576 Rouge Box
Qin Xi casually threw it to her and sneered. “At most ten yuan.”
The saleswoman lowered her head in embarrassment. “Um… Alright!”
Mr. Qin, who was following behind, was shocked. He had never seen anyone bargain like this.
Qin Xi picked more than ten small items. These small items were all bought by the shop from the stalls outside.
This was the advantage of a hundred-year-old shop. As long as the items were placed here, even if they were trash, they could be sold at an incredible price.
After shopping for a while, Qin Xi patted the dust off her palms and said casually, “Alright, that’s all for today. I think 100 yuan is enough to take these home, right?”
The saleswoman was on the brink of tears. Could she say no?
In the end, Qin Xi took out a hundred yuan and took away more than ten small items.
After leaving South Mountain Hall, Mr. Qin asked in confusion, “Xi, why did you buy them when you knew they were fake?”
Qin Xi smiled and took out a small rouge box.
“This is a piece of porcelain from the Tang Dynasty. It’s a very rare authentic item. This is definitely something used by the wife of a high-ranking official in ancient times. Dad, we can make a small fortune.” She held Mr. Qin’s arm with a smile and pointed at the antique street on the other side. “Dad, let’s go to that shop to sell it.”
Soon, the father and daughter arrived at an antique shop called the Hundred Phoenix Pavilion. There was only an old man in his sixties. He was dressed in a dark Tang suit and was leisurely sipping tea and listening to opera.
Seeing that a guest had arrived, the old man did not stand up. He was still relaxed as he waved his hand. “Take whatever you like.” In any case, there was nothing real here.
The corners of Qin Xi’s mouth twitched. She pulled Mr. Qin to sit opposite the old man and said with a smile, “Grandpa, I don’t have anything to buy. I’m here to sell something. This is it. Take a look and see if this is real.”
She handed over the rouge box in her hand. The old man sized up the rouge box for a long time and looked at the father and daughter opposite him with uncertainty. Then, he picked up the magnifying glass beside him and looked at it again before confirming. He slowly put the magnifying glass back in place and said, “Yes, it’s an item from the Tang Dynasty. How much do you plan to sell it for?”
When he said this, he looked at Mr. Qin. After all, Mr. Qin was an adult.
Mr. Qin forced a smile and said, “I’ll listen to my daughter.”
The old man was a little surprised. At first, he felt that this father and daughter were a little special. When they entered the house, it was the daughter who spoke first. The father just stood at the side silently, not saying a word.
He looked at Qin Xi and asked, “Then Miss, how much do you plan to sell it for?”
Qin Xi did not tell him the price directly. Instead, she asked the old man, “How much do you think this thing is worth?”
Qin Xi actually estimated the price to be about 4.5 million yuan. She did not expect the old man to raise it by 500,000 yuan. “Sure, it’s 500,000 yuan higher than I estimated. However, I won’t take this 500,000 yuan for nothing.”
