Chapter 1: Black Porcelain White Dog
Late summer and early autumn, morning, windless, sunny.
Wu Duo was woken up by the noisy sound of the stall downstairs, and realized that he had forgotten to close the window last night.
My head hurts a little.
Drinking last night.
How do you drink so much?
Like, yesterday I lost my job······
worked in the famous Qixiang pawnshop for six months, and the probationary period expired, but he failed to become a regular.
Wu Duo shook his head, got out of bed and washed his face with cold water, brushed his teeth with warm water, and combed his hair again, and his head felt a lot more comfortable.
But he was hungry.
Let's go downstairs and get some food.
This is an open community near the western suburbs of Qizhou City. Wu grabbed the sixth floor, the top floor, a one-bedroom and a living room of fifty square meters.
Rented.
After going downstairs, Wu Duo came to the breakfast stall run by a couple who knew each other, "Sister-in-law Lu, two baskets of small soup dumplings, two fritters, two tea eggs, and a bowl of soy milk." ”
"Hey, Xiao Wu, why did you eat so much today?" Brother Lu, who was frying fritters over there, grinned.
"Hey, don't mention it, I was drunk last night and threw up. ”
As soon as Wu Duo's words fell, an old man on the small table next to him immediately shouted, "Xiao Wu, did you vomit?" I said that you will vomit when you get to your door, and you will vomit at my door! I will get up early in the morning and clean up!"
It turned out to be Uncle Xu, a neighbor on the fifth floor, an old man who lived alone, and was also his landlord. The fifth and sixth floors are two sets up and down, all of which are his houses.
"Oh, Uncle Xu, I didn't look at you just now! This, I thought I vomited in the bathroom when I entered the house! I'm really sorry, I invited you this time. ”
"If you want to ask, won't it be over if you quietly give the money? Isn't saying it so loudly forcing me to refuse?!"
Wu Duo was about to answer, but Sister-in-law Lu brought over breakfast, "What's the matter, Xiao Wu?
"Nothing. Wu Duo picked up the bowl and took a sip of soy milk first.
"You, you have also given birth to a good skin, you don't have a good shape all day long, who is out of love if you don't fall in love?" Uncle Xu spoke again.
Sister-in-law Lu burst out laughing, "Xiao Wu, you rely on this good skin!"
"Ahem!" Brother Lu coughed repeatedly.
Sister-in-law Lu left Wu Duo's small table, walked to Brother Lu's side, and quietly pinched his arm, "What kind of dry vinegar do you eat?"
Wu Duo secretly smiled bitterly, if you want to fall out of love, you have to have a female ticket first, and then the storm is like a storm and the clouds finish breakfast, check out and leave.
didn't want to go home for a while, so Wu Duo walked along the road to the outside of the community, ready to wander around at will.
Walking out of the community and coming to the side of the road, Wu Duo saw a man wearing a hard hat squatting on the sidewalk, and there were three people around him.
The man squatted on the ground, and a plastic bag was laid out in front of him, and a black porcelain was placed on the plastic bag.
The height of this piece of porcelain is fifteen or sixteen centimeters, and it has a large mouth and a round belly. At first glance, Wu Duo immediately thought of the spittoon. It's just that this size is not large, and it can only be regarded as a small spittoon.
There is a lot of dirt hanging on the "black spittoon", but it doesn't look like there is any obvious defect, and the exposed glaze is black and shiny, with a bit of metallic luster.
The man chattered that this thing was dug up on the construction site, and he didn't understand it, but since it was dug up, it should be an old thing, and copper coins were also dug up on the construction site, among which there is a kind of Chongning Tongbao, I heard that it was still from the Song Dynasty.
Among the three people gathered around, a man with glasses, about thirty years old, listened to him silently, and an old woman, with a pair of big eyes, asked a question or two from time to time.
There is another man, a man in his sixties, with a jacket and white shirt, black pants and black leather shoes, sparse and neat hair, looking like a retired old cadre.
After the man finished speaking, the old cadre commented, saying that this should be a "respectful" shape, and it looks like a shallow age.
Wu Duo listened to it for a while, and estimated in his heart that these eight achievements were a scam.
The man and the old cadre should be in a group.
Wu Duohao has also been in a pawn shop for half a year, although it is the first time he has encountered it on the street, but he has heard of similar scams more than once.
Moreover, how can this "black spittoon" have the feeling of "respect"? The glaze is still so bright, this is the so-called thief light, right?
Wu Duo was in the jewelry and jade department of the Qixiang Pawnshop Appraisal and Evaluation Center, because he majored in gems and material technology when he was in college, and he also took the GAC certificate with gem and jade appraisal qualifications.
Despite this, Wu Duo's interest in modern gems and jade products is far less than that of antiques, and he has not been less interested in information and markets in his spare time.
However, he is an entry-level player at best, and is better at talking on paper.
It seems that everyone is not stupid, and the glasses man and the aunt have left one after another. Wu Duo was also about to leave, but the old cadre accosted him, "Young man, do you see what the door is coming?"
"You're asking me?"
"yes, I saw you staring at it for a while. ”
"Oh, I was distracted. Sorry, that's it. After Wu Duo finished speaking, he didn't look at the old cadres anymore, and walked away.
Wu Duo thought as he walked, let's rest and relax today, and then start going all out to find a job tomorrow.
As I walked, I suddenly heard the sound of "chirping", and turned my head to look, and there seemed to be something arching in the holly bushes on the side of the road.
Squatting down and looking inside, it turned out to be a small puppy, stuck between two thick branches.
The branch jammed the puppy's chest and abdomen. The four little short legs kept throbbing, struggling anxiously and hard, but to no avail.
Wu Duo brushed away the branches and leaves with his hand. This puppy has short white hair all over its body, not like a precious dog breed, just like an ordinary little earth dog, but with a pair of ears, round eyes, and a fat body, it is very cute.
When the white puppy saw Wu Duo approaching, his mouth opened wide and barked hard, and Wu Duo saw a few small sharp baby teeth, which were estimated to be at least full moon.
"Don't worry, I'm here to save you. Wu Duo was caught by the puppy, pressed the branch with one hand, gently grabbed the back of its neck with the other, took it off, took out the holly bush, and put it on the ground.
After the little white dog landed, he quickly adjusted to a sitting position, raised his head and barked twice at Wu Duo's soft "Wangwang".
"Is this a thank you for me?" Wu Duo smiled and looked around again.
This kind of small earth dog, the Chinese pastoral dog, is not raised much in the urban area, and it may be born by a stray dog nearby. It looks like the puppy has just been weaned even if it is weaned, and it is so fat, the female dog is likely to be nearby.
Wu Duo didn't see the big dog around, so he touched its head instead, "Let's go, I'll be a good person to the end, and treat you as a little tadpole." ”
The little white dog circled Wu Duo's feet and neck for half a circle, and then ran out on his short legs.
"It's quite smart!" Wu Duo followed the little white dog and took a step.
