The stall owner's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up as he enthusiastically urged him to open his stall.
Can we just calm down for a bit?
The stall owner took out cigarettes and tapped the cigarette pack lightly twice.
"Look at this thing—a genuine old piece, I didn't overcharge you!"
Seeing that Bai Yejin was somewhat flustered, the stall owner lowered his voice again.
"Let me put it this way, a boss in Panjiayuan offered this amount the other day, and I didn't back down."
Bai Yejin frowned slightly as she watched the stall owner hold up three fingers.
"If you really want to ask for this, you'd better let me see how much sincerity you have in your pocket first!"
The stall owner raised his voice slightly, gently lit a cigarette, looked down at Bai Yejin, and exhaled smoke rings.
"Too expensive."
“I’m from out of town, I can’t afford this money.”
Bai Yejin's hesitant tone made the stall owner's tone a little impatient.
But looking at Bai Yejin's "naive and innocent" appearance, he was a little reluctant to give up this business.
After thinking for a moment, the stall owner tentatively asked.
"Hey girl, let's not play games, show us what you're got?"
Bai Yejin held out her hand, clutching a crumpled green banknote, and frowned as she looked at the stall owner.
After a brief silence, the stall owner pointed to his stall.
"That's how it is."
"Let's not talk about the big items yet. Take a look around in this pile of small trinkets."
The stall owner lowered his voice again, his tone tinged with helplessness.
"Tell me which one you like, and I'll give you a fair price."
"We hit it off today, let's be friends!"
Bai Yejin nodded and began to explore the stall on the ground.
He picked up this to look at, then picked up that to look at.
After waiting for a while, Bai Yejin picked up a small bowl full of mud and looked up at the stall owner.
The stall owner thought for a moment and then gave a price.
"This seventy!"
Bai Yejin placed the bowl on the ground and picked up another small wine cup.
"Seventy-five! That's the lowest price ever!"
Bai Yejin put the item down with a disappointed look, and became somewhat hesitant when choosing other things.
After this back and forth, the stall owner finally understood that Bai Yejin only had fifty yuan on her, and not a single penny more.
Bai Yejin's gaze swept across the area and lingered on the small bowl next to Lin Yifeng's small ornament.
She picked up the small bowl and gestured to the stall owner.
The stall owner hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and decided to buy another one.
"sixty!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yejin immediately put down the small bowl in her hand.
This situation really worried the stall owner.
"Oh my little darling."
"This price is ridiculously low!"
"You can't expect me to lose my entire belt, can you?" Bai Yejin replied pitifully.
"But that's all I have."
These words left the stall owner completely helpless.
He realized he couldn't get an extra penny from Bai Yejin, so he could only wave his hand impatiently.
"Take it away! Out of sight, out of mind!"
"Hey, remember this: only you can snag this bargain!"
"Don't make a scene outside, I still have business to do."
Bai Yejin gave a bright smile, picked up the small bowl she had just received, and handed over the fifty yuan she had been holding.
After the stall owner opened his fanny pack and put away the money, he hurriedly waved goodbye to Bai Yejin.
After Bai Yejin left, the stall owner's lips curled up slightly.
He just brought this small bowl back from the countryside a few days ago; it only cost a few yuan to make.
The main thing is that the patterns on it are very impressive, making it look like an old object.
In fact, he had other people look at it, and it wasn't anything valuable at all.
He originally wanted to scam two or three hundred yuan, but he didn't expect the girl to take it for fifty.
Although it's a bit of a loss, I don't know when I'll be able to sell it if I leave it on the stall.
"Hey, Zhao the Cripple, what did you sell that makes you so happy?"
A stall owner was calling out from a distance.
The stall owner slapped his thigh, laughing and joking.
"Hey! This silly girl!"
"They managed to buy a Kangxi-era artifact for fifty yuan, mistaking it for a modern craft!"
"I feel sorry for her ancestors for getting such a bargain!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around burst into laughter.
Despite the many old items on his stall, none of them date back to the Kangxi era; at most, they're from the Republic of China period.
Even more outrageous are those bronze artifacts like the ones Lin Yifeng just looked at, which at most were made just last week.
Meanwhile, outside the alley entrance.
Lin Yifeng stood quietly at the door, waiting.
A moment later, Bai Yejin excitedly walked over to Lin Yifeng and quietly slipped the small bowl into his arms.
Upon seeing Bai Yejin's reaction, Lin Yifeng knew that he had not misjudged her.
"Good stuff?"
Bai Yejin nodded vigorously.
Her family has been firing porcelain for many years, so she is very familiar with it.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this thing looks new with its muddy exterior; it looks like it was deliberately aged.
In reality, the soil inside is definitely from an old object; it's just that some new soil has been added in recent years.
If you remove the mud later, there's likely something good inside.
Seeing Bai Yejin's excited expression, Lin Yifeng's lips gradually curled up.
"This was a lucky find, great!"
"As expected of our White Queen!"
"That's such a realistic acting performance!"
Seeing Lin Yifeng joking about her, Bai Yejin pinched Lin Yifeng's waist again in dissatisfaction.
"You're doing it again!"
Lin Yifeng weighed the small clay bowl in his hand.
This thing is not as big as the bowl he has, but its value is by no means less.
