Chapter 171: Harvest

Mozi Bridge, antique market. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Zhuo hadn't been here for a long time, thinking of the good times when he and Mo Xuan came to hang out and buy birthday gifts for her grandfather, Xu Zhuo couldn't help but be slightly intoxicated.

He also went to the store where he bought the gift that day and revisited it again, but unfortunately, it was not for a long time, but it was no longer a person, and Mo Xuan at this moment was far away from the ocean, and he didn't know what he was doing. Anyway, the time over there is different from here, so I guess I haven't gotten up yet.

Although Xu Zhuo and Mo Xuan have WeChat to contact, and occasionally make transatlantic calls and make phone porridge, after all, they are thousands of miles apart, and they can't see each other, so they will panic. Moreover, Mo Xuan is so beautiful and captivating, it is inevitable that he will be hooked up by some crazy bees and butterflies over there, which makes Xu Zhuo feel insecure!

Most people in love have a sense of gain and loss, thinking of this, Xu Zhuo couldn't help but feel slightly upset.

It was already April and May, and it was already a stuffy bath at night, Xu Zhuo walked out, stood on the street, and took a deep breath of the fresh air above the lake blown by the evening breeze, and then felt a little refreshed.

He walked all the way, all the way to see, the "treasure appreciation" ability of the Divine Pupil Technique kept urging, and along the way he saw several valuable antiques, but unfortunately, they were all treasures of some big stores, and the price was quite high, with his financial resources, it was impossible to buy them all, even if he bought one of them, there was not much profit to be made. Xu Zhuo thinks that it is better to pick up the leaks!

The hard work pays off, this antique market is bustling, there are a lot of goods, about an hour later, he finally found a good bronze sword on a stall, it should be a thing of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, mixed with a bunch of old imitations, even experts are difficult to pick out at a glance, but in Xu Zhuo's eyes, although this bronze sword is rusty, but it exudes a bright blue light, like a candle flame in the dark.

Moreover, the price is also good, the other party only offered a price of 1,000 yuan, and Xu Zhuo tried his best to speak, and it was 750 transactions! This must be counteroffered, otherwise, the stall owner is very shrewd, and if it is too refreshing, it will arouse the suspicion of the other party.

When Xu Zhuo took the bronze short sword and left, the stall owner was still sneering contemptuously behind his back, and his heart was secretly refreshed, feeling that he had slaughtered a fat pig again!

Xu Zhuo walked a little farther away and got out of the sight of the stall owner, only then did he snap his fingers and flick it lightly, and the originally rusty bronze sword actually made a soft sound of "Zheng", Xu Zhuo couldn't help but squint his eyes, he was in a good mood, and said secretly: "I didn't expect it to be a sword!

He slipped the bronze dagger into his backpack and continued his stroll, and once he had started, good fortune followed, and soon after, he found a good object in a pile of ancient coins, an extremely rare three-hole cloth.

It is a kind of ancient Chinese coin, formerly known as "three-hole cloth", cast in the late Warring States period about the 3rd century B.C., the shape of the round head, round shoulder, round foot, round crotch, the unique feature is, the cloth head and two feet each have a round hole, so called "three-hole cloth", the face text is mostly the life of the earth, the back text has the weight of the discipline and the value of the text, divided into two types of size, each cloth is weighed by "two" and "Zhu", the big cloth is 5.5 centimeters long, weighs 8 grams, the back text "twelve Zhu" is half a tael, the size of the cloth value is exactly 2:1. Three-hole cloth casting Seiko, peculiar shape, good and beautiful, handed down and unearthed the number is very small, so far only dozens of pieces are hidden in the country, one of the "fifty treasures" of China's ancient money.

The three-hole cloth that Xu Zhuo obtained, with the inscription "Xia Yiyang" and the back text "Seventeen Two", was even more rusty than the bronze sword, and it was so rotten that it was simply not the same, if it weren't for Xu Zhuo's good eyesight, I am afraid that he would not be able to see the inscription clearly. Xu Zhuo once saw this thing in an ancient book in the library, which was the old collection of Zhang Tingji, a goldsmith in the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of the Qing Dynasty, compiled by Ding Fubao and annotated by Ma Dingxiang.

The value of this kind of "famous in history" is naturally self-evident.

Moreover, Xu Zhuo could see that this was definitely an original, not an imitation, and he was keenly aware of the high value of this coin! Immediately, he spent three hundred oceans to buy about forty or fifty of these ancient coins stacked together!

In fact, this is just a cover-up, what Xu Zhuo really wants to buy is the three-hole cloth. The others are in better condition, because they are old imitations, they are not worth mentioning at all, and they are far less rare and precious than this three-hole cloth.

Xu Zhuo got two "treasures", and was about to make persistent efforts to continue to search for the third one, and then, he saw an acquaintance, who was born tall and big, full of 1.8 meters, two black and yellow tiger teeth protruding, his face was full of meat, his nose was still collapsed, he looked really fierce and ugly, and he was also "very eye-catching" in the crowd.

Although Xu Zhuo is also 1.8 meters, compared to the other party, his face is much more delicate!

"Hmm, this guy is negotiating with someone and wants to rent the other party's shop?" Xu Zhuo walked over there, and happened to hear a few words, it turned out that Gao Meng was negotiating with the store to discuss the transfer fee, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, this guy wants to open a store?

Although Gao Meng also studied medicine, Xu Zhuo knew that this guy was not a doctor, and his heart was not in medicine. In fact, Xu Zhuo doubted whether this guy could get a graduation certificate, but people didn't seem to care. Everyone has their own ambitions, and Xu Zhuo doesn't have much to say. After all, they are all adults, and everyone is very assertive.

Xu Zhuo strode over and said hello to Gao Meng, Gao Meng was also quite happy to see his classmate and roommate, and last time Xu Zhuo took him to make a fortune, and helped him solve the trouble of a "gang" boss, he was very grateful to Xu Zhuo, faintly, and quite a little "dependent".

Gao Meng's fancy shop has a very small area, less than ten square meters, but the rent is expensive, more than 6,000 a month, and the transfer fee is 80,000!

The rent is not enough, after all, the flow of people in the antique market is here, not far from the scenic spot and several lively pedestrian streets, plus some treasure appreciation programs, and the antique market is also very popular, but the transfer fee Xu Zhuo feels that it is slightly expensive!

Because, most of the things in the other party's store were ordinary goods, Xu Zhuo used the "Treasure Appreciation" ability to scan, but did not find the kind that could emit "treasure light", so he picked a few faults and helped Gao Meng lower the price, and in the end, the transfer fee was talked about to the early 60,000s, a price acceptable to both parties.

However, the remaining lease period of the shopkeeper is only eight months, and after these eight months, he will have to sign a new contract with the owner, and the rent will be paid directly to the owner at that time. Xu Zhuo was afraid that the landlord would change his mind and temporarily increase the rent or something, which would be unpleasant, so he urged the store to call the owner, and it was best to ask the owner to come and sign a contract.

However, the landlord is not in Hangzhou, which is not very convenient, but the other party also said on the phone that the renewal of the contract in eight months is still at the original price, and it is guaranteed that the rent will not be increased within two years. But Gao Meng must rent for at least two years, otherwise he will have to charge more money at that time!

Gao Meng felt that it was acceptable, it was not bad, and he may have just made a small fortune recently, and it was quite refreshing to give the money, so he signed the contract on the spot and settled the full amount on the spot.

Privately, Gao Meng said to Xu Zhuo that he would use this shop for at least three years! If he was not careful, and the business was really good, he would not abandon this shop, but would open another bigger one! In the future, he will always adopt this rolling mode and strive to open the shop in the capital as soon as possible! Because, it is said, the antique market in the capital is more prosperous, and there are more opportunities to make money!

In the face of the other party's ambition, Xu Zhuo could only congratulate!

"It's rare to meet today, you have helped me so much, let's go, I'll invite you to dinner and sing!" Gao Meng excitedly patted Xu Zhuo's shoulder, leaned over and lowered his voice, "Dude, I recently met a group of girls from the art academy, all of them are soft and cute, and they can also play cosplay, you are more beautiful than me, maybe you can hook up with one!"

Gao Meng immersed himself in antiques all day long, pickled girls, and didn't know about Xu Zhuo and Mo Xuan, seeing Xu Zhuo coming to shop alone so late, he thought that Xu Zhuo was generally a single dog with him!
