Chapter 13: Chelsea Flea Market

　　 It was one o'clock in the afternoon when Ye Tian arrived at the Chelsea Flea Market.
　　 is the hottest time here, the market is crowded with people inside and outside, it is very lively.
　　Chelsea Flea Market is a street market. It is next to Madison Park and close to the Flatiron Building. It has a relatively large space. It is an old-fashioned flea market. It has a history of 40 years and is very famous throughout New York.
　　 There are about 135 stalls, most of which sell all kinds of used goods, antiques, and handicrafts, and some are food stalls.
　　 is different from other flea markets in that it not only sells antiques, second-hand goods, and gourmet food, but also stray dog ​​adoption agencies come here to set up stalls and find cute scavengers for dogs.
　　 Every weekend, this market attracts many people from all over New York to patronize, and there are even some from other cities admiringly.
　　 Everyone comes here for different purposes, some are to Taobao, some are to taste food, and some are to experience New York culture. This is the outdoor museum in New York.
　　 Paying $1 to walk into the market, Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and started contacting Jason.
　　 It’s lunch time, so I can just ask him to have a hot dog. Let’s also find out about the situation here.
　　 After a period of passionate rock music, the phone connected.
　　 "Hello, this is Jason, may I ask who?"
　　 "This is Steven, I have arrived at Chelsea, where is your booth? I'll find you"
　　 "Stand No. 48, you can see it along the middle aisle, I'm right here"
　　 "OK, this will pass"
　　 After speaking, Ye Tian hung up the phone and walked inside.
　　While following the crowd, Ye Tian kept scanning the stalls on both sides of the aisle, in order to discover the treasure that made his eyes shine.
　　 Chelsea flea market is obviously higher than DUBO Dumbo, with more used goods, more people Taobao, and frequent transactions.
　　Of course, there are more antiques in Ye Tian's eyes.
　　 After walking less than ten meters, Ye Tian has seen white light many times, with different brightness levels. It basically covers antiques from all ages in the past 100 years. Some are valuable, some are of no value.
　　 In addition to these, there are several eye-catching red lights. These are all antiques from the 19th century. Most of them are from the middle and late periods. These antiques have a halo of uneven thickness and have a certain artistic value.
　　 This discovery made him very excited. It seems that he can have a good harvest today!
　　 But before the treasure hunt, it's time to eat!
　　 Since having this power, Ye Tian found that his food intake had increased a lot, his digestion and absorption speed had also increased, and he would easily feel hungry.
　　 Obviously, his own abilities can't help but consume antique aura and also consume calories.
　　 Moving on, Ye Tian saw Jason's booth with a sign in front of it saying Benny's second-hand shop.
　　 There were a few guests in front of the booth. Jason and two colleagues were busy introducing the goods. When they saw Ye Tian coming, they immediately nodded at him with a smile, and signaled him to wait.
　　 Ye Tian nodded in response, then stood aside and waited.
　　 After nothing else, he began to scan the second-hand stall.
　　 You don’t need to think about second-hand goods. The second-hand goods sold in second-hand stores are the last link in the sales chain and are not profitable at all.
　　 Unless there is something that you need or particularly like, there is no need to waste time.
　　 Ye Tian's gaze was quickly attracted by a few items that were shining with white light, and a clock that radiated crimson light.
　　 Through the light emitted by the clock and the appearance characteristics, Ye Tian made a basic judgment in an instant.
　　 This is a classicist style gilt bronze table clock. It is very gorgeous. It comes from the beginning of the 19th century. It works normally and is well protected.
　　 And from the thickness of the halo, it can be confirmed that the artistic value of this table clock is not low, it should be very valuable!
　　 There are a lot of treasures from Benny second-hand stores! When I came to the flea market to set up a stall, I was actually willing to come up with so many antiques. It seems that it is a second-hand store with a solid foundation.
　　 Then, Ye Tian glanced at the location of these antiques again, and he immediately understood that these treasures are definitely not cheap!
　　 As long as all the antiques that emit light, they are in the inner position, and a few shop assistants are within easy reach.
　　 It can be seen that they are very clear about the value of these things.
　　The antique table clock is even more so. Not only is it placed in the center, it is also covered with a transparent glass cover, and there are white gloves next to it. It is obviously for people to appreciate.
　　 Seeing this, Ye Tian immediately lost interest and looked back at the communication between Jason and the customer.
　　……
　　 Two or three minutes later.
　　 Jason completed the transaction with that 50-year-old customer and sold a set of beautiful coffee cups for $40. Both were very satisfied.
　　 After handing the money to the colleague in charge of the account, Jason smiled and walked over immediately.
　　 "Hey, Steven, waited a long time"
　　 "It's okay, it's not a few minutes in total"
　　 With greetings, Jason introduced Ye Tian to his colleagues.
　　 "This is Steven, amazing buddy! He picked up a Ruger P08 in the $1 trash warehouse!"
　　 "Wow! God's darling is here!"
　　 The female clerk who collected the money said enviously, and the other black buddy in his early twenties also looked envious.
　　 Ye Tian smiled and said hello.
　　 "Hello, I am Ye Tian, ​​I am glad to meet you"
　　 "Hey, I’m Miranda, it’s nice to meet you, lucky guy!"
　　 "Hey, this is Parker!"
　　 Both shop assistants shook hands and hugged Ye Tian, ​​and said their names.
　　 Ye Tian then said with a wry smile:
　　 "I am not God's darling! The situation before was terrible! Jason understands that this time it was just luck!"
　　 Jason nodded slightly to the two colleagues, making sure that he was right.
　　 "That's also very good, it shows that your bad luck has passed, the good day has begun! It will definitely be smoother in the future"
　　 Miranda said with a smile, this fat girl is obviously very kind.
　　 After standing and chatting for a few words, Ye Tian couldn’t hold on anymore, his stomach kept protesting, hungry!
　　 And the sound of ‘cooing’ in his stomach was also heard by Jason and the others, and smiles appeared on the faces of several people.
　　 Ye Tian didn't care about any demeanor, and said quickly:
　　 "Jason, did you have lunch? If not, let’s go have something to eat together and eat the hot dog you mentioned. I can’t stand it anymore."
　　 "Man, you don't look like you just made a fortune! On the contrary, you are a bit like a refugee!"
　　 Jason teased him.
　　 "hahaha"
　　 Miranda and Parker both laughed.
　　 "I am afraid that refugees are better than me. I am so hungry that I can eat an elephant! Hurry up! If you don't go, then I will go by myself"
　　 Ye Tian said with a wry smile, and then he was about to leave and went to a hot dog stand not far away.
　　 "Go together! I have nothing to eat either!"
　　 Jason turned around to explain to Miranda and the others, and quickly followed.
　　 "The clock on your stand is very beautiful, how much is it? If the price is right, I intend to buy it"
　　 As he walked towards the hot dog stand, Ye Tian pretended to ask casually.
　　 Maybe there are leaks to pick up!
　　 But Jason's next answer made him understand that he was thinking too much!
　　 "Man, that clock is of course very beautiful! Everyone likes it! It is a classic style clock from the early 19th century, from the royal family of Europe, the price is 200,000 US dollars.
　　 If you offer it at this price, you can own it and make it your treasure. Believe me, this antique can definitely enhance the owner's compelling status! how about it? are you buying? "
　　 Jason said the price of the clock half jokingly, he didn't believe that Ye Tian had this strength!
　　 "Wow! It's too expensive! Buy it? Then I sold both kidneys, I'm afraid this may not be enough!"
　　 Ye Tian pretended to sigh in surprise, the price is similar to his estimate.
The owner of 　　 Barney's second-hand shop obviously knows this clock very well. He wants to take advantage of it, but there is no door!
　　 "That thing is too far away from us! Just look at it enviously! Want to own it? It's too difficult!"
　　 "How did you bring such a precious clock to the flea market? Will anyone buy it here?"
　　 Ye Tian was very puzzled.
　　 Someone at the flea market will spend $150,000 on antique clocks? Give me a break!
　　 "Of course no one buys it! The purpose of bringing it here is not to sell at all, but to use it in the town to let everyone see the strength of our second-hand store.
　　 can also be used to attract attention and make everyone pay more attention to our booth. This is the real purpose. To put it bluntly, this is a sign! "
　　 "It turns out that this clock is really eye-catching."
　　 When they were talking, they arrived at the hot dog stand, and the two began to line up to buy hot dogs.
　　 The hot dogs here look really good, as can be seen from the look forward to the people in the queue and the smell.
　　 The line is relatively long, and it takes a few minutes to get to yourself.
　　 At this time, Ye Tian began to learn from Jason about the Chelsea Flea Market.
　　……
　　 Fifteen minutes later.
　　 After enjoying his two hot dogs, Jason was staring at the gobbled Ye Tian dumbfounded.
　　 This is already the fifth one he has eaten, and it is still like a wind rolling cloud!
　　 "Steven, how long have you not eaten enough? Why are you hungry like this? You just came out of the concentration camp! I really worry about your stomach! Do you have so many hot dogs?"
　　 "Don't worry, no problem, this hot dog is really good! Delicious!"
　　 Ye Tian raised his head and praised, and then continued to deal with the last hot dog in front of him.
　　 It was not until the hot dog was completely wiped out that he ended the lunch with satisfaction.
　　 "Man, you are so good to eat! You should go to the Big Appetizer Hot Dog Contest, you will definitely win the championship!"
　　 Jason sighed, still full of unbelievable expressions.
　　 After eating and drinking, the two took the hot dogs they brought to Miranda and started to return to the stall.
　　 "Tell me about Dumbo's harvest at DUMBO, have you found anything good?"
　　 "I did receive a few items, all of which were odds and ends. Among them, a set of silver tableware looked like antiques, but I'm not sure. I took a picture and you can help me see where they came from."
　　 Ye Tian took out his mobile phone as he said, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com showed Jason the tableware photos.
　　 He went back at noon and checked the origin of the silver tableware online, but he didn't find it out. The reason why he told Jason now is to use him to see if he can figure it out.
　　 Jason certainly does not have such a high level of appreciation, otherwise he would not be just a clerk.
　　 But his boss is absolutely not bad, as can be seen from the antique clocks and other antiques on the booth.
　　 And second-hand stores are inextricably linked with the antique circle. It's easy to find out this information through their channels.
　　 Hearing what Ye Tian said, Jason immediately became interested, and started to check Ye Tian's cell phone.
　　 There is only a silver spoon in the photo. In addition to the overall shape, there is a close-up of the special mark, which is very clear.
　　 "This spoon is really old. It seems to be a little old. As for ‘J’ is the craftsman’s personal logo, then I don’t know it. You need to look back and look it up carefully."
　　 The result was the same as Ye Tian thought. Jason couldn't see why.
　　 But it’s okay, doesn’t he still have a boss!
　　 Ye Tian immediately continued:
　　 "Send this photo to your boss, and ask him to help identify it, so it's a friend, okay?"
　　 Jason nodded and replied:
　　 "This is just a small matter, Benny will not refuse"
"awesome!"
　　 Ye Tian took the phone back and immediately sent the photo to Jason, and then Jason forwarded it to his boss.
　　 Soon, Benny called and asked about other details of the tableware, and then asked someone to study it and give a reply later, and then there was no news.
　　 Ye Tian didn’t wait, he came back and greeted Miranda and the others, he left the stall and started to sweep the Chelsea Flea Market
