Chapter 53 Twins?
It was very early in May, and it was already half past eight after breakfast.
The three of them walked out of the door, passed the stairs from the third floor to the flat ground, and could see the whole bare concrete floor at a glance, without any soil, and naturally there were no flowers, plants and trees, which made the two sisters who came to Earth not long ago feel a little uncomfortable. The ancient world was completely different from here.
Dongfang Bubai felt curious and gently stepped on the cement floor under his feet for a few strokes. He found that the thing that looked very stone was also very hard, comparable to ordinary bluestone, and said, "The cement here is really good. When it comes to water, it turns into a stone. If the city wall is made of this object, it will be extremely solid. However, this large area of ground is clean, but there is nothing, and it looks very ugly."
Zhao Boduan had been in ancient times for almost half a year, but suddenly returned to the modern world. He felt a little alienated from this society and said, "We are the most ordinary community here, and the environment is not very good. After we sold gold and got money, we found a high-end residence, which usually has small gardens, grass and trees."
After a short distance, the three of them walked out of the quiet community - the tenants had already gone to work and turned onto the sidewalk on the street. At this time, the noise of the big city came towards them, quickly filling every inch of space around them and could not escape. The car ran quickly from the road, and the steel bodies broke through the air and made a whistle sound, occasionally mixed with the sound of beating horns, and rushed over continuously.
Dongfang Bubai, who was in red robe and tall crown, was very eye-catching on the road. With her picturesque face, she attracted the attention of many people. As for the ordinary Zhao Boduan beside her, she had long been ignored. Many people stopped to watch, and some mobile phone controls were raised, as if they were taking pictures and sharing them on the Internet.
After Zhao Boduan practiced his internal skills, his ears were very sensitive. He heard many people talking about Dongfang Bubai in a wide red robe in a surprising tone.
"Hey, there are people wearing ancient clothes on this street. Are you crazy? This red silk robe must be very expensive. If I were to wear it, I would be very beautiful too, sister." Zhao Boduan looked at him and saw a dinosaur talking.
"Pang Pang, look ahead. Does the beauty in red look like Dongfang Bubai? Not only does her clothes look very similar, but she also looks very similar. She looks more beautiful than a star, but she also exudes a kind of momentum all over her body. She is really powerful." said a girl among a young couple.
"Is this beauty Chen Qiaoen or her twin sister? She looks so similar, I have to ask her for an autograph! Well, I'd better take a few photos with my mobile phone first, otherwise those scumbags will not believe me." said a young boy wearing glasses.
...
Listening to these words, Zhao Boduan thought in his heart, even if you want to break your head, you won’t think that the person beside me is the real Dongfang Bubai, and no one believes it if he says it, but you still have to leave quickly and don’t stay for too long.
Dongfang Bubai didn't mind the discussion of others at all. He watched cars of different colors drive by the endless stream of streets, and waves of black exhaust gas came out from behind his butt. Qiongnie moved slightly, quickly covered his mouth and nose, and complained: "Zhao Boduan, your cars run very quickly and look very good, but why are you constantly poisoning? Do you want to poison yourself to death?"
Zhao Boduan said a little embarrassedly: "This is the price of driving a car. It's toxic. The benefits of a car are far greater than this harm. It can run two or three thousand miles in a day, which is really convenient." He couldn't help but shake the heavy backpack on his shoulders.
When he arrived at a taxi stop, he saw the crowd gathering around the three of them, Zhao Boduan quickly waved to the taxi car. After intercepting five vehicles in a row without success, one taxi finally stopped. He asked Dongfang Bubai and Yilin to get in the car first and sat in the back row. He squeezed in and told the driver to go to the antique city. While he got in the car, he also heard many men sighing reluctantly.
Dongfang Bubai also looked at the empty seat in front of him, raised his eyebrows and said, "There are still empty seats there, and you insist on hudding with our sisters. Are you malicious?"
Zhao Bo said with a serious expression: "I can protect you by sitting with you, don't misunderstand my good intentions." He thought to himself that if you choose one of the middle-aged uncles and beautiful women, those who have no brains will choose the latter.
Dongfang Bubai had a cold face and said nothing, and the car seemed to be in a cold and silent atmosphere. Yilin usually didn't interrupt, as if she was very shy and still talked little.
The middle-aged driver saw Dongfang Bubai from the mirror and seized the opportunity to sing loud praise to liven up the atmosphere: "Is this lady playing with Coss? This outfit is amazing, and she plays the ancient heroine very much. If she goes to the entertainment industry, she will definitely be a first-line star, as popular as Bingbing."
Zhao Boduan naturally cooperated very well: "Brother Driver, you know, this entertainment industry is too messy, I'm not at ease."
The driver kept nodding and said in agreement: "What this brother said is, that circle is mixed with fish and dragons, and it is not a good place to go. Alas, my daughter always thinks about singing and acting in movies, and becomes a big star like Bingbing. No matter how she persuades her, she can't help but feel like she is so troublesome!"
Zhao Boduan chatted with the driver all the way. Half an hour passed without realizing it. A "squeak" sounded and the car stopped. The driver made a prompt that the destination antique street was here.
After paying the bill, the three of them walked into the small street that was not too wide. Antique shops stood on both sides. The shops were of different sizes and their popularity was very different from each other. Some shops were crowded, and some shops only had two or three kittens. Zhao Boduan found an antique shop with less crowds, a shop called Jinshizhai, and walked in.
"Welcome, what do you want to buy? Do you need a thousand months to recommend it?" said a young female employee with long hair draped over her shoulders in a sweet voice.
Zhao Boduan, who had just entered the store, smelled a faint fragrance of orchids, and couldn't help but look over. Seeing the consultant named Qianyue's eyes were like Xingchen, her black eyes were very shining, and the smile on her beautiful face was very sincere, which made people feel good about it. The fitting clothes added a little more beautiful.
Qianyue met Dongfang Bubai in red robe. Her every move was very natural, more authentic than any heroine she had seen in a TV movie, not at all, and her face looked very similar to the heroine of a very hot TV series not long ago. At first glance, it looked like the heroine in a TV series traveling through time.
Qianyue was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "This... are you Chen Qiaoen?"
Dongfang Bubai glanced at the corner of his mouth and said proudly: "What Chen Qiaoen, I am Dongfang Bubai!" A strong sense of prestige spread out, covering the entire store. Suddenly, the mass of the air in the store seemed to double, and the air suddenly became dull, making people feel a little uncomfortable in their breathing.
Seeing this, Zhao Boduan coughed and took the pressure of Dongfang Bubai, making the store relaxed: "Qianyue, my friend has been addicted to dress-up games recently and is very devoted. Don't be surprised. By the way, are you collecting ancient gold ingots here? This is also an antique." After saying that, he took out a yellow gold ingot with tooth marks from his backpack and placed it on the glass counter, making a crisp "clang" sound.
After Qianyue took a look at the golden ingot, she found that it was 48 taels, weighing about three pounds, and hurriedly said, "Sir, wait a moment, I'll ask the manager to serve you in person." She picked up her cell phone and made a call.
Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties came in through the back door, with his big belly erect. He looked at the beautiful Dongfang Bubai and came back to his senses after a while. After glanced at the golden ingot, he seemed to have a flower blooming on his round face, and he smiled a little exaggeratedly, but he immediately pulled into his relationship with Zhao Boduan: "Sir, our store generally does not collect this kind of golden ingot, because it requires a very cumbersome test to determine the authenticity and age. It is really too laborious."
Zhao Boduan grabbed the gold ingot and acted to put it in his backpack, saying, "If you don't accept it, I'll go to another store to ask. If it really doesn't work, I'll go to the gold store to sell it as gold containing a lot of impurities."
The manager hurriedly said, "Don't worry, let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Zhangzhu, and I haven't asked the gentleman's surname yet."
Zhao Boduan said: "My surname is Zhao, Manager Li. Do you really don't charge such ingots in your store?"
Li Zhangzhu still kept a smile and said, "Brother Zhao, it's okay to ask me to accept gold ingots, but this price can only be purchased at 950% of the market price of gold. You know, our store needs to accurately detect it, and the labor cost is very large, so the price is naturally lower."
Zhao Boduan put the gold ingots on the counter and said, "Manager Li, please take the gold ingots to test first to see if it is real gold, otherwise you won't feel at ease to bargain with me. But let me agree first, I won't pay this test fee."
Li Zhangzhu laughed and said, "Haha, since I have decided to sell this gold ingot in our store, the testing fee will be reimbursed by our store. Qianyue, you send this gold ingot to the testing room." He turned to Qianyue and ordered it. After seeing Qianyue walk away with the gold ingot, he said to Zhao Bodu: "Brother Zhao, what else is there in your backpack? Take it out for Brother Li to have a long experience. The testing will take about half an hour."
Zhao Boduan refused to answer, refusing to reveal anything.
The two of them chatted with each other. Li Zhangzhu had rich experience and was very irritable. He even ordered a female employee to chat with Dongfang Bubai and Yilin without neglecting them. During this period, Li Zhangzhu answered a call and walked away three or four meters away, and his voice was very low.
Zhao Bo smiled, used a little internal force, endured the heat coming out of his body, and heard Manager Li's call clearly in his ears. The content of the call was roughly notified to Manager Li from the test room, thinking that the gold ingot was from the Ming Dynasty, with a low gold content of only 97%, and there were many impurities.
These ingots were brought specifically in the world of Swordsmanship, because if some porcelain, calligraphy and paintings were brought back, they might be considered fakes, because the gap between the Ming Dynasty and modern times was four or five hundred years, and precision instruments could be measured.
Li Zhangzhu looked a little excited. After repeatedly confirming that the golden ingot was something from the Ming Dynasty, his face was red. After hanging up the phone, he came to Zhao Boduan and said, "Congratulations to Brother Zhao, what you brought is indeed golden ingot, with a gold content of 97%. Our store decided to recycle it at the current price of gold of 278 per gram, which is 264 yuan per gram."
Zhao Boduan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, the words at the bottom of this gold ingot indicate that it is from the Ming Dynasty and an antique. How can it be purchased at such a low price?"
Li Zhangzhu smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, even if this gold ingot is from the Ming Dynasty, it has no antique value. It can only be used as a reference for the current price of gold."
Finally, after Zhao Boduan used his strategy of leaving Jinshizhai to go to other stores again, Li Zhangzhu gave in and was willing to buy Jinyuanbao for 300 yuan per gram.
Zhao Boduan took out the other nine gold ingots from his backpack and planned to sell them together.
When Li Zhangzhu saw ten gold ingots, he said in surprise: "Brother Zhao, have you dug up the treasure? I was shocked by so many gold ingots!"
Uncle Zhao showed a surprised look on his face and said, "Brother Li is amazing. This was dug out when I was digging the foundation in my hometown. Don't tell me!"
Li Zhangzhu patted Zhao Boduan's shoulder with his thick palm and said with a smile: "This is my brother, you are lucky, and others can only envy you." He also ordered Qianyue to take the nine ingots for testing.
Zhao Boduan said in great anger: "Oh, Brother Li, it would be great if I had dug up the gold ingots earlier. The gold price last month was 322 yuan per gram!"
Li Zhangzhu hurriedly comforted and said, "Who knows that the price of gold will fall by 20%? Brother, don't you know that many people are bullish on gold and are bullish on gold, but their pants are almost gone!"
Half an hour later, Zhao Boduan led Dongfang Bubai and Yilin out of the store, and his whole body and mind were filled with excitement because he had 4.36 million more cards. This was the first time he had received so much RMB, so he was naturally very happy.
In terms of Earth time, he was an ordinary person who went to work and got a meager salary four days ago. Four days later, he became a millionaire gloriously, although the society has used billionaires as a benchmark to measure rich people.
Dongfang Bubai was browsing with Zhao Boduan's mobile phone, and she suddenly asked Zhao Boduan to look at the phone.
