THE MIGHTIEST LITTLE PEASANT

226-230

Chapter 226

The mood in the hall was tense.

  The people were carefully inspecting each item on display. Offers were rarely made.

  They were waiting for someone else to make a move. There were many items on display there, though they knew that imitation items were a possibility. One would be unlucky if they picked up an imitation item.

  Even if they knew that an item might be genuine, they had to be careful not to overpay for it. An item appraised to be from an ancient era might actually be from a more recent era. That would also be a great loss of money.

  Of course, there was always a chance of picking up a bargain.

  Tang Hao walked around the hall. He carefully inspected and touched each item.

  He could feel the qi on each of the items. They existed in varying intensities.

  The older an antique was, the stronger the qi it contained. The opposite was true: The newer an item was, the weaker the qi.

  With that, Tang Hao could roughly gauge the age of those antiques.

  He stopped walking after making a complete revolution around the hall. His brows were furrowed and he looked disappointed.

  He had expected to find something special, but none of them were.

  On the other hand, Artifacts were incredibly rare items. Finding one was already incredibly good luck. There was no guarantee that an Artifact appeared at every trade meet.

  He pondered for a while and decided that he would check out the other stores later.

  Meanwhile, Qin Gang had his eyes on a jade statue of a cow. The handiwork was delicate and the statue was lifelike.

  The price tag said that it was from the Song dynasty and it cost 120,000 yuan.

  Qin Gang stood in front of it for a very long time and carefully appraised it. Then, he made up his mind to buy that jade statue.

  Just when he was about to make the offer, he heard a piercing voice next to him.

  “Oh, this jade statue looks not bad! It’s genuine Song jade, what a bargain! Come, wrap this up for me. I, Master Diao, want it!”

  That person was none other than Fatty Diao.

  “Oh, Young Master Qin! Are you interested in the jade statue too! The saying is right, great minds think alike! Unfortunately, I had my eyes on it first. We can bid for it if you want to!

  “I’m afraid that you won’t outbid me though!”

  Fatty Diao walked in front of Qin Gang. His face was brimming with glee.

  Qin Gang was immediately red with anger. He glared at the fat man and said, “I saw this first, you fat bastard! You’re vying for my items again!”

  “Eh! Your items? The antiques are placed on the table, and everyone has a chance to make an offer. If you’re not happy, we can bid for it! I don’t mind it at all, I have the money anyway.”

  Fatty Diao grinned and became more arrogant than ever.

  “You…” Qin Gang was burning with anger.

  He was not as loaded as that fat bastard. Qin Gang owned a toy factory, while Fatty Diao was in the property business. He certainly could not outbid him!

  The people who crowded around them looked indignant.

  Fatty Diao had snatched items from some of them that way before.
