Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 10 Baroque Small Table

In the early morning, Ye Tian woke up with a faint smell.

After clearing his mind, he soon discovered the source of the odor, which was his own body!

A thin layer of dirt appeared on his body, which was gray-black and sticky, and had a foul smell, as if it was discharged from the body along the pores.

Although there is not much dirt, it seems to stick to the skin, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Underwear and freshly washed bedding were stained, and they also smelled bad.

Did you take a shower last night? How can this happen?

Ye Tian got up in confusion, walked into the bathroom and started to take a shower. When the hot water was running on his body, he was also thinking about why this abnormality occurred.

After thinking about it, it can only be linked to the power of the eyes.

It seems that most of the spiritual energy absorbed by the eyes yesterday was used for power upgrades, and a small part was used on himself to improve his physical fitness and expel the impurities contained in the body.

After determining the reason, Ye Tian immediately felt a burst of excitement. Now his physical condition is a bit poor, he should have exercised a long time ago! Such a good thing suddenly comes, of course it is unbelievable!

The body is the capital of the revolution, this statement couldn't be more correct!

After taking a bath, I immediately felt refreshed, clear and comfortable, as if every cell was cheering, and my whole body was a little lighter than yesterday.

Ye Tian found that his skin had become more lustrous and elastic than before, and his muscle lines had also changed, becoming more stylish and smoother. Although the change was small, it was visible to the naked eye!

Then he did a few more push-ups, much easier than before, and obviously his strength has also increased.

The most obvious change is the scar on the thigh.

This was an injury he suffered while riding a bicycle when he was a teenager. At that time, he had a dozen stitches, leaving an ugly scar on his leg, like a centipede. It was a little scary, and now it has faded.

It seems that as long as you come back a few times, this scar will completely disappear from your body!

After the surprise, Ye Tian changed a new set of bedding, then turned on the computer and began to browse the news.

There was one thing he had to make sure of, otherwise he would always feel a little uneasy.

That's the follow-up to the incident at the Metropolitan Museum yesterday. Let's see how the museum and the police characterize this matter and whether they have found anything.

Soon, he saw the authoritative report on the social news of the "New York Times" online version, good news!

Of course, the museum and the police couldn't find the culprit that caused the shock. It can only be attributed to the natural aging of the cultural relics and improper storage measures, which is why this result is very regrettable!

The news also mentioned serious concerns from the RB government and people, and their dissatisfaction with the conservation efforts of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Yesterday was an unfortunate day for all RB people who lost a national treasure, a work that reflected the RB national spirit and integrity.

Seeing these related reports, Ye Tian suddenly let out a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed.

This matter is basically over. As long as you are a little careful in the next few days and don't reveal anything, no one will find you.

As for the dissatisfaction and pain of the majority of RB people, just let him go, love it!

The Chinese people have been dissatisfied with them for hundreds of years! That's when you get a little interest!

...

Ten o'clock in the morning.

With a bag on his back, Ye Tian arrived at the DUMBO Flea Market on time, just under the Brooklyn Bridge and only a ten-minute walk from where he lived.

The flea market has just opened, and while the stall owners are spreading their stalls, he also starts a treasure hunt.

Today, his purpose is very clear. He does not consider second-hand goods, but only buys valuable antiques with a halo, and he does not buy large ones, but only small ones that are easy to carry.

If you have a car, don't worry about that.

It's a pity that his car has already entered the second-hand market, and then it has entered Susan's wallet and his stomach respectively.

Another point is that he is also very clear that he will never see through the antiques here before he completely controls the eye ability! To avoid the situation of absorbing spiritual energy from happening again, it would be bad luck!

According to his estimation, after upgrading his abilities and improving his physical fitness, the spiritual energy he absorbed yesterday should be almost consumed. If you look at the antiques now, there is a good chance that the scene in the museum yesterday will happen!

The market has just opened, there are not many stalls, not many customers, and not many professional treasure hunters, it is the best time to show off.

Treasure hunt begins!

Ye Tian started sweeping from the first booth he entered.

This stall is full of kitchen supplies. At first glance, there are no luminous items. When looking at the inventory behind the stall owner, it is the same performance.

No antiques!

Ye Tian glanced at it and walked away without even taking five seconds!

The second store has a large row of old clothes and handbags, many of which are famous brands, but they are far from antiques!

Ye Tian didn't stop for a moment, just glanced over and passed.

Although the stall had no value in his eyes, it was very popular in the flea market.

Don't look at old beauties being wasteful and lavish, spending tomorrow's money today, but in some places, they are very economical and rational, typical of pragmatism!

For example, in the attitude towards second-hand goods, as long as they are Americans, whether they are the richest man or beggars, everyone does not reject the use of second-hand goods, and many people still have a soft spot for it!

This has also created their unique used goods culture, spawning many second-hand stores and active treasure hunters.

Second-hand cars, second-hand clothes, etc., as long as they are not second-hand food, they will basically not refuse them, and they will use them with peace of mind.

In the eyes of the Chinese, this is a bit incredible.

In the eyes of Chinese people, who would be willing to use second-hand goods if they were not living in poverty! Not to mention the clothes worn.

There are already several people picking clothes at this second-hand clothing stand, such as students from various universities in New York. Everyone is very enthusiastic and very excited.

The third stall was selling groceries, and also found nothing, Ye Tian stayed for a few seconds and left quickly.

"what!"

As soon as I walked to the fourth booth, a surprise fell from the sky!

A piece of white light suddenly appeared in his eyes, making Ye Tian very excited, and he couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

This is a small round table in baroque cherry wood with a gorgeous shape, soft lines and good workmanship.

The appearance that can be seen in the eyes, no damage is found, it is a well-preserved old furniture.

But this is all secondary. The most important thing in Ye Tian's eyes is the white light it emits, and the two layers of halo outside the light.

The age can be basically judged from the brightness of the white light. This small round table is about 70 years old, from the 1930s and 1940s.

The halo that radiates out shows that this small table has certain artistic value and is not a common commodity that can be seen everywhere.

Although I didn't plan to buy a big one today, this was the first antique I saw today, so Ye Tian couldn't help but want to ask.

"Hello, can I take a look at this round table?"

Ye Tian smiled and asked the stall owner.

"Yes, easy!"

The white stall owner nodded in agreement, a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

"OK!"

Ye Tian responded and immediately stepped forward and squatted down to start the inspection.

There is no need to identify the age and artistic value, just check the back and bottom for damage, and the speed is very fast.

A minute later, Ye Tian stood up satisfied and asked with a smile:

"Hello sir, I like this table very much, can I ask the price? How much are you going to sell it for? If possible, I would like to buy it"

Ye Tian was moved!

This was the first antique he encountered when he officially started the treasure hunt, and it was very memorable, so he planned to buy this small table as a souvenir and keep it for himself.

And it's very close to the residence, you can take it home if you find a taxi, without delaying other things.

Hearing Ye Tian's inquiry, the stall owner immediately replied:

"Thank you for your appreciation, this is a small baroque cherry wood table, very beautiful and in good condition, I want to sell it for fifty dollars, if you can accept it, you can pay and take it away"

This point is to say that Americans are sincere, and the prices of second-hand goods are more realistic or even low.

If this is Panjiayuan in the capital, it will definitely be a process of asking prices and paying back the money.

In the mouth of the stall owner of Panjiayuan, his own chamber pots were used by Master Qianlong!

Not only will they offer a sky-high price that will make you jaw-dropping, but they can also tell a touching story that makes you urinate, making you feel sorry for him if you don't buy it, as if you missed a rare treasure!

Hearing the price offered by the stall owner, Ye Tian almost agreed, but he held back and began to bargain.

"Fifty dollars! Too expensive! I think twenty dollars is reasonable, do you think?"

The stall owner was a little disappointed, shook his head and replied:

"No, twenty dollars is too low for me"

"Thirty dollars, it's a fair price, and it's just the price to go to IKEA to buy a brand new one."

Ye Tian didn't give up, and then set a new price.

The stall owner pondered for a while, then shook his head and refused.

"Yeah, thirty bucks does get you a new one, but it won't be as gorgeous, and it can't have a cherry wood finish, so I still can't take it for that price!"

"What about thirty-five dollars? That's the limit I can offer. If you accept it, I'll pay, if not, I can only express regret."

Ye Tian pretended to be in pain and made a final offer.

The stall owner fell into silence again, thinking about whether the price was acceptable.

After ten seconds, he took out the answer and extended his hand to Ye Tian with a smile.

"Ok, deal! You are the first customer today, let's just open the business, I'll accept the price!"

"Deal, I really like this small table, thank you for making it happen!"

Ye Tian shook hands with each other excitedly and reached a deal.

Then he said:

"I have to go shopping again to see if there is anything else I want, so the table can only be placed with you first, and then I will take it away after I have finished shopping. Do you think it is ok?"

"Yes, but you have to pay part of the payment in advance, just ten dollars!"

The stall owner nodded in agreement.

"ok, this is for you"

After speaking, Ye Tian took out ten dollars and handed it to the stall owner.

Then, he took a picture of the table with his mobile phone, and left contact information for each other, then left here and walked to the next stall.

After receiving the advance payment, the stall owner immediately took out a piece of cloth and covered the table, indicating that it had been sold.

Ye Tian continued to sweep the stalls and visited more than a dozen in a row, but he didn't get anything.

When he walked through these stalls, he would glance at them and find antiques that did not glow, and immediately walked away and walked to the next house.

This made him completely an alternative in the market, and he walked fast!

It was not until the twentieth stall that Ye Tian stopped and looked down at something on the stall.

A red light flashed in his eyes, very attractive!

Nineteenth Century Antiques!

A burst of ecstasy surged in Ye Tian's heart!
