Chapter 079: Eat a trench to grow a wisdom
"Hmph, Brother Zhong Lin, Grandpa Zhang, it turns out that you already know that Ding is fake, since that's the case, why don't you tell me, and watch me being deceived by that hateful shopkeeper......" Luo Xiaomanjiao said angrily.
Old Man Zhang smiled without saying a word, twisted his neck twice in the direction of Zhong Lin, and pursed his lips, which seemed to mean, "Your brother Zhong Lin didn't say anything, how can I tell you?"
Zhong Lin looked at Luo Xiaoman, and said with a smile: "How can you buy things like that, stretch your neck and let people slaughter, this is to let you eat a trench and grow wise, otherwise you will have to be deceived in the future! Oh, by the way, you can watch from the sidelines when I and Grandpa Zhang buy things in a while......
"Oh, okay, but ......" Luo Xiaoman wanted to say something, but after seeing Zhong Lin's expression, his small mouth pursed again, and said, "Brother Zhong Lin, do you think I'm stupid?"
Zhong Lin stiffened his face and said: "Well, to be honest, there is a little bit, but it can't be described as "stupid", it should be said that it is simple, but it is quite cute." ”
Hearing Zhong Lin say this, Luo Xiaoman finally smiled happily, and his heart was happy. But then he pouted and said, "That means I'm 'silly and sweet'?" Okay, isn't it just a little bit of a heart? I was mainly in a hurry just now, otherwise, I wouldn't have been deceived by him so easily. Wait a minute, and see how I do it. ”
In fact, what Luo Xiaoman said was not wrong, she was indeed too anxious to behave like that just now, because Zhong Lin and they were anxious about Ding's affairs, so she lost her judgment as soon as she saw Ding.
The three of them walked all the way, looked all the way, and also entered a few stores, and there were a lot of things, even thunder split peach wood, thunder split jujube wood, and the asking price was also very expensive! This time Luo Xiaoman became well-behaved, just watched from the sidelines, and didn't say a word. But those so-called thunder splitting wood can't get into Old Man Zhang's eyes at all, let alone Zhong Lin.
The thunder splitting wood has the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and ordinary people can't feel it, but Zhong Lin can feel it as long as he touches it with his hand. What's more, one or two of the stores actually sold rune paper, all kinds of colors, but Zhong Lin didn't even bother to look at it......
Old Man Zhang took a fancy to a few ancient objects, but most of them didn't feel the ancient breath when Zhong Lin touched them with his hands, even if some of them were indeed old things, they also had an ancient breath, but Zhong Lin didn't feel the slightest mana from them, so he didn't buy them.
"Nameless Zhai! The name of this shop is a bit interesting, Brother Zhong Lin, let's go in and have a look." Luo Xiaoman said as he took the lead in walking into an antique shop called "Nameless Zhai".
The shops along the street are about the same size, and when you walk into "Wumingzhai", the first thing you feel is "fresh". Although it is also a miscellaneous shop, the various types of antiques in this store are very neatly organized, so you can see it at a glance.
The owner was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a kind appearance, and what was particularly striking was that he had a wisp of beard.
There are very few beards for people of his age, which can be described as rare, which is very special. Looking at the round figure again, there is always a kind smile on his chubby face, giving people a sense of intimacy, when Zhong Lin and the others entered the door, he was making tea leisurely alone.
Seeing someone coming in, the boss hurriedly stood up and greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Three, let's see what you need?"
Zhong Lin walked around the store, only to see that there were porcelain, calligraphy and painting, jade, wood carving, stone carving, some coins, bronze mirrors and other miscellaneous items, Zhong Lin finally set his eyes on the display cabinet where the miscellaneous items were placed.
This display case contains several copper coins, two bronze mirrors, a mahogany sword and several compasses. Among the several copper coins, there is a Five Emperor Coin - Yongzheng Tongbao, but it is a pity, it is a Xiaoping Baoquan Bureau, that is, the Arhat style, but there is a victory, but there is none, this is still the first thing that Zhong Lin has taken a fancy to them along the way.
"Boss, take out this copper coin and show it to me. Zhong Lin pointed to the Yongzheng Tongbao and said.
"Okay, young man, you really have a vision, I have so many copper coins here, you have taken a fancy to this!" said the boss, putting on white gloves, and then took out Yongzheng Tongbao from the display cabinet and put it on a tray covered with red flannel.
Zhong Lin also asked the shopkeeper for a pair of gloves, and after putting them on, he held the Yongzheng Tongbao in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully......
Although the age is not very old, Zhong Lin can still feel the breath of history, especially what makes him happy is that there is a trace of mana on this Yongzheng Tong Treasure. Zhong Lin thought to himself, it seems that the mana of these five emperor coins is only related to the age, and it doesn't seem to matter much as which bureau it was cast. However, the average collector does not know this, but thinks that "rare things are expensive", and the smaller the number of things in the world, the higher the price. Take the same Yongzheng Tongbao as an example, the price of different foundries will be dozens or even hundreds of times different.
Of course, for general collectors or investors, it is understandable to decide the direction of collection and investment based on the principle of "rare is expensive", just as the story of the two out-of-print stamps has been talked about and widely circulated.
"Boss, I haven't asked you your surname yet, and besides, how much is this 'Luohan style'?" Zhong Lin asked very politely.
"Oh, don't be surnamed Huang, it seems that the little brother is also an expert, since that's the case, I won't say secret words in front of the Mingren, you can also see it, this is the real thing, if you sincerely want it, give 500 yuan." Boss Huang said very casually.
"500 yuan is too expensive, Boss Huang, you might as well give us a discount!" Before Zhong Lin could speak, Luo Xiaoman spoke first.
"This ...... , My price is not high, I see that the little brother is an expert, so I quoted this price, so let's do it, since this girl has spoken, I will give you a 20% discount, what do you think? Even if we make friends, you will become a ...... in the future" Boss Huang is a very cheerful person.
Zhong Lin nodded and said, "Okay, Boss Huang, then according to what you said, get a twenty-percent discount, you find me a box, put it up first, and then I'll see if there is anything else to buy." ”
Zhong Lin said, his eyes fell on a compass again, if you want to say a compass, it is a bit different from the ordinary compass! First of all, the general compass has a lot of words on the surface of the disc regardless of the material, including the heavenly stem and the earthly branch and the five elements gossip or something. And the compass in front of me, it is bare, there is not a word, if it were not for that pointer, it is estimated that many people will regard it as a bronze mirror, or it is more like a compass.
"Boss Huang, you put this ...... Take it out and show it to me. Zhong Lin couldn't confirm whether this object was a compass or not.
"Okay, wait a minute. Boss Huang said, carefully taking out the "four dislikes" compass from the display case.
"Boss Huang, what is this thing of yours?" Zhong Lin asked.
"Well, I can't say for sure, but I think it should be a compass, maybe an unfinished compass, but his age should be a long time ago. Boss Huang said.
When Boss Huang introduced, Zhong Lin had already held the compass in his hand. To his great surprise, he actually felt a strong sense of age, stronger than the age sense of the Great Five Emperor Money he had obtained in Hongzhou before, and it was obvious that this thing was at least before the Qin Dynasty. In addition, what made him unbelievable was that this "four dislikes" compass actually contained a rich mana, which was a thousand times more than the mana on the previous Yongzheng Tongbao!
When Zhong Lin was strange, Luo Xiaoman spoke: "Boss Huang, what kind of compass are you, I think you are more like a bronze mirror! No, there is a pointer on it, it is more like a compass! Okay, according to what you said, it is a compass, it is also an unfinished compass, and it should be regarded as a defective product, if it is not for that pointer, it is simply a piece of iron lump, such a 'four dislikes' you also sell it, you just said it, make a friend, then give us this 'iron lump'." ”
Boss Huang's face was red by what Luo Xiaoman said, and it took a long time to speak: "Although I don't know what this thing is, it is indeed an old object, it has been many years, you three look at this bag of pulp ......"
"What's the use of old objects, a piece of iron lump is to put it down for a thousand years, ten thousand years, it is still a lump of iron, it will only be a little more rust, well, since you don't send it, then you can make a price...... Luo Xiaoman said.
Boss Huang gritted his teeth and said: "If you really want it, you can give me a thousand yuan, this is what my old man left when he opened the store, and I won't sell it if there is ...... less."
"It's not that you haven't sold it for a long time, you still have to be so ......" Luo Xiaoman still wanted to bargain, but was stopped by Zhong Lin.
"Boss Huang, I want this thing, you can also put it up!" Zhong Lin said, and took out the bank card directly from his pocket.
"Brother Zhong Lin, why are you stopping me, I haven't been able to cut the price just now, at least I can let him give him a 20% discount......"
Out of the "nameless fast", Luo Xiaoman said with some complaints.
Zhong Lin glanced at Luo Xiaoman and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to progress so quickly, and suddenly you changed from a slaughtered mallet to a shrewd buyer!"
"That's it, I said that I was too anxious when I bought that ding, if you didn't stop me just now......" Luo Xiaoman was a little proud after being praised by Zhong Lin for two sentences.
"It's already very good, this thing may be a lump of iron for others, it's not worth a hundred yuan, but for me it's a treasure, a thousand yuan can be bought for a big leak!" Zhong Lin said excitedly.
"Zhong Lin, this is really a good thing, I thought you were eye-catching?" said Old Man Zhang.
"Grandpa Zhang, this thing should be an object from before the Qin Dynasty, and it contains very powerful mana, but I don't know how to use it now......" Zhong Lin didn't hide it, and said truthfully.
"That's great, let's go, it's still early, let's hurry to the other houses and see if we can pick up any more leaks." Hearing Zhong Lin say this, Old Man Zhang immediately became interested.
In the next time, Zhong Lin and the other three almost turned the entire antique market around, not to mention, they were actually found by Zhong Lin to find a few Five Emperor coins, and the price was not very high. In addition, Zhong Lin also picked up a big leak for Old Man Zhang, and found a peachwood sword, which was actually made of thunder splitting peachwood! Old Man Zhang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
When it gradually got dark, the three of them left the antique market, and they returned with a full load......
