Chapter 8 Is she a sucker?
It was a small seal, orange-red in color with a hint of milky white, with patterns carved around it and a cute little bird carved into the top.
The magical thing is that this small seal has a faint blue mist attached to it.
This is rare.
After Zhu Suisui stabilized himself, he took the pony next to him and sat down.
This is what it means to be selective.
In this antique market, there are many hidden rules.
Zhu Suisui actually didn't know much, but in her previous life, she was the freest person in the Lu family, and Grandpa Lu liked her, so she would go to the Lu residence from time to time to accompany the old man.
My grandfather is old and has reached retirement age. When he has nothing to do at home, he likes to play with these things.
Of course, Mr. Lu is not an expert in these things. He is just a latecomer. The reason why he became interested in these things is mainly because he has a good friend named Mei. Mr. Mei was interested in these things when he was young and he has done some research on them.
After the reform and opening up, all the pension money was spent on this.
Not only do I have to spend it myself, I also have to bring some money with me.
Zhu Suisui had been with Mr. Lu for a long time, so naturally he heard a lot and had become so familiar with many of the rules that his ears were pierced with them.
Originally, Mr. Mei wanted to take her in the car, but Zhu Suisui was very frugal at that time and he couldn't make money, so he was not willing to spend money on this.
Zhu Suisui looked at the seal carefully, and there were two traditional Chinese characters engraved below it.
In fact, she couldn't see much of the inside story, after all, she was an outsider. She did listen to what Mr. Mei said.
But at that time, my whole heart was on Lu Lanxu, and I was only thinking about how to be a good wife of Lu, so naturally I didn't pay much attention to it.
But looking at it, it looks quite delicate and small. If it is cleaned thoroughly, it will have a unique charm.
After the baptism of her previous life, Zhu Suisui's inner core is no longer the country girl she used to be, and she has developed a certain aesthetic sense.
What she was more curious about now was why the seal had blue mist.
When I looked at the jade cup that Lu Lanxu gave me before, it was clearly filled with red mist. What was the underlying reason for this color change?
Zhu Suisui couldn't figure it out for a moment, but she had the idea of buying the seal.
She asked the price.
The stall owner saw that she was beautiful and well-dressed, and that she looked like a stranger who might not know much about the business, so he had other ideas in his mind.
He said, "This is a seal from the Qing Dynasty, five hundred yuan."
Nowadays, many people's salary is only 30 or 40 yuan. Even if you are at Lu Lanxu's level, it will take you three months to buy this seal.
This is definitely a high price.
Although Zhu Suisui is not an expert, he is not a fool after all.
What's more, she only had 500 yuan in her hand. If she spent it all, she wouldn't know if she could earn it back in a short time.
She deliberately said in disdain: "It's all covered with pulp, and it's placed at the bottom. It must have been there for a long time. I can only pay 200 yuan at most, otherwise forget it."
Only those who complain about the goods are the ones who buy them.
When the stall owner heard this, he was immediately delighted.
Although this thing is really a seal from the Qing Dynasty, there are many such seals. When there are too many things, the rarity of the thing is gone. Antiques are also valued based on their rarity. The more unique the thing is, the higher the price it can be sold for.
If someone knows about this seal, they won't even look at it.
Even if I really wanted to buy it, I could only sell it for a few dozen yuan, but the stall owner thought the price was too cheap. After all, it was a seal from the Qing Dynasty. Although I didn't know where it came from, it was still an antique.
Because of this, the stall owner has not been able to sell out.
It's been here for a while.
Unexpectedly, such a sucker came today.
It's really a big win.
The stall owner had to continue the show, and said in embarrassment: "You female comrade, you bargained down the price of a 500 yuan item to 200 yuan, you are really mean. Let's take a step back and be sincere, how about 350 yuan?"
Is she the one with a bad heart, or is the stall owner the one with a bad heart?
Zhu Suisui muttered to himself.
She figured that if she really wanted to buy the seal, she could still bargain. Otherwise, the stall owner's reaction would just make her leave quickly instead of continuing to bargain with her.
This shows that he can actually accept my price.
Then the value of this seal is definitely not more than two hundred yuan.
However, I have already quoted a price. If I try to bargain it down further, it would mean I don’t understand the rules of the industry.
Zhu Suisui insisted, "It's just two hundred yuan, I won't sell it."
Zhu Suisui felt that she had already suffered a loss and was determined not to continue suffering losses, so she set her sights on 200 yuan.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to give in and was about to leave, the stall owner hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, since you are my first customer today, I will sell it to you for 200 yuan."
The deal was done for two hundred dollars.
Seeing that the stall owner couldn't stop smiling, Zhu Suisui didn't care. He took the seal and put it away carefully.
She had no intention of continuing her stroll.
It’s getting late. It’ll take some time to get to Lu’s house from here.
After all, this is the third ring road of the old city, and it is a relatively remote place. And most importantly, this form of cultural relics display is not allowed openly now, and the Cultural Relics Bureau may come to check, so she has to be careful.
But I just took a few steps.
A voice came over.
"I want five hundred for this seal of yours. Can you sell it to me?"
Hearing this.
Zhu Suisui looked over in surprise.
In the afterglow of sunset.
An expressionless face appeared before my eyes. The man was about 1.80 meters tall, well-dressed, and very handsome. His peach blossom eyes were clearly affectionate, but because his black eyes were emotionless, he seemed a bit cold.
At this moment, the man was looking at her with his lips pursed.
Are you talking to yourself?
The other party seemed to have heard what he was thinking and spoke again, "Six hundred dollars."
Zhu Suisui finally realized that the other party also liked this seal.
However, she had just seen the blue mist on the seal and had not yet figured out what was going on, so she naturally would not sell it.
She had a hunch.
This seal is worth a lot of money.
Zhu Suisui replied: "Sorry, I don't sell it."
Hearing this.
The cold man frowned and spoke sparingly: "One thousand."
Zhu Suisui felt that there was something wrong with this person. He had already said he didn't want to sell it, but he continued to bid.
She refused again, "Even if you offer 10,000, I won't sell it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, she left without caring what the psychopath said.
As soon as Zhu Suisui left, a girl of about eighteen or nineteen ran over, pouted at the man and said with disgust.
"Brother Ziqing, this place is so boring. Most of the things here are from the late Qing Dynasty. They are not worth much. Let's go quickly. We have to go to Uncle Lu's house for dinner tonight."
After saying this, he found that Yan Ziqing was looking into the distance. Naturally, he looked in the direction of his sight in confusion, but he could only see the back of a person wrapped in a large cotton jacket.
"Brother Ziqing, what are you looking at?"
Yan Ziqing withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Nothing."
