When the elderly woman and her group of five arrived at their destination, the sun was already half-set.
Those who traveled with them had already found things that interested them.
The old woman's eyes flickered. "Eldest brother, let's go over there too!"
"good."
The group of five rushed over with swift steps.
"Mother, what about us...?"
"Shut up and stick close to your mother!" the old woman stopped her son.
The old woman looked around twice and spotted a familiar figure: "Let's go over there."
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked over, with four burly men quickly following behind.
"Brother, what a coincidence!" Aunt Bu patted a familiar figure and smiled kindly.
When the familiar figure turned around, he realized he really did recognize him.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
"Come and take a look." The old woman's eyes lit up as she looked at the bearded man opposite her.
The familiar figure was one of the other middlemen traveling together. Although he was dissatisfied with the old woman's actions, he seemed to have some reservations and didn't say anything.
“Mr. Miles, here is what you requested.”
"........"
"........"
The old lady, oblivious to the situation, stood to the side, watching the two discuss business and learning along the way.
After reviewing the transaction, she had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
This place is a kind of unconventional black market.
The only difference is that the two parties in the transaction are of different nationalities.
Furthermore, the currency used for transactions here is not money, but rather the special products of each country.
For example, in the transaction just now, tea was exchanged for gemstones.
However, after looking around, she discovered that most people had brought food.
After a moment's thought, she understood.
It was just a coincidence.
The neighboring countries didn't need that much food, but they were in a critical situation.
And since it coincided with their country's rapid development, they were entitled to take advantage of the situation.
However, Bu Ling's eyes darted around, she pulled Lao Fang aside and whispered something to him for a moment, then took out her dirty bowl from her bundle.
After a quick glance around, he decided on a sucker.
"How much are the gems?" The mean-spirited old woman pointed to the gems in the sucker's hand.
The gullible man scrutinized the raggedly dressed old woman with a critical eye, then said, "Good teacher, please wait."
Aunt Bu was even more picky than him, and scoffed, "Grain? Why would someone bring this stuff all this way, acting like a fool?"
She said haughtily, "I heard you also collect old items?"
The sucker was clearly not a first-timer in this kind of business. He understood Chinese, and his eyes lit up when he heard this: "You have?"
Aunt Bu's expression became even more haughty as she pulled a dirty bowl from her bosom: "Look, do you see this? This is an old item passed down from my ancestors!"
Under the warm glow of the setting sun, the dirty bowl, in the eyes of the gullible man, transformed into the unique charm of an old object. However, he wasn't stupid and insisted on inspecting the goods.
Aunt Bu hesitated for a moment, but still reluctantly handed it over: "Be careful, if you break it, I'll never forgive you!"
As for whether this person would run away with her bowl, Aunt Bu said she wasn't worried at all.
Judging from the appearance of this place, it's not some unregulated organization; there must be someone in charge, and if there's someone in charge, then there must be rules.
Even if they took her bowl and ran away, she wouldn't have suffered a great loss. After all, it really was a broken bowl, which she had picked up from the junkyard on her way there.
"This is no good stuff." The sucker took the bowl and wiped it again and again, but it was still dirty and yellowish. He glared angrily at the old woman.
To his surprise, Aunt Bu was even angrier than him: "You're talking nonsense!"
He let out a loud shout that carried far, attracting the attention of people nearby.
Aunt Bu didn't care at all, pointing at the gullible man's nose and spitting as she said, "You foreign devil, you don't know what you're missing! This is a genuine, high-quality item, an old artifact passed down from the palace, our family heirloom."
The sucker was made to doubt himself by Aunt Bu's strong reaction.
Although he collects these old items, he merely passes them on to large landowners who genuinely appreciate them.
I have the ability to appreciate these things, but I'm not an expert in them.
While the gullible man was still doubting himself, Granny Bu's cursing grew more and more intense, and then she snatched the dirty bowl away:
"My precious treasure, I won't sell it to people who don't know its value."
With that, she turned to leave: "Boss, let's go!"
Old Fang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly followed the old woman away.
"Deng Deng!"
Grandma Bu turned a deaf ear.
The sucker quickly stepped forward and blocked Aunt Bu's way: "Ding ding!"
Aunt Bu raised an eyebrow: "What?" Her tone was sharp: "Didn't you say you didn't care about my treasure?"
Seeing that Aunt Bu's tone was unfriendly, the sucker smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Madam, I was just joking with you."
The old woman's triangular eyes narrowed: "Too late, I don't want to sell to you now!"
She was just testing the waters with the broken bowl; if someone knew its value, they would have let it go.
If not, wouldn't that be like getting something for nothing, how wonderful?
"Madam, please..."
"Isn't this a celadon bowl with intricate patterns from the Yuan Dynasty?" A surprised exclamation came from the side.
A barely perceptible smile flashed in the old woman's eyes as she turned around. "You know your stuff!"
The newcomers were none other than Captain Xu and his group. Huang Yuming's acting skills were also quite remarkable: "Auntie, do you sell this bowl?"
Grandma Bu raised her chin, her nostrils flaring: "You want it?"
"I really want it! This is a rare and precious item."
The old woman glanced at the sucker and said, "Name your price!"
