"Cai Cai, this Aolong fried rice is so delicious, please order it." Li Mo took a bite of the fried rice, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The rice grains were separated, mixed with the fresh fragrance of the lobster, and the taste was on point.
"Rice takes up a lot of space in your stomach. Just try a few bites at the end."
After a meal, the corners of the mouth were oily and the stomach was full. The two sat there and rested for a while before leaving with satisfaction.
"Hero, I was killed by you. What should I do? I will think of you when I am hungry in the future."
"Don't miss me, I'm just a legend."
"You treat me to a big dinner, and I'll try to be a good tour guide. Let's go, let's take you to Panjiayuan first."
Although it is noon time, there are still many people playing. Moreover, the scale of the stalls here is much larger than that of the City God's Temple. At a glance, Li Mo saw all kinds of old porcelain, old books, calligraphy and paintings, wood carvings, lacquerware, jade and ancient coins. Of course, it was almost impossible to find the authentic ones.
"My hero, just watch the excitement, and don't ask for the price casually. People here can take the bowls used by the eunuchs at home and make them look like the ones used by the eunuchs around the emperor, and they can quote the classics to explain it clearly."
"Quite knowledgeable."
"If you've never eaten pork, you've probably seen pigs running away."
The two of them walked around and picked up something interesting to play with.
"My hero, look at the unique shape of this wood carving."
Li Mo looked at it casually and said: "This is the image of Feitian in the Dunhuang murals. However, the carver's skills are poor. Although it is stylish, it is lackluster. Moreover, the wood is also the most common fir. The most ridiculous thing is that it was deliberately made. It’s old-fashioned and looks nondescript.”
"Oh." Cai Cai put down the wood carving, feeling bored.
The stall owner was already walking this way, and when he saw Cai Cai put down the wooden carving, a look of pity appeared on his face, as if he had lost an opportunity to make a lot of money.
"Boss, how much does this bottle cost?"
The fat man on Li Mo's left who had been thinking about porcelain waved to the boss. He was probably in his twenties, wearing a pair of Armani glasses and imported brand sportswear. He looked like a wealthy owner.
"Sir, you are really discerning. You caught your eye at the most valuable item in my stall." The boss immediately came over with a smile on his face, "This is the Yuan blue and white dragon-patterned jar I bought from an acquaintance. Look. The color is crystal clear. Look at the mighty and domineering dragon. It still has nine claws. In ancient times, only the emperor could use it. If you buy it back and place it there, it can suppress the feng shui of the house."
"Boss, I just want to know how much you can sell it for?"
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
"This jar is big. I'll prepare it for flower arrangements when I go back. Boss, don't deceive me. I'll take away the five hundred yuan." Fatty Armani is not stupid either.
"Five hundred is too little. I spent eight hundred on the cost. If you take one thousand away, I will make a fortune."
Li Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud. This boss was too funny. He offered a sky-high price of 150,000 yuan, but he could sell it for only 1,000 yuan, which was a lot of nonsense.
Armani thought for a moment and turned to look at Li Mo: "Little brother, how much do you think this is worth?"
"This blue and white Longwen pot is quite well made. According to the current cost, it costs about 500 yuan. If the boss resells it, it won't be much more than a thousand yuan. If I were to sell it, 700 yuan would be just right."
The fat man from Armani immediately said to the boss: "That's the price."
"My little brother is an expert. Today I will make an exception and make a profit by losing money."
Li Mo smiled and was about to leave. His eyes swept across the stall, and suddenly his eyes turned and landed on an object shaped like a rhinoceros horn cup.
"Boss, how much does that wood carving cost?"
Li Mo pointed to the rhinoceros horn cup in the corner.
The boss didn't like him. He had just ruined his bargaining. He was still angry, so he held back his anger and said, "One thousand yuan, no negotiation."
"make a deal."
Li Mo readily agreed. He took out his mobile phone and was about to transfer the money, but the boss was stunned and a little surprised. He looked at the gray rhinoceros horn cup and then looked at Li Mo, who seemed to be hesitating.
"My hero, why are you impulsive again? You spent 8,000 yuan to buy a set of history books, and now you have to spend 1,000 yuan to buy a piece of junk. You really have too much money."
Cai Cai rolled her eyes at the side, this heroic brother didn't take money seriously.
"Boss, do you want to sell it for 300 yuan?"
A look of realization appeared on the boss's face. It turned out that this was a young man who was not short of money. He immediately frowned and said: "Little girl, there are final rules in our industry. If everyone has to regret it, how can we do business?" "
"I'm really pissed off when this idiot meets a profiteer." Cai Cai glared at Li Mo angrily.
"Sir, I have packed the things you like."
The boss wrapped the rhino horn cup very neatly and stuffed it into Li Mo's arms, fearing that the business would be ruined if he was too late.
Two consecutive sales, a small profit, and the previous unhappiness has long since disappeared.
After Li Mo paid the payment, he put the rhinoceros horn cup into his backpack, smiled at Cai Cai and said, "How do you know my nickname is Er Lengzi?"
The three people at the scene almost fainted.
Li Mo hummed a little tune and continued shopping. A thousand dollars was nothing, that rhinoceros horn cup had a lot of history.
"There was something wrong with that rhinoceros horn cup just now." Fatty Armani seemed to have thought of something, picked up the blue and white vase and chased after him, "Little brother, wait a minute."
"Dude, what's wrong?"
"I'd like to ask, isn't that a wood carving just now?" Fatty Armani whispered, "I feel a bit like a rhinoceros horn horseshoe cup."
Li Mo turned to look at him. This man had good eyesight and could actually tell the difference. No wonder the blue and white vase worth 150,000 yuan was directly reduced to 500. Most people didn't even have the courage to bargain.
Fatty Armani's eyes suddenly brightened: "Little brother, can you let me hold your eyes?"
"Come with us?"
"I can't speak to my peers. My grandfather likes to collect old objects. He knows a lot about it after seeing it too much. Brother, you must be a master when you bought it without hesitation just now. If it is a good thing, I can buy it at a high price."
"Do you want to collect them? The appreciation potential of such antiques and miscellaneous items is not high, not as good as those of porcelain calligraphy and paintings, but the investment value preservation is not bad."
"To be honest, my family runs a small auction house. As long as it is genuine and good, I will never say anything back."
Li Mo was dubious.
"Little brother, don't you believe it?" Armani immediately took out a business card from his arms and said enthusiastically, "My surname is Niu."
Li Mo took it and took a look, dear, the business card is inlaid with gold. There is only a gilt name Niu Yingjun and a series of numbers on the front, and 'Kyoto New Century Auction House' on the back.
This somewhat narcissistic name is really cool.
"Mr. Niu, I'm mainly here to visit Panjiayuan today. I won't consider other things. But if I need it in the future, I will definitely contact you."
"It just so happens that I'm here for a casual walk today, why don't I accompany my little brother."
"Fat man, we are not familiar with you, so we don't need your company. If you have nothing to do, you can play by yourself, and don't stick to us."
Cai Cai's temper is back again.
"Sorry, Mr. Niu, this girl has a bad temper."
"Hero, who do you think is smelly?"
"Hey, kids are all the same, so I won't bother you anymore. Little brother, if you want to take action, remember to contact me. That's what we have agreed on."
When Cai Cai saw Fatty Niu reluctant to leave, she felt a chill: "Damn it, Fatty."
Then he caught up with Li Mo and asked curiously: "My hero, is the one you just bought worth a lot of money?"
"Well, it's worth a bit of money. You won't lose money if you spend a thousand yuan."
