Chapter 629
However, just as Gu Readming’s words fell, Grandmaster Lin, who was on the side, spoke up.
“Boss Gu, this person of mine doesn’t like to be disturbed by people on the side when picking out magic weapons, so look, can you let them go out first!”
“Hm?”
Gu Read Ming’s face instantly turned gloomy at his words, and he said in a cold voice.
“Master Lin, did you not understand what I just said?”
“No, no, I naturally understood, but I have my rules too!”
Grandmaster Lin laughed blandly, then pointed at the three Lin Rans on the side and said disdainfully.
“With a status like mine, Grandmaster Lin, I really don’t want to be with three poor people, looking at goods together, and most importantly, do these three people know what feng shui is? Letting me pick with them is simply an insult to my status!”
“Hey, F**k me! What a drag, you’re still talking to me about feng shui, do you know how to spell the word feng shui, old B*****d? I don’t want to see the goods with you, so get lost! Don’t F**king take the eye of me here!”
Wang Yifeng said with displeasure.
“Fatty!”
Lin Ran spoke up and stopped Fatty, looking towards Master Lin and smiling blandly.
“If Grandmaster Lin doesn’t want to look at the goods with us, he can go out on his own, and as for whether we’re poor or don’t know feng shui, does it have anything to do with you?”
“Naturally it has nothing to do with me, but don’t you also want us to go out first, what reputation do I, Master Lin, have in the feng shui world of Tanjiang City, is also something you can think of? Although I don’t know what your relationship with Boss Gu is, but not understanding is not understanding, think you can understand feng shui by relying on your relationship?”
Master Lin said disdainfully.
Lin Ran, however, laughed.
“Do we understand or not, why don’t Master Lin just try, with a pretty smooth mouth, how much do you know?”
“Huh, you kid is still coming on!”
Master Lin was stunned, and immediately went forward and pointed at the shelf in front of him, the nearest piece of goods, and said.
“Come! Tell me what it is, what it does, how much it’s worth, say it and I won’t be talking nonsense, you can look at the goods with me, but if you can’t say it, or if you say it wrong, your family will immediately get the hell out of my house, don’t you dare?”
“Yes! How dare you! Coward, I think you just don’t dare!”
Peng, who was at the side, interjected and mocked, he had easily found a chance to dislike Lin Ran, how could he miss it.
“Are you sure you want to play?”
Lin Ran laughed.
“Why don’t you dare? If you don’t dare, get lost immediately!”
To the side, Brother Peng laughed disdainfully.
“Heh!”
Lin Ran smiled even wider and immediately said.
“It’s not impossible to have a little fun, but this bet is a bit inadequate, like this! If I say up, that means I’m qualified, how about you guys pay for the things I choose later?”
“Hm?”
Master Lin looked at Lin Ran with micron eyes, not knowing what medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.
Lin Ran smiled lightly and said.
“Of course, if I can’t say up, I, Lin Ran, will pay for what you guys buy later, dare to play?”
“You’re buying the bill? What are you going to pay for? With the clothes you’re wearing, which are almost torn? Don’t tease me!”
Brother Peng couldn’t help but laugh.
Master Lin, however, listened with a slight frown, Lin Ran’s words were obviously very informative about himself, did he really look away?
As the thought was going through his mind, Lin Ran on the side was speaking up.
“Do I have any money, you don’t have to worry, even if I sell my blood I can still get enough, now you just need to go back to whether I dare to take it or not!”
“Holy Sh*t! You’re still F**king angry, do I care about this amount of money? Take it!”
Peng said angrily, before Grandmaster Lin on the side could say anything, this guy had already taken the bet.
“What about you, Master Lin? This bet was proposed by you, why now you wouldn’t dare to play, right?”
Lin Ran, looked at Grandmaster Lin and smiled blandly.
“Fine!”
Grandmaster Lin’s face sank as he said in a cold voice.
“Since you’re so confident, then let’s play then! Now say it, what is it, what does it do, and how much is it worth.”
“Wait a moment!”
Lin Ran smiled blandly at his words, following which he turned his head to look at the item that Master Lin was pointing at.
It was a vessel similar to an ancient tripod, with an overall size of almost two basketballs, not too big to say but definitely not too small either, after all, this type of bronze type of ancient tripod was itself very rare, and even fewer were prominent in history.
For example, the Simuwu tripod, the Four Sheep Square, the Mao Gong tripod and the Dake tripod are all rare, and more often than not, these are medium-sized and smaller decorative tripods.
“This medium tripod would have been a product of the Song dynasty period, when imitation bronze ceremonial tripods were prevalent, so this type of tripod was also commonly used for rituals to heaven and earth, temples, wedding banquets, and pilgrimages!”
“As for the value, the benevolent will see the wise, in my opinion, the body of this vessel is corroded, only the overall appearance is still good, the market price will not be higher than 100,000 yuan, anxious to sell at most 60,000 to 70,000, not anxious to sell to about 100,000”
Lin Ran said a lot, and regardless of whether everyone understood or not, he directly turned to look at Master Lin and asked with a smile.
“I wonder, Master Lin, am I right?”
“Grandmaster?”
On the side, Peng was so nervous, he didn’t know anything about antiques at all, but hearing what Lin Ran said, he couldn’t help but be confused too!”
Master Lin’s brow furrowed as he watched Lin Ran fall into silence, and a moment later snapped to point at a statue on the other side of the shelf for a quick question.
“Where is it?”
“Recent times about the statue, it’s an imitation not worth much, ten thousand at most!”
Lin Ran almost didn’t even think about it and blurted it out straight away.
“What about this one?”
Master Lin asked, undeterred, pointing to another clay pot-like object.
“A private work made in Jingdezhen, worth fifty thousand!”
Lin Ran returned once again.
Master Lin still wanted to ask, but he was stopped by Wang Yifeng, who was standing by.
“Are you finished! If you can’t afford to lose, just say so, you’re addicted to asking, you can’t be an old man who doesn’t know anything!”
“Humph!”
Master Lin snorted coldly and turned away from the two, then greeted Brother Peng.
“Let’s go! Let’s go in and pick something out!”
“Huh? Then they?”
Brother Peng was stunned and wanted to say something else before Face was indeed already striding out.
“Hey hey! What’s the rush, don’t forget this block, remember to pay later!”
Wang a shouted, next to Luo Qiqi also laughed.
“Brother Lin Ran you’re awesome, this is great, you’ve saved a huge amount of money again!”
“Who’s still having trouble with money!”
Lin Ran laughed, then nodded at Gu Read Ming before greeting the two.
“Come on, let’s go and choose too, someone’s paying for it today, don’t be stingy!”
“Haha! That’s a must, at least choose something in the hundreds of thousands, otherwise how can we show how rich and generous Master Lin is!”
Wang Yifei laughed, and deliberately raised the decibel, as if he was afraid that Master Lin and Brother Peng couldn’t hear him.
“D*mn it! Master, just swallow this anger?”
He didn’t really care about half a million dollars, but he just couldn’t swallow it. He was hoping that Master Lin would come and teach Lin Ran a good lesson, and even if he couldn’t beat him, he would at least make him suffer and get his revenge back.
But to his surprise, Grandmaster Lin was also out of his league and came up to suffer a secret loss.
“Don’t worry! Even if he knows a few things, so what! There are only so many really good things in this shop, I really don’t believe he can choose the best!”
Master Lin gritted his teeth and said.
Chapter 630
“Right! The best of these must have been your choice, Master… What do we do now? Where to?”
Brother Peng asked.
Master Lin smiled blandly at his words and pointed directly to the side, laughing.
“The better the item, only the more inconspicuous it should be placed, these people who run antique shops have become elite, I know them too well, the good stuff is bound to be in the corners!”
“Is that so? I’ll do as you say!”
Peng laughed and patted his horse’s back, saying so, but there was nothing he could do if he didn’t listen to Master Lin, after all, he didn’t know anything!
Led by Grandmaster Lin, the two men didn’t even look at the things on the shelves, they went straight to the corner where there was a huge pile of things, some vessels, some clay pots, some bronzes, and even things like the statue of the Goddess of Mercy, it could be said that they were in a mess.
“Master, are all the good things here?”
With some uncertainty in his heart, Peng looked over at Lin Ran and found that they were still picking through the shelves.
“Don’t worry, I have it in my heart! Come and help!”
Master Lin laughed coldly, and at the same time, he began to move the magic weapons, as they were all stacked together, he had no way to look inside, so he could only move them all out piece by piece.
“Yuck, why are they so dirty!”
Just after moving one piece, the dusty sky choked Peng and he couldn’t help but curse, his heart was also a bit beaten up, could good things really be so dirty? Could it be that this Gu Read Ming was also too lazy to do so?
The two of them were very busy, but Lin Ran’s side was leisurely and relaxed, walking around and looking at them, slapping them twice when he came across something he liked, or asking Luo Qiqi to take them to the front and put them there, just picking them out unhurriedly.
After just ten minutes, Lin Ran was the first to choose something, three of them. Seeing Master Lin and Brother Peng still crouching in the corner panning for sand, he didn’t bother to go up to them, sitting in front and drinking the tea brought by Gu Read Ming, so leisurely.
“I say! Can’t you hurry up, picking out something that’s so dilly-dallying, picking through the trash? Do you know that my time is precious?”
Wang Yifeng said impatiently.
“What are you rushing for? What good can you choose from such a block, you don’t know anything!”
The more busy he was, the more he was in such a mess, the more he had in his heart, and this was probably the reason why he had more work in his heart.
“Choose fast is not understand ah? Then you’re still covered in dirt from shopping, so you seem to know more than me! Come on, don’t pick something out later and get yourself into the dirt!”
Wang Yifeng laughed.
Luo Qiqi, who was on the side, laughed at that.
“Fatty, can you not talk so funny, and go into the ground by yourself, how can you pick something and still pick yourself to death!”
“Fat Master I’m just that good, only you guys have a bad eye, you don’t see Fat Master me, instead you see that kid Ranzi, but that’s okay, Fat Master I have Xiao Cui, no worries about no one appreciating me!”
Wang Yifeng laughed smugly.
Lin Ran didn’t bother to pay him any mind, he just laughed and climbed into conversation with Gu Read Ming, finding a random topic to talk about.
The two of them picked for another ten minutes or so and finally went through all the things in the corners, and Master Lin was very satisfied with his selection, but when the two of them came to the front desk with their things in their arms.
That wretched look was what amused the crowd.
“I say, did you guys just come back from digging for coal?”
Wang Yifeng laughed.
“What just came back from digging for coal, cut the F**king crap and serve the stuff!”
Peng also knew that he didn’t look good now and didn’t want to bother with this, so he just digressed and went straight to the point.
“This is what we picked out, Master Lin said that it’s a very old artifact, the effect on the house is absolutely good!”
Peng carefully placed the item on the table, full of smugness, while next to him, Master Lin was even more smug all the time, showing Xia Rong, stroking the dust on his beard, full of smugness.
“Boss Gu, open for business, the most important thing is to talk about a credibility, later can hope that you do not pretend to be confused ah, I Lin someone is not what the white, some excessive things pressed do not think!”
“Don’t worry, it all depends on the price, who’s good is good, I won’t be biased, but if some people lose and can’t afford to play, I’d like to advise you not to spill your guts in my shop, I’ve been here for more than ten years, what kind of battles I haven’t seen, I dare to continue opening, naturally I have the ability to solve it!”
The fact that Master Lin had warned him not to take sides with Lin Ran, he would naturally dislike him, this back and forth was quite scheming.
“Good!”
Grandmaster Lin called out good, and immediately pointed to the vessel he had picked out and spoke.
“The one I picked, judging from its appearance, should be an ancient vessel for holding water, and it has a very unique shape, with a curved calibre loop on top and a mouth plug to prevent the smell of the liquid inside from spilling out, and the overall size is moderate, I conclude it should be a vessel for storing wine!”
Master Lin smiled smugly before giving his estimate.
“This item is worth at least around two hundred thousand, am I right?”
“Wrong! Simply wrong!”
As soon as Grandmaster Lin’s words fell, before Gu Readming could say anything, Lin Ran at the side had already risen to give a negative.
“Huh?”
Master Lin frowned at his words and looked directly over.
“Kid, you say it’s outrageously wrong? Then you are telling me exactly where the old man was wrong?”
“No need to say, I don’t even bother to say, what a mess you’re talking about, every single one of them is right about this thing!”
Lin Ran said disdainfully.
“Too lazy to say? I think you don’t know how to say it, did this item picked by the old man ↓ to you?”
Master Lin laughed triumphantly, while Peng, who was on the side, also laughed and shouted in the same way when he saw this.
“I think it’s just scared, seeing that our stuff is better than yours, so you can’t wait to jump out and retort?”
“F**k you code, I don’t believe this is any good stuff, fat master!”
Wang Yifeng cursed and instantly walked towards Master Lin, reaching out and ready to take a good look at what they had picked out.
“Stop!”
But before his palm could fall on it, it was stopped by Gu Readming.
“Mr Wang, you’d better not touch it!”
Gu Readming persuaded with a smile.
“For? Why?”
Wang Yifeng was puzzled, this Gu Read clearly seemed to be with Lin Ran, so why was he actually stopping himself now.
“Why? Afraid you won’t be able to pay for it if you break it understand? Dirtbag!”
Peng scoffed triumphantly, and Master Lin couldn’t help but laugh.
“Love me gra*s!”
Wang Yifeng was instantly angry, but before he could say anything out loud, he was chided by Lin Ran.
“Fatty! Boss Gu told you not to touch it for your own good!”
“How so?”
Wang Yifeng turned his head and asked, naturally he had to listen to what Li Ran had to say.
“Do you know what this thing is?”
Lin Ran asked with a smile.
“I don’t know! Didn’t that old B*****d say something about a vessel for holding wine?”
Wang Yifeng asked rhetorically.
Lin Ran smiled at that but laughed.
“Whether or not it has held liquor, I don’t know! But it certainly held human liquid, and that was a night jug!”
