Chapter 119 - 94 Market Fun
To be honest, the pottery sold in this shop is quite different from what you’d usually find in a pottery store. There are very few everyday pottery items, while most are exquisitely crafted, high-quality luxury pottery pieces intended for indoor display, and some of them are even damaged.
Xie Pangbo knew these pottery items were looted by the rebel army from the wealthy district; these people from poor backgrounds truly wouldn’t let a single coin slip by!
Xie Pangbo looked idly at the bronze shop across the street, which used to be a jewelry shop. He estimated that all the gold and silver jewelry was taken by those soldiers and turned into a bronze shop. But inside, there were hardly any practical bronze items—mostly decorative pieces, like bronze statues.
Xie Pangbo couldn’t help but grumble inwardly; he didn’t think these items could sell under the current circumstances.
After some casual chat with a neighboring shop companion, Xie Pangbo noticed figures moving at the market entrance: The one called Alakosia was right; people really have come today!
The pottery shop was located near the market entrance, giving him a clear view. The incoming people were Sarabia citizens; they looked around at the entrance for a moment before rushing down the street. Some who were calmer came to the pottery shop first to ask, "Where are the flour, vegetable, and meat vendors?"
"Moved to the very back." Xie Pangbo pointed with his hand, thinking that these rebels were cunning to place the food shops at the far end of the market, forcing Sarabia civilians to pass all the shops. But if they’re not interested in buying, no matter how clever they are, it won’t work.
Despite his thoughts, he couldn’t help but start shouting, "Selling pottery, finest pottery! Collins’ black pottery, Athens’ red pottery! And paintings by famous artists! These pottery items could be found in the homes of wealthy nobles in the past, but now you have the opportunity to own them! Come buy them, don’t miss out on this great opportunity!..."
Xie Pangbo shouted until his mouth was dry, and then paused to take a sip of water from a wooden cup.
