While they were talking, Qin Fen and Kun Ruosi had already gone to the third floor of the antique city. Not to mention, there were really many shops here, one after another, and the items looked dazzling.
"Brother Qin Fen, do you think there are any good things for sale here?" Kun Ruosi looked at the various shops and couldn't help but curiously asked Qin Fen.
"Of course there are, but basically you can't see the ones displayed outside. The really good things are kept inside by the store, and they usually won't be taken out!" Qin Fen nodded and said.
"Why is that?!" Kun Ruosi asked puzzled.
"Haha, it's very simple. Once you put it on the treasure rack outside, there are so many customers every day and there are so many people with so many hands. It would be bad if it gets damaged. Of course, it might be lost. Besides, this business has
There is an unwritten rule. For some good things, the shopkeeper also has to look at the customers. If there are really those customers who really know the goods and are not short of money, maybe the boss will take them out!"
"There are so many rules here, I don't care. Anyway, I'm just here to buy a red sandalwood box!" Kunruosi clicked his tongue.
"Okay, let's go into the store in front and have a look. We should be able to buy what we want!" As Qin Fen spoke, he pointed to a store not far away, and saw the words "Wenwan Grocery Store" written on it.
After the two entered the store, they found that the store only looked about a hundred square meters, but there were many treasure shelves. Each treasure shelf was filled with different categories of cultural toys. This made Qin
Fen's eyes lit up, no matter what, this store owner organized the store in an orderly manner.
At this time, there were three or five customers in the store, who were choosing their own things. When Qin Fen and Kun Ruosi came in, they saw a store clerk who had already greeted them, "Please come in, I don't know what I need to order."
!”
"Do you have any red sandalwood boxes in your store? They are boxes used to store antiques!" Kun Ruosi said directly.
"Yes, of course there is, you two, please come over here!"
While they were talking, the store clerk had already led the two of them to a treasure rack and said, "These boxes, you two, are all boxes for holding antiques. The materials are different and the prices are different. The cheapest ones are made of paper. Secondly,
There are plastic ones, and then there are these wooden ones..."
Following the store clerk's introduction, Qin Fen and Kun Ruosi's eyes fell on the treasure shelf. Sure enough, they saw a dazzling array of boxes placed here, and they were of different sizes. But at the end, Kun Ruosi and Qin Fen also
I just glanced at the wooden box a few times, but it looked like there was some disappointment on the face.
"Is there anything better?!" Qin Fen turned around and asked directly.
"These wooden boxes are of the highest quality, and look at these, they are all hand-carved, and they are inlaid with red copper edges and locks!" the store clerk hurriedly recommended to the two of them.
"The stuff is pretty good, but it's not hand-carved, and the wood isn't that good either. The best thing is this red pine!" Qin Fen took a look at it and shook his head.
These store clerks see countless people every day. When they heard what Qin Fen said, they subconsciously looked at the two of them. To be honest, it was hard to tell from their clothes that Qin Fen and Kun Ruosi were rich people, but
After working as a waiter here for a long time, he discovered a pattern: the richer the people, the more ordinary they look, and generally those discerning customers are very simple.
So after a moment of silence, he hurriedly said: "The requirements of the two of you are really not low. Okay, you two go sit on the sofa over there first. I'll go ask our boss for instructions and see if there is anything better in the store."
Already."
After that, he led Qin Fen and Kun Ruosi to sit on the sofa aside, then poured them each a cup of tea, and then walked towards the back hall.
"If there really isn't a good one, let's just buy the red pine one. It looks pretty good to me!" Kunruosiming said after taking a sip of tea.
"Don't worry, they must have good stuff!"
As soon as Qin Fen finished speaking, he saw the store clerk from before walking towards them with a middle-aged man. This man looked slightly fat and had a beer belly, but his appearance was somewhat kind.
"I heard that you two want something good!" The middle-aged man came over and said with a hurried smile.
"Haha, boss, I just want to buy two boxes for antiques, preferably made of high-quality wood!" Kun Ruosi glanced at the man and said directly.
The middle-aged man looked at the two of them, then his eyes fell on Qin Fen. He frowned and couldn't help but wonder: "This gentleman, we seem to have met somewhere?!"
Qin Fen raised his eyes and looked at the other person, and chuckled: "I am a popular person, people say that wherever I go!"
"Ahem...I remembered. I saw you at the auction last night. Yesterday you fought for a long time with a beard for a piece of Hetian jade. Although you didn't buy anything, it made me remember it.
It's still new, and I remember that later on, you bought a black inkstone!" The man said with a slap on his forehead.
"So that's it. If you put it this way, you also have the items that were sold at the auction?!" Qin Fen didn't feel surprised and asked directly.
"Haha, you are overthinking it. All the things up for auction belong to Lan Yun, and some of them are provided by other shops related to Lan Yun. I have nothing to do with the other party, so he will not let him.
My things are in the auction!" The middle-aged man said with a helpless look.
Seeing the other party's expression, Qin Fen understood something in his heart, and immediately smiled and said: "It seems there is something in your words!"
The man looked around, then sat down, and whispered: "This kind of auction is clearly designed to deceive foreign tourists. How can any of the things be genuine? I don't even bother to deceive people with them.
If you say that you want to come to an antique shop and look at me, that is something you and I both agree on, but if you use fake items to go to auction, that would be unethical!"
"Haha, what you said is so straightforward, but I heard that Lan Yun's strength in this area is not small. If you say this, aren't you afraid of being heard by his spy?!" Qin Fen asked with a smile.
"Of course I'm scared, but I heard that after the auction ended yesterday, Lan Yun's people seemed to have been beaten up, and Lan Yun didn't get any benefits. I think this person should be you?!" The boss
He smiled mysteriously.
"It seems that you are really well-informed. Now that it has been discovered, I will tell you the truth. The black inkstone I took a photo of yesterday is a good thing!"
Qin Fen has spent a moment carefully observing the boss. From the words and eyes of the other party, Qin Fen can basically conclude that this person is not talking nonsense, and it can be seen that he seems to hate Lan Yun very much.
"That square inkstone is just an ordinary stone, not even of any value!" The man's expression changed and he said hurriedly.
"Haha, but there are good things in that square inkstone. Let me tell you, there is a top-quality Tao inkstone hidden in it, so I came here today to buy a good box that can hold the Tao inkstone!"
"The best Tao inkstone?!" Upon hearing this, the man's expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly asked: "Are you telling the truth?! If that's the case, then Lan Yun will probably be furious."
At this time, the two people who had been hiding outside the store had heard their conversation, but they did not dare to move at this moment, but were waiting for Lan Yun's order.
"Okay, I have a lot to tell you. Now it's time to tell you whether you have what I need. If not, then I'll leave!" After Qin Fen said this, his eyes fell on the other party.
On the body.
"Okay, I'll get it for you now, and I won't charge you a penny today!" The man said and hurriedly walked inside.
When the other party left, Kun Ruosi frowned and hurriedly whispered to Qin Fen: "Didn't you say that wealth should not be exposed? How could you tell the other party that you got the best Tao Inkstone?!"
"Haha, because I want to let the wind go out now, so Lan Yun will have to believe it, and he will definitely not be able to sit still. As long as they take action, I will have a way to find out what's going on behind his back.
Moreover, this boss seems to be always being bullied by Lan Yun. We must get some information about Lan Yun from the other party. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle!"
Qin Fen smiled lightly and said.
"I understand, and I'm sure that what you just said must have been heard by Lan Yun's men." Kun Ruosi said after scanning the surroundings.
"Absolutely. Isn't that what we want?"
While Qin Fen was talking, he saw that the boss had come over again, holding two boxes in his arms. Qin Fen just glanced at it casually and knew that the two boxes in the other person's hands were good things.
"Take a look, you two. These two boxes are made of high-quality rosewood, and the auspicious cloud patterns on them are all hand-carved. If you look at the density and workmanship, they are definitely the best. Of course, this is also
It’s not an old thing, it’s made in modern times!”
While the man was talking, he had already placed two boxes on the coffee table.
Kun Ruosi and Qin Fen each picked up a box and looked at it.
"Yes, they are indeed high-quality red sandalwood boxes. I want both of these boxes. Can the boss give me a price?!" Qin Fen looked at the two boxes. Not only did they look exquisite on the outside, but they were also exquisite on the inside.
The decoration is good, and the size should be just enough to fit the Tao inkstone and the luminous cup.
"I, Wang Renhe, keep my word. I will give these two red sandalwood boxes to you!" the boss said immediately.
"What do you mean? No reward for no merit, how can I ask for your things in vain?!" Qin Fen waved his hand and smiled.
"Let's put it this way, you have frustrated Lan Yun, which is why I gave it away for free. To be honest, it is really not easy for us to open a store here, and we have to pay Lan Yun every month, most of which
People dare to be angry but dare not speak!"
As Wang Renhe spoke, he couldn't help but have a hint of helplessness on his face. Qin Fen could see what the other person was thinking, and immediately nodded and said: "It seems that Lan Yun is really the dominant one here. If you can, you can
Tell me what background this Lan Yun has, why is he so arrogant and no one dares to take care of him?!"
"Okay, let me tell you, in fact, this Lan Yun..."
"Wang Renhe, I heard you talking bad things about me from afar. Who gave you such courage?!" At this moment, he suddenly saw seven or eight people rushing into his shop.
The leader was none other than Lan Yun, who was taken care of by Qin Fen yesterday.
