Qin Suyun suppressed the excitement in her heart, pretended to be calm, and calmly adjusted her clothes before walking into the other party's shop.
This shop is not big, with only two ordinary storefronts. The interior decoration design is not much different from the Boya Zhai opposite. It also has a glass-window-style locked antique display cabinet, but the things displayed inside are much more than the one opposite. Qin Suyun squinted her eyes and took a few glances, then walked into the store.
"Old Jia, have dinner! I brought you my favorite chestnut-braised spareribs today. Eat more!"
As soon as she entered the store, Qin Suyun saw that the curly-haired woman turned her back to her and handed the stainless steel lunch box in her hand to a man at the counter. The man was about forty years old, with a muscular body and a strong physique. There was a ferocious expression on his face. He did not look like a seller of antiques who made money by being friendly. Instead, he looked like the gang leaders in Hong Kong movies.
Qin Suyun held her breath and concentrated, just taking a quick glance, not daring to look any further for fear of revealing any clues.
"Little girl, are you here to buy antiques?" Seeing a customer coming in, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He didn't even eat his meal and walked over directly. The curly-haired woman with her back to Qin Suyun also turned around and looked at Qin Suyun.
As she turned around, the other person's appearance fell into Qin Suyun's eyes! It was Cao Shuyun whom she met in her dream that day!
The excitement and joy that Qin Suyun had suppressed surged back into her heart! Even her pupils dilated slightly with excitement! She had finally found this shop! Great! All her hard work this morning was worth it!
"Well, I'm here to buy something, and I want to take a look first." Qin Suyun nodded and smiled.
"Little girl, take a closer look. The things in my shop are all good stuff. I spent a lot of time and effort to buy these old things from outside!" Hearing that Qin Suyun came to buy things, the middle-aged man raised the corners of his mouth and his smile deepened, but his eyes kept turning, secretly looking Qin Suyun up and down.
"Okay! Then I'll take a closer look!" The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Qin Suyun smiled and didn't say anything more.
She turned and walked towards the antique shelf at the side. Qin Suyun knew nothing about antiques, so she just pretended to look through the antique shelves quickly, trying to find the blue-glazed embossed hollow spring vase with fish playing on lotus leaves. However, she walked around the entire store twice and didn't find a single blue-glazed product!
What's going on?!
Qin Suyun felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her head, her heart was in turmoil! Could it be that they had already sold that thing?!
That's not right! The two of them clearly didn't look regretful or sad at all. They didn't look like they were feeling lost after missing out on something. Could it be that the item hadn't been retrieved yet? Qin Suyun felt a little discouraged. Could it be that this opportunity was just going to slip away?
Qin Suyun was at a loss and stood up to leave.
"What? Little girl, don't you like these things?" The middle-aged man frowned when he saw Qin Suyun was about to leave. He quickly stepped forward and stopped her. He said with a smile: "Little girl, don't be in a hurry to leave! I still have some good things I collected last night. Do you want to take a look?"
"Did you collect it last night?" Qin Suyun looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.
"Yes, they just arrived last night." The middle-aged man took Qin Suyun to the back of the counter and took out a large box from under the counter. He held it in front of Qin Suyun and said, "These are the things! If you like any of them, I will sell them to you at a low price."
How could such a coincidence happen?
Qin Suyun glanced at the middle-aged man with some suspicion, but didn't say anything. She just lowered her head to look at the things in the box. There were not many things in the box, only about a dozen or so items, and each item was covered with a lot of mud, looking like it had just been dug out of the ground.
But Qin Suyun felt that the mud seemed to have been touched there intentionally. After searching over and over again, she couldn't find the blue-glazed embossed hollow spring vase she was looking for. Qin Suyun shook her head and stood up.
Seeing Qin Suyun stand up to leave again, the middle-aged man locked the box and suddenly grabbed Qin Suyun's arm, laughing and said, "Hey! Little girl, you are wrong! How can you take my things and run away? You have to pay for them!"
"What?" Qin Suyun was stunned and said subconsciously: "When did I take your things?"
"Why didn't you take our things?" Cao Shuyun smiled and forced a metal enamel snuff bottle into Qin Suyun's hand. She raised her hind legs and closed half of the door, so that people outside could not see what was going on inside. This skillful action made Qin Suyun laugh and cry.
Did these two people, hearing her foreign accent, try to blackmail her?!
"Are you trying to blackmail me?" Qin Suyun coldly shook off the middle-aged man's hand. "Aren't you afraid I'll scam you? You'll just scream for help and rape me?"
"Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about? We are honest people, how could we do such a thing as blackmail?" Cao Shuyun was obviously not afraid of this threat. Instead, she said lightly: "We have cameras up there. How could such a dirty thing happen in our store? But it's not certain what will happen outside our store..."
"How about, little girl, buy a few things in our store. Let's just pretend that the incident of stealing things from the store today never happened?" With Cao Shuyun standing at the door to stop him, the middle-aged man was not in a hurry. Instead, he dragged out another sack of things from under the counter and threatened again: "These are all good things. Little girl, buy two here? They are very cheap! If you don't buy them, who knows what will happen in Yunhai City?" As he said that, the middle-aged man kicked the sack towards Qin Suyun.
Being stared at by the two men, Qin Suyun suppressed her anger and squatted down to check the contents of the sack. She planned to buy two cheap items and be done with it. Fortunately, she had prepared herself mentally before coming here, knowing that she would most likely be blackmailed by the other party. Otherwise, she would have vomited to death.
This man obviously didn't care about the things in the sack. Looking at his rough movements, he didn't care whether the things in the sack would break. It was obvious that they must be a bunch of cheap imitations. Qin Suyun held her breath and casually took out the things in the sack.
But unexpectedly, the first thing she pulled out was a blue-glazed spring vase. Qin Suyun was so shocked that she even forgot the words she had prepared to send the two men away. She hurriedly looked at the vase in her hand. This, this is the blue-glazed embossed hollow spring vase she was looking for!
The small spring vase is only the size of a palm, and under the two hollow lotus leaves is a small carp embossed on it, exactly the same as the picture in the advertisement in the dream!
Qin Suyun moved her throat subconsciously. The porcelain vase in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Suppressing the joy in her heart, she couldn't help but rub it twice, pretending to be nonchalant and putting the spring vase on the ground, as if she didn't like it very much. She took out the other things from the sack again and examined them one by one.
Like the things in the box, many of the things in the sack were still covered in mud. She took a look in the sack and took out a small porcelain bowl with exquisite workmanship, gold rim and red glaze and placed it in front of the middle-aged man and Cao Shuying. The red and blue colors were festive.
"Just these two things." Qin Suyun frowned and said in a bad tone, putting the things on the counter casually and pretending not to care.
"You have good taste, young lady. These two things are quite beautiful. I'll give you a discount, 20,000 yuan." Who would be happy to be blackmailed? As long as he could get the money, the middle-aged man didn't care about other people's expressions.
