Chapter 79: Opening (Third Watch)
Old man Tang watched Xia Li come in with a broken basket and looked at it curiously, Xia Li put the basket on the counter, and sat lazily on the wooden stool in front of the counter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Old Man Tang pulled down the basket in the counter, and then pulled it down again, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he held a palm-sized wooden carving carved into a rocking chair wooden horse in his hand in disbelief.
The fat nose came up all the way, sniffed and sniffed, and there was a faint fragrance that was distant and heavy, and it shook at the tip of the nose paradoxically, but when you got closer, it ran away mischievously.
Agarwood!
Old Man Tang's squinting eyes widened, his mouth opened unconsciously, and it took a long time before he asked, "Is it it?"
Xia Li raised her eyebrows and smiled proudly: "It's good to polish and maintain, this skin is out of oil, and some of it is cracked." ”
Xia Li got up and took out the innermost wood carving of a monkey exploring the moon from the basket and held it in his hand, and Old Man Tang looked at Xia Li with bright eyes.
This girl is really a little monster, it has only been a long time since she went out this time, and she brought back two treasures, this appreciation ability, it is estimated that he can't compare, right? So, Tang Jinteng's eyes looked at Xia Li with a little more heat and a little more convincing.
Just when an old man and a young man were pulling these wood carving objects there, a pair of ancestors and grandchildren who had been buying the four treasures of the study room in the store came over.
The pair of grandparents and grandchildren looked more than seventy, and the youngest one was eight or nine years old.
As a result, I saw the monkey in Xia Li's hand to explore the moon, the grandfather of the grandfather and grandson was wearing a stone mirror, and the mirror was worn with two red noodle lines, and it looked like a grandfather next door.
As soon as the old man walked around, Xia Li felt the movement of the person beside him, and couldn't help but turn around, and Old Man Tang also found out.
The old man stepped forward and first glanced at the monkey probe moon in Xia Li's hand, and then said to Xia Li: "Little girl, is this wood for sale?"
When Xia Li heard this, the corners of her mouth cracked slightly, is wood for sale? Haha, why are you so familiar with the lines, the more people who want to buy your things, the more they will first devalue your objects to worthless, and then show that they don't want to buy much, in fact, they feel like a cat scratching in their hearts.
So Xia Li smiled and said: "Old man, this wood carving of agarwood incense has just been collected, and it hasn't been picked up yet, you will come here in a few days to see that it is absolutely beautiful!"
Xia Li didn't say that she was selling or not selling, but first made it clear that this was a wood carving of agarwood.
Xia Chunsheng worked in a pawnshop in the county before liberation, and he was originally a smart and diligent person, so he could also recognize objects of all ages after three or four years of hard work, especially all kinds of wood, which could be recognized at a glance.
The wood carving in the hand of the little girl in front of him, a proper agarwood incense, he originally wanted to pick up a leak, but it was directly exposed by the little girl.
Hearing Xia Li say so surely, Xia Chunsheng didn't feel that he had lost any points in his actions just now, and the antique line was an eyesight, so he smiled and said: "Hehe, I don't know how to sell this wood carving?
Xia Li smiled and handed the wood carving to Old Man Tang before saying, "Well, indeed, you have to take good care of it, otherwise it won't be sold at a high price!"
Originally, Xia Chunsheng was still waiting to take it and take a look, but Xia Li handed it to the master sitting in the hall first, and he looked at it with a blank look, and Xia Hongyan on the side frowned and said, "My grandfather wants to see it, why did you put it away?"
Xia Li raised her eyebrows, and Xia Chunsheng on the side hurriedly gently stroked his grandson's head before smiling and said: "Yes, little girl, show the old man, I'll buy it when it's suitable, it's just that there is one less ornament on the grandson's desk!"
The agarwood carved ornaments are placed on the desk, which is a first-class good, and the fragrance that is emitted first can calm the mind, regardless of learning to write.
Xia Li gave Old Man Tang a look.
Tang Jinteng didn't know the meaning of Xia Li's eyes, so he hurriedly lowered the wood carving and came out of the counter himself.
Donald is an old fritter, he knows what kind of people need what kind of service, some people need your introduction and promotion, and then choose what they need, some people think very highly of themselves, and always feel that they have some skills, you talk too much, and think you are deceiving, so not talking at this time is also a marketing strategy!
So under the quiet waiting of Old Man Tang, Xia Chunsheng spoke up: "How do you sell this ornament, what is the shopkeeper's plan?"
Seeing this, Old Man Tang smiled and stretched out his hand to compare a number, Xia Chunsheng was stunned, frowned and shook his head: "This price, it's too nonsense, no, no, let's talk about it!"
Old man Tang didn't speak, just looked at each other with a smile.
At this time, the takeaway stewed mutton was also delivered to the red clay stove in the back, the porcupine and Tang Xueli were already setting the dishes and chopsticks, Xia He on the side was already hungry, sniffing his nose from time to time, and the gluttony made several people laugh.
Xia Li kept looking at the grandfather and grandson in front of her with a smile, and after a stalemate for half a full time, she left with a temporary packaging box contentedly.
Xia Li leaned forward and asked in a whisper, "How is it?"
Old Donald frowned and gestured, and then smiled and carefully placed the broken basket behind the counter.
Xia Li's eyes lit up, 30,000 yuan, not bad, originally she thought that it would be good to sell 10,000 yuan, but she even sold 30,000 yuan, not bad.
I opened such a picture in the morning, but this one was full of bowls, Xia Li kept grinning, and Old Man Tang drank some wine before stopping.
After eating, Xia He wore an apron and Tang Xueli in the backyard to clean some small bits and pieces collected below, while Xia Li was holding a cloth and wrapping some broken walnut kernels to oil and maintain those wood carvings.
Old man Tang on the side looked staggering, under normal circumstances, everyone will use tung oil for pulping and maintenance wood, and he also saw walnut oil for the first time, and the effect was even better than tung oil.
Xia Li's craft is also learned from the pawnshop father in the previous life, tung oil is also good, maintenance of large furniture is OK, but small pieces are a little too hard, not as good as walnut oil to moisten.
Just when Xia Li had just wiped two or three pieces, the Su family's delivery person came to the door.
Wu Chunlai also asked people to bring the safe in at this time, and there was a lot of commotion in the shop for a while.
Xia Li was not busy getting the things at hand, and after washing his hands, he watched quietly, Old Man Tang took a notebook and checked the goods with the people of the Su family one by one, and let the people leave, and then arranged for someone to place the safe properly.
It didn't open until the afternoon except for people who came in to hang out, and Xia Li asked Donald to close the door at seven o'clock, and a group of people killed the copper hot pot shop.
