Chapter 323: Those who come do not refuse
Xiaoxue didn't know how much this statue was worth, she estimated her savings, including her usual pocket money, New Year's money and the anchor's income, which added up to a lot of money, and she didn't have much to spend, so she slowly accumulated a lot of money. However, she didn't want to give too expensive gifts, if it was too expensive, Zhang Zi'an would definitely not accept it, don't look at that person is always stingy, but last time the netizen's donations were rejected by him.
"Hmm...... How much does this cat god cost? I can't afford it if it's too expensive......," she asked the old man with a sneer, not very skilled in her bargaining skills. She was afraid that the old man would not believe it, so she quickly explained: "I'm just a small anchor, not like a big national anchor who earns millions a day......"
"How much is it......"
The old man seemed to see through her thoughts, stretched out five fingers, and said with a smile: "Just give this number." ”
Xiaoxue has the most headache for others to play this kind of dumb riddle, how many are five fingers?
"Fifty thousand?" she asked tentatively, and if the old man said it was five hundred thousand, then she would have to turn around and leave.
"It doesn't take that much, five thousand. The old man put down his hand and laughed, thinking that the expression on her face was amusing.
Xiaoxue exclaimed again, "Five thousand, you're not kidding, are you?"
"Am I joking?" the old man folded his hands upside down, and his expression was serious, "I'm a businessman, how can I make a price casually?"
"But ......" Xiaoxue was still in disbelief. This statue doesn't look like it's worth only 5,000 yuan, and even a small ornament of some kind of wood that someone else gave her father claims to be worth tens of thousands of dollars, which seems to her to be completely unreasonable, isn't it just a piece of broken wood? But this statue is different, the material, shape, and origin are extraordinary, unless the old man deliberately deceives her, there is no reason why it is no better than a small ornament of broken wood.
Will he lie to her?" Xiaoxue peeked at him. Although the liar will not write the word "liar" on his face, this old man really does not look like a liar, whether it is the appearance or the way he talks, is there any benefit to him in lying to her? Besides, even if he is deceived, it is only 5,000 yuan!
The old man also knew that he had to explain something further, otherwise he would be misunderstood by others and think that he had other plans, which would be too wronged. If only he really had a plan, but the problem is no, he just thinks that this little girl is very pleasing to the eye, as long as he looks pleasing to the eye, he has given out more valuable things.
He smiled and said, "A while ago, a guest took a fancy to this statue and booked it, but then he didn't make an appointment to pick it up, and I couldn't get in touch." Therefore, I am also very difficult to deal with it - throw it away, but unfortunately, it should not be treated like this, and it is estimated that it will be picked up and sent to the scrap yard to be sold as scrap copper...... Stay, I'm not in the right place to let it stay. Therefore, if the little customer can buy it, it will be a matter of my heart. ”
Xiaoxue blinked, she was innocent but not stupid, and asked carefully: "Listen to what you mean, it seems that you dislike this statue very much?"
She had vaguely felt before, why did such a precious statue be thrown in the corner of the store and left to dust?
The old man did not answer her question directly, but walked to the door and beckoned to her, "Little guest, you come out and have a look." ”
Xiaoxue walked up to him and looked out.
The old man raised his hand and pointed to the wall on the opposite side of the alley, where several stray cats were wandering, constantly looking this way, as if they wanted to come, but did not dare to come, wanted to leave, and were reluctant to leave. Xiaoxue didn't understand why she was asked to watch this.
"I'm a cat lover. "This statue was given to me by one of my students, and he knew that I loved cats, so he went to great lengths to get this statue for me." If you suspect that the statue is coming from the wrong place, you don't have to, it was neither stolen nor robbed. ”
"Oh, you're a teacher?" asked Xiaoxue. She felt that the old man was elegant, like an old pedant, but even if he was a teacher, he was afraid that he would have retired early.
"It was a long time ago. He straightened his waist and looked into the distance, and said contentedly, "Barely the world is full of peach and plum." ”
Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, let's talk about this statue first." My student gave me the statue, and I was very happy to know that the statue of the cat god had an extraordinary origin. ”
"If you like it, why do you want to sell it?" Xiaoxue was even more puzzled.
The old man also showed a puzzled look, "I love cats, and when I was in Beijing, I not only raised my own cats, but I couldn't help but feed stray cats when I saw them...... But since I came to Marina City, strange things have happened, and no matter what food I offer to lure, these stray cats have never dared to approach my shop. After investigating, I found that the problem was with the statue of the cat god, as long as it was taken out of the store, those stray cats dared to come. ”
Xiaoxue listened attentively and did not interrupt him.
"I don't believe in evil in my life, but the facts are there, and it's not up to me to believe it. The old man smiled bitterly, "I have only one inference - the divine object is psychic, even if it is just a fake." ”
Hearing the words "divine psychic", Xiaoxue felt a chill behind her, and shrank her little face into the collar of her down jacket again.
The old man said: "That's why I'm in a hurry to send it away - I can't control it, my little shop can't hold it, and the temple can't accommodate this great immortal." ”
When Xiaoxue heard this, she hesitated. If this cat god statue is really as strange as the old man said, I'm afraid there will be problems when it is sent to the pet store, right? There are a lot of cats in the pet store, if you are frightened by the cat god statue...... She can't afford that. But it's a pity to just give up, it's an opportunity that is likely to be missed and won't be there anymore.
She couldn't make up her mind, so she was lazy to think of a way, and said to the old man: "I'm sorry, in fact, I want to buy this statue and give it away, I want to discuss it with him before deciding, okay?"
The old man smiled, "Guests, please take care of yourself." After saying that, he picked up the feather duster again, walked back to the store to sweep this and that, with a leisurely demeanor.
Xiaoxue sent a message to Zhang Zi'an.
Xiaoxue: I'm going to go live from you in a while, okay?
Zhang Zi'an replied in seconds: If you can let me advertise, you are welcome.
Xiaoxue: "......" is really still the same Zhang Zi'an, and it hasn't changed at all.
Xiaoxue: I heard that your store is about to reopen, and I've been causing you trouble many times, so I'm going to bring some gifts, but I don't know if it's appropriate......
Zhang Zi'an: What's inappropriate? I'll dare to accept it if it's a gift! Speaking ahead, don't expect me to give me a discount, and don't expect me to return the gift.
Xiaoxue burst out laughing.
Koyuki: This gift is a bit weird, the store says it's very supernatural, especially for cats, it seems to make cats panic.
Zhang Zi'an: Is it worth the money?
Light snow:...... It's worth some money.
Zhang Zi'an: Then I won't refuse to come, even if I send it, I don't believe that I can't cure it!
Xiaoxue: Okay, then I'll come over with a gift in a moment.
She put away her phone, put down a concern, trotted back to the store, and said to the old man, "I want to buy this cat god statue!"
