Chapter 71 Accessories

After chatting with Fatty Sanpao for a while, Fang Yi went to the market to wander around again. Now he needs to buy more cultural beads and go back and do some experiments to see what state he is in to trigger the skill that makes objects become vicissitudes of time.

This time, Fang Yi did not enter the store, but searched for the stalls and visited several stalls one after another. Fang Yi was surprised to hear the stall owners talking about Gu Guoguang's affairs. Of course, almost everyone was putting in trouble, and Fang Yi did not hear a good word from Gu Guoguang.

Although the incident that day was a hot topic, there might be many people who knew Fatty and Sanpao in this huge antique market, but few people knew Fang Yi. The stall owners only thought Fang Yi was a student who came to stroll and did not take care of him when they were talking.

"Do you know that Deputy Director Wu was also brought in yesterday..." A stall owner said mysteriously: "I heard that Gu Guoguang was promoted by him. Half of the money Gu Guoguang earned in this market is filial to Deputy Director Wu..."

"Grandma, I deserve it. How much blood has the Gu surnamed sucked in us over the past few years?"

Another stall owner cursed indignantly, "You know, setting up stalls in the antique market and paying stall fees is only the most basic money, and there are also costs such as sanitation fees, fire protection fees, etc. The most annoying thing is that Gu Guoguang has set up a company's sewage discharge fee. This antique market is not a factory, so where does the abandoned pollution come from?

"Who said no? Yesterday a policeman came to investigate, so I told all the things. It would be better to sentence this grandson to a few more years..."

It seems that Gu Guoguang is indeed hated. The entire antique market applauds Gu Guoguang for being arrested. Those who are braver even went to the police station to report some of Gu Guoguang's violations of discipline.

"Sow the cause the day before yesterday, and get the result today, the cause and effect are really unhappy..."

After hearing the conversation between those people, Fang Yi realized that Gu Guoguang had taken all the matter the day after he entered. Not only did he be guilty of accepting bribes, he also used the proceeds of taking bribes to a leader in the museum. In this way, the leader was also brought into the bureau yesterday.

"Hey, I'm talking about brothers, are you still doing business?"

Seeing those people chatting excitedly, no one came to greet him. Fang Yi picked two strings of 108 small-leaf red sandalwood, two strings of vajra and four strings of star and moon bodhi, and spoke, "These eight strings are 1,000 yuan, boss, will you sell them?"

Judging from the sales situation in the past few days, Xingyue Bodhi should be the best thing to sell, followed by Xiao Jingang's strings. Most of the people who buy Xiao leaf red sandalwood are men, so Fang Yi only took two small leaf red sandalwood as experimental products.

"Eight strings of one thousand, is it a little less? Take away one thousand five..." Seeing that the business came, a young man of twenty-seven or eight years old hurried over, glanced at the beads in Fang Yi's hand, and offered a price.

"Brother, your star and moon are Vietnamese seeds, and the purchase price is not more than fifty, right?" Fang Yi weighed the beads in his hand and said, "This small-leaf red sandalwood is also made of scraps. I will give you a thousand and you will earn at least half of it. If you don't sell it, I will go to another house..."

As the saying goes, the master leads his way to practice. After hearing so much cultural knowledge from the Manchu army Zhao Hongtao and Mr. Sun, Fang Yi could see at a glance that the Star Moon Bodhi was not produced in Hainan. In Zhao Hongtao's words, such things can be seen everywhere in Panjiayuan.

"Oh, he's an expert..."

When the young man heard Fang Yi's words, he looked at the dark-colored diamond bracelet on Fang Yi's hand and immediately understood. He smiled and took the money from Fang Yi's hand and said, "I'll take the money away, but the price of things has increased this year, and it's less than half of it, which is just hard money..."

"Okay, please bring a bag for me..." Fang Yi was going to Zhao Hongtao's place to attend class at noon, and it was not convenient to hold these things. After taking the bag containing the beads, he simply went back to his place to live first.

"How much did these guys drink yesterday? They haven't woken up yet..." It was already past ten o'clock in the morning. As soon as Fang Yi opened the door, he saw Man Jun snoring on the sofa. Walking inside, he walked forward. Sun Chao's snoring in the inner bedroom was no less than Man Jun's.

Fang Yi did not wake up the two of them, and went straight upstairs to put the beads in his room. He had already made a decision when he bought the beads. These beads used as experiments would eventually be destroyed by Fang Yi, otherwise seven or eight strings of old objects would be added at once, and Fang Yi would not be able to explain them at all.

After closing the door and leaving the yard, Fang Yi returned to the market. It took only half an hour to go back to the stall. When he returned to the stall, the fat man was vigorously selling his beads, lifting up his clothes from time to time to wipe off the sweat from his forehead.

"Business is not good today, it's better than yesterday..." Seeing Fang Yi come back, the fat man said, "It seems that men buy a lot of cultural relics. We sell so many strings. Except for Officer Bai who ordered a string, basically all the ones bought by men..."

"Huazi, that's your thing..." Fatty's complaint attracted the voice of Lao Ma next to him. Originally, Lao Ma had already called the nickname Fatty the day before yesterday, but after that incident, Lao Ma changed his words to Huazi.

"Brother Ma, aren't the things the same?" the fat man asked in confusion. He was also wandering around the market. The skewers in other people's houses were basically the same as those in his glass cabinet.

"Are you careful? Many beads in other people's houses are decorated with jewelry..."

Lao Ma was interested in making friends with Fang Yi and others, and pointed to a street stall not far from their stall and said, "Look at Lao Li's star and moon, the Buddha's head is ivory fruit, the waist bead is made of cheap agate, and the top bead is an object that looks like a crane's top red. With these things, girls are willing to buy it..."

"Hey, it's really, it's much more beautiful with the ornament..."

Following Lao Ma's finger, Fang Yi and others looked over. As Lao Ma said, just added a few simple small objects, and the stars and moons seemed to have been given life and became full of spirituality.

What Fang Yi and others didn't know was that the ornament was originally an extremely important part of cultural relics.

If you want to match the top-notch jewelry, it is probably a very precious thing to spend only on the jewelry that can cost more than ten times or even dozens of times the price of beads.

The goods Man Jun bought were all plain beads. He originally planned to put in some more ornaments to put them on again, but at that time Man Jun encountered an opportunity to do antique business, so he threw the batch of cultural beads into the corner of the store, and he took them out until he met Fang Yi and others.

"Brother Ma, are those jewelry expensive? Where can I buy it?" Seeing a girl pick up the stars and moons on her wrists from Lao Li's stall, the fat man's eyes lit up and he quickly asked Lao Ma.

"There are expensive and cheap beads. Just buy some cheap ornaments for you. It costs up to ten yuan to match a string of beads..." Lao Ma said: "We have a wholesale market for these gadgets in Jinling. Why don't I take you to a walk in the afternoon?"
