Antique Street in the Western Capital City.

It's noon, the sky is a little gloomy, and there are no customers to buy anything, Zheng Zheng is dozing off on the edge of the counter half-asleep.

Zheng Zheng is just in his twenties, but he has been working in this antique shop for two years.

There was a bronze balance in his hand, which Zheng Zheng had just received from a door-to-door customer two days ago. This balance looks antique, but it is also a good ornament.

"The boss isn't there?"

Just as Zheng Zheng was half-asleep, the door of the antique shop was pushed open, and an old man walked in, holding a schoolbag in his hand, and he didn't know what was inside.

"This old brother, what do you want to buy?" Zheng Zheng woke up with a spirit, stood up with a smile and handed over a cigarette. This old man is not particularly glamorous, but Zheng Zheng does not mean to despise it at all, a rural old man may be able to come up with a good product.

"I'm from the countryside, I'm in the city today, I'll take an old thing by the way, let the shopkeeper show it." The old man took the cigarette and lit it, smiled at Zheng Zheng and said.

"Okay, old man, let me have long eyes. Zheng Zheng said with a smile.

The old man nodded, took out a newspaper package from the bag, and put it on the counter.

The package was about the size of a bowl, and I don't know what it contained.

Zheng Zheng exhaled, cheered up, and carefully opened the package. However, Zheng Zheng felt that something was wrong when he opened the package, because when the package was gradually unwrapped by him, the things wrapped inside actually changed shape.

"Could it be a handful of beads?" Zheng Zheng thought to himself, and the action of opening the package was a few points lighter.

The last layer of newspaper was opened, and Zheng Zheng finally saw what was wrapped in the package.

The package contained nothing but a pile of blue and white porcelain fragments, the largest of which was two fingers wide and one or two inches long, and the smaller one was only the size of a fingernail.

"Brother...... You ......" Zheng Zheng's heart sank, and he estimated that the old man didn't pack up when he came with things, and he walked over all the way, breaking the porcelain bumps.

Seeing that Zheng Zheng's expression was a little weird, the old man smiled and said, "When I brought it, it was broken." It was handed down from the family, and it was broken in my grandfather's generation, but the fragments were all handed down at all. Take it over and let the little shopkeeper show you how much else this is worth. ”

"Okay, I'll show you. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Zheng Zheng also put his mind at ease. No matter how good the porcelain is, as long as it is a little broken, the price has to be discounted, and the price is lower if it is broken, and even if it is recovered, there is not much profit margin. But being idle is also idle, anyway, it will be fine, Zheng Zheng is also happy to give this old man an appraisal.

Zheng Zheng took the high-brightness table lamp on the table, and then took out a box from under the counter, which contained some tweezers, gloves, magnifying glasses and other tools, which were indispensable when identifying antiques.

Turning on the lamp, Zheng Zheng spread a cushion on the table, picked up a piece of fragments for a while, selected a fragment about the size of half a finger, and placed it under the lamp to observe carefully. The other pieces were badly worn, and too small to be identified.

Time passed minute by minute, Zheng Zheng looked at the fragment over and over under the lamp, but did not say a word.

"Little shopkeeper, what's going on?" The old man waited for about five or six minutes, and saw that Zheng Zheng was just looking at a few larger fragments over and over again, but he didn't speak. The old man couldn't bear it a little impatiently, and couldn't help but ask Zheng Zheng.

"It's a real thing, and it's a good thing. ”

Hearing the old man urging him, Zheng Zheng came to his senses, gently put down the fragment in his hand, and nodded to the old man.

"How much is it worth?" Seeing that Zheng Zheng said it was a good thing, the old man was also very happy, and immediately wanted to know a specific price.

"Something is good, but that's when it's intact. Zheng Zheng shook his head, pointed to the fragments on the cushion and said, "If I am not mistaken, these fragments should be fragments of blue and white porcelain porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty." It's hard to say which one it is, because there are too many pieces at hand, and you have to wait until you finish the spelling to have an approximate result. However, the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty has a minimum of more than 100,000 yuan, and the boutique will be more valuable. ”

Zheng Zheng didn't say this thoroughly, if he said it seriously, the lowest price of blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty could also break the 500,000 mark, and it was not uncommon for millions of fine products to be tens of millions. But this can't be said to this old man, because what people bring is fragments, and how much the whole thing is worth is no different from stabbing someone's knife.

"That'...... Then this is worth ......" The old man's face was not very good-looking, although Zheng Zheng still took care of it when he spoke, but this sense of disparity still made the old man unacceptable.

Zheng Zheng looked at the old man's face and sighed in his heart, but he couldn't hide it, he shook his head and said, "Old man, I see that this thing is also handed down by your ancestors, so it's better to continue to pass it on at home." ”

"No, I just want to know the price today, just tell me a clever word, little shopkeeper. The old man gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, his expression was extremely stubborn, it seemed that he had to break the casserole today and ask to the end.

Zheng Zheng sighed, since this old man insisted, he couldn't help it: "The highest is five hundred yuan, and it will be difficult to do more." ”

"What?!"

The old man glared in disbelief, and he looked like he was talking to Zheng Zheng well: "Little shopkeeper, I know that you businessmen want money, but your price is too much, right, hundreds of thousands of things are only worth 500 yuan because they are broken...... Little shopkeeper, although I don't understand this, but you're a little too ruthless, aren't you? How much, how much, even if it's a thousand......"

In the end, the old man also looked a little lacking in confidence, since this object was broken, the price naturally had to be discounted, and he was a little weak in what he said.

"It's really not possible, brother, listen to me. ”

Accompanying Xiao to soothe the old man, Zheng Zheng handed over a cigarette, watched the old man smoke it angrily, and then he said unhurriedly: "Although this is Yuan blue and white porcelain," Zheng Zheng picked out the largest piece from the pile of fragments and said: "But the largest piece is so big, and the useful ones are these larger fragments, which can be placed in the store for display, and whether they can be sold or not are two words." ”

Seeing that the old man still didn't believe it, Zheng Zheng knew that this old man was stubborn and not easy to persuade, so he shook his head and said: "I am sincere and honest, brother, you have penetrated this bottom, the highest price of five hundred yuan." If you believe me, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. If you don't believe me, then I can't help it. ”

Zheng Zheng didn't pit him, there were only three or two fragments of the valuable ones in this pile of fragments, and it was judged that this was a Yuan blue and white porcelain vase, and it all relied on these slightly larger fragments. If you buy these pieces, you can only find some relatively large ones from these pieces and put them on a shelf. Although it is a fragment, it is also a fragment of Yuan blue and white porcelain, and the scene is similar when placed in the store.

"Okay. ”

The old man threw away the cigarette butt, crushed it with his foot, and then said, "Five hundred dollars is five hundred dollars, it's better than nothing." ”

Seeing that the old man nodded, Zheng Zheng took out five hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to the old man.

After clearing the money and goods, the old man complained to Zheng Zheng again, and then turned around and prepared to leave Donglai Pavilion.

"Mr. Zheng, it looks like you're opening the market, have you received any good things, or have you finally sold the tatters in your store?"

Before the old man could reach the door, a young man in a suit and leather shoes pushed open the door and walked in, and before Zheng Zheng could speak, the young man shouted loudly. Although he said this politely, his tone was very wrong, revealing a taste of disdain and sarcasm, which was simply a master-level yin and yang weirdness.

The old man was shrewd enough, seeing that the young man and Zheng Zheng didn't look like they were dealing with each other very well, he didn't get involved in this matter at all, and after saying hello to Zheng Zheng, he left Donglai Pavilion by himself.

Seeing this young man come in, Zheng Zheng's face suddenly became extremely bad. He sneered twice, put on a cigarette, squinted his eyes and said, "Young Master Zhengbei Zheng, I can't stand you calling me that." You know that I'm the kind of person I hate the most, the kind of villain with a honey-bellied sword. ”

"Also," Zheng Zheng flicked the ashes of his cigarette and snorted coldly, "What did I collect that has anything to do with you?"

"You deserve it, you definitely deserve it. Although this branch of your family is just a side line in the family, it is also a member of our Zheng family, and you can definitely stand it if you call you Zheng Dashao. Zheng Bei helped his rimless glasses, responded with a gun and a stick, and although he called Zheng Dashao in his mouth, anyone could see the disdain.

I said...... Zheng Bei. Zheng Zheng threw the lighter in his hand and landed right in the weighing pan of the bronze balance, making a very crisp sound.

He raised his head, squinted at Zheng Bei in a suit and leather shoes, and said in a low tone: "If you have something, just say it, if there is nothing to do, the door is behind you, you shouldn't be the kind of brainless imbecile who can't open the door himself, and has to let me open the door for you, right?"

"You ......" The corners of Zheng Bei's eyes twitched a few times, but when his eyes swept over the pile of pieces on the counter that Zheng Zheng hadn't had time to put away, he turned from anger to laughter.

"This pile of debris...... Hehe, that's kind of interesting. Zheng Zheng, do you also have a time when you look away?"

Zheng Bei walked to the counter, fiddled with the pile of debris for a while, and then looked at Zheng Zheng with a gloating expression: "Come, tell me, how much money do you receive? ”

"I don't have much of this kind of thing, so I don't need Zheng Bei Zheng Da Shao to worry about me. Zheng Zheng said coldly.

"Don't, don't say that. Zheng Bei laughed, looking extremely proud: "You are a side branch of my Zheng family, although not many people know about this matter, but this is also a real thing." If you lose your eyes, it will also damage the image of our Zheng family. ”

"Tell me how much money you paid. Zheng Bei took out his wallet from his arms and said: "If you hadn't wronged home, I would have been able to buy this thing, and I would have been able to take care of your face, and wouldn't let outsiders say that the children of our Zheng family had mistaken the antiques." ”
