"Yes!"
I nodded solemnly. I didn't need her reminder to know that this dagger was definitely of extraordinary significance.
Such a " fierce " sword was much more powerful than the " Slaughter Blade ". With this sword in hand, not to mention ordinary ghosts, even ghost babies would not dare to approach it easily.
As I was thinking about this, I hurriedly placed the short sword in my hand back into the stall. At the same time, I shook my head with a disappointed look on my face and re-examined the other items in the stall.
This is how things are. Master taught me since I was young to never show any interest in something that you are really interested in.
Otherwise, even if it was not worth a single cent, once you showed a strong interest in it, the boss would take the opportunity to increase the price.
Even though I had more than 10,000 yuan in cash, the 7,000 yuan that Fatty had transferred to me previously, and even a bank card worth 2,000,000 yuan, I wasn't really short of money.
However, my money didn't come from the wind. Naturally, I would save as much as I could. I definitely couldn't let the boss find out my true intentions.
It was a small matter to spend more money, but if the stall owner suddenly realized the true value of this thing and wanted to buy it again, it would be difficult.
As expected, the peddler at the stall was originally sizing me up with a fiery look on his face, as if he was treating me as a fat sheep and was preparing to sharpen his knife!
However, when I put down my short sword with a disappointed expression, his eyes couldn't help but flash with disappointment as well.
On the surface, my gaze was constantly sizing up the other items on the stall. In reality, my peripheral vision was constantly paying attention to the hawker's every move.
The peddler in front of him was slightly fat, his skin was a little dark, and he was not tall. From his appearance alone, he did not look like a profiteer. On the contrary, he looked rather honest and honest, like an honest farmer!
However, after I carefully scanned the other items on his stall, I immediately dispelled this thought.
Because other than the short sword I saw just now, almost all of his stalls are fake and inferior. Some of them are even very skilled in faking.
It was only because I was born with the ability to see through the earth that I was very sensitive to things like antiques. Otherwise, I was afraid that even I would have been deceived by him.
Thus, I pretended to casually glance at the brush holder in front of me. It was one of the few antiques that had been forged with very clever methods. I asked with a slightly surprised expression,"Boss, how much is this?"
Seeing that I had taken a fancy to this " high-quality imitation " product, the peddler's eyes unconsciously flashed with a hint of pride. Then, he smiled apologetically and said,"This little brother really has good eyesight. He actually took a fancy to my treasure at a glance!”
"F * ck!"
When I heard this, I was instantly speechless. I thought to myself, where did so many " treasures " come from? A broken pen holder, and it's even a high-quality imitation. How dare you say " treasures "?
The rusted short sword was indeed worthy of its name as the " treasure of the stall ". Unfortunately, he did not know about it.
Before I could say anything, the peddler continued,"To be honest, this brush pot really has a great background! It was said that it was used by Lord Kangxi back then. My ancestor was the head of the palace at that time, so I secretly…"
"Chief of Internal Affairs?"
Before the peddler could finish his sentence, Yu Haitao suddenly laughed and couldn't help but tease,""Isn't that a eunuch? If your ancestor was really the chief steward of the palace, how could he have left you behind? Could it be that he was adopted?"
"This…"
The peddler was rendered speechless by the question. Only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing, so he smiled awkwardly and said,"Maybe she entered the palace after she got married and had children…"
"Alright!"
I couldn't help but laugh as soon as the peddler finished speaking. Then, I said with a serious expression,"A straightforward person won't beat around the bush. I'll be honest. Actually, I'm also in this line of work. Naturally, I can tell at a glance that this thing of yours is actually new! Not only this brush holder, but also these few…"
As I said that, I subconsciously pointed at a few other antiques that were very well forged. Then, I saw the hawker's expression change all of a sudden. He seemed to be a little angry and was about to flare up.
They probably thought that we were here to cause trouble.
"However, the workmanship is indeed excellent. Apart from true experts, I reckon that not many people can tell!" It just so happens that my friend's house has just been renovated. He's a good person. It's not bad to have these few things in the study!”
I saw that the hawker's expression had begun to ease up, so I lowered my voice and said sincerely,"How about this? Boss, tell me the price and I'll buy it directly. I guarantee that I won't let you suffer a loss!”
"This…"
Sure enough, after hearing my "heartfelt words", the peddler at the stall hesitated for a moment. Then, he subconsciously pointed at the few high-quality imitations."Are you sure you want them all?"
"Of course!"
Nodding my head affirmatively, I subconsciously patted my bulging pockets and smiled."I brought the money!"
"Uh…"
Hearing my explanation, the peddler hesitated even more. Then, he tried to stretch out five fingers."Five thousand?"
"F * ck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Haitao was the first to be unhappy. He subconsciously cursed,"Why are you selling it at such a high price?"
As he said that, he couldn't help but pull me back. He said in exasperation,"You too! There must be a hole in your head. You clearly knew that it was fake, yet you still f * cking bought it!”
"If you really want to buy it, there are a lot of high-quality imitations on the street. Let alone 5,000 yuan, I can buy you a bunch of them for 50 yuan!”
After saying that, he wanted to forcefully drag me out of here. When the peddler saw this situation, he immediately became anxious and hurriedly said,"Don't, don't, don't! It was business. Which one of them didn't ask for an exorbitant price and pay back the money when they landed? 5,000 yuan is just the price I offered. If you guys are really interested, you should make a counter-offer! There's always a discussion…"
"A hundred dollars!"
Yu Haitao raised a finger without hesitation and said firmly,""No more!"
"F * ck!"
As soon as he said this, the peddler was instantly flustered and exasperated. He hurriedly waved his hand and said,"Alright! Please go ahead! I've never seen you haggle like this. You don't have any sincerity at all!”
"Forget it! I don't care!"
Yu Haitao was afraid that I would fall for it, so he wanted to pull me away. He couldn't wait for the peddler to chase us away.
Of course I can't leave!
I was still f * cking waiting to buy that unattractive short sword, so I asked Yu Haitao to let go of me. Then, I smiled at the vendor and said,"He's joking with you!"
"But your price is indeed a little too much! How about this? I'll buy one for my friend to see first. If he really likes it, I'll buy a few more.”
"Alright!"
The peddler nodded subconsciously and asked hurriedly,""How much are you offering?"
I hesitated for a moment before offering the normal price of a replica."Two hundred!"
"Deal!"
The peddler was straightforward and threw the pen holder in his hand to me."This one!"
He was smart. Among these high-quality imitations, this pen holder was the easiest to counterfeit. The cost was only a few dozen yuan. With a price of 200 yuan, he really did not lose out.
I didn't hesitate either. I took out 200 yuan and prepared to hand it to the peddler. I was about to take the opportunity to ask for the short sword as an extra.
Yu Haitao subconsciously snatched the 200 yuan from my hand and scolded,"Are you crazy? 200 yuan for such a lousy pen holder? If you want to buy it, you should buy the vase next to it. It looks so grand in the room…"
"That won't do!"
Before Yu Haitao could finish his sentence, the peddler suddenly became anxious and quickly picked up his vase."This vase costs more than 200 yuan!”
This was true. Forging porcelain was not as simple as forging a pen holder. The entire process was indeed very troublesome.
"This…"
After Yu Haitao made such a fuss, I couldn't help but pretend to be hesitant and pretended to return the pen holder to the boss. Unexpectedly, the boss took the initiative to say,"If you really think it's too much of a loss, why don't you just pick a small thing as an addition?”
"Of course, these few items won't do!"
As he said that, he hurriedly protected the other few high-quality imitations and left a bunch of fakes for me to choose from.
"Alright then!"
I shrugged helplessly and pretended to be reluctant. However, I was already overjoyed in my heart. After wasting so much effort, wasn't this what I was waiting for?
Thus, I held the brush holder in my hand and began to randomly choose again. I couldn't help but complain in a low voice,"Boss, I don't want to say this, but you really don't have anything else to choose from other than the few pieces I've taken a fancy to…"
As I said that, I 'helplessly' weighed the short sword in my hand and threw it into the brush holder in disgust."I'll take it as a friend! It didn't matter if it was an addition or not!”
"Eh?"
When the peddler saw this, he couldn't help but hesitate. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Haitao couldn't help but complain to me," Why did you have to take a broken piece of metal? If you ask me, you should have taken that vase from earlier. It looked so majestic…"
The boss was still a little hesitant and was about to take the short sword back to take a look. When he heard this, he couldn't help but take two steps back while hugging the vase. At the same time, he said straightforwardly,"Deal!"
"Sigh…"
When Yu Haitao saw this, he could only look at me helplessly with disappointment. Then, he cursed and unwillingly handed the 200 yuan in his hand to the boss…
