Afterwards, several people happily had dinner at Deyilou, fully preparing for the upcoming ghost market.
At the dinner table, they were still discussing the competition between Qiao Meng and Wang Gang. It was a joy to watch. As for Qiao Meng's speed in breaking stones and his understanding of wool materials, there was really no one present who did not admire him.
Even Tian Lao himself said that at his peak, he did not have such level of knowledge and decoding skills.
And Ge Yuling, who was sitting next to Qiao Meng, heard everyone constantly praising how awesome and talented Qiao Meng was. She felt very happy in her heart, because the man she liked was in the eyes of others.
It's very good, so she will be even more proud of it. The only flaw is that now it's just Ge Yuling's unrequited love.
Although I don't know what Qiao Meng is thinking, at least he belongs to Yao Miaomiao now. Ge Yuling is not the kind of woman who will do anything to achieve her goals, not to mention that she and Yao Miaomiao are still very good sisters.
It is because of this that she cannot express her inner thoughts and feelings too much, otherwise it will be an unbearable result not only for Qiao Meng and Yao Miaomiao, but also for herself.
Now that she can be by Qiao Meng's side all the time, even though the relationship between the two is just friends, she is already very satisfied with this status quo.
If one day they really have a chance to be together, it will be if there is no harm done to both parties, at least that's what she thinks in her heart.
As she thought about it, Ge Yuling's expression began to become a little melancholy again. She didn't even notice it herself. On the contrary, Qiao Meng felt the change in her mood, so he asked with concern: "Sister Yuling, what's wrong with you? You suddenly look depressed.
You look like you don’t like the food, do you?”
"No, I just haven't eaten much recently. I saw so many delicious foods, so I was a little confused whether to eat them or not." Ge Yuling was a little frightened by Qiao Meng's question, but then she had an idea and came up with such a rhetoric.
"It doesn't matter, you are already in good shape now, so just eat more if you come here tonight." Qiao Meng said very gently and put vegetables into the bowl for her.
Ge Yuling felt a little happy when she felt the care from Qiao Meng, and then in order to hide some of her true feelings, she said: "Well, I know, if you don't eat more, you may be hungry tonight."
It took more than two hours to finish this meal. Qiao Meng felt his belly was full after eating it. The chef in Deyilou was very skilled.
After resting for more than half an hour and regaining his composure, Qiao Meng asked: "Master, it's getting late. Where will the ghost market be open tonight? Why haven't I received any news at all?"
"Haha, don't worry, you will know soon. Sit down first. It should start in half an hour." Tianlao did not explain the situation directly but asked Qiao Meng to continue to rest and played a riddle.
.
Qiao Meng, who couldn't get the answer, ran to Wang Zhe and asked again, "Brother Wang Zhe, isn't the Dagui Market opening in half an hour tonight? Why are we still resting here? If that's the case,
If you arrive late then, many good things will be snatched up by others."
"Xiao Meng, don't be impatient. You'll know later. We naturally have our own reasons for doing this. You don't have to worry." Wang Zhe didn't tell Qiao Meng what was going on.
Playing riddles.
So Qiao Meng ran to Jin Long again, wanting to ask this guy who had the most shaky mouth to see if he could know anything about the situation.
"Brother Jinlong, isn't this going to happen tonight..."
"Stop it, I don't know either, let's just wait."
Qiao Meng was interrupted by Jin Long just in the middle of asking. He was very confused. It would be fine if others didn't tell him. Tian Lao is his master. It's normal for great masters to like to play mysteries. Wang Zhe is proud of the building.
It is normal for the boss to have a distinguished status and also like to play mysteries.
But why did Jin Long, who had always disliked keeping secrets, refuse to reveal information to him? Was it because he really didn’t know? Or was he colluding and saying this on purpose?
In desperation, he returned to the seat next to Ge Yuling and sat down, waiting for the time God said he would come.
Finally, half an hour later, the bell in the inner hall rang on time, and Qiao suddenly jumped up from his seat and walked to Tianlao.
"Master, the time has come. Should we set off? If it's any later, we may not have many treasures left." Qiao Meng begged Tian Lao.
"Okay, let's go downstairs. You will know when we get downstairs." Tianlao finally didn't say where he was going, so Qiao Meng could only follow closely and walk down the sixth floor.
When they reached the fifth floor, Tianlao stopped walking down and took the lead into the darkly lit fifth-floor door.
"It's strange, brother Wang Zhe, why are the five floors not open? What is the master going to do? Did he leave something inside?" Qiao Meng asked very puzzled.
"Let's go in, and get the flashlight at the door." Wang Zhe said calmly.
At this time, Qiao Meng suddenly understood. It turned out that they had never told him where the Dagui Market was open and they were not in a hurry to leave because this time the Dagui Market was located on the fifth floor of Deyi Building, which was indeed spacious enough.
, compared to those streets, a spacious hall like this can accommodate a large amount of materials and personnel.
Thinking back to the performance of Wang Gang and others yesterday, it turns out that they had known about this for a long time. The reason why they asked Qiao Meng to take them into the ghost market and help them select treasures was all because of this time.
The big ghost market is held right under their feet, no wonder they are so active.
Qiao Meng, who felt that he had been fooled once, was determined to regain some face, so he dragged Ge Yuling to follow the group and deliberately said: "So the reason why you suddenly said that yesterday is because of this, you actually fooled me, baby
I don’t have much energy to watch anything else. My abilities are limited, little brother. I’m really tired after going through another battle just now.”
"Hey, Xiao Meng, these guys forced me to do this. In fact, I wanted to tell you the truth early in the morning, but they wouldn't let me. They even threatened me with quitting the association." Jin Long heard this from Qiao Meng.
I don’t plan to find treasures for them anymore. Come over quickly to admit your mistake and seek forgiveness.
Qiao Meng didn't believe his nonsense, and actually made up such a thing about being expelled from the association. If it was so easy to expel a person, would Qiao Meng participate in such an association? He was not an idiot.
If that were the case, he wouldn't even recognize Master Tian as his master.
Qiao Meng simply ignored Jin Long's ramblings and took Ge Yuling with him to start looking for good treasures that might be hidden inside the venue with his flashlight.
He said that if he encounters something good that Ge Yuling likes, he will definitely take it and give it to her. Of course, if they are the only ones who discover it first, they can just buy it directly without the need for competitive auctions.
At this time, Jin Long still did not give up the pursuit of Qiao Meng, and continued to follow behind him, chanting sutras and searching for treasures, while Wang Gang and others followed closely behind. In order to find treasures tonight, they all turned on the shameless mode.
In desperation, Qiao Meng had no choice but to let them follow, but he had to agree to let Ge Yuling choose the baby first. Everyone agreed immediately after hearing this. It is the right thing to be modest to girls, not to mention that she is a beauty and has a close relationship with Qiao Meng.
Qian, of course they wouldn't be so stupid as to disagree with this.
As he was talking, Qiao Meng suddenly shined a flashlight on a pendant. He saw that the pendant was round and hollow, and Ge Yuling fell in love with it as soon as he saw it.
"How's it going, Sister Yuling, do you like this pendant?" Qiao Meng felt the admiration in Ge Yuling's eyes, so he asked.
"Yeah." A simple word expressed Ge Yuling's entire mood at this time. She was deeply attracted by the pendant.
Wang Gang and others looked at the pendant illuminated by the light from behind and couldn't help but marvel that it had such a beautiful design.
"Boss, how do you sell this pendant?" Qiao Meng asked the price without saying anything.
"Five million." The boss was frightened to death when he spoke. Although this pendant is beautiful and the material seems to be high-end, it shouldn't be so expensive.
"Boss, can you let me feel its texture?"
Qiao Meng asked cautiously, because he thought it would be difficult to get hold of such a valuable item in such a dark situation, fearing that the store would be worried that it would be taken away by him.
But there is no need to worry about this, because there is infrared night vision monitoring on site, so you can still see clearly no matter how dark it is, and there is only one way in and out, and you cannot leave early until it is over. Stores who enter this place are optimistic about the situation.
Just came.
"Okay." The store owner agreed to Qiao Meng's request easily.
Qiao Meng, who was originally surprised, understood after Wang Gang explained in a low voice. He took over the pendant, and his treasure identification ability was immediately activated.
"The raw material of extremely old jadeite, gold wire decoration, and exquisite hollow design. Even the structure inside the jadeite is actually well maintained. Otherwise, it would not be possible to hollow out and not be broken. The red stones in the hollow are actually
It's a ruby, a product of the Tang Dynasty. It was really rare to have such skills at that time. Five million would probably be a bargain." Qiao Meng kept thinking about the situation of this treasure in his mind.
He quickly said to the boss: "Okay, it's just five million. I bought it. Should I just swipe my card?"
Qiao Meng still has 30 to 40 million in his bank card, so there is no big problem with the five million, but such a large sum of money has surprised others.
"Qiao Meng, are you sure it's worth it?" Although Ge Yuling was very happy that his love was valued by him, she still didn't want to spend money randomly.
"That's right, Xiaomeng, don't be impulsive." Wang Zhe and others also tried to dissuade Qiao Meng.
"Haha, it's worth it. Do you think I will waste my money? If I feel something is wrong, I will definitely tell you." Qiao Meng said with a gentle smile.
Everyone thought his explanation was reasonable. Ever since I met him, I have never seen him fail to report something wrong with a treasure immediately. It seems that this pendant should have its own uniqueness.
Anyway, it was Qiao Meng who spent the money, so they said no more.
