Chapter 296 Chance Encounter
"What did Bao Xuan tell you just now?"
Before leaving the private restaurant, Bao Xuan pulled Gu Jiu aside and didn't know what he said. Lin Shu was very curious about this.
What do two grown men say when they whisper?
"It's nothing. A friend needs us to support a scene. You and your child will rest in the hotel tomorrow. I will go out in the morning. If I can come back at noon, have lunch with you."
Gu Jiu didn't explain the specific things clearly, maybe it was because it was hard to reveal too much about his friends' private matters.
Lin Shu didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, you don't have to worry about me and the children."
The next day, after breakfast, Gu Jiu went out. Lin Shu and the children saw Gu Jiu off and took a walk in the garden on the first floor of the hotel.
Unfortunately, the small garden of the hotel cannot satisfy the two children, especially the second child. After playing in the small garden for a long time, he kept pointing outside the hotel and wanted to go shopping.
Lin Shu was given a headache by Erbao, so he could only go back to the hotel room to bring the water glass, sweat towel and other things before going out.
It is impossible for an adult to take care of two two-year-old children outside.
I had no choice but to buy a two-seater stroller from the system mall, put the two children in it, and then push them out. This would at least make shopping easier.
When talking about lively places, Lin Shu thought of Fuchang Street. Although it was a bit far away, you could take a taxi there.
Last time I went there and only picked out some furniture. Today I have nothing to do so I can go shopping for other used items to see if I can pick up any more.
I did what I thought of, hailed a taxi on the road and headed directly towards Fuchang Street.
Apart from the old furniture, there are many other stalls on Fuchang Street, which are all kinds of stalls. Only you can’t think of anything they can’t display.
Lin Shu pushed the two children to a stop next to a stall, squatted down and picked up a jade-like object on the stall with four claws, "What is this?"
There was a middle-aged man in a Tang suit at the stall. His thin body was like a penholder. He looked at Lin Shu and scratched the top of his head with his five fingers. "If you are scratching your head, you can massage your head to relax your scalp and make your hair more beautiful." Health.”
"There is something like this. How much does it cost?"
Lin Shu took out a small flashlight from his crossbody bag and took a photo of the jade. It was of good quality and very transparent.
"If you want it, take it for fifty."
"Fifty? This is not for food or drink. You just buy it as a rare thing. You said you want fifty, but I think five yuan at most is about the same."
After Lin Shu said this, he put down the jade object and picked up other jade objects next to him and began to observe.
"Fifty is too expensive. Do you know who uses this thing?" The stall owner looked disdainful, but he was very happy in his heart. He met a stupid young man who didn't understand anything and it was easy to fool him.
"Who has used it?" Lin Shu raised his head and glanced at him, "You won't tell me that the emperor and prince used it, right?"
"Hey, smart, you guessed it right. It had been played with by Baylor in the capital, otherwise the color would not be so clear and moist."
"It's empty talk. Who knows whether what you said is true or false." Lin Shu looked unbelieving at his words.
Not long after, she picked up another jade ring and asked, "How much does this cost?"
"This is forty."
"This one is also five yuan."
"I think you didn't come here to buy things intentionally, but you came here to bring bad luck to me!" The stall owner's tone was no longer very good.
He seemed a little angry.
Lin Shu put down the things and clapped his hands: "Since we can't reach an agreement, forget it. I'll go to other stalls to have a look." The system just said that the jade is real jade, but it is not an antique and is not worth much.
When the stall owner saw Lin Shuzhen leaving with the stroller, he became anxious and said, "More more, you can take thirty-one."
Lin Shu was unmoved and insisted on his price: "Five yuan. If it exceeds this price, it is not worth it. After all, it is just a second-hand product."
"Okay, okay, you can take two ten yuan." The stall owner looked hurt, as if he had lost all his underwear.
"Don't act like that. Seeing how readily you agreed to sell it to me, these two pieces of jade don't look like valuable items. I just entered this street and haven't looked at several of them yet. Now I feel a little regretful about bargaining. It’s too fast, maybe you can encounter better goods when you go in.”
"I have the best goods here. Did you know that I am an old resident of Wutiao Fuchang Street? This used to be a place where only royal relatives were eligible to live. The things on the stall are all my belongings. I thought they were of no use. Put it out and sell it to get some money to buy oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.”
Gee, that’s really bragging about not drafting.
Lin Shu reluctantly turned around and picked up two pieces of jade, and then picked up an inconspicuous snuff bottle next to him, "This is a match, I will take it for ten yuan."
"Oh, you women like to take advantage. You think this is a wet market to buy vegetables. If you don't weigh enough, you have to add a green onion?"
The stall owner looked like he was about to cut off the meat, and reluctantly waved his hand, "Take it."
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
The snuff bottle was very dirty. It was the most inconspicuous thing that had been thrown away in a drawer at home. If this place had not become a flea market and he was trying to enrich the items in the stall, he might have thrown away this dirty snuff bottle.
Lin Shu remained calm, found ten yuan, stuffed three things into his bag and pushed the child away.
A small street less than 100 meters long will not last long. If you are immersed in the joy of shopping, a small street 100 meters long can last you a whole day.
When the children sit in the car and see passers-by, they are quiet. However, when they are hungry or thirsty, they will point to the milk bottle hanging on the cart and ask for water or biscuits.
At this time, ordinary people received a salary of tens of dollars and were not able to support their families well. No one had spare money to buy these old things that were not suitable for eating or drinking.
Therefore, although there are many stalls on this street, there are still very few people who actually buy them. Of course, the business of used furniture is better.
After all, some people in the city want to buy furniture, and if they are not rich, they will consider old furniture first.
It is now the early 1980s, when the second-hand market has just emerged, and the cultural relics department has not yet paid attention to it. In the next few years, some people reported that the second-hand market was suspected of reselling cultural relics. When the market was regulated, it was a bit difficult to be so free.
Lin Shu squatted in front of a stall, followed the system prompts, and picked up a porcelain bowl that was not brightly colored.
[System, you said this bowl is porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty? 】
Lin Shu was very curious that this ordinary old bowl, with its ordinary appearance, was actually porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty. The pattern also used the underglaze red that was very characteristic of Yuan Dynasty porcelain.
[Strictly speaking, it is blue and white porcelain with red underglaze, and the red underglaze shows a sauce color. 】
Lin Shu didn't understand antiques, so since the system said it was porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, she believed it and asked the price easily. The stall owner didn't expect Lin Shu to buy it, so he casually quoted a price: "Two yuan. ”
Lin Shu was slightly surprised, took out two yuan from his pocket and paid.
When the stall owner saw Lin Shu paying so readily, he thought he had quoted a low price. However, Lin Shu casually threw the broken bowl into the cloth bag under the cart. This casual action made the stall owner think that he had lowered the price. I think too much.
"Lin Shu?"
Suddenly hearing someone calling out his name, Lin Shu was stunned for a moment. He looked around and saw the person standing not far away looking at him with a surprised look on his face. Lin Shu frowned slightly.
Why did you meet him here?
