Chapter 142: Tourist street

Bai Yi Yang and her siblings finished getting ready by 5.15 pm and head outside. When they were passing by the lobby, the staff who recognise them exchange a few words with them and ask if they need anything.

Only after that they head outside, like walking around the village, the children is excited. There is nothing to worry about car here because this street doesn't allow car to passed by, the place was built for pedestrians.

The tourist street is really prosperous, half of the people here are foreigners and half are native. A long line of shops are on the left and right of the street, so many shops raging from various clothing brand, shop specialised in selling hat and hat making, leather shoes, coat, furs, and so on.

Bai Yi Yang didn't bring her siblings to enter clothing store that is available in big shopping malls since there are a lot of famous brand's shop on this street too. She bring them to shops which they found unique and interesting. So as a result, they ends up buying a few weird things that they found interesting. The siblings had so much fun picking interesting things.

"Eh, what is that big building?" Bai Yi Yang is attracted to a tall building with traditional element, it is a two storey building between an antique shop and a gold jewellery shop.

"That shop is selling jade, but people don't dare to take it seriously. The authenticity is not proven. Only those foreigners believe it. How can jade be sold with only a few hundred to thousand yuan." Bai Yi Chen said.

"So, it's a fake shop? How come they are that prosperous then?" Bai Yi Yang ask.

"Don't know. Come, we proceed forward." Bai Yi Chen said, his hand is full with bags from a few shops now. What more, TongTong is also sitting on his shoulder.

"Let's go inside just to take a look." Bai Yi Yang grinned. She is very curious about this shop now.

Bai Yi Chen can only sigh and follow his siblings. Bai Yi Yang and her siblings is already stepping into the shop excitedly, just like what Bai Yi Chen said, the customer inside are all foreigners, only the staff are local talking with their broken english.

And the funny thing is that on the left and right side of the doors are big words of 'buy at your own risk, once bought no return'. Isn't this screaming out loud that they won't guarantee the authenticity of the items. Even the words of the staff is a bit ambiguous when they are are explaining things, something like they got it from other place here and there and just responsible to sell it. The customer can look carefully and judge it themselves, they won't interfere but they also won't be responsible. There is still this kind of things? Well, it's true though, it's not like they claimed that all the items are original.

'TongTong, can I activate my authentication skills to Level 2? I want to see whether this is all fake or not. Look at the price, if they are real, then we really will hit a jackpot.' Bai Yi Yang smile. The staff in charge here seems to be clueless about jade too, really can't rely on them.

[Successful. Skills-Authentication, Level 2. Total points: 1,266]

Bai Yi Yang then pull her siblings to look around the display. Well, most of the products are really fake, maybe about 90% are fake, but there are a few that is authentic.

"These looks adorable. Let's buy a jade figurine each." Bai Yi Yang said to her siblings when they arrived at a glass counter with many jade figurines displayed.

"Good!" The small siblings didn't think about the things being authentic or not, they just wanted it since it looks good. What jade ah, what gold ah, it's all the same in their eyes.

Only Bai Yi Chen feel conflicted when he saw the price range of 300-500 yuan, a small animal figurine of 10-12 cm cost that much. If it is real, then the price won't be this low, but knowing that it is fake, this price is a bit too expensive. If Bai Yi Yang like it, they can just go to a toy store and bought prettier design than the one in this so-called jadeite shop.

"Little miss, which one do you want?" The staff in front of the counter smile widely. They found a big customer ah. These figurine always attracted young customers but there are rarely buyers, maybe because the price of their shop is too low, so people don't believe that a figurine this big with nice carving is real jade. Must be a bluff.

Bai Yi Yang look over the figurines and point out 5 types of animals figurines, the owl, bear, rooster, wolf, lion and a dragon. Each type of animals has a few figurines, each in different form. Bai Yi Yang only choose the authentic and one with pretty carvings.

"Good choice, good choice." The staff praise as he show the siblings the pieces that Bai Yi Yang pointed out at the top of the counter.

"Okay, we will take all of this." Bai Yi Yang feel satisfied.

'Host, you are evil. These things will cost thousands if they are in a real jadeite shop.' TongTong said. But it is also laughing in its heart.

'It's good enough that I only bought these 5. What if I am someone who wanted to get rich with these, I would have bought all the authentic one and sell it for a higher price, leaving the people with all the fake one.' Bai Yi Yang said. However, the shop is not entirely wrong here, it's depend on people who can discern fake and authentic jade.

The staff returned with 5 velvet boxes and put the pieces carefully into their boxes. This makes people around them to feel that the things in this shop is really authentic. 5 pieces at once, only a fool will buy if they are fake.

While putting the items into the velvet box, the staff is very enthusiastic as he introduced a few more items that children may like, such as adorable necklace locket made of jade, this is a big customer ah, he should promote more.

Bai Yi Yang look over the items at the other counter where jade was made into small lockets, earrings, small beads for bracelets and so on. The girls eyes lights up when they saw these. Bai Yi Chen become more helpless but seeing that his siblings is happily picking things, he let them be and sat at the waiting area. The male staff saw him and bring him to sit at the side with Bai Yi Mo while the girls is choosing around.

This shop is actually not much different from other jewellery shop, its just that their concept is by using the name jadeite.

Bai Yi Yang had fun choosing for her siblings. Since these things are small, so there are also more choices of authentic jade stone. Whenever she saw an authentic one, she will ask her sister if they like it, she also won't pick out the one with ugly designs even though they are authentic. So her purchase look very natural. Her siblings also like it very much, and she is very happy to have purchased all these good things fr this price.

So Bai Yi Yang ends up choosing a lot of small jade charms ranging from cheap 100-150 yuan for Bai Yi Fang to play around and to be given to the children at dinner later, then earrings that cost 100-150 yuan, 250 yuan bangle for both Grandma Nian and Grandma Zhou, jade pendants for the grown up men, adorable rabbit pendant for Zhang Ming Ming, a beautiful brooch for Zhou Zhu Yao which cost 350 yuan, bracelet and rings and so on for the other ladies and relatives of the Zhou family.

'TongTong, I really ends up robbing the whole shop.' Bai Yi Yang said as she proceed to the counter to pay. The staff is now busy sorting out her choices and placing them in velvet box big and small. Whisper from customers and staff surround them when seeing that she is buying this much.

'You are really robbing then host.' TongTong laugh.

"Miss, maybe…you can choose more carefully..our shop will not return money after purchase." The male staff who attend to them now feeling guilty. He also knows that their shop is selling both fake and only a small bit of authentic items, this customer is choosing only the pretty one instead of choosing carefully, he feels guilty cheating her.

"No problem, just take all of the one I pointed out." Bai Yi Yang smile. Bai Yi Chen at the side also said so when the male staff look at him, Bai Yi Chen was worried at first but when he saw Bai Yi Yang being so confident, he guess maybe she knows which one is real and fake. Bai Yi Yang is far from being a fool, maybe buying the figurine is an impulse, but when she is this confident with a big smile on her face, he knows that she is not bluffing.

So, the male staff become more careful with the item and arrange them carefully into the velvet boxes and finally into the shopping bags.

Bai Yi Yang ends up paying more than 15,000 yuan for all the items. She pay it happily with a light heart. What a worthy purchase ah. The Bai siblings didn't feel anything and leave with extra heavy shopping bags from the jadeite shop.

"So lucky, how much is 20% from that purchase ah." A coworker come to the male staff who is feeling a bit depressed for cheating 15,000 yuan from the children.

"Shut up, I am not in a good mood." The male stuff said. A few hundred yuan is still okay, but 15,000 yuan seems a bit too much. He enter the staff room and sat inside there for a while to reflect on himself. He will get a hefty 3,000 yuan from this purchase alone but that doesn't feel that good. When he come out, the people also come to him and ask him to bring them around, suddenly, he became so popular so he forgot about that matter right away.

As for Bai Yi Yang and her siblings, they proceed with their journey along the street. Buying various dry tea leaves, dry herbs and so on. They even tried a few street food in small amount, they don't want to eat too much since they are going to eat dinner later.

When it was almost 7.00 pm, the siblings rushed back to the hotel with all the stuff in their hands. Both Bai Yi Chen and Bai Yi Yang hands are full with shopping bags, seems like they need to buy another luggage bag later.

When they arrived at their room, the children went to take a bath while Bai Yi Yang sorted out the gifts that they are going to bring later. Then she also arranged her siblings clothing for tonight, it was colder when they returned from the tourist street so she prepared a thicker clothes for tonight.

Since they may get a bit exhausted, she also prepare a bottle of water with a drop of energy replenishing solution that still have 9 drops remaining after she purchase it last time. She told her siblings to drink more water and hand out half a cup of water for all of them, they immediately feel energetic again.

After that, she also went to take a bath and lastly it was Bai Yi Chen who finished getting prepared in no time. At 7.38 pm, they all head down to wait for the taxi. She already book a taxi at 7.45 pm and they will head to the restaurant using taxi.

Since Bai Yu Jing big family is coming, their car is full. Bai Yu Jing can pick them up later but she refused since they can just use the hotel taxi.
