Chapter 638: The Girl Killed by Her Mother, Stepfather, and Their Family (1)
I went out and took a walk around the ghost market that Xiaojuzi mentioned. It was actually quite close to the yard.
Then he found a deserted place and took out three large sacks and carried them back.
The reason for having two extra sacks is so that we can take something out of them when the time comes.
As soon as I returned to the yard, the old lady called Shuangshuang enthusiastically.
"Girl, we are making dumplings today, come over and have some."
Shuangshuang didn't expect the old lady to be so particular, and her face was full of embarrassment.
"But how can this be so embarrassing?"
"What's the big deal? You're a girl who just moved in. It's not easy for you to start a fire. Just take care of one first."
"Thank you, Auntie. I'll put down my luggage first."
"Okay, okay, I have something ready to cook."
Shuangshuang had never been empty-handed in the past, so she couldn't take the kindness shown by others for granted.
Holding two cans of food and a bag of sesame sticks in her hands, the old lady kept asking why she was spending so much money, but she looked very happy.
After eating dumplings, I returned to the house and packed up my things.
Take out everything you need, even a set of pots and kitchen utensils.
The old lady over there saw that Shuangshuang was so well prepared and whispered to the old man.
"This is a kid who knows how to get by."
In the evening, Shuangshuang cooked a dish of braised pork and sent a bowl to the old couple.
"Uncle, Madam, I made this. Please try it and see if it tastes good."
The old lady took the braised pork in a bowl, and after Shuangshuang left, she murmured to the old man.
"She's returning the gift we gave her at noon. She's a good girl who knows what she's doing."
The old man picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth.
“It tastes good, and it seems like he’s been doing this since he was a kid.
Please help in any way you can in the future."
The old lady nodded. "You're right. The little girl is all alone outside. She doesn't even go out for the New Year. I guess her family doesn't treat her well."
Xiaojuzi forwarded what the old couple said to Shuangshuang. Shuangshuang didn't expect Xiaojuzi to be so reliable.
It's obvious that this old couple has positive values, so I can feel at ease living here.
At night, noticing that the old couple were asleep, Shuangshuang said to Xiaojuzi.
"Lead the way, let's go to the ghost market and try our luck."
In fact, it was just a matter of luck. With her spiritual sense, she could tell at a glance whether there was a genuine product or not just by passing by there.
Besides, there was this little orange bag. Before we even entered the ghost market, little orange started yelling loudly.
"Do you see that wretched young man on the left?
The blue and white porcelain plate in front of his right foot is from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and is very valuable."
Shuangshuang followed Xiaojuzi's gaze and saw a thin young man sitting on the ground with his head huddled together.
Hundreds of blue and white porcelain bowls, plates and other items were neatly arranged in front of him.
It's just a small orange. For ordinary people to find gold in so much shit, they need great vision and luck.
The ghost market is always filled with the same people every day, so when a few new faces suddenly show up, everyone is already gearing up to make a fortune.
Therefore, as soon as Shuangshuang came in, she was targeted by everyone, and they all used their eloquence to bargain with her.
They both looked at the stall on the left and the stall on the right calmly, and were not in a hurry to get what the wretched man wanted.
Like a newbie, I am curious about everything I see and I like everything I see.
I grabbed a very beautiful gooseneck vase that was obviously made with modern craftsmanship and couldn't let it go.
"Boss, how much does this cost?"
When the boss saw a newbie coming, he immediately became excited.
"This is Tang Sancai, a type of glaze passed down from the Tang Dynasty. Look at the glaze; it's still so lustrous after all these years.
If it weren't for my son's failure in business and the fact that he lost money and had to pay compensation to others, I wouldn't be willing to sell it."
Shuangshuang felt upset and really thought of herself as a fool.
"Okay, okay, name a price."
The boss tentatively held up two fingers, and Shuangshuang muttered something when they saw it.
"Twenty? It's a bit pricey, but it's good for growing flowers.
Okay, here’s the money.”
After saying that, without waiting for the boss to react, he took out twenty yuan and handed it over.
The boss was stunned for a moment as he looked at the twenty yuan in front of him. It was the first time he met someone like me who understood the price.
When the money touched him, he suddenly came to his senses and shook his hand quickly.
"No, no, no, little girl, you misunderstood, I said 20,000 yuan!"
"What? 2 yuan for a shabby vase like this."
When Shuangshuang heard this, she quickly put down the vase and shook her head.
"It's too expensive, too expensive. I'll just buy a cheap one to grow flowers at home."
When the boss saw Shuangshuang was about to leave, he quickly stopped her.
"Hey, little girl, don't go.
Let's talk it over nicely. Look, this is the famous Tang Sancai, so the price is naturally a bit higher."
Both of them rolled their eyes at him.
"Come on, if it's really Tang Sancai, just hide it under your bed."
The boss smiled in surprise, "Isn't it because you are short of money? Yes, short of money, hehe, short of money."
Shuangshuang said impatiently, "Alright, alright, just tell me a price honestly. If you can accept it, I'll buy it. If you can't accept it, I'll leave."
"I really didn't bargain with you. If you want, I can give you a little less, but it won't be much less."
In the end, after much negotiation, the deal was settled for one or two hundred yuan. Shuangshuang quickly grabbed a small bowl next to him and said.
"Then this will be a bonus. I'll make a hole in the bottom of the bowl and use it to grow some succulents. It'll look nice."
The boss was secretly happy because these two things were taken out from the same brothel and the total cost was less than ten yuan.
But he looked like he had suffered a great loss and handed the things to Shuangshuang.
Shuangshuang said nothing, took the vase and continued shopping.
After that, nothing seemed to catch its eye, and it never bought anything again.
It wasn't until an hour later that I finally came to the stall of that creepy man.
The wretched man noticed her when they were both buying Tang Sancai.
Seeing Shuangshuang coming over, he hurried to attract customers, "Hey, little girl, look at these, they are all blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty!
If my girlfriend wasn't sick and had no money to treat her illness, I really wouldn't be willing to sell it.
Shuangshuang couldn't help but laugh and secretly said to Xiaojuzi in her heart.
"Everyone who sets up a stall must have a miserable life story for themselves."
Little Orange disagreed, "What's the big deal? This is the only way to resonate with you and not to force the price too much, right?"
"How is that possible? If you really believe what they say, you're a fool."
They both squatted down and looked around, and finally their eyes fell on the blue and white porcelain plate.
He picked it up and looked at it casually, as if he couldn't figure out what it was.
“Is this really blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty?”
"Of course it's blue and white porcelain, absolutely genuine."
As for whether it is from the Ming Dynasty, it depends on whether you can look at it.
In the antique industry, even experienced masters can make mistakes, let alone a newbie like Shuangshuang?
