43: Chapter 43: I Sell Divine Dragon Bone_1 43: Chapter 43: I Sell Divine Dragon Bone_1 The hustle flow of people at the train station did not stop nor start due to a sudden increase or decrease in one stall.

As the sun rose, the crowd became more congested.

Yan Fei suddenly realized his view has been blocked for a while.

Those passing by should only block for a moment, so he lifted his head.

“What type of bone is this, kid?”, a middle-aged man with glasses confronted him displeased.

“Divine Dragon Bone!” Yan Fei didn’t care about the man’s harsh tone.

The man burst into laughter, “Hehe, there’s a tiger bone seller over there.

You sell dragon bones?

And divine dragon bones at that?

How old are you?

Little kids should be focused on good things, not all these nonsensical stuff.

That guy over there is your father, right?

How old are you?”

With an unchanged expression, Yan Fei replied, “I’m on holiday and trying to earn tuition money.

That guy isn’t related to me at all, don’t make up connections!”

The man found it amusing and exasperating, “Alright, alright, I believe you.

But do you seriously think you can earn tuition fees by deceiving people?”

Yan Fei remained calm and took the sledgehammer next to him, “Deceiving?

Try smashing it.”

“If I smash it and break it, I’ll have to buy it, right?

You’re quite the tricky kid!” The man was flabbergasted.

Yan Fei stood up, “Step aside, watch this.

If I cheat you out of a penny, call the cops.”

Seeing him lift the sledgehammer, the man instinctively stepped back.

Yan Fei swung the hammer once, twice…

It took until the third hit for the bone to crack open, and even then it only cracked into a few pieces.

Yan Fei had great confidence in this bone.

The creatures of the dinosaur world, none of them looked easy to intimidate.

If tigers are stronger than cows, and hence tiger bones are better than cow bones, then the bone he’d picked up must also have belonged to a non-vegetarian — because the bone originally had a sickle-like claw attached to it, which he had broken off since it was inconvenient to carry.

Putting down the hammer, Yan Fei sat back down, ignoring the meddlesome man.

He hadn’t planned on selling anything in the first place; he was only in a bad mood and wanted to annoy a conman on the other side of the street.

Now that he was ignoring the man, the man became interested instead.

The sound made by the hammer hitting the bone couldn’t have been faked, and the small iron plate below was a little deformed.

At least the beef bones he usually ate were not this hard.

The man crouched down, picked up a piece of the bone without asking, and began examining it intently.

After looking for a while and weighing it in his hand, he asked, “What kind of bone is this?”

“Dragon bone!

Divine dragon bone!”

“Not tiger bone?”

Yan Fei rolled his eyes, “You think I’m too young to know that selling tiger bones is illegal!

This is dragon bone, believe it or not.”

The man continued to examine it carefully.

Yan Fei, however, wasn’t worried about him inspecting it.

After all, it was indeed a dragon bone.

Absolutely fresh dinosaur bone.

Who knows what kind of dinosaur it was, picked up from a Pterosaur’s nest.

Largely sized bones similar to tiger’s were hard to find, hence Yan Fei had to resort to this.

He guessed it was probably a corpse when the Pterosaurs brought it back, after scouring all the Pterosaur nests, he only found four or five appropriate sized bones, and only two were fresh.

Besides this one with the claw broken off, there was another even fresher one, still covered in flesh.

The meat wasn’t spoiled or poisonous.

After scrutinizing it for a long time, the man finally asked, “How much is it?”

Yan Fei glanced at the tiger bone seller not far away who was craning his neck to look this way, held up five fingers and said, “Five dollars.”

Then he pulled back four fingers and shook one finger, “One tael.”

The man didn’t care about his show-off nature, he steeled himself and said, “Weigh it for me, just this piece.”

Yan Fei weighed it in his hand, “Just over two taels, I’ll give it to you for two taels, ten dollars.”

The man was completely baffled, “I’m asking you, do you want to sell it or not?

Who do you think you are?

Just a casual gesture and it’s suddenly over two taels?”

Yan Fei didn’t even bother to engage him anymore.

If it wasn’t for the crowd of onlookers from the commotion earlier, he wouldn’t have wanted to deal with this man at all, “Just try and weigh it yourself, it must be around two and a half taels.

If you weigh it, you have to pay me for two and a half taels.”.

The uncle pulled out a brand new scale and weighed it a few times, then pulled a face: “Two taels and six, how much is that?”

Yan Fei didn’t feel sorry for him at all: “I asked you for ten bucks and you didn’t give it.

You insisted on weighing it.

Fine, fine, it’s a lucky start, I’ll charge you twelve.”

Watching the uncle’s painful face, Yan Fei felt a bit acidic inside.

Who would want to buy this piece of rubbish when perfectly good sweet potatoes aren’t selling?

Just after receiving twelve from the uncle, someone in the crowd commented, “Aren’t you just scamming for money?”

Upon hearing these words, the uncle’s cheeks turned red.

He was genuinely trying to advise Yan Fei, a young man, to learn something practical instead of deceiving people.

But instead, he ended up convincing himself and spent twelve dollars.

This man, most likely a teacher or someone similar, didn’t have thick skin like Yan Fei.

So he quickly squeezed his way out of the crowd and left in a hurry.

Yan Fei felt puzzled.

Why are the intelligent people coming to him when others are selling “tiger bone” in broad daylight at the train station plaza?

He was so exasperated that he tossed his big hammer forward: “Come on, come on, smash it.

It’s perfect, I don’t have to put in any effort.”

Indeed, a young guy came forward, Yan Fei pointed to the intact end of the bone: “Don’t hit the part I just opened.

Hit here instead…”

You have to understand my full context.

The guy blew on his palm, rubbed his hands together, and swung the big hammer, but not before asking, “Can I break it even if I don’t buy it?”

Seeing Yan Fei nod, the big hammer fell with a bang.

Yan Fei was quick to react, he darted up and grabbed sideways, catching the shattered bone: “Do you even know how to smash things?

Can’t you aim properly?!”

The surrounding people also jumped in fright.

If the young man’s blow had sent the bone flying into someone, it wouldn’t be a good situation.

The young man’s face turned a bit red: “I did aim, see, I hit it, didn’t I?”

Before he had finished speaking, a girl came from behind, took out ten dollars, grabbed a small piece, and pulled the boy away: “This small piece is smaller than the one just now.

I took it for ten dollars, let’s go!

Are you trying to embarrass us?”

The following words she said must have been for the young man.

Yan Fei picked up the ten dollars from the stand, not knowing what to think anymore.

He cast a lazy glance around: “Any of you ever seen a bone this hard?”

Since this was a popular intersection, anywhere the crowd had gathered was sure to grow larger.

By now, a few people who had been standing around from the beginning started to get their money out.

Yan Fei’s hammer flew as he smashed the bone into pieces.

Occasionally, some “enthusiastic audience” even helped him smash for a while.

This bone was probably more authentic than the genuine tiger bone.

It was certainly heavy, which ordinary bone of this size could possibly be this heavy?

A bone of the same size, a tiger bone would be twice as heavy as a cow bone, let alone a bone larger and heavier than a tiger bone.

How much could it sell for at five dollars per tael?

Anyway, it was still not sold out yet.

Yan Fei had collected so much money that his hand actually felt soft.

Shortly, the aunt who sold baked buns could not sit still: “Little brother!

What kind of bone is this in the end?”

Yan Fei chuckled, stretched out his hand and picked up a small piece of bone from the stall: “Dragon bone!

Here’s a small piece, Auntie, take it home for big brother to soak in wine.

It might be of some use!”

Seeing some gain, the aunt pretended to refuse a couple of times, and then walked away laughing and twisting, not caring anymore what kind of bone it was.

By noon, there was no time to eat.

For this expensive thing that cost dozens of dollars just for a small amount, very few people simply paid and left.

Most of them had to ask all sorts of questions before buying, and even after making their purchase, they still didn’t leave, continuing to question.

Some people didn’t even know what specific diseases it could treat, or how to use it, but they bought it.

The reason was, it’s a rare item, buy some and take it home.

It’s just a small amount, if you don’t buy it, it will be gone later.

At noon, Yan Fei bought baked buns again.

The aunt selling baked buns was too embarrassed to ask for money, but Yan Fei insisted on stuffing it to her.

Chewing on the baked buns, looking at those buying his merchandise, Yan Fei felt it inconceivable.

If asked any more questions, he would just say: “In any case, it’s dragon bone.

Soak it in wine, how to soak it, go to an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

I don’t know what effects it has.”

Even though he appeared to be all perky and confident, actually he felt uneasy accepting the money.

In spite of that, his business was booming like there’s no tomorrow.

The cockier he acted, the better business he gets.

It truly didn’t make any sense!
