In fact, Li Yu is not unable to get money quickly. The disciples under Guihong Sect have to learn all kinds of skills, which naturally include the so-called "wisdom skills". However, in such a strange environment, Li Yu does not intend to easily display his skills. Carefulness is the most important quality of a killer.

Walking slowly in the market in Mingxikou Town, Li Yu paid attention to everything around him and looked for opportunities. When he walked to a street stall filled with various antique objects, his eyes lit up, and he thought of ways to make money.

"Laojia, this big brother, are the items on your stall sold?" Li Yu bowed to the stall owner who was sitting lazily and asked.

The stall owner Sun Shan is a local, and was originally a farmer. In recent years, as the popularity of folk collections has become increasingly popular, more and more people come to Cangmu Mountain to buy various antique treasures. Sun Shan simply handed over his own fields to his neighbors to farm, and started a business of reselling antiques in villages and towns. After working for two years, he found some tricks and made some small money. There are only two ways to make money. One is to receive some good antiques from villagers who are not aware of their knowledge at a lower price and vacate them to sell them at a high price; the other is to wholesale some fake antiques from other cultural relics dealers and sell them to foreign tourists at the price of genuine products.

Cangmu Mountain was a place where people hide from war in ancient times. There were many descendants of wealthy families in ancient times. In some inconspicuous small villages, some valuable ancestral calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, furniture, etc. can occasionally be found. They have always been favored by the cultural and entertainment industry. Because of their reputation, many tourists who had no ability to identify cultural and entertainment were happy to rush on the street stalls here, hoping to find some rare treasures and get rich overnight.

Sun Shan and some other stall owners took advantage of people's psychology to mix the real and fake goods together, and waited for the prey to take the bait in Mingxikou Town. A Lantian jade ring produced by a craft factory in the neighboring county was only more than 20 yuan, but Sun Shan and others were able to fool it into Hetian jade from the Southern Song Dynasty and sell it for a few hundred yuan, which made the buyer secretly happy, feeling that he had picked up a huge bargain.

The business of Mingxikou antique market is usually better during holidays. At that time, there were many tourists, and Taobao customers who were truly knowledgeable did not visit them. This was a good time to cheat money. Today is an ordinary working day, and there were no tourists, so Sun Shan didn't pay much attention to his stall. He just sat aside and swiped WeChat with his mobile phone, flirting with a few fans.

Hearing Li Yu's greeting, Sun Shan put down his cell phone, raised his eyelids and looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes, it's sold, why, what are you interested in?"

Li Yu's strange outfit did not make Sun Shan feel anything strange. He also imagined Li Yu in his heart as a Taoist priest from the Taoist temple in the mountains. He saw that Li Yu looked extremely young and the texture of his clothes was obviously from the countryside, and knew that this was not a rich man. He had never been interested in such customers.

"How much does this bracelet cost?"

Li Yu seemed to accidentally pick up a silver bracelet from the stall and asked Sun Shan.

"Do you want this bracelet?" Sun Shan then looked at Li Yu seriously, and then asked tentatively: "Why, you just like this bracelet?"

Of course, these antique stalls in Mingxikou will not all have fakes. If this is the case, it will be difficult to attract real ancient players, so that ordinary tourists will not be fooled. The way Sun Shan and others are to mix some real antiques with a large number of fakes, so that those who know the knowledgeable people will select real products from them and create an illusion that they can pick up bargains, so that ordinary tourists can flock to them.

The bracelet picked out by Li Yu happened to be one of the authentic products that Sun Shan had mixed in. Of course, even if it was an authentic product, Sun Shan was not expensive and only spent 200 yuan. Based on his experience, this silver bracelet from the late Ming Dynasty could be sold for at least 2,000 yuan, which would be at least 10 times the profit.

What surprised Sun Shan was that Li Yu didn't stay in front of his stall for too long. He almost glanced at it and picked out the bracelet from the middle of a bunch of goods. If it weren't for a mistake, it would mean that Li Yu was a veteran antique connoisseur and had great eyesight.

He didn't know that as a professional killer, Li Yu also received professional training in cultural and entertainment appreciation. When he was 13 years old, he worked as an undercover agent in a cultural and entertainment store for half a year as a young man, and found out the action rules of a target, providing information for his senior brothers to assassinate the target. While working in that cultural and entertainment store, he could see clearly the tricks in the cultural and entertainment industry. It can be said without hesitation that the tricks Sun Shan played now were just the residue left over from the people who played back then.

"What, aren't this bracelet sold?" Li Yu asked lightly.

"Sell, why don't you sell it?" Sun Shan replied readily, and then he said in a tone of emotion: "Little brother, I can't tell you. I have such good eyesight. This bracelet is my store treasure, which was passed down from the Kaiyuan period, and may have been worn by Yang Guifei. You can figure it out. It's almost 1,300 years since Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, right? If you meet someone who knows how to collect it, it's worth a lot of money."

"You mean, there are...1300 years since the Kaiyuan period?" Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and he confirmed without saying a word.

"Isn't that?" Sun Shan said, "The Kaiyuan period was from 713 to 741, and now it is 2012. If you reduce it, is it 1,300 years?"

Since he started working in the antique industry, Sun Shan has learned a lot. First, remember the history and the year names, and secondly, he can speak all kinds of historical anecdotes. When he encounters foreign guests, he can even speak a few simple foreign languages. Otherwise, how do people say that interest is the best teacher?

713 years...

2012...

Li Yu didn't know what era Sun Shan used, but he knew very well how many years Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had left his era. According to the era method used by Sun Shan, if the Kaiyuan period was 713, then Li Yu's era should have been around 1632. Sun Shan said that it was 2012, which means that he had slept for 380 years in the tomb of that bastard pharmacist!

370 years... The adoptive father Han Zhi and his fellow brothers should have turned into dust, right? In this world, he has no relatives and friends.

Although he had guessed this result a long time ago, once it was confirmed, Li Yu couldn't help but feel sad. Thinking of the glorious years and those grievances and grudges that turned into dust in a blink of an eye, Li Yu was a little confused for a moment.

"Little brother, what are you thinking?"

Seeing Li Yu's a little unconfused look, Sun Shan asked in confusion.

"Oh, I thought of something else." Li Yu suddenly came to his senses. This was not an occasion to be touched. He had to hide all his emotions, otherwise he would be caught and watched as a monster. He smiled and asked Sun Shan: "So, how much does this bracelet cost?"

Sun Shan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Oh, this is you asking. When I saw you, I felt that I was in love with me. I would like to quote too high prices. Is it a bit sorry for people? Isn't this? I collected this bracelet from 15,000 yuan. You can add 20% to 18,000 yuan, and I will make a friend. How about it?"

“18,000?”

Li Yu smiled slightly. Just now, he had observed the prices in the town. The price of a meat bun was 1 yuan, while the price was 2 yuan. According to this, the 1 tael of silver from that year was equivalent to 500 yuan today. 18,000 yuan is equivalent to 36 taels of silver. What is the difference between buying such a simple late Ming bracelet and grabbing money?

"Brother, what you just reported was the price in the Kaiyuan period, right? If this bracelet was from the Wanli period, how much would it be worth?" Li Yu asked.

"Wanli..." Sun Shan was a little embarrassed. Of course he knew that the bracelet was from the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Although he couldn't say it was from the Wanli or the Tianqi period, it was 900 years away from the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty he claimed. The age when the boy in front of him was not anxious or impatient, he could break the bracelet with just one mouth, which really made him unable to start even if he wanted to cheat.

"Even if it was from the Wanli period, it was something that had been around for more than 400 years, right?" Sun Shan said shamelessly, "If you sincerely want it, you can take it away for 5,000 yuan."

"5,000 yuan?" Li Yu repeated Sun Shan's quotation and said, "If a silver bracelet in the Wanli period could be worth 5,000 yuan, then I have a gold bracelet from the Wanli period, which is better than this and has heavier portions. Would you like to collect it?"

Antique stalls usually sell both at and at the same time. The things they collect can be sold at a higher price, and the stall owner makes money by making money by this kind of price difference. Li Yu had known this for a long time. He asked Sun Shan for the price, but in fact he wanted to estimate how much the jewelry he had on hand could be in today's era. If he could sell these jewelry, his livelihood would be no problem in the short term.

After hearing Li Yu say this, Sun Shan also understood that this young man was not here to buy things, but to sell things. Judging from his poor look and his outfit as a Taoist priest, maybe a little Taoist priest in a Taoist temple stole the master's things and went down the mountain to sell things. Sun Shan has encountered such things more than once.

"Do you have a gold bracelet? Take it to me and see. If the quality is good, I can give you a high price." Sun Shan stretched out his hand to Li Yu and said.
