This is a photographic work of a hare. It happened to be captured when it stuck out its tongue. It looked very lively and interesting.

Chen Feng immediately asked about the price and actually offered $3,000.

Sure enough, although the decoration and service of this store are professional, the prices of the things they sell here have also increased correspondingly. They are not just a little more expensive than the old white man's store before.

However, considering that this photograph contains almost an hour of life energy, $3,000 is not too expensive.

If compared with Frank's previous painting "Rose", it is much cheaper.

Therefore, Chen Feng did not feel that the other party's price was too high, but continued to check the product catalog calmly.

It took almost an hour to read through the product catalog of this store. It was indeed a big store and sold many types of art works. Even if Chen Feng only chose to look at paintings and photography, it still took him so much time to read through it.

Among them, there are a total of three works that meet Chen Feng's requirements. In addition to the "Hare" work, there is also a Western oil painting and a landscape painting from the Dragon Kingdom.

This landscape painting appeared in this store. It was somewhat special. Chen Feng read the picture and text introduction and found that this painting was from a painter in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. As for whether the painter was famous, Chen Feng even searched it on his mobile phone.

Searched, but didn't receive it.

Therefore, this painting is not a work by a famous artist, and the price offered by the other party is not very high, only US$2,000.

This price is undoubtedly a bargain for Chen Feng, because it contains enough life energy for him to absorb for two hours. It is rare to find works of art with such a high content.

In addition, the oil painting is a little more expensive, costing 5,000 US dollars, but its inherent life energy is only enough for half an hour.

In this way, the total price offered by the other party's shop for the three works was exactly US$10,000.

Even if Chen Feng has money, of course he can't get it as much as the other party says, especially since there is no fixed price for these works of art.

So, Chen Feng started to bargain with the other party, and with Brina's help, the price was reduced to 8,000 US dollars.

Brina felt that the price was still too expensive, but for Chen Feng, it was obviously a profit.

This trip to the flea market was much more rewarding than visiting an art fair. Chen Feng was very satisfied with it and even felt that this trip to America was the right one.

Buying the art works you need here is much more cost-effective than buying them at home.

So, on the way out of the flea market, Chen Feng asked Brina about the art thrift stores in Los Angeles. After learning that there were some related shops, Chen Feng was very interested.

The two went to a restaurant for lunch together, and then Brina took them to Taobao to pick up missing items.

This time, she took Chen Feng to the flea market.

There are flea markets everywhere in the United States, and Los Angeles has the top ten flea markets that are relatively famous. These flea markets are usually held once a month and are very large in scale.

One of the largest flea markets has more than 2,000 stalls, and at least 20,000 enthusiasts participate in each event.

However, this large-scale flea market has already been held this month. This time Brina took him to another flea market. It was not small in scale, with thousands of stalls. There must be tens of thousands of tourists attending each time.

some.

When we arrived at the place, we saw a lot of people outside the market. It was really crowded. There were many stalls selling food, and of course there were stalls selling various products.

This has the same feeling as temple fairs and fairs in rural areas in China.

The two of them strolled around outside. There were many stalls selling various antiques and old items, such as old radios, old TVs, and even old washing machines. There were also some old-looking ornaments, handicrafts, and toys.

Of course, there are also people selling paintings, sketchbooks and old photos, but unfortunately they are not what Chen Feng needs.

After shopping around, the two lost interest in the stalls outside, so they planned to enter the flea market. They needed to buy a ticket, which cost 10 US dollars per person. It couldn't be said to be cheap.

After the two of them bought their tickets and went in, there were quite a few people inside, not to say they were jostling each other, but it was about the same.

After browsing through the stalls, Brina couldn't help but buy a few handicrafts that she liked very much. The prices were not expensive, the most expensive one was only 50 US dollars, and the cheapest one was only 5 US dollars.

The two of them walked around for more than half an hour, but Chen Feng found nothing until they entered a stall selling various antiques and used items.

Chen Feng originally had no interest in these things, but Brina was very interested and followed him in.

He glanced around casually, and it actually gave him a huge surprise. He stared at the item with wide eyes. It was a round brass badge with some age, with a small circle embossed in the middle.

Inside the small circle is a relief of a bald eagle, and outside the small circle are surrounded by reliefs of seven swords from top to bottom, which makes people like it.

Not to mention, Chen Feng sensed strong life energy fluctuations from it, which was not much different from what he sensed from the tortoise shell oracle bone inscriptions.

As for how long the energy contained in it can be absorbed by Chen Feng, he did not sense it this time, and it was undoubtedly beyond his sensing range.

"Chen, what do you think of this?"

While Chen Feng was staring at the brass badge, Brina came over with a wooden deer to show him, seeking his opinion.

Chen Feng came back to his senses, suppressed his inner excitement a little, looked at the withered deer in her hand, nodded and said, "Not bad, how much does it cost?"

This wood carving is about the size of a deer's hand, and the carving work is quite good. Even Chen Feng, who doesn't know how to carve, looks very lifelike and likes it.

"20 dollars, do you think it's expensive?"

"It's not expensive. Just buy it and I'll pay for it."

Chen Feng said as he took out his credit card and swiped it.

Brina immediately stopped and said, "I told you, I don't want to spend your money, especially these gadgets. If you really want to give me something, you'd better wait until I go to Xiuzhou before you can give it to me."

When Chen Feng heard this, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will give you a big gift in the future."

"Then I'll wait." Brina said with a smile, then took the wooden carving to the stall owner to pay the bill.

The owner of this stall is an old black man with gray hair and beard. He looks like a fat man in his fifties or sixties.

After Brina paid the bill, Chen Feng immediately picked up the brass badge, walked over, gestured to the stall owner with a natural look on his face, and asked the price: "How much is this?"

As soon as the old black man saw Chen Feng's face, he immediately gestured with his finger.

Chen Feng said deliberately: "One dollar?"

The old black man couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, then rolled his eyes and said: "I said 100 US dollars."

When Brina heard this, she immediately exclaimed: "God, this is just a brass badge, not a gold badge, and you can tell at a glance that it's not something commemorative. You actually want to ask for $100? I think it's up to $10."

Dollar."

Chen Feng also echoed: "Yes, I bought it for only 10 US dollars."

The old black man said: "This badge is at least a hundred years old. Although I don't know what commemorative and historical significance it has, it is an antique after all. How can it be worth only $10?"

"That's 15 dollars, which is already very high." Brina is now becoming more and more skilled at haggling.

"No, no, no." The black boss shook his head repeatedly.

"Then 20 dollars." Chen Feng continued.

Of course he was not reluctant to pay $100, and he knew very well that this badge was worth buying even if it cost $100,000.

The reason why I still have to bargain is because I don't want to cause unnecessary speculation by others, and I don't want to be slaughtered by this old black man as a fat sheep.

He could feel just now that the other party temporarily increased the price after seeing his Asian face.

"The minimum price is 90 US dollars. Don't forget it." The black boss shook his head and offered a price of 10 US dollars.

"The most I can pay is 30 US dollars. If it's more, I won't buy it."

Of course, Chen Feng couldn't let him feel that he was defeated. He just looked indifferent and said that he was about to put down the badge again.

Seeing this, the old black man immediately lowered the price and said, "That's $50. This is the lowest price."

After Chen Feng pretended to hesitate for a while, he reached out and picked up a rabbit carving from the stall, and then said: "Add this, it's $50."

The old black man also pretended to hesitate for a while, then spread his hands and said, "Okay, you win, $50 for both items."

When Chen Feng heard this, he couldn't help but reveal a bright smile on his face. He bought something similar to the oracle bones for only 50 US dollars. This really made him laugh out of his dreams.

At the beginning, he spent nearly 10 million to buy those pieces of oracle bones, with an average price of 2 to 3 million per piece, but now it costs 50 US dollars, which is a few hundred yuan.

When the old black man saw Chen Feng smiling, a smile appeared on his face.

Several people came to ask about the price of this brass badge before, but he only offered it at $20, but in the end no one bought it because it was too expensive.

As soon as Chen Feng came over with his Asian face and well-dressed person, he directly asked for $100. Although he was eventually offered $50 by the other party and even offered a little wooden rabbit, he still made at least $20 more.

, of course he was also very happy.

Chen Feng quickly paid and took away these two things.

Next, although Chen Feng tried his best to calm down his excitement and continued shopping with Brina, he had no intention of continuing Taobao.

Of course Brina noticed it, and asked doubtfully: "Why do I think you don't want to go shopping anymore?"

"Maybe I'm a little tired, how about we go back and rest first?"

He had gained a lot today, especially the brass badge he got this time, which gave him a strong urge to absorb it.

Of course he was not interested in shopping any more.

"Okay then, let's go back first."

Brina mainly brought Chen Feng here for shopping. Now that he didn't want to go shopping anymore, of course she had to obey his wishes.

The two of them quickly came out of the flea market and took the car back to the hotel.

In the car, Chen Feng used the excuse that he was a little tired, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep in the passenger seat.

In fact, he was holding the brass badge in his hand at this time and began to absorb the energy inside.

The energy contained in it feels somewhat different from the life energy he absorbed from those works of art.
