Chapter IV: Authority

At the same time, Li Xi couldn't help but ask again: "Boss, can you accept it here?"

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment before he said, "Fifty yuan each, if you are willing to sell it, I will buy all three." ”

Fifty bucks?

Li Xi was a little moved, he had already asked more than a dozen, and the dozen or so in front of him only paid five yuan at most. Although the price of this shopkeeper is not very high, compared with the previous dozen or so, it has suddenly increased tenfold.

But after all, this is money grown on a cash cow, not to mention its own value, just this rarity, it is really sold for fifty yuan, how can Li Xi be willing?

"Fifty yuan is too cheap, boss, look at this texture, each one is unique......" Li Xi took a copper coin and introduced it without giving up.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said earnestly: "Little brother, this kind of imitation is worthless. I also saw that its texture was quite special, so it was only opened to fifty pieces. If you change to another house, you may not be willing to buy it for five yuan. ”

The boss was telling the truth, but Li Xi was still unwilling. He thought about it for a moment and decided to leave. Shaking his head, he turned and left.

The shopkeeper just smiled and didn't open his mouth to stop Li Xi.

Seeing that Li Xi had walked to the door, the old man who had been looking at the vase came over and asked the shopkeeper, "What copper coin?"

The shopkeeper said casually: "The imitation is good, mainly because the texture on it is more exquisite." ”

"Oh!" the old man said 'oh', his eyes lit up, and he seemed to be quite interested in the texture that the shopkeeper said, and glanced at Li Xi's back, seeing that Li Xi had already walked to the door, and hurriedly called, "Young man, come back and let me see your copper coins, okay?"

Li Xi said angrily: "Fifty yuan a piece is not for sale." ”

"Hehe!" the old man smiled and said indifferently: "If it's really a good thing, why not buy it at a high price?"

The shopkeeper also followed: "Little brother, Mr. Li is a famous connoisseur in our city, come back and let him take a look, I can't lose you." If your stuff is really good, it can't run out of his eyes. ”

Li Xi reluctantly walked back, walked closer, saw the old man clearly, and was stunned for a moment, "Are you ......?"

The old man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"Hehe!" the old man smiled modestly.

The shopkeeper smiled and asked Li Xi, "Recognize it?"

"It looks familiar. Li Xi told the truth.

The shopkeeper glanced at the old man, and when he saw the old man nodding, he introduced: "Have you ever seen the show of cultural relics appreciation?"

"Ahh

The program of cultural relics appreciation has only appeared in recent years. It is mainly to popularize some basic cultural relics identification methods and systematically introduce various ancient cultural relics. Especially just in time for the collection boom in recent years, so it was very popular as soon as it was broadcast.

In this program, the invitees to introduce are basically experts and professors in the field of antiques or archaeology. Li Zonglin is one of the guests, and he is the one who has been doing it for the longest time.

Li Xi had watched this show before, but he was purely a novelty and had no intention of learning about cultural relics identification.

The old man had a kind smile on his face.

The shopkeeper nodded and said with a smile: "Since you know, why don't you take it out, let Li Lao take a look? ”

"Then trouble Mr. Li. Li Xi is also happy.

This Li Zonglin is definitely an authority in the antique world, and with him helping him to palm his eyes, maybe he can really see something.

As for the copper coins growing from a cash cow, Li Xi is not worried about being known by the other party. Li Zonglin is an antique expert, not a criminal investigation expert, how could he guess that he has a cash cow through a few copper coins?

What's more, things like cash cows are originally myths and legends. Even if he directly tells the other party that he has a cash cow, will he believe it?

At that moment, he took out the three copper coins on his body again and handed them to Li Zonglin to see.

Li Zonglin picked up the three copper coins one by one, looked at them over and over again, and whispered: "'The sky is round and the place is round', it is interesting." ”

Then he took a closer look and looked closely, and after just a few glances, there was a puzzled look on his face. After thinking for a moment, he took out a magnifying glass from his body and looked at the copper coin.

Li Xi stared at the other party's movements, and his heart was pounding. Li Zonglin's movements, he could see at a glance, and knew that the other party was looking at the texture on the copper coin.

These textures are actually the leaf veins of the cash tree, and after they are ripe, the leaves turn into copper coins, but the leaf veins do not disappear. Li Zonglin pays so much attention to the leaf vein, could it be that there is something special about this leaf vein?

Li Zonglin took a magnifying glass, looked at the three copper coins, and looked at it for at least ten minutes before taking it off. The look was solemn and thoughtful.

"Old Li, have you found anything?" The shopkeeper also looked at Li Zonglin expectantly, and when he saw him take off the magnifying glass, he hurriedly asked.

Li Zonglin was not in a hurry to answer the shopkeeper's words, and said directly to Li Xi: "Young man, can you wait here for a while? I'll make a call and ask someone to send something over." ”

And looking at the old man's expression, he must have found something, and immediately agreed: "Yes, Mr. Li, please do it." ”

"You still have these three copper coins. Li Zonglin returned the three copper coins to Li Xi, and then walked aside to make a phone call.

After a while, he called back and said politely to Li Xi: "I'm sorry for you, young man, someone will come in a while." ”

Li Xi said politely casually.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but ask Li Zonglin, "Elder Li, what did you find?"

Li Zonglin's expression was solemn, "It's hard to say for the time being, I won't know until something comes." ”

"Oh!" The shopkeeper immediately stopped asking when he heard this, but he couldn't help but glance at Li Xi with a strange expression.

Li Xi's heart became more and more expectant, and he waited quietly.

Li Zonglin was obviously a little anxious, walked to the door, and looked outside.

When Li Xi saw this, he became more and more sure in his heart, feeling that this old man must have discovered something.

After about ten minutes, I suddenly heard the sound of a car and a car stopped at the door. When Li Zonglin saw this car, he was obviously in good spirits.

Li Xi couldn't help but look at the car, the door opened, and a man in his thirties walked out of the car, saw Li Zonglin, and shouted, "Dad!"

Li Zonglin asked directly: "Did you bring the things?"

"Here I am. The man turned around and took out a paper tube about half a meter long from the car.

"Give it to me. Li Zonglin didn't wait for the man to approach, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the paper tube in his hand. While walking towards the store, he greeted Li Xi, "Young man, come here, show me your copper coins again." ”
