PS: Thank you for the rewards of "Liu Lijin, Dongshan Village, Ningxiang County", "Er. Forcing Xiao Youth", "What is Ai" and "Book Friend 160118033947032"!
Just as Meng Zitao made up his mind, he received a call from Feng Zhengsheng.
Feng Zhengsheng first apologized to Meng Zitao, saying that it was not convenient to answer the phone in the afternoon because of something.
Meng Zitao smiled and said that it didn't matter, and while congratulating Feng Zhengsheng on the family reunion, he repeated what he had said to Zhao Linwei before.
Feng Zhengsheng did not agree, and the rhetoric he came up with was similar to Zhao Linwei's, thinking that even if it was luck, it was also due to Meng Zitao, and it was still Meng Zitao's credit.
Seeing Feng Zhengsheng say this, of course Meng Zitao would not force it, and after saying a few words with a smile, he hung up the phone.
On the phone with Feng Zhengsheng, Lao Song also made the appointment, and Meng Zitao asked the waiter to start serving.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Lao Song said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, what's the matter with calling me over today?"
Meng Zitao grinned: "I miss you, can I invite you to a meal?"
Lao Song scolded with a smile: "I'm not a woman, I say so numbly, if you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart." ”
Meng Zitao laughed, and then said, "Do you know the three brothers of the Yao family?"
Lao Song frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "You're talking about the three cheeky people surnamed Yao, right?"
"Yes, that's them. Meng Zitao nodded.
"Knowing is knowing, but not familiar. Lao Song said: "Is it that the three of them are making trouble for you? In fact, you don't have to be afraid of them at all, these three guys are the masters who bully the soft and fear the hard, catch up with Ming'er, I will let people bring a message and let them apologize to you." ”
Seeing that Meng Zitao waved his hand, he said quickly: "What, they have offended you severely? What do you want to do? As long as it is not too serious, I can ask someone to help you solve it." ”
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Old Song, it's not as serious as you said, it's like this......"
Lao Song listened to what happened, waved his hand and said, "This matter is easy to solve, and I will be able to give you an answer tomorrow." ”
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Thank you, just say what the cost is." ”
Lao Song waved his hand: "Hey, our brothers, what kind of money is not money." ”
Meng Zitao insisted on giving: "You can't say that, we can do what we want, we can't let people do things, a meal, a pack of cigarettes, and no errands, right?"
Old Song smiled and said, "Okay, then I'm not welcome, you just give three or five hundred." ”
Meng Zitao directly took out a thousand, put it in front of Lao Song, and said, "In these years, what can three or five hundred do?"
Seeing that Meng Zitao was refreshing, Lao Song was not polite, put away the money, and said with a smile: "It's really a matter of being impressed in three days, and Xiao Meng has become Boss Meng." ”
Meng Zitao said a little solemnly: "Old Song, we have known each other for more than four years, and you still don't know my character? No matter how I change, isn't it still Xiao Meng! Of course, if you regard me as Boss Meng, then I have nothing to say." ”
Lao Song's expression was full: "Xiao Meng, I have taken your words to heart, I would like to give you a drink!"
"Ding......
After eating the food, Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Old Song, I feel that you are in the company and outside, just like two people." ”
Lao Song smiled: "Hehe, the company, you always have to look like a person, out of the company, that's what you are, what is this called...... Oh, the return of the wild. ”
Meng Zitao "fluttered" and was amused: "Old Song, you seem to be talking about animals, right?"
Lao Song was stunned, and scolded with a smile: "You kid knows that I don't read much, but you still say so, and punish yourself with three cups!"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I said Lao Song, this is 52-degree liquor, you are letting me roll under the table." Of course, if you drink I'll definitely drink too. ”
Lao Song's eyes lit up: "But you said this, don't regret it?"
"Of course, I'll do it first to respect ......"
Seeing that Meng Zitao drank a glass (almost one or two) very casually, Lao Song also got into a drink, and then drank a glass, the two of them came and went, and after a while, three cups were spilled.
Lao Song spat out the wine, hurriedly ate some food and pressed the wine, seeing that Meng Zitao's face still did not change and his heart did not beat, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Xiao Meng, I didn't find out when we ate together a few times ago, you kid can drink so much, I knew this, I must have asked you to drink every once in a while." ”
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Wine is good in moderation, but Lao Song, you come to me for a drink, as long as I am fine, I will definitely accompany you." ”
Lao Song smiled: "Haha, then let's decide......"
After chatting for a while, the topic came to antiques, Lao Song said: "Speaking of antiques, Xiao Li, this kid doesn't know what's going on, he hasn't talked about these things for a while, and he doesn't know how to change sex." ”
Meng Zitao knew why, but this was Li Xianle's trouble, and he was not like Li Xianle who was a big mouth, of course he wouldn't say it, so he casually perfunctory and said: "Old Song, did anyone hear back from the thing that asked you to inquire last time?"
"What's that called?"
Lao Song paused, patted his forehead, recalled for a moment, and then said a little suddenly: "I remember, last time a little brother said that he has a cousin in his family, who is also in the antique business, but he is different from you, mainly to go to the countryside to receive goods, some time ago because he received a fake, he wanted to deal with the things at home and change to other businesses." ”
Hearing this, Meng Zitao knew that the man was in the business of shoveling land, shovels, if you are unlucky, you can't make a lot of money through hard work, but if you are lucky, you should be able to receive some good things.
So, Meng Zitao hurriedly asked, "When is this happening, and where is that person?"
Lao Song said with some embarrassment: "When I talked about it when I was drinking last Sunday, that person seems to be from southern Anhui. ”
Meng Zitao was a little speechless and said: "It's been a week, is the thing still there?"
Lao Song laughed: "I was drunk that day, and then I forgot about it." So, I called him and asked. ”
Meng Zitao thought for a while and said, "If his cousin hasn't sold everything, you can let him come over now, or come to my store tomorrow." ”
"Okay, no problem......"
Nearly twenty minutes later, a young man of nearly thirty years old walked in from outside the door with the waiter.
After the young man came in, he greeted the two of them respectfully, and Lao Song also introduced the two sides.
The young man's name is You Xiaofu, and he jokingly said that his parents gave him this name because of Xiaofu, which means that Xiaofu is peace, but so far, let alone Xiaofu, but he has just been able to eat and wear.
The three of them drank for a while, and then Lao Song said, "Xiao You, what did your cousin say?"
You Xiaofu hurriedly put down his wine glass and said, "I just called and asked, my cousin's things were only handled in a small part." ”
Lao Song said: "It can't be that you have dealt with all the good things and left some crappy goods, right?"
"No, no. You Xiaofu waved his hand: "My cousin said that he only dealt with a few good things." ”
Meng Zitao smiled when he heard this: "It seems that your cousin still has a lot of good goods in his hands?"
"I really don't know. You Xiaofu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Shopkeeper Meng, you were introduced by Brother Song, so I will tell the truth, in fact, my cousin is a little unreliable......
You Xiaofu's cousin is called Fan Dingxi, and the reason why he does shovel work is also because he watched antique shows on TV and listened to the introduction of friends.
However, Fan Dingxi went to the countryside to receive the goods, and the place he chose at the beginning was a mountain village, and he ran wherever he wanted to see which mountain was big and which mountain was remote.
The reason why he decided this way was because he felt that the countryside with good transportation must have been scavenged by those shovels, so how could there be any good things waiting for him to collect?
Therefore, if you want to make a difference, you have to find another way, where others don't go or don't go much.
Imagining those exquisite porcelain, jade, bronze and so on rushing towards him, from then on, living a rich life, Fan Dingxi began his own journey to the mountain village.
The wish is beautiful, the reality is cruel, Fan Dingxi went to a few villages to inquire, only to find that what he thought was a good idea, others had already thought of it, and the mountain villages that had experienced several "sweeps" could not see anything good at all.
At the end of the day, he only received a few pieces of porcelain from the Republic of China, and the oldest ones were only copper coins from the Ming Dynasty, and only one or two.
Fan Dingxi didn't believe in evil, and continued to run the next day, and still only received a few copper coins at the end of the day, this time there was only Kangxi, Qianlong or simply Guangxu's.
Fan Dingxi has a tenacity, after two days of disappointment, he still did not give up, and ran for nearly a month, however, there was little gain.
After that, Fan Dingxi learned from the pain and thought about it repeatedly, what was going on, was it his bad luck, or were those shovels all locusts and took the things away?
After thinking about it for a few days and being reminded by others, he learned the answer. It turned out that in the past, the people in the mountains were too poor and didn't even have decent clothes, so how could they have the money to buy any art?
In addition, since it is a remote mountainous area, there must be no tombs of dignitaries, so there is no good thing to dig up in the ground. When he goes to this kind of place to collect old goods, isn't that to look for lice on the bald head?
Thinking about this, Fan Dingxi knew that if he wanted to receive old goods, he could only go to those rural areas with convenient transportation. However, this kind of place has been sifted over and over again, can there be any good stuff left?
As I said just now, Fan Dingxi has a tenacity, and he is determined not to give up easily, and he doesn't care about anything else, so he uses more energy than others to devote himself to the business of shoveling land.
Hearing You Xiaofu say this, Lao Song said a little strangely: "I said Xiaoyou, your cousin's personality is good, why do you say that he is unreliable?"
Meng Zitao was also a little puzzled.
You Xiaofu smiled: "What if I said that my cousin only read a book on the identification of antiques before receiving old goods?"
