Chapter 078: Internet Celebrity Bird Keychain
Nowadays, our China coincides with the peaceful and prosperous era, so all kinds of treasure appreciation programs emerge in endlessly, and of course, antique markets in various places have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Although the scale of the antique market in the southeast city is not as good as the Panjiayuan antique market in the capital of God, it is also considered to have a certain scale, a hundreds of meters long ancient culture street is full of large and small antique shops on both sides, and there are also many stalls on the roadside to sell trinkets and small literary toys. The whole street is full of people coming and going, and it is very lively. No wonder some people say that people nowadays either go to the antique market to Taobao or go to the Internet to "Taobao"......
"Come, come, come, take a look, take a look, pass by, don't miss it! Handmade bird keychain, clearly marked price, Tong Su is not bullied! Yo, beauty! You are a student of Southeast University, I have seen you before, heh, the one next to you is your boyfriend, right? Tut-tut, what a talented woman, a match made in heaven! This must make many male classmates who love you envious, jealous and hate!" A tall and mighty young man who looked to be in his thirties hurriedly greeted Luo Xiaoman and the other three people when he saw Luo Xiaoman and the others coming over.
"Brother Zhong Lin, that keychain is very good-looking, let's go take a look. Luo Xiaoman said, pulling Zhong Lin and walked over, she didn't really want to buy things, but was attracted by the young man's sentence "Talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven......
"How do you know I'm a student at Southeast University, you've seen me?" Luo Xiaoman said to the young man who sold the keychain.
"I'm also a student at Southeast University, so naturally I know you, the school girl!" the young man said with a smile.
"You're also a student at Southeast University, make no mistake, you're so ......."
Luo Xiaoman originally wanted to say "You are so old", but he felt that saying that was a bit too hurtful, so he swallowed the second half of the words back.
"What's the matter, I'm just a little anxious, you go back to the school and inquire, who doesn't know the name of my 'Grandpa Bi' in Southeast University! Of course, a school-level character like you must not know, because you are 'Yangchun Baixue', and I am 'Xiariba people', and the difference between the two is 108,000 miles!"
The young man made a bitter face, and then said: "Okay, don't talk about this, start your own business, handmade bird keychains, the price is clearly marked at 30 yuan each, you can have a pair with your boyfriend." ”
This person who calls himself "Grandpa Bi" has a set of skills to observe words and feelings, and Luo Xiaoman is happy in his heart.
"'Grandpa Bi'?!Well, this name is quite in line with your appearance. Luo Xiaoman said "poof" and laughed.
Not to mention, although this "Grandpa Bi" looks relatively rough, but this craftsmanship is really not bad, and his bird keychain is very exquisite. If it weren't for the various tools and semi-finished products on the floor, it would be hard to imagine that these keychains were handmade by him.
"Hey, you're really handmade, but can you make money with a lot of hard work?" Luo Xiaoman said as he flipped through the keychain with a keychain.
"Hey, beauty, you are an understanding person, don't hide it from the beauty, you say, I can only make a lunch box money by selling it for a day! But brother is not for money, to put it nicely, 'Brother sells not keychains, brother sells fun'. ”
"Grandpa Bi" said and laughed to himself, with a bit of simplicity in that laughter.
Luo Xiaoman picked two keychains, just one Guanyin, one Maitreya Buddha, as the saying goes: "Men wear Guanyin, women wear Buddha" just made up a pair.
"Well, for your sake of taking care of my business, I'll give you a word engraved on the keychain for free. Purely handmade, coupled with the engraved words, I dare to guarantee that it is absolutely unique!" This "Grandpa Bi" is obviously in a good mood today.
"Really, then you carve the word 'man' on this keychain of Maitreya Buddha, and engrave the word 'Lin' on this keychain of Guanyin," Luo Xiaoman said and picked up a keychain of Maitreya Buddha and said, "I will buy another one, and you can carve the word 'moon' on this keychain." ”
"Come on, wait for me for two minutes, and I'll be fine. ”
"Grandpa Bi" said that his hand had been operated neatly, and soon the three words were engraved.
Luo Xiaoman took the three keychains and shook them in front of Zhong Lin's eyes, and said beautifully: "How about it, it's beautiful, little aunt, let's have one for each of the three of us." ”
Zhong Lin was finally infected by Luo Xiaoman's enthusiasm, and a smile appeared on his face.
Luo Xiaoman paid the money very satisfied, took the keychain, and was about to pull Zhong Lin away, only to hear "Grandpa Bi" say: "Hey, beauty, are you going to the antique market to Taobao......bei?"
Not to mention, this "Grandpa Bi" is a warm-hearted person.
Luo Xiaoman, who had already taken a few steps, waved his hand back elegantly and said, "Thank you!"
Leaving the stall of the Internet celebrity bird keychain of "Grandpa Bi", Luo Xiaoman gave Zhong Lin the one with Guanyin among the three keychains, and repeatedly told him to keep it, and then the three of them began to visit the antique market......
The antique shops on both sides of the ancient culture street sell everything: some specialize in porcelain, some specialize in calligraphy and painting, and some specialize in selling wood carvings, bracelets and furniture, but more are antique shops with all kinds of miscellaneous goods.
"Hey, Brother Zhong Lin, Grandpa Zhang, look, is that the Ding you just mentioned?" Luo Xiaoman said excitedly, pointing to an antique shop not far in front of him.
Zhong Lin looked in the direction of Luo Xiaoman's finger, and saw that there was indeed a black three-legged and two-eared tripod almost one meter high and half a meter wide at the door of the antique shop called "Yipinge".
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
Luo Xiaoman said as he dragged Zhong Lin and Old Man Zhang with his left and right hands and one hand at the same time, and walked towards the store.
"Boss, boss, how did you sell this ding?" Luo Xiaoman asked impatiently.
At this time, an old man with a white beard in his sixties walked out of the store, looked Zhong Lin and the other three up and down, especially at Old Man Zhang. Today, Old Man Zhang is still wearing a coat that is very similar to the Taoist robe, which is really too conspicuous, and the white beard looked at it for a long time before he said: "Oh, little girl, you said this Ding, this is the treasure of our town store, it is not for sale, I'm sorry, I can't sell it to you, so let's go inside, you three come in and have a look, see if there are any other objects you want......
"Hey, don't sell it, why don't you put it out, we're going to buy this!" Luo Xiaoman said with a pout.
The black line on Zhong Lin's head came out again, and he thought to himself: "My little aunt and grandmother, do you buy things like this? Isn't this stretching your neck for people to slaughter!"
Sure enough, the white-bearded shopkeeper deliberately made a hesitant look, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, as if he had made a very difficult decision, and said: "Little girl, let's do this, see that you like this tripod so much, it must be very related to it, there is an unwritten rule in our industry, that is, 'only sell destined people', originally our Ding will never be sold, since you are destined to be a person, then sell it to you!"
The white beard said that the circles under his eyes were a little red, and he had the feeling of slashing horses with tears and enduring the pain of making treasures.
Looking at the white-bearded reaction, Luo Xiaoman was also moved, so he asked, "Thank you, boss!"
The white-bearded old man frowned, still looking hesitant, and finally stomped his foot and said, "Well...... , since you are destined, so let's give you 500,000 yuan, this is the ancient Ding of the Shang and Zhou periods!"
"What?!500,000?!"
When Luo Xiaoman heard this, he stuck out his tongue and said, "Boss, 500,000 is a bit too expensive, can it be cheaper?"
"Little girl, I have already said it just now, I gave it to you because you are its destined person, otherwise I will not let it, the price of 500,000 is not high, if you don't buy it, then forget it, I have a lot of other antiquities in the store, otherwise you three choose the others?" said the white-bearded man and was about to go to the store.
Luo Xiaoman turned his head to look at Zhong Lin and said, "Brother Zhong Lin, look at this...... Otherwise, I'll ask my dad to see if he has any money. ”
Zhong Lin couldn't help it at the moment, and said to Luo Xiaoman with a smile: "I'll tell him." ”
"Who said that it is also this price, it can't be less. Whitebeard said first, putting on a posture of not giving an inch.
"Uncle, you're a good Ding! Look at these Tuqin, tsk......t-tut," Zhong Lin said, stroking Ding's body with his hand......
Sure enough, he didn't feel a trace of antiquity, but his mouth was still praising it, "This Ding seems to be old, what age is it?"
The white-bearded old man raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and thought to himself: "Today is really lucky, I met these two mallets that are less than half a bottle of sticks!"
"Hehe, you're not mistaken, I've already said it just now, this is from the Shang and Zhou periods!" said the white-bearded old man.
At this time, Old Man Zhang also walked over, squinted his eyes and said, "Why do I look at this Ding more and more like the Ding of the Heavenly Master's Mansion?"
"Hey, old man, you can see it really accurately! This tripod was originally a pair with the tripod of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the one in the Heavenly Master's Mansion is a male tripod, and I am a female tripod, it seems that you are indeed an expert, the baby is only destined for people, and I will give it to you today. But you have to make a decision early, the money is in place to be considered a deal, and when my old man comes back, maybe he won't let me sell it. As he spoke, the white-bearded old man made another look that was difficult to let go.
Luo Xiaoman hurriedly said to Zhong Lin: "Then it's decided, I'll call my father." ”
Zhong Lin smiled slightly, waved his hand to signal Luo Xiaoman not to worry, and then said to the white-bearded old man: "Boss, I think this workmanship is not bad, and it is also an object in the yard, so how about I give you a thousand yuan?"
The old man Zhang on the side couldn't help but laugh.
The white-bearded old man understands this time, and the old and young in front of him are not mallets at all, but real experts.
"Forget it, forget it, don't sell it, don't sell it, let's go!"
Seeing that no one saw through it, the white-bearded old man couldn't hold his face anymore.
Zhong Lin and Old Man Zhang turned around and left, Luo Xiaoman chased after Zhong Lin inexplicably, and whispered: "Otherwise, let's buy it......!
Zhong Lin said: "You forgot what that 'Grandpa Bi' said just now......
"Ah?!You say that Ding is fake?" Luo Xiaoman was a little unconvinced, he thought that Zhong Lin thought it was expensive and didn't buy it.
"It's a little mallet to deceive you. Zhong Lin finally laughed out loud as he spoke.
"Wow, dare to lie to me, I'll go to him. Luo Xiaoman pouted and was about to go back, wanting to reason with Whitebeard.
"No, no, let's go. Zhong Lin pulled Luo Xiaoman and left.
"That's not good, this person is too bad, 500,000, he dares to cheat, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, he will lie to others in the future. The more Luo Xiaoman spoke, the more angry he became.
"I've taught him a lesson. Zhong Lin said and winked at Luo Xiaoman.
Luo Xiaoman glanced at Zhong Lin in a daze, she didn't understand what Zhong Lin meant by "having taught him a lesson". But Zhong Lin had already said so, and she didn't insist anymore.
However, if Luo Xiaoman came to the antique street again the next day, she would definitely find that the tripod was gone, because less than two hours after they left, the tripod suddenly shattered in half......
