7. The seventh talisman
The next afternoon, Zhou Tong was sitting in the store reading a book, his mobile phone rang, and as soon as he answered the phone, his loud voice rang clearly in Zhou Tong's ears from 108,000 miles away.
Zhou Tong helplessly twisted his brows and took the phone away from his ears, listening to the upright tangled roar.
"Xiaotong!!What should I do?!! Brother fell in love with a blue and white porcelain vase of the Ming Dynasty, the thief is good-looking!!It must be true!!You look at WeChat, I'll take a picture of the details for you!I'll help me identify it remotely!"
Zhou Tong: "......"
It happened that Zhou Tong was about to go out and had to buy something to deal with the ten-day evil, Zhou Tong said: "No need, where are you now, I'll go over immediately." ”
After being stunned for a moment, after realizing what Zhou Tong said, he asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"Not happy I'm going?"
Where's that...... Dun Zheng immediately nodded again and again: "Then you come quickly, I'm here in the old street, No. 88 Ruyi Fang." ”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tong closed the shop and went out to take a taxi, and ten minutes later, the taxi stopped at the narrow alley of the old street, and Zhou Tong got out of the car after paying.
Lao Cai is the name of the locals, in the foreign population he has a rather beautiful name - "Chaotian Street", Chaotian Street is a well-known antiquities street, on its history as long as more than 100 years, and inclusive, everything is available, real and fake, bright and dark, only you can't think of it, there is nothing you can't find.
Duan is a frequent visitor to the old street, and he loves to come here for ten days and half a month, and almost all the merchants on the street know him. Zhou Tong came for the first time, and saw that the left and right shops were very novel, and those treasures were more or less full of aura, and when he saw the appearance of those aura, he thought that the magic weapons in the shop were all poisoned by shadows, and Zhou Tong was suddenly very glad that he didn't bring the bronze halberd head here, otherwise, these treasures would have suffered.
What he didn't notice, however, was that a ray of blue light burst out of his waist and swept to both sides.
Zhou Tong easily found Ruyi Fang along the house number, and before he walked to the door of the store, he saw Duan Zheng standing there poking his head out and looking at the road, and when he saw Zhou Tong coming, he immediately twisted his fat body and ran over, hooked Zhou Tong's arm and pulled him into the house.
"Come on, Xiaotong, this is it!" he pointed excitedly to the blue and white porcelain vase on the table.
Zhou Tong smiled and said, "You urged me all the way, everyone has arrived at this time, can't I sit down and drink a glass of water?"
The upright fat face was red, and he hurriedly said in a rough voice: "Boss, please pour another cup of tea." ”
The boss answered, turned around and told the clerk to get the teacup, and he was secretly looking at Zhou Tong.
This person he saw for the first time, although he didn't dare to say that he knew several famous treasure connoisseurs in City A, but he could call them by name, but he had no impression of this person in front of him, if he said it was the apprentice of a master...... It's possible, but ...... The boss's eyes fell on Zhou Tong's handsome face, and he secretly said in his heart, this is too young, and his vision is estimated to be not up to the standards of those masters.
Thinking of this, the boss is relieved a lot, although this blue and white porcelain vase is an imitation, but the craftsmanship is very good, he almost looked away at the beginning, it is easy to deceive these two people who are stupid and have a lot of money.
A heart suddenly swallowed back into his stomach, hmph, he thought that this fat man had found some rescuers!
At this moment, an old man with a white beard but full of energy came to the store, and the boss's eyes lit up when he saw the visitor, and he hurriedly greeted him from behind the counter as if he had seen the God of Wealth, and said with a smile on his face: "Isn't this Mr. Shao?
Shao Ronghua didn't pay attention to the boss, and after looking around the store, he was not too satisfied, and his brows furrowed.
It wasn't until his eyes fell on the blue and white porcelain vase in Zhou Tong's hand that the frowning brow stretched slightly.
Shao Ronghua walked to Zhou Tong, pointed to the blue and white porcelain vase in his hand, and asked the boss: "This is the blue and white porcelain vase you just bought a few days ago?"
"Yes, yes. Shao Ronghua has a very good reputation in the old street, and he is famous for "seeing the truth at a glance", and he almost doesn't look away.
The boss was thinking about how to get the things back, but at this time, the things were all held in their hands and played, so he had no reason to recycle them, so he could only bite the bullet and watch them appreciate it.
Shao Ronghua said to Zhou Tong: "Show me." ”
Zhou Tong saw that he was an old man, so he asked him to transfer the blue and white porcelain vase to Shao Ronghua.
Attached to Zhou Tong's ear, he whispered: "This old man's name is Shao Ronghua, he is the Shao Shenyan of Lao Cai, he sees things accurately, has a big reputation, and has a big temper, and he looks at people with white eyes, don't mind." ”
Zhou Tong nodded, and there was no displeasure on his face.
Shao Ronghua sat on the sofa and looked at the blue and white porcelain vase upside down several times, the wrinkled old hand rubbed on the surface of the blue and white porcelain, the corners of his mouth hooked a smile, and finally laughed: "It's really a good thing, this character amphora porcelain vase is exquisitely made, the glaze of the bottle body is thick and delicate, and the three Shi Gongbi in the picture are delicate, which is the treasure of the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty." ”
The boss was originally silent, but when he heard Shao Ronghua's words, he immediately came back to life as if he had been stimulant, and smiled from ear to ear: "Mr. Shao has good eyesight! It is an antiquity from the Xuande period!"
It was not much different from the boss's reaction, and he immediately got up from his chair: "Sure enough, it's true! I didn't look away haha!"
Zhou Tong took a sip of tea and didn't speak, still with a faint smile on his face, dutifully being a good melon eater.
Seeing this, for fear that others would snatch the treasure, he was immediately ready to pay, Shao Ronghua was still reluctant to look at the blue and white porcelain vase, although he wanted to buy it, but he still abided by the rules of first come, first served, changed his previous cold expression, and said to Duan Zheng with a smile: "Young man, after the antiques are bought, they have to be well maintained, and they can't be wasted, you know?"
"Okay, good, I'll take care of him like my lover!Boss, how much?"
"Five hundred thousand!" said the boss heroically.
The action of taking out the money was correct, and he paused, "What? Didn't you just say 200,000?"
"It's been 500,000 all the time. The boss looked innocent, and then smiled and played a round game, "Maybe you heard it wrong, right?
This sentence poked the heart right at once, for him, 200,000 is indeed not much different from 500,000, but the taste of being slaughtered in vain is really unpleasant.
But...... It's rare that he sees it once, and it's good to buy it back as a souvenir.
Thinking of this, he continued to dig into his wallet.
"Wait. Zhou Tong's unhurried voice interrupted the action of paying the money upright, and looked back at Zhou Tong with joy on his face, "Xiaotong, what's wrong?"
"Didn't I close the door of the store and come all the way here to help you identify the treasure, why didn't I even have a chance to take a look?" Zhou Tong smiled softly, and his tone was a little complaining.
The current impression of Zhou Tong is still in the stage when Zhou Tong is tired as soon as he goes to the old street, he can't help but think of this, and he hurriedly said: "I'm really sorry, I ......"
"I felt sorry, so I showed it to me before deciding whether to buy it or not. Although Zhou Tong was in a consultative tone, he couldn't refuse, and when he heard the words, he gave the blue and white porcelain vase to Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and it didn't take long for him to return it, but it was still returned directly to the store owner, "I'm sorry, we won't buy it." ”
He said to the upright, "Let's go." ”
Straightened up in the clouds, looked at Zhou Tong and then looked at the blue and white porcelain vase with a confused face, I didn't understand it, how could I not buy it!
Duanzheng hurriedly chased after Zhou Tong and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Fake. Zhou Tong said.
"Huh?" he slipped and almost fell.
"Fake?" Shao Ronghua asked, he stopped Zhou Tong and asked sternly: "Young man, you said this blue and white porcelain vase is fake?!"
"Hmm. Zhou Tong stopped, turned back to Shao Ronghua and said, "The old gentleman may be old, some of the most basic things will be forgotten, the blue and white porcelain in the Xuande period is written a lot, and the gary, the inner bottom of the vessel, and the center of the vessel often have a sense of style, known as the saying of 'Xuande year is all over the body'." ”
Shao Ronghua was shocked when he heard this, and after rummaging for a long time on the blue and white porcelain vase, he only found two written paragraphs, and then looked at the glaze carefully, and his head suddenly buzzed.
A famous person, actually placed on a small blue and white porcelain vase? Or was it picked by a young man in his early twenties, what a shame on the old face!
Shao Ronghua was annoyed and ashamed, and immediately glared at the shopkeeper fiercely.
The shopkeeper wailed, and immediately understood that he had offended Shao Ronghua, and the future business would not be good!
With a straight face, he obviously suffered a lot of blows, sighing all the way, Zhou Tong smiled and comforted: "It's not once or twice that you look away, and every time you are so depressed, your ability to resist pressure is not long." ”
Correctness: "......"
said aggrievedly: "Xiaotong, you still stab me in the wound!!What about the friendship of more than ten years?!!
"Heh......" Zhou Tong smiled softly, the afterglow of the evening hit his face, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, the corners of his lips hooked, "It's almost six o'clock, it's almost time." ”
Correct: "??? something, are you going back?"
"There's no hurry. Zhou Tong said, he looked at the phone screen.
The moment the time jumped to six o'clock, he received a phone call, and a string of unfamiliar numbers belonging to the local area lit up on the mobile phone screen.
Pondering uprightly: Who is this?
