By the time Ye Tian arrived at the Chelsea flea market, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It is the hottest time here, and the market is crowded with people inside and outside, and it is very lively.

The Chelsea Flea Market is a street market, next to Madison Park, near the Flatiron Building, with a relatively large space, is an old flea market, 40 years old, and is very famous throughout the New York area.

There are about 135 stalls, most of which sell a variety of antiques, antiques and handicrafts, and some are food stalls.

Unlike other flea markets, it not only sells antiques, thrift, and food, but also has stray dog adoption agencies that come here to set up stalls and find cute shovelers for the dogs.

On weekends, the market attracts people from all over New York, and even from other cities.

People come here for different purposes, some are here to find treasures, some are here to taste food, and some are here to experience New York culture, which is the outdoor museum of New York.

Paying $1 to walk into the market, Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and began to contact Jason.

It's lunchtime, so it's time to treat him to a hot dog and get a feel for it.

After a passionate rock 'n' roll, the phone answered.

"Hello, I'm Jason, may I ask the one?"

'I'm Steven, I'm in Chelsea, where is your stall?

"Booth 48, you can see it all the way down the middle aisle, and here I am"

"OK, that's it"

After speaking, Ye Tian hung up the phone and walked inside.

While following the crowd, Ye Tian also kept scanning the stalls on both sides of the passage, in order to find the treasure that made his eyes shine.

The Chelsea flea market is significantly higher in grade than DUBO's Dumbo, with more used goods, more people on Taobao, and frequent transactions.

Of course, there were more glowing antiques in Ye Tian's eyes.

Walking less than ten meters forward, Ye Tian had already seen the white light many times, with different levels of brightness, basically covering antiques from various eras in the past hundred years, some of which were valuable, and some of which were of little value.

In addition to these, there are several striking red rays, all of which are antiques from the nineteenth century, mostly from the middle and late periods, which have uneven halos and have certain artistic value.

This discovery made him excited, and it seems that he will have a good harvest today!

But it's not time for a treasure hunt, it's time to eat!

Since he was equipped with this ability, Ye Tian found that his appetite had increased a lot, and the speed of digestion and absorption had also accelerated, and it was easy to feel hungry.

Obviously, his abilities can't help but consume antique aura, as well as calories.

Continuing forward, Ye Tian saw Jason and their stall, with a sign standing in front of it, which said Benny Second-hand Store.

There were a few guests in front of the booth, Jason and two colleagues were busy introducing the goods, and 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.

Idle, he began to scan the second-hand stall.

There is no need to think about old goods, the sight passes, and the old goods sold in second-hand stores are the last link in the sales chain, and they are not profitable at all.

Unless you have something you need or particularly like, there's no need to waste time.

Ye Tian's eyes were quickly attracted by a few items that shone with white light on the spread, as well as a table clock that radiated crimson light all over its body.

Through the light emitted by the table clock, as well as the appearance characteristics, Ye Tian made a basic judgment in an instant.

It is a classicist-style gilt bronze table clock, very ornate, from the beginning of the 19th century, in working order and very well preserved.

And from the thickness of the halo, it can also be determined that the artistic value of this table clock is not low, and it should be very valuable!

Benny has a lot of treasures in the second-hand store! Come to the flea market to set up a stall, and be willing to take out so many antiques, it seems that it is a second-hand store with a good background.

Then, Ye Tian glanced at the location of these antiques again, and he immediately understood that these treasures were by no means cheap!

All the antiques that radiate light are in the middle position, next to a few clerks, within reach.

It can be seen that they are very aware of the value of these things.

This is especially true of the antique table clock, which is not only placed in the back, but also has a clear glass cover and white gloves next to it, which is obviously for people to appreciate.

Seeing this, Ye Tian immediately lost interest and retracted his gaze to look at the communication between Jason and the customer.

......

After two or three minutes.

Jason closed the deal with the 50-something customer, and sold a beautiful set of coffee cups for $40, to the satisfaction of both parties.

After handing over the money to the colleague in charge of the accounts, Jason immediately walked over with a smile.

"Hey, Steven, long waiting"

"It's okay, it won't be a few minutes in total"

After a few pleasantries, Jason introduced Ye Tian to his colleagues.

"This is Steven, amazing buddy! He was the one who picked up a Luger P08 in the $1 garbage warehouse!"

"Wow! God's darling has arrived!"

The female clerk who collected the money said enviously, and another black buddy in his early twenties also had an envious expression.

Ye Tian smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

"Hello, I'm Ye Tian, it's nice to meet you"

"Hey, I'm Miranda, it's a pleasure to meet you, lucky guy!"

"Hey, I'm Parker!"

The two clerks shook hands with Ye Tian and hugged each other, and said their names.

Ye Tian then said with a wry smile:

"I'm not God's favorite! It was a terrible situation before! Jason understands that this time it was just luck!"

Jason nodded slightly to the two colleagues, making sure he was right.

"That's also very good, it means that your bad luck has passed, and the good days have begun!

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, his stomach kept protesting, hungry!

And the 'gurgling' sound from his stomach was also heard by Jason and them, and several people had smiles on their faces.

Ye Tian didn't care about any demeanor, and hurriedly said:

"Jason, have you had lunch? If not, let's go get something to eat, just eat that hot dog you said, I'm too hungry to stand it."

"Dude, you don't look like you've just made a fortune!

Jason teased him.

"Hahaha"

Both Miranda and Parker burst out laughing.

"I'm afraid the refugees are better than me, I'm hungry enough to eat an elephant now! Hurry up! If you don't want to go, then I'll go by myself."

Ye Tian said with a wry smile, and then he was about to leave and go to the hot dog stall not far away.

"Let's go! I haven't eaten either!"

Jason turned back to Miranda and explained a few words, and then quickly followed.

"You have a very beautiful grandfather clock, how much does it cost? If the price is right, I want to buy it."

While walking towards the hot dog stand, Ye Tian pretended to ask casually.

Maybe there's a leak to pick up!

But Jason's next answer made him realize that he was thinking too much!

"Dude, of course it's a beautiful clock! Everybody loves it! It's an early nineteenth-century classicist-style clock from European royalty, and it costs $200,000.

If you pay that price, you can own it, make it your treasure, and trust me, this antique will definitely elevate the owner's qualifications!

Jason half-jokingly said the price of the grandfather clock, he didn't believe that Ye Tian had this strength!

"Wow! It's too expensive! Buy it? Then mine sold both kidneys, I'm afraid it may not be enough!"

Ye Tian pretended to be surprised and sighed, this price was about the same as his estimate.

The owner of Benny's second-hand store obviously knows this grandfather clock very well, and wants to take advantage of it, but there is no door!

"It's too far away from us! Just look at it with envy! Want to have it? It's too difficult!"

"How did you bring such a precious grandfather clock to the flea market?

Ye Tian was very puzzled.

Will someone in the flea market spend 150,000 US dollars on an antique clock?

"Of course no one buys it! The purpose of bringing it here is not to sell it at all, but to use it to show everyone the strength of our second-hand store.

At the same time, it can also be used to attract attention and make everyone pay more attention to our stall, which is the real purpose, to put it bluntly, this is a signboard!"

"I see, this grandfather clock is really eye-catching"

As they spoke, 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, and you can see from the expectant expressions of the people in the queue and the smell of them.

The queue is relatively long, and it takes a few minutes to get to yourself.

During this time, Ye Tian began to ask Jason about the situation in the Chelsea flea market.

......

Fifteen minutes later.

Jason finished enjoying his two hot dogs and was looking at Ye Tian who was gobbling up in amazement.

This is already the fifth he has eaten, and it is still like a whirlwind and clouds!

"Steven, how long have you not had enough to eat? Why are you so hungry? Like you just came out of a concentration camp! I'm worried about your stomach! Do you have so many hot dogs?"

"Don't worry, no problem, this hot dog is really good!

Ye Tian raised his head and praised, and then continued to deal with the last hot dog in front of him.

It wasn't until the hot dog was completely eliminated that he ended the lunch with satisfaction.

"Dude, you're so delicious! You should go to the Big Stomach Hot Dog Contest and you're sure to win the championship!"

Jason sighed, still with a look of disbelief on his face.

After eating and drinking, the two began to return to the stall with the hot dog they had brought for Miranda.

"Tell me about the harvest at DUMBO, have you found any good things?"

"I did collect a few things, all of them are bits and pieces, and there is a set of silver cutlery that looks like an antique, but I'm not sure, I took a picture, you can help see where they came from"

Ye Tian took out his mobile phone as he spoke, and showed Jason a photo of the tableware.

He checked the origin of the silver tableware on the Internet when he went back at noon, but he didn't find out, and the reason why he told Jason now was to use him to see if he could figure out the matter.

Jason certainly doesn't have such a high level of appreciation, otherwise he wouldn't just be a clerk.

But his boss is definitely not bad, as can be seen from the antique clocks on the stall and other antiques.

And second-hand stores are inextricably linked to the antiques industry, and it's easy to find out this information through their channels.

Hearing Ye Tian say this, Jason immediately became interested, took Ye Tian's mobile phone and began to check.

There is only a silver spoon in the photo, and in addition to the overall shape, there is a close-up of that special mark, which is very clear.

"This spoon is really old enough, it seems to be a bit old, as for the 'J' is the personal logo of the craftsman, then I don't know, I need to go back and check carefully"

The result was the same as Ye Tian thought, and Jason couldn't see the reason at all.

But it doesn't matter, doesn't he still have a boss!

Ye Tian immediately continued:

"Send this photo to your boss and ask him to help identify it, and just say it's a friend's, okay?"

Jason nodded in response:

"It's just a trifle, Benny won't refuse"

"Great!"

Ye Tian took back his phone and immediately sent the photo to Jason, who then forwarded it to his boss.

Soon, Benny called, asked for other details of the dishes, and then said to find someone to study and give a reply later, after which there was no news.

Ye Tian didn't wait, he came back to say hello to Miranda, and he left the stall and began to sweep the Chelsea flea market
