Chapter 21 The big prize, picking up the big leak
Are you calling me?" Zheng Xiaoyi looked up and down at the person who grabbed him, that person was a middle-aged man, thin and weak, with a pair of eyes that were very large, and looked a bit like 'I want to kill you.' 'Feng Gong.
This person's dress is also very interesting, with a very comedic effect, with a yellow jacket on the upper body, sleeves up to the elbow, and bloomers on the bottom.
"This little brother, I have been watching you for a long time on the side, and I can see that you are an expert, so I am looking for you, I don't know if you are interested in ornaments? Go to my booth to see it, they are all good things, there are ...... You know, you don't usually take it out......" leaned closer to Zheng Xiaoyi's ear and whispered, a pair of big eyes were looking around, dripping around, no matter how you look at it, it looks sneaky.
"Oh, where is your stall? I won't go if it's far away......" Zheng Xiaoyi asked noncommittally, if he wasn't in this market, he would never go, now in this society, especially in this kind of place, there are three religions and nine streams mixed, one is not careful, losing money is a trivial matter, and it is not unheard of to die.
"Little brother, my stall is next to this, you walked by just now, didn't pay attention......" pointed to a stall on the road where Zheng Xiaoyi came just now.
Zheng Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, and heard the person in front of him say that the stall was on the street he had just walked on, and he had to go back anyway, and it would be okay to find Guo Dashao to eat.
"Brother Tiger, take out our unicorn and give this little brother a palm......" When the two of them walked to the front of the stall, they shouted loudly to a man sitting behind the stall spread in red cloth.
Zheng Xiaoyi's eyes saw that when the big-eyed man shouted, his eyes kept blinking as if he had entered the sand, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Brother Hu's stall is the same as the stalls next to it, a two-meter-square red cloth is spread on the ground, and there are some coins and bronzes and other objects on it.
"Brother Yan, didn't I tell you a long time ago, did anyone want that unicorn?, I didn't put it out if I didn't see it, why did you take someone to see the goods again. Brother Xiong, the stall owner, looked impatient, and his mouth was talking to the big-eyed man, and his eyes seemed to be aimed at Zheng Xiaoyi.
"If someone asks for it, I may not be able to afford it, so if I do, then I'll go." Zheng Xiaoyi was too lazy to provoke these local snakes, and he was about to leave when he turned around, and it was noon soon, and he was going to have dinner with Guo Dashao.
"Don't, don't mind, little brother, this good thing is rare, it's not too late to see it, Brother Tiger, I've never seen you rush out to catch guests like this!" The big-eyed man hurriedly grabbed Zheng Xiaoyi.
"It's okay to see, but if this brother likes it, it's not easy for me to do it, I have promised others, yes, let's take a look before I ......" Brother Xiong saw that Zheng Xiaoyi was leaving, and his tone immediately softened. The two people in front of me are singing double reeds, fooling novices who don't know how to do it or have just entered the industry, but it is far worse if they want to deceive Zheng Xiaoyi.
Zheng Xiaoyi stopped when he heard this, he was going back anyway, it didn't hurt to take a look, he also had a trace of luck in his heart, maybe this person really had some good goods in his hands, even if it was true, these two goods might not necessarily understand, at first glance, they were just hawkers who went around blindly receiving goods and dumping some fake goods, not connoisseurs.
Brother Tiger saw this young man turn around, but also secretly happy in his heart, just now he and Brother Yan observed for a long time, and saw that he stopped at every stall that sold old things, but he just looked, and did not buy it, such people generally understand, but looking at his age, it is estimated that he has just entered the industry, and belongs to a bottle of vinegar that is not satisfied, and half a bottle is swaying.
Brother Tiger stood up, Zheng Xiaoyi saw that he was sitting on a rattan woven box, after opening the box, Brother Tiger carefully took out a square carton wrapped in yellow cloth with both hands, uncovered the yellow cloth wrapped in the carton, just looking at the appearance, the unicorn is worn out a little worn, and it looks like an old object. But for Zheng Xiaoyi, rust stains are fake.
"Two, I'm a little unsure about this thing, so you'd better put it away first. Zheng Xiaoyi raised his head and said to the two tiger brothers and eye brothers in front of him with expectant looks.
As soon as Zheng Xiaoyi's words came out, Brother Tiger and Brother Yan looked at each other, but they didn't expect to say a jargon without even asking the price, which was the two of them walking away. When they met Zheng Xiaoyi, they were unlucky, this ornament was old-fashioned, it can be regarded as relatively clever, it can almost be fake, after the latest old-fashioned treatment, ordinary people will definitely think it is true, but what they met is a reborn person who does not take the usual path, and later generations use rotten methods, Zheng Xiaoyi is too easy to distinguish, but the painstaking work is lost.
Brother Tiger is also single, after hearing Zheng Xiaoyi's words, he quickly wrapped the unicorn and put it back in the box, this is their food, anyway, there are more people in society who want to take advantage of it now, and if Zheng Xiaoyi is not covered, naturally there will still be other people who will be fooled.
Zheng Xiaoyi is also interested, who knows that after shopping all morning, he has not encountered a single valuable thing, and it seems that it is not so easy to pick up the legendary leaks. Turning around to leave, I saw a brand-new bright Buddha statue at a glance, the Buddha statue as a whole is black and purple, revealing the oil shine outward, it is a sitting statue of Maitreya Buddha, one foot high, but it is brushed with a layer of varnish, and even the face of Maitreya Buddha has left paint marks.
Zheng Xiaoyi saw that Brother Hu was about to close the box, so he opened his mouth and said to him: "Brother Hu, can you let me see this Buddha of yours for a while? My mother said let me touch one for her." β
"Little brother, look, if you like this Buddha statue, I will sell it to you cheaply. β
"Hehe, it's cheap, I'll take a look first, if you like it, buy it, thank you Brother Tiger first!"
Zheng Xiaoyi replied with a smile and began to look at the Maitreya Buddha in his hand.
Zheng Xiaoyi secretly wiped the bottom of the Maitreya Buddha with his thumb a few times, and talked to Brother Yan while wiping, and looked carefully, this Maitreya Buddha statue has a wide forehead, eyes slightly closed, a smile half opened, two big ears hanging down to the shoulders, bare chest and abdomen, cross-legged humerus, leaning on a cloth bag and sitting, right hand on the knee, a leisurely and comfortable expression.
From the point of view of carving, this work is finely carved, the knife is skillful, and the whole line is natural and smooth, but I don't know why his master will brush the varnish, see that the paint surface is a little yellow, it should have been brushed for more than 20 years, but it is preserved quite carefully, there is no scratch at all.
"Huh!"
When Zheng Xiaoyi turned over this carving, his heart couldn't help beating faster, because he smelled a strong sauce fragrance, the bottom may have been moved for a long time, the paint surface was worn off, and the texture revealed a luster, sea yellow, Zheng Xiaoyi confirmed and looked at the entire Buddha statue again, deep and quaint shape, it should still be an old object of some ages, it itself has historical value, and the price is even more expensive, this object in front of you, I am afraid that its market price will not be low, especially if it is an old object with inheritance, it is a priceless treasureγ
After deciding that this was a Haihuang Buddha statue, he shook his head, Zheng Xiaoyi put those thoughts behind him, now is not the time to delve into this issue.
'Well, it's the paint brush.' Zheng Xiaoyi sighed as if to put it down.
'Just give me twenty, give me an opening, such a big object, it's worth the fire.' Brother Tiger said impatiently.
'Forget it, I've been bothering you for a long time. Zheng Xiaoyi dug out his pockets;'Just return sixteen, Brother Tiger will be happy in the afternoon, let's get lucky.' β
'Count you to speak. Brother Qian Hu said, "It's cheap, take it!" laughed in his heart, pretending to be quite similar, it turned out that he didn't understand the fart, and he also wanted to paint the stuff on the miscellaneous wood, and he collected the waste for nothing, and made a net profit of sixteen.
Zheng Xiaoyi unhurriedly packed into his backpack and walked to the teahouse. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he pulled Guo Dashao and left.
"Let's eat first, the snacks of this City God Temple are a must!" Guo Dashao said.
Zheng Xiaoyi lowered his voice and said to Guo Dashao, "If you have something urgent, go back to the hotel." β
After taking a taxi, the two hurried back to the hotel and entered the room, Guo Dashao finally spoke, "What's the matter, I'm so nervous that I don't dare to ask." β
"Starling, get up and look at good things, uncle's good things......" Zheng Xiaoyi laughed wildly.
