Chapter 62: Here Comes the Storyteller
"Well, definitely go. Zuo Yucheng agreed.
After the sixth master and they all left, Dong Qing said: "Chengzi, I bet that the one surnamed Li must have been introduced to the sixth master by your second uncle." Do you think he will be able to stuff people with us in the future?"
"It doesn't make a difference if it's stuffed or not. If we want to hire someone, we won't find it ourselves?
What Qu Xiaowu said made Ye Xiaochi hear that the relationship between Second Uncle Zuo and Zuo Yucheng was very poor, and Zuo Yucheng didn't say anything about it.
After saying this, Dong Qing looked at Qu Xiaowu, who was dressed in formal clothes, and said, "Wu Zi, do you really want to go on a blind date?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise why am I wearing this?"
"What's the matter, you're only twenty-three years old, and you're lonely/can't sleep? Makoko isn't in a hurry, see you're in a hurry?"
Zuo Yucheng listened, glanced at Dong Qing, and just spoke, what are you doing with him? Dong Qing also received the signal that the boss was unhappy, laughed twice, and stopped mentioning Zuo Yucheng.
Qu Xiaowu kicked him: "What are you talking about? Who is lonely/sleepless? It's you talking about yourself." Xiao Ye is still here, don't talk nonsense. ”
Ye Xiaochi pretended not to hear it, the children's paper that has been baptized by the modern information explosion is just pediatrics.
"Then you still attach so much importance to it? Look, you also deliberately make a fool of yourself. "Dong Qing is probably usually alone in the store, quite boring, and he doesn't dare to make Zuo Yucheng's jokes, seeing Qu Xiaowu, he can be regarded as looking for a object.
"That's not what I said, my mother said it, dressing too casually and showing that she didn't respect the woman enough. I think Lao Dong you just know too little, so you're 26 years old, and you haven't solved yourself yet......"
Ye Xiaochi listened to the two of them losing each other, and did not intend to participate in their topic, she was going to go upstairs to see how the bronze mirror was now.
Zuo Yucheng asked her, "How did you read the information that you were asked to read in the morning?"
"I've read it all. ”
Zuo Yucheng listened, turned around and went upstairs, and motioned for Ye Xiaochi to follow. At this time, Qu Xiaowu stopped messing with Dong Qing, and walked out in that dress.
When he walked to the corner of the stairs, Zuo Yucheng suddenly asked Ye Xiaochi, "How did you see that the bottom of the bowl was wrong just now?"
"Brother Dong mentioned it to me, and if you go to see it on purpose, you can see it. ”
"Come in. Zuo Yucheng felt that her novice eyes were too good.
After the two of them entered, they looked at the bronze mirror soaked in the Filin solution, and there was still a lot of green rust on it, which could not be removed so quickly.
After reading it, he told Ye Xiaochi: "After you finish reading the book, the operation in the back will be easier." This bubble again, if I don't come over tomorrow, you can take it out yourself and dispense the bubble again. You should know how to match it, right?"
"Well, I see. Ye Xiaochi knew that Zuo Yucheng would go out later, so he didn't have so much time to gossip.
"That's good, soak it again, it should reveal a layer of black lacquer inside, very beautiful. Unfortunately, after soaking, many patterns on the mirror will be covered by a thin layer of cuprous oxide, which is red and must be removed. To put it simply, use a dropper to drop dilute nitric acid upwards, wait for a bunch of bubbles, and then rinse with pure water......"
Zuo Yucheng explained the operation process in detail again, and then asked Ye Xiaochi to pager him if he had any questions at that time. Then he left her a pager number and hurried away.
Zuo Yucheng walked for a while, and a woman in her fifties came downstairs, and she was temporarily fine upstairs, so Ye Xiaochi walked down.
It had been cloudy outside since the afternoon, and by this time it was already drizzling, and it was a little dark inside the house. When the woman came in, her hair and body were a little damp, presumably wet from the rain.
Her face was covered with the marks left by the years, and her expression was a little panicked, and the canvas bag she was carrying on her shoulders was held in her arms. On his feet, he was wearing white lace-up black cloth shoes, and the edges of the shoes were a little hairy, and he didn't look like he had come to buy antiques.
Dong Qing had already put away the expression of giggling when he was playing with Qu Xiaowu, looked at the woman calmly, and waited for her to speak.
"You guys, do you accept antiques?" The woman looked around the furnishings and utensils in the store crampedly, as if she had mustered up enough courage to speak to Dong Qing.
"Collect it, just take it when it's good. What, do you have the goods?"
The woman looked uneasy, still hugged her bag tightly, and asked Dong Qing, "You can't lie to people, right?"
Dong Qing said with a smile: "How come? We have such a big store here, and we can't run." If you have something, take it out and look at it, and if you are not satisfied with the price, you can go to another house to see it. ”
The woman seemed to be moved by Dong Qing's amiable attitude, and finally took off her guard, opened her bag, and took out something she was holding with a newspaper. I don't know how many layers she wrapped, Ye Xiaochi watched her dismantle layer by layer, and when a light green plate was revealed inside, there was already a pile of old newspapers next to the counter.
"Oh, it's a chrysanthemum plate?" Dong Qing said after a glance.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the word, which has been handed down by my man's ancestors. He told me that his grandfather had an uncle who was in the Qing Palace, that, by the way, called a eunuch. I brought back such a plate for the family, and said that it was made by Emperor Yong, and it was called a chrysanthemum plate. ”
"Oh, why don't you keep it, why do you sell it?" Dong Qing asked as she spoke.
Hearing his words, the woman looked like she was about to cry and said, "Isn't this a dead end? Everything that could be sold at home was sold. My relatives have also borrowed it, and now my relatives hide from me when they see me. I can't help it, I know that this thing is valuable, and I took it out and sold it behind my man's back. ”
"Oh, it's not easy, I'll see if you're okay with this plate?" Dong Qing seemed to be sympathetic to this woman's plight.
"Yes, of course, you see. Hey, be careful, don't break it. The woman watched Dong Qing pick up the plate and instructed uneasily.
"No, don't worry. Dong Qing took it and looked at it carefully for a while, while the woman stared at Dong Qing's expression.
"Oh, you're pretty good at making this plate. Let her take a look at it too, okay?" Dong Qing pointed at Ye Xiaochi and asked the woman.
Hearing Dong Qing say this, the woman didn't know what he meant, but his expression was quite solemn, was it really interesting to this plate?
"Okay, she can take a look. ”
Ye Xiaochi picked up the plate according to Dong Qing's meaning, he didn't feel anything, and after his hand touched it, there was only a slightly cool and hard touch, nothing more.
Dong Qing saw that she had finished reading it, so he asked the woman: "This plate is really good, how much do you want?"
"Two, twenty thousand, I heard the old man say that this kind of plate was only made by the emperor back then, and there are no more, and there should be fewer now. In the end, it is something used by the emperor, and I can't sell it without it, otherwise my man will beat me to death. ”
After the woman finished speaking, she looked at Dong Qing and waited for him to reply.
Dong Qing smiled and stretched out a finger. The woman's heart beat wildly and said, "One, ten thousand, is this too little? ”
Dong Qing shook his head, "It's not 10,000, it's 10 yuan, it's not worth the price." Ye Xiaochi listened to it and put her mind at ease, she also felt that Dong Qing would not fail to see that this thing was fake.
"What are you talking about?" the woman's eyes immediately became fierce, and all the timidity and crampedness she had just had disappeared. "Didn't you just say that this plate is good, and you want to cheat money, right?" she said, and began to wrap the plate in newspaper.
Dong Qing said with a smile: "That's right, the workmanship of this plate is good, it's just a little younger, and it's made in the past two years." ”
How young is Dong Qing? Dong Qing is quite humorous.
The woman knew at this time that she had let Dong Qing play tricks, and she felt that she had been talking hard for a long time, this kid was watching a play. But I couldn't, so I rolled my eyes and wrapped the plate and left the store.
