Chapter 386 - 386 Good Things
Thank you readers!
It was not worth mentioning.
Ye Xuan and Liu Yanran strolled around and looked around without much interest.
At this moment, a stall owner saw that the two of them looked imposing and were dressed differently. His eyes could not help but move slightly as he shouted at the two of them.
“Hey, Miss, you’re looking at ancient goods, right? I just got a few nice goods. Do you want to take a look? These are all authentic goods. Go ahead and choose!”
!!
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan was delighted. Wasn’t this so-called guarantee of authentic products a guarantee that the items were from the factory assembly line?
Then, he observed this boss.
This person was about 50 years old and was a little thin.
The eyebags under his eyes protruded from his face. He had sharp ears and monkey cheeks. He had a shifty look and looked sly.
He was wearing a brown cloth shirt with mud on it. One side of his pants was wrapped around his knees, and he was wearing cloth shoes. He looked like a country bumpkin.
Ye Xuan glanced at Liu Yanran and then at the boss. He smiled and spoke.
“What good stuff do you have? Tell me.”
The boss looked around, leaned closer, and whispered.
“You can’t see them here. If you really want to buy them, I can bring you there to take a look.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. Could they be ghost goods?
In the industry, ghost goods meant that they were dug out of tombs. To put it bluntly, they were used by tomb robbers to fence dispose of the stolen goods.
Looking at the boss’s outfit, he really looked like a tomb robber. He had a thief’s aura that could be smelled from afar.
However, Ye Xuan didn’t believe that there were still tomb robbers in this era. Most of them were liars. These people used these mysterious methods to bring customers over, but the ones they brought out were still fakes.
However, with that mysterious rendering, many people were easily fooled. They would not be too careful when investigating. Moreover, the boss would stop the customers. They would say that the item had just been dug out and they didn’t want it to be damaged. Thus, the customers would think that it was definitely real.
Because of this, many bosses tasted the sweetness and gradually spread this practice in the industry. Therefore, this method slowly developed.
When Liu Yanran heard the boss’s words, she was also a little worried. She didn’t know where they would be taken.
Hence, she asked Ye Xuan, “Young Master, are we going? It doesn’t feel good.”
Ye Xuan waved his hand. “Don’t worry. It’s fine to take a look.”
When the boss heard this, he thought that he had encountered a rich family. Without hesitation, he tugged at the clothes of the boss beside him and smiled.
“Boss Zhao, help me take care of it. I’ll go show the goods to the customers. If anyone comes to buy them, I’ll give you 20% of the profits as usual.”
Then, he strode out of the stall and pointed at the alley not far away.
“It’s not far away. Follow me closely. There are many people here.”
Then, he took the lead and walked in front. He looked back every three steps, afraid that Ye Xuan and Liu Yanran would disappear.
The crowd was crowded. Looking at the distance, it took some time to walk over.
The space in this hall was not bad. It was filled with bicycles, electric scooters, and so on. It was rare for anyone to walk past.
The boss looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to him. Then, he took out a package from the tailgate of the electric car and placed it on the ground.
Before opening the package, he stuck his head out again. After confirming that there was no one around, he opened the package in peace.
Seeing how nervous he was, Ye Xuan was a little puzzled. Could he really have ghost goods?
At this moment, the package had already been opened. The things inside were of various sizes. They were lying on the ground in twos and threes. There were about ten items.
Among them were blue and white porcelain pieces engraved with flowers, a jade plate with rough patterns, a bronze sword with inscriptions, prayer beads made of small rosewood, a jade bracelet with a dragon and phoenix on it, a crystal clear jade ruler, and so on.
Ye Xuan looked at these antiques. Because he had signed in for the divine-level appraisal ability, he could tell at a glance if they were real or fake.
With just a glance, Ye Xuan was overjoyed. He was so nervous and thought that the items were really fake. He didn’t expect it to be all fake. This boss was indeed a liar.
If the items was genuine, the ancient bronze sword with inscriptions would be enough for the boss to rot in prison.
As he was thinking, his eyes caught sight of an ancient coin scattered in the corner.
This coin had no holes and was light yellow in color. There were some words engraved on it. He saw the words “Kuping 7.2 yuan”.
Ye Xuan’s heart tightened and he exclaimed in his heart, “Is this it?!”
Therefore, he picked up the coin and pretended to play with it. He wiped the rust on the coin with all his might and even used his nails to scratch it, but the rust on the coin did not move.
Then, he took a closer look at the color of the coin. It was dark yellow with a faint silver color. The overall texture of the coin was relatively hard.
At this point, Ye Xuan already had a rough understanding. Right on the heels of that, he picked up the copper coin and sniffed it. As expected, he didn’t smell anything strange.
This coin was indeed the real “Double Dragon Longevity Coin”!
It was a rare treasure worth five million yuan. He did not expect to see it here. This thief still had good stuff.
Ye Xuan smiled in his heart and put the coin back. He pretended to look at the other fake goods for a while.
The boss was smoking at the side, his eyes darting around. He was probably thinking about how to extort money from them.
“How is it? These goods are not bad, right?”
When Ye Xuan heard his words, he didn’t continue looking. He stood up and looked at him.
“They’re all good stuff, but I can’t afford so much. Uncle, what can I buy for 200 yuan?”
Two hundred?
The boss was stunned for a moment. Then, he opened his right eye and looked at Liu Yanran.
At this moment, Ye Xuan also gave Liu Yanran a look. Seeing this, Liu Yanran immediately understood.
“Huh? Why are you only left with 200 yuan? Did you spend it on the game to buy skins again? I don’t have much money left. Mom didn’t give me much to begin with. You should use your money sparingly. If you spend it like this, it’ll be gone in two days.”
When the boss heard this, his expression became helpless.
...
She was dressed so well, but she didn’t have any money on her.
Hence, he rolled her eyes and spoke to Ye Xuan.
“What can you buy with 200 yuan? Sigh, just choose. Let me say this first. You can’t choose any of the good stuff.”
Ye Xuan smiled and said, “Then can I choose that coin?”
The boss looked at the coin and thought that it was not worth much, so he agreed.
“Alright, do you have cash, or are you using WeChat Pay or Alipay?”
“I’ll use WeChat Pay,” said Ye Xuan as he took out his phone and scanned the QR code.
“Beep! Tap, tap, tap… Alright, it’s over. Take a look.”
As Ye Xuan spoke, he took the coin and led Liu Yanran away.
