MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 100 for the bracelet
The next day was the weekend, and as usual, Li Xiaoshuai had to go shopping at the flea market. Now Li Xiaoshuai has achieved impressive results, and his girlfriend Elaine is also very supportive.
Moisturizing overnight, although she was repeatedly criticized, Xiao Nizi was still very satisfied when she woke up, her eyes were full of spring water, and her complexion was rosy and delicate, which was better than using any skin care products.
Li Xiaoshuai also got rid of the evil fire, and now he is refreshed and refreshed.
Because his head was full of bracelets, Li Xiaoshuai changed his place this time and went to the Brooklyn Flea Market. This market is mainly for handmade products, and he wants to try his luck here.
Entering the market, the two first found a place to have breakfast, had a cup of coffee and a few hot dogs, and then clasped their fingers together and started shopping.
There are many stalls in the market, some specializing in stainless steel couple rings, 20 dollars a piece, 35 dollars a pair, the stall owner also engraved the couple's name on the top for free.
Seeing Li Xiaoshuai and his wife, the stall owner tried to show off and wanted to make this business. It's a pity that this little couple has a very high vision, and they don't look down on such gadgets at all.
Then there are many people who buy log furniture, many sell chairs, cabinets, and plastic computer chairs.
In front of the door of a booth, a lot of tanned hairy cowhide was hung on a coat rack. Li Xiaoshuai thought for a moment that it was getting cold, so he bought a piece of cooked cowhide to use as a mattress for his mother; The sofa cushions are still good.
I talked to my girlfriend, and she also suggested that it would be better to buy one for his mother and grandma Annie.
Li Xiaoshuai also apologized to Elaine and said, "Damn it, my girlfriend is by my side, how can I forget my old husband."
When I asked about the price, it was $175 a piece, which is the hide of a whole cow. The two males and females set fire to deal with the single-handed stall owner. They bargained for $150 a piece, and Li Xiaoshuai bought three pieces.
Seeing that there were black and white pillows made of cowhide, Elaine also liked them very much and refused to let go. Li Xiaoshuai bought three more pairs.
This is good, the two of them have all the cow leather stalls on their hands, so they can't go shopping. They can only send things to the car first, and then continue to come in and go shopping.
When he returned again, Li Xiaoshuai found a stall that sold ore. He heard the accent and was a foreigner. After asking, he found out that he came from the west. This young man, who is not a few years older than Li Xiaoshuai, still drove the car all the way to play.
He put a lot of colorful, crystal clear mineral crystals on his booth, including red spearhead-shaped mercury ore, yellow-green malachite, and brown-black wolframite crystals.
There are also a lot of ore wrapped in stone, and I don't know what the content is.
Li Xiaoshuai's clairvoyant eyes opened again, and with just one scan, he saw that there was an article to do here. He pointed to three inconspicuous stones and asked, "Boss, how do you sell these three colorless crystals?"
The young boss glanced at the three fist-sized ore and said, "Well, if you want all of them, it's $300 a piece."
300 US dollars, that is the price of colorless crystal, and the amethyst that Li Xiaoshuai wants, the price is much higher. Fortunately, the little boss's luck was not very good. The small windows he knocked turned into colorless and transparent white crystals, and he bought them at this price.
"Oh, the market is in a downturn right now, this price is too expensive."
As soon as Li Xiaoshuai said these words, Elaine immediately followed, accusing one after another that there was no crystal in the place where the ore was wrapped, but we dared to charge such a high price, it was too embarrassing.
She also showed off the pink tourmaline bracelet that Li Xiaoshuai gave her and said, I am the gem, you are all the stones! Ask us to spend $300 to gamble on stones, and there is no door.
The young stall owner was not only deceived, but also frightened by the tourmaline bracelet worth 30,000 US dollars in Elaine's hands. He hesitantly said that he was not sure whether there were still crystals in the place surrounded by stones.
After a few minutes of haggling, the stall owner was defeated by the joint efforts of Li Xiaoshuai and his wife.
The final price is 200 dollars a piece, and three pieces are still cheaper by 50 dollars, which means that Li Xiaoshuai spent 550 dollars to buy the original 900 dollars amethyst.
This place has been visited, and Li Xiaoshuai took his girlfriend to drive to Manhattan's Chinatown to find defective antiques and go home to repair them and sell them.
People are not rich but not rich, and horses are not without grass and are not fat. For Gardner's second-hand store, Li Xiaoshuai had to prepare 10 million in cash on hand.
And because this is a job that supernatural powers can do, Li Xiaoshuai also wants to prevent his teacher from seeing it. He only told Elaine that he needed specimens, and bought some bad ones to go home and study them carefully.
While driving, Li Xiaoshuai received a call, which surprised him for a long time.
The call was from Lorenzo, Bojan's original experience, and asked him if he had time on Monday. He wanted to send a few pieces of casino collateral over to see if he could recover some of the losses.
Of course it's okay to have business, Li Xiaoshuai replied to him immediately, came to his house on Monday afternoon, inspected the goods in person and paid in person.
In Manhattan, Chinatown, in an antique shop opened by a middle-aged Chinese, Li Xiaoshuai explained his intention, and the boss was enthusiastic, and brought a remnant of a Tang Sancai figurine riding a camel from behind.
The thing is very good, it has a matte color, and if you look closely at the glaze, there are small openings, and there are silver-white lead in some places due to the age.
On the brown-yellow camels, there are also five hand-held musical instruments, which are playing and singing; three of the Hu people with high noses and deep eyes wear green clothes, and two of them are blue.
The blue of Tang Sancai, like the blue material of later blue-and-white porcelain, was fired with cobalt-containing minerals. Tang Sancai with blue is much higher than that without blue.
If this remnant was not blue, Li Xiaoshuai would not even be interested in asking the price.
It's a pity that the two tallest Hu figurines, somehow, their heads seemed to have been chopped off, and they were all broken. .
When you buy it home, you only need to put the head on, and then use the ability to weld it, and it will become a complete product immediately.
After scanning through the abilities, the old and new ones were determined. Li Xiaoshuai asked the price. This time, the boss was very welcome and offered a high price of 1,000 US dollars for this residual piece.
Li Xiaoshuai cried and said: "Boss, your price is too high, we are poor students, not the big money in the rabbit country in your mind~www.novelbuddy.com~ Okay, then 800 yuan, just be it It is to help the younger generation."
At $800, Li Xiaoshuai believes that there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.
He knew that if this Tang Sancai was in good condition and came with a basket of colors, people from China would be rushing to get it. People in China will never want such a piece of debris. Who wants to come all the way to the United States to buy a crippled Tang Sancai, and not be laughed at after returning to China.
As for the top shot, it was a dream. If he didn't want it today, it could be said that this piece of Tang Sancai's remnant would have been smashed into his hand.
Li Xiaoshuai: "Boss, I still can't afford it."
"Yeah, we bought it for $800, and we won't have any food for this month." Under the guidance of Li Xiaoshuai, Elaine can tell nonsense as soon as she opens her mouth, and she also pretends to look good.
The boss asked, how much can you get out?
Li Xiaoshuai stretched out three fingers.
Before the boss could speak, Elaine shouted, "What, $300, then what do we have for 10 days?"
The boss suddenly saw the pink tourmaline bracelet on Elaine's hand and said, "Little beauty, you are so rich, there is still ten days' lack of food money there.
"Uh," Li Xiaoshuai was at a loss for words.
It was Elaine who responded quickly. She said that it was because they bought this pair of bracelets that they made a financial deficit, otherwise they would not be so stingy. "$200 is enough."
"no!"
If the boss didn’t sell it, the two of them stubbornly stalked and stalked it for a full 45 minutes. The boss lost his temper after grinding it, and then he let go, “I’ve served you, and I’ll take the $300.”
Walking on the road, Li Xiaoshuai was extremely satisfied, and he said that after tens of thousands of dollars of repairs, he would get it.
When we got home, we distributed cowhide gifts, and everyone was very happy.
