I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

Su Xing drank tea at Shen Bai's booth for about twenty minutes.

Then she put down the teacup and said to Shen Bai, "Mr. Shen, please be busy first. I'll go shopping for a while."

"Okay." Shen Bai responded with a smile, and then asked, "Would you like to have lunch together later?"

Su Xing nodded, "Okay."

When she went out, she happened to meet Gu Yi coming over.

"Miss Su..."

Su Xing didn't wait for Gu Yi to finish his words and said, "Mr. Shen is inside. Mr. Gu, please go in. Goodbye."

After saying that, she left quickly.

Gu Yi: “…”

He sighed, went in to find Shen Bai, and saw Shen Bai cleaning the tea table.

Shen Bai glanced at Gu Yi indifferently and ignored him.

Gu Yi sat in the seat where Su Xing had just sat, picked up the teacup that Su Xing had used, and played with it casually.

Shen Bai suddenly reached out, took the teacup from Gu Yi's hand, and began to wash it.

"Hey? Old Shen, why are you always so aggressive with me?"

Shen Bai glanced at him, "What are you doing here again? Is there something wrong?"

"Is there nothing I can do to find you?"

Shen Bai wanted to roll his eyes, but it seemed inelegant, so he gave up.

Gu Yi smiled and said, "It will be noon soon. I'll come and have lunch with you."

Shen Bai sneered, "Heh..."

……

Su Xing strolled around the boutique booths and finally went to the street stalls.

She feels that she can experience the fun of Taobao better at street stalls.

As she was walking around, she came across a stall selling calligraphy and paintings.

The stall owner unfolded the two paintings for display, attracting collectors to stop and observe. There were also several rolled-up scrolls placed nearby.

Su Xing bent down and looked at the two paintings carefully. The painting skills were good, but they felt like imitations of ancient paintings.

Her eyes fell on the unopened scrolls on the side. One of them was tangled and wrapped in cloth.

Su Xing squatted down and touched the scrolls.

When she touched the tightly wrapped scroll, the strange feeling in her heart came back.

She asked the stall owner: "Boss, are these scrolls easy to open?"

The stall owner glanced at Su Xing and nodded, "Okay, I'll open it for you to have a look."

He hadn't sold anything in the past two days, and even though this little girl didn't look like someone who would buy antiques, he didn't want to miss this potential customer.

What if it really opens?

The stall owner opened two scrolls and showed them to Su Xing.

Su Xing took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully.

Finally, she pointed to the tightly wrapped scroll and asked, "Boss, can this be opened?"

The stall owner hesitated, "This painting is badly damaged... Never mind, I'll open it and show it to you."

Although it is a bit difficult to open and then wrap this tattered painting, it is impossible for anyone to buy it without seeing what is painted inside.

The stall owner carefully untied the string and cloth wrapped around the scroll and slowly unfolded it.

When Su Xing took a look, he saw that it was a landscape painting. It was indeed badly damaged, with many stains on it. Many parts were blurred, and there were wormholes and broken places. When it was opened, some places were falling off.

The stall owner smiled awkwardly and pieced it together manually, "Don't look at this painting because it's torn, but it's definitely an ancient painting, the work of a court painter."

Su Xing held up a magnifying glass and began to observe the painting carefully.

She looked at the signature for a long time, vaguely it seemed to be the work of Dai Jin?

Although Dai Jin is not as famous as the top ten painters in ancient my country, he was also somewhat renowned in the Ming Dynasty and was a court painter during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty.

But she's still not sure if the painting is really authentic.

She reached out and carefully touched the screen, and that feeling came back...

Su Xing looked up and asked the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this painting?"

When the stall owner heard Su Xing asking the price, he was delighted and said, "One hundred and twenty thousand."

Su Xing smiled at the stall owner and said, "Boss, your price is too high. Give me a more affordable price."

When the stall owner heard that there was something interesting going on, he quickly said, "This is really an ancient painting, a good thing. Little girl, if you really want it, I will treat it as a friendship with you. You can take the painting for 180,000 yuan."

"Boss, I really want it, but you're not sincere about selling it to me." Su Xing put away the magnifying glass, stood up, and pretended to leave.

"Hey!" The stall owner hurriedly called her, "Don't be anxious, here's how you bargain for me."

Su Xing said, "Twenty thousand."

"Oh my." Upon hearing this, the stall owner's face immediately wrinkled into a bitter gourd, "Your bargaining price is too high, how can it be like this..."

Su Xing said, "Boss, I'm not bargaining hard, but look at how damaged this painting is. It's hard to say whether it can be repaired. If it can't be repaired, all the money I spent will be wasted. And even if it can be repaired, it's hard to say whether this painting is authentic. I have to find a few treasure appraisers to check it out after I buy it back, and the appraisal fee is not a small amount."

The stall owner was quite surprised. He didn't expect that this pretty girl had a talent for bargaining!

The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he said, "...but 20,000 is too little. I paid more than 20,000 for this painting. I can't make a profit at a loss, right? Little girl, add a little more."

In fact, he only spent three thousand yuan to buy this painting, but people in their line of work all use similar sales tactics, and everyone wants to make more money.

After all, it is normal to sell one item every one or two months, and they have to make a living.

Su Xing also understood that this was the boss's rhetoric, but she would not dwell on the price the boss paid for the painting. She only considered whether the price she bought was within her psychological expectations.

She thought about it and said, "Then how about I add another 6,000, 26,000?"

The stall owner said, "It's too little, maybe 50,000."

"Thirty thousand."

"Forty-six thousand. Take it."

"Thirty-two thousand is already a lot, boss."

"Forty thousand, is forty thousand okay?"

"Thirty-six thousand, this is all I can add. If you feel you're losing money, just wait for the right person."

"Okay, I'll give you 36,000. I really admire you, little girl. You're really good at bargaining."

Su Xing asked with a smile: "Boss, how can I pay you?"

The stall owner took out his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Use Alipay to transfer the money to me. This thing is very convenient nowadays."

Nowadays, many people in this business have started to use Alipay for transactions. Transactions within 200,000 yuan can be completed very quickly, which is much more convenient and faster than previous cash transactions, check transactions or bank transfers.

"Row."

Su Xing transferred thirty-six thousand yuan to the stall owner.

"Little girl, do you want to wrap this painting yourself, or do you want me to do it for you?"

"Thank you, I'll do it myself."

Su Xing carefully began to roll up the scroll. After rolling it up, he also followed the stall owner's method and wrapped the scroll layer by layer.

After saying goodbye to the stall owner, she walked towards the Zhenbaozhai booth holding the painting.

It was already noon, and she had made an appointment with Shen Bai to have lunch together.
