Super Son-In-Law

Chapter 18 Encounter

After sending Thea off, Eric rode to the Bowen street.

Bowen street was very famous in the eastern District. It was the largest antique market in the city.

Nowadays, many rich people played with antiques, and fake goods were everywhere. Most of the antiques in Bowen Street were fake.

But there was some real products. Even some stalls outside could sell priceless real products.

To put it bluntly, it's like gambling on jade. It depends on eyesight. Getting rich overnight happens from time to time, which causes many treasure hunters to come here, commonly known as gold diggers.

Of course, there are people who get rich overnight, but there are also more people spend a lot of money on fake goods and lose their money.

Even though, it was in the evening, there were still a lot of people on Bowen Street.

"Wow… mummy… I dare not..." Eric just stopped the car and heard a child crying in the street.

"Pay me! Do you know what this is? It's court porcelain of the Tang Dynasty. It's 300000. Give me the money!" a man shouted.

"Sir, please… he’s just a kid, he broke your antique by accident, please forgive us. We really don't have so much money." a woman cried and begged.

Eric walked over and saw a small stall surrounded by people.

Eric approached curiously. Because of his height advantage, he soon squeezed into the front.

At this time, a middle-aged woman about 40 years old was holding a crying little boy in her arms.

The owner was a thin man in his thirties. He had goat beard. He was not a good man at first sight.

Eric glanced at several objects in front of him. One was an ancient book, but it was written in ancient Tibetan. Modern people couldn't understand it at all. The other was a rusty machete.

Eric's eyes brightened. Although the vendors didn't sell much, they looked like genuine antiques!

Eric's attainments in antiques were quite deep. In the past, Grandpa Henry liked to play with these things when he was a child. His family also invited a master in the antique industry, named Terrence Chou, who was also a friend of Grandpa.

When he was a child, many people praised Eric's good eyesight. He not only had a good eye for people, but also had a good eye for antiques. Even at that time, Terrance wanted to take Eric as his student.

Just it was rejected by grandpa.

After all, the Smiths waa business family. Playing antiques could only be regarded as a hobby. Eric's ambition must be cultivated in business!

However, Terrance really liked Eric, he also taught him a lot of antique reading skills.

The stall owner didn't sell many things, only three. In addition to these two, there was a porcelain vase broken by a child. At this time, it was in the hands of a woman.

Eric couldn't help looking at the woman, because she was so beautiful.

The woman was wearing a white shirt, and black pants. Her skin was better than snow, elegant and beautiful, and there was a light smell of scholarly fragrance between her eyebrows.

At this time, she was carefully holding a colorful porcelain vase in her arms, and a pair of beautiful eyes were looking at it carefully. Just a piece was missing at the porcelain flower bottle.

It must have been accidentally broken by the crying child.

There were many onlookers, many of whom were commenting on the authenticity of the vase.

"Miss , is this porcelain vase true?" a middle-aged man with glasses asked.

The beautiful woman's name is Gabrielle Stone. She is the daughter of James Stone, the most famous antique dealer. She is knowledgeable and has excellent eyesight. She is very famous in Bowen Street.

Many of the people around were antique shop owners.

"The porcelain looks exquisite and the texture is also very good. It doesn't look like a fake, but its appearance is inconsistent with the style of the Tang Dynasty. I can't see what era it is." Gabrielle whispered in a pleasant voice.

The owner glanced at Gabrielle's chest and smiled: "you the Stones is so famous in the antique industry. Such a porcelain vase. Miss Stone, could you tell whether it's true or false?"

"Can't you hear her meaning? It's obviously fake. The porcelain of the Tang Dynasty is ancient and elegant. Yours is colorful and looks exquisite and gorgeous, but there is no such product in the Tang Dynasty, let alone from the court." A shopkeeper said.

Gabrielle didn't speak. In fact, she acquiesced to the shopkeeper's words. This porcelain vase was too like a modern product.

"Miss, can I have a look?" Eric said.

Gabrielle looked at Eric, nodded slightly, and handed the porcelain vase to Eric.

Eric carefully took it and looked at it for a few seconds, then carefully observed the broken fracture, turned his head and looked at the magnifying glass on Gabrielle's legs: "may I use it?"

Gabrielle nodded and handed it to him.

"Thanks."

"Where did this guy come from? Miss Stone has already decided. Are you questioning Miss Stone's vision?"

"Cut, flatter the public and do it like a lot of research." At this time, people around suddenly whispered.

The goatee man stared at Eric, looking obviously nervous.

The owner was nervous. The middle-aged woman holding the child was even more nervous. She was afraid that the young man said that the porcelain vase was real. It was 300000. How could she afford to pay for it?

Eric looked at the fracture carefully with a magnifying glass. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and scratched on the porcelain vase a few times. He scratched and knocked and put the bottle near his ear to listen.

"Hey, what are you doing? Can you afford to pay for the damage?" goatee's face changed and stopped him quickly.

The onlookers around shook their heads.

This boy, obviously, was pretending to understand.

Although there was a saying of "seeing, listening, comparing and testing" in identifying porcelain, Eric used his hand to scratch and knock. It's just fooling!

However, Gabrielle on one side narrowed her eyes slightly.

Eric's movements seemed casual and even childish, but Gabrielle could see his movements clearly and it seemed to be very particular.

Moreover, she seemed to have seen this unique way of identification in ancient books.

Finally, Eric blew another breath at the porcelain bottle and immediately put it in his ear.

Then he carefully put the porcelain vase on the stall, looked up at the goatee man and said with a smile, "this is real."

The middle-aged woman's face changed and sat down on the ground with her child in her arms.

The goatee man's beard shook, his eyes lit up and gave Eric a thumbs up: "this gentleman still has got good eyes. I said it's true, worth 300000. How can I lie to you!"

Then he suddenly turned his head and looked at the crying woman: "give me the money, 300000."

"Bullshit, how do you judge that this is real? You tell me." a shopkeeper around said.

"I think this guy is paid to say that, don't you?" Someone guessed.

When the voice fell, many people nodded and looked at Eric's eyes. They were all deciding that Eric was the entrustment invited by goatee, who specially deceived people!

"Bullshit, I don't even know this man. What I sell are just authentic products!" the goatee man retorted angrily.

Eric smiled, ignored the surrounding voices, looked at the goatee and said, "300000, right? I'll buy it."

"Ah?"

The spectators and shopkeepers around were shocked!

Goatee man was also shocked!

Because even if this thing was real, it was broken. Even if it was worth one million, it was not worth one. It would be good to sell for 100000.

The woman next to him also screamed and looked at Eric foolishly. Originally, she had just heard the words of the people around. She also thought Eric was the entrustment invited by goatee, who was blackmailing her.

"Don't embarrass the mother and son. Let them leave. I'll buy this porcelain vase," Eric said with a smile.

"Seriously? OK, three hundred thousand. You pay first and I'll let them go." the goatee said.

He was not stupid. Others said he and Eric were collusive, but he was also worried that the guy was coming to rescue the mother and son!

What if the mother and son left and the guy ran away without giving money?

"OK."

Eric soon paid 300000. The goatee man couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and the mother and son were also grateful to Eric, and even asked the child to kneel to thank Eric.

For a time, people around him talked more and said that Eric had a good heart, which was helping the mother and son; Some people said that this thing that looked different might be genuine and valuable, but few people could see its value.

After all, there were many good people in the world, but there were too few who could casually take 300000 as kindness, unless they were fools!

Some people said Eric was a fool. He had a lot of money!

"Ha ha, this gentleman has a good vision. Come and have a look at these two things. These are just unearthed antiques. You will not lose money if you buy them." The owner said excitedly and began to sell the other two things.

Eric ignored the whispers of the people next to him. He looked at the machete next to his eyes without trace and reached out to pick it up, but he felt a cold and bone etching feeling coming into his body from the machete.

The palm of his hand was cold, and he didn't hold it.
