Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Xia Mo was full of pride.""Old Gu, Uncle Wang, be a witness for me and Su Tong. Let's see who will be the lucky one today.”As she spoke, she reminded him worriedly," You can't be biased just because Su Tong performed well just now. You can't give her any hints!”
"The two of you just go shopping by yourself. I'll do business with Taichu.”Old Gu waved his hand with a smile and entered the market with Wang Taichu.
"Su Tong, let's go our separate ways and meet up in half an hour. What do you think?”
"..." Su Tong didn't comment. She had planned to go with Old Gu, but she was interrupted. However, since she had come to such a high-end antique market, it was good to broaden her horizons.
Xia Mo was still thinking about how to make a bet when Su Tong stopped him.""There's no need for a prize. It's meaningless if it's small. Old Gu and Uncle Wang will be unhappy if it's big.”
Hearing that, Xia Mo waved the phone in his hand at Su Tong." Alright, let's see who spends the least money and gets the best things.”After saying that, he walked away confidently. After a few steps, he turned back and signaled Su Tong not to go in the same direction as him, afraid that Su Tong would snatch the good things at the same time.
Su Tong lowered her head and smiled as she walked up to the second floor.
There were two basic conditions to pick up the leftovers.
First of all, the item must be authentic. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how cheap it was. Secondly, the shop owner had eyes that did not recognize gold inlaid with jade. Only then would he have the opportunity to buy the item at a low price.
This had already determined that picking up scraps was not an easy task. Not only did one have to have good eyesight and a high level of appreciation, but one also had to be an experienced and powerful shop owner to make a mistake. The difficulty could be imagined.
Su Tong visited three or four antique markets in succession. No matter what grade the antique market was, more than 95% of the items on the shelves were fakes. The remaining 5% were old imitations of high quality. If one wanted to clean up the items here, the probability was obvious.
Of course, the shop also had some good stuff, but the price was naturally not cheap. It was not considered a good pick up.
Hence, Su Tong did not find a single item from the three or four shops.
However, he was not discouraged and continued to enter the fifth shop.
The shop was made up of two doors and had an area of about 60 square meters. The decoration was in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The layout of the shelves and some furniture was also a little exquisite.
"Sir, what do you want to see?" A beautiful shop assistant came up to them with a bright smile." I can introduce them to you.”
"There's no hurry. I'll take a look first." Su Tong declined his kindness and started to look around the shop. It was not good to touch everything with her fingers, so she could only pick and try the things that she felt.
However, after half a circle, he still did not find anything. He looked up and saw the beautiful shop assistant with long hair and fair skin looking at him with a smile. It seemed that she was going to come over and recommend him again.
Su Tong smiled apologetically at her. Just as she was about to say that she didn't need to trouble her to go to another house to take a look, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked in from the back door. He happened to see the two of them smiling at each other. Obviously, he misunderstood and immediately put on a cold face."Little Lian, who is this?"
"Boss, this gentleman is a customer who came to the shop to see something.”The beautiful shop assistant explained.
The middle-aged man's expression eased up a little. He carefully sized up Su Tong. She was not wearing any branded clothes, but she was young and energetic. Her eyes were especially bright and clear. If it were a girl's face, it would definitely be said to be stunning. It was a little strange to use this term on a young man. However, those eyes made her already well-shaped facial features look handsome.
With a snort, the big belly held his breath and said in a strange tone,"Little Lian, you're usually such a smart little girl. Who's worth spending time on and who doesn't need to waste time on? It's been a few months since you came, but you still can't learn.”
In his words, Su Tong did not look like a rich person who could not afford anything good. When Little Lian heard this, she immediately blushed. However, it was not because she was scolded by the boss. Instead, she smiled apologetically and awkwardly at Su Tong, at a loss.
Originally, Su Tong had already planned to leave. However, after being ridiculed like this, even a clay Bodhisattva would have some naivety. Moreover, a hot-blooded young man like Su Tong changed his mind at that moment and went against him.
He didn't waste any more time talking to the shop owner. He walked to the other side of the shop and began to carefully identify and investigate.
He was no longer too embarrassed to look at each item one by one, and he swept his fingertips over each item.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't touch it! If you break it, you won't be able to afford it!" Seeing Su Tong's attitude, the shop owner felt even more provoked and was furious.
"Don't tell me that you can only put the things you sell on the shelves and look at them?”Su Tong turned her head and asked calmly.
"If others can afford it, of course they can take it and look at it. You're so poor, are you using my things to make yourself cough? Don't dirty my floor, don't dirty my door!”
Before Su Tong could retort, Xia Mo's voice came from the door.""I say, kid, you just earned more than a million yuan. You came to this run-down shop to pretend to be poor.”
Xia Mo was holding a fan in his hand. It seemed to be the spoils of war from earlier. He glanced at the shopkeeper indifferently.
Hiss, the owner looked at Xia Mo's rich and pampered manner, especially the premium green ring on his finger and the thin gold Rolex watch called 2015. He also heard the tone of this young man, which sounded like he was protecting his son. It was obvious that the two of them knew each other. It was really unexpected that this poor kid in the shop would know such a rich person. His expression changed immediately."Look at what you're saying. We wake up early and stay up late to do business. If we only look at them and don't buy them, we'll lose everything.”
Xia Mo lifted his eyelids." That's because your shop doesn't have anything good. How can you buy it?"”
The shop owner choked, but he didn't dare to speak rudely to Xia Mo. He was really unhappy.
However, Xia Mo said to Su Tong,""Anyway, it's almost time. Why don't you just admit defeat?”
It turned out that the two of them were in a competitive relationship. The shop owner relaxed a little and sneered at Su Tong, who was squatting at the bottom of the shelf and looking at the items."Of course there are good things. They're not on the shelves. You can take them out, but I'm afraid that you won't buy them after touching them.”
Xia Mo didn't say anything, which was rare, because the two of them were originally competing to pick up the leftovers. No matter how good the things they spent a lot of money on were, it was useless. Moreover, in this situation, they would definitely be beaten up by this big-bellied shop owner.
"No need." At this moment, Su Tong stood up and pointed at something on the lowest floor." This is it."”
The few of them looked at the place where he was pointing. It was a wooden carving of Lao Zi that was 15 to 16 centimeters tall.
Laozi was sitting on a wooden pedestal with his left hand resting on his knees. He had a long beard and long sleeves. He had an elegant figure and three prominent lines of longevity on his forehead. He had a high nose and big eyes. His lips were slightly open and his eyes were like torches as he looked into the distance.
