Liu Guangqi took a look at the stall in front of Bai Mei. This stall sold some Buddha statues, wooden sculptures and other things. There were dozens of similar gadgets, large and small, on a small linoleum cloth. Looking at so many things, Liu Guangqi couldn't help but sweat for the stall owner. If the police came and carried so many things, it would be difficult for the stall owner to run away.
Then Liu Guangqi took a quick look at the items on the stalls in the weak light in the alley. There was no old stuff on the stalls. They were basically from the Republic of China, but fortunately they were all handmade and looked pretty good.
Then Liu Guangqi looked at the cup pointed by Bai Hui. At this glance, Liu Guangqi could tell that something was wrong. This thing did not seem to be a wooden sculpture or a bronze statue. Moreover, the carvings and decorations are also different from those around them.
In order to see the thing clearly, Liu Guangqi squatted down and took it over. As soon as he took it, Liu Guangqi felt something was wrong. The feel and weight felt the same as the rhino horn he had seen in Baicao Hall. I picked up a flashlight and took a look at it, and I was immediately shocked that this thing is really made of rhinoceros horn. Not only that, the workmanship of this rhinoceros horn cup is also quite amazing. It is full of workmanship, smooth lines, exquisite and beautiful shape, and each cut is beautiful. All are full of power. Holding the entire cup in your hand and looking at it from a distance, it exudes an aura of royal wealth.
As soon as the flashlight was placed on the cup, the originally dark rhinoceros horn cup immediately revealed an intoxicating reddish-brown color. Rhino horns are also divided into grades. According to the distribution of rhinos around the world, rhino horns were divided into three categories by ancient people: wide horn, fire horn and water horn. The wide horn is actually the horn of the white rhino and black rhino in Africa, the fire horn is the horn of the Indian rhino, and the corresponding water horn is the horn of the Brahmin rhino and the Javan rhino.
The reason for this classification is based on the medicinal ingredients. The medicinal ingredients of African rhinos are generally low, so they are classified into one kind.
Although Asian rhinos are all very tall, they are also different, so they are subdivided into two categories.
Brahman rhinoceros and Javan rhinoceros like to swim in water and are afraid of being exposed to water for longer than Indian rhino. Therefore, the medicinal value of water rhinoceros horn is 2-3 times that of fire rhino horn. Water rhinoceros horn has a pattern like sugar cane, and its cross section (section) has " Millet pattern", strong fragrance, small size. It is a precious raw material for Chinese patent medicines, such as Baijia's Babao and Lejia's Angong Bezoar, both of which are used.
Because of the different contents of medicinal ingredients, the colors of rhino horns are also different. The redder and brighter the color, the higher the ingredients. This can be seen from the color alone. The material of this rhino horn is definitely one of a kind.
Looking at the rhinoceros cup in his hand, Liu Guangqi glanced at Bai Mei beside him. This girl's eyes are so good, even in the dark winter, she can see it. This time Liu Guangqi was sure that Bai Hui was not fooled. Liu Guangqi didn't dare to say anything else, but Bai Hui had seen things like rhinoceros horns, not a hundred, but also eighty. One of the main ingredients of the eight treasures is rhinoceros horn, and the Bai family is most in need of this.
"It's quite beautiful. How much does it cost, boss?"
Although I don't understand that Bai Hui clearly saw the material of this thing, she still pointed out that she wanted this thing. After all, this thing is not cheap. It costs several hundred just based on the material. Doesn't it mean that it is being ripped off?
In fact, Liu Guangqi didn't know that it was Bai Hui who hadn't come out for a long time. She was so excited when she saw the good things that she forgot what Liu Guangqi taught her.
"Twenty, everything I have here has the same price, all are twenty."
The stall owner stared at Bai Hui's exposed white calves and replied dreamily.
"How many!?"
Liu Guangqi couldn't help shouting when he heard the price. He was ready to hear the story. He didn't expect that the other party would be so straightforward, and the price quoted was far lower than he expected. Not only him, but Bai Hui on the side also widened his eyes when he heard the price. Thinking that she heard it wrong, Yunzi didn't understand anything. She chewed a piece of gum in her mouth and looked at everything in front of her.
"Twenty, not a penny less, love or not."
Hearing the surprised cry, the boss thought that Liu Guangqi, a nobleman, had said something specifically.
"It's indeed a bit expensive. It's not made of copper. It's worth twenty. Cheaper."
Liu Guangqi looked at the rhinoceros horn cup in his hand again. After making sure that he had read it correctly, Liu Guangqi stood up
Ma understood that the guy in front of him was an ignorant person. So I started bargaining according to the boss's wishes.
"No, twenty is twenty as promised. Not even one point less."
The stall owner lit up a cigarette, brushed his greasy hair and said angrily.
"How can you buy and sell like this? A fixed price, and you won't even give it back."
Liu Guangqi looked at the stall owner's confused look and smiled.
"I'm not doing this in the first place. These are our old man's things. I don't understand. Anyway, if you sell them for twenty, you will never lose money."
Before Liu Guangqi could inquire, the other party revealed his details.
"You are really a real person, boss, okay, twenty is twenty, take it."
Liu Guangqi had seen a lot of old youtiao in Liulichang, and suddenly met such a cute newcomer. Liu Guangqi found it quite interesting. Since the other party didn't understand, Liu Guangqi didn't intend to bargain with him anymore, so he just took out 20 yuan and handed him 20 yuan. The other party was also very cheerful. He took out a newspaper and handed the things in a package to Liu Guangqi.
"You have good eyesight now. I didn't even see this thing, but you saw it at a glance."
After walking a certain distance with the things, Liu Guangqi squeezed Bai Hui's soft little hand and praised.
"Who told me that this girl is naturally beautiful? If she is beautiful, she will naturally have good luck."
Bai Hui stroked her long, silky hair and said proudly.
"Girl, how old are you? Haha."
"Are you looking for death? If you want to die, I will help you now."
When Liu Guangqi mentioned his age, Bai Hui's smile instantly froze on his face, and his big black eyes looked at Liu Guangqi with murderous intent.
Age is definitely the biggest taboo for sisters Bai Mei and Bai Hui. Among Liu Guangqi's many women, if He Ruiyun is not included as a non-staff member, Bai Hui and Bai Mei are definitely the first and second ones. Even Chen Xueru cannot compare with them. Bai Hui, who was born in 27, is now over 10 years old. She is twenty-eight, let alone Bai Mei, who has directly exceeded thirty, otherwise Bai Mei would not be so anxious to have a child, and she would become an older mother if she didn't.
"Ah ha ha ha, girl, you must be a girl. Look at how many little girls can compare with this skin. At first glance, I thought you were only eighteen, but then look at you, you look like a fairy Come down to earth."
After countless attempts to flatter him, Liu Guangqi quickly flattered Bai Hui. After hearing Liu Guangqi's compliments, Bai Hui knelt down and finally looked much better, and the murderous aura in his eyes gradually disappeared.
"what is this."
Although Yunzi didn't understand antiques, he could tell just by listening to the conversation between Liu Guangqi and Bai Hui that the thing Liu Guangqi just bought must be a treasure.
"Well, this is a cup made of rhinoceros horn. It's quite old, at least three to four hundred years old. It belongs to the late Ming Dynasty. It can probably be sold for two thousand yuan on the market."
"Really, oh, I want to pick it up too."
Yunzi was shocked at first, and then she pursed her lips. Watching Liu Guangqi and the others picking things up one by one, it made her feel very itchy.
"If you want to pick it up, just buy it. I'll give you a hundred yuan, so you can buy whatever you like."
Seeing Yunzi's eager eyes, Liu Guangqi satisfied Yunzi's small request of hiding with a wave of his hand.
"Really. You are so kind, Master."
Seeing how generous Liu Guangqi was, Yunzi threw herself directly into Liu Guangqi's arms. The delicate touch made Liu Guangqi's heart tremble.
"Okay, let's pick it up quickly and see if you have that luck."
Seeing that everyone around them was staring at them, Liu Guangqi patted Yunzi's butt gently, and secretly made a decision in his heart. It was time to harvest Yunzi's little cabbage. In the past few months in space, Yunzi Definitely old enough to eat.
"What to choose? How to choose? Please teach me."
Although Liu Guangqi promised himself, when it came time to choose something, looking at the dazzling pile of things in front of him, Yunzi found that he had no idea what he was doing.
I didn't know what to choose, so I could only hold Liu Guangqi's arm and act coquettishly.
"The main thing you need to know when picking something up is your eyesight. It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, just look at it. If you see something that you feel special about, then just buy it."
It was impossible for Yunzi to become a treasure appraiser in an instant. Liu Guangqi could only teach her the stupidest way, which was to rely on luck, commonly known as luck.
"Can it be done?"
Yunzi asked doubtfully, with clear stupidity in his eyes.
"No problem, go ahead, Pikachu."
Encouraged by Liu Guangqi, Yunzi finally plucked up the courage to search among a lot of stalls to find something that was related to him.
"Do you think the method you said is reliable?"
Bai Hui looked at Yunzi who was looking for something seriously and sighed.
"It's not reliable, but at least it can make her happy and less depressed, hahaha."
Liu Guangqi laughed and followed Bai Hui.
Maybe Yunzi was unlucky. She went to two alleys in succession but couldn't find anything that caught her eye. There were only two alleys in this ghost market. She could finish the shopping in one go and it was almost five o'clock. Yes, it's summer now, and it will be bright at five o'clock.
"Can you help me?"
After wandering around for more than an hour, Yunzi was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, and her cheeks were bulging like a hamster. Seeing that he was about to reach the end of the alley, Yunzi anxiously hugged Liu Guangqi's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Look again, maybe you'll meet him soon. It's boring for me to help you find it. Only when you find it yourself can you achieve success.
"
Liu Guangqi pinched Yunzi Roududu's cheek and comforted him. On such a hot day, except for Liu Guang, Bai Hui and Yun Zi, they had already taken off their masks. Anyway, they were not afraid of others recognizing them.
In fact, it’s not Yunzi’s fault for not being able to find good things. Liu Guangqi has read everything Yunzi has seen along the way. Basically, there are no good things. Most of them are things from the Qing Dynasty. Nowadays, there are no more things from the Qing Dynasty. Liu Guangqi became interested. Liu Guangqi's home had too many objects from the Qing Dynasty. Apart from spending money, buying these does not bring any sense of accomplishment to Liu Guangqi.
"Fine"
Hearing this, Yunzi had no choice but to pout his mouth and continue walking forward. While walking, Yunzi suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on a leather bag on the stall.
"What are you looking at? Just buy it and don't worry about spending money."
Liu Guangqi saw Yunzi stop and walked forward and asked. Liu Guangqi really didn't spend much money on Yunzi when he came to the space. Even Xu Huizhi, who came in later, spent more than she did. Today Liu Guangqi had to let Yunzi spend a lot of money.
Although Liu Guangqi said this, Yunzi seemed not to hear it. His eyes were full of memories and he stared at the leather bag on the stall. At this moment, Liu Guangqi felt a sense of sadness from Yunzi.
"What's wrong with you, Yunzi?"
Looking at Yunzi who was stunned, Liu Guangqi patted Yunzi gently.
"ah"
After being woken up, Yunzi groaned and looked at Liu Guangqi blankly.
"What's wrong with you? You suddenly froze there and didn't move. It scared me to death. I thought you were a ghost."
"Nothing, how much does this bag cost, boss?"
Yunzi shook his head, squatted in front of the stall and pointed at the stall owner, staring at the leather bag next to him and asked.
"Little girl, this leather bag of mine is for carrying things, not for selling. If you want to buy something, you can take a look at what I have on offer at this stall, including bronze mirrors from the Warring States Period and jade from the Qin and Han Dynasties. Whatever you want is available."
The stall owner was an old man in his fifties. When he looked at Yunzi, he felt like he saw his granddaughter saying with a smile. His eyes were clear and shining, unlike other people's eyes that almost became sticky when they saw Yunzi.
"No, I want it."
Yunzi pointed at the bag with a very firm attitude.
"Girl, it's not that I don't want to sell it. I really can't buy it. This leather bag of mine is used to carry things. If you buy it, I will use it to hold things later."

"That's right, Yunzi, you'd better change. There are still good things in the stalls of the old gentlemen around."
Liu Guangqi also kindly reminded him. That leather bag looks like a modern product, with a history of no more than twenty years at most. In the future, it may still be considered an old thing, but now it has no money at all.
"No, that's all I have. Just tell me how much it costs. If you don't have a bag, I'll ask my brother to find one for you."
Although Liu Guangqi reminded Yunzi, Yunzi didn't listen at all and was determined to buy this thing.
"You kid, haha"
Seeing Yunzi who was determined to buy his own handbag, the stall owner couldn't help but smile gracefully.
"Okay, since you want it so much, then you can give me twenty-five dollars."
After thinking about it for a moment, the old man casually quoted a price.
"Old man, you are too shady. You think my sister is ignorant and you plan to kill her. This bag of yours is not worth twenty-five, it is worth ten at best."
"Okay, twenty-five, twenty-five. Give me the money."
Before Liu Guangqi finished speaking, Yunzi agreed to the stall owner's conditions. Hearing Yunzi's cheerfulness, the three people present were stunned. Liu Guangqi and Bai Hui couldn't understand what Yunzi was thinking. The stall owner was thinking about why Yunzi wanted his bag. Could it be that there was some mystery in this bag? But this bag has been with him for seven or eight years. If there was a mystery, he would have seen it a long time ago. It is impossible to still find it now. I can't tell it anymore, and I said that a leather bag can have mysteries. After thinking about it, the stall owner looked at Liu Guangqi. He could tell at a glance that among the three, Liu Guangqi was the backbone.
"Okay, since you want it, let's buy it."
Seeing Yunzi's determination, Liu Guangqi was confused, but in order to smile, Liu Guangqi took out twenty-five yuan from his pocket and handed it over.
"Come on, take it."
Seeing the ticket handed over by Liu Guangqi, the old stall owner's face suddenly lit up with joy.
"Let's go"
After taking the bag, Yunzi stood up and walked out of the alley. Liu Guangqi originally planned to buy the Yuhan he saw, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. The old man was so shrewd, and it was probably impossible to take advantage of him if he felt through the things in his hands. Since you can't pick it up, there is no need to leave it here. Anyway, this thing is not unusual. You can buy it in cultural relics stores, and the channels are regular.
At this time, the Cultural Relics Protection Law had not yet been promulgated, and even bronzes could be traded at a discount, unlike later generations, which could not be bought and sold as long as they were older than the Song Dynasty.
"etc"
Seeing Yunzi getting up and leaving, Liu Guangqi followed him. But as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by the old stall owner.
"Why do you want to regret it?"
Hearing this voice, Yunzi immediately hugged the bag, and Liu Guangqi turned to look at the old stall owner.
"No, you haven't given me the bag you promised me yet. Hehe."
After hearing the old man's words, Liu Guangqi and the others suddenly felt that their foreheads were covered with black threads.
"You are really good at scheming. You have taken advantage of me and still want another bag from me. Just wait."
Liu Guangqi rolled his eyes at the old man, turned around, and ran to a dark corner. He found a cloth bag containing rice from the space and gave it to the old man.
After solving the old man's trouble, Liu Guangqi looked at his watch and found that the time had reached 4:50. There were only ten minutes left before the night market ended. Many stall owners had already begun to pack up and prepare to leave. In front of so many people, Liu Guangqi also The only way to get the two of them into the space was to follow the large army and walk outside.
