Chapter 66 – One more appeared! (1/2)
Sunday morning.
Shilihe Pet Market.
This place was just a Subway stop away from Panjiayuen. Although there were not many antiques sold here like Panjiayuen, there were lots of stalls selling birds, fishes, and walnuts.
Dong Xuebing strolled along the market and visited almost every stall selling walnuts. Then, he stood beside a makeshift booth and watch people gamble walnut fruits. He had already gotten a 46mm Lion Head and was confident that he would be able to “snatch” another 46 mm Lion Head from someone else with his ability. Now, he only lacks one more 46 mm Lion Head. He wanted to repeat what he did yesterday.
Please appear! Hurry up and appear!
One hour……
Two hours……
It was almost noon, and there was not even a 45mm Lion Head.
After lunch, Dong Xuebing was anxious. He went to another stall and stood there and wait. Why didn’t any 46mm Lion Head appear? Tomorrow will be on Monday. This month’s committee meeting will undoubtedly be held on either Monday or Tuesday. If I can’t find the second 46mm Lion Head, then I will not be able to get a pair. It will not be in time for tomorrow’s meeting!
10 minutes…… 20 minutes…… Soon, half an hour passed.
Just when Dong Xuebing was about to give up, he heard shouting near to him.
“Wow! 46!”
“That’s really a 446 Lion Head!”
“Hehehe. That’s luck!”
Dong Xuebing was excited and turned towards the direction of the shouting. It was also a walnut stall. But it was a small stall. Without hesitation, Dong Xuebing ran over to the booth and pushed the onlookers aside. “Excuse me! Excuse me! There is the 46 Lion Head? How big is it? Is it more than 46.8mm?”
If the walnut seed were not more than 46.8 or 46.9mm, it would not be 46 mm after it was dried.
The stall owner heard someone asking and replied: “It’s 46.6mm.”
Dong Xuebing frowned. Although it was not as big as the one he got yesterday, but it should be able to meet the minimum requirement to form a pair. He turned and look at the person who bought the fruit. It was a high school student. “Hi, can you let me have a look at your walnut seed?”
That boy was very excited and showed it to Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing examined the Lion Head and then compared it to his from a picture he took from his iPhone this morning. He compared the bottom, middle section, the top, etc. Hmmm……. it was not a perfect pair, but it should be enough.
An onlooker also said: “Can I see it too?”
Dong Xuebing passed the Lion Head back to that boy and asked: “Are you willing to selling it? Name me a price.” Dong Xuebing did not see which fruit this boy picked earlier, and it was useless for him to use BACK. If he uses BACK, he could buy out the whole basket of fruits. But when Dong Xuebing looked at the basket, there were at least a few hundred fruits. If one fruit cost 300 RMB, then it will cost more than 100,000 RMB for the whole basket. He only had 50,000 RMB with him!
That high school student wore branded goods from head to toe. He doesn’t seem to lack money. “Sorry, I do not want to sell.”
Other than Dong Xuebing, someone among the crowd was also interested in that Lion Head. “How about 3,000 RMB?
