Chapter 35 Cunning
"Just chatting. You just said you didn't know her home address, but she told me, No. 66, Xian'an Road. How come you couldn't find it?"

He Fanzhi narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly: "She said that was her home? It's clearly the home of an illegitimate child."

Ding Xuan was shocked and angry: "She actually lied to me?! I thought she was a good person."

"You are too naive, Xuanxuan."

Ding Xuan's disappointment turned into anger: "I will question her when I find her address. How can a person be like this?"

He Fanzhi smiled coldly: "She is with an illegitimate child, how can she be a good person? If you find the address, tell me and I will question her for you. Next time you see her, don't get close to her, be careful not to be led astray by her."

"Listen to you."

Li Yingtang carefully left his bicycle in a safe place, then took a minibus to stop near the black market and walked to his destination.

This time she didn't take out a cigarette, so the guy waved his hand to let her in and enthusiastically blew a hooligan whistle at her.

Li Yingtang had no way of bothering with him, so he glared at him and went straight to Mr. Luo Sanye's stall.

Mr. Luo San recognized her: "You bought two pieces of jade from me last time. Did you get rich?" The way she was dressed and her overall demeanor made him believe that her father was the top official in Yanjing.

Li Yingtang's eyes revealed cunning, and she calmly lifted her hair and said proudly, "Yes, thanks to you, I won't have to worry for three years if I help you."

Mr. Luo San felt heartache. After the damn girl left, he thought more and more that something was wrong. He realized belatedly that she had tricked him.

He was angry at the time and didn't look at the goods carefully.

I didn't notice what she bought.

Later I comforted myself, how could someone be so conscientious at such a young age?
She is just a stupid fool.

Who knows...

But the goods have already been sold, and he can't care about it anymore.

Otherwise, if it gets out and people know about it, he will not only lose his dignity but also his face.

"What do you want to buy this time?" Mr. Luo gritted his teeth.

"Just take a look." Li Yingtang took out a flashlight and started to look. The goods were not very good. "Hey, you really don't have any treasures. Forget it, I'll go look somewhere else."

"Who said I don't have treasures at home? I have treasures galore." Mr. Luo opened the box, revealing jade vessels of various styles: "You pick." If he could be fooled by a young girl like her again this time, he would not be named Luo.

Li Yingtang picked them all.

There were two things that pleased her most.

The same white jade cup, the same hand-carved white snuff bottle.

But the material of the snuff bottle was not the jade she was familiar with, and she couldn't tell what material it was made of.

There is a seal at the bottom, which vaguely looks like the word "Qian", but the writing of this "Qian" is not quite right.

She couldn't really tell whether it was an antique or not.

However, this carving is definitely valuable, as the ancient trees and bright moon on it are lifelike.

But she had no idea how much it was worth.

Try your luck.

"How much are these two?" she asked.

"three hundred."

Li Yingtang put it down silently: "I have to think about thirty, and three hundred. How much is this red bracelet?" It looks pretty when worn, and the smell is a bit pungent. Was it just made last week?

"One hundred." Master Luo San stretched out a finger.

"Cheaper." Li Yingtang showed a happy expression.

"That will cost eighty too." said Mr. Luo.

Li Yingtang put it down again: "It's too expensive."

Mr. Luo San asked, "How much do you want?"

As soon as Li Yingtang heard this, she knew that this string of beads was a low-quality counterfeit product, mixed with the real thing and sold as the real thing. The purchase price was at most three cents, and only the fools would be fooled. "Thirty." Without waiting for Mr. Luo San to answer, she said, "I suddenly feel that thirty is also a loss. Otherwise, you can give up the white jade cup."

Mr. Luo was alert. The girl ordered the white jade cup twice, so it was most likely a top-grade product. "No, the white jade cup is 400 yuan, not a cent less."

Li Yingtang knew that he would raise the price: "Just now two items were only three hundred, and in the time it takes to talk, each one is four hundred?"

"My stuff, I can sell it however I want, if you don't want to buy it, forget it." Li Yingtang gritted his teeth and said, "Make it cheaper."

"At least three hundred and ninety."

Li Yingtang talked to him for a long time, but Mr. Luo Sanye refused to give in.

Li Yingtang reluctantly took his eyes off the white jade cup: "I didn't bring enough money today, you can wait for me to get it when I get home."

Mr. Luo Sanye's expression was faintly excited. Go home and get it?

That's good.

When she came again, he continued to raise the price.

Li Yingtang turned around to leave, and Mr. Luo San asked, "Don't you want your red bead anymore?"

"I thought about it and thirty is too expensive. You asked for an exorbitant price for a white jade cup. Otherwise, give me the snuff bottle. I'm going to give it to my grandfather." Li Yingtang stared at the white jade cup while speaking.

Mr. Luo thought, the snuff bottle was five yuan, and the red bracelet, a fake agate, was not worth more than three cents. Thirty yuan, he could make some money. "Okay." What a sucker!

Li Yingtang handed over the money with one hand and received the goods with the other.

Once you leave the black market, run away.

Silly old man! The only thing she cared about was the snuff bottle.

The white jade cup is indeed of good quality and is very common in the market. I was planning to buy it for myself to drink tea with, but who knew the old man would sell it for such a high price.

She has three hundred and ninety, why not buy something?
Are you crazy? Buy a cup to drink water.

Li Yingtang took back his bicycle and brought the snuff bottle into Boss Gu's shop.

After earning money from her, Boss Gu was very enthusiastic towards her: "Miss Li, you are here to ship goods again."

"Why would I come to you if you don't have anything to sell?" Li Yingtang took out the snuff bottle and said, "Help me see how much this snuff bottle is worth."

The old man examined the board and said after a long while, "I'll give you three hundred and fifty."

Li Yingtang had expected a price of 150 yuan, and was surprised and delighted to hear that. This bet was right. "Add a little more."

"We are old acquaintances. I will give you the highest price. Please consider it."

Li Yingtang: "Four hundred yuan, I'll sell it to you if you can afford it."

Boss Gu hesitated for a long time and said, "Four hundred is fine. The extra money will be treated to a feast for you."

"No problem." After Li Yingtang got the money, he asked, "How is this thing valuable?"

Boss Gu almost spit out his tea. So she only knew it was a snuff bottle and had no idea of its origin?

He lost four hundred yuan, he should have paid one hundred yuan. He felt a pang of pain, but he did not forget to explain: "Snuff bottles made of beeswax are rare in the market, but what is really valuable is the official seal under the workmanship."

"Is it really from the Qianlong period?"

Boss Gu nodded.

Li Yingtang felt that he had suffered a loss and should ask for another fifty.

But there is no room for regret in a deal, so just take it as a lesson.

With the money in his pocket, he said goodbye to Boss Gu, walked out of the shop, got on his bicycle, but was stopped by him.

"Wait! Why isn't the lotus seat on the back of your car coming out?"

"If you want it, three hundred." Li Yingtang didn't want to sell it and asked for a price without thinking.

"Okay, give it to me."

Li Yingtang: "." A lotus seat for three hundred? She got out of the car and looked at it carefully, confirming that it was just an ordinary stone sculpture. She was afraid that if she was late for a second, the other party would regret it: "Deal."

After receiving the money, Li Yingtang asked, "Does this lotus seat have any history?"

"Looking at the rest of the color and craftsmanship, this is an object from the Tang Dynasty and has a certain collection value. However, only people who worship Buddha would want it. The price I'm giving you is quite appropriate." Boss Gu said.

Once you buy this thing, it won't be easy to sell it in the short term.

I can only wait for the right person, and then it is possible that three hundred will become six hundred, or six thousand.
