C17 Fatty and the Thin Man
When Lin Xi saw the price of the parrot, he had a strange expression on his face. Although he had a little over a hundred thousand in savings, he could only afford to buy this parrot. His heart was filled with more than embarrassment. Without even thinking, he turned around and left the flower and bird shop.
"This place is really a profitable business. So long as I'm able to sell one, I'm afraid it'll be able to cover a year's worth of salary, and it'll probably be much more."
A street filled with flowers and birds walked over. Although Lin Xi was amazed by the profits, he wasn't interested in them. Instead, he was extremely interested in antiques.
It was not because he was interested in antiques, but because he had been a member of the pawnshop for more than half a year. He was very curious about these ordinary-looking but expensive antiques.
However, his understanding of antiques could only be described as almost zero. It was just a dry envy. He had thought of self-learning about antiques, but because he was too busy with work, he had been delayed. Now that he had time, it was equivalent to losing his job.
Furthermore, he had a small thought. He remembered that when he first saw the Buddha statue, the Buddha statue disintegrated into countless rays of green light in front of the Heavenly Eye and absorbed a part of it.
Looking at the Buddha statue again, it seemed to be quite old. He wanted to try and see if he could find an object that could also disintegrate the green light here.
Fortunately, he had already figured out the function of the Heavenly Eye and could use it quite freely. He should be able to guarantee that he would be able to do it here. The only thing he needed to consider was the problem of using the green light in the depths of his eye sockets, which was a precious consumable.
Lin Xi had a guess as well. That Buddha statue was probably not that simple. Perhaps it was really a treasure that was worth a lot of money. The reason why he was willing to bring it to the so-called big boss today was because he wanted to know about the Buddha statue. It seemed like an antique.
After all, he did not dabble in the field of antiques, but the big shot was in the jewelry business. Moreover, he was a big shot in the Jewelry World, so he knew a little about antiques.
Of course, this was just a small idea. Even Ang Youyong had never told him about it.
After visiting the flower and bird market, Lin Xi returned from the streets and looked at the Antique Market on the other side. One should know that other than the scattered shops in the Antique Market, there were also many businessmen who were selling their stalls, just like the one he met on the day he was discharged from the hospital.
Although most of the people who set up stalls here were similar to the one who sold handicrafts, there were still some differences. This was because there were real goods here, but one needed to rely on one's own eyesight to either pick up a big leak and celebrate, or carry a counterfeit home and cry.
And the person who sold the artifact that day was purely shouting his slogan loud and clear, but there was never real goods, nor would there be real goods.
In fact, Lin Xi did not come here because of antiques, but purely to try his luck. Ever since he experimented with the Heavenly Eye on the train, he felt that the green light in the depths of his eyes seemed to have lessened a lot. Therefore, he came here to see if he could find an object that contained the same green light as the Buddha statue so that it could replenish the green light.
After all, as his special ability, the Heaven's Eye would definitely bring him a lot of convenience in the future. No matter what, he had to think for himself.
Lin Xi had been watching every stall seriously from the other side of Antique Street, but he didn't dare to use the Heavenly Eye carelessly. He only used the Heavenly Eye to look at something that looked like an old object occasionally.
What he didn't expect was that although those objects were old, none of them contained green light. Instead, the green light in the depths of his eyes dimmed a lot. In the end, he simply couldn't be bothered to use his Heavenly Eyes anymore.
Could it be that these things were far inferior to that Buddha statue?
Lin Xi was a little disappointed and lazy in his heart. Perhaps it really was just that Buddha statue that was special. However, what Lin Xi was most worried about was the green light in the depths of his eyes.
He was really worried that after the green light was completely consumed, his Heavenly Eye would disappear along with it. If he lost the Heavenly Eye that he had obtained with great difficulty... He couldn't help but worry about his own gains and losses.
Moreover, when he used his Heavenly Eye, something would happen to Lin Xi's eyes. Although it was only for a short period of time, if he encountered someone with ulterior motives, he might be discovered as well. Therefore, every time he used his Heavenly Eye, he would deliberately avoid the crowd. This made him somewhat distressed.
As the saying goes, those who were good at watching the show were like outsiders watching the show. Ever since Lin Xi stopped thinking about the Heavenly Eye, He's enjoying the show, and there's a lot of stuff on this antique street. Whether it was the shops or the stalls, there were porcelain, ancient books, painting and gold and silver jade artifacts. The Qin Dynasty Bricks, tiles, Song Li, and snuff pots were everywhere. There were also all kinds of red books, armbands, and stamps in the streets. It was hard to tell if they were real or not.
As for whether they would pick up the loots or not, it would all depend on the buyers' performances. Of course, there had to be some good luck involved as well.
However, when Lin Xi walked past the shops and stalls, he would pick up and play with the things that he thought were good. Even if he did not know, he had to pretend to know. He had to keep his face.
Suddenly, a stall not far away caught Lin Xi's attention. It seemed to be lively.
The stall owner was a big fat man. He looked much fatter than Ang Youyong. He was short and short. Every word he said made his face shake. He was shaking three times. His tone was arrogant. He didn't look like a boss who opened a shop.
He stood next to the fat man. Standing next to the fat man was a thin man. He was tall and had a head taller than the fat man, but he was as thin as a bamboo pole. It seemed like a gust of wind could blow him down.
The thin man was wrapped in a thick gray cotton coat in this relatively cold weather. There were two holes in the cotton coat. The cotton in the holes had come out of the holes and was fluttering in the air. Moreover, he had a small felt hat on his head. He looked like the shopkeeper of a worn jacket in an old pawnshop on TV.
The combination of fat and thin reminded Lin Xi of the fat and thin monk in Jin Lao's novel "Deer Cauldron Chronicle." They were really similar, not to mention.
Opposite them was an old man with a black cap on his head. He was wearing a red Tang suit. Furthermore, there was a dragon-shaped jade pendant hanging on his left chest. It was obvious that the jade pendant was worth a lot.
The old man held a dragon-headed walking stick in one hand, while the other hand kept rolling and playing with a pair of health balls. The strange thing was that the health balls were not iron balls in the field, but two bright purple walnuts.
"Brother Ma, this old man wants to see our treasure. Take it out for him to see..."
The fat man who was called Brother Ma by the thin man snorted. He looked arrogant, as if he was dissatisfied with the old man the thin man had brought with him. "Little Liu," he said. That baby has already been decided by Boss Zheng. Why did you bring an outsider?"
Brother Ma turned back to apologize to the old man. He cupped his fists and showed no signs of losing his arrogance. Old man, I am really sorry. Someone has already asked for my baby. Please forgive me!"
Although Brother Ma looked like he was doing a good job, Lin Xi was watching from the side. Every time Brother Ma said something, he would look at the old man from the corner of his eye to observe his reaction. Little Liu Zi was also secretly winking at Brother Ma.
Lin Xi suddenly felt that it was interesting. It seemed that he had run into someone else.
There were quite a number of caregivers nowadays. All sorts of caregivers had become a profession. They were many times better than Yellow Ox. The two people in front of him were obviously caregivers as well.
