Chapter 816: Stealing the Ancient Map
But you stinky boy better not lie to us, if I find out you're lying to us, see how I clean you up. ”
"Sister, my dear third sister, how can I lie to you? I wouldn't dare to give me ten dares. ”
Hearing Dabao say this, the third child smiled and said, "It's good to know." ”
Seeing the proud appearance of the third sister, Dabao thought: You are the one who deceives, if I don't deceive you, will I still have a good life?
But he didn't dare to say it, because it was purely to clean up.
Dabao did not go to the store for the next two days, and did not go until Saturday morning, of course, he did not go empty-handed, but took the ancient picture in the living room.
And he took it secretly, no way, he knew that this ancient picture was worth a lot of money, if he told his father, his father would never let him take it, there was no way, he could only take it secretly.
After coming to the store, I didn't see Master, so I guess Master went to the back studio again.
Dabao hurriedly ran to the studio in the back, and sure enough, the master was inside.
"Master, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing, didn't you go to a ghost market a few days ago! I bought something and came back, I'll take a look at it now." ”
"Isn't it, Master, it's been a few days, and you're just watching it today?"
Hearing Dabao's words, the old man glared at him and said, "Who told you that I only watched it today?"
Hearing what Master said, Dabao glanced to the side and asked in surprise, "Master, have you moved the ghost market back?"
This can't be blamed for why Dabao said that, because he saw that there were at least hundreds of items on the floor of the studio.
He hadn't seen these items before, and needless to say, they had just been bought by Master.
"Are you alright?" asked the old man, looking at him.
"It's nothing!" said Dabao.
"Just go look at those things if you're fine. The old man pointed to the pile of objects on the ground.
"Master, wait for this first, you can take a look at this first. Dabao handed a scroll to Master.
"What is this?"
"Take a look. Dabao didn't say.
The old man took the scroll in confusion, then opened it and spread it on the workbench.
As soon as he opened them, the old man's eyes lit up, and when they were all opened, the old man said, "Good thing! This picture alone is definitely more than the total value of the pile of things on the ground." ”
"Uh, Master, it's not that exaggerated, is it?"
"You know the, do you know what it is?"
"I don't know. Dabao shook his head.
"This is an ancient map, and it is estimated that there will never be a second copy in this world. ”
"Oh! no. Dabao was also surprised, following the master for so long, he knew more or less the value of these antiques.
He understands the value of a unique book, if this ancient map is really unique, then the value is high.
"Do you see, this is the largest map in the history of China. ”
"Really?" Dabao asked in surprise.
"If you don't learn no art, you can't learn no art, and you will learn history well in the future, and an antique appraiser must know history clearly. ”
"Oh! ”
"But stinky boy, what are you doing with this picture for me?"
The old man knew that this was definitely not bought by Dabao, it should have been taken out from home, so he asked.
"Master, have you forgotten that piece of silk?"
"Silk map?" The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at Dabao and asked, "You mean that the picture is a certain place on this ancient map?"
"That's right, this is it. Dabao pointed to a position in the middle of the ancient map.
Hearing Dabao say this, the old man hurriedly ran to a cabinet next to him and took out the silk diagram.
"Good boy, can you see this?" the old man looked at Dabao in disbelief.
Even if it was him, the picture had been put in front of him just now, and he had read it again, but he didn't see anything.
But Dabao just glanced at this picture that day, and he thought of something, and he could remember clearly that this talent is definitely not something that can be obtained by hard work.
From this point of view, Dabao was born to eat this dinner.
In fact, he thinks too much, Dabao just has an excellent memory, and he basically won't forget what he has seen once.
This is the same as his father and his eldest sister, not that he is very talented.
"Master, what do you think this place should be?"
"I'll see. Then the old man began to study this ancient map, studied it for a long time, and said, "Go and find me a map of the world now." ”
"Uh, Master, wait a minute, I'll buy it. ”
Dabao came out of the store and hailed a taxi.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to Xinhua Bookstore. ”
"Okay. ”
Xinhua Bookstore is actually not very far from the store, but Dabao can't run to it! Besides, Master is still waiting for it!
For twenty yuan, Dabao bought three maps, a map of the world, a map of China, and after thinking about it, he bought another map of the imperial capital.
The map of the world was requested by the master, and he was going to hang the map of China and the imperial capital in the store.
Because he had been to his father's company, he saw three maps hanging in his father's office.
So he plans to hang it in his own store, so that it looks stylish.
"Master, here you go. After returning, Dabao hurriedly handed the world map to Master.
The old man hurriedly opened the map, and then calculated according to the time map.
Seeing that the master was busy, and knowing that this would not be over in a while, Dabao came outside.
Although the antique shop is not open for three years, it can't be closed all the time!
Then he sat behind the counter as if he were really and became the shopkeeper.
There was basically no business in the antique shop, so Dabao took out the master's notes, and then began to read them, which was given to him by the master and written by the master all his life.
It can be said that it is extremely precious, and the one in Dabao's hand is only one of them, and of course the master cannot write this notebook in his lifetime.
In Master's words, this was written when he was young, and he asked Dabao to read it from beginning to end, and Master had dozens of notes like this in his hand.
In fact, Dabao could have memorized the words on it a long time ago, but he was still reading it, because every time he read it, he felt different to Dabao.
It can be said that there are different perceptions, which makes Dabao very interested, and this is the only thing Dabao has been interested in over the years.
If he let the master, he should be proud, but unfortunately the master didn't know, and thought that the treasure hadn't finished reading it yet.
Just this notebook, a total of no more than 200,000 words, it doesn't take a day for Dabao to memorize it backwards.
Just like Master said, it's not enough to just memorize, you have to eat the knowledge inside, as long as you eat the knowledge thoroughly, it doesn't matter if you remember it or not.
This is a bit of a trick that doesn't mean that you learn the moves first, and then forget the moves.
It's a pity that Dabao can't forget, because he will remember everything he has seen, and it is impossible to forget it, so he can only feel it himself.
"Kid, where is the shopkeeper in your store?"
Just as Dabao was watching with relish, a voice interrupted him, and Dabao looked up to see that it was an old man in his sixties.
He asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"I want to buy something. ”
"Buy, then you can just look for me. ”
"Uh!" the old man glanced at Dabao and said, "You better call the shopkeeper out! ”
Dabao knew that people were also kind, so he didn't get angry, smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't lose money, everything in our store has a price." ”
"Alright then, show me the inkstone. ”
"Wait a minute. Dabao put down the notes, took the inkstone in the past, put it in front of the old man and said, "This is something from the early Qing Dynasty, and the price is not cheap." ”
"Yes! I know. ”
Then I saw the old man take out a magnifying glass and take a picture of the inkstone, seeing this, Dabao shook his head.
That's all you need to do! something you can see at a glance.
But he seems to have forgotten that not everyone is like him.
After watching it for about ten minutes, the old man put down the magnifying glass and asked, "Little friend, how much does this inkstone cost?"
"One hundred and eighty thousand. ”
"Ten...... 180,000?" The old man was taken aback by the price.
"Yes, 180,000. ”
"Can it be cheaper?"
"No, you can't. ”
"Uh! There is no bargaining in business, you can't just say how much you want, right?"
"You're right, I'm really going to pay as much as I say, but I can assure you that you can't buy fakes with me. ”
"Oh, are you sure?"
"Sure, and the penalty for false one is ten. ”
Although Dabao has already said so, the old man still didn't buy it, there is no way, the price of 180,000 yuan is indeed too expensive, and 50,000 yuan is about the same.
Of course, this is what the old man thinks himself, Dabao will not sell for 50,000 yuan, if it is sold for 50,000 yuan, it is better for him to keep it himself.
Not only this inkstone, but also all the items in Dabao's store are expensive, and they are not ordinarily high, and Dabao's master doesn't say a word about this.
Basically, he will sell whatever price Dabao sets, and as for whether he can sell it, the old man never thinks about it, and the house apprentice is rich.
The more treasures there were in the store, the happier he became, and the old man didn't want to sell them in the first place.
Let's put it this way, since the opening of this store, there have been at least thousands of treasures that have been received, but there are not even ten treasures that have been sold.
Not only that, but the old man also got a non-sale area, that is, the treasures that were included in the non-sale area were not sold for any amount of money.
Dabao doesn't care about this, anyway, he sets a price to come out, and if someone buys it, he sells it, and if no one buys it, he keeps it.
Just like Master said, he is not short of money, and when he really needs money, he can just sell a few pieces.
