I practice the Tao by blind practice

Chapter 187 Selling Talismans
In the eyes of ordinary people, a Dao talisman is just a piece of yellow paper with some messy ghostly talismans drawn on it.

There were only two exhibition cabinets of Dao Fu, which were deserted, and no one cared about them for a whole morning.

Occasionally, some people passed by here and saw the things in the exhibition cabinet in front of Chen Hai. Some people looked astonished, some laughed strangely, and more people had strange faces and pointed at Chen Hai.

Of course, it is not surprising that this happens.

After all, those who are qualified to enter this exhibition hall should at least be considered to be wealthy.

If you just come here to see if there is anyone who can buy something suitable, then relatively speaking, it's not bad.

Like the kind of people who take advantage of the opportunity and want to set up a stall to sell something, no one will panic and come up with some boring things for fun.

It is no exaggeration to say that the private booths in the entire exhibition hall, just like Chen Hai, took two pieces of yellow paper and put them in the showcase, that was definitely the first one.

Compared with other stalls around, his here, at a glance, feels a bit out of place.

Near Chen Hai, those stall owners who also set up stalls selling various items, although they didn't say it clearly, they looked at Chen Hai with a hint of contempt obviously.

Chen Hai turned a blind eye to these things.

Immersed in cultivation, he could only pay a little attention to the glass display case in front of him.

"Mr. Chen, how's the harvest?"

"The Dao talisman in your hand is still unrecognizable, so it hasn't been sold?" At noon, Dong Dahai walked over with a lunch box.

Seeing Chen Hai who closed his eyes slightly, as if he was meditating, he smiled and asked softly.

"It's okay, Brother Dong, I'm just playing around."

"The two Taoist talismans displayed in my showcase, if someone is interested, and the price is right, I will naturally sell them."

"If you really can't sell it, it doesn't matter. The most I can do is to gain some experience in setting up a stall."

Opening his eyes, Chen Hai smiled and responded.

Although he had already prepared himself to set up a stall to sell talismans, he would encounter a cold scene, but when the thing happened, he didn't seem to care much, but in his heart, he still felt a little bit uncomfortable.

"In our antique industry, there has always been a saying that we will not open for three years, and we will wait for three years after opening."

"The Dao talisman you want to sell, most people don't understand at all, and they don't understand the use of this thing. It's only a morning, and it hasn't been sold. It's normal, and you don't have to worry."

"The exchange meeting will last for three days. There will always be people who know the goods, pass by here, and see these two Dao talismans in your exhibition cabinet."

"It's already noon, you must be hungry too, I specially brought you a lunch box, you can eat whatever you want!"

……

Putting the lunch box in his hand on the showcase in front of Chen Hai, Dong Dahai said with a smile.

To be honest, he didn't have much hope for Chen Hai's ability to sell the Dao Talisman. What he just said was just some words of comfort.

After all, as an ordinary person, he couldn't see the miraculousness of Chen Hai's two Taoist talismans at all!

In his eyes, the so-called Dao talisman is just a few strokes of cinnabar on a piece of yellow paper.

Such items, ten yuan a piece is too expensive.

At the exchange meeting, set up a stall to sell this kind of thing?What price can you sell it for?Is there really someone who believes in this and will spend a lot of money to buy it?

In Dong Dahai's heart, he might not have such an idea.

Of course, he just thought about it in his heart, and it was impossible to say these things in front of Chen Haizhi.

"I'd like to trouble you to bring me a box of lunch, Brother Dong, you have a heart."

"By the way, how about yourself? Have you eaten yet?"

After taking the lunch box that Dong Dahai put on the showcase, Chen Hai said with a smile.

"I ate outside just now, and thought that you probably haven't eaten yet, so I specially packed a lunch box and brought it here for you!" Dong Dahai responded with a smile and nodded.

"Brother Dong, thank you very much. How was your harvest this morning?"

"It's okay, I made two deals, which is a small profit."

"That's not bad, you're the best brother Dong!"

……

Picking up the lunch box, Chen Hai chatted with Dong Dahai while eating.

"Old Dong, is this little brother your junior?"

"That's right! Old Zhang, your booth is also here?"

"Well! I have something to do in the morning. I was delayed. I came late. There are more showcases in this area that are not occupied."

"Old Dong, your junior is also a talent. Others are selling antiques and toys here, but he is selling them here with two pieces of yellow paper!"

"The old fellows around are very dissatisfied with your junior."

"In their opinion, it was the young man who set up a stall to sell yellow paper, ruined the atmosphere here, and made this place deserted..."

Dong Dahai was already quite well connected in their circle.

He had just stopped in front of Chen Hai's booth for a while, when several people greeted him, pulled him aside, and started chattering.

In the morning, when Chen Hai just occupied the showcase in front of him, there were only three or five people in this area.

But now, almost all of the display cabinets near him have been occupied, and they have begun to set up stalls to sell various items.

It is said to be antiques, but in fact, the items sold on those private booths are basically imitated modern handicrafts.

These private stall owners offer an item with a price of [-], and you counter the price with [-]. If he can't make it right, he doesn't say anything, just nods immediately, and sells the item to you.

Ordinary people, if they don't have any eyesight, if they want to buy good things at this exchange meeting, they will definitely be cheated.

As one of them, Dong Dahai is naturally clear about the various routines of those private stall owners.

It was also for this reason that when he was driving Chen Hai here, he warned Chen Hai again and again, telling him to be careful and not to act rashly when he was not sure what he saw.

After seeing Dong Dahai being dragged by nearby stall owners to gossip, Chen Haian felt relieved and started eating his boxed lunch.

Not far away, an old man wearing cloth shoes and wearing a Tang suit, who looked kindly and kindly, seemed to have a bit of immortality, wandered around here for a while.

He took his time and walked to the showcase in front of Chen Hai.

Seeing that the huge display cabinet was empty, and after placing two talismans, the old man was obviously taken aback.

"Little brother, did you sell the things in the showcase?"

"I don't know, can you take out the things and let me pass them by?"

Looking at Chen Hai who had just finished his boxed lunch and was wiping his mouth with a tissue, the old man smiled and asked.

"Of course!" Finally, when a guest came to the door, Chen Hai naturally would not neglect it.

He opened the door of the display cabinet, took out two Taoist talismans, put them on the display cabinet, and made a gesture of please go to the old man.

The old man hesitated for a moment for the two Taoist talismans in front of him. He first picked up the corpse-transforming talisman and examined them carefully.

As for Chen Hai, he just quietly watched this scene happen, he didn't say anything, to explain more.

Because in his opinion, those who can recognize the corpse talisman and the filthy talisman will know the true value of these two talismans without any further explanation from him.

Anyway, if someone who still doesn't recognize what these two talismans are after getting their hands on them, no matter how extravagant you tell him, it will be of no use at all!

"The authentic talisman paper produced by Maoshan is paired with the top-quality cinnabar produced by Mount Fanjing. The lines drawn on it seem to be written with profound strength and done in one go..."

Picking up the two talismans one by one, the old man inspected them carefully, and said with emotion: "Among the Taoist talismans I have seen, these two talismans are very well drawn!"

"Such a talisman, in my opinion, already has a certain collection value!"

"Buy it back and put it at home. Even if it can't be a real town house, at least it can make me feel at ease!"

The old man shook his head for a while as if he was familiar with Taoist talismans. He looked at Chen Hai and asked, "Little brother, how did you sell this talisman?"

"Old man, you have already checked the two talismans. How much do you think my two talismans are worth?"

Chen Hai responded casually.

As soon as the old man came over, he directly asked him to take out the talisman and check it out. He originally thought that the old man was a real person who knew the goods.

But later, after hearing the old man's emotion, in Chen Hai's eyes, the old man in front of him was either trying to pick up the loopholes, or he was just a layman.

After having such an idea in mind, the old man asked him the price, but he lost interest and was no longer interested.

"Taoist talismans are worthless in the eyes of those who are not interested!"

Tilting his head and thinking for a while, the old man said again: "I have always studied Taoist metaphysics, and I have always been interested in Taoist talismans!"

"At this exchange meeting, it's rare to meet a stall selling talismans."

"How about this, I won't let you come here in vain, you two talismans, five hundred one, two talismans, 1000 yuan, I want them all..."

In his opinion, the price offered by the old man is already extremely kind!
After all, in terms of cost alone, the material cost of the two dao talismans is estimated to be a dozen yuan at most.

He also saw that the patterns on the talismans looked decent, and seemed to be a little tricky, and he just offered such a high price to buy the two talismans in Chen Hai's hands.

"Sorry, old man, I set up a stall to sell talismans, just for fun!"

"An elder asked me to sell the talisman. Two talismans cost 1000 yuan? I definitely can't sell them."

"If that elder knows that his talisman is sold for a cabbage price, he will definitely scold me bloody when I go back..."

Shaking his head like a rattle, Chen Hai responded directly.

The value of the Dao Talisman cannot be judged by the material.

If one piece of corpse talisman, one filthy talisman, and the two talismans together cost 1000 yuan, Chen Hai felt that this was basically a violation of his own craftsmanship.
