The night is dark, and the lights are dim

The dim light reflected on the street, making the night thicker, the cold wind whistling, but making the night more silent, Xu Dongjin dragged a long figure, walking alone on the side of the street, his steps were slow and heavy.

Suddenly, the phone rang...

Xu Dongjin frowned, supported his body with one hand, and then pressed the answer button, and a soft and slightly weak sound came from the other end: "Dongjin, where are you?"

"You can rest early, don't wait for me, I may go back later. Xu Dongjin showed a touch of tenderness on his face, and he himself didn't know when Shu Qi lived in his heart.

"Oh well..."

Shu Qi is an empathetic woman, otherwise, she would not have taken care of Xu Dongjin without complaint for four years, and finally took him out of that haze.

The two of them are college classmates, and the relationship has been in a state of "friends and lovers", after graduation, the two went their separate ways, although they often had contact, but they never met, Xu Dongjin couldn't understand why she didn't stay in Nanjiang together.

Until four years ago, Xu Dongjin was frustrated in love, and his originally happy marriage was broken, in those days, he borrowed wine every day to kill his sorrows, and lived in a muddy way, Shu Qi heard about his situation at that time, and left his job without hesitation, returned to Nanjiang, and began to take care of him patiently and enlighten him.

It was Shu Qi who accompanied him through the most difficult days.

The emotions of the past can only be buried deep in the heart.

He didn't want to lose it again, and he didn't want to experience that kind of heartache again, so Xu Dongjin decided to confess and spend the rest of his life to make up for the debt in his heart.

……

Xu Dongjin is now located in the suburbs of the city, familiar with the road to the "Octopus" opened "Bamboo Garden", here is a restaurant, "Octopus" opened a restaurant during the day, and set up a barbecue stall at night, the food of "Bamboo Garden" is delicious, the price is also very affordable, and the store is also very hygienic, so the business of "Bamboo Garden" has always been very good.

"Octopus" loves bamboo, and this is the origin of the name "Bamboo Garden", which is very meaningful.

"Octopus, Ah Heng is inside?"

The "octopus" in Xu Dongjin's mouth is a homonym for the name "Zhang Yu", which is a cordial title between brothers.

At this time, Zhang Yu was in full swing, and when he saw Xu Dongjin coming, he immediately threw down the things in his hand and said: "You kid is finally here, Ah Heng is in a hurry, you go in quickly, and when I finish my work, I will go to you immediately." ”

Xu Dongjin nodded and went straight to the private room.

"Squeak..."

Pushing open the door, Lin Heng and a middle-aged man were chatting casually.

"Dongjin, why did you come so late?" Seeing that Xu Dongjin finally came, Lin Heng stopped the topic and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Something happened to the company and it was delayed. Xu Dongjin was also very helpless, and as soon as he was busy, he came to the "Bamboo Garden" non-stop.

"Dongjin, let me introduce you, this is Zhang Shumin, Mr. Zhang. Lin Heng said that he could understand Xu Dongjin's explanation, after all, he had always been a busy man.

"It's a blessing. ”

Immediately after, the two of them shook hands together.

Zhang Shumin behaved very kindly, squinted his eyes and said: "I'm crazy about how old you are, if Dongjin doesn't dislike it, just call me brother." ”

Zhang Shumin is kind and kind-eyed, if he were an ordinary person, he would probably be deceived by his appearance, but Xu Dongjin was different, and he could see at a glance that he was very deep in the city, but he still smiled and called "Brother", he still understands the way of behaving in the world.

"Brother, let's take a look at the goods first. ”

Zhang Shumin opened two brocade boxes, took out a wood carving, and a hairpin, and began to introduce: "These two things, are more than ten years ago, I bought from the countryside, you see, this wood carving Guanyin is boxwood carving, and this hairpin, although the origin is unknown, but it is also a boutique." ”

Xu Dongjin listened and nodded, first of all, this wood carving Guanyin, including texture, as well as color, is in line with the characteristics of boxwood carving in all aspects, and the carving is also fine, and the pulp is thick, but it belongs to a fine product.

Boxwood carving is one of the traditional folk carving arts in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, using boxwood as the carving material, using the boxwood wood smooth, delicate texture, solemn color of the natural form material.

Let's talk about the second hairpin.

I saw that the hairpin was green all over, the hairpin body was carved with a lifelike colorful phoenix, a snow lotus bloomed quietly on the hairpin, and there was a lotus seed-like pendant, which was elegant and dusty.

"Brother, how is it, is there anything you are satisfied with?" Seeing that he had seen almost, Zhang Shumin began to ask.

"What is the price of the hairpin?" Xu Dongjin was a little moved at the first sight of the hairpin, and after careful consideration, he decided to buy it, the purpose of his coming here was to find a birthday gift for Shu Qi, this hairpin is just right.

Shu Qi likes antiques, he knows it very well.

I believe she will be satisfied with this hairpin.

"My brother won't go around in circles with you, 100,000, no two prices, if I change to someone else, I will sell 150,000. Zhang Shumin said that he himself likes these two things very much, if it weren't for the company's mistakes and the need for funds, he would never have been able to sell them.

"Brother, I believe Ah Heng also told you, I'm just a small clerk, the price of 100,000 is indeed a bit expensive, I have 70,000 now, if we can, we can trade immediately." Xu Dongjin sneered in his heart, he is not so easy to fool, this hairpin, the market price is up to 80,000, and he proposed 70,000, which is actually very face-saving.

Because of his growing environment, Xu Dongjin still has some research on antiques.

"Just let me sell my brother a face, 70,000 is 70,000. Zhang Shumin was shocked, you must know that the estimate given by the experts at the beginning was 70,000, which is exactly the same as what Xu Dongjin said, if it weren't for the coincidence... That can only show that the other party is a knowledgeable person.

At this price, he can accept it.

So, I agreed.

Now that the deal has been reached, Xu Dongjin naturally immediately transfers money.

"It's getting late, so the old brother will take his leave, and we'll meet again another day. After exchanging contact information, Zhang Shumin left satisfied, and the remaining wood carving Guanyin was much better than the hairpin, and naturally there was no shortage of gold owners.

……

Lin Heng asked with some doubts: "That boxwood carving is good, why don't you take it all in one?" If you change hands again, you can at least make a difference." ”

"It was a fake, although it was the same as boxwood in luster and texture, but it was not a real boxwood carving, and the real one would be slightly heavier. "He had seen a real boxwood carving of Guanyin, so he dared to assert it.
