Chapter 505: Chapter 506 Back to the Antique Market_1
"Honey, let’s go together, let’s have some fun at the antique market." At this moment, Qian Ziwei also spoke up.
Actually, after hearing what Lin Ruonan had said about that incident, Qian Ziwei was already very excited.
Although when in Huacheng, Li Changlin had bought her a jade pendant, the effect was significantly different from that of a jade unearthed from a raw stone.
"Okay, then get ready, we’ll leave in ten minutes." All three beauties had spoken, and Li Changlin had no choice but to agree.
It was fortunate that Luo Tianyi had suggested wearing masks; otherwise, Li Changlin would never have dared to agree.
After all, both Luo Tianyi and Ye Xiyao were public figures!
Less than ten minutes later, all three women were ready.
In reality, there wasn’t much to prepare, mainly just a bit of makeup to disguise their appearances, and of course a visit to the bathroom to relieve themselves.
Afterward, the group set off. The four of them left the house and quickly reached the outside of the residential area.
Since the antique market was in the North District and somewhat far from here, they didn’t take the bus and instead hailed a taxi to get there.
When they arrived at the antique market, it was almost ten o’clock. As the four people walked through the archway, Li Changlin suddenly remembered something, "Ziwei, this way you won’t be able to open for business at noon!"
"It’s okay, we’ll just open in the afternoon!" Qian Ziwei wasn’t worried at all and still looked very proud.
Good cooking skills afford such capriciousness.
Her customers had already been spoiled by Qian Ziwei’s culinary magic.
Those regulars weren’t going anywhere.
Even if she didn’t do business this one mealtime, as soon as Qian Ziwei opened her doors, they would still obediently come to support her.
Such is the power of delicious food; no one can resist it.
"Lucky for me that Ziwei is my wife!" Li Changlin quietly offered a moment of silence for those customers, feeling exceedingly proud.
With no further worries, Li Changlin led the three women straight to the raw stone area.
This time, not only the three women but also Li Changlin wore masks.
Due to his good looks, Li Changlin had been noticed by women more than once or twice, so to avoid these hassles, he certainly needed to conceal his features.
The group arrived at the raw stone area and found that the place was already crowded with people, some of whom were excitedly shouting.
"Haha, it’s up, the price has gone up, buddy, you’re lucky!"
"It really shows green, I reckon this time we’ll get something good."
"This guy’s luck is just too awesome!"
The onlooking crowd was several layers thick, and hearing the cacophonous voices, Li Changlin couldn’t help but reveal a playful smile.
"Brother Changlin, let’s choose a raw stone too!" Ye Xiyao was eager to try as well; to be honest, she’d been to stone gambling with friends before but ultimately did not participate.
Ye Xiyao had always harbored a bit of regret, and having come to the raw stone market with Li Changlin, she was now entertaining the thought of taking a gamble.
"Sure, let’s go over there." Li Changlin smiled and nodded, then led the three women to the raw stone area.
Here, the staff saw customers approaching and someone quickly came forward, "Ladies and gentleman, are you looking to purchase raw stones?"
"We’ll just look around first, and then call you if we see something we like," Li Changlin waved his hand, speaking indifferently.
Because he had made quite an impression at Xinyuan last time, he chose not to go there this time.
The shop named Feiyun Raw Stones seemed to have better customer service than Xinyuan.
Hearing what Li Changlin had said, the staff did not continue to follow them.
Li Changlin led the three of them, slowly wandering through the raw stone market.
As they walked, Li Changlin asked Ling’er to use a bottle of Clairvoyance Potion on him.
This stuff was a real treasure; in situations like these, it was too perfect.
With the help of the Clairvoyance Potion, Li Changlin quickly spotted some raw stone blocks that contained jade.
But, the quality of the jade was not very good.
So, Li Changlin just glanced at them casually and then gave up on them right away.
The four of them walked around, almost completing a full lap around the market, yet they surprisingly didn’t find any raw stone blocks of good quality.
"Brother Changlin, I want that one," suddenly Luo Tianyi said, pointing excitedly.
Following the direction of Luo Tianyi’s finger, Li Changlin noticed it was a rather square raw stone.
However, there was not even a hint of jade within it.
"You want this one!" Seeing nothing inside, Li Changlin cleared his throat, preparing to give Luo Tianyi a heads-up.
"Yes, I want this one. I want to try my luck," said Luo Tianyi, rubbing her hands together, looking very excited.
Seeing her look, Li Changlin hesitated for a moment and then decided not to dissuade her.
Honestly, the raw stone block wasn’t very big, and the price should not be too steep.
Given that, it wasn’t worth it to dash Luo Tianyi’s hopes over a matter of money.
So, after seeing her determination, Li Changlin waved over a staffer and had them bring out the raw stone.
"This raw stone is 160,000." The raw stone block wasn’t large, weighing about forty to fifty pounds.
After the staff brought it out, the price was quoted directly.
"That’s so expensive!" Luo Tianyi was taken aback. She had thought that these stones would only cost a few hundred or a thousand.
But she hadn’t expected a stone weighing tens of pounds to be priced at over a hundred thousand; it was almost like a robbery!
"Not expensive, miss. Our pricing here is transparent, we won’t overcharge you," the worker quickly explained, thinking Luo Tianyi might back out.
"No problem, bring me that POS machine for payment," Although tens of thousands was quite a lot, Li Changlin was willing to spend it to make Luo Tianyi happy.
Even though he knew well that this raw stone wouldn’t yield anything, he didn’t let it show on his face at all.
"Okay, boss, please wait a moment." Seeing that Li Changlin was going to purchase, the staff member nodded happily and then ran back to the shop.
Shortly after, the staffer came back with the POS machine. Li Changlin paid with his card and then asked him to take the stone for cutting.
"Let’s all go watch," Li Changlin said with a smile, shaking his head at Luo Tianyi’s excitement before turning to look at Qian Ziwei and Ye Xiyao.
"Okay," both women nodded. By this time, Luo Tianyi had already followed the staffer to the cutting area.
