“What?!” The old man thought he had heard wrong and asked loudly, “How much did you say?”
Bai Lin raised her eyes slightly, making her look innocent. “500 Yuan.”
“Y-you…” The old man pointed at Bai Lin and said “you” a few times, stammering.
He had never heard of such haggling!
“Youngdy, this is an authentic ice-crack porcin from the official kiln from the Song Dynasty. I want to sell it for 3,000,000 Yuan, but you’re offering 500 Yuan straightaway. You’re making it difficult for me.”<div>

“My ex-husband is gone, my family business is auctioned off to pay debts, and I’m all alone with my child. l… Sob…” Bai Lin pretended to be a sad single mother. It was a pity that she had not learned any of Yan Ruffs exquisite acting skills even when she had spent quite some time with him.
The old man could tell that she was pretending.
“Youngdy, I’ll give you a 10% discount. It’s a fixed price of 2,700,000 Yuan. Stop acting.”
What burial? What debt? Would a poor persone here to buy such things?
One was no ordinary person to be able to enter the ck market of City A.
Bai Lin saw that acting pitiful did not work, so she immediately changed her expression.
“Old man, you’ve been setting up this stall here for more than two or three days, right?”
The old man was puzzled by Bai Lin’s sudden change in tactics.
However, she was right.
He had been here for more than two or three days. He had been here for a week! Unfortunately, there were not many people who came to the ck market, and everyone basically had a rtively clear target. He had never sold any of these precious and real antiques.
These days, it was all thanks to the young man’s petty theft outside that the two of them could barely fill their stomachs.
“No matter how many days I’ve been here, this cup can’t be lower than two million Yuan.” The old man pouted and looked at Bai Lin. His wrinkled face looked a little funny.
“Don’t you want to sit in a bright and spacious restaurant and eat a hot and aromatic meal?” Bai Lin’s smile was sly. She could tell that this person had not had a good meal for a few days. Moreover, there was a thinyer of dust on the surface of these antiques. If one did not look carefully, one would not notice it.
After all, this was an underground space, and the renovation was not particrly detailed. It was inevitable that dust would fall if it was ced in one ce for a long time.
All of these could only mean that the old man had no money. There were only a few pieces of porcin that could not be eaten, and he did not dare to take them to a regr auction house. This meant that the origin of these porcin pieces might be a little shady.
As long as she grasped this point, she did not have to worry that she would not be able to get this small ice crack patterned cup for 500 Yuan.
“500 Yuan… that should be enough for two people to have a full meal.” Bai Lin’s words shocked the old man.
The young man had only been peeking from a distance and did note forward. He did not keep staring at them either, so how did Bai Lin know that there were two of them?
What kind of detailed detection ability was this? She… What had she experienced all these years?
If she had grown up with them…
The old man closed his eyes and threw away those thoughts. He focused on bargaining with Bai Lin.
“It doesn’t matter now people there are! 500 Yuan IS ridiculous! “The old man pped his thigh. “Just take it as I’m trying to get a good start. 888,000 Yuan, I can’t go any lower!”
Bai Lin stood up and sighed when she saw how stubborn he was.
“Sigh, if you had sold it to me, you would’ve been able to eat your fill tonight. It’s a pity you’re not selling it.” She shook her head with a helpless expression. “l don’t think you can sell these treasures for the next few days. There’s an official porcin exhibition up there next month, and people are waiting to send their porcins there for auctions. Who’de here to buy porcins at this time?”
The old man was furious at Bai Lin’s words, but she did make sense. “600,000
Yuan then.’
“Are you selling for 500 Yuan or not?” Bai Lin asked.
The old man replied, “Absolutely not! 300,000 Yuan!”
Bai Lin turned around and said, “I’m not buying. I’m going home. I’m going to the porcin exhibition next month.” “50,000 Yuan. How about 50,000?!”
Bai Lin took two more steps forward.
“Aiya! Come back! 500 Yuan it is!” The old man’s anxious voice was heard.
Bai Lin chuckled as she turned around. The payment page was already on her phone.
“Come, I’ll scan your code..”</font>
