Seeing that the time was almost noon, the old man insisted that Meng Zitao eat at his place, and under the hospitality, Meng Zitao agreed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because it was far away from the town and didn't know that Meng Zitao would come, it was inconvenient to buy meat food, so the old man's family took out the marinated bacon, cured duck and so on, and the dishes made were fragrant and mellow, sweet and refreshing, and had a unique flavor.

In addition, the old man also took out the old wine that had been hidden for many years for Meng Zitao to taste. After Meng Zitao drank it, he said yes in a loud voice.

Everyone was eating and chatting, and the old man learned the purpose of Meng Zitao's coming here today, waved his hand and said, "I suggest you don't go." ”

"What's wrong? Have you sold out?" asked Xiao He with some curiosity.

"I don't know if it's sold out or not. The old man said: "However, yesterday a boss went to the old abacus's house, and when I saw it, the boss was holding a bottle in his hand. In general, in this case, I estimate that even if the old abacus still has something in his hand, it should be impossible to sell it anymore. ”

"And to be honest, the old abacus is a thief, and if you want to buy something from him, you can't do it without paying a price, especially if you send it to the door, even if he wants to sell it, he has to open his mouth. ”

The old name in the uncle's words is the head of the family, and the reason why he is called Lao Abacus is precisely because he is shrewd and knows that strange goods can be lived.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's okay, it's rare to come here, I have to take a look at it, if it's too expensive, I won't buy it." ”

The uncle took a sip of wine and said, "Anyway, you should have more eyes when the time comes." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and nodded.

The meal was almost finished, and Xiao He said to Meng Zitao that his cousin's family also had a few old things, could you help take a look.

As soon as Meng Zitao said yes, Xiao He got up and hurriedly walked out of the door to call someone.

When Xiao He went out, the uncle whispered earnestly: "Young man, you are a good person, but it is easy for a good person to suffer losses when doing business." As the old saying goes, people's desires and hopes are like the sea, and they cannot be filled. Some people in our village are poor and crazy, and if you give him a hundred yuan, he dares to ask you for a thousand yuan, so I advise you, if there are too many people in the future, don't have any sympathy, otherwise it may be bad. ”

Meng Zitao smiled and thanked the uncle for reminding him, this kind of thing really needs to be paid more attention to, otherwise it will be a bit of trouble to encounter a scoundrel.

As the old saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and this sentence also makes sense. Because, the fewer resources there are, the more selfish people become, and many of what we think of as "small interests" are "big interests" in their eyes. That's why they give up their dignity and start playing scoundrels, and they will do whatever it takes to fight.

And if resources are abundant, people will be more selfless, and the more diverse and peaceful the means of competing for resources will be.

In the final analysis, this is actually because of people's instinct to survive, once it is difficult to live, what dignity can we talk about if we can't even eat every day?

Moreover, this is not unique to the poor, you can look at those rich families, if they encounter property entanglements, are there some people who will play scoundrels, saying that the inheritance is their own?

Getting back to the point, after Mencius finished eating a bowl of rice, Xiao He walked into the house with a middle-aged man who looked honest, both of them holding some things in their hands.

Needless to say, this person is Xiao He's cousin, let's call him Lao He.

Seeing the uncle and nephew come in, the old man quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. On the other side, Meng Zitao and his uncle and nephew exchanged a few words, and began to look at the things they brought.

The uncle and nephew brought a total of five things, and it seems that they should have just been cleaned up, and the porcelain looks new.

Seeing this, Meng Zitao shook his head and said, "How did you clean up everything?"

"What's wrong?" the uncle and nephew were a little confused, and besides, the reason why they cleaned things up was just

Meng Zitao said: "The cleaning of the surface of antiques is a very professional thing, due to different types and textures, the cleaning methods are also different. The three things that the uncle had just now, because they are all porcelain, are relatively easy to clean. But this is a copper mirror, and if you rub the patina on it like this, it will basically be destroyed. ”

"Ahh

Seeing that the two of them really didn't understand this aspect, Meng Zitao explained in detail, and when he heard that the bronze mirror was indeed worthless because of the cleaning up of the two, Lao He was distressed, and Xiao He didn't know what to say.

After half a ring, Lao He came back to his senses and said with a strong smile: "Boss Meng, you are an expert, and you have more ways than us ordinary people in this regard, can you help me think of a way?"

Meng Zitao shook his head and refused directly, if the value of the bronze mirror is high, then he can remedy one or two, but this bronze mirror is only a thousand yuan, after it is cleaned up, it can be worth dozens of yuan at most, why does he want this kind of thing?

Seeing that Meng Zitao directly rejected his request, Lao He muttered something in his mouth.

Because he spoke in the local dialect and his voice was small, Meng Zitao couldn't understand it at all, but it was unlikely that it was a good word, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, and at the same time, it also made him realize that what the uncle said just now was more than that!

Xiao He hurriedly slapped Uncle Cousin's arm secretly, signaling him not to talk nonsense, and at the same time, he smiled and asked Meng Zitao to comment on other things.

Meng Zitao nodded faintly, and then looked at the other things, three of them, although they were also some years old, but they were just things used by ordinary people in ancient times, and they were basically not worth much.

The remaining thing is a piece of jade, which is a green jade Weng Zhong.

Weng Zhong, Sinan and Gang Mao and Yan Mao were all popular in the Han Dynasty, and they were used to ward off evil spirits, and were called "the three treasures of evil spirits".

Ong Trong is a personal name, Vietnamese, with the surname Nguyen. Legend has it that he is one foot three feet long, brave and brave, different from ordinary people, led troops to guard Lintao, and suppressed the Huns, Qin Shi Huang appreciated him very much.

After Weng Zhong's death, Qin Shi Huang cast a bronze statue for him and placed it outside the Sima Gate in Xianyang, and later noble emperors often have stone people, stone horses, stone sheep, etc. in front of the tombs, and the stone man is Weng Zhong.

Because people want to use his spiritual power to ward off evil spirits, the descendants mostly use jade to carve a standing person wearing a robe, a crown, and holding his hands on his chest, which has the style of Han Eight Knife. Weng Zhong of the Han Dynasty was a young man with a long beard and a bowed imitation.

This Qingyu Weng Zhong is the dress of a young man, standing in a standing position, with a high crown in a robe, a clear face, hands clasped in front of his abdomen, a robe on the ground, and a simple craftsmanship, with the style of Han Eight Knife.

In addition, there is a reddish color on the surface of the jade, which should have been put into the soil before, and was later found and taken out. Since the excavation time is not short, there is already a pulp.

The texture of this green jade Weng Zhong is good, and the carving is also good, and Meng Zitao estimated that it should be worth tens of thousands of yuan.

"These three pieces are relatively ordinary things, the amount on the market is relatively large, basically not worth any money, the rest of this Qingyu Weng Zhong is still good, I don't know how much you want to sell?"

When Lao He heard this, he looked at his nephew.

Xiao He understood what his cousin meant, and said with a smile: "Boss Meng, we really don't understand antiques, please help give a price, we believe you." ”

Lao He also nodded again and again, saying that what his nephew said was right.

Xiao He is the guide this time, of course Meng Zitao also has to give a little face, but Lao He's behavior just now also made him unhappy, since this is the case, he only gave Lao He an ordinary price, which is 25,000 yuan. Of course, this price did not disadvantage Lao He, but if it wasn't for what happened just now, it would be normal to have a few thousand.

When Lao He heard that such a little jade figure was worth 25,000 yuan, he almost went crazy, and even asked Meng Zitao if he had heard it wrong. In the end, it wasn't until he got the cash given by Meng Zitao that he completely believed it.

When Meng Zitao gave the money, he felt that he should have a good heart, so he signed a transfer agreement with Lao He.

Lao He happily went home with the money, and as for the rest of the things, he simply left them to Meng Zitao. However, Meng Zitao didn't plan to ask for it, so let Xiao He take it back.

Originally, Meng Zitao was going to go to the old abacus's house, but the uncle reminded Meng Zitao that this time was the lunch break when the old abacus couldn't move, and if he went to knock on the door rashly, he would also hate the old abacus, so that Meng Zitao would go after two o'clock.

Since this is the case, Meng Zitao drank tea at his uncle's house and rested for a while.

However, before waiting for half an hour, a large group of villagers came to Hula, basically every villager carried something in their hands, what bowls, jars, bottles, small furniture, jade utensils, etc., and someone actually carried a stone man who was found out of nowhere, which made Meng Zitao speechless.

Seeing this, the old man and Xiao He hurriedly maintained order and asked people to carry the table to the courtyard, which made it seem much more spacious. Of course, the big yellow dog would have been locked up in the house by the uncle a long time ago, otherwise, it would have been on the table at dinner.

There is nothing to say next, Meng Zitao identified one by one, however, this is originally a poor and remote area, under normal circumstances, the probability of finding good things is very small, and there can be two tens of thousands of things, which has been beyond Meng Zitao's expectations.

Sure enough, most of the things brought by the villagers were ordinary civilian items, which were basically worthless. The rest, although there are still some that can still be seen, are only worth a few thousand dollars.

Faced with this result, some villagers couldn't figure it out, thinking that Lao He was a little jade man, and the old man could sell a plate for twenty-five thousand (twenty thousand), why their things were not worth much, or at most worth a few thousand! )
