Even though the shop was big, there were no employees except for a middle-aged man behind the counter.
Qiao Mei did not hear the man speak even after she had been in the shop for a while. He did not solicit business like what people did at the other shops.
The shopkeeper imagined that a young lady would not know much about antiques and likely found the items interesting without knowing anything about the value. He focused on wiping his beloved grasshopper cage and did not pay any attention to Qiao Mei at all.
Qiao Mei did not mind at all. She was just here to take a look. Besides, many things were broken and tattered and there was nothing that attracted her.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Qiao Mei said as she looked at the things on the shelf.
Upon hearing the sound, the shopkeeper looked up at Qiao Mei and said, "Oh my, little girl. What's the matter, are you looking down on my things?"
