Chapter 51: The Strange Stove

When Ye Xiaochi and Zuo Yucheng arrived at the store, Dong Qing was not idle, and two middle-aged men came looking at a few blue and white jars.

Zuo Yucheng had something to leave and didn't eat. Instead, he put the bronze he had fiddled with in the morning on the table in the inner room, took out a camera, and took several consecutive photos of the bronze from all angles, and then took a few close-ups of the details. It wasn't until I ran out of a roll of film that I stopped, took the film out of the camera and left.

Before leaving, he told Ye Xiaochi: "After Dong Qing finishes talking about things in a while, you can talk to him and ask him to put away this Boshan furnace." It's too late for me here, so I've got to go. ”

With that, he took the film into his backpack, didn't eat, and left in a hurry. Ye Xiaochi knew that it was because his cousin came to visit, and as soon as he delayed, he squeezed out his time to eat.

She was the only one left in the room, and Ye Xiaochi looked at the things he left on the table, and he couldn't tell what it was, and the whole thing was covered with green rust. The bottom looks like a pot, but the shape on the top is very peculiar.

The main body of the upper openwork is mountain-shaped, and it is also surrounded by clouds and phoenixes, and she can't tell what it is. It's just that there are cracks in some places, and there are also places that seem to be corroded, and the overall appearance is not very good. She didn't know what this thing was doing after looking at it for a long time, but she remembered that Zuo Yucheng said that this was a Boshan furnace just now. As for what he did for the photos, she didn't know.

She couldn't understand it, so she stopped looking at the artifact, and observed Dong Qing talking to the two customers through the bead curtain.

"Your jar is okay, it's just this hair color, you see, the middle is not bad, but on the side, this place is a little gray, and the overall look is not too good. ”

In front of the two customers, there were three small blue and white jars of the same size, the same style, and different patterns, and a man was taking one in his hand and looking at it carefully.

"Yes, you're right, the hair color is really not good here. Brother Hu, you are an old customer and a master, so you should know that I gave you a real price, right?"

The man didn't deny Dong Qing's words, and his companion picked up another one and looked at it, "If we go to the countryside to collect this goods ourselves, we may take it down in a hundred." Xiao Dong, if you want to buy three at a time, the price is still a little higher. How about giving you seven hundred?"

Dong Qing still said patiently: "Now there are fewer and fewer things in the countryside, and it is not easy to collect. I'll give you both of you at this price, regardless of whether you keep it or change hands, it's definitely a good deal. You also know that I'm not in a hurry to make a move, that is, I know you, and I will definitely not give you this price for another person. ”

The two of them are not annoyed, bargaining is fun. Hearing Dong Qing say this, he also knew that what he said was the truth. If you go shopping by yourself, you have to look at chance.

This road didn't work, and someone changed his angle and chatted with Dong Qing: "What you said is the same, I remember that an acquaintance mentioned it to me last year, saying that on your side, there are hundreds of such cans, and this thing is not scarce, whether I collect it myself or sell it, the premium is really limited." ”

"That was a few years ago, but now it's different, now there are more and more people playing and collecting, and this batch of larger goods and better quality are almost sold. There's really not much left. If you hesitate here, maybe you will come back one day, and these few will be gone. ”

Dong Qing actually said the truth, but the other party has patronized him many times, and he has to give way to the two of them, which is considered to give face to the two of them, so he continued: "Brother Hu, Brother Li, we are so familiar, we are like friends, and if you can let me, let me try to let you." ”

Dong Qing's face was full of sincerity, and he began to turn around: "But such a big business on my side also costs money, right, in this way, I will let you give three cans, a fixed price, nine hundred to you, will it be successful?"

When the two of them talked about this, they also knew that it was useless to talk any further, so one of them nodded: "Okay, just nine hundred, put it up for me." ”

They all know that these cans are ordinary civilian cans in the late Qing Dynasty, which are not worth too much money, and there is no problem with the capital chain of this store. took the small jar that Dong Qing packed in a cardboard box, hugged it and went out, and it was possible to continue shopping for goods.

After sending the two away, Dong Qing washed his hands and saw Ye Xiaochi serving him rice. told her: "Those two people just now are old customers, and they are experts in collecting, and it is not easy to play with them." It's not a lot of money. ”

Dong Qing originally wanted to keep a little distance from Ye Xiaochi, after all, this girl was here to be his apprentice, if he was too easy-going, he was afraid that he would not be able to control her. This line of work must be rigorous, and a hippie smile is definitely not okay.

Fortunately, so far, this girl has behaved quite measuredly. Let's take a look.

At this time, he heard Ye Xiaochi say: "Well, I heard it, Brother Dong is eloquent. ”

Dong Qing picked up the chopsticks: "What kind of eloquence is that, there are many people who can speak well in this business, if you can't speak a saw-mouthed gourd, can you do it? Just look at it, some customers are quite knowledgeable, if you know too little about this business, you can't speak, you can make people stunned. As for the scammers, there will be no less, you can learn slowly. ”

Ye Xiaochi knew that Dong Qing was willing to accept her, so he would tell her so much. He didn't have that attitude when she first arrived in the morning.

Dong Qing was also hungry, so he signaled Ye Xiaochi not to be polite, so he grabbed a few chopsticks and vegetables and began to rake rice.

I can't stop eating, although the seasoning is simple, but when she stir-fries, she stimulates the original taste of the dish, and when she eats, she only feels full of flavor. Before you know it, a bowl of rice is over.

When it was time to finish eating, Dong Qing regretted it a little. When Ye Xiaochi went to cook at noon, he shouldn't have told her that he would only cook for two days. That also means that if you eat another meal at noon tomorrow, you won't be able to eat the food cooked by Ye Xiaochi. But when this is said, it cannot be taken back.

The aunt who cooked for them was very nice and clean, but she was from the north, and the climate was dry and cold when she was a child, and she was older. That's why she prefers to make hot and soft stews. Except for counting nine cold days, Dong Qing really doesn't like to eat that bite.

It's not impossible to let her cook stir-frying, but when she compares her stir-fry with Ye Xiaochi, the gap comes out. And Dong Qing is a food-loving ......

Over there, Ye Xiaochi had already put away all the tableware, and then watched Dong Qing find a cardboard box, put on a soft cloth, and prepare to put the Boshan stove in.

"Do you know what this thing is for?"

Ye Xiaochi shook his head, he only knew the name, and he couldn't search for it on the Internet, and he didn't have time to look up the information now, so he really didn't know what it was. It sounds like a stove, but what kind of furnace is it?

I've heard of Xuande furnace, I've heard of charcoal basins and hand stoves, but there is a gap with this.
