The three of them walked forward for a short distance and saw a stall filled with vats of various fruit wines. They were selling bulk fruit wines and there were quite a few people buying them.
"Uncle, there is a fruit wine over there that is quite delicious. Every year our family buys a few bottles to try. The alcohol content is very low, so girls can drink just one bottle."
After Chen Xiaoyan finished speaking, she looked at her brother eagerly, but Chen Xiaojun didn't understand what she meant. Instead, she coughed and said, "You don't know that my junior uncle can't drink."
"Okay, you are stubborn."
Chen Xiaoyan looked at Li Mo helplessly.
"I'll go over and have a taste." Li Mo walked to the fruit wine stall. There was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old holding a little tasting wine, handing it to anyone who wanted to drink it.
"Have some apple flavor."
Li Mo took the small paper cup and tasted it briefly. Sure enough, the alcohol taste was very light, and there was a faint apple aroma in his mouth.
"Come here and buy a few bottles to take back when you go home."
Walking further, I saw Chen Xiaoyan squatting in front of a stall. The stall was filled with various jewelry boxes, including gold and silver, and some boxes were inlaid with agate beads and the like. Some jewelry boxes look old, with the surface oxidized and blackened.
"Yanzi, do you have a jewelry box you like?"
"Uncle Master, look at this jewelry box. It can hold a lot of things." What Chen Xiaoyan is holding is a wooden box. It is not made of precious wood, but it is inlaid with a lot of agate beads and various carvings on the surface. It looks very gorgeous and beautiful.
Girls generally have little resistance to this beautiful thing.
"Boss, how much does this packing box cost?" Li Mo asked.
"That's four hundred and eighty yuan."
"Tch, I thought it was forty-eight." When Chen Xiaoyan heard the price, she put it directly on the stall and muttered.
"Little girl, you are really good at joking. I came from another county, and the forty-eight yuan is not even enough to pay for the gas. If you really like it, I can give you thirty yuan cheaper. Four hundred and fifty yuan is already the lowest price. Why? You have to let me make some money."
"It's too expensive. I don't have that much pocket money." When Chen Xiaoyan heard the price, he only needed to buy the fish and shrimp chili sauce for four days to make money back. Otherwise, he would stop buying it without hesitation.
Li Mo's eyes swept around the stall. Some of the gold and silver jewelry boxes in this stall were still real, at least they really contained gold and silver.
He picked up a gold box from hundreds of jewelry boxes that was no bigger than his palm. It looked like a crabapple-shaped gold powder box. In his eyes at this moment, this golden powder box was shining with red light and it was from the Tang Dynasty.
"Boss, how much does this cost?"
"That one is not cheap. It is a gold-plated jewelry box. Let me tell you, this gold-plated jewelry box cost me a total of 1,800 yuan when I bought it. If you like it, I will never make more money from you. You can give it to me. Just two thousand is fine, I’ll earn some hard money.”
"Boss, are you crazy about money? Do you think we are fools? If it's really gold-plated, why would you put it up for sale? It seems to me that this jewelry box is made of chemical gold, not pure gold at all. And this one is It's so small, there's no room for two earrings, so you'd be a fool to spend two thousand to buy it." Chen Xiaoyan retorted in a flurry of words, and Li Mo was ready to pay. Hearing what she said, he quickly put it in his mouth. Swallow the words. Otherwise, in her eyes, he would be a fool.
"Little girl, I can't convince you, so just make a price so that I don't lose money."
"One hundred and eighty dollars."
What Chen Xiaoyan said was so categorical that he could not question it. This knife attack really hurt the boss's vitality. He looked at Xiaoyan and didn't know what to say. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Okay, I won't do your business. I'm just here to cause trouble with you."
"If it doesn't sell, it won't sell. I won't buy it yet."
Li Mo sighed secretly, thinking that it would be easy for him to pick up the slack. If you say something like that, people have already blacklisted you.
"Boss, this jewelry box sounds exquisite and beautiful. Even the wooden box, you can just quote the cheapest price. If it's about the same, I'll buy them all, so that you can make some money and we can also get a big deal, okay?"
"I quite like what you say as a young man. Okay, so you give me a thousand yuan for two pieces. Young man, I really only earn a little hard money at this price. No matter how low it is, I would rather not sell it. Who would do a business that is losing money?" Do."
Li Mo stood up and said, "Okay, just one thousand, I'll transfer the money to you."
After Li Mo paid the money, he put the gold powder box into his pocket. The boss packed the wooden box for Chen Xiaoyan with a smile on his face, and told her: "Little girl, the things are a bit heavy, you have to carry it."
"Profiteer, I don't want to talk to you." Chen Xiaoyan packed up the wooden box and turned around to leave. She didn't know whether it was because she felt sorry for the money or because she really felt that this boss was a bit annoying.
Chen Xiaojun has been following Li Mo for a long time and knows that he will never buy such an exquisite jewelry box for no reason. It looks like it is for women. After the three of them walked for a short distance, Xiao Jun asked, "Uncle Master, is that gold-plated jewelry box an old item?"
"Okay, I have good eyesight." Li Mo smiled, then took it out and looked at it carefully and said, "This is a gold powder box, which was used to hold rouge and gouache in the past. There are many people here. I will tell you in detail when I get back. "
Next, Li Mo took the two of them shopping for nearly two hours before returning the same way. There were too many people here, and it took a long time to buy something delicious.
Back in Chenjiacun, Li Zhongsheng and the others had already started playing mahjong, while Shiyi and Chen Feng were standing outside chatting.
"Swallow, what are you carrying in your hand?"
"Auntie, this is the jewelry box that my junior uncle gave me. It has three layers inside. I can put a lot of things in it. Do you think it's pretty?"
Chen Xiaoyan waved it in front of Chen Feng as if to show off, but didn't let her take a closer look.
"Junior brother, when will you buy me a gift?"
Chen Feng looked at Li Mo with a half-smile, but the latter calmly took out the gold powder box from his pocket and handed it to her and said, "If you get married next year, I will give you this as a wedding gift."
"What is this?" Chen Feng looked through it a few times. The workmanship was quite exquisite, but he didn't know what it was.
"The Begonia Gold Powder Box handed down from the Tang Dynasty. When you arrive in Kyoto later this year, ask a professional institution to test it. If the pure gold content reaches 80%, it was made by the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty. If the pure gold content is only 80% If it's seventy, it's private forging, and the price difference between the two is several times higher."
Ah, Chen Xiaoyan couldn't help but reach out and grab it to take a closer look. This one was actually not gold-plated, but forged from pure gold mixed with other metals.
"Don't move, this is your aunt's dowry for next year." Chen Feng patted Yanzi's hand gently and said with a smile on his face, "Junior brother, please tell me in detail, so that I can show off in front of others in the future."
Chen Xiaoyan immediately walked into the house angrily carrying the wooden box.
"The Tang Dynasty was the era when our country's gold and silverware production reached its peak. If you open the lid of the box and take a closer look, you will see a pool of pearls inside. On top of the pearl ground, a frame is opened, and patterns like flowers and birds are chiseled out. The chiseled flowers are very dense, and The flower vines inside have some Middle Eastern Persian patterns, and the craftsmanship is quite complicated. Even if you look at such a small compact, it is actually very difficult to make."
"If the gold content reaches 80%, it means it was made in the Tang Dynasty by royal craftsmen. If you don't want to sell it in the future, you can keep it as a small family heirloom."
