Chapter 2 Snuff Bottles

Chapter 2 Snuff Bottles

"In the mid-Qing Dynasty, agate snuff bottles with delicate carvings of figures are exquisite in shape, smooth in lines, exquisite in painting and vivid in figures."

The moment the snuff bottle touched his hand, Qin Yu only felt a cool air flow from the snuff bottle along his arm and into the center of his eyebrows, and then this passage came to his mind.

Is it?

All this was caused by the pendant on his chest?
Only in this way can it be explained why it is obvious that the piercing is between the eyebrows, but there is nothing wrong with him, not even a scar.

I remember when I was in my junior year, I had a part-time job delivering food, and I met an old beggar on the way.

It's really pitiful for the old man, he gave him the meal ordered by the customer on impulse, and was deducted a lot of money for this, and the pendant was what the old beggar at that time should have given to himself in order to thank him!

I vaguely remembered that at that time Qin Yu refused to accept it, but a phone call happened to come, and the time he answered the phone call, the old man had disappeared.

Now it seems that the old beggar is not simple!

I don't want to think about that for now, if the information that suddenly appeared in my mind is true, then this snuff bottle is definitely a rare item.

As a top student in the Department of Archeology, Qin Yu frequently read books on antique appraisal.

For such things, the price in the auction market in the past two years is generally 30 million.

Even if it is communicated in private, it will not be less than [-]!

"How about brother? Have you taken a fancy to this snuff bottle? Let me tell you, this snuff bottle is a rare masterpiece in that mansion. According to the old owner of that mansion, this is his ancestor..."

Qin Yu was interrupted by the skinny guy, but he didn't listen to the nonsense he said.

The most basic thing in the antique world is to tell stories first when selling things!
No matter what it is, don't mention whether it is true or not, let's make up a legendary story first!
"Brother, you should have figured it out. I'm a college student. I don't have much money, and I don't expect to buy any rare antiques. I just bought two gadgets to give to my girlfriend. These things look pretty delicate, but if it looks like As you said, it’s really a cultural relic, so I definitely can’t afford it, so I’d better go around.”

This move of his retreated into advance, and he pretended to be ignorant, which made the stall owner stunned.

Could it be that the story I told was so true that it frightened the little fat sheep?
Seeing that Qin Yu was about to leave, the skinny guy hurriedly opened his mouth.

"Ahem, ahem... Brother, don't rush away, you don't know how to do it, we play antiques, and we are talking about personal eyesight."

"I think it's true, but you may think it's not. As for whether something is right or not, it depends on luck."

Qin Yu nodded as if he had suddenly realized.

"Okay, I really don't understand, how much do you want to sell, little brother?"

Qin Yu had visited the Antique Street with the guide several times before, and heard him talk about some of the tricks. Generally, those who go to the countryside to find goods like this kind of gadgets, the purchase price will not be higher than 500 yuan!
The thin guy rolled his eyes. He bought a bowl for 300 yuan as a gift. Although it looked exquisite, it was a bit too exquisite. It didn't look like an old thing that should be in the country.

So he is not optimistic about it from the bottom of his heart.

Things like this only cost one hundred and ten yuan. Originally, according to his plan, he would have to pay over ten thousand to open his mouth, but he didn't dare to open it so high considering that this foolish man could be frightened by hearing a story just now.

"Well, we're about the same age. To be honest, I don't think much of this thing. At that time, I paid 1000 yuan for the exquisite workmanship. If you give me the cost price, you can treat it as a friend! "

Qin Yu was a little dumbfounded.

The former guide said that basically he would ask you to kill half of the price and then wipe out zero for the shopping at the street stall.

If he asks for a thousand...

Qin Yu tentatively opened his mouth.

"Fifty?"

"How much?" The skinny boy pretended to be shocked and exclaimed: "Brother, don't be joking, look at the workmanship and the style! 50 yuan? You might as well grab it openly!"

"How about this, I didn't open the store today, so I just plan to open it, 500 yuan, not a penny less!"

Qin Yu actually accepted this price, but obviously he didn't spend any money when he received this item. If he agrees too readily, it will easily arouse the other party's suspicion.

"It's too expensive, I can't afford it as a student."

Get up and leave.

The skinny guy yelled to stop.

"Don't go, why are you so impatient because you are young people? How about this, brother, you have to ask for it sincerely, and give a sincere price. Fifty is impossible, you can't make random bids!"

"60 yuan, it can't be higher!"

"My brother, just look at the workmanship..."

"66, it's auspicious, if it doesn't work, I really can't afford it." Qin Yu interrupted him.

The skinny guy pretended to be heartbroken, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.

"Come on brother, I met an expert today, let's wrap it up for you."

While packing, he kept talking: "With your bargaining efforts, you can't find another one in the entire antique street! I'm giving it to you at a loss today, and I hope you don't forget to come to my stall more often in the future. Several times……"

This can be regarded as an unwritten rule in the antique world.

Regardless of whether the price of the item is high or low, the owner of the goods will say that the buyer is good after the transaction, which means that the buyer is psychologically comfortable.

After Qin Yu scanned the QR code to pay, the deal was finally done, and he followed up with his brother for a few words.

On the other side, a fat man with dyed yellow hair held two walnuts in his hand, licking his belly and shaking them.

"Xiao Wu, you have to look carefully. It's hard for the old man to hand over the antique street to me. If something goes wrong, let the old man change his mind. Be careful that your brother Dao will turn his face and deny anyone!"

The short man next to him bent over and followed behind the fat man, and took out a Hua Zi to light the fat man.

"Don't worry, brother Dao, the fourth master entrusts you with the antique street, and the brothers can follow you in style, how dare you ruin your job."

"The whole street is staring at the brothers. They are basically acquaintances who come here often. There is only one face-to-face guy. Just there, look at that naive look. He should be a stunned young man from the university."

The fat man followed the direction of Xiao Wu's finger, just in time to see Qin Yu with a "sincere" smirk on his face, and took the snuff bottle packed by the stall owner.

"Oh! Another useless college student came to give money."

He sneered and stopped looking at Qin Yu.

"You're sensible, kid. After the old man officially handed over the antique street to me, how can you get less benefits?"

"That's that... in the entire city of the City God's Temple, who doesn't know that Brother Dao is the most loyal person? Besides, who dares to cause trouble in Fourth Master's realm..."

He seemed to enjoy Xiao Wu's flattery very much, he laughed so loudly that the fat on his face also trembled.

"Let the brothers make a bright spot, let's go, go with Brother Dao to Uncle Waiting for a pot of tea, the weather is really hot..."
