Chapter 165: Pingshui Meets
The hostess of this household must have sold the antiques in the wooden box before, and at this moment, seeing that Zhao Ming chose a jade pendant and a jade bracelet, she guessed that Zhao Ming must be an expert.
"What about this jade pendant, I count you as 100,000, as for this jade bracelet, I have been wearing it before, if you really want it, then give 50,000!" the hostess said with a smile.
For the hostess's asking price, Zhao Ming felt that it was very reasonable, looking around the family, it was obvious that the hostess was a widow, and it was very likely that she was childless and daughterless, precisely because of this, from some facilities at home, it could not be seen that the hostess was a person who liked to enjoy modern life.
At this moment, Zhao Ming learned from the hostess's mouth that the jasper bracelet had been worn on the hand of the hostess in front of him before, no wonder Zhao Ming didn't feel the too strong aura just now.
Based on Zhao Ming's previous experience, the jade jasper bracelet in front of him is more valuable than the jade pendant, if it is placed at the level of research, the jade pendant is naturally more valuable than the jade bracelet.
"If 100,000 yuan is okay, I will buy all of them!" Zhao Ming heard the hostess say that she had been wearing the jade bracelet before, and the price was instantly lowered.
When the hostess heard Zhao Ming say this, the expression on her face was a little embarrassed, and she looked particularly hesitant, and after a while, the hostess smiled and said: "120,000, if you give 120,000, these two things will belong to you, less 120,000, then this deal will naturally not be negotiated, young man, you can see for yourself." ”
The middle-aged man who brought Zhao Ming originally wanted to say something, but he didn't say it for a long time, Zhao Ming pretended to hesitate, and didn't say what he really thought in his mind, it stands to reason that the asking price of this hostess is not high, and 120,000 yuan is really normal, but Zhao Ming still hopes to buy these two things for 100,000 yuan.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when Zhao Ming thought there was no hope, the hostess of the household said with a smile: "100,000 is 100,000, anyway, it's been in this box for a long time, but it's been sold like this for a while, and I really feel a little reluctant in my heart." ”
Zhao Ming took out the 100,000 yuan in cash in his backpack, and then handed it to the hostess in front of him, the hostess counted the money with the middle-aged man who came with Zhao Ming, for these, Zhao Ming also felt very normal, after all, this is 100,000 yuan, not a small amount, or carefully count it is more reassuring.
The time to wait for the two to count the money is particularly long, Zhao Ming seems to feel that a long century has passed, and Zhao Ming is very happy to have such a harvest when he comes to Mincheng Ancient Town this time.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the two finally counted the money, and the middle-aged man chatted with the hostess of the household for a long time before deciding to leave with Zhao Ming.
The hostess went out to see her off, and she smiled and said, "I want to go to the town to buy some clothes in a few days, why don't you go with me, big brother?"
The middle-aged man who came with Zhao Ming is also single now, so he naturally readily agreed, and Zhao Ming could see that the expression on his face was particularly excited.
"Okay, then you can go to my house to find me!" After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he looked at the amorous hostess in front of him excitedly.
"Okay, then you can hurry up and take this young man back, I haven't slept all afternoon, and I'm sleepy now. After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she closed the door of the wooden house shyly.
On the way back, the middle-aged man didn't talk to Zhao Ming all the time, as if he had something on his mind, but he looked very happy, and he always had a smile on his face. It can be seen that the man in front of him must be a taciturn man, maybe he is immersed in happiness at the moment.
When he returned to the middle-aged man's home, it was almost evening, Zhao Ming returned to the small wooden house where he lived before, packed up the jade pendant and jade bracelet he bought, and then lay on the bed to rest, and could vaguely hear the college student couple coming back from outside, chatting with the white-haired grandmother in the front cabin, and from time to time there was a silver bell-like laughter wafting out of the room.
After dinner, the college student couple found Zhao Ming, and the boy smiled and said, "We decided to leave here tomorrow, do you think you will continue to stay here, or leave with us?"
Zhao Ming thought about it, it has been two days since he came to Mincheng Ancient Town, it's time to go back, I hope not to run into those talents sent by Shen Tianming, instead of walking through this bamboo forest alone, it is better to be with the two of them, so that there is a good response on the way.
"Let's go back together. We'll leave together tomorrow morning. Zhao Ming said with a smile, the boy came back after sending the girl back to the room, and saw Zhao Ming sitting there looking at the phone, the boy looked curious.
"As soon as this mobile phone enters the bamboo forest, there will be no network, is it possible that your mobile phone still has a network?" Facing the boy's doubts, Zhao Ming smiled helplessly, you must know that Zhao Ming's mobile phone also has no network at this moment.
So Zhao Ming started chatting with the boy he lived with, after all, there was no mobile phone signal here, and there was nothing else to do, so chatting became the only way to pass the boring time.
Sad chat, Zhao Ming learned that the boys and girls are currently students of the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts, learning painting and production, this time to sketch in the ancient town of Mincheng, it is also a whim, after all, in the past two years, the ancient town of Mincheng has attracted a lot of tourists to come, and most of them are just on the long street of the town for a day, the same day, the same day will go back, few people will walk through the bamboo forest, to explore the aborigines living here.
It is precisely because of this that these two college lovers want to come to Mincheng Ancient Town to sketch, and by the way, show the life of the aborigines and the surrounding environment to other people through painting sketches, so that everyone can have a further understanding of the mysterious aborigines of Mincheng Ancient Town.
Zhao Ming saw clearly through the flashlight on his mobile phone, the grandmother on the paper was sitting there, smiling very kindly, and the nearby scenery was also very vivid, which shocked Zhao Ming.
"I believe that your paintings will definitely win awards!" Zhao Ming said sincerely.
"I hope I can borrow your good words, and if I do win, then I can use the prize money to buy my girlfriend's favorite celebrity running shoes!" said the boy proudly.
Zhao Ming found out that these college students, like himself, are also useful for the food and clothing of TV stars, so interested, but in order to buy running shoes for his girlfriend, he can go to Mincheng Ancient Town to explore, for contemporary youth, this spirit is also very valuable. Zhao Ming chatted with the boy who came with him for a long time, and both of them fell asleep unconsciously.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ming woke up early, at this time the boy who lived in a small wooden house with him had not woken up, Zhao Ming found that the middle-aged man in the household had chopped a load of firewood on the nearby mountain and came back, seeing Zhao Ming get up so early, the man greeted Zhao Ming warmly.
"Why did you wake up so early today, but you didn't sleep well last night?" the middle-aged man looked at Zhao Ming and asked with a humble face.
"I've been living in your house for the past two days, and although this money is not much, it is also a little bit of our heart. Zhao Ming said as he handed a thousand yuan to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man said he didn't want anything, but Zhao Ming felt that if people didn't accept it, then he would be a little unhappy, so he persuaded him: "When do you go to the town, buy something delicious for grandma, this is a little bit of our heart." ”
Seeing Zhao Ming's insistence, the middle-aged man accepted the money, but he didn't know that the money was given to him by Zhao Ming alone, not to mention that in Zhao Ming's eyes, the two college student couples are now coming here to sketch, and naturally they don't have much money on them, and now that they are working, they are naturally capable, so when they give money, they naturally say "us"
When the two student couples got up, the middle-aged man had already made breakfast, and after the three of them finished breakfast, they decided to leave, and the middle-aged man smiled and said: "There are more snakes in this bamboo forest, especially in this season, for the sake of safety, why don't I send you out." ”
For what the middle-aged man said, the college student couple who was with Zhao Ming was a little surprised, but Zhao Ming knew very well that the middle-aged man in front of him had received Zhao Ming a thousand yuan, and naturally hoped to do more for them.
Several people waited in the room, and half an hour later, the middle-aged man's daughter and son-in-law came with two children, settling the old man to the children, and the middle-aged man took Zhao Ming and the others towards the bamboo forest.
After walking for a whole morning, it was not until about one o'clock in the afternoon that the three of them came out of the bamboo forest, Zhao Ming once again expressed his gratitude to the middle-aged man, and at this moment Zhao Ming's heart was somewhat sad.
In this life, many times in the life of those passers-by who appear in a hurry, maybe everyone is still chatting happily together at this moment, moving each other, but in an instant, in the long dozens of rooms, it is very likely that there will be no intersection again, and this side is also very likely to be the last side of this life.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'll come back to the house when I have time in the future!"
"I will definitely go if I have the chance...... the three of them said in unison, watching the middle-aged man in front of them walk towards the depths of the bamboo forest, until they disappeared, the three of them turned around and walked towards the long street of the town.
Although they didn't speak to each other, everyone knew very well in their hearts that the future would be an unknown for everyone, not to mention that everyone met in Pingshui, and there were not many opportunities to meet in the future.
On the long street of the ancient town, Zhao Ming walked side by side with the college student couple around him, and the three of them decided to buy tickets and leave......
