Chapter 214 The Ghost Market, Deceiving Master Xiao
She squatted in front of the stall, looking at this and that, and even took out a flashlight to shine on it.
Carefully selected.
However, after looking at each item on the stall, she still couldn't find anything suitable, so she turned around and looked again.
They didn't seem like they were there to buy things; they looked more like they were there to conduct research.
Fang Yuan was completely baffled and, out of boredom, wandered off to another place.
Seeing Guan Yuxi looking at the bronze vessels over and over again, Master Xiao couldn't help but feel curious.
Seeing her expression shift between joy and sorrow, he couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, what are you looking at?"
Guan Yuxi gave him a sweet smile, "Let me think about what's different."
Master Xiao certainly knows what's his own.
Although these items are all of the same type, they are made in completely different ways and from different eras. Anyone with a little knowledge of such things should be able to tell the difference.
Those who can't see it are completely ignorant and therefore won't be interested in these objects.
Guan Yuxi looked at it over and over again, clearly indicating that she wasn't uninterested.
Then there is only one possibility.
"Does the little girl have similar items?"
"Yes, but it's similar to yours yet not quite. I find it a bit strange. What's the price of yours?"
Guan Yuxi picked up an exquisite wine pot and asked.
Third Master Xiao gestured with one hand.
"five hundred?"
Master Xiao chuckled, but said nothing, and sat back down to warm his hands by the fire again.
"It's fifty thousand!"
Sometime later, Fang Yuan turned back.
He said to Third Master Xiao, "Third Master, don't underestimate her. Even my master acknowledges her keen eye!"
Master Xiao seemed to be moved by his words and sat up straight again.
He looked Guan Yuxi over carefully before smiling again:
"Oh, could you perhaps show this old man what the young lady wants to compare?"
Guan Yuxi looked at Leng Lie, who opened his backpack, took out a bronze teapot and three teacups, and handed them over.
Master Xiao was stunned.
He was just being polite to Fang Yuan and made a casual remark, but he didn't expect this young girl to be so straightforward.
"Could you please teach me why this rust is different?"
Third Master Xiao nodded slightly, going against the current, indicating that he would wait a moment.
He turned on his flashlight and examined the teapot from all angles, becoming more and more excited with each look.
Finally, he became so excited that his face turned red, "Little girl, would you like to exchange this? You can exchange it for money or other items."
You can pick whatever you want from the old man's stall, one item at a time!
Guan Yuxi was very surprised. She picked up the wine pot and shook it, her meaning clear: Does this wine pot count?
Third Master Xiao nodded hastily, "That counts too!"
Leng Lie frowned, snatched the things from Xiao Sanye's hand, put them back in his bag, grabbed Guan Yuxi, and said unhappily, "Let's go!"
Fang Yuan's heart was pounding wildly.
How good Guan Yuxi's cooking skills are, others may not know, but doesn't he know?
The things she brought were most likely made by herself. Although it was a case of exchanging fakes for fakes, the other party was none other than Master Xiao.
Fortunately, Leng Duilie managed to get the items back; otherwise, he feared they wouldn't have been able to leave the night market!
He quickly apologized to Master Xiao and hurriedly followed after him.
Unexpectedly, Leng Lie and Guan Yuxi were stopped by two burly men.
Master Xiao stood up and said with a smile, "May I ask this gentleman why you took the things?"
Is it a lack of trust in the old man, or a feeling that the old man can't afford the price?
As he spoke, he moved closer, forming a near-triangular encirclement with the two burly men.
Fang Yuan was a little confused. He had been to the Ghost Market so many times, but he had never seen Master Xiao forcibly rob things before. What was going on today?
"Third Master, you are very magnanimous. My two friends are new to the capital and are unaware of your local customs. I apologize on their behalf."
If you like this item, you can look at it and admire it for as long as you like!
He kept giving Guan Yuxi meaningful glances as he spoke.
The meaning is clear: with Guan Yuxi's skills, she could make as much of that stuff as she wanted.
How much is the cost?
It's best not to offend Master Xiao!
Guan Yuxi ignored him and instead looked at Leng Lie, "Brother Lie, is something wrong?"
Leng Lie slowly slung his backpack over his shoulder and pointed to the items on the stall, saying, "You just picked up that wine jug, he said it was worth 50,000. There were also a few other items, I heard him quote prices to others, some for 10,000, some for 20,000, some for 30,000, and the lowest price was 5,000 each."
They're treating us like fools! They think they can just pick and choose whatever they want with this?
Guan Yuxi nodded in agreement, "Brother Lie is so smart, otherwise I would have almost been fooled."
She turned to Third Master Xiao and said shyly, "I'm sorry, I won't exchange it. I'm not sure how to measure this item properly, and I'm afraid I'll suffer a loss, and I'm also afraid you'll suffer a loss."
Besides, your things are so expensive; if I went elsewhere, I wouldn't be able to eat or sleep.
I see.
The smile on Third Master Xiao's face gradually became much more genuine.
"How about I just buy it? Name your price!"
Fang Yuan froze instantly.
He stood frozen in place, too afraid to move.
I felt a cold sweat break out on my brow.
My goodness, this is Master Xiao, a figure whose every move in Beijing's cultural circles is enough to make the ground tremble!
Guan Yuxi and her husband actually managed to fool him...
"I don't know about prices. I once sold a similar one in my hometown for eight hundred yuan."
If you like this, just name your price.
Guan Yuxi glanced at the two burly men and seemed somewhat afraid, shrinking back behind Leng Lie.
