"Okay, you can arrange these things."

"Let's take one thing to the picture framing shop and ask the owner if he has any connections. We can still sell it for a good price."

Wen Yuan: It’s up to you to decide.

"Wen Yuan, come with me. It's five minutes to the storage room downstairs in my house. I'll take you there on my electric bike."

"Okay, I want to ride too."

"Okay, find an open space and learn how to ride a bike or drive a car."

With his long legs hanging on both sides of the small electric car, Wen Yuan observed the flow of people in the big city with curiosity. Everyone was wearing masks and helmets, and Wen Yuan's behavior did not attract anyone's attention.

The two of them came to a picture framing shop, and there happened to be an old man in his sixties or seventies picking up framed calligraphy and paintings.

Qiuqiu and Wen Yuan waited inside for a while. After the handover, Qiuqiu took out a gold bracelet and said, "Boss, are you done? Here's an old item. My elderly family member didn't take good care of it. I'm afraid it will be delayed if I keep it. Can you take a look at it?"

Pushing the gold bracelet forward, the boss took out a set of equipment for identifying things and examined it carefully with a magnifying glass. "This is indeed an old item, but it's not well preserved. It's not worth much."

"Boss, give me a fair price."

The boss did a simple cleanup, weighed the weight, calculated for a long time, and quoted a price of 13,000.

"Boss, you just calculated the gold price. This old item is over 200 years old."

“There aren’t many people here who really understand this, so we can’t sell it at a high price.”

Qiuqiu was a little disappointed, and Wen Yuan whispered, "This is the boss's desired price, he didn't deliberately lower the price." Such a useful mind-reading skill.

Just as he was about to take the bracelet back, the man who had taken the painting saw him and came back, "Boss, this package can be placed flat, but it won't work if it's standing up in the car. Can you wrap the four corners for me?"

Qiuqiu took back the bracelet and was about to leave when Wen Yuan comforted her, "This bracelet isn't three hundred years old, it's over four hundred. The three hundred years is the time it's been buried underground. If it gets rusty, will it lose its value?"

"Well, let's take it to the provincial capital to sell it. We don't have any acquaintances there. The price this uncle gave is really too low. He gave the price for an ordinary gold bracelet, and he didn't treat it as an antique from three or four hundred years ago."

"Do you have antiques from three or four hundred years ago? Can I take a look?"

Qiuqiu looked at the shop owner. In the shop, one should still respect the owner.

"This is an old customer. You can ask him to take a look. Maybe he can find a good buyer for you."

Qiuqiu handed the gold bracelet to the old man and, with the help of the boss's simple equipment, carefully examined it for a while. "It is indeed an old item, but it has no research value. It is not made by a famous craftsman. It will not sell for a high price here." Then he asked the boss, "How much did you offer?"

"Thirteen thousand, guaranteed price."

"It's a real price, young lady, young man. I'll give you 18,000. If it's suitable, we can trade. I'll pay the boss 500 yuan for the venue fee."

Qiuqiu agreed. "I'll pay the three hundred yuan site fee and borrow your expensive space. I can sell it, but you have to take a photo of the bracelet after you repair it. It belonged to an elderly family member. I sold it because I couldn't fix it myself and couldn't bear to see it completely ruined. A photo of the repaired bracelet will also reassure the elderly family member."

"That's no problem. I'll add you as my friend and transfer the money to you. I'll keep the photo-taking incident in mind."

The transaction was complete, and Qiuqiu and Wen Yuan left the shop. They had enough funds for short-term operations. They could sell the corrupted silver ingots later.

There are more than ten days left during the National Day holiday and the annual leave, so Qiuqiu and Wen Yuan decided to visit the four places they had selected.

First of all, there is the transportation problem. Wen Na has a driver's license, but no car. Her husband, mother-in-law, husband, and younger brother all have cars, but she doesn't want others to know about her travels.

I told my family that I was going on a trip and attending a classmate’s wedding banquet. How to solve the car problem?

Qiuqiu: "I miss the hovercraft so much. We don't even have a car. Wen Na is having a hard time."

Wen Yuan: "Can't we just buy one? Don't we have money?"

I thought about the more than 10,000 yuan that just arrived in my account, and wondered what kind of car I could buy.

Okay, let this mountain kid who has never seen the world see something. More than ten thousand yuan can only buy a pair of wheels. Anyway, there is a Volkswagen 4S direct sales store on the way home. It doesn’t cost money to check it out. There is a promotion on October st now, and the prices are much cheaper.

Qiuqiu took Wen Yuan into the crowd of people participating in the lottery, entered the exhibition hall, and looked at the cars one by one, his eyes focused on the prices: "See, the cheapest one costs the price of five or six bracelets. We can't afford it with our little money."

The shopping guide next to them enthusiastically introduced the car models. Wen Yuan had an extraordinary temperament and Qiuqiu was ethereal like a fairy. The two of them did not look like they could not afford a car.

I just felt that I wasn't pushing the sales hard enough. "This October 1st promotion is really big, with really great discounts. This big discount is only for today, and the discount will be higher tomorrow."

Qiuqiu could hardly resist the young lady's enthusiasm, and hurriedly pulled Wen Yuan out.

The sales lady saw the intention and said, "Here are two raffle tickets. You two can enter the raffle and at least get a souvenir."

The sales guy next to me was also explaining this. The woman in her forties or fifties said, "Isn't it possible that we're going to wait in line for half a day and end up with a bag of toilet paper? I don't have time to wait here for the lottery."

"No, the participation prize is a tea set."

"Those thermos bottles that cost a few dollars, even the water you drink tastes like rust."

"No, it's this space cup. You can put it in your car or take it with you when traveling. The nationwide price is 88."

"Hmph, I don't want it. I'll go and take another look. Domestic cars are more cost-effective now."

Wen Yuan: "Can you give it to me?"

Salesman: “What?”

"Can I have her raffle ticket?"

"Don't you have two?"

"This is mine, this is Wen Na's, and this is the female comrade just now."

"This shouldn't be allowed. Each person only has one free lottery chance."

"Then I don't want it. I want to draw two more cups and a grand prize. We need a car."

A manager nearby came over immediately and said, "I can give you another free raffle ticket. It belongs to that lady and can't be given away casually. Winning the prize will cause disputes."

As he said that, he took out a lottery ticket from the drawer of the booth, which was slightly different from the one in Qiuqiu's hand.

Qiuqiu: "Thank you, Manager. The grand prize here is a car of your choice, 12% off the list price, plus a range of insurance. We came here just for this preferential policy."

It was already afternoon, and Qiuqiu saw that there were not many people queuing for the lottery, so he lined up at the back with peace of mind.

Qiuqiu: I have never experienced such a boring and leisurely life.
