Chapter 33: A True Profit

"Will you continue shopping this afternoon?"

After the dishes and meat came up, Huang Yanyan didn't care at all and used chopsticks to pick up the mutton and dipped it in the copper pot with Gao Dongxu. While eating, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Gao Dongxu opposite her and asked.

"No, I plan to look for a storefront for rent nearby this afternoon..." Gao Dongxu put the mutton covered with sauce into his mouth.

"Are you really planning to open a shop?"

"Well, the antique business is too expensive. I only make money but never spend it. I don't have that much money..."

"I didn't see you spend much money this morning. You just picked up bargains."

"Do you think you can be so lucky every day? Many good things still cost a lot of money. For example, the set of seven jade rings from the Qing Dynasty Qianlong period from your Huang Jiarui Xiangfeng is priced at eight million..." Gao Dongxu said helplessly as he looked at Huang Yanyan, whose smiling eyes curved into crescents and who seemed to be gloating.

"That set of jade rings isn't expensive. If it goes up for auction in a few years, it could fetch at least tens of millions. The seven rings each have a different shape and are made of different materials. Their colors range from white as snow to yellow as chestnut, intermingled with each other, complementing each other beautifully. Three of them feature Qianlong's imperial inscriptions: "Seven-Character Verse on a White Jade Ring," "Inscription on an Ancient Ganhuang Jade Ring," and "Poem on a Jade Hairpin." Another extremely rare ring features a dragon pattern and the Qian Gua hexagram. Its unique Qianlong inscription is the same as the antique rings in the museum. Eight million is truly a steal."

When talking about her own treasures, Huang Yanyan talked with a smile, praising her things as rare in the world, with a look of self-promotion.

"You also said that it will take a few years to cash it in and make money." Gao Dongxu laughed. In fact, he almost gritted his teeth and bought this set of cardboards at the beginning, because four of the seven pieces were spiritual. However, the Huang family insisted on selling the seven pieces as a set instead of selling them individually. Although the other three pieces were also good antiques, to him, without spiritual energy, they were just antiques.

In addition, he didn't have much money, so he temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​buying. Anyway, as long as he spent more time, he could also find cheap and spiritual antiques.

"Give me that amber bracelet, and I'll give you a discount." Huang Yanyan's red lips curled up slightly, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a cunning look, and she looked at Gao Dongxu with a seductive smile.

"and--"

Gao Dongxu raised his eyebrows in disdain and said, "Instead of thinking about my golden amber, you might as well eat more chicken breast to replenish yourself..." As he said that, he glanced at Huang Yanyan with disgust.

"You - stinky MANG, I'm going to kick you to death -" Huang Yanyan's pretty face turned red, and she almost exploded with shame and anger. She kept kicking Gao Dongxu's calves with her toes under the table as he dodged left and right.

To be honest, if it was any other stranger who dared to tease her, Huang Yanyan would have taken action long ago. However, from the moment she met Gao Dongxu today, and then the contact, bickering and confrontation this morning, Huang Yanyan felt curious about Gao Dongxu and had a slight liking for him. Of course, the bickering this morning made her understand and accept Gao Dongxu's ruffian nature and flirtation, so as long as it was not too excessive, she could still accept it.

The young lady who has been spoiled and indulged since childhood and has a cold and elegant appearance all day long, is naturally novel and exciting when she encounters the various verbal teasings of the handsome Gao Dongxu.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Gao Dongxu himself has good conditions, and the most important thing is the ability to appraise treasures. This is what will make Huang Yanyan look at him differently, and arouse her curiosity and good impression.

If it were any other ordinary stranger, would Huang Yanyan have given him a second glance? Her coolness was an act, but her tsundereness wasn't; it was ingrained in her since childhood. "Alright, I surrender. I admit my mistake. I apologize..." Gao Dongxu knew when to stop. He couldn't tease someone as innocent and innocent as Huang Yanyan constantly. Too much would backfire. After being kicked under the table a few times, he raised his hands in pain and surrendered.

"Hmph - if you dare to talk nonsense to me again, I will kick you to death." Seeing Gao Dongxu begging for mercy, and having avenged herself by kicking him, Huang Yanyan, who had calmed down, snorted coldly and said coquettishly.

"Haha, I don't dare anymore..." Gao Dongxu raised his hands in surrender with a smile.

The two stopped fighting and picked up their chopsticks to eat again. Under Gao Dongxu's intentional guidance, Huang Yanyan would be amused from time to time, in return for all kinds of charming rolls of the eyes and uncontrollable upturned corners of her mouth from the beauty.

A burst of phone music interrupted the atmosphere that was making the relationship between the two people progress by leaps and bounds. After Huang Yanyan glanced at her phone, she seemed to be pulled back to the real world. Her pretty face with a sweet smile became cold again. She picked up the phone, looked at the smiling Gao Dongxu, and after a few "hmm"s to the other end of the phone, she said, "I'll be back right away," and hung up.

"In a hurry?"

"Well, I'm leaving first. I'll call you in three days if you dare to stand me up..." Huang Yanyan stood up decisively and picked up the helmet beside her. At the end, she did not forget to clench her fists and gesture to threaten Gao Dongxu.

"Haha, don't worry, I still want the Tianqi Tongbao." Gao Dongxu stood up to see him off and said with a smile.

"Hmph, let's go. You continue eating. No need to see me off—" Huang Yanyan turned around and left very casually. Gao Dongxu looked at her tall and slender back, smiling with his eyes slightly narrowed. At this moment, Huang Yanyan walked out of Ma's Shabu Shabu with a slightly raised corner of her red lips.

Gao Dongxu sat down again and began to enjoy the hot pot alone.

With the nourishment of spiritual energy, his body became stronger and stronger, and his strength increased. Similarly, his appetite also increased a lot. So, after he had eaten and drunk his fill, the six plates of mutton on the table had all been cleared away.

After paying the bill, Gao Dongxu first put the porcelain in his backpack into the trunk of the Ferrari, and then began to look for shops for rent along the street. At the same time, he did not forget to visit those antique shops and spend money to buy the cheapest Seagull Five Yuan in the second set of RMB. A Big Black Eleven can be sold for three or five hundred thousand, while a Seagull Five Yuan, a brand new one only sells for 3000 yuan, and those in average condition are around 200 yuan.

I sold the Big Black Ten and bought Seagull Five Yuan notes and various grain coupons issued after May 62 that were worth very little, including oil coupons, sugar coupons, vegetable coupons, cigarette coupons, soap coupons, cotton coupons, and bicycle coupons. . .

In addition to ordinary food stamps, there was also a type called "National Food Stamps." These were the "hard currency" of the 10s and were extremely popular. Besides being valid nationwide, possessing a National Food Stamp meant that a family could receive 30 to kilograms more food than others.

According to the market prices Gao Dongxu had inquired about, the black market price of one jin of Beijing grain coupons was 3 yuan, the black market price of one jin of national grain coupons was 4 yuan, and the black market price of one jin of Beijing flour coupons was 5 yuan...

These tickets, which are not worth much in modern times, could not only provide his family with enough food and drink to live a good life in 62, but also allow Gao Dongxu to secretly purchase a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings that he could bring back to modern times and sell at sky-high prices, as well as Angong Niuhuang Pills, which are regarded as life-saving medicine by countless people and cost as little as yuan each. Of course, there would also be Maotai liquor from that era that could also be sold at sky-high prices...

For Gao Dongxu, the courtyard world is absolutely full of treasures. As for changing the world, he has thought about it, but after careful consideration, he chose to give up, live well, accumulate resources, survive the turmoil, and enjoy the good life brought by wealth. Isn't it great?
