Breaking glasses and smashing abacus is a ritual for the "palm-eyed man" to declare that he has "miscalculated", and only when he is discouraged by extreme defeat will anyone do so.

Doing this kind of thing is tantamount to announcing to everyone that he no longer has the qualifications to be a "palm-eyed person", which can be said to be a disguised retirement.

Zheng Bei asked Zheng Zheng to do this, just to make him make a good fool of himself in front of everyone in the antique street of the Western Capital City and discredit him.

And he asked Zheng Zheng to continue to be in charge of the plate in Donglai Pavilion after that, which made it even more vicious. Breaking glasses and smashing the abacus in public can already be regarded as a dismal ending, and continuing to be in charge of the plate after this is tantamount to a living joke, and in the future, Zheng Zheng will stay in the Donglai Pavilion for a day, and others will be able to make fun of him for a day.

Zheng Bei's move is to force Zheng Zheng to a dead end.

"Zheng Bei, I know what this matter is going on, but now that this is the case, I have nothing to say. Zheng Zheng's teeth creaked, he looked at Zheng Bei, and said word by word: "I ......"

"Is Shopkeeper Zheng there?"

Before Zheng Zheng's words were finished, a middle-aged man walked into the Donglai Pavilion while talking, interrupting his words.

Zheng Zheng glanced at the middle-aged man with a long box, even if he was angry, Zheng Zheng could suppress his temperament. He asked in a calm voice, "What do you want?"

The middle-aged man smiled at Zheng Zheng, and said with a smile while opening the long box in his hand: "I'm not here to buy things, I'm here to sell things to Zheng Shopkeeper for you." ”

The long box opened, and inside was a scroll of paintings. The middle-aged man took it out and slowly unfolded it in front of the three of them.

Zheng Zheng didn't care about this painting at all, but after taking a look, Zheng Zheng couldn't help but exclaim, "...... is this?"

"Qingming Riverside Map?!"

As one of the most imitated handicrafts of the picture scroll "Qingming Riverside Picture" Zheng Zheng has seen countless times, although those are copied handicrafts, but also the original is not much different, so Zheng Zheng immediately recognized the unfolded picture scroll, this is a "Qingming Riverside Map".

If Zheng Zheng Zheng saw "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" on the street, he would definitely not be surprised, but now this middle-aged man dares to bring this "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" to sell in antique stores, then this "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" must have its value.

Although he knew that this "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" was basically impossible to be genuine, looking at the middle-aged man's serious face, Zheng Zheng still had some expectations in his heart. If this painting is a copy of an ancient master, it is also valuable.

"Yes, this is a picture of the Qingming River, and the shopkeeper Zheng has good eyesight. ”

The middle-aged man patted Zheng Zheng lightly, unfolded the scroll in his hand on the counter, and then said with a smile: "This painting has not been in my hands for a short time, but I have not found a suitable buyer. Others don't know the goods, and Zheng's shopkeeper should be able to see the value of this painting. ”

Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Zheng Zheng couldn't figure it out in his heart. He was puzzled: "Since it is "Qingming Riverside Picture", then how can there be no people who know the goods? Even if this is a copy of a famous master's work, as long as it can be confirmed, someone will buy it, listen to what you mean......

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, pointed to the "Qingming Riverside Map" placed on the counter and said: "Although this is the "Qingming Riverside Picture", this is a little different, and you can see it if you take a closer look at the shopkeeper Zheng. ”

"This ......"

Zheng Zheng didn't look at the scroll, but looked at Zheng Bei and Wang Zhao, and hesitated. It stands to reason that it is indeed necessary to solve the matter of Wang Zhao first, but since Zheng Zheng is the head of Donglai Pavilion, there is no reason to push the business out, which is inconsistent with his duty.

Zheng Zheng hesitated for a moment, and said to Wang Zhao: "Let me do this business first, your business is ......" Zheng Zheng glanced at Zheng Bei, who was sneering on the side, and then said to Wang Zhao, who was only looking at the jade bracelet in his hand: "...... There will be a result today. ”

"Just let you take two more breaths, and it is estimated that no one will come to you to sell antiques in the future, and it will also let you live the last addiction. Zheng Bei on the side sneered.

The middle-aged man looked at Zheng Bei and Zheng Zheng, and couldn't figure out what was going on, but he was also smart, just smiling on the side and not getting involved.

Seeing that Wang Zhao did not object to Zheng Zheng, he put his mind at ease, he nodded and smiled at the middle-aged man, and turned to look at the "Qingming Riverside Map" spread out on the counter.

After taking a few closer looks, Zheng Zheng muttered in his heart. He looked at the painting, and then at the middle-aged man who was seriously waiting for him to inspect the painting, and for a moment felt that the current situation was absurd and abnormal.

After a few more glances, Zheng Zheng finally couldn't help it, he looked at the middle-aged man carefully, and after making sure that the middle-aged man was not mentally ill, Zheng Zheng coughed dryly twice, barely squeezed out a smile and said to the middle-aged man: "Your painting...... Have you seen it yourself? This "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" is really a little too different......"

The middle-aged man obviously knew Zheng Zheng's reaction for a long time, he nodded confidently, and said: "I have seen this painting countless times, I know what you are talking about, yes, this is the difference between this painting and other "Qingming Riverside Pictures", you just look at it and estimate it." ”

"This ...... All right. ”

Zheng Zheng shook his head helplessly, turned around and continued to look at the "Qingming Riverside Map" on the counter, and shook his head secretly in his heart: "It's really unlucky today, it's not enough to come to find trouble, and there is such a fault finder, it seems that I am really not suitable to open the door to do business today......"

I can't blame Zheng Zheng for thinking so, just because this painting is really ...... It's so insincere!

"It's too insincere to be a cheater now!"

Zheng Zheng looked at the "Qingming Riverside Picture" in front of him, and shouted silently in his heart: "Since you want to get a fake painting to make money, then you might as well do it like that?

He looked at the "Qingming Riverside Map" in front of him again, and shook his head secretly in his heart: "But...... What do you mean by painting this thing on this painting?! Is there such a thing in this era? Is this going to be a time-traveling drama or what? Is this unclear who is going to buy it?"
