MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 37 Great first

Besides, Li Xiaoshuai's young couple, after getting rid of Thiago's entanglement, continued to sweep the streets.

At a booth specializing in selling ordinary jewelry, Li Xiaoshuai saw a good string of tourmaline bracelets, and spent 300 yuan to buy it and bring it for her by himself.

Moving two steps, at the next stall, the stall owner saw Li Xiaoshuai's bulging pockets long ago. As soon as he came over, he shouted, "Friend, I have a set of antique silver cutlery here, do you want it?"

"Let's take a look first."

Li Xiaoshuai knows that in the United States, old objects over 50 years old can be called antiques, so Li Xiaoshuai does not care.

Taking out the silver cutlery, Li Xiaoshuai knew at a glance that this set of cutlery was far more than 50 years old. I took a plate and turned it on the bottom, and saw the manufacturer, year of manufacture, and silver content engraved on it.

The manufacturer is a time-honored manufacturer in London, the year of manufacture is 1902, the silver content is 90%, and the standard standard is a fine product of a regular manufacturer.

Counting with his eyes, Li Xiaoshuai saw a total of six sets.

He thought about himself and Elaine, his uncle and brother Sean, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law. There were exactly six of them. He wanted to buy this set of plates as a gift for his mother-in-law.

Her old man is of French descent, and she also needs to pay attention to the mood when she eats a meal. She also pays attention to eating fine and delicate, and the food is matched with beautiful utensils. I like this kind of tone the most.

"How much?"

"The fair price is $300 for a set of six. If you want all of them, just give 1,500."

Elaine also asked, what are you buying this for?

"Give it to your mother for our family to eat in the future."

All this was seen by a stall owner next door. He said to his heart that this Rabbit native was so rich, he took out 1,500 yuan without blinking an eye.

When he saw Li Xiaoshuai walking in front of him, he called to him diligently: "Friend, I have two very beautiful rabbit country carvings here. I wonder if you are interested?"

After the stall owner finished speaking, he spread out his two palms. At this sight, Li Xiaoshuai's eyes could not be pulled out.

"Yes, Not Bad."

This is a pair of little dolls carved out of pure red agate. Each little figure is as big as the palm of an adult's hand, and each of the little figures also holds a lotus leaf with stems on each hand to shade them from the sun.

Li Xiaoshuai is still very proficient in carving and jewelry. According to the jargon of the Rabbit Country, this pair of carvings should be called Jihe Boys, and the carvings are very good.

The two boys were chubby, with a small bun on the top of their heads, chubby faces, and a mischievous smile.

One boy is holding the lotus leaf on the left, and the other is on the right. Putting these two boys together, even those who don't understand, can see that they should be a pair.

Fu Dada's appearance can be said to be cute, very playful and lively.

Sweep it with a perspective eye, it shows that it is "carved on agate made by rabbits; made in the Wanli year of the Ming Dynasty; boy holding lotus."

"Oh, it's still an antique." Li Xiaoshuai liked it more and more. He said, "What a cute little guy, how much is it?"

"Hmm; um" the stall owner pondered and said, "$500."

Elaine was furious, "What, this is just a nice looking stone, is it more expensive than the tourmaline in my hand?"

She also showed the tourmaline bracelet on her hand to the stall owner, saying that it was only 300 yuan, and your pair of worthless broken stones cost 500 yuan. Are you crazy or stupid?

Li Xiaoshuai: "Yes, the stall owner is too greedy, I think 50 yuan is enough."

He was stubbornly biting the stall owner who didn't know the goods, so he dared to charge this price.

The stall owner took the villain in front of Li Xiaoshuai and said that this pair of villains is beautifully carved, it is a work of art, and 50 yuan is too low.

Elaine came again, she pointed at Li Xiaoshuai, and said that he just studied art, he could also carve such things, and the price of 50 yuan has reached the top.

Her firm attitude really stunned the stall owner.

Li Xiaoshuai was very satisfied when he saw it, and said in his heart that my wife and I are in the same spirit, seamless, and with him; shopping is much easier.

"Yeah, this is just an ordinary stone carving, and what I like about it is its craftsmanship."

The stall owner looked at the tourmaline in the female customer's hand, and then looked at the pair of unknown stone carvings in his hand. He racked his brains and couldn't think of anything to refute.

"Um, 50 yuan is too low, how about 100 yuan?"

"55!"

The last transaction was 65 yuan.

At such a cheap price, I can receive a pair of agate carvings from the Wanli Year of the Rabbit Country, which is definitely a bargain.

After paying the money, the stall owner said, "I still have something from Rabbit Country. It looks quite old. If you like it, I can also transfer it to you."

When the object was taken out, Li Xiaoshuai's heart paused for a while, and his ability showed: "Rabbit domestic lacquerware, Yuan Dynasty, rhinoceros lacquer box."

From the Yuan Dynasty, this is the oldest antique he has encountered.

This lacquer ware square box is ten centimeters in size, and it is full of carved floral decorations on the top, bottom, left, and right sides, interspersed with indistinct cracks.

Where the carving is made, the outermost layer is a layer of red paint, and the bottom is black paint. Open the lid and there is a small compartment inside that can be taken out.

Li Xiaoshuai still pretended to be confused, and asked the stall owner if he knew what this was for?

The stall owner shook his head, and Li Xiaoshuai told him that it was made of paint. It is still about 100 years old. The craftsmanship is still possible, and it has a taste of the classical aesthetics of the Rabbit Country.

"Ah, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com is actually made of paint." Li Xiaoshuai made a half-truth and half-truth, and the stall owner threw away the "chopping knife" that was originally held high.

Li Xiaoshuai must be right, lacquerware can also be interpreted as paint, but he just didn't say that the lacquerware box has a history of hundreds of years.

"It's 10 yuan," Li Xiaoshuai said lightly, with an all-encompassing attitude on his face, as if he didn't like it very much.

"Okay, it's not bad that this chemical can be sold for 10 yuan." Elaine's divine assist came again.

This assist was like a big stick that stunned the stall owner. His mouth opened and closed, but he didn't say a word for a long time. After struggling for a long time, he finally said, "30 yuan."

Li Xiaoshuai counter-offered to 25.

This is a necessary procedure. If he is too impatient and agrees, maybe the stall owner will regret it and sell the lacquer box at a high price.

Elaine continued to assist, saying that 20 yuan is enough, 20 must be!

While paying the money, Li Xiaoshuai still said in his heart that he was lucky today. A pair of Wanli-year agate villains cost 65 yuan. This Yuan Dynasty lacquer box is cheaper and only cost 20 yuan.

Holding the lacquer box and turning to leave, a mandarin sentence suddenly came from behind: "Little brother, walk slowly."

Li Xiaoshuai turned around and saw that it was the rich man with a bodyguard that he met when he bought breakfast in the morning. He cautiously put the lacquer box into his backpack, and asked in Mandarin, "What's the matter?"

The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you, I just want to invite you for a drink and chat."

After finishing speaking, he waved to the two bodyguards who were a few steps away from him, indicating that they should go further, which was also showing goodwill to Li Xiaoshuai, indicating that he really did not mean anything.

"Ok."
