"......"
The whispers outside the courtyard gate made Wang Fugui feel utterly ashamed.
He couldn't understand what was going on either. It should have been him and Gu Lili who were caught making love right now.
Wang Fugui seemed unable to withstand the blow and fainted again.
Meanwhile, Wu Chenggui behind him continued to ruthlessly abuse Wang Fugui without any regard for the consequences.
Later, a kind neighbor, unable to bear it any longer, brought a bucket of cold water and poured it on the two of them, which finally separated them.
......
Gu Lili didn't care what would happen to the two of them. She pushed the cart slowly and strolled around, looking here and there.
Gu Lili saw another antique shop by the roadside. Since it was still early, she decided to go in and browse around.
Let's see if we can find some bargains and upgrade the space.
When going shopping for antiques, one cannot show one's true face, as one is so young that people will inevitably suspect one's true identity.
Following the same method, Gu Lili found a secluded spot, changed into "Uncle Youcai's" equipment, and then casually put the trolley into her spatial storage.
With the change of equipment, Gu Lili's temperament also changed.
A wealthy and ostentatious man swaggered out of the alley and walked into an antique shop called "Baogu Zhai".
The waiter, who had been dozing off, perked up instantly when he heard footsteps and looked up to see Gu Lili wearing a gold thumb ring.
"Sir, what would you like to see?" the waiter asked Gu Lili with a fawning smile.
The waiter looked at Gu Lili and thought to himself, "This person is dressed in fine clothes, she must be a rich man. I must treat her well."
Gu Lili cleared her throat and said in a pretentious manner, "Let me take a look myself first!"
This antique shop not only sells antiques, but you can also pawn them.
As Gu Lili browsed around, she used the system to scan the items in the antique shop.
Calligraphy and paintings, books, and vases, etc.
The system's mechanical voice kept ringing in Gu Lili's mind, and Gu Lili shook her head with some regret.
The price indicated by the mechanical voice was ridiculously low, almost the same as that of ordinary goods.
The place I traveled to is a place that does not exist in history, so these antiques are worthless.
Gu Lili sighed and was about to turn and leave when suddenly, something transparent caught her attention.
Upon closer inspection, Gu Lili realized it was actually a glass cup.
However, the color is poor, and there are many impurities inside, which is obviously due to the immature firing technique.
Gu Lili pointed at the transparent cup and asked, "What is this?"
Upon hearing Gu Lili calling out to him, the waiter quickly approached and proudly said, "This is a glass cup, which is rare even in the imperial palace! Many years ago, our manager saved a Persian on the border of the Southern Yue Kingdom, and the Persian gave it to our manager!"
Persian?
Those must be foreigners.
That makes sense. Glass did indeed originate in foreign countries. Gu Lili vaguely remembered her teacher mentioning in school that it was invented by the Egyptians.
However, why is there no Nanyue Kingdom in history?
Gu Lili couldn't figure it out, so she stopped dwelling on the issue.
"How much does this cost?" Gu Lili asked.
The waiter held up one finger in front of Gu Lili, who asked, "One tael?"
One or two coins is already a lot, okay? In our trading space, these glasses are only worth a few coins each.
Unexpectedly, the waiter rolled his eyes at Gu Lili after hearing her words and said, "What kind of glass cup do you want for one tael of silver! A thousand taels!"
This time, Gu Lili was dumbfounded. This small glass cup was actually so valuable.
This was something she had never imagined. If she were to resell glass cups, she would make a fortune!
However, an idea is just an idea. If I were to get injured and a large number of glass cups appeared, people would definitely become suspicious.
It's still uncertain whether Persia and Nanyue will trade. If they don't, some people might think I'm a spy for another country.
However, selling only two or three of them probably won't attract much attention.
Gu Lili coughed lightly and said, "I have three excellent quality glass cups that my ancestors acquired when they were doing business on the border. I wonder if you would buy them?"
The waiter looked completely incredulous upon hearing this.
Someone who didn't even recognize the glass lamp just now is now boasting that he has three of them. Who can believe that?
Seeing the waiter's expression, Gu Lili didn't care much.
Instead, as if by magic, he took three transparent glass cups out of his large sleeves and placed them on the table.
The waiter's expression went from disbelief to utter astonishment.
The three glass cups in front of me were much better than the ones in my own home; they were completely free of any impurities.
In places where there was light, there was a faint glimmer.
This is truly a top-quality product!
Gu Lili looked at the stunned waiter, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Young man, what are you spacing out for! Are you accepting this or not? If not, I'll go ask somewhere else!"
The waiter finally snapped out of his daze after being patted twice by Gu Lili.
"Sir, please wait here, I'll go and fetch my manager!" the waiter said, and then rushed to the side door of the room.
"Manager, manager! Come quick!" the waiter shouted loudly into the room.
A series of curses came from inside the house, "Ah You, you can't stop for a single day! I just took a nap, and you're calling my soul back!"
The waiter wasn't angry at all, and explained with a smile, "Shopkeeper, we've come across some really good stuff today, come and take a look!"
When the people inside heard the waiter say that there were good goods, they stopped cursing and quickly came out.
Gu Lili looked up and saw a thin man, who looked to be in his forties.
He had a shrewd look on his face; he wasn't someone who could be easily fooled.
When the waiter saw his manager come out, he quickly led him toward Gu Lili.
Zhou Yushu was stunned when he saw the glass cup on the table.
This glass cup is even better than mine.
However, being a seasoned businessman, Zhou Yushu quickly regained his composure.
"Sir, are you selling this glass cup?" Zhou Yushu asked with a faint smile.
As Zhou Yushu asked, he was already thinking about how much to offer.
The person in front of me is clearly a businessman; such a fine glass cup is worthy of being passed down through generations.
Perhaps he encountered some difficulties in his business, which is why he took out the glass cup to pawn.
That way, I can really negotiate a lower price.
