"Hey, this kid is also a little back, too greedy, originally a well-known Nangong master, nothing to learn from others to make like Y, just get it, I bought 200,000 yuan at a time, and then I was given a little bit by my peers, this time I squatted for several years, if it weren't for this prison, I'm afraid I would be a master now" Saying this, Old Man Yang sighed regretfully.

"Don't talk about it, with your old face covering, how can he be in prison, a day of good food, good drink, and good treatment, isn't it all his work to take the willow, you still feel sorry for others, you see, people are out now, and they don't even look at you!" Yang Xiaoran grabbed the stubble and choked the old man again.
Old man Yang is good-tempered, and when he heard his granddaughter say this, he was not angry, but replied leisurely, "Hey, I like people to treat me like this, I am happy to have money to buy it, you little rabbit!" Now this mouth is getting more and more tricky."
As he spoke, he slipped to the front of the counter, took out a thick pile of red banknotes and handed it to his granddaughter, "Okay, don't be angry with me, make me angry, who will buy you the money for the bag"
Yang Xiaoran glanced up at the thickness of the banknote dissatisfied, and glanced at the small mouth, "Three thousand three, not enough, there is still one thousand seven"
"Well, good eyesight!" As he spoke, the old man took out another wad of bills from his trouser pocket, put them together and handed them up
"That's enough, right?"
This move of the grandfather and grandson calmed Lu Ming on the side, and the girl in front of him didn't even count, so she directly cut off the number of banknotes, this trick seems easy, but in fact it is not something that ordinary people can do.
"Hmph, it's pretty much the same" said, the girl took the banknote handed by the old man in one hand, carried her own small bag in the other, got up and walked out of the counter, and when she was about to go out, she looked at Lu Ming and said with a bad smile
"You just play with the old man who is a loser, and sooner or later you will lose yourself, hehe!"
"You girl!" Old man Yang just pretended to catch up, and the little girl stumbled and walked out of the store.
"Haha, little brother, don't be surprised, my granddaughter has been spoiled since she was a child, she said that one person doesn't say two, so she made it like this, but fortunately she is a girl, just marry in the future!"
Hearing this, Lu Ming subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart, whoever marries this little ancestor is also the ancestor who has accumulated great virtue.
"Old man, I found out why you have so many wooden objects here" Lu Ming looked at the twenty or so large carved pieces placed side by side in the store, basically all of which were made of wood.
When Old Man Yang heard this, he got up and walked over, stood inside the door of the glass shop, looked at the empty street outside, and said thoughtfully
"It's not that I have a soft spot for wood, but these, all of them are my medicine, the money I spent at the beginning, basically more than double the market price, I didn't know much about these at that time, but my mind was hot, and I took it, but who would have thought that these objects are basically cracks and horizontal, incomplete quality, or unskilled carving technology, so that the value of the object itself has been discounted to a certain extent."
Seeing that the old man's expression was a little sad, Lu Ming was about to say two words of comfort, but unexpectedly, his words changed
"However, it is precisely because of these medicines that I made up my mind to learn the knowledge of cultural toys, with the heat of this market in recent years, I don't know how many times I have earned back these medicines, so I don't know how many times I have earned back, so I don't know if I am blessed."
When Lao Yang Tou sighed about his life experience, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Haha, here" He didn't even look at his phone, he just pushed open the door and trotted out all the way, leaving Lu Ming standing alone in the store.
At this time, he really admired Old Man Yang's mentality, although he only met him for the first time, he did not have the slightest precaution against himself.
After a short wait, Old Man Yang brought in a thin young man with black glasses.
"Xiao Li, it's this piece of material, you can take a good look at it"
After hearing Old Man Yang's command, Xiao Li hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Uncle Yang, don't worry, I will definitely take one hundred and twenty points of seriousness to deal with it."
After saying this, Xiao Li squatted next to the wood and began to observe carefully, nodding and praising while watching, this material is amazing, just when he stroked the material with his hand, Lu Ming found that this guy had several knife marks on his hands, and there were thick calluses on the joints of his fingers.
"How about this piece of material, can you clean it up?" Although Old Man Yang is not young, his mentality is like that of a child, and he can't stop everything in his heart.
After Xiao Li got up, he pushed his eyes with his hand and nodded, "This piece of material is really good, as the so-called good material does not use a knife, if this piece of material is a knife, it will be a little ruined."
"Hey, but this is the market needs, ask all over this market, how many people can understand the value of logs? You still have to attach a profound meaning to it to make a move! ”
Old man Yang's words are not unreasonable, the reason why the cultural play market is gradually booming is inseparable from several key factors.
First, the people's living standards have improved significantly
The second is the habit of conformity
The third is the deliberate propaganda of the media
Fourth, high-quality cultural toys have a certain effect of maintaining and increasing value
According to the above factors, a little conclusion is that no matter how good the object in your hand is, as long as it does not meet the aesthetics and tastes of the public, then it will eventually be shelved by this market.
Xiao Li listened to Old Man Yang's words, hesitated for a while, and then nodded reluctantly, "Okay, if this piece of material is with you, I just saw it, there is no problem with a big Pixiu, and this is also the most economical method, and the subject matter is also very in line with the taste of the public."
Hearing this, Old Man Yang slapped his thigh, "Okay, on this topic, by the way, I forgot to introduce you, this young man is the home of this piece of material."
When Lu Ming heard this, he walked over quickly, and when he stretched out his hand to go over, Xiao Li was obviously a little hesitant, but under the gaze of Old Man Yang, he couldn't refuse, so he had to shake him hastily, and looked at Lu Ming's gaze and was a little evasive, which was a manifestation of intentional defensiveness against people.
"Xiao Li, how has your life been lately?" After watching the two shake hands, Old Man Yang opened a new topic.
Xiao Li hurriedly turned around, looked at him and replied, "Thanks to your old blessing, it's okay."
"Well, it's okay, don't have any burden because of what happened in the past, society has changed, not to mention that you are not ashamed of that thing, do it well, you will get up sooner or later" As he spoke, Old Man Yang patted him on the shoulder vigorously.
After he held up the frame with his fingers, he replied vaguely, "This object carved for you is my masterpiece, and I will never be involved in this field in the future, and I can support my family by doing some small business by myself."
Hearing this, Old Man Yang's face obviously darkened.
Lu Ming felt that he was like a big light bulb here at this time, and the two of them seemed to have something to say, but it was inconvenient for him.
"Uncle Yang, it's almost four o'clock now, my family lives far away, I'll go first, let's call about the material."
After getting the consent of Old Man Yang, Lu Ming carried the piece of small material that had collapsed and walked out of the cultural toy market quickly.
