Chapter 47 Those Flowers 4
Zhang Wei held it up to the sunlight and saw some tiny impurities inside, which actually made it look like it was made of natural minerals.
"Are you Asian? You recognize them, take them away. It wasn't easy for me to collect them."
The boy saw that although Zhang Wei was small, he was very serious and careful when checking the chess pieces.
This made Zhang Wei a little confused: "You have collected so many chess pieces, you must love them very much, why don't you want them anymore?"
"I really like them when I like them, and I dare say that no one knows better than me how many types of chess there are in the world. I have all the chess pieces in the world here," he said proudly.
"So what?" Zhang Wei didn't understand his logic.
"I have already achieved my goal. Since there is no room for improvement, I will definitely change my hobby!" He said indifferently.
"I'm really interested in stamp collecting now, so I decided to clear out my study to collect stamps. Of course, I have to clear out these chess pieces!"
Zhang Wei felt that his nonchalant attitude was like that of a heartless man who had finally caught up with his sweetheart, and she immediately fell in love with someone else.
Well, in that case, Zhang Wei didn't want to feel sorry for him. She wasn't interested in other chess sets, but she wanted to buy these two Chinese chess sets.
Unfortunately, he was not interested in Zhang Wei's roses, and finally sold the two chess sets to Zhang Wei for a high price of fifteen US dollars.
Because according to the boy, he had to ask his elders for help to get these two chess sets, so he still had to pay some price, so there was no way to make it cheaper, but he gave her a set of chess as a gift.
Okay, it seems there is a club where I can learn this chess. I will study it when I have time.
Zhang Wei trudged forward, dragging the heavy basket. How could it not be heavy? It was filled with books and chess pieces.
There were still a dozen or so roses left that couldn't be sold, so Zhang Wei simply gave them away to those stalls that obviously had no business. Unexpectedly, she also received some miscellaneous small items.
Overall, Zhang Wei reaped great rewards this time, after all, it was a business with no capital investment.
After returning home to Manny's stall with difficulty, he unexpectedly found Namir there. It turned out that he came to ask Manny to borrow money.
It seems that Namier has also taken a fancy to something he likes. So no matter who you are, it is difficult to resist the temptation of low-priced items.
Zhang Wei just remembered that she owed Manny money. After counting the remaining money to Manny, she found that there was still 1 US dollar left.
Not bad, I made some money.
In the end, there was no doll in Grace's basket, but there were a lot of small clothes, skirts, and jewelry, which seemed to be for dressing up the doll.
In her own words, "I have all the dolls they have, but I've never seen any of their clothes."
Dora was true to her word. There was nothing in her basket except a set of oil paintbrushes and some wilted roses.
Grace had spent all her money, but Dora hadn't spent any, so she planned to return the money to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei declined, "This is what we earned together, so we all have a share. You can keep it for next time you come to the flea market."
Dora gave up.
Zhang Wei was eager to go back to her room to sort out her gains this afternoon, but seeing Manny still stubbornly guarding the stall, it seemed as if the result of his transaction today was the football.
Zhang Wei felt a little sad for him because she knew that Manny was also very enthusiastic about this matter.
He started making the tower half a month ago, and even painted it in a color similar to the real Eiffel Tower. Objectively speaking, it is well made and can be used as a desk ornament.
Zhang Wei still had the last dollar in her hand, thinking that if Manny didn't mind the small amount, she would buy the Eiffel Tower or exchange it with him for something else.
He really helped her a lot today and seemed like a competent little brother.
"Manny, I think I'd like to buy this iron tower. It's the best handicraft I've found in the market."
Zhang Wei picked up the iron tower and said to Manny.
Manny said with a hint of joy in his eyes: "I'm so glad you like it. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought it here and would have given it to you directly at home!"
Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "I know you put a lot of effort into making it. You can take a look at what I got in exchange. If you like anything, we can exchange. Or if you don't mind, I still have a dollar left."
As she said this, she took out the last dollar.
Manny refused and said, "The things you exchanged are all things you like. I exchanged one thing you like for another thing you like, but in the end you still have one less thing you like."
Then he took the dollar and said, "Let me take this dollar. Its value lies in your affirmation of me."
"Thank you, Manny." Zhang Wei said sincerely.
Manny is also a very good kid. Although he looks cold at ordinary times, he has never refused to help her.
It was only gradually that Zhang Wei realized that this boy, who armed himself with a cold appearance, actually had a soft heart.
It's a shame that he'll be going to boarding school in the UK alone after September. It seems like friends we've just gotten to know will soon be separated. This is the unpredictable nature of life...
In the end, Zhang Wei and Namier stayed with Manny until the final closing time, and it was a rare occasion for the three of them to take a car home together.
After dinner, the three of them shared their gains from the flea market with the Wilsons. When Wilson heard that Zhang Wei and Namier had both borrowed money from Manny, he additionally approved that he could provide $100 in purchasing funds for the next flea market.
"That's great!" Zhang Wei and Namier were both very surprised. They thought they could buy more things next time.
Zhang Wei was thinking that Chris's roses were finally saved. She just looked down from the bedroom and found that they were not as beautiful as they were at night. They were much sparser. She would not harm the flowers next time.
Zhang Wei carried the box upstairs and began to count her gains bit by bit.
There are three original books, a complete set of Spanish textbooks consisting of five books, and an atlas of plants from Country A. The printing is very beautiful, and just looking at the pictures is a pleasure.
The millet-sized pearl bracelet was really beautiful. There was a large teardrop-shaped lavender pearl hanging at the end of the clasp. However, it was a bit big for her to wear. After wrapping it around her wrist twice, it was still a bit too much. She tried to wear it around her neck, and sure enough, it was a necklace, not a bracelet.
What she was most looking forward to were the two chess sets. The chess pieces looked a bit old. The chessboard and pieces were black with a reddish color. They felt relatively smooth to the touch, and the Chinese characters on them were also relatively clear. Some of the pieces had some cracks, but there was not even a box to put them in. The pieces were just scattered in the box.
Zhang Wei rummaged through boxes and drawers and finally found a pastry box in which to put the chessboard and chess pieces.
