Chapter 41 I accidentally found a bargain at the scrap market!
"That's what happened."
"Then you can find it at the scrap market! You can find bargains everywhere anyway. These are all things the owners don't want. Who knows if they're real or fake? Maybe some of them are good."
Gu Shengsheng nodded, but the netizens in the live broadcast room thought it was impossible.
"Impossible! I've been cleaning for ten years and I've never found anything valuable. It's impossible for the anchor to find such a bargain!"
"Wow, the anchor's fans have a wide range of ages!"
"But I also think there's nothing good in a scrap market. This guy is just talking nonsense, and the anchor is also a stubborn person."
"I'm so anxious because the anchor got a good deal yesterday and now Panjiayuan is too crowded. When the anchor goes there, he won't even be able to eat a fly leg. He won't even be able to smell the meat."
Gu Shengsheng said to the old man, "I'm just strolling around. It's not realistic to find a bargain. But I've never been here before, so I'm just taking a look."
The old man smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you can see for yourself!"
"If you have any questions, just ask me. Oh, and there's a junk seller over there, it's about 20 yuan a pound! Scrap is the most expensive thing right now."
"good."
The market is full of old books. There are not many people here, just various vendors coming here, some to buy things, and of course some to sell things.
Gu Shengsheng walked towards the pile of old iron sheets, some old teapots and various furniture.
The man on the rocking chair next to her handed her disposable gloves: "Don't get your hands dirty! You are a clean little girl. Why are you taking out the trash?"
Gu Shengsheng said, "Just take a look."
Then she wandered around and touched anything strange she saw.
The surrounding area is indeed a place for recycling second-hand goods, and almost everything is unusable.
There are also some teapots that are so worn that they are covered with glaze. The base is really unusable and filled with water glaze. It is obvious that they have seen some use.
My grandmother usually does the same thing at home. She is reluctant to throw away any old things and will only keep them when they are really unusable, waiting for the scrap metal collector to come and sell them.
All the messy hair should be collected and exchanged for steamed corn bread and silk candy.
Although those days were very hard, Gu Shengsheng still feels sweet when she thinks about them now.
Recently, he has been in contact with neighbors and learned that his grandmother has been staying well in the village. Gu Shengsheng also gave money to the neighbor aunt and asked her to help take care of her.
Just when he was distracted, Gu Shengsheng felt that something suddenly changed on the attribute panel.
It seems like I saw the number 10 million...
Strange, so many zeros, I shouldn't be mistaken.
She has been picking and choosing for a while, but hasn't found anything good, but the attribute panel keeps jumping.
Now that he has encountered such a thing, not to mention others, even Gu Shengsheng himself is curious.
What the hell is this?
Then, her fingers paused, and then stopped on a rusty iron cage that even had rust spots.
No...it's familiar. I think I've handled it in a past life. It looks like a birdcage.
Item: Cloisonné enamel birdcage
Era: Ming Dynasty
Detailed Description: Exquisite workmanship, this is a top-quality item. Forged by a palace maid at the order of King Zhuang of Liang. Recommended for restoration and collection.
Market price: 15 million after restoration
Repurchase price: 14.8 million
Note: The host has mastered the art of cloisonné enamel in his previous life and has superb skills. Therefore, this system automatically unlocks this function and does not require emotional value redemption.
Gu Shengsheng: “…”
Isn't that right? Even without using the system, she would recognize this thing.
This system is tailor-made?
[System]: Host, the system is tailor-made for you.
Gu Shengsheng ignored him.
At first glance, this thing is really not attractive at all, and it is even more "junk metal" than those unwanted things.
Gu Shengsheng was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this thing would be worth 15 million.
Before Gu Shengsheng knew about cloisonné enamel, she also knew that many vases and various handicrafts made of cloisonné enamel were much more expensive.
Even something like cloisonné is rarely seen nowadays and is estimated to be worth tens of millions.
But this birdcage no longer looks like what it once was.
It was extremely rusty. Even though Gu Shengsheng had studied cultural relics before traveling through time, he knew that this thing was difficult to repair.
But when she took it up and took a closer look, she was stunned. This thing... might actually be repairable.
She even had an idea of how to fix it.
Following Gu Shengsheng's lead, netizens also looked at the birdcage.
Everyone was speechless at this time:
"It's over. Other anchors are just criticized for being in love, but how could our anchor have such a bad brain?"
"Why are you picking up junk here instead of doing your job? I'm really helpless. There's no use picking up so much junk."
"Anchor, don't tell me you want to take this birdcage back?"
"That's right, your behavior is outrageous. We know you can find bargains, but you haven't done anything in three days. Horrible."
Gu Shengsheng explained: "Don't worry, I have my reasons for winning."
As he said that, he walked up to the old man with the birdcage.
"Master, I want this."
“…” The old man looked at her as if she was crazy.
Some were speechless: "Did you take the wrong medicine? Did you just escape from a mental hospital today and don't understand the market?"
"That old man said you came here to buy something useful. Is this thing of yours useful?"
"It works." Gu Shengsheng said firmly and confidently.
Seeing her stubborn attitude, the old man knew that this girl must be a fool.
But never mind, what he hates most is people meddling in other people's affairs.
"Okay! I don't want this thing even at ten dollars. I'll sell it to you for five dollars." He himself despised this piece of scrap metal.
When weighing them, those who sent them for recycling in factories were all disgusted.
This thing that was disliked by countless people and had been left here was actually chosen by such a little girl.
What else can I say about this kind of thing?
Apart from the fact that this little girl is a fool, there is no other way to explain it.
Gu Shengsheng handed him five dollars. After thanking him, he walked out of the scrap market and said, "I'll go buy some things to repair it."
"No, host, please explain to us why you are doing this! We didn't realize you were this kind of person before!"
"Anchor, I don't understand, why did you buy this thing?"
Gu Shengsheng smiled and said, "No hurry, have you heard of Zhu Zhanji's younger brother, Prince Liangzhuang?"
"King Zhuang of Liang had a wife whom he loved only one person his entire life, the Princess of Wei. King Zhuang of Liang wasn't as capable as his brother, nor did he have the talent of his father. But his love life was legendary. There's a legend about him and the Princess of Liang."
"When two people fall in love for four thousand days, they give each other four thousand gifts. King Zhuang of Liang gave gifts every day."
Gu Shengsheng lifted up the birdcage and said, "This is one of them, and it's one of the better ones. When they got engaged, Princess Wei gave him a birdcage like this, with a bird inside."
"It means you are willing to marry him and become a caged bird."
