Chapter 120: Returning Home with a Full Load (I)
The middle-aged man was already a little moved by the fact that the pen holder could be sold for one hundred and five, but he was still not willing to sell so much, and said, "Fifty is too little." ”
"Then add thirty. ”
"Count two hundred, and I'll give you this thing. The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Okay, it's two hundred dollars, let's see if it's true. ”
Meng Zitao pondered for a moment, then took out two red tickets from his bag and handed them over.
Seeing that it was two brand-new red tickets, the middle-aged man immediately raised his eyebrows, listening to the sound of "bang-la-la", his heart was very happy, and the eyes of the people around him were also full of envy.
Speaking of which, Meng Zitao still remembers that when he was a child, whether in the countryside or in the city, he liked this kind of brand-new bills, and he didn't like the soft banknotes, and when he used them, he must use the old ones first.
In the same way, when you go to the countryside to receive goods, it is best to bring more new money, and you must use less old money, otherwise, the villagers will definitely not be happy. And the onlookers will also be thinking in their hearts, what kind of person is this guy, he uses all the old money, and he wants to exchange it for my old things, no way!
Therefore, Meng Zitao had made corresponding preparations in the bank before, and changed the 30,000 serial banknotes, which is now playing a role.
People in the village like to watch the excitement, I heard that there are people here to collect old things, the family is fine, all came to see the excitement, there are more and more onlookers, some people have just slept in bed, heard the noise outside the window, and got up to see the excitement.
Now everyone saw that the middle-aged man's pen holder had been replaced with two brand-new banknotes, and the surroundings suddenly became lively, passing news to each other: "Who still has any useless old things, and now someone is coming to buy them, hurry up and sell them!"
From their excited eyes, Meng Zitao knew that they were looking at him as a mallet, and he actually bought a piece of such a product for two hundred yuan, this kind of person is stupid and has a lot of money Kaizi is not easy to find, of course he can't miss it.
Regarding this situation, Meng Zitao laughed in his heart, and at this time, the man named Qingping just now walked back with a turquoise plate.
When he heard that Meng Zitao spent 200 yuan to buy the pen holder, his face turned a little red with excitement, and he said in his heart, as long as that broken thing can be sold for 200 yuan, what about my plate, it has to be sold for 500 yuan, right?
However, Meng Zitao looked at the plate, returned it, and said, "Big brother, you better take this thing back, I won't accept it." ”
The man was stunned, frowned and said, "You took that thing just now, you don't accept such a beautiful plate of mine?"
Meng Zitao said politely: "If it's something else, even if it's five or ten yuan, I will accept it, but what about you...... thing."
"What do you mean?" The man had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and said, "You tell me clearly, otherwise this matter will not be over!"
Meng Zitao said: "This is what you asked me to say, don't blame me for a while." ”
"It's certainly not strange that there are so many people around. The man's tone was already a little weak.
Meng Zitao said: "This thing is actually a plate specially used to put tributes when others went to the grave in the past. ”
"Really?" the man's eyes almost bulged.
Meng Zitao nodded and said, "It's true, if you don't believe it, you can take things to the city for identification." Even if you get it to the capital, if I say it wrong, I will not only reimburse the carriage and horse expenses, but also give you a sum of money, which will be counted as compensation. ”
Hearing Meng Zitao say this, how can a man still have a reason not to believe, besides, if the thing is good, how can Meng Zitao not buy it?
At this moment, he shouted "bad luck" in his heart, and he couldn't wait to smash the plate in his hand on the spot.
At this time, one of the onlookers spoke: "I watched TV a few days ago and said that even if it is used by the dead, it is very valuable. Let's just say that what kind of golden jade clothes are for the dead, and they are worth hundreds of millions. ”
Meng Zitao said: "The truth is this truth, but just like our current things, there are good and bad, and this kind of utensils are also good and bad. Let's just say that this eldest brother's plate, in the past, the coffin shop sold a lot of it, and it was only two or three coppers a piece, you say, how much can this thing be worth?"
"Therefore, the things dug out of the ground are also divided into categories, and although some are very old, the market value is not high because of the role. Of course, this thing is also an old thing, and I suggest that it is better not to smash it, because maybe one day the market will suddenly rise. ”
"Phew, this kind of bad luck is still a treasure at home!" The man looked at the plate in his hand with a dark face, and then turned to leave, looking at the appearance, he should have found a place to throw the plate.
Seeing this scene, the faces of several people around were a little uncertain, and they turned around and left quickly.
Needless to say, these people must have something dug out of the ground in their homes. Because of the influence of the man's incident, he was worried that it would be an unfortunate and worthless thing, so he thought about bringing it over to Meng Zitao to see.
Meng Zitao is secretly happy, this can be regarded as someone who is sleepy and someone sends a pillow.
At this time, the three stunned people were finally late, he only took one thing in his hand, and Meng Zitao looked at it, and it turned out to be a pastel porcelain basin.
"Yo, stunned, why did you bring all the basins?"
"This basin is so beautiful, it can't be a dowry brought by your daughter-in-law......
Many people around were joking with the three stunned people, and the three stunned people replied expectantly, and they felt difficult when they looked at it.
When Meng Zitao saw it, he shook his head in his heart, although these people didn't seem to have malicious intentions, but he felt a little unkind when he joked about the stuttering of the three stunned people.
"You...... You can show you!" the three stunned men handed the basin to Meng Zitao.
Meng Zitao asked him to put the basin down before he started to observe.
This is a pastel figure basin, the inner wall uses pastel to draw Fu Lushou three-star figures, as well as a number of boys, the painting work is general, made for the late Qing Dynasty kiln, not very good, at most it is worth one or two thousand.
"Multi-...... How much does it cost?"
"If you want to sell it, count you as one hundred and fifteen, right?"
Listening to the price offered by Meng Zitao, the middle-aged man from before said with some displeasure: "I said what is the matter with you, such a beautiful basin, why do you only pay so much money?"
The surrounding villagers also agreed with this and felt that Meng Zitao was a little black-hearted.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's not a beautiful thing that is worth a lot, just like the pots and bowls we buy now, the patterns are also very beautiful, but everyone buys it, and it only costs a few yuan or a dozen yuan a piece, isn't it?"
The middle-aged man smiled, obviously not believing Meng Zitao's words: "Then what kind of value do you say?"
"The key is to be able to embody art, but I really don't see much art ...... this basin"
Meng Zitao pointed out several shortcomings on the basin and said: "To be honest, I suggest that this basin should be put away at home, Fu Lu Shou Samsung, it is also quite festive." ”
If this basin is worth 350,000 yuan, it will be nothing for Meng Zitao to buy it, but it is worth one or two thousand, and the diameter is nearly 40 centimeters, which is too big and inconvenient to hold, so forget it.
Seeing that Meng Zitao really didn't mean to buy this basin, everyone believed Meng Zitao's statement instead.
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "This boss, it's not easy to be stunned for three times, so you can add fifty to two hundred to buy it." ”
"I said what you said is too fake, isn't it possible to take your parents to the capital?"
However, considering the establishment of his own image, Meng Zitao still hesitated for a while, and in the expectation of everyone, he agreed: "Forget it, who told me to be soft-hearted, two hundred is two hundred, I don't know what this big brother thinks?"
The three stunned shook his head: "I don't ...... Sold. ”
Meng Zitao didn't want to buy it in the first place, but now when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Okay, then so be it." ”
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "I said three stunned, why are you so stupid! Two hundred yuan, how long do you have to have it?"
When Meng Zitao heard this, he felt very strange in his heart, it seems that it may indeed be difficult for the three stunned people's family, so what did the three stunned people mean when they said that they would take their parents to the capital?
The three stunned people said, "I...... I really don't ...... I'm going to sell it. ”
With that, he walked back with the pastel basin.
"This guy is really stunned, he doesn't make money when he has money. ”
"Even if it's not, I don't know what the hell is going on with him. ”
"Hehe, if he had a better brain, he wouldn't be like this......"
The reaction of the three stunned people made everyone talk about it, and most people thought that the three stunned people were too stupid.
Meng Zitao also felt a little strange about this, because he had just felt that the three stunned people were a little moved, why didn't he sell it?
At this time, an eldest lady came over with something in her hand: "I have something here, which my old man dug out of the ground, how about you take a look?"
As she spoke, she handed the thing directly to Meng Zitao's hand.
Meng Zitao looked down, and his heart suddenly became surprised, because this was the best thing he had seen today.
This is a copper Rui beast ornament, its surface is mottled, and there are green copper embroidery spots in many places on the body. The beast was bent on all fours, with its chest held high, its eyes wide and bright, its ears swinging back, its beard curled, its mouth closed, and its expression solemn. The whole body is decorated with striped geometric patterns with wrong silver techniques, and the style is simple and chic.
The wrong gold and silver craft originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, and its purpose was to beautify the utensils with two different lusters of different lusters. This craft began in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, prevailed in the Warring States period, and gradually declined after the Western Han Dynasty. However, it began to be seen more often on the antiques of the Song and Ming dynasties, which was probably intentional at the time.
Judging from the shape of the divine beast and the wrong gold and silver craftsmanship used, this Rui Beast ornament must not have been made during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is likely to be a product of the early Ming Dynasty or earlier. But even so, if it is genuine, the market value is more than ten or two hundred thousand, which is already very precious.
