When they arrived at the classroom, the students had arrived quite early. Although the weather was relatively cold, it could not resist the enthusiasm of the students.

A few minutes later.

The teacher came in and picked a few students from the front row to follow him to the office to get the test papers.

The moment the teacher left, there was a commotion downstairs. Some of them were asking what they were going to do during the holidays. Some of them invited their classmates to play at home, while others kept silent and stared at the door to see if the teacher had arrived. They probably wanted to know the results of the exam.

After a while.

One of the students who had gone out to get the test papers had already arrived in the classroom. He placed the test papers on the lecture table and returned to his seat. The students who had taken the test papers behind him also walked in one after another. They put the test papers away and waited for the teacher to start handing out the test papers.

"Cough cough!"

The discussions below slowly died down.

The teacher began to read out the names in front of the lecture table. Some of the students who received the test papers were happy, while others were dejected. Chen Jianbin deliberately made a few mistakes this time and got seventh place in all the tests.

After that, the teacher assigned homework for the holidays and let the students go back.

When he got home, Chen Carson quickly ran to the fire to warm himself. It was still relatively cold outside.

After resting for a while, Chen Jianbin lay on the bed to sleep because he planned to go to Pigeon City to take a look tonight.

At midnight.

Carson got up and put on his clothes. He put on a hat and covered himself tightly. Then, he climbed over the wall in the backyard.

Arriving at Pigeon City.

At this time, there were all kinds of people walking around. The weather was cold, and there were more people selling things because everyone wanted to spend the winter.

Chen Carson walked and looked. Suddenly, an old man's stall seemed to be selling sundries. There were some pottery jars and some bowls. Chen Carson walked over and squatted down. As he looked, he used his identification skill and realized that they were all things from the past two years.

Chen Jianbin stood up and was about to leave when his eyes glanced at a cigarette stick beside the old man. The information of this cigarette stick appeared in his eyes. During the Qing Dynasty, Xiuyan Jade Smoke Rod was made by Yao Zongren.

During the Qing Dynasty, it was Xiuyan jade. It might not be valuable in this era, but it would be worth a lot of money in a few decades.

"Old man, are you selling this pipe?"

Chen Jianbin pretended to ask casually and did not show any strong desire.

When the old man heard this, he quickly nodded and said indifferently,"Of course I'm selling, but I don't want money. Do you have food stamps?”

In Pigeon City, according to the needs of the seller and the buyer, one could buy it with money, food stamps, or other tickets, or both.

"Yes!"

"Old man, why don't you name a price?"

When the old man heard that Lin Nan had food stamps, his eyes lit up slightly." It's fine if you have food stamps.”

In this era where material resources were scarce, everyone had a fixed amount of food stamps. Only when the old man's food stamps were used up would he urgently need to exchange for food stamps.

Then, the old man stretched out five fingers and said solemnly,"Little brother, five catties of food stamps. I won't cheat you. This pipe isn't broken yet.”

He said this.

Chen Carson knew that the old man in front of him was selling the cigarette stick as an ordinary one.

However, the price he offered was very high. He probably wanted to scam Chen Jianbin because he was still a teenager.

In this day and age, a person's monthly ration ticket was only about 30 catties.

The old man asked for five catties of ration tickets.

Of course, Chen Jianbin was not happy. He said without blushing or jumping,"Old man, don't bully me because I'm too young. To be honest, this tobacco pipe is just a toy. You want me to pay five catties of food stamps to buy a tobacco pipe from you? I might as well pick a random bamboo and cut it.”

She turned around and left.

The old man was anxious. He was afraid that he would not be able to sell the rotten tobacco rod, so he hurriedly shouted,"Don't be in a hurry to leave! Is there anything to discuss? If you really want it, then give me four catties of food stamps!”

"Humph! I'll say it clearly, I don't want anything more than three catties!”Carson snorted coldly.

The old man frowned and hissed." Alright, three catties of ration tickets it is.”

"Give me the pipe." Carson reached out his hand, signaling the old man to pass him the pipe first.

The old man was not happy." Hand over the food tickets in one hand and the tobacco pipe in the other.”

Chen Jianbin sighed helplessly." Alright, alright, alright!”

Then, they exchanged.

The pipe felt very moist in his hand, but it was a little dirty on the outside. He walked to the side and put it away in the warehouse when no one was paying attention. It was worth it to exchange it today.

Chen Jianbin began to look at the other stalls again. Along the way, he used his identification skill. Most of the things were from the past few years. Although they were sold very cheaply, they had no value at all.

He looked around again and felt that there was nothing else. Chen Carson was about to go back when a middle-aged man in his thirties walked over.

"Do you want this?"

As she spoke, she looked around and lifted a corner of her clothes for him to see, afraid that someone would notice.

Chen Jianbin saw that it was a pink vase, but the next second, the vase's information appeared: Qianlong years, pink flower red bat pattern elephant ear vase, made in the palace.

"Just one bottle. How much do you want?" she asked, pretending to be unconcerned.”

The man walked around and asked a few people, but none of them gave him a satisfactory price. Some of them left without even taking a look.

Nowadays, not many people had the leisure to admire antiques.

When he heard Chen Jianbin ask for the price, the man immediately said,"This is a famille rose. Look at its shape. It looks so good when you buy it. I don't want much. Just give me 30 catties of rice.”

He had asked around just now, and everyone was only willing to give him five to ten catties of rice.

She stared at He Chenjianbin's expression, afraid that he would say a price that she couldn't accept.

Seeing Chen Carson's troubled expression, he anxiously said,

"The lowest price is 25 catties. These were all passed down from their ancestors. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to sell them when they were waiting for the rice to be cooked.”

Chen Jianbin did not make things difficult for him. He replied readily,"Alright, I'll take it. This bottle looks quite festive to me.”

"I can only give you money and tickets now. You can buy them yourself. I don't think it's easy for you.”

The man immediately became happy. He carefully took the money and tickets from Chen Carson and carefully put them in his arms.

The man saw that he gave it to her so readily and asked tentatively,"I still have something in my hand. Do you still want it? They were all left behind by our ancestors!"

"I have to take a look first. What do you have?”

The man thought so too, so he said,"I'll bring you a few more next time, okay?"”

Carson thought about it and agreed.

He wasn't afraid that the other party would try to trick him. Now that Chen Jianbin's physical fitness was much better than before, coupled with the fact that he practiced fighting skills from time to time, not only did his strength increase, but his reflexes were also sharper. Ordinary three to five people definitely wouldn't be able to get close to him.

The two of them agreed to meet here again next week.

………

When he arrived at Li Jianguo's stall, he saw that there was already a queue. He thought that he would be able to sell a pig tonight.

He watched from the side for a while.

Chen Jianbin took the elephant ear vase wrapped in cloth and left.

After returning home, Chen Carson carefully looked at the elephant ear vase in front of him. It was really beautiful and the colors were gorgeous. It was 27.8 centimeters tall and its shape was very elegant and unique. There were even gold-painted pictographic ears on the left and right sides.

After watching for a while, Chen Carson tightened it in the warehouse and took out the pipe to take a look. Although this thing was a little black, it felt very good to hold.

After playing with it for a while, Carson lay on the bed and went to sleep.
