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

Lin Ran drove directly to Panjiayuan. He had to find some suitable door-to-door gifts.

But to prevent himself from being recognized, he put on a baseball cap.

In this era of Panjiayuan, many people have begun to hide their identities, and there are many people wearing hats.

Panjiayuan has gradually formed its own set of rules. As a place selling antiques,

The main reason people come here is to buy old stuff.

When young people set up stalls, they often give people a feeling of frivolity and unreliability.

Therefore, the people who come here to set up stalls have gradually developed a tacit understanding, and it has become a seller's market dominated by middle-aged and elderly people.

People will think that the items sold by an old man dressed like a farmer have a high authenticity rate.

As everyone knows, buyers will learn from experience and sellers will also learn.

They design a set of rules based on customer needs.

It's not perfect yet, but it will soon be used in antique markets around the world.

As a witness, Lin Ran found it a bit funny.

Through previous marketing and the booming antiques market, there were many buyers in the market, crowded and crowded.

Lin Ran quite enjoyed this atmosphere. Walking in Panjiayuan, recalling the scene when he first came here to pick up leaks, it felt like a lifetime ago.

When I saw the people around me, many of them had confusion in their eyes.

Lin Ran knew at a glance that they were here just to pick up the leaks.

Panjiayuan carries the hope of many people to make a fortune, and now is the best time. After a while, the market will form its own set of unspoken rules, and it will become more difficult to pick up the slack.

Lin Ran was originally worried that he would be recognized because he was too ostentatious before.

But now I know that I have thought too much, and the merchants and buyers in Panjiayuan have changed batch after batch.

This is what the antique market is like. As the saying goes, if it is not open for half a year, it will be open for half a year.

There is also a situation where success is lost forever. Merchants who can set up stalls here for a long time have long since become bosses.

Going to Yuan Jiahao's house, Lin Ran planned to buy some small items from the street stalls.

Yuan Jiahao would definitely not accept a gift that was too expensive. He just hoped that Lin Ran could do things in a down-to-earth manner.

The gift given to Yuan Jiahao is different from the gift given to other people.

It doesn’t have to be expensive, but it does have to be sincere.

First of all, you have to consider that Yuan Jiahao is a very particular person and has seen a lot of valuable things. If he sends some high-end tea, the other party will definitely feel that it is perfunctory.

After all, I am in the antique business, and if I want to show my sincerity, I have to start with antiques.

Lin Ran was thinking about it in his mind and stopped in front of a stall.

Different from the various jade and porcelain displayed at other stalls, here there are a lot of Rudraksha bracelets in various sizes and styles.

Lin Ran was curious because the other person's curly hair didn't look like a mainlander.

And he didn't shout as loudly as the others, so he looked like a newcomer.

He squatted down in front of the stall, and the stall owner said somewhat naively: "Brother, just take a look."

Lin Ran picked up a bracelet and looked at it. The bodhi seed was obviously carefully selected, it was submersible, and it was of sufficient size.

What surprised him most was the ornament at the joint, which was obviously ivory.

In China, ivory products are now not allowed to be traded.

Lin Ran carefully checked the material and confirmed that he had read it correctly.

So he asked in a low voice: "Boss, is this real?"

"Of course." He said anxiously, "I just brought these things back from Nepal."

It turned out to be Rudraksha brought back from Nepal. No wonder the color is so moist.

Lin Ran nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

The stall owner seemed to be about to start an argument, but the other party directly agreed with him, leaving him a little confused.

Lin Ran had actually identified the material and was ready to make a selection.

For Yuan Jiahao, a famous watch is undoubtedly the best gift, but Lin Ran is not suitable to give this thing now.

He noticed that Yuan Jiahao usually brought his green water ghost with him when he saw him outside.

But at home, I always see Yuan Jiahao wearing various bracelets.

Moreover, Yuan Jiahao would comment on the dzi beads on his neck from time to time, and seemed to particularly like them.

However, once the Dzi Bead is recognized as the owner, it is not suitable to be given to other people.

What's more, how could the Dzi beads be transferred to others as a gift given to him by Tenzin Ouzhu.

Through previous observations, Lin Ran judged that Yuan Jiahao was indifferent to things on the surface, but in fact he should be influenced by his parents and had a certain recognition of Buddhist culture.

This bracelet is the best gift.

In the tropics, there is an evergreen broad-leaved plant called the cypress tree.

The seed of this tree is Rudraksha.

This plant only grows in tropical and subtropical areas. Local people mainly use it to extract oil. However, Chinese businessmen noticed the business opportunities and made it into various antiques.

Vajra is a concept in Buddhism, also known as Vajra Prajna Paramita, which refers to a practice method to reach the supreme Bodhi realm.

The literal meaning of Rudraksha is "solid Bodhi", in which the word "Vajra" means solid and indestructible, while "Bodhi" means enlightenment, awakening and liberation.Rudraksha is one of the very important practice methods in Buddhist Tantra. By practicing Rudraksha, practitioners can reach a state of transcending troubles and pain and achieve supreme enlightenment and liberation.

The core of Rudraksha practice is Prajnaparamita, the practice of wisdom.Prajnaparamita refers to transcending attachment and delusion to the world through insight into the true nature and emptiness of things, thereby achieving enlightenment and liberation.Rudraksha practice emphasizes that through in-depth thinking, research and meditation, we can gradually cultivate wisdom, gain insight into the true nature, transcend attachment and delusions about the world, and ultimately achieve the state of Bodhi.

Lin Ran looked at all the bracelets and directly picked out the one he thought was the best.

Asked: "Boss, how much does this cost?"

The stall owner was a little surprised. It seemed that Lin Ran was his first customer.

He directly stretched out two fingers and said: "Five hundred."

"It's too expensive." Lin Ran frowned, "This is just Rudraksha, how come it's more expensive than jade?"

The stall owner shook his head: "If not, then you have to pay this price."

Since he was here to pick up a leak, Lin Ran would certainly not give in easily.

He put down the bracelet directly and said, "Okay, let me take a look first."

After speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, the stall owner became a little anxious and called out to him.

"Brother, wait a minute."

"It's too expensive." Lin Ran was secretly happy and looked back at the stall owner.

The stall owner also had a sad face: "To tell you the truth, I came here as a refugee. These are all made by my family from the mountains. How much do you think they cost?"
