Chapter 225: Nanmu Box

"Boss Meng, please take a good look. ”

For food and clothing, Cheng Mazi is still quite polite, with a smile on his face, but this face, Mencius Tao doesn't feel comfortable no matter how he looks at it.

Since the three boxes were relatively large and it was inconvenient to take them to the table for identification, Meng Zitao stood up and stepped forward to take a look.

These two boxes are made of Nanmu, which is one of the high-grade woods, which is hard and corrosion-resistant, the texture is elegant and quiet, the texture is warm and soft, the shrinkage and deformation are small, and there is a burst of fragrance in case of rain. Therefore, the ancient buildings, gold lacquer thrones, and interior decoration of the Ming and Qing dynasties are mostly made of nanmu. Because of its small production area and slow growth, it is very rare.

However, the Nanmu used in these two boxes is not very good, and the overall light element is not grainy, from the perspective of pulp and other aspects, the production time should be only forty or fifty years, and the value of the two boxes should be four or five thousand.

However, in one of the boxes, there is also a box also made of Nanmu.

The box is made of high-quality nanmu, which is a regular rectangle, with a lid, which can be opened freely, its color is light orange and yellow, the wood grain is elegant and natural, the surface is thick and heavy, and the unique taste has been made.

The front of the box is decorated with copper square leaves and wishful cloud beats, which can be padlocked. Copper handles on both sides. The overall shape of the box is simple and calm, simple and dignified, and the whole body is light, showing the natural and unique texture of Nanmu, and the charm is endless.

After that, Meng Zitao opened the small box, only to see that there were several ancient books inside, he took out the ancient books and flipped through them, and found that these ancient books were actually just some blank albums.

After flipping through two books in succession, Cheng Mazi couldn't wait to ask, "Boss Meng, how much can these things be worth?"

Meng Zitao's gaze took off the album. He raised his head and said, "Are you going to sell these boxes?"

Cheng Mazi said with a smile: "If the price is right." Of course I'm ready to sell. ”

Originally, Cheng Mazi was a person. Meng Zitao wanted to treat this matter according to the rules of the antique shop, but when he saw Cheng Mazi's two skinny daughters, he was still a little unbearable, and finally sighed in his heart, and comforted himself, even if most of the money was squandered by Cheng Mazi in the end, there would always be some of it used on his children.

"I'll say it now?" Meng Zitao asked again.

As soon as the words fell, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy next to him. said impatiently: "What's the matter with you, my dad asked you how much it was, you just said no, what are you talking about!"

"Smack!" Cheng Mazi directly gave the young man an ear scraper: "Is there a place for you to talk here?"

glared fiercely at his son, who was covering his face with his hands, and he hurriedly said to Meng Zitao with a smile: "Boss Meng, this melon baby in my family doesn't know how to be polite, please forgive me! ”

Regarding the performance of the two, Meng Zitao sneered in his heart, no wonder people often say. Lao Tzu is a hero, Lao Tzu is a bear bastard, it seems that it does make sense.

Then, he said lightly: "These two boxes." Each one is two thousand, and the remaining small box is about fifteen thousand. ”

As soon as they heard the price, the surrounding villagers blew up their nests again. Everyone didn't expect that a few boxes would be so valuable. Not to mention, the owner of the thing is still a person like Cheng Mazi. This makes everyone have a feeling that there is no evil retribution in their hearts.

Cheng Mazi's family was also pleasantly surprised, but when Cheng Mazi thought of the tea tray, he immediately began to feel uncomfortable again, and he immediately thought of another question.

"Boss Meng, these three boxes should all be made of nanmu, why is there so much difference in price?"

Meng Zitao explained simply: "Nanmu is also good and bad, and the production time is also different. ”

Cheng Mazi begged and said, "But the difference is too much, you are all big bosses, just add a little more." ”

"There's no way I'm going to trade at a loss. Meng Zitao shook his head and directly refused, originally he offered this price because of sympathy in his heart, of course, it was impossible to raise it again.

Of course, Cheng Mazi still didn't give up, and pestered Meng Zitao to add more.

Meng Zitao ate soft and not hard, and refused very strongly, and finally even said that if Cheng Mazi did this again, he would not buy these things.

At this time, Cheng Mazi's son jumped out again, pointed at Meng Zitao and scolded: "Ma Le Pi, don't think that a few stinky money is great, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will make it impossible for you to get out of Langzhou!"

Looking at the young man in front of him, with an old-fashioned and fierce appearance in his eyes, at that moment, Meng Zitao had the idea of eliminating harm for the people in advance.

But after thinking about it again, Meng Zitao felt that the more he lived, the more he went back, what was angry with such a hairy boy, and he also had a way to control him.

Meng Zitao said lightly: "Mr. Cheng, is this your idea?"

"Smack!"

Cheng Mazi slapped his son hard again, and scolded angrily: "Get out of the way!"

Then, he nodded and said to Meng Zitao: "Boss Meng, you misunderstood, how could I have such an idea." ”

Meng Zitao glanced at the young man in front of him who was looking at him fiercely, and waved his hand: "Okay, just talk about how to deal with these things." ”

Cheng Mazi thought for a while and said, "You also know that these boxes are all ancestral, and I am sorry for my ancestors if they are all sold." ”

Hearing this, the surrounding villagers all wanted to spit on Cheng Mazi's face, if Cheng Mazi really had this idea, how could he be such a bastard like now!

Cheng Mazi continued: "So, I think the box will be kept first, and the box will be sold." ”

Meng Zitao didn't bother to think about Cheng Mazi's thoughts, so he agreed directly.

Taking out the box, Cheng Mazi saw the albums inside and asked, "By the way, these books are also old, why didn't I listen to your offer?"

Meng Zitao said indifferently: "If you want to sell it, give it to me for 200 yuan, and if you don't want to sell it, you can take it back." ”

As soon as he saw Meng Zitao's posture, Cheng Mazi felt that these albums should be worthless, but with the idea that the more money the better, he wanted Meng Zitao to add more.

However, Meng Zitao didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he directly blocked him with words: "Two hundred yuan, I won't ask for any more!"

Cheng Mazi flipped through the blank albums and felt that there was really nothing good, so he agreed.

Next, the two quickly completed the transaction, and in view of Cheng Mazi's virtue, Meng Zitao also asked him to write a transfer agreement to avoid any mistakes in the future. Although more than 10,000 is really nothing to him, if he really encounters this kind of thing, it is disgusting enough.

After completing the transaction, Meng Zitao saw Cheng Mazi's son, and looked at him angrily, feeling sad and lamentable.

Then, Meng Zitao walked straight out of the door, just when everyone didn't know what he was going to do, they saw him suddenly step on the brick just now, only to hear the sound of "poof", the brick under his feet was smashed by him with one foot.

This situation made the surrounding villagers stunned, and they were suddenly silent.

At this time, Meng Zitao walked back with an indifferent expression, and when he walked to the door, he still smiled at Cheng Mazi's son, which frightened the young man's face to change.

Cheng Mazi hurriedly smiled and said, "The child is not sensible, please don't mind Boss Meng!"

Meng Zitao waved his hand, and did not go to care about Cheng Mazi's family, and asked the next villager to come up for identification.

To say, in the past two hours today, I have gained a lot, but these are all ordinary things, which can be seen from the calculated amount of less than 10,000.

Fortunately, the gall tea tray made Meng Zitao satisfied, and the smiling faces of these villagers in front of him made Meng Zitao feel that he had not worked in vain.

It's just that what worries Meng Zitao is that Cheng Dewang helps him with the money, but how to transport those bottles and cans out makes him a little difficult. After thinking about it, he could only ask the villagers for help, so he told Cheng Dewang, and Cheng Dewang agreed to it, and said that it could be shipped out without money.

Meng Zitao was embarrassed, he had to pay, and finally under Cheng Dewang's reminder, he proposed that a person give 20 yuan, but when the villagers heard it, they wanted to sign up for a circle......

Due to the tight time, Meng Zitao did not delay and immediately quit and returned to school.

In Xie Guozhong's office, Meng Zitao took a sip of hot tea and eliminated some of his physical and mental exhaustion.

"Boss Meng, do you want to call a truck for you to pack and transport all those things back?" Xie Guozhong asked.

Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand: "No, if you pack and ship it back, it is estimated that even the freight will not be enough." ”

Xie Guozhong was surprised: "Then you are too much of a loss, right?"

Meng Zitao said: "The loss is not enough, it should be able to break even." ”

Xie Guozhong gave Meng Zitao a thumbs up: "Boss Meng, you really don't have to say anything about your heart. ”

"Wherever I do, I only need to feel worthy of my conscience. ”

Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand, and said, "By the way, Principal Xie, please make a list of things that the school lacks." ”

Xie Guozhong was pleasantly surprised, and nodded again and again to say yes. Just as he was about to start writing, his wife came over to call everyone to dinner, he quickly stood up and invited Meng Zitao and them to the cafeteria.

At this time, Xie Guozhong's wife saw Pu'er on the table and said, "Isn't this Pu'er?"

"How do you know Pu'er?" Xie Guozhong asked a little strangely.

"Don't we have it?"

"Do we have Pu'er?"

"You don't remember, before my dad died, my dad asked me to get it back, it seems like it's been many years, and I don't know if it's bad or not. ”

As soon as Xie Guozhong heard this, he couldn't calm down, and hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go back and have a look." ”

Xie Guozhong's wife said: "That thing won't be gone if it's left away, what are you anxious about!"

Xie Guozhong heard his wife say this, and said to Meng Zitao with some embarrassment: "Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm too anxious." (To be continued.) )
