Chapter 176 Antique Market

At the open-air market, huge white parasols were connected one after another, and tourists were walking around in the space under these umbrellas, including Li Zhenzhen.

She found that the people who came to set up stalls included real antique dealers, ordinary people who took out their idle things to sell, and more were antique individual owners, that is, professional street vendors. All the goods sold here are second-hand goods, and there are good and bad ones. If you want to find the real treasures, you have to rely on your eyesight.

The items displayed outside are mostly household items, such as furniture and tableware, glass ornaments, small household paintings, farm tools, phonographs, radios, etc. Most tourists buy this kind of things. It can be seen that Americans still have a pragmatic attitude towards life. Even if it is something that someone else has used, they don't mind buying it back and continuing to use it. Everyone regards this as a very normal thing.

Li Zhenzhen's purpose is not these. She follows the crowd to walk inside. The fewer tourists there are, the more antique stalls there are. Many stall owners are sitting on small stools, either taking a nap or listening to the radio and reading books. They only answer one or two times when customers ask questions. It's quite leisurely.

Li Zhenzhen soon reaped the rewards of a store that specializes in selling fur products, only selling products made of leopard skin, including various bags such as purses, backpacks, card holders, wallets, and small items such as jackets and scarves. The skins are golden in color, with dark black round spots, and look particularly luxurious and mysterious.

She was a little surprised and lowered her voice and said, "Isn't it said that the United States prohibits the sale of leopard skins? Why are there still some here? And they are so boldly displayed, can they be fake?"

Zhou Ran didn't know much about it. He was about to ask the stall owner, but he saw them parked here and thought they had business. He waved enthusiastically and said, "Come in and take a look. These are all top-quality leopard skins. They are all second-hand goods. Don't worry about the guys from the Animal Association giving you trouble."

When he said this, Li Zhenzhen understood that the ban on buying and selling was only a matter of recent years, and they didn't care about the previous ones, so the things sold by this stall owner were legal.

Li Zhenzhen also became interested. These bags looked very beautiful. Even if they were second-hand, it didn't matter. It was still nice to carry them occasionally. She picked some, a total of twelve large and small bags, and asked the boss to calculate the price.

"745 US dollars." The boss counted on his fingers for a long time before figuring out the number. He seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly reported it to Li Zhenzhen, then looked at her eagerly.

So cheap! Li Zhenzhen thought to herself, she had just checked, these bags were all real jaguar skin, and they were all quite new. I didn't expect them to be sold so cheaply.

Seeing that the boss was having a hard time calculating, she thought he had made a mistake and asked him to calculate again, but the boss shook his head and said, "I swear to God, this is the price. How about I give you 5 dollars less?"

It turned out to be so cheap. Li Zhenzhen was a little happy and took out cash to pay. The boss was also very happy to receive the cash. Li Zhenzhen suspected that this was related to taxes, because the happy boss also gave her a small wallet.

Li Zhenzhen experienced the charm of the flea market and became more interested in those small items. She specifically went to the stalls with a dazzling array of items. Soon, the bodyguards behind them were holding various bags filled with small items bought by Li Zhenzhen.
