Chapter 55: Selling Bottles
"Brother Yuanchao, why are you tossing and turning, and you can't sleep?" the landmine patted Li Yuanchaodao.
"I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten until last night, and my hungry stomach is hot. Li Yuanchao simply got up.
Zhong Yuemin was woken up, "Now that I know that I am hungry, where is the strength to throw the nest head during the day?"
"I can't wait to put the two nests in my mouth now, and I feel distressed when I think about it. Li Yuanchao's face was full of remorse.
Zhong Yuemin was amused by him.
The mine was also a little unable to hold back, and said forcibly: "Brother Yuanchao, I put away your nest head for you during the day, can you eat?"
"Take the word out, take it out, I'm dying of hunger!" Li Yuanchao couldn't wait to snatch the head of the nest by himself.
Landmine took out the dry head of the nest from his coat pocket, which was also stained with straw, and one of them was bitten by Li Yuanchao.
Li Yuanchao took it over, didn't pay attention to anything, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Don't chew, just swallow slowly. Mine hurriedly instructed.
"Uh-huh. Li Yuanchao didn't care about saying too much, and concentrated on dealing with the nest.
Zhong Yuemin saw that Li Yuanchao was happy to eat, and said happily: "Yuanchao, how does Wotou taste?"
"It's so unpalatable, but I'm really hungry!" Li Yuanchao swallowed the last bite of his head and breathed a big sigh of relief.
"I used to eat Lao Mo every day, and Xinqiao didn't expect this day, right?" Zhong Yuemin joked.
Li Yuanchao said: "I really didn't expect that one day I would be so happy because I ate a nest." ”
"Brother Yuanchao, I'll get used to staying for two more days, I now think about waiting for me to go out every day, I'm going to the Xinqiao Hotel to order a big table full of delicious food, and eat for three days!" said Landmine comfortingly.
"Cheng, wait out, I'll invite you!" Li Yuanchao said with a smile.
"Hey, Brother Yuanchao, when will you be able to get out?" asked Landmine.
"I don't know, it stands to reason that I should have received the news at home, why hasn't there been any movement yet?" Li Yuanchao was also a little puzzled, even if his father didn't want to take care of it, his mother should be in a hurry.
Lei said: "You are in a hurry, this is only a day's work, and it is estimated that there will be news tomorrow." ”
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the prison guard knocked on the prison door, "Li Yuanchao, someone has sent something." ”
Li Yuanchao jumped up like a spring and ran to the door, "What did you send?"
"Clothes and toiletries. Then. The guards shoved him through the small hole in the door.
"Didn't you send anything to eat?"
"You kid really ask for a lot, take it, our boss asked me to give you more food. ”
Li Yuanchao was overjoyed, and when he saw it, "Why are there only two steamed buns?"
"Don't take it back!"
"Yes!" Li Yuanchao put the steamed bun into his arms.
The prison guard smiled: "It's good to have two white-flour steamed buns, if it weren't for some relationship in your family, you kid could only gnaw on the nest." ”
"Brother Yuanchao, have you eaten?" asked Landmine with a blank eye.
"Just two steamed buns. I thought I could get a roast duck or something!"
"Roast duck, you just think about it, it's good to have steamed buns, you are not allowed to bring in outside food, it is estimated that the prison guard took it from his canteen. "Landmines are very experienced.
Zhong Yuemin also said with bad intentions: "You said roast duck, my saliva is about to come out, what do you say?"
"Okay, okay, just two steamed buns, you can divide it. Li Yuanchao looked at Zhong Yuemin's virtue and knew that he couldn't eat alone, so he said.
Lei took the steamed bun, handed one to Zhong Yuemin, tore half of it and put it in his mouth, "Finally eat something without sand, it's so delicious, it's so sweet." ”
Zhong Yuemin gave half of it to Zhou Changli, and the two of them buried their heads in gnawing, "It's really happy, it's just a little less." ”
Li Yuanchao saw that Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Changli looked at the half of the steamed buns in their hands like wolves, and hurriedly stuffed them into their mouths, "Just half, don't try to rob me." ”
Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Changli looked at each other and laughed.
"Hey, did you bring the household registration book? If you don't bring it, the entrusting bank won't accept the bottle for a while!" Zheng Tong asked Yuan Jun.
Yuan Jun said impatiently: "Bring it, how many times have you said it, can I not bring it?"
"Am I not worried?"
"No, do you have a score in your heart? What do people say when they ask in a while?"
"Don't worry, haven't you ever eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run?
The pawnshops and antique shops in the old society were all public-private partnerships, and some of the shopkeepers and men in them also became employees of state-run commission houses.
In the past, there were people who bought and sold antiques privately, but since the four old ones were broken, some of the objects in many people's homes have been thrown away, let alone bought with money.
The things that entered the commission bank couldn't be sold at a high price, not to mention that people had to figure out the ins and outs of the things, so when Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun went in, there was not even a person in the commission bank, and a few female salesmen were still chatting about family life.
Zheng Tong's father is particularly obsessed with porcelain, Zheng Tong also knows some ways when he hears and sees it, so he directly found an old man: "Master, if you have something, you can take a look." ”
"Young man, what are you going to do?" The old man was reading the newspaper, but after listening to Zheng Tong's opening remarks, he came to the spirit, which is an understanding.
"Look at the family's ancestral bottle!"
The old man carefully took the bottle with both hands, rested it on the table, and took a magnifying glass to look at it carefully.
After a long time, the old man didn't even speak, and Yuan Jun couldn't help but say: "Hey, the bottles let you see the flowers, whether you can accept them or not." ”
"The bottle is the official kiln of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty for five years, and the thing is good, I took it. The old man put down his magnifying glass and said.
Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong were overjoyed, the entrusting bank could collect the best, and they really couldn't find any other place to make a move.
"Make a bid. Zheng Tong asked.
"There are too many things in the Ming Dynasty, and there are not many people who want them now, so I can't sell them for a price, so I took fifty. The old man seemed to have made a great deal of determination.
Zheng Tong pressed down Yuan Jun, who was grinning happily, and scolded: "Old man, we really want to eat! Your drumming profession is an ancestral heirloom, right?" (quote)
"Yo, young people don't know how to play drums, where did you know?" the old man wondered.
Zheng Tong joked: "My ancestors have been running pawnshops for generations, or how can I feel kissed when I see you, my grandfather used to talk in his dreams like this, a torn leather jacket, bare board and hairless." Don't say it, my grandfather is so sick, there is nothing good in his eyes, you just brought the emperor's golden night pot, he also shouted, there is a night pot, there are holes and no mouths. (quote)
"Hahaha······" The old man was happy: "You kid has a good mouth, I had to accept you as an apprentice before, but unfortunately not now." ”
"Now is a new society, how can you accept apprentices and exploit them for several years like before! Old man, don't make mistakes, this is to be pulled out and criticized!" Zheng Tong didn't want to grind his teeth with this old man, so he grabbed the handle and threatened.
"I'm cowardly, old man, don't scare me. Aren't you just going to sell bottles, let me ask you a question, if you answer it, I'll pay 200 yuan personally, how about it?" the old man stared at Zheng Tong and said.
Before Zheng Tong could speak, Yuan Jun hurriedly responded: "Old man, if you ask, as long as it is about porcelain, he will definitely be able to answer." ”
"It's not a small tone, so I'll ask?"
"Hmm. Zheng Tong had no choice but to agree.
The old man said: "I don't embarrass you, do you know which emperor's name Chongzhen is?"
"Cut, I still think you can have some problems! Isn't it Zhu Youzhen, the one on the tree with the crooked neck of the coal mountain!" Zheng Tong said lightly.
Yuan Jun asked, "Old man, right?"
"Well, yes, that's right. The old man smiled and nodded.
"Hey, Zheng Tong really has yours, I didn't expect there to be two brushes!" Two hundred yuan was about to be obtained, Yuan Jun praised Zheng Tong excitedly.
Zheng Tong said to the old man: "Hurry up, I have also answered your question, let's get the money and goods." ”
"Haha, young people are just anxious, and people don't bring so much money on them, take the bottle and go home with me. After the old man finished speaking, he said hello to the others, and led Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun back home.
Yuan Jun was still afraid of fraud, Zheng Tong said: "Just this old man's body and bones, if we don't rob him, we will be merciful." ”
The old man was not angry when he heard this, and walked in front with his hands behind his back and a smile.
