Yang Bo got off the bus and walked along the street, looking around at the familiar environment around him and feeling somewhat rueful in his heart. Back then, he had never thought that he would be able to do this step.
Walking into a small alley not far from Gu De Zhai, Yang Bo saw a man in his thirties with a cloth bag tied around his waist.
Yang Bo only took a glance, and didn't mind them at all. He had encountered this kind of stall before, so he didn't set up the stall honestly, but rather walked through many streets and alleys to attract the attention of the buyers with an extremely mysterious posture. Then, he tried to rope in the buyers.
"Little brother, do you want to buy an inkstone?"
Just as Yang Bo was about to walk over, he was stopped by the other party. The other party was holding onto an ink stone and was using the corners of his clothes to protect himself.
No need." Yang Bo took a glance and saw that the ink stone was as black as ink, with a black surface covered with a lot of soil. With just a glance, Yang Bo could tell that this was a "fake", and it was obvious that it was made from old dirt.
"Brother, take a look. I still have quite a few!" The other party was still not willing to give up, and quickly took a piece from his pocket and handed it over to Yang Bo.
Yang Bo didn't even look at it, he just shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't have the money to buy it."
Faang Yuan carefully looked at Yang Bo, as though he wanted to confirm something, but his mouth said casually: "Brother, those words, those who appear on the antique street, how can they not have money?"
Yang Bo took a glance and noticed that the other party was holding a peach shaped ink stone in his hand. The ink stone was one of the four famous ink stones produced in Zou Qing City, Cantonese Province, "Let me take a look at this piece of ink stone."
Seeing that Yang Bo finally did not refuse, Faang Yuan was very happy and quickly passed over the levelled ink stone.
Yang Bo carefully observed the ink stone, the entire thing had a peach shape, its shape was small and exquisite, the top of the ink stone had a few peach leaves engraved on it, the ink stone pond was formed from the peach leaves, the ink stone was light and flat, the entire thing seemed to have been completed in one breath.
Yang Bo did not get the chance to touch the Crystal Stone before, even though he knew a little about its characteristics, it was not good for him to appraise modern Stone Stones. Flipping open the inkstone, he saw that at the bottom, there was an inscription of the Master of Qing Xue Village.
"How much is this inkstone?" Yang Bo asked while squinting his eyes at the inkstone.
"One hundred thousand." Faang Yuan opened his mouth to speak, but did not forget to explain, "There are already very few Sky Stones, the stone mines are dried up, the output of the Sky Stone is extremely low, many of the Sky Stones are no longer orthodox, even the best of the Sky Stones are not in the hands of us ordinary people, this Sky Stone is produced around the middle stage of the Qing Dynasty, it is very rare!"
Light flashed in front of Yang Bo's eyes, and the halo slowly gathered at the center of the ink stone. Before the faint halo had formed, Yang Bo had already expected it would happen, but after seeing the shape of the halo, he had already given up.
He handed the peach-shaped ink stone back. "It's too expensive, I can't afford it."
Faang Yuan was startled, he did not expect Yang Bo to have such a reaction, after all, businessmen all understood the principle of asking for a sky-high price to return the money, but after awkwardly laughing for a while, he took out an ink stone and gave it to Yang Bo, "Here, you can look at this one!"
Yang Bo glanced at it, and lightly shook his head, "Forget it, I won't look anymore, I can't afford it anyway."
"Sigh, don't worry. There will always be one that suits you!" Faang Yuan laughed and took out another three inkstones from his cloth bag.
Yang Bo laughed: "It looks like you are going to sell it for me."
"More or less. Relatively speaking, I like carrying more of the four famous ink stones." Faang Yuan said.
Yang Bo took it over once again, and after looking at it separately, he quickly passed it back, "Forget it, forget it!"
Faang Yuan was anxious, as though he was worried that he could not sell the ink stone to Yang Bo, he pressed on it with his hands, "Wait for me for a moment, I will go back to get some ink stone, I don't believe that I do not have what you want!"
Yang Bo shook his head, and stopped him: "No need to trouble yourself, your inkstone is too expensive, forget it, I have something to do, let's chat next time!"
Faang Yuan pulled Yang Bo back, "Don't be anxious, just a moment, five minutes is enough. My residence is very close to here, wait for me, just a moment!"
With that, without waiting for Yang Bo's response, Faang Yuan turned and ran.
Yang Bo was stunned for a while, but he still could not understand, what did the other party mean by that? Did he have to sell the inkstone to him?
Must he sell the inkstone to me?
thought about these words and his heart suddenly jumped. He was a suspicious person, after coming out for two years, he had become as thrifty as an iron rooster, and similarly, he had become very suspicious about how Lee Er treated money. Previously, he was pulled over by Lee Er at Ghost Market, but he had his suspicions.
This time, he still planned to wait a bit. After all, he had the confidence to appraise the old man. Even if the old man wanted to lie to him, he wouldn't buy it.
"..."
Faang Yuan looked around, only then did he hurriedly enter a small courtyard. The small courtyard was covered by grape arbors, it was rather quiet.
One of them was already standing there, and looked at Faang Yuan, "How is it? Did he buy it? "
Faang Yuan panted heavily, "Boss Jia, the one you want to deal with is probably not so easy to fool. After he looked at these inkstones, he is satisfied with nothing!"
"None of them satisfied him?" Jia Huairen frowned. This time, he did contact Faang Yuan, the street merchant, to scheme for the tens of thousands of dollars that Yang Bo had. Although he did not know how much the Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase had sold, he knew Yang Bo must have earned it!
Jia Huairen thought of that midnight when Yang Bo walked out of the store resolutely after his heavy words had left his mouth. He also became Guo Bapi's lackey later on and wanted to swindle money from him.
"Nope." Faang Yuan paused for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Do you think it's because our price is too high?"
"How much did you drive?" Jia Huairen asked.
"I offered a price of 100,000, it sounds like a very high price, but the key is that he didn't bargain!"
"No bargaining?" Jia Huairen said in a high-pitched voice, "Did he figure it out?"
"It can't be. I don't think I can see it. I didn't say anything. It's okay, I have to hurry back. It would be bad if he left!" Faang Yuan was not clear about the grudge between the two of them, and he was smart enough not to ask too many questions.
"Didn't you prepare something? Take them all! " Faang Yuan walked towards the room.
"There are Buddha statues, ivory plates, and an inkstone, but its appearance is not good." Jia Huairen said loudly into the room, while warning: "Later on, don't raise the price so high, but it can't be too low either. He should be able to pay a price of thirty to fifty thousand!"
"Alright, I understand!"
