Text Chapter 150 The Turmoil in the Antique City
Hearing that Zhang Huaitu was going to the antique market, Commander Wu asked: "Do you want to find someone to accompany you, I'm afraid that if you buy a fake, you can still talk about it, after all, there are some local snakes and the like here, if they find out that you are from other places, they will sell you something, and people who don't understand it are easy to be trapped." ”
Hearing Commander Wu's words, Zhang Huaitu shook his head and refused, and asked: "Then they can't buy and sell by force, I saw some on TV, if you sign up for a group tour, there will be a tour guide who will do this, and I will be alone because something similar will not happen." ”
"That won't, since you don't need it, but you have to be careful, it's not like the Central Plains, there are more ethnic minorities here, because of national policies, you can't cover everything, in general, the situation is more complicated, if there is any problem, call me." "Commander Wu didn't say too much, the Great Northwest is special, as long as the point is reached.
Zhang Huaitu nodded and knew that he borrowed a car from Commander Wu, fortunately it was not a military vehicle, otherwise the impact would not be very good, the antique market Zhang Huaitu is still a very familiar place, although there are a little differences across the country, but the overall is still the same, the things sold are books, and the antiques are some ancient coins, calligraphy and paintings, old jade and other messy things.
Zhang Huaitu drove all the way forward according to the instructions on the map, and after half an hour's drive, he saw a magnificent antique building with five gilded characters: Ganlan Antique City. Looking at this, it's actually not small, Zhang Huaitu found a place to stop the car.
It's been two days since I've been here, and it's impossible to stay in the barracks all the time, although I don't need these things much now, and it's possible if I meet the right one. Walking on the street of antiques, it is generally the elderly who come here, and the young people are busy earning money to buy houses and cars, so how can they have time to visit here.
Take Ma Wenkai casually in the antique market in Ganlan City, purely to pass the time, take a look, there is nothing you want, not to mention that the antique market here is much larger than Sutong City, when you are in Sutong City, you can finish shopping in about half an hour, but it has been walking here for nearly half an hour, and there is no end in sight, and it feels like it is still in the middle of the antique market.
When I walked to a grocery store, I saw that there were some antiques inside, this one sells quite a complete range of things, all kinds of things go east, as small as jade wrenches, as large as all kinds of blue and white porcelain placed in the store, when Zhang Huaitu came in, there were two customers in the store, a middle-aged man, it seemed that the middle-aged man was the boss.
A variety of antique cultural toys are dazzling, attracting the attention of many visitors
After the boss saw Zhang Huaitu and Ma Wenkai come in, he sat on the stool and didn't stand up, but only said one sentence, "The guest officer looks at it at will, there is a price on it, you can ask me if you have any questions, we don't guarantee the authenticity, after all, we bought it, if there is really anything, you can screen it yourself." ”
"Boss, can this ornament be cheaper?" the customer asked about an ornament, which is an ornament placed in the house.
Hearing someone ask the price, the boss finally stood up, looked at a tree-like ornament from the customer, and said, "Give you 50 yuan cheaper, 550 yuan and take it." “
"500 is okay, if I can, I'll take it. "The buyer was a woman, who looked to be in her early thirties, and she was very well maintained. Because the weather was already a little cold, I was wearing a pale yellow windbreaker. It seems that he is also a rich man, but because he is a woman, he habitually bargains.
After some negotiations, the 500 yuan was finally taken away, and the woman walked out of the door with a victorious smile, and the owner of the antique shop also secretly smiled.
After the woman left, there were only two people left in the store, Zhang Huaitu and Ma Wenkai. The boss took a look at Zhang Huaitu, his face was delicate, his face was kind, he was wearing ordinary clothes, he knew that he was a student, so he didn't care about Zhang Huaitu, thinking that Zhang Huaitu was just looking at it casually, not like he was buying something. Looking at Ma Wenkai, he also looks like a wooden belt and a wooden belt, just a strange combination, the boss thought to himself.
Because the things are relatively complete, Zhang Huaitu looked at it slowly, didn't care about the boss's opinion at all, and finally looked at it for a while and saw a blue and white porcelain. Although it may not be of much use to himself, this is indeed a genuine product, and it is still a treasure, which dynasty it is, Zhang Huaitu can't see it.
"Boss, how is this sold?" Other goods have prices marked, but this one doesn't, so Zhang Huaitu asked.
"Little brother, are you sure you want to buy this? This is the treasure of our town store, don't you see that I don't have a price?" The boss didn't expect Zhang Huaitu to ask this, thinking that Zhang Huaitu was also a person who couldn't afford it, and it was in vain to ask.
"Oh, it turned out to be the treasure of the town store, I see that there are a few over there that are not priced, are they all good things, are they all treasures of the town store?" Zhang Huaitu pointed to a few things in the most room and asked.
"That's the same thing, these things are the customers themselves bid, and if I feel like I can, I'll agree. After the boss casually glanced at the other things that Zhang Huaitu pointed to, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then he said how to sell them.
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Huaitu felt a little interesting, in this way, if the customer said high, he could make more money, and if he said less, he didn't have to sell.
"How about 10,000, do you sell it or not?" Zhang Huaitu plans to buy this thing and give it to his family, if he sends the money directly, it will be too abrupt, and he will be asked questions.
Although he knew that it was genuine, Zhang Huaitu thought that it was just a porcelain, and it was already very high to buy it for 10,000 yuan.
As a result, after listening to Zhang Huaitu's offer, the boss shook his head directly and said: "Mr. didn't have the sincerity to buy it, the price was tens of thousands a few years ago, and the current price is at least 300,000, you give 10,000 now, I don't understand this thing too much." ”
I already despised Zhang Huaitu, but now I look down on him even more. If you can buy an antique casually, then what do you want to collect, just collect the money.
Zhang Huaitu was about to ask if he could sell it, when a person came in from outside in a panic, a man in his early thirties, after entering the house, he saw the shopkeeper and said eagerly: "Oh no, I saw that person." ”
Seeing his son so flustered, the shopkeeper looked confused. I didn't know what was going on, so I asked in a low voice, "Who did you see?" Why are you so flustered, it's like something big has happened? ”
The boss whispered, just afraid that Zhang Huaitu would hear it. They definitely don't know that Zhang Huaitu has "tailwind ears"
Both of them were talking in a low voice, and when they heard their father ask, the man whispered: "It was a year ago that we found the treasure of our town store, the blue and white porcelain, the old farmer who sold it to us, I saw him on the street just now, and he also seemed to see me, and looked at me twice." ”
"It's really fake? It can't be such a coincidence, it was all a year ago, how can he still remember you. "The shopkeeper made a guess that it was impossible to recognize.
Zhang Huaitu knew that the blue and white porcelain that the two people were talking about should be what he had just seen, it sounded like the two people bought it from an old farmer, so he didn't know what the price was when he bought it, Zhang Huaitu guessed that it should not be high, it was estimated to be five hundred yuan, otherwise the two of them would not be so flustered.
"Father, you forgot, we bought it at a very low price at that time, I just saw him look at me, as if he wanted to stop me, he didn't want to regret it, after all, the price difference between the two is too big, and no one can accept it. The man was still very upset, thinking that the old farmer had recognized him.
When the shopkeeper wanted to speak, he suddenly saw a familiar figure coming at the door, and the man followed his father's gaze and looked out, his face was gray, and sure enough, the old farmer had come in.
The shopkeeper and the man hadn't spoken yet,
The old farmer spoke, "I'm sorry, I finally found you," the old man was dressed in shabby, and some thin cotton jackets, although the weather was not very cold at this time, but it still gave people a pitiful look, when the old farmer spoke, he took out a wrapped red plastic bag into his arms, and continued: "This is the 1,000 yuan I asked you for last time, last time because my son was sick and urgently needed money, I had to deceive you at that time." ”
Looking at the old farmer's sincere eyes, a little guilt appeared on the shopkeeper's face.
Zhang Huaitu, who was standing next to him, didn't know what happened, but it seemed to be different from what he guessed.
The old farmer saw that the shopkeeper did not take the money in his hand, and thought that the other party had forgotten, so he continued: "Have you forgotten, that is, last year, when you went to my house for the second time, and after seeing me, you asked me if I had any porcelain, and I said no, and you picked up a plate with food, but suddenly a dog rushed out, and you were so frightened that you fell the plate to the ground and broke it. At that time, you asked me how much the plate was, and you wanted to pay me, and I just stretched out my finger to tell you that the plate was 1 yuan, and you gave me 1,000 yuan at once. I was waiting for money to pay for my son's medical treatment, so I acquiesced. Since then, I have been looking for an opportunity to explain this to you, but unfortunately you did not leave your contact information and did not visit our village. ”
The old farmer briefly explained the process of the matter. Suddenly, the old farmer saw the porcelain beside Zhang Huaitu, and after being stunned for a moment, he said happily: "This is the porcelain you bought from me for 10 yuan, I will say that this is not important, you see, it's been a year now, and you haven't sold it yet." ”
