The stall owner covered his mouth and whispered, "None of these foreign devils are easy to beat. The Eight-Nation Alliance robbed us of so many good things. If we don't cheat them, who else should we cheat? Sell it at a higher price and I'll give you half."
Wang Yue...are you going to say that to her face?
The stall owners… they don’t understand.
Wang Yue blinked, searching for words in his memory, and stammered, "Well, it's porcelain from the Qing Dynasty."
The stall owner said, "Tang Dynasty!" He understood the last two words and corrected himself immediately.
The two foreigners looked at the dishes and liked them very much.
"How much?" Wang Yue translated.
The stall owner raised five fingers and said "five hundred"
Wang Yue almost staggered with fright. These five dollars were not worth anything. It was really an exorbitant price.
Foreign men and women looked at her expectantly.
"Five hundred" Wang Yue said cautiously.
The foreign woman picked up the dishes and examined them carefully again. The stall owner and Wang Yue were watching them, waiting for them to bargain.
Unexpectedly, the foreign man took out the money from his bag, counted it, counted out fifty bills, and handed them to the stall owner.
The stall owner... was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the money, counted it again, and grinned with joy.
The two men gestured to pack these things up.
The stall owner...he brought it in a clay basket.
"Go buy some pretty paper and a basket with a lid, and wrap it up and put it in there."
"Okay, I'll go buy it now" and the stall owner ran away.
Wang Yue realized later, this guy wouldn’t never come back, right?
The stall owner wanted to come back next time, so he came back soon.
I wrapped the paper I bought for burning in a few plates and bowls, and carefully placed them in a bamboo basket. Once I closed the lid, it looked quite retro.
The foreign man and woman were very satisfied. They thanked Wang Yue, gave her a ten-dollar tip, and left with their basket.
Seeing the two people walking away, the stall owner pulled Wang Yue aside and stuffed 250 yuan into her pocket. "Big sister, let's work together from now on."
Wang Yue took 240 yuan and gave the stall owner 10 yuan, saying, "Let's split the money."
The stall owner pushed it back, "We are all people who want to make big money, so a few dollars won't make a difference." In fact, he felt very sad, but if he wanted others to cooperate with him, he had to be generous. He mainly relied on others.
Wang Yue saw that the stall owner didn't want the money, so she took it away. She had a child now, and she had to calculate every penny. "How can we cooperate?"
"Big sister, my last name is Yang. You can just call me Old Yang. I know a place with a lot of foreigners. You can go there and be my agent, just like today." The stall owner's eyes were cunning. This money was too easy to make. He was planning to start a business to make money from foreigners. The most important thing was to have Wang Yue's help.
Wang Yue was a little timid. “We won’t get caught, will we?”
