âHow about seven thousand yuan?â
Li Muyao actually wanted to haggle for half the price, but after thinking about the uniqueness of this place, she decided to be conservative.
Bargaining was about giving and taking!
If I donât chop it, you wonât return it. What fun is there?
âMiss, your price is a little harsh. Add more. Otherwise, if I sell it at this price, my peers will come and scold me!âThe boss even returned it with a smile.
â7,500. I canât go any higher. After all, these are all modern copper coins.âLi Muyao looked at each coin carefully. After looking at it, Li Muyao was a little suspicious. Did the master and disciple know that Li Muyao and Cai Mao were following them?
So, he deliberately came here to buy copper coins and scam Li Muyao and Cai Mao, who didnât know anything about this?
âMiss, Iâll take 8,000 yuan from you since youâre so beautiful. Iâll give you all 21 copper coins.âTo be able to set up a stall here, there was no need to worry about selling things.
Of course, if he could sell them all at once, the stall owner would be happy to leave as soon as possible.
This copper coin was not fake. It was just that it was a little recent. It was not valuable, but if it was collected for a few decades or a hundred years, it would become an antique.
The stall owner couldnât say such words, or he would be beaten up.
âAlright, then why donât you give me these little beads as a gift?âLi Muyao had never bought anything from this kind of stall before, but she had heard that one could ask the boss for a small sum of money if they bought something from this stall. As long as the price was not more than 100 yuan, they could always get a few small sums.
The small wooden box that the stall owner wanted to give was originally meant to contain copper coins, so Li Muyao specially looked around. There was also a glass bottle that contained a few beads. It looked dirty and she couldnât tell what material it was made of, but Li Muyao just felt that it looked a little nice.
âThatâs right, boss. We bought so many useless copper coins at once and gave a
few dirty beads to my sister Yao. Itâs no big deal.
Boss, please.
How about this? My Sister Yao is so beautiful. Iâll let my Sister Yao take a photo of you and give these pearls to her. Is that okay?
Let me tell you, when people ask my Sister Yao to take photos, they have to pay. I wonât charge you for taking a photo with me.â Cai Mao didnât think there was anything good about those pearls.
However, since Sister Yao liked it, he had to ask for it.
The stall owner was convinced by Cai Mao. Indeed, todayâs Li Muyao was wearing traditional Chinese clothing and exquisite antique makeup. She really looked like an ancient beauty from television.
Everyone was vain.
The stall owner agreed after being instigated by Cai Mao.
The stall owner took out the latest model of the iPhone and brought out the camera function. âLittle brother, help me take a good photo. This is the first time Iâve taken a photo with a beautiful customer. âHe was a little excited when he reminded her.
It was like a celebrity taking photos.
After taking a few pictures, he kept the two best ones.
Twenty-one modern copper coins, a wooden box, and five dirty beads cost 8,000 yuan.
âSister Yao, why are they looking at us? Should we continue to follow? There were still 2,000 yuan left!
âSister Yao, I think we shouldnât follow them. Just buy whatever you want. Buy whatever you like and go back. Anyway, I donât think they can pick up anything.âââ
He couldnât tell if they were good or bad.
Cai Mao felt that it would be better to let Li Muyao buy a few of them.
It was better to rely purely on luck.
As long as it was pleasing to the eye and did not exceed 2,000 yuan, he would buy it.
âLetâs follow her again. Manager Cai said that this might be the last time she participated in such an event. She probably wonât come to the old town again in the future.
I hope I can help Manager Cai.
Originally, she brought us here so that I could help her win back her face. We canât give up halfway.âLi Muyao felt that even if she and Cai Mao didnât know anything about antiques, they would still be able to follow this master and disciple pair and see what they would buy.
Li Muyao and the others would buy whatever they wanted. Even if they couldnât pick up anything, at least it wouldnât be too far off.
Cai Mao couldnât win against Li Muyao and could only continue to follow.
In the end, Li Muyao and Cai Mao were scammed by the master and disciple again. They went back and forth to the main street of antiques three times before they spent the remaining 2,000 yuan on a tobacco pipe and a black piece as a match.
When he returned to the teahouse, there was already a big table in the teahouse. Three old men were sitting at the table.
When Li Muyao, Cai Mao, and the master and disciple handed the items to them, Cai Sixiu introduced them, âââThese three are all old masters in the antique world. The items you buy will be appraised by them.
The results of their appraisal will never be wrong, and we will never doubt their appraisal.â
The three old masters could be considered old acquaintances with Cai Sixiu and the others. Every year, they would have such a competition. The three old masters would be invited to help for a day at a high price.
Therefore, there would be no cheating.
After the introduction, Cai Sixiu comforted the nervous Li Muyao and Cai Mao,ââYou donât have to be nervous. I see that you and Dong Xiaoyunâs people are buying the same things, so the price shouldnât be too different. At that time, even if I lose, I wonât lose too badly. Thereâs no need to worry.â
âAunt, youâre wrong. We have a lot more things than them. See, we have a few more pearls, small boxes, and black blocks than them. Weâve already won them in terms of quantity, so we canât say anything discouraged.âCai Mao was nervous, but he always thought that Li Muyao could win with his aunt.
When his aunt said that he wouldnât lose too badly, Cai Mao became a little anxious.
In his anxiety, he observed and found that his side indeed had more people than them.
There were twelve more copper coins.
There were also five more beads.
There was also a wooden box.
One black piece
The last pipe.
It was true that Cai Maoâs side had the advantage in terms of quantity.
However, when the old master picked out an old copper coin from Dong Xiaoyunâs side and estimated it to be 120,000 yuan, Cai Mao⦠He became even more nervous.
Picking one out of ten copper coins worth 5000 yuan, 120,000 yuan worth of ancient copper coins, this was already considered a profit.
There was also the tobacco pipe that the master and disciple had spent 5000 yuan to buy. It was also worth about 370,000 yuan. It was used by a high-ranking official in ancient times, and there was a high-ranking officialâs name on it.
Dong Xiaoyunâs items had been appraised and were valued at about 500,000 yuan.
âCai Sixiu, now you admit that youâre inferior to me, right? I thought you invited some amazing and powerful foreign aid, but in the end, it was two little brats who knew nothing.
I hired two professional antique experts to get 500,000 yuan from 10,000 yuan.
I donât think thereâs any hope on your side. Why donât you stop wasting time and say that youâre inferior to me in front of everyone!âDong Xiaoyunâs arrogant attitude made Cai Sixiu want to rush up and tear her hypocritical face apart.
Cai Sixiu hadnât even opened her mouth to speak when Cai Mao couldnât help but say,ââNo, itâs just a mere 500,000 yuan. Why canât it surpass you?
My aunt is prettier than you, younger than you, and more successful than you. How is she inferior to you?
Let me tell you, itâs impossible!
âMy aunt will definitely win today. Masters, hurry up and help us appraise it. I donât believe that my Sister Yao can win against you all personally.â People.â
Cai Mao asked the three masters to help them appraise it, but the result was a little disappointing. It was bought for 21 copper coins for 8000 yuan, so it was only worth 8000 yuan. The pipe was also worth 2000 yuan, so it couldnât be higher.
Cai Mao was a little dejected and still refused to believe it,ââLook at these beads, look at this small wooden box, and look at this black block!â
This was their last chance to turn the tables!
Li Muyao also stood up and pointed at the five pearls.âââThree old masters, help me carefully appraise these five beads.. They seem to be very extraordinaryâ¦ltâs a little likeâ¦â
