Chapter 10 Baroque Small Table,(1/2)
In the early morning, Ye Tian woke up in a faint stinking smell.
After his mind was clear, he soon discovered the source of the odor, which was his body!
A thin layer of dirt appeared on his body, which was gray-black and viscous, and the smell was fishy, as if it was discharged from his body through his pores.
Although there is not much dirt, it feels like it sticks to the skin, making people feel very uncomfortable.
The underwear and the newly changed bedding were stained, and the smell was also smeared.
Have you taken a shower last night? Why did this happen?
Ye Tian turned over and got up in confusion, walked into the bathroom and started taking a shower. When the hot water flowed on his body, he was also thinking about why this kind of change occurred.
After thinking about it, it can only be associated with the superpowers of both eyes.
It seems that most of the spiritual energy absorbed by the eyes yesterday was used to upgrade superpowers, and a small part was used on oneself to improve one's physical fitness and excrete impurities contained in one's body.
After confirming the reason, Ye Tian immediately felt excited. His physical condition is a bit bad now and he should have exercised a long time ago! This is a good thing that suddenly comes, of course he can't ask for!
The body is the capital of revolution, and this cannot be true!
After taking a shower, I felt refreshed, my whole body was transparent and comfortable, as if every cell was roaring, and my whole body was a little lighter than yesterday.
Ye Tian found that his skin became shiny and elastic than before, and his muscle lines also changed, making it more stylish and smoother. Although the change was not large, it was visible to the naked eye!
Then he did a few push-ups, which were much easier than before, and obviously his strength increased.
The most obvious change is the scar on the thigh.
This was the injury I suffered when I was a teenager. I had more than a dozen stitches at that time, leaving an ugly scar on my legs, which looked like a centipede, a little scary, and it became a little dimmed at this moment.
It seems that as long as you come here a few more times, the scar will completely disappear from you!
After the surprise, Ye Tian changed into a set of bedding, then turned on the computer and started browsing the news.
There is something he must make sure of, otherwise he will always feel a little nervous.
That is the follow-up progress of the Metropolitan Museum incident yesterday. Let’s see how the museum and the police characterize this incident and whether there are any discoveries.
Soon, he saw authoritative reports on the online social news of the New York Times, good news!
Of course, the museum and the police cannot find the culprit that caused the shocking change. It can only be attributed to the natural aging of the cultural relics and the improper storage measures, which is why this result is caused, which is very regrettable!
The news also mentioned serious concerns from the RB government and people, as well as their dissatisfaction with the protection of cultural relics at the Metropolitan Museum.
For all RB people, yesterday was an unfortunate day. They lost a national treasure and a work that reflected the RB national spirit and integrity.
Seeing these related reports, Ye Tian immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.
This matter has basically been revealed. As long as you are careful in the future and don’t show any flaws, no one will find you.
As for the dissatisfaction and pain of the vast majority of RB people, let him go, do whatever he wants!
The Chinese people have been dissatisfied with them for hundreds of years! Let’s take a small interest!
...
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Ye Tian carried his bag and arrived at the dumbo Dumbo flea market on time. He was just under the Brooklyn Bridge, and only walked for more than ten minutes from where he lived.
At this moment, the flea market just opened, and while the stall owners were setting up the stall, he also started a treasure hunt.
Today, his purpose is very clear. He does not consider old goods, only buy antiques with halos, and does not buy large items, only small items that are convenient to carry.
If you have a car, you don't have to consider these.
Unfortunately, his car had already entered the second-hand market, and then entered Susan's wallet and his own belly.
Another thing he was also very clear: before fully controlling the superpowers of eyes, he would never see through the antiques here! Avoid the absorption of spiritual energy happening again, and it would be unlucky!
According to his estimate, after the supernatural power upgrade and physical fitness improvement, the spiritual energy absorbed yesterday should have been consumed almost the same. If you look at the antiques now, the scene in the museum will probably happen yesterday!
Now that the market has just opened, there are not many stalls, not many customers, and not many professional treasurers. This is the best time to show off.
The treasure hunt begins!
Ye Tian started to sweep from the first stall entering the venue.
The stall is full of kitchen supplies. At first glance, there are no luminous items. Looking at the inventory behind the stall owner, the same is true.
No antiques!
Ye Tian glanced at him and then walked away, not even using five seconds!
The second house has hung a large row of old clothes and women's bags, including many famous brands, but they are still far from antiques!
Ye Tian didn't stop for a moment, and glanced over and passed.
Although this stall has no value in his eyes, it is very popular in the flea market.
Although the old beauty is wasting her, spending money tomorrow today, in some places, they are very economical and rational, which is typical pragmatism!
For example, in terms of attitude towards second-hand goods, as long as you are an American, no matter the richest man or a beggar, everyone does not reject the use of second-hand goods, and many people still have a special liking!
This has also created their unique tertiary culture, and has given birth to many second-hand stores and extremely active treasure hunters.
Second-hand cars, second-hand clothes, etc., as long as they are not second-hand food, they will basically not refuse it. They are so at ease that they have no idea of losing their share.
And this is a bit incredible in the eyes of the Chinese.
In the eyes of Chinese people, if it weren’t for the difficulty of living, who would have been willing to use second-hand goods! Not to mention the clothes they have worn.
There are already several people picking clothes in this second-hand clothing stall, such as students from universities in New York, and everyone is very enthusiastic and very excited.
The third stall sells groceries, and he also gets nothing. Ye Tian stays for a few seconds and leaves quickly.
"Huh!"
As soon as I walked to the fourth stall, my surprise fell from the sky!
A white light suddenly appeared in his eyes, making Ye Tian extremely excited and he couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
This is a small round table of cherry wood in Baroque style, with gorgeous shapes, soft lines and good workmanship.
The appearance you can see in your eyes is not damaged, it is a well-preserved old furniture.
But this is all secondary. The most important thing in Ye Tian’s eyes is the white light it emits and the two layers of halos outside the light.
The age can basically be judged from the brightness of the white light. This small round table has a history of about 70 years and has been from the 1930s and 1940s.
The radiant halo shows that this small table has certain artistic value and is not a big street product that can be seen everywhere.
Although I don’t plan to buy a large item today, this is the first antique I saw today. Ye Tian still couldn’t help but want to ask.
"Hello, can you take a look at this round table?"
Ye Tian asked the stall owner with a smile.
"Yes, lightweight!"
The white stall owner nodded and agreed, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
"OK!"
Ye Tian responded and immediately stepped forward and squatted down to start checking.
There is no need to identify the age and artistic value. Just check if there is any damage on the back and underneath, and the speed is very fast.
A minute later, Ye Tian stood up with satisfaction and asked with a smile:
"Hello sir, I like this table very much. Can you ask about the price? How much do you plan to sell it? If possible, I want to buy it"
Ye Tian was moved!
This is the first antique he encountered when he officially started treasure hunting, which is very memorable, so he planned to buy this small table as a souvenir and keep it for himself.
Moreover, it is very close to the residence, so you can take it home by finding a taxi without delaying anything else.
Hearing Ye Tian’s inquiry, the stall owner immediately replied:
"Thank you for your appreciation, this is a small baroque cherry wood table, very beautiful and intact, I want to sell for fifty dollars, if you can accept it, you can take it away by paying it"
This is to say that Americans are honest, and the prices of old goods are more realistic and even lower.
If this is in Panjiayuan, the capital city, it will definitely be a process of asking for a huge price and repaying the money.
In the mouth of the owner of Panjiayuan, his chamber pots were all used by Emperor Qianlong!
Not only will they offer a sky-high price that will shock you, but they can also tell a touching story that will make you feel sorry for him if you don’t buy it, and you will miss a rare treasure!
When Ye Tian heard the price offered by the stall owner, he almost agreed, but he still held back and started bargaining.
"Fifty dollars! Too expensive! I think twenty dollars is more reasonable, do you think it's OK?"
The stall owner was a little disappointed and shook his head and replied:
"No, twenty dollars are too low, I can't accept it"
"That's thirty dollars, the price is very reasonable. If you go to IKEA to buy a brand new one, it's just this price."
Ye Tian did not give up and then opened a new price.
The stall owner pondered for a while, but shook his head and refused.
