Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You
Chapter 14: The family's ancestral antiques and jades have to be sold off urgently due to the f
"Brother, so you want to eat wontons? Then let's go and eat wontons!"
Zhang Hanyan grabbed Qi Ling's sleeve and pulled him through the bustling crowd to sit at a table next to the wonton stall.
"Boss, two bowls of wontons!"
The boss looked up at the two of them, and seeing that they were two little kids, he subconsciously thought that they had no money and didn't want to cook for them.
But when he looked at the shining silk clothes the two were wearing, he felt that they did not look like they were poor.
Zhang Hanyan waited for a long time but didn't hear any response from the boss.
She turned around in confusion and said, "Boss, didn't you hear me just now? I said we want two bowls of wontons, hurry up, the boy is hungry."
"Where are the adults in your family? What if you eat the wontons but don't have money to pay? Wouldn't I have wasted two bowls of wontons in vain?"
Zhang Qiling frowned slightly. He looked at his boss with a pair of slanted eyes and felt displeased.
"So this is what the boss is worried about?" Zhang Hanyan said as she took out a small lake green embroidered bag from her sleeve, took out two dollars and put it on the table.
"Did you see it? We have money, two bowls of wontons, please hurry up, thank you!"
When the boss saw that they really had money, he immediately put on a smile, quickly cooked two bowls of wontons for them and placed them in front of them.
"Two bowls of wontons cost three cents, hehe..."
Zhang Hanyan picked up a one-dollar bill and handed it to him. The boss turned around and rummaged through the money box for a long time before finding seven cents to give her in change.
It’s not that he was slowing down on purpose, but the wontons he sold today totaled less than 70 cents.
In this day and age, not many people can afford to eat wontons, and those who are rich will not patronize his stall.
Zhang Hanyan collected the money, picked up the spoon and stirred the bowl gently, pouting her lips and blowing air, hoping to cool down the steaming wontons in the bowl as soon as possible.
When the bowl in front of her was almost cold, she naturally dragged the bowl in front of Zhang Qiling and pushed her own bowl in front of him.
"Eat quickly, little brother. It's not hot anymore."
Zhang Qiling looked down at the wontons in front of him. He reached out and touched the porcelain bowl. The temperature was neither cold nor hot, just right.
He looked up at her who was still blowing wontons with her mouth puffed out, and pushed the bowl in front of him towards her.
"you eat first."
Zhang Hanyan stopped and looked at him. "No, you eat first. Aren't you hungry? Eat quickly, and then we'll go shopping."
She pushed the porcelain bowl back in front of him and continued to blow the wontons in front of her with her head down.
The boss, who was almost going moldy from being idle, took in everything they did. He smiled slightly and continued to stare at them with interest.
These two kids are so interesting, brother and sister? They don’t even look alike! Hmm… Could they be arranged as children?
The boss looked at it for a while and came to a conclusion. Well, it looks like a child marriage is inevitable!
Zhang Qiling finished the last wonton, put down the spoon, turned around and looked coldly at the boss who had been staring at them.
The boss was stunned by his cold eyes and quickly looked away, not daring to look at him again.
Zhang Hanyan looked up at his empty bowl and said, "Have you finished? Brother, do you want to eat more?"
Zhang Qiling put away the cold light in his eyes and replied softly, "I won't eat it anymore."
"Well, I'm done eating too, let's go."
She pushed the bowl in the middle of the table, stood up and walked forward.
The figures of the two were soon drowned in the crowd. The boss who was cleaning up the dishes recalled the look Zhang Qiling had just given him and couldn't help but shudder.
It's strange. He was just a little kid looking at me, why did I feel inexplicably fearful?
The boss washed the dishes with full of doubts and continued to attract customers to eat wontons.
Strangely enough, ever since Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling left the wonton stall, there has been a constant stream of people coming to eat wontons, and the boss has been so busy that he has hardly any time to rest.
That day was the boss’s best business day in his short career selling wontons.
As a result, when he was old and recalled the past, what he talked about most was the day he met Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling.
He always said that he met the golden boy and jade girl from Guanyin Bodhisattva who came to eat his wontons, and that his business became so prosperous after they left.
He said that if he had known their identities, he should not have taken their money.
If I don't charge money, maybe the good business can continue forever instead of just half a day.
From then on, the boss waited for Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling to come and eat his wontons almost every day.
But he waited until the wonton stall closed down, but never saw the two of them.
After leaving the wonton stall, Zhang Hanyan kept in mind the new task issued by the system. Her eyes kept wandering around the stalls, trying to find something to give to Zhang Qiling as a gift.
"Antique jade! These are ancient jade heirlooms from my family. My family has fallen into poverty, so I'm selling them off urgently! Come and take a look, take a look!"
Zhang Hanyan's attention was attracted by a voice that echoed through the crowd. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in a navy blue gown holding a small bronze tripod and shouting loudly.
"Brother, I want to go and take a look."
Zhang Qiling looked at the man who kept shouting and nodded slightly, "Yeah."
Zhang Hanyan squeezed through the crowd and squatted in front of the stall, looking at the various antiques casually placed on a piece of blue hemp cloth.
She picked up a jade ring that looked fake and asked, "Boss, how much do you sell these for?"
The boss raised his hand, gently pushed up his glasses that had slipped down, and put on a bright smile.
This smile made Zhang Hanyan inexplicably feel that she was about to be made a fool.
"They are all sold at a low price. What do you like, little girl? I will tell you about its origin and specific price. There is still room for appreciation."
Zhang Qiling stood beside her and lowered his head to glance over the things.
fake!
[Host, this system has a treasure identification function. I can help you find the only real treasure from this pile of junk.]
What you mean is, among this huge pile of things, only one is real?
[Yes, host, do you want to enable the treasure identification function? It's very cheap, only ten points are needed. ]
Haha, I was wondering why you were so kind all of a sudden, turns out you want me to spend money!
[Hehe...Host, don't be so stingy. Only if you spend money can I accumulate points to upgrade.]
Zhang Hanyan rolled her eyes, looked at the messy things on the stalls, and sighed resignedly.
It's just ten points, I'll spend it! Find the real thing for me!
[Okay, the host voluntarily enables the treasure identification function. Ten points will be deducted. I am identifying it for you. Please wait... I found it! It is the round jade pendant under the bronze tripod on the right hand side of the host. ]
