Chapter 1163 Is my luck really that good?
Zhang Caifeng took out her phone, scanned the QR code handed to her by the stall owner, paid 500 yuan, and then took the small bag handed to her by the stall owner. She carefully put the two coins into her bag.
"Phew..." she exhaled.
Visiting antique markets is really expensive!
Su Xing smiled at her and said, "Let's go."
"okay."
The two linked arms and continued chatting as they strolled leisurely.
Su Xing asked, "Are you going to sell these ancient coins or keep them for yourself?"
Zhang Caifeng said, "The coins I bought today, apart from a few Qing Dynasty copper coins that seem to be genuine, are probably mostly not real, right? Those Qing Dynasty copper coins aren't worth much, I'll just keep them as teaching props for fun."
Su Xing said, "What if some of them are valuable?"
“Everyone says that finding a bargain in the antique market these days is less likely than winning the lottery. I don’t dare to imagine that I have such good luck, but…” Zhang Caifeng paused for a moment, then said, “The ancient coins I bought today, even if most of them aren’t real, look pretty convincing to me. When I get back to school, I’ll ask my teacher to take a look.”
Su Xing smiled and said, "Perhaps the god of good fortune is truly looking out for you."
The two were walking when suddenly a voice rang out.
"Oh? Miss Su?"
The sound came from behind Su Xing and Zhang Caifeng, and Su Xing found the sound very familiar.
She turned around and recognized the person; he was one of the appraisers from Zhenbaozhai.
She smiled and nodded to the other person, greeting him, "Master Li, it's you."
Master Li waved his hand and laughed, "Oh dear, I don't deserve to be called a master. Miss Su, just call me Old Li."
Su Xing smiled and called out again, "Uncle Li."
Master Li said, "I felt that the figure looked like Miss Su from behind. What a coincidence, are you... here to hunt for bargains?"
Panjiayuan Market is busier than usual on weekends. Since there's not much to do at his shop, he came out for a stroll and unexpectedly ran into Su Xing.
He knew that this Miss Su had a close relationship with the young master and often sold goods at Zhenbaozhai. Since they had met, he naturally had to say hello.
"My classmate and I came here for a look around." Su Xing gave Master Li and Zhang Caifeng a brief introduction. "This is my roommate, surnamed Zhang, and this is Master Li, the appraiser from Zhenbaozhai."
Zhang Caifeng obediently greeted the other person, "Hello."
"Oh, so you're Miss Su's classmate, also studying cultural relic preservation technology?"
Zhang Caifeng said, "I didn't study cultural relic protection technology, but it is a cultural heritage-related major, namely cultural relics and museology."
Master Zhang said, "Then we're pretty much the same, we're practically colleagues. Come visit our Treasure Shop more often when you have time."
He paused for a moment, then said to Su Xing, "The young master is also in this shop today. Miss Su, Miss Zhang, would you like to go over and sit for a while?"
"President Shen is here too?" Su Xing thought for a moment and said, "We'll see how things go later. If we're done shopping and President Shen isn't busy, we'll go over for a cup of tea."
Originally, she had planned to come out with Zhang Caifeng today, but she was afraid that Zhang Caifeng would feel uncomfortable in front of unfamiliar people, so she didn't plan to go to Zhenbaozhai. However, now that she had run into the appraiser of Zhenbaozhai, she figured he would tell Shen Bai that he had run into her when he got back, so she might as well go over and sit for a while, and also let Shen Bai or the appraiser of Zhenbaozhai appraise the goods that Zhang Caifeng had just bought.
Master Li smiled and said, "Young Master Shen will surely be very happy that Miss Su and Miss Zhang are coming over for tea. I won't disturb you any longer. See you later."
"Okay, see you later, Uncle Li."
"Bye-Bye."
Su Xing and Master Li chatted for a few minutes before saying their goodbyes.
Zhang Caifeng also raised her hand and waved to Master Li.
The two groups of people wandered off in different directions.
Zhang Caifeng asked, "Where are we going in a bit...? Hmm, would you like some tea?"
Su Xing said to her, "I'll take you to meet a friend later. Actually, you've met him before. Do you remember? Once, when our dorm went to Panjiayuan together, we encountered some hooligans and got into a fight with them. Later, they bumped into a stall owner's stall and damaged a lot of his items."
Zhang Caifeng said, "Of course I remember!"
That incident left a very deep impression on her!
Su Xing continued, "When the stall owner found an appraisal master to appraise those damaged items, Shen Bai, the young master of Zhenbaozhai, was also there. Later, I bought those damaged items, and Shen Bai gave me a business card. I sold the repaired items to Zhenbaozhai, and gradually became familiar with Shen Bai."
Zhang Caifeng nodded, "So that's how it is..."
Su Xing added, "I think some of the ancient coins we bought today have quite a bit of charm. When we get to the Treasure Pavilion, we can ask Shen Bai and the others to take a look at them."
"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for them?"
Su Xing laughed and said, "No, they're in this business. If they're worried about owing favors, we can cover the appraisal fee. Don't worry, it won't cost much."
Shen Bai definitely wouldn't charge them for the appraisal; she said that to avoid giving Zhang Caifeng any psychological burden.
"Oh... okay."
Su Xing and Zhang Caifeng strolled through most of the Panjiayuan Market.
Zhang Caifeng didn't find any ancient coins she wanted to buy. There were some she thought were quite nice, but she didn't buy them, mainly because her spending today had exceeded her budget.
Su Xing finally stopped in front of a stall.
This stall mainly sells ancient books and calligraphy and paintings.
Su Xing noticed that some of the items were quite damaged, so he wondered if he could find any that were difficult to repair so he could practice his skills.
She carefully picked up an old book.
The stall owner glanced at her and said, "Be gentle, be careful."
The stall owner's attitude wasn't great, but Su Xing didn't take it to heart.
She said good-naturedly, "I know, I'll be careful."
Ancient books and paintings are easily damaged, especially since most of the items at this stall are quite old. It's only natural for the stall owner to worry that someone might handle the goods too roughly and cause even more damage.
Su Xing carefully flipped through the ancient book a few times, then quickly put it down.
Actually, it should be called an antique-style book, not a genuine old item. Moreover, only the outer cover is somewhat damaged; most of the pages inside are quite new, so there is no need for repair.
She glanced at the unfolded calligraphy and paintings again, but wasn't particularly interested in any of them.
There were a few scrolls that the stall owner hadn't opened; they were all kept in a roll container.
Su Xing touched it and then gave up the idea of having the boss unfold it.
Her gaze fell on those ancient books again.
She carefully opened one of the books with the most tattered cover and found that the pages inside were also tattered. She picked it out, set it aside, and continued to select books.
Her hand paused when she touched the last ancient book.
That familiar, strange feeling is back!
Su Xing raised her eyebrows slightly. Was she having such good luck today?
