Li Mo took May, Shitou and Xingkong out, and five secret guards followed behind. Sima Haotian was still bargaining with the stall, holding a Qing Guangxu blue and white water bottle in his hand.

A group of people left this street and turned into another avenue. The dense crowds of people made the motor vehicle lane look much empty.

"The things on the street stalls are all kinds of, and many of them don't know which country they are from? Mr. Qin, you are an expert in this area and have a lot of knowledge. I wonder if you also know some antiques from abroad?"

Thorn asked while walking.

"I am not omnipotent. I don't even understand many things left by our ancestors. How can I still have time to think about foreign antiques? Besides, antiques are actually the carrier of cultural heritage. I don't even know foreign languages, so how can I understand their culture?"

Thorn Head was a little puzzled: "Didn't you also found a lot of foreign antiques before? The ancient Yunxuan Summer Palace was exchanged for those works of art. You said you don't understand, so you are too modest."

"To give an inappropriate example, if you pick up a gold bracelet, you will figure out whether the pattern on the surface of the bracelet is withered by machines or hand-made? Will you look into whether the bracelet is lost by Chinese or foreigners? But no matter what, you must be very clear that this gold bracelet is valuable. I will also feel this way when I see those works of art. I don't know who created it, but I just need to know that those are valuable."

The thorn nodded slightly, feeling something was right.

"Do you really understand?"

May slapped his shoulder and was speechless, just listen to him fooling him alone.

"I don't understand, but I think it's reasonable. Forget it, Mr. Qin is mainly talented."

The avenue is not a simple street stall, but a row of custom-made tables. Li Mo walked to a stall and stopped. There were three jewelry boxes on the table, and various rings were placed inside.

The rings have various styles, including Xiang gem rings, gold, silver and wood rings, jade rings, various rings, etc. Although there are many tourists, they all glanced at them with their eyes and stopped to look carefully.

So when the stall owner saw Li Mo stop and look carefully, he couldn't help but smile and say hello.

Li Mo pointed to one of the rings and asked, "Can I try wearing them?"

May Translator, the American woman in her fifties nodded in agreement, and pinched out the Xiangjin-inlaid wooden ring from the box. Li Mo took it and put it on his left thumb and asked directly: "How much does this cost?"

"Eight thousand US dollars."

Li Mo looked up at him and said, "Since this ring is so expensive, can you tell me the origin?"

"It is said that it was passed down from our ancestors, and it should be an antique from China. She once asked an expert to identify it."

"Is it certainly true that the expert said it was? The price of eight thousand US dollars is too high. If it is about one thousand US dollars, I can still consider it." Li Mo took off the finger and handed it to the stall owner, "I don't think anyone would spend eight thousand US dollars to buy antiques on mobile stalls."

"Mr. Qin, she said that if you choose more, the price can be negotiated."

Li Mo thought for a while and looked at the rings and rings in the jewelry box, then picked out four of them from it, and after a while he picked another ring.

"A total of six, how much does it cost?"

The American woman looked at the things Li Mo selected, thought for a while and said, "The minimum price is 20,000 US dollars."

Li Mo shook his head: "Six thousand US dollars."

"Ten eight thousand dollars." The stall owner gave in.

"Just six thousand US dollars."

Li Mo is very determined.

The stall owner also shook his head: "The price is too low, it's a pity."

Li Mo had no choice but to sigh, a pity.

"If you can bid $10,000, I can transfer it to you."

The stall owner suddenly let go before he could leave.

Li Mo frowned, as if considering gains and losses.

"I bought it for eight thousand US dollars, and I will give it to my friend as a gift."

“Ok, ok.”

The stall owner was afraid that Li Mo would change his mind, so he took out six small boxes from under the table and packed them separately. After the transaction was completed, the stall owner put the wooden boxes into the bag on his chest. Li Mo gave the stall owner a bright smile and continued walking forward.

"Mr. Qin, are these six antiques?"

"Well, they were all passed down from the Qing Dynasty. The longest one should be about two hundred years old. But the most expensive one is the ring I selected last, you can take it out and take a look."

Several people walked to the side of the road, looked for the tip and took out the ring.

"Mr. Qin, what material is this? There is a 'three' character on it. I don't recognize the other side, like an ancient font."

He looked at the thorn and then handed it to Li Mo.

"This is an ivory withered gold and silver ring. You said that there is a character in ancient font, which is correct. This is seal script, meaning "long". The combination of the two characters means "Qianlong". This ring was worn by Emperor Qianlong, which is of extraordinary value."

Li Mo then put his finger on his left thumb and raised it to shine in front of the sun. This was so grand.

"The other word is 'three', why did it become Qianlong?"

May still couldn't understand.

Li Mo smiled and said, "This is not the word 'three', but the three horizontal lines. In the Bagua diagram, it represents the 'Qian' position. This technique is also to avoid taboos, but at the same time, it must let everyone know who its owner is."

Only then did the few people realize that they had really gained knowledge after following Li Mo for a while.

"The stall owner didn't know its origin, so he treated it as an ordinary old thing and took it away. The thorn was put away by Emperor Qianlong's ivory withered ring. Let's continue to stroll."

There are many familiar things placed on the stalls outside, but most of them are still small. For example, porcelain, withering and shaping are rare.

"Let's go to the shop to stroll."

Li Mo saw countless porcelains placed in an antique shop along the street, and there were many people watching it. After he walked in, no one came to receive it. Most of the people here were Americans in suits. Several of them were holding spotlight flashlights or magnifying glasses in their hands, which looked quite professional.

"Let's squeeze in and take a look."

Li Mo wanted to squeeze in, but a large American old man looked back and stared at him with a warning.

Damn, why are you glaring at me? Don’t look at you, even if you are big, you can’t stand the whip of your legs with such a slap. Li Mo’s face suddenly became cold, and his eyes were also unkind. The man was stunned, and then turned slightly to his body.

Damn, you are not qualified for your security.

Li Mo didn't have the same knowledge as him. When he walked to the counter, he saw that there were still many jade artifacts placed on the counter. He didn't look at it much, but he was still more interested in porcelain.

There were a lot of porcelain placed on the shelf behind the counter, and the sizes were placed separately. Li Mo glanced at him and found that there were five real porcelains on the shelf. He saw that the clerk was busy, and even the boss in his forties and fifties was receiving distinguished guests.

No one paid attention to it, Li Mo had to look over and see the treasures that professionals were identifying. He had only walked two steps before his eyes were blocked by a man.

"Look at it casually."

Li Mo smiled and took two steps back. His eyes swept over the porcelain and was surprised. It was a porcelain stool, also called a pastel embroidery stool. Such porcelain is really rare. The surface depicts a flower-piercing dragon, and this pattern style is very close to that of the late Guangxu period.

When the strange boy looked at it, he found that the embroidered slab emitted a light gray halo, and the time was basically in the late Qing Dynasty.
