Chapter 138



138 Fancy An Old Bowl

Gu Man’s purpose in coming to the ghost market tonight was very simple. She wanted to earn money by reselling.

Therefore, when Jiang Yi said that they were going to the antique street, Gu Man readily agreed. The antique street was the busiest street in the ghost market. Many people were holding small flashlights in their hands and showing off their abilities to identify the goods.

They walked and stopped. In front of a stall, the boss shouted, “Yo, isn’t this Brother Jiang?”

When Gu Man heard the voice, she looked at the person who spoke and saw that it was a young man. His exaggerated style of soliciting business seemed out of place in the ghost market.

Gu Man seriously suspected that he was also operating a stall here during the day, so he used the way he sold goods during the day to sell at the ghost market at night.

Jiang Yi replied in a low voice, “Boss Du, what good stuff is there today?”

Du Fei seized the opportunity and immediately started to introduce it. “Look, this porcelain. Although it looks ordinary, it’s a treasure of the Ming Dynasty. And look at this jade ring. It came from the Song Dynasty’s palace. And this jade belt. Tsk, that was worn by the thirteenth prince of the Qing Dynasty…”

Gu Man saw many people looking at them from the side. She didn’t know if it was because the antiques he mentioned were really attractive or because they found this boss too noisy.

Judging from their expressions, it should be the latter.

Those who came to the Ghost Market to buy antiques treated the boss’s recommendation as taboo.

What was the difference between this introduction and going to a regular shop to buy in the day? Why would they not sleep in the middle of the night and come here to listen to a boss talk tall?

Moreover, some people who came to the ghost market liked the subtle feeling of slowly sifting through all the goods.

Seeing that Du Fei still wanted to take out other goods to introduce, Gu Man snorted. “You’re bluffing us because you think we don’t know what’s good. You specially chose these street imitations to introduce to us.”

Du Fei looked up when he heard the voice. Seeing that it was the face of a young girl, he wanted to curse, but his voice suddenly lowered. “Beauty, don’t spout nonsense. This is a real treasure.”

“Is that so? How can we identify that this ceramic is from the Ming Dynasty?” Gu Man asked calmly.

“I… I’m relying on you guys to appraise it. If I tell you the method later, won’t you suspect that my method is wrong? I don’t want to waste my effort.”

Gu Man looked at his expression and knew that this Boss Du was an antique idiot. She snorted and said, “Then shut up.”

Du Fei was not angry. He winked at Jiang Yi and said softly, “Your girlfriend has a personality.”

Jiang Yi almost wanted to cover his mouth when he heard that. He said embarrassedly, “She’s not my girlfriend. She’s just a classmate.”

Gu Man couldn’t be bothered with him. She squatted down and looked through a pile of jade and porcelain. Just as she was getting impatient, a dirty green-white bowl attracted Gu Man’s attention.

She picked up the bowl and looked at it. She raised it in front of Du Fei and asked, “How much is this?”

“This?” Du Fei looked at the plain bowl and rolled his eyes. “For Brother Jiang’s sake, I’ll charge you 10,000 yuan. This is the real deal. A rich family gave it to me when they were down and out. I’m in a hurry to sell it because I need money. Otherwise, I won’t even sell it for 100,000 yuan.”

“Deal,” Gu Man said calmly.

“Okay, beautiful women are so decisive. Just swipe your card.” Du Fei quickly took out his POS machine.

When Jiang Yi saw that Gu Man was about to pay 10,000 yuan without even blinking, he quickly persuaded, “Look again and slowly study it. This is 10,000 yuan. It’s not cheap.”

Du Fei was unhappy. “Brother Jiang, it’s wrong of you to say that. Sometimes, antiques are all about fate. This beauty took a fancy to it at first glance, which means that she’s fated with this bowl. If you miss it, it’s gone.”

Seeing that Jiang Yi still wanted to persuade her, Gu Man said calmly, “It’s fine. I like it.”

“That’s right. Come, come, come. Swipe your card. You can take this bowl.” Du Fei quickly let Gu Man swipe her card.

Jiang Yi looked at Du Fei’s anxious expression and guessed that Gu Man must have been deceived.

But when he saw Gu Man calmly swipe her card, he was helpless.

When Du Fei saw that Gu Man had swiped her card. He had earned so much on his first deal tonight, he was happy and continued to promote. “Let’s see what other treasures you like. I’ll give them to you at a low price.”

Jiang Yi was afraid that Gu Man would really take a fancy to something again, so he hurriedly urged Gu Man to look at the next shop.
