Chapter 26: The Inkstone

Yang Bo got off the bus, walked along the street, looked at the familiar environment around him, and sighed in his heart, how could he have thought that he could do this, according to his previous plan, to be able to get to this point, at least until he was in his forties, but now it has been achieved early.

Walking to the alley not far from Gudezhai, Yang Bo saw a man in his thirties, with a cloth bag hanging from his waist, bulging his pockets, and his behavior was quite suspicious.

Yang Bo just glanced at it, and didn't meddle with it, he had also encountered this kind of vendor before, they did not go to the stall honestly, but walked the streets and alleys, attracting the attention of buyers with an extremely mysterious attitude, and then wooing buyers, the objects in the hands of such vendors are often more expensive, and Yang Bo is reluctant to touch his hands.

"Little brother, do you want to buy an inkstone?"

Yang Bo was just about to walk over, but he was blocked by the other party, who was holding an inkstone in his hand and protecting it with the corner of his clothes.

"No, I don't. Yang Bo took a look and saw that the inkstone was as black as ink, and the black surface was stained with a lot of soil.

"Brother, take a look, I still have a lot of them here!" The other party was still unwilling to give up, so he quickly changed one from his pocket and handed it to Yang Bo.

Yang Bo didn't even look at it, and shook his head directly, "Forget it, I don't have the money to buy it." ”

Fang Yuan looked at Yang Bo carefully, as if he wanted to confirm something, but he said in a casual manner: "Brother, what you said, if you appear on this antique street, can there be anyone who has no money?"

Yang Bo glanced at it and noticed that what the other party was holding in his hand was a peach-shaped inkstone, which was one of the four famous inkstones, produced in Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, "Show me this inkstone." ”

Fang Yuan was very happy to see that Yang Bo finally didn't refuse again, and hurriedly handed over Duan Yan.

Yang Bo carefully observed this inkstone, the whole is peach-shaped, the shape is small, the top of the inkstone is carved with several peach leaves, the inkstone pond is formed with the peach leaves, the inkstone hall is shallow and flat, the overall shape is complete, as if it was done in one go.

Yang Bo did not have the opportunity to come into contact with Duan Yan before, although he knew a little bit of the characteristics of Duan Yan, but he was not good at identifying the contemporary Duan Yan, opened the inkstone, and saw that there was an inscription "Master of Qingxue Village" at the bottom, and five small blocks were engraved on it.

"How much does this inkstone cost?" asked Yang Bo, squinting at the inkstone again.

"One hundred thousand. Fang Yuan said, while not forgetting to explain, "Now there are very few Duan inkstones, the stone mines are depleted, the output of Duan inkstones is extremely low, many Duan inkstones are not orthodox, even the best Duan inkstones, they can't reach the hands of our ordinary people, this Duan inkstone is produced around the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it is very rare!"

The brilliance flashed in front of Yang Bo's eyes, and the aperture slowly converged in the center of the inkstone, and the thin aperture had not yet formed, Yang Bo expected it, and when he saw the shape of the aperture, he had already given up in his heart.

He handed the peach-shaped inkstone back, "It's too expensive, I can't afford it." ”

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yang Bo to react like this, after all, businessmen understand the truth of asking for money to pay back, but after smiling embarrassedly, he took out an inkstone and handed it to Yang Bo, "Well, you can take a look at this!"

Yang Bo glanced at it and shook his head slightly, "Forget it, I won't look at it, I can't afford it anyway." ”

"Hey, don't worry, there's always one that suits you!" Fang Yuan laughed, and took out three inkstones from the cloth bag at once, two of which were end inkstones.

Yang Bo smiled: "It seems that you are a monopoly on Duanyan?"

"Almost, relatively speaking, the four famous inkstones, I like Duan inkstones more. Fang Yuan said.

Yang Bo took it again, looked at them separately, and quickly handed them back, "Forget it!"

Fang Yuan was a little anxious, as if he was anxious that he couldn't sell the inkstone to Yang Bo, he pressed it with both hands, "You wait for me for a while, I'll go back and get a few inkstones, I don't believe I don't have what you want in my hand!"

Yang Bo shook his head and stopped: "Don't bother, your inkstone is too expensive, forget it, I have something to do, let's talk next time!"

Fang Yuan grabbed Yang Bo, "Don't worry, just a while, five minutes is fine, the place where I live is very close to here, you just wait for me, just wait for a while!"

After that, without waiting for Yang Bo to respond, Fang Yuan turned around and ran.

Yang Bo was stunned for a while, but he didn't understand what the other party meant?

Do you have to sell the inkstone to yourself?

Yang Bo thought of this, his heart suddenly sudden, he is a suspicious person, he has been thrifty like an iron rooster for two years, and it also makes him very suspicious of money matters, he was pulled by Li Er in the ghost market before, he was suspicious, but fortunately, the result was okay after that.

This time, he still plans to wait, after all, he has the confidence to appraise, even if the other party wants to deceive himself, it's a big deal not to buy it.

……

Fang Yuan looked around, this was the time he hurriedly entered a small courtyard, which was covered by grape trellises, and it was quite quiet.

One of them was already standing there, looking towards Fang Yuan, "What's wrong?" Did he buy it?"

Fang Yuan gasped, "Boss Jia, I'm afraid the one you want to deal with is not so easy to fool, he looked at these inkstones, and none of them satisfied him!"

"None of them satisfied him?" Jia Huairen frowned, this time, it was indeed he who contacted Fang Yuan, a second-class dealer who wandered through the streets and alleys, in order to plot the tens of thousands of yuan in Yang Bo's hand, although he didn't know how much the fish basket was sold, but he knew that Yang Bo must have made money!

Jia Huairen remembered that early in the morning, Yang Bo resolutely walked out of the store after he left his heavy words, and later acted as Guo Papi's dog's leg, wanting to cheat his money, which made him unbearable!

"Nope. Fang Yuan paused, then hesitated again: "You say, could it be because our price is too high?"

"How much did you drive?" Jia Huairen asked.

"I opened 100,000 yuan, and the price sounds very high, but the point is that he didn't make a counteroffer!"

"There is no counteroffer?" Jia Huairen sharpened his voice, "Could he see it?"

"No, I don't think I should be able to see it, I didn't say anything at all, no, I want to rush back early, it won't be good if he leaves!" Fang Yuan didn't know the grievances between the two, and he was smart not to ask more.

"Didn't you still have the things you prepared, bring them all!" Fang Yuan walked towards the room.

"There's a Buddha statue over there, an ivory wat, and an inkstone, but it's not in good condition. Jia Huairen said loudly into the house, while admonishing: "The price should not be so high later, but it should not be low, the price of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, he should be able to take it out!"

"Okay, I got it!"
