The Reincarnation of the Tough Woman

Chapters. 8. Finding the Jade Bracelet

He said behind Sofia in disdain, "I don't care at all about you poor people!"

Then, he focused on the jade again.

However, Sofia's words remained on her mind, and she wanted to identify it herself.

On the other hand, Sandra stood at the entrance of the jewelry store, waiting for Sofia to come out. He had also witnessed everything that had just happened inside.

Seeing Sofia out, Sandra criticized, “Isn't this interesting? You yourself can not afford anything, and you are very envious of the rich.”

"If you can afford it, why don't you buy something?" Sofia arguing.

"You…"

Sandra felt humiliated, because Sofia was right on the matter.

Although Sandra was born into a wealthy family with millions of fortunes, she still could not afford to pay for it herself.

The price of the jewelry was tens of thousands of yuan each, while she only had a monthly stipend that was only a few thousand yuan. In addition, she spent a lot of money every month, and had no more money to buy jewelry.

He was here today just because his birthday was close. She wanted to pick her birthday present, and her mother would buy it for her.

Sofia ignores Sandra, and leaves.

Although Sandra did not like the feeling of defeat, she did not know how to fight anymore.

Fiona, who is Sandra's cousin, holds her breath that Sandra will vent her anger at him over the matter

Fiona does this only because her family needs the resources of the Sandra family.

Sofia goes straight to the antiques market after she leaves the jewelry store.

It took half an hour on the bus to get to the antiques market from downtown. And he finally arrived, around three in the afternoon.

Antique market, also known as “Lama” Market. Only old and ancient things are called antiques.

The antique market has been popular for many years, and there are many people who visit the antique street. Most of them were middle-aged men or elderly people.

Sofia did not see any young people on this street, especially a schoolgirl her age. Although there are teenagers, definitely accompanied by their parents.

So when Sofia walked near the booth, no one noticed her.

On both sides of the street, there were countless booths with many commodities. However, real antiques are definitely rare.

Both antiques and jade were high-risk businesses. The unspoken rule in this industry is "No Anti-counterfeiting". You pay and get the goods on the spot without a return of the goods or money.

If you're lucky enough to get the real one, you'll be rich overnight, otherwise you'll go broke overnight. That was really cruel. But these are the rules.

Sofia walked slowly, as she felt tired after using her Jade Eye. He needs to rest before continuing.

Throughout her journey, Sofia did not find any real objects. He's disappointed.

Antiques market is indeed difficult to find the original item in the present. Sofia feels she is naive to try to earn money with antiques.

There are many options for stone gambling, but most of the stones are from Burma and the Y Province, and there are less quality stones in other cities.

After all, it was not easy to find the perfect stone.

The city of F is far away in Burma, and it costs too much for Sofia to fly there.

Although the actual plane ticket is not too expensive, but for Sofia and her mother it is very expensive.

And the last thing Sofia wants is that her extraordinary abilities are not revealed. He didn't want his mother to know either. So if Sofia wants to go to Burma, she doesn't have a good reason.

Sofia did not have much hope in City F, but she was still trying to find some. As long as it was a real gem, he would accept it.

In the end, when Sofia was ready to leave, an object in a remote place caught her attention.

It was a bracelet consisting of 12 porcelain blocks. Each block is as big as a toe. There were lots of stains and dirt around it. It did not have a good appearance, but Sofia saw a layer of light white mist from it.

If the bracelet had power, it would have been the real one. Sofia was happy, but did not show any happiness on her face.

Sofia walked to the stand. The owner of the stand ignored her because she was a teenage girl in plain clothes, and looked poor.

Sofia doesn't care. He pointed directly at the bracelet, "What price is this?"

The owner of the stand glanced at the bracelet, then frowned in disdain.

Wh why? Because in his eyes, this bracelet is fake. He even intends to throw it away.

But since there was a buyer for it, he opened his mouth, "50 yuan."

Fifty yuan was cheap, but it was still expensive for Sofia. However, Sofia did not want to miss the chance to win money.

He didn't want to show his true intentions from the start, so he bid, “Can you sell it for a cheaper price? I'm just a student with a little money. ”

"Then it's 40 yuan, it can't be less." The owner agreed. He still believed the bracelet was a worthless piece of junk.

Sofia pretended to hesitate for a moment, then said, "Good, I'll take it."

Then he gave the money to the owner of the stand.

The owner of the booth took the money and gave the bracelet to Sofia.

After that Sofia went straight to the assessment center with the bracelet.

He went to the assessment center not to identify the bracelet, but for the money. Only with money can he do something.

When Sofia arrived at the appraisal center, there was already someone there to identify the antiques. Observers are standing around. Someone is here just for fun, while some are here to make money. If there's a real one, they'll bid.

The appraisers were all experienced, and the assessment center had its own rules. If it was fake, they would not charge for it. If it is genuine, then it should pay for this service. If the antiques were sold on the spot, the price of the service would be higher.

That rule is quite acceptable.

Sofia walked to the assessment table. There's an appraiser identifying the item. It was a delicate bottle of tobacco, and looked just like the real one.

Sofia uses her Jade eyes. He did not see the fog around him. It's definitely fake.

"That's fake." It only took about 10 minutes for the appraiser to get the result.

"What's? That's fake?" The voice of the man sounded shocked among the crowd. The man put on an astonished face, “No way! How can it be fake! ”

"Are you asking me now?" The judge is not happy to be questioned.

The man immediately explained, “No, no, but it is an heirloom from my grandfather, passed down to my father, and lastly to me. I can't accept it's fake. ”

The other people in the middle showed their sympathy.

"Bro, even if it's an heirloom, it can be fake."

"REALLY!"

“Maybe your grandfather made a mistake. This is pretty normal.”

The others echoed.

The man put on an unhappy face. He left quickly with his wake. He believed it must be a genuine antique, and wanted to sell it, but to his surprise, it was a fake.

Then, there are many more fake ones, but no one feels disappointed that the owner did not pay much for their "antique.

"Hi, can you identify this bracelet for me?" It was Sofia's turn to ask. He handed her the bracelet he just bought.

Sofia's appearance stirred up discussion among the crowd.

“Wah, where did he get this dirty thing? It's very ugly.”

“This little girl must be crazy about money. It must be fake.”

The others echoed.

Sofia ignored them all. He doesn't care at all.

Although the appraiser also did not believe it was genuine, he did his job professionally.

When he picked up the dusty bracelet, he almost hated it at first glance. However, as he cleaned the stain with the napkin, the original color of the bracelet appeared. It is white and blue, and made of porcelain.

The appraiser frowned slightly. He thought it was just a modern piece of art. In ancient times, no one would use porcelain to make bracelets.

But since he had started, he decided to finish his job.

Then, he continued to clean the bracelet. After a while, he felt that something was unusual.

The others immediately asked.

"What's going on?"

“Is it real?”

The appraiser remained silent, focused on his work. Before long, the bracelet was clean and shiny.

Everyone now discovered that the bracelet was made of porcelain. All were convinced that it must be fake, as no one had ever heard of a porcelain bracelet being made in ancient times. It must be a modern work of art.

While the appraiser thinks otherwise. He was now dumbfounded and very excited.

" It's blue and white porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties." He suddenly said.

"What?"

"Thank you?"

Everyone is surprised.

Blue and white porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Then, it's genuine?

Although blue and white porcelain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was not as expensive as in the Yuan or Tang Dynasties, it was not cheap at all.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Sofia with jealousy. On the contrary, Sofia's love was as calm as ever, which made one wonder that she already knew about it.

Actually, Sofia only knew it was the real thing, but did not know what the item was really.

“This is blue and white porcelain from Ming and Qing Dynasties. I thought the real porcelain was broken, and someone made it into a bracelet. Or there are those who deliberately break precious blue and white porcelain to make bracelets."

"Hey young girl, where did you get this bracelet?" someone asked.

"I just bought it from a stand by accident," Sofia told the truth.

"What's? Did you buy it accidentally? What a lucky girl!”

Everyone agrees.

“Young girl, do you want to sell it? I'll give you 30 thousand yuan. ”

A middle-aged man in a suit made an offer without delay.
