Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Just as Lin Ran knelt down to take a closer look, the stall owner suddenly spoke, "Little brother, are you interested in ancient jade?"

The stall owner is a middle-aged man with dark and rough skin, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and a head full of gray hair tell the story of his hard work.

Lin Ran did not immediately answer the stall owner's inquiry.

Experience tells him that when picking up leaks, he must not let the other party see his needs.

Especially this kind of mixed stall, which has all kinds of antiques, and there is more room for negotiation!

The antique stall owner has a very discerning eye. Once he finds out that a buyer is interested in something, he will definitely give a high price.

Lin Ran whispered: "Just taking a look."

"Just take a look? Hey, friend, you are in the right place." The stall owner slowly stood up and said generously: "There are so many good things in my stall, you can choose whatever you want."

Lin Ran and Yuan Qianyun stopped talking to him. Yuan Qianyun wanted to see the jade in it, but Lin Ran told her in a low voice: "Don't reveal your intentions yet, we will look at it later."

Yuan Qianyun smiled knowingly and flipped through the ancient books on the stall.

The stall owner was still bragging: "I'm not bragging. Last week, a gentleman bought a jade ring from my stall for 50 yuan. Then he turned around and sold it to Liulicang for 300 yuan. This matter, the whole thing Everyone in Panjiayuan knows it.”

"So, if you want to pick up treasures, just come to my stall. Hey, to put it bluntly, I am an expert at finding treasures."

Lin Ran laughed out loud after hearing this: "Boss, there's no need to be modest. Most of the things you sell at the stall are sold at shabby prices. What treasures can you miss? Moreover, in the entertainment circle, this is common. Otherwise, how can everyone pick up the leaks?"

Seeing that Lin Ran's answer was very professional, the stall owner pretended to be displeased and said, "Okay, since you said so, you can just look at it."

It can be heard from his answer that his desire to close a deal is not high.

Stall owners don't like to deal with this kind of customers the most, because even if they like something, they will always haggle.

Suddenly he lost interest, sat back on the stool, picked up a novel and started reading.

Seeing the stall owner's behavior, Lin Ran and Yuan Qianyun looked at each other.

Now that they could see what they wanted, the two squatted down and looked at the jade in the stall.

Yuan Qianyun picked up a jade bracelet and asked, "What do you think of this jade bracelet?"

Lin Ran took it and took a look. It looked like an ice jade bracelet with fluttering flowers.

But when I hold it in my hand, the texture feels rough, there are some scratches on the surface, and the quality is relatively light.

Obviously, it is not a real small ice jade!

"This is not a jade bracelet, it is a fake made of water foam jade." Lin Ran put the bracelet back on the stall.

On the surface, the stall owners seemed to be reading novels, but in fact they were paying attention to their every move.

After hearing this, he put down the book in his hand and glanced at Lin Ran.

"Little brother, you can eat randomly, but don't talk nonsense, but the jade bracelet from the Guangxu period can cost dozens of dollars."

"Come on." Lin Ran replied, "This bracelet does look a bit old, but that doesn't change the fact that it's made of water. If it's not valuable, it's not valuable."

The stall owner glanced at Lin Ran, who was wearing a peaked cap and standing next to a slim girl.

He instantly felt that the man in front of him sounded a bit like Lin Xiaojia, but he could not confirm his identity.

But he felt it, at least he had a learned man in front of him.

Being able to tell the difference between real and fake jade in a short time is rare in Panjiayuan.

He stopped selling goods and continued to read.

The jade products in this guy's stall were either fake or defective. It was obvious that they were rags collected from some rural nook.

Yuan Qianyun showed several treasures to Lin Ran in succession, but they were all deemed to be worthless goods.

She suddenly lost interest and said, "Lin Ran, how about we go somewhere else?"

"Okay." Lin Ran replied falsely, but his eyes were already attracted by an old object on the stall.

In the corner of the stall, there is a yellow-white turtle with its neck stretched forward, its head slightly raised, its back protruding, and its limbs flexed and clawed like a crawler.

Basically, it doesn't look like jade from the outside. Instead, it looks like a piece of bluestone with poor light transmittance.

Maybe because of this, the boss didn't pay much attention to it and placed it casually in the corner of the stall.

Because no one is interested in bluestone carvings, the boss may have just taken advantage of it and put it together with jade sculptures.

Lin Ran picked it up. In addition to the lifelike turtle patterns on the back, the abdomen was extremely smooth. Unfortunately, it was full of mud, which made it lose its luster.

After a little rubbing, you can feel the natural and graceful look.

Lin Ran pretended to examine the turtle shell casually, but he was already excited inside.

Isn't this a ruby ​​turtle?

I roughly compared the size, it was fifteen centimeters long, ten centimeters wide, and weighed one kilogram.

It is exactly the same as the red jade turtle that was collected in the Hongliao Ancient Jade Museum in its previous life.

Yuan Qianyun saw Lin Ran picking up the bluestone turtle shell and asked in confusion: "Lin Ran, you don't want to give this to my grandma, do you?"

"Shh." Lin Ran made a gesture to Yuan Qianyun in a low voice, and then asked loudly, "Second Miss, doesn't the turtle at home lack a toy? How about buying back this turtle shell?"

The stall owner raised his head when he heard this.

Someone actually wanted to buy that bluestone turtle shell, which looked like jade, but after many customers identified it, it was just an ordinary stone.

But he still laughed: "Sir, you really have a good eye. This jade turtle shell is perfect for using to ward off evil spirits in the house. In Chinese culture, turtles usually represent longevity..."

Seeing that he was about to brag again, Lin Ran interrupted him: "Why are you talking so much? I just want to buy a toy for the second lady's turtle. Please give me a price."

"Such a big piece of jade should cost at least 100 yuan." The stall owner sat on the ground and raised the price.

Yuan Qianyun was not interested in the turtle shell to begin with, so he widened his eyes and said, "Is it so expensive? Just go grab it."

"Then tell me a price."

"Fifty." Yuan Qianyun said.

"Second Miss, you are too unworldly. For a tortoise shell of this level, I would go to Shengshi Craftsmanship and buy the same brand-new product for only 50 yuan." Of course Lin Ran would not pay such a high price to pick something up.

Maybe Yuan Qianyun doesn't care about money, but since he is in the trap, he has only one purpose.

--make money!

The stall owner slapped his thigh: "Little brother, this thing is different from the imitations of Shengshi Craftsmanship."

"What's the difference? This isn't the real thing." Lin Ranhao didn't give in.

The stall owner was at a loss for words, and he couldn't tell the origin of the bluestone turtle shell.

Anyway, he collected it from the countryside for a few dollars, and he just sold it at a suitable price.

"Then how much do you want to pay?"

"Five dollars, no more!"
