In this way, Liu Ping'an accompanied Chen Xueru for a stroll on Liuli Street. The things sold on the street stalls really opened his eyes. It was the first time he had seen such things in his two lives. Wasn't it an eye-opener?
I have never been to Liulichang in my previous life.
Most of the stories about picking up treasures in the rebirth novels I read in my previous life also happened at the street stalls. Everyone only saw the story after the protagonist picked up the treasure, and they felt like they were experiencing a thrilling treasure hunt with the protagonist.
But how many people noticed the pain mask of the stall owner who lost his treasure? Imagine if you were the owner, would you be able to bear it?
In the antique business, everyone has their own unique identification secrets, some rely on touch, some rely on smell, and some rely on licking. It can be said that there are thousands of strange and bizarre ways, and a mouthful of water can nurture thousands of people.
As a practitioner, Liu Ping'an naturally has his own unique secret to identification, which is - mental power. Although I dare not say that it is always accurate.
But if you use your mental power to scan the inside and outside of this object, there will be no secrets hidden in your eyes. You can eliminate the old, spliced, and repaired ones with just a scan.
I believe that as long as I learn a little bit of knowledge in this field, I can become a master-level treasure appraiser.
Along the way, he found a lot of treasures. There were also many things with a cold and dead aura, obviously just out of the soil, but unfortunately there were no magic tools or magic treasures. This made Liu Pingan never take them, because he was really not interested in the antique business. In addition, antiques at this time were not worth much. If they wanted to invest and appreciate in value, they would have to wait until after the first year of currency in 93.
Chen Xueru was curious about the things she saw along the way, and she asked the owners of these stalls about prices. However, when she heard the prices quoted by the owners, she put the items in her hand back, pulled Liu Pingan and turned away, obviously having a clear understanding of her own level.
At first, I would be scared by the prices of these antiques and would turn away. Later, I don’t know if it was because I became thick-skinned or I got used to it, but when I saw something I liked, I would squat down and negotiate the price with the owners.
But the bargaining knife is not very sharp, just imitating the way customers bargain with me in my store. It is not like Zha Zha Hui's 40-meter dragon-slaying sword, if you are a brother, come and chop me.
At this moment, I came across a small jade pendant that I liked. I was reluctant to put it down and was pulling it back and forth with the carpet owner.
Liu Pingan naturally saw it, and took a glance at the jade pendant. Both the quality and the carving were good. Looking at Chen Xueru who was still arguing with the boss over a few dollars, Liu Pingan directly took out his Dragon Slaying Sword and carefully observed the boss's micro-expressions. He performed a textbook bargaining for his future wife.
The boss asked for 100 yuan, but Liu Pingan finally bought it for 35 yuan, which made Chen Xueru, who was holding the jade pendant tightly, stunned. It must be that Chen Xueru really liked this item, otherwise the price could be even lower. Finally, Liu Pingan took out his trump card and said to Chen Xueru: "Wife, if you like it, let's go to Rongbaozhai in front and pick whatever you like." Only then did he bargain it down to 35 yuan.
For these bosses, as long as the selling price is higher than their purchase price, they can make a profit. They are essentially businessmen, who trade goods left and right, buy low and sell high, and make a profit from the difference.
After buying the jade pendant, the two of them headed towards the largest brand in Liulichang, "Rong Bao Zhai". Liu Ping'an couldn't wait to broaden his horizons.
When they arrived at the door of Rongbaozhai, they heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside before they even walked in.
"You are open for business, why don't you take my stuff? I tell you, this thing in my hand is worth at least 100, you have to take it today whether you want to or not."
As soon as the two of them walked into Rongbaozhai, they heard this rather shameless voice coming from the counter.
The shopkeeper was not afraid at all and responded loudly: "We at Rongbaozhai are buying this piece of amber for 20 yuan. If you really want to sell it, I will issue you an invoice now."
"Once we leave this door, we're all clear. If you want to go left, go left. If you want to go right, go right. I have no right to control you."
"But don't blame me for being rude if you keep making trouble like this. There is a police station not far from Liulichang." As he said this, he picked up the phone on the corner of the table. If this rascal continued to make trouble, he would have to call someone.
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, the buyer suddenly quieted down and said unwillingly: "This piece of amber in my hand is a good thing. As long as it is put in the wine, it can improve the quality of the wine and make it more mellow."
As he was talking, he took out the piece of amber in his hand, which was the size of a child's fist. It was golden yellow in color, not the common transparent color. The shadow of a worm could be seen faintly inside, but it was too blurry to see what was inside clearly.
When this piece of amber appeared in front of Liu Ping'an, his eyebrows were beating wildly. The dream space and the world tree both showed their desire for this thing.
Liu Pingan knew that today was his chance. No matter what, no matter how much it cost, he had to get this so-called "amber".
Hearing what the visitor said, the shopkeeper of Rongbaozhai also became interested and asked, "I wonder how this piece of amber can improve the quality of wine? How much wine can it improve at a time? How long will it take?"
Three questions in a row, hitting the nail on the head, left the visitor speechless. He weakly extended the index finger of his other hand and whispered, "A pot of wine, one night."
After saying this, he quickly added: "But the longer this stuff is placed in the wine, the better the quality. If you don't believe me, I can give you an experiment right here. When my father was alive, he loved drinking wine soaked with this amber. He was in his forties when I was born, and he lived to be over 70. He was usually in good health, without any illness or disaster, all thanks to this wine."
The boss snorted coldly and said, "When your father was alive, this treasure was bought from my father. I was there at the time. Who are you trying to fool with all these lies?"
"It was about the same price I just quoted. If you don't want to sell it, the door is right there. Goodbye."
Hearing this, the visitor smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and looked around to ease the awkward atmosphere.
