Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to pass by himself, Jiang Ping didn't care too much, and hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Uncle, please wait a minute!"

The middle-aged man was startled by Jiang Ping, and almost threw the burden in his hand to the ground. He hurriedly hugged the things in his hand, looked at Jiang Ping vigilantly and asked, "What do you want to do?!"

"Don't be nervous, uncle. Jiang Ping said with a harmless smile on his face: "You plan to sell the things in this baggage, right?"

Seeing that it was a young man who looked like a student who stopped him, the middle-aged man also relaxed a lot, Chong Jiangping shook his head and said, "You are a child, don't get involved in the affairs of adults." I've got to sell this thing for thousands of dollars, and you can't afford to break it. ”

It's not that middle-aged people look down on Jiang Ping, but because he looks too young. At this time in 2002, a few thousand yuan was already a lot of money, and middle-aged people couldn't believe that the young man in front of him, who looked like a student, could take out a few thousand yuan to buy his own things.

Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Jiang Ping hurriedly took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, shook it in front of the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle, I have money." Let me see your stuff, and if you really like it, I'll pay for it right away!"

Seeing that Jiang Ping was really rich, the middle-aged man no longer drove him away, but just said suspiciously: "Do you really want to buy my things in this later life?"

"You have to see if you can buy it or not. Jiang Ping took the middle-aged man's arm and said, "Be quiet over there, let's go, go over there and see your baby!"

Jiang Ping's appearance as a high school student was still very deceptive, and the middle-aged man felt that this young man was no threat to him, and since he did intend to buy his own belongings, it didn't hurt to let him take a look. Anyway, I came to the antique street to sell things, and since I sold them to anyone, it was the same.

Jiang Ping pulled the middle-aged man to a relatively secluded corner, and then said with a smile: "That's it, let me see what kind of treasure you are holding!"

The middle-aged man cautiously looked around, and then carefully opened the baggage, and finally let the object in his arms reveal its true face in front of Jiang Ping.

This is a gilded Buddha statue, about 20 centimeters high, the Bodhisattva's facial form is plump and upright, the expression is solemn and soft, and there is a slight smile, which has the characteristics of a very distinctive gilded Buddha statue of the Ming Dynasty. The gilt surface of the Buddha statue is relatively intact, shining in the sunlight, which really makes people feel bright.

In fact, Jiang Pingtong knew that the middle-aged man had brought a gilded Buddha statue at a glance just now, so he didn't seem surprised at this time. However, Jiang Ping didn't have a chance to take a closer look at this Buddha statue just now, and of course he couldn't determine its age and authenticity.

Now Jiang Ping finally had the opportunity to take a closer look at this Buddha statue, and after obtaining the consent of the middle-aged man, he picked up the Buddha statue and admired it carefully, while asking in a low voice: "Uncle, where did you get this thing from?"

"The old house of the family was going to be demolished a while ago, and I found it under the water tank. The middle-aged man didn't hide it from Jiang Ping, pointed to a small gap in the Buddha statue and said, "See, this is what I accidentally broke when I moved the water tank!"

"Alas, if it hadn't been broken here, the object would have been in near-perfect condition, and now it's a pity. Jiang Ping casually talked to the other party about the condition of the Buddha statue, and at the same time carefully observed the details of the Buddha statue. The experienced Jiang Ping quickly determined that this was indeed a gilded Buddha statue of the Ming Dynasty, and the condition was close to perfect!

However, Jiang Ping also found that middle-aged people did not completely tell the truth to themselves. He said that the gap in the Buddha statue was knocked by a water tank, but from any point of view, this gap could never have been knocked out of a water tank, but more like a hoe or shovel.

Jiang Ping, who knew what to expect, quietly put down the Buddha statue, clapped his hands and said to the middle-aged man: "Uncle, this Buddha statue looks okay, let's say, how much do you need to be willing to make a move?"

The middle-aged man's eyes rolled twice, and he pointed a finger at Jiang Pingbi and said, "Ten thousand, not a cent less!"

Jiang Ping, who heard this price, first raised his eyebrows, and then smiled meaningfully. Speaking from his heart, even if he accepts this Buddha statue with 10,000 yuan, he will still make a lot of money. However, this middle-aged man had clearly said before that this Buddha statue was worth thousands of yuan. Now seeing that Jiang Ping really intends to buy it, he immediately sits on the ground and sells it for 10,000 yuan.

Jiang Ping has never had a good impression of this kind of untrustworthy person. What's more, it's also about the profit of this deal, and of course he won't give in.

So Jiang Ping's face immediately fell, and he shook his head at the middle-aged man and said, "10,000 is too expensive, this object is not worth so much!"

The middle-aged man was asking for a sky-high price, so he waited for Jiang Ping to sit down and pay back, so he immediately asked, "Then how much do you say?"

"Three thousand!" Jiang Ping was not ambiguous, and immediately cut off more than half.

"It's too low!" This time it was the turn of the middle-aged man who was not happy, and said while wrapping the Buddha statue again: "I will take it to the store to sell, and those big stores will definitely give a real price!"

Jiang Ping didn't mean to stop the other party, but said with a smile: "Well, those antique shops will definitely give you a real price, but remember to prepare the proof of the origin of this Buddha statue!"

"Proof of origin?" The middle-aged man was frightened by Jiang Ping's words, stopped his movements and asked nervously: "Do you need proof to sell your own things?"

Jiang Ping sneered: "Of course, otherwise how would people know where you got this thing? If it is dug in the ground, it belongs to the state, and it should be handed over to the state treasury." If it's dug up from an ancient tomb, it's a crime and you will go to jail!"

In fact, those antique stores collect objects, where will they ask for a certificate of origin. However, Jiang Ping could see at a glance that this middle-aged man was a layman, and this gilded Buddha statue was definitely not found from under his own water tank as he said, so he said this to him.

Sure enough, after listening to Jiang Ping's words, the middle-aged man became more and more hesitant, but he said stubbornly: "This is indeed what I found under my own water tank, and I am not afraid of anyone who investigates!"

"Is that really the case?" Jiang Ping pointed to the small gap on the Buddha statue and said: "This is obviously broken by a hoe or shovel or other tools, and there are obvious traces of soil under the base, indicating that this Buddha statue was dug out of the soil." If you go to an antique shop and try it, they will call the police immediately and let the police deal with it! When the time comes, you will tell the police that it was found under your water tank, and see if they believe your nonsense, or will they treat you as a tomb robber!"

Frightened by Jiang Ping's call, the middle-aged man said with a sad face: "I'm really not a tomb robber, I'm just a farmer, this Buddha statue I dug up next to the land temple at the entrance of the village!"
