As soon as the boy finished speaking, the stall owners around him who were still drowsy woke up instantly.
Where did this sucker come from? Why didn’t such a good thing happen to them?
The stall owner's mouth opened wide amid the astonishment of the crowd around him, but he continued, "Comrade, you have good taste!"
He is going to get rich today!
The boy, who was praised, proudly held the small jade pot in his hand. Before he could pay, a man in his thirties in a suit squeezed in and said, "I'll give you six thousand."
Stall owner: “!!!”
People around: Σ(⊙▽⊙\"aWow~
The boy held the small jade pot in his hand, looked at the person in front of him and said, "I'll give you ten thousand."
"I'll give you 15,000!"
The man in the suit seemed determined to compete with the boy for the small jade pot.
The bidding of the two people made the stall owner nearby unable to believe that two suckers would fall from the sky at the same time. Later, he suspected that he had made a mistake. The small jade pot they were fighting for was actually a priceless antique.
Speaking of which, he did buy this small jade pot wholesale from a dealer at two yuan per pound. Could it be that the dealer was kind enough to mix in the real stuff?
It's hard to say, after all, they do that kind of thing.
"I'll give you 20,000!"
After the boy finished speaking, he turned to the man in the suit and said, "Manager Yao, are you trying to make things difficult for me?"
Shopkeeper Yao smiled and said, "Young Master Wei, you are too polite. Since the stall owner didn't say he would sell it to you, then I have the right to bid."
The Wei family is an old and aristocratic family in the imperial capital. Old man Wei is a famous collector, and their little grandson Wei Nian, although cowardly by nature, is famous for his sharp eyes.
Wei Nian has been raised by Old Master Wei since he was a child. Everyone in the capital knows that anything that Young Master Wei takes a fancy to is almost a priceless treasure.
The treasures that Mr. Wei has in his collection now were found by Wei Nian for him.
Today he finally saw Wei Nian take action, how could he resist not taking advantage of this opportunity.
Shopkeeper Yao raised his hand and said to the stall owner, "I'll give you 25,000!"
As soon as this price was announced, there were exclamations from all around.
Just as Shopkeeper Yao was looking at Wei Nian, waiting for him to continue quoting, Wei Nian placed the small jade pot in his hand on the stall and said to Shopkeeper Yao with a smile, "Since Shopkeeper Yao likes it so much, I'll give it to you."
After Wei Nian finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Manager Yao staring at his back in a daze.
So, is this small jade pot worth buying or not?
Seeing that the bidding was over, the stall owner quickly picked up the small jade pot and handed it to Shopkeeper Yao. "Shopkeeper Yao, you have good taste. Would you like me to pack this small jade pot for you?"
Shopkeeper Yao frowned and took the small jade pot from the stall owner's hand and examined it carefully.
Shopkeeper Yao is the owner of an old restaurant nearby, and he is considered to have inherited his father's business.
He was able to recognize Wei Nian and knew these rumors about Wei Nian because Wei Nian had gone to a restaurant with his friends before.
In fact, Shopkeeper Yao doesn't know much about antiques.
But he thought about how Wei Nian had been so fond of the small jade pot and how he had bid against him several times, so he decided to believe that the small jade pot in front of him was real.
He knew that his interception might annoy Wei Nian and even cause him to lose the customer base of Wei Nian and his friends in the future.
But if this small jade pot is real, then it can completely make up for it.
Not to mention that Wei Nian's friends were just doing it to save face for him, so Manager Yao felt that he hadn't lost out.
Su Jianwei left when Wei Nian came out of the crowd.
Thinking of the smile on the chubby and honest boy's face when he came out of the crowd, Su Jianwei was sure that the man, who was probably more than ten years older than the boy, must have been fooled by him.
Although it was just a small episode, Su Jianwei silently sounded the alarm in his heart.
When doing things, you must have your own bottom line and principles, and you can't act too hastily, otherwise it will be too easy to be led by the nose.
Furthermore, she decided not to pawn the jewelry in her space at the Antique Street today.
It would be difficult to escape from the pawn shop now if it were targeted by someone with ulterior motives. It would be better to deal with a batch of jewelry and gold bricks in my space before leaving the imperial capital.
This way, even if someone wants to find her and plot against her, she can get away.
Without any mission in mind, Su Jianwei really started shopping and eating like an ordinary tourist.
The candied haws in the capital are different from those in the south.
Su Jianwei bought an ordinary candied haws and another candied haws stuffed with glutinous rice.
While eating, he strolled leisurely in the alley, carrying his spoils of the day.
Although the streets in the hutongs are not particularly spacious, they are full of life.
While walking around, Su Jianwei found a familiar street number.
If she remembered correctly, that street number was the address on the title deed in the letter she found in the wooden box.
Su Jianwei had memorized that address long ago. She had originally planned to go look for the location of the deeded courtyard when she had time tomorrow, but since she had come across it today, Su Jianwei just went there naturally.
It is really easy for people who are not familiar with the alleys in the imperial capital to get lost. For example, Su Jianwei not only did not reach the address he wanted to go, but instead ended up in a dead end.
Coincidentally, there were two young men, about eighteen or nineteen years old, who had cornered someone in the dead end.
Su Jianwei took a bite of the candied haws with glutinous rice, listened to the threats of robbery coming from the alley, which were not much different from those in TV dramas, and kicked the stone under his feet behind the two yellow-haired men in boredom.
When they turned around, they were stunned to see Su Jianwei standing at the entrance of the alley eating candied haws. Then they fiercely raised their sticks and said to Su Jianwei, "Get out! Can't you see I'm doing my job?"
When the two yellow-haired boys turned around, they happened to reveal the person blocking them behind them. This person was none other than the boy who had said in front of the stall not long ago that he would spend 20,000 yuan to buy the small jade pot.
He looked somewhat disheveled at the moment. Not only were his clothes torn to pieces, but half of his face was also bruised and swollen.
Judging from the appearance, he must have just been beaten up by these two yellow-haired guys.
Su Jianwei was not surprised to see that the person being blocked was the boy.
He dared to squander money like this in public and acted like a victim. How could anyone with ulterior motives let this fat sheep go?
“I see.”
Su Jianwei had several bags hanging on both arms, and a string of candied haws in each hand. At this moment, she was as relaxed as an old man out for a walk.
She looked at the two yellow-haired boys opposite her and said seriously:
"But I'm a three-good student and a Young Pioneer. As a budding flower of the motherland, how can I watch you bully another budding flower of the motherland?"
Two yellow-haired children: "......?"
Is she sick?!
