Driving a beast-like black Land Rover, we headed straight to the largest antique market in F City.
Nalan Yunying gave a brief introduction on the way: "The antique market in F City is one of the best in Xia Kingdom. Basically all the big antique shops are here... However, I don't know much about antiques. We will go directly there in a while.
Just find a little old man named Uncle Bing, who is familiar with my grandfather, and ask him to recommend one."
Ye Kai is even less familiar with antiques and has no right to speak.
The car stopped on the side of the road, and the two of them walked into an antique gate with several ancient Chinese characters for antique market carved on it. They saw rows of antique vendors.
It's not much different from a night market.
It's just that the scale is much larger and the management is strict. Each stall has a unified cabin with a number and store name on it, neatly.
"If you are passing by, don't miss it, the best ancient coins of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties..."
"The remaining pieces of blue and white porcelain are sold cheaply..."
When someone walks by, the stall owners shout from time to time to sell their business.
Nalan Yunying said: "What these stalls sell can only be regarded as antiques. There are very few antiques and they are basically worthless. There are also many fakes and old scammers. You can be blackmailed accidentally."
"You know a lot!" Ye Kai looked around and had never been to a place like this.
"You will know if you listen more. My brother was once fooled. Once when the old man celebrated his birthday, he spent three million to buy an ancient painting, saying it was an authentic work by Tang Bohu. Guess what happened?"
"What's wrong?"
"The painting was touched by my niece, and her hand was covered with ink. Only then did she realize that it was actually a new painting. The ability to forge it was too strong. For this matter, my brother spent a full month tracking down the liar, but
In the end, not even a shadow was found.”
Ye Kai smiled and could only guess that someone spent three million to buy a fake painting. At that time, he worked hard day and night for a few thousand yuan, fearing that he would not be able to get enough money to buy medicine. It was really annoying to compare people to each other.
"When I have money, I will spend it ruthlessly. I will just buy a bunch of three million worth of fake paintings and use them as firewood!!"
He was thinking secretly, but at this moment his eyes flashed, and he suddenly sensed a powerful wave of spiritual power.
Hey, what?
He immediately opened the Eyes of the Immortal Phoenix and looked for the place where the spiritual power was emitted. He found that the fluctuation came from a stall numbered 120.
"Little Leaf, what's wrong?"
Nalan Yunying was walking and found that no one was around. When she turned around, she found that Ye Kai had run to the stall next to her.
At this time, Ye Kai had already locked onto a black linen bag at the feet of the stall owner. The spiritual power fluctuations came from there. He smiled at Nalan Yunying and said lightly: "I just want to take a look."
"What's there to see here? They're all junk." Nalan wasn't afraid of offending anyone, so he picked up an object and threw it away.
Ye Kai took the opportunity to say: "Yes, boss, the things you have here are not very good. They are also available at other stalls. They are too unoriginal. Do you have any better products? Hey, what is in your black bag?"
, take it out and have a look.”
The boss was a tall and thin middle-aged man. He first took a look at the clothes Ye Kai and Nalan were wearing. He was also smart. He read that the clothes were expensive. He immediately said with a smile: "The two handsome guys and beauties came at the right time. I
There really just happened to be a new batch of goods, which are definitely good things, but the price..."
Nalan said impatiently: "Bring out what you have, mother-in-law, Xiao Zizi, what kind of treasure can a small stall like this have? Let's take a walk. Uncle Bing's Jubao Zhai is a thousand times bigger than here. There are many good things here."
When the time comes, you take your time and choose, and I’ll give it to you.”
When the boss heard this, his eyes lit up even more. Jubaozhai is very famous in the entire antique market. It is said that the boss Chen Erbing used to be a gold digger and was very good at antiques. Many well-known archaeological experts have to honor him.
Uncle Bing, nothing in his shop is less than one million, and some are easily worth tens of millions. Are the customers who go there to buy things rich?
The boss quickly said: "You two, don't leave in a hurry. Come, come, these are good goods. If you are not a sincere customer, I won't take them out!"
As the black sack was opened, the boss first took out a glazed porcelain pony, which was brightly colored and lifelike; then an earthy yellow earthenware pot, like a chamber pot, and then a jade finger ring, an old jade pendant, etc., which he
Take out the pieces and introduce them one by one.
Ye Kai's eyes swept over each item, but there was no spiritual power fluctuation in any of them, until he stopped taking out anything...
"No more?"
He could still feel the spiritual power in the bag. At this time, he directly turned on the perspective function of the Immortal Phoenix Eyes. The black sack quickly disappeared, revealing the scene inside... It turned out to be three khaki fist-sized stones, which looked very ordinary.
, not much different from the stones filling holes on the roadside, but the spiritual power does come from above.
The boss looked inside and said, "No more."
There were only a few worthless stones left in it, and he planned to throw them away later. He thought: Really, Lao Zhang, what are you doing by putting a few stones in there? I just walked hundreds of miles carrying such a heavy bag.
rice.
In fact, this bag of goods was taken from the hands of a fellow tomb robber. The fellow tomb robber sold the stolen goods. These three stones and the chamber pot-like thing were taken from the platform of the same tomb, but he couldn't see anything special about it.
I just thought that the fellow had taken the wrong thing in a hurry and threw the stone into the bag as a treasure.
Of course, his fellow countryman didn't know how precious the stone was, so he just fished it in casually.
Nalan looked left and right: "It's nothing special. This pony doesn't look like an antique; this chamber pot... I don't know who has used it. Little Ye Zi, do you dare to put your thing in?"
These jade pendants and the like look like old topaz with too many wrinkles and are worthless. Let’s go, let’s go, there’s nothing to look at.”
Ye Kai sweated a little. The tomboy was indeed a tomboy, and he actually said something about whether he dared to put that thing in. Is this something a girl can say?
He looked at it and picked up the khaki earthen pot casually: "Why don't I dare to put it in? Can't I just wash it off? Even if someone has used it, after so many years, it has long lost the smell, right?
"
"You really dare to use it?"
"Haha... Boss, how much does this chamber pot cost?" Ye Kai faced the boss.
"This..." He directly said it was a chamber pot, how much more could he ask for, and it seemed that they wanted to buy it because they had bargained with each other! This dirty chamber pot was also the one he was least optimistic about, but when he saw
The two people in front of me were rich people, and they quoted a price of 10,000 yuan.
Nalan immediately said: "Okay, wrap it up and give it to me, little Ye Zi. You can't break your promise when you go back. You have to put the baby in and show it to me. Those who don't put it in are cowards."
Ye Kai shouted: "You are a woman, how can you not be such a gangster? I will let you go, what's so good about you?"
"Tch, it's not like I haven't seen it before. I don't know who came up to me yesterday and acted shamelessly!"
"You..., boss, this thing is too eye-catching in your hand. Give me your black bag and put it in it. Oh, just leave these stones to confuse the appearance." He then ordered, actually feeling quite nervous.
He was afraid that the boss would see something wrong and not give him a stone.
Fortunately, the boss was not suspicious. The sale of a broken chamber pot for 10,000 yuan was much higher than his expectation, so he immediately packed it up and gave it to him, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.
Carrying the black bag and leaving, after walking for a while, Ye Kai immediately reached out and took out the stone inside, and examined it carefully with the eyes of the immortal phoenix. Unexpectedly, this time he could not see through its essence even with perspective, but there was a faint...
The spiritual energy entered his body from the stone.
