Although the young man of Bancun really wanted to go home and try this Joy Zen Method, who made his current goal to strengthen the relationship with Yan Tong, so he had to endure his curiosity and continue to accompany Yan Tong to go shopping.

Just as a few people were walking and stopping all the way, looking for strange things in various stalls, they suddenly heard a noise.

"Boss, this wooden ruler was handed down by my grandfather from the older generation, how can it be worth only five hundred yuan?"

"Miss, your wooden ruler is of little use, and the material is very ordinary, not something valuable, and there are many stains on it, and the condition is not good. If it weren't for the fact that this is an old object from the Republic of China, I wouldn't even have 500 yuan. ”

Yan Tong and the others looked over curiously, only to see that in front of a shop more than 20 meters away from them, a young girl was bargaining with the greasy shopkeeper.

"Boss, can you add a little more money, how about a thousand yuan?"

The young girl frowned, trying to get too high a price.

"Miss, this 500 yuan is already the top price, if you don't sell it, go to other stores and have a look. But I can tell you that I won't even give you five hundred dollars in any store other than mine. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, biting the price to death, refusing to pay a penny more.

"Boss Sun, have you received any good things this month?"

Just as the young girl was bargaining with the shopkeeper, two middle-aged people in their forties and fifties walked over with a smile on their faces.

"Hey, Master Ma, Master Song, you haven't been here for a while. ”

After the shopkeeper saw the two, his face was immediately full of smiles, and he said mysteriously: "During this time, I have collected a lot of good things, why don't I take them out and show them to the two of you?"

The shopkeeper was very familiar with the two in front of him, and while greeting him warmly, he began to rummage through the cabinets.

As for Yan Tong and the others who also came over, they were completely ignored by him.

"Haha, that's exactly what we mean! This time, the metaphysical exchange meeting is about to be held, and the two of us don't want to make a bottom term like before, it's really embarrassing. ”

Ma Bocheng, who was a little taller, nodded with a smile, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the wooden ruler in the hand of the young girl.

He turned his head, looked at the young girl with a smile, and said with a smile: "Miss, is the wooden ruler in your hand ready to be sold to Boss Sun?

These words immediately made the eyes of everyone present converge on the young girl.

When seeing the cold temperament of the young girl and the hot body, Yan Tong, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

And Bancun young man and others were even more unbearable, their eyes were shining, and their saliva almost didn't come out.

Although their female companion is also a beauty, compared to the young girl in front of her, it is a little worse.

"Yes, you can take a look. ”

After staring at Ma Bocheng for a while, the young girl nodded lightly and handed over the wooden ruler in her hand.

Ma Bocheng took the wooden ruler, looked at it carefully for a while, nodded and praised: "This Dinglan ruler is very good, but it's a pity that the ruler surface is a little damaged and stained, otherwise, it should be a rare good thing." ”

"What do you say, Old Song?"

As he spoke, he handed the wooden ruler to the middle-aged man beside him.

"You're right, the handwriting on this wooden ruler is strong and powerful, it looks like it is from the hand of a certain master, and the wood is also very good, if the ruler is not so much defaced, it will cost at least fifty or sixty thousand yuan. ”

After reading it, Lao Song nodded, full of approval.

When the young girl heard this, she couldn't help but glance at the shopkeeper, frowned, and said, "Two gentlemen, just now this Boss Sun said that the material of this wooden ruler is ordinary, but it is still a useless wooden ruler, so he is only willing to give five hundred yuan, and he refuses to give out a penny more?"

"Hehe, Lao Sun, Lao Sun, you are really easy to change, and your nature is difficult to change, and you are fooling the guests here again, right?"

Ma Bocheng smiled when he heard this, and thought about it with his toes, knowing that Boss Sun deliberately lowered the price.

He explained to the young girl unhurriedly: "This wooden ruler, in fact, is called Ding Lan ruler, which is one of the feng shui tools, mainly used to build tombs, or to worship ancestral tablets and gods, to measure, and to determine good fortune and evil. ”

"Under normal circumstances, the Dinglan ruler is one foot two inches and eight minutes long, one foot is about 48.65 centimeters, divided into ten grids, and it is engraved with the cross of 'wealth, loss, prosperity, death, official, righteousness, suffering, prosperity, harm, and ding', and it is appropriate to use the auspicious character. ”

"By the way, there is a related allusion to this Ding Lan ruler, according to legend, in ancient times, Ding Lan was a filial son, but unfortunately when he was young, his mother died of illness. When Ding Lan grew up, he carved a wooden statue of his mother out of wood, because the carving was very vivid, so the ruler named by him himself was used to make wooden statues and rulers for the tablet of the god in ancient times......"

After listening to this popular science, the young girl realized that the wooden ruler she took was not useless, but that Boss Sun was deliberately deceiving her to reduce the price.

Thinking of this, she immediately turned her head and looked at Boss Sun with a bit of disgust in her eyes.

Boss Sun had to helplessly explain: "Miss, in fact, I don't lie to you, Master Ma's words are true, but your Dinglan ruler, the material is indeed just average, and there are messy defacements on it, and the sale is quite different." ”

"What's more, this Dinglan ruler can now be mass-produced, a few dollars cheaper, and it is bright and looks comfortable. Therefore, except for those feng shui masters who have special collecting hobbies, few people generally like this kind of defaced and poor Dinglan ruler. ”

"The reason why I am willing to give you five hundred dollars is because the words on this ruler are good, and the carving is excellent. Otherwise, even if you give it to me for nothing, I still think it takes up space. ”

Boss Sun shrugged his shoulders and explained the cause and effect clearly.

"Although Boss Sun didn't tell you that this is a Ding Lan ruler, in fact, his words are not wrong, this Ding Lan ruler should have a collection value, at least it should be more comfortable to look at. And your Dinglan ruler has a lot of defacements on it, and the quality is a little different, so it is really difficult to sell it at a high price. ”

Ma Bocheng nodded, agreeing with Boss Sun's words.

Yan Tong, who was standing on the side, didn't make a sound, and his eyes stayed on the Ding Lan ruler.

When the young girl decided to sell it to Boss Sun for 500 yuan after thinking about it, he said: "This young lady, I like your wooden ruler a little, why don't I pay 1,000 yuan, and you can resell it to me." ”
