In the eyes of ordinary people, a Taoist talisman is just a piece of yellow paper with some messy ghost-drawing talismans drawn on it.
There was just an exhibition cabinet with two Taoist charms in it. It was deserted, and no one paid any attention to it all morning.
Occasionally, people passed by here and saw the items placed in the exhibition cabinet in front of Chen Hai. Some looked surprised, some laughed strangely, and even more people had weird looks on their faces, pointing at Chen Hai.
Of course, it’s not surprising that this happens.
After all, those who are qualified to enter this exhibition hall should be at least moderately wealthy.
If you just come here to see if there is anything suitable to buy, then it is relatively good.
Like the kind of person who takes advantage of the opportunity and wants to set up a stall to sell something, no one will panic and do some boring things for fun.
It is no exaggeration to say that the private booth in the entire exhibition hall, just like Chen Hai, took two pieces of yellow paper and placed them in the display cabinet, which was definitely the first of its kind.
Compared with other stalls around it, he feels a little out of place at first glance.
Near Chen Hai, the stall owners who also set up stalls selling various items, although they did not say it clearly, clearly had a deep sense of contempt in their eyes when they looked at Chen Hai.
Chen Hai turned a blind eye to these things.
Immersed in cultivation, he could only pay a little attention to the glass display cabinet in front of him.
"Mr. Chen, how was the harvest?"
"The Taoist talisman in your hand is still unsold because no one knows what it is?" At noon, Dong Dahai came over carrying a lunch box.
Seeing Chen Hai with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was meditating, he smiled and asked softly.
"It's okay, Brother Dong, I'm just playing around."
"If someone is interested in these two Taoist charms placed in my showcase, and the price is right, I will naturally sell them."
"If you really can't sell it, it doesn't matter. The most I can do is give myself some experience in setting up a stall."
Opening his eyes, Chen Hai smiled and responded.
Although he had already prepared himself mentally for the cold reception when he set up a stall to sell talismans, when it actually happened, he didn't seem to care much, but deep down in his heart, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"In our antique industry, there has always been a saying that if you don't open for three years, you will have to wait for three years if you open."
"Most people don't understand the Taoist talisman you want to sell. They don't understand what its use is. It only lasted one morning and it didn't sell. This is normal. You don't have to worry."
"The exchange meeting lasts for three days. There will always be people who know what they are doing. They will pass by and see these two Taoist charms in your exhibition cabinet."
"It's already noon. You must be hungry too. I brought you a lunch box. You can eat whatever you want first!"
…
Dong Dahai put the lunch box in his hand on the display cabinet in front of Chen Hai and said with a smile.
To be honest, he didn't have much hope that Chen Hai could sell the Tao Talisman. What he just said was just some words of comfort.
After all, as an ordinary person, he couldn't see the magic of Chen Hai's two Taoist talismans!
In his eyes, the so-called Taoist talisman is just a few scribbles with cinnabar on a piece of yellow paper.
Ten yuan a piece for such an item is too expensive.
At an exchange meeting, set up a stall to sell this kind of thing? What price can it be sold for? Is there anyone who really believes this and will spend a lot of money to buy it?
Dong Dahai never had such an idea in his mind.
Of course, he was just thinking in his heart, and it was impossible to say these things in front of Chen Hai.
"I'd like to trouble you to bring me a lunch box. Brother Dong, you're interested."
"By the way, where are you? Have you eaten?"
Taking the lunch box that Dong Dahai put on the display cabinet, Chen Hai thanked him and said with a smile.
"I just ate outside. I thought you might not have eaten yet, so I packed a lunch box and brought it over to you!" Dong Dahai responded with a smile and nodded.
"Brother Dong, thank you very much. How was your harvest this morning?"
"It's not bad. I made two sales, so I made a small profit."
"That's good. Brother Dong, you are still awesome!"
…
Picking up the lunch box, Chen Hai started eating while chatting with Dong Dahai.
"Old Dong, is this little brother your junior?"
"That's right! Lao Zhang, your stall is also located here?"
"Well! I had something to do in the morning, and I was delayed. I came late, so there are more display cabinets in this area that are not occupied by anyone."
"Old Dong, you, a junior, are also talented. Others are selling antiques here, but what about him? But he sells them here with two pieces of yellow paper!"
"The old guys around here are very dissatisfied with this junior like you."
"In their view, it was the young man who set up a stall selling yellow paper and ruined the atmosphere here, making this place deserted..."
Dong Dahai was already quite well-connected in their circle.
He had just stayed in front of Chen Hai's stall for a while when several people greeted him and pulled him aside. Then they began to chatter.
In the morning, when Chen Hai just occupied the display cabinet in front of him, there were only three or five people in this area.
Now, almost all of the display cabinets near him have been occupied by people, who have begun to set up stalls to sell various items.
They are said to be antiques, but in fact, the items sold at those private stalls are mostly imitation modern handicrafts.
These private stall owners, if you offer a price of 10,000 yuan for an item, and you counter-offer 100 yuan, they will not say anything, nod immediately, and sell the thing to you.
For ordinary people, if they don't have any discernment and want to buy good things at this exchange meeting, they will definitely be tricked.
As one of them, Dong Dahai is naturally aware of the various tricks of those private stall owners.
It was precisely for this reason that when he was driving Chen Hai over here, he repeatedly warned Chen Hai to be careful and not to take action rashly if he was not sure.
After seeing Dong Dahai being pulled over by nearby stall owners to chat, Chen Hai felt at ease and ate his lunch.
Not far away, an old man wearing cloth shoes and a Tang suit, who looked kind-hearted and seemed to have a bit of fairy spirit, wandered around for a while.
He took his time and walked to the display cabinet in front of Chen Hai.
The old man was obviously stunned when he saw that the huge display cabinet was empty and only placed two talismans.
"Little brother, are you selling the things in the display cabinet?"
"I don't know, could you take the things out and let me pass them on?"
After looking at Chen Hai who had just finished eating his lunch and was wiping his mouth with a tissue, the old man smiled and asked.
"Of course!" Finally, a customer came to the door, so Chen Hai would not neglect it.
He opened the door of the showcase, took out the two Taoist talismans, placed them on the showcase, and made a helpless gesture towards the old man.
The old man hesitated for a moment when seeing the two Taoist talismans in front of him. He first picked up the corpse transformation talisman and examined it carefully.
As for Chen Hai, he just watched this scene quietly and did not say anything to explain.
Because in his opinion, those who can recognize the Corpse Transformation Talisman and the Dirty Talisman will naturally know the true value of these two talismans without any further explanation from him.
Anyway, if someone still doesn’t know what these two talismans are after getting hold of them, no matter how fancy you tell them, it will be of no use at all!
"The authentic talisman paper produced by Maoshan is paired with the best cinnabar produced by Fanjing Mountain. The patterns drawn on it seem to be written with deep power and done in one go..."
Picking up the two talismans one by one, the old man inspected them carefully and said with emotion: "Among the Taoist talismans I have seen, these two talismans are considered to be very well drawn!"
"Such a talisman, in my opinion, already has a certain collection value!"
"If I buy it and put it at home, even if it doesn't really make the house a home, at least it can give me peace of mind!"
As if he was very familiar with the Taoist talisman, the old man shook his head for a while. He looked at Chen Hai and asked, "Little brother, how did you sell this talisman?"
"Old man, you have already checked out these two talismans. How much do you think these two talismans of mine are worth?"
Chen Hai responded casually.
As soon as the old man came over, he directly asked him to take out the talisman and check it. He originally thought that the old man was a truly knowledgeable person.
But later, after hearing the old man's emotion, in Chen Hai's eyes, the old man in front of him either wanted to pick up the pieces, or he was just an outsider.
After having such an idea in his mind, the old man asked him the price, but he was not interested and no longer had much interest.
"Things like Taoist talismans are worthless in the eyes of people who are not interested!"
After tilting his head and thinking for a while, the old man added: "I have always done some research on Taoist metaphysics, and I have always been interested in Taoist talismans!"
"At this exchange meeting, it's rare to meet someone who sells talismans at a stall."
"Let's do this. I won't let you come here in vain. These two talismans of yours cost 500 yuan each. Two talismans cost one thousand yuan. I want them all..."
In his opinion, the price offered by the old man was already extremely kind!
After all, in terms of cost alone, the material cost for two Taoist talismans is estimated to be only a dozen yuan at most.
He also saw that the patterns on the talismans looked decent and seemed to have some skills. He had just offered such a high price to buy the two talismans in Chen Hai's hand.
"Sorry, old man, I set up a stall to sell talismans, just for fun!"
"An elder asked me to sell the talisman. Two talismans cost one thousand? I definitely can't sell them."
"If I let that elder know that his talisman was sold for a mere bargain price, he would definitely scold me like a bastard after I return..."
Shaking his head like a rattle, Chen Hai responded directly.
Naturally, the value of a Taoist talisman cannot be determined based on its materials.
If a zombie talisman, a filthy talisman, and the two talismans combined were sold for a thousand yuan, Chen Hai felt that this was simply a waste of his skills.
