Chapter 108: Heartache from Shopping
Actually, ngyu knew that if she had the money, it would be better to buy so good antiques for her collection, which could yield sky-high prices in future.
But she is short on cash right now.
After all, to her space, the Sun and Moon Essence of a valuable antique is the sa as that on less valuable ones, it just depends on whether it’s from a more recent era or an older one.
However, if she had more money, she would also like to buy so valuable antiques, allowing her space to absorb most of their Sun and Moon Essence and then resell them.
But these worthless antiques could only serve as food for the space; she’d just consu them directly.
Other stall owners seeing ngyu only collecting worthless antiques, while her brother didn’t care, secretly sighed in their hearts: “This brother really spoils his sister too much, letting her spend hundreds of yuan on junk, just for learning.”
But, antique dealers like it.
A damaged gem can still sell at a good price when discounted, but mundane items aren’t worth much if damaged; stumbling upon one, they can only take it as it cos.
Still, even the worthless can fetch a few tens of yuan.
“Little sister, I have so of those damaged ones, do you want them?” a one-eyed man called out.
ngyu just took a glance and shook her head: “I want those with educational value.”
After that, ngyu picked so worthless antiques from each stall, spending over three hundred yuan in total.
Cheng Jiuhe helped ngyu pack all the purchased antiques in cardboard boxes and loaded them onto the car before they went inside.
Actually, the antiques in this greenhouse weren’t very valuable. The real treasures were inside the rooms.
As soon as ngyu entered a room, Xiao Tao started yelling, “There are treasures! First row on the left, third one, second row on the left, third one, third row on the right, second one, master, hurry, grab them all!”
ngyu followed its instruction and glanced over, then started swearing internally, “Do you think I can afford that jade bowl? Or that golden bowl and gem bracelet? Those items would cost at least tens of thousands, are you sure I can buy them?”
Xiao Tao’s voice weakened, “You could afford them if you sell the antique vase that has absorbed the Essence Value.”
ngyu was stunned, as the vase was worth a billion in the future, yet she was supposed to sell it here?
Probably wouldn’t fetch even a hundred thousand, right?
Xiao Tao made a “tch” sound, “When you reach the future, will you still be short of money? You’re just short of money now, right? Selling it would allow you to buy more antiques, after absorbing their value you could resell and get your money back, right?”
Although ngyu felt Xiao Tao made a good point, she really liked those vases too much and still couldn’t bear to sell them.
But under Xiao Tao’s nagging, she still ended up buying the antiques it wanted, fortunately, Cheng Jiuhe helped to bargain, and she spent just over eight thousand.
However, the money she earned from selling Lingzhi was almost all spent, and she was left with just over 1,000 yuan, so she couldn’t buy anymore.
Cheng Jiuhe didn’t have much cash either; this kind of business, only cash is accepted, owing is not allowed, no matter how well-connected one is.
That’s the rule in this place.
“Ah—” ngyu sighed deeply.
Cheng Jiuhe laughed, “Why the sigh? Didn’t you enjoy your shopping today?”
ngyu grimaced, “Seeing all these treasures, I want them, but I’ve run out of cash. I should have withdrawn more money.”
Cheng Jiuhe tapped her on the nose, “I don’t object to you studying archaeology, but you shouldn’t be too wasteful.”
ngyu wrinkled her nose, “Yes, dear brother.”
