The flower, bird, fish and insect market is not far from Dongsha University, only about 2 kilometers, Su Liwen couldn't get a taxi, and trotted all the way, sweating profusely. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In my memory, the person who bought the jade pendant was also a freshman, and the purchase time indicated in the post on the school forum was the day before the military training, which caused a huge sensation in the school, and Sullivan read it in detail several times, and he was envious, so he had such a deep memory.
Not surprisingly, this jade pendant will be purchased this afternoon, the specific time is uncertain, the more Su Liwen thinks about it, the more anxious he becomes, the soles of his feet accelerate, jogging becomes fast running, racing against time, panting to the flower, bird, fish and insect market.
The weather is beautiful, the weather is cool, the cool breeze is blowing, there are a lot of pedestrians in the market, most of them are new students from nearby schools, and it is the eve of military training, everyone comes to play.
All kinds of rare and precious flowers, birds, fish and insects in the market are placed on both sides of the street, goldfish with blessing words on their foreheads, parrots with babbling words, flowers from the Netherlands, and crickets with a huge size of 1,08 with the nickname "General Tiangong".
Su Liwen had no intention of appreciating it, walked to the depths of the market, observed the stalls on both sides of the road, the post said that the pendant was reached on the stalls, the market was not large, a main road and several branches, after walking the main road, I did not find a stall selling antiques.
He didn't dare to waste time, so he asked a bird owner: "Hello boss, where is there a stall selling antiques?" ”
The boss thought for a while, and said: "There is such a place, but it is not an antique, it is full of handicrafts, and it is a trick to deceive people, specifically to deceive you students." ”
Su Liwen hurriedly said: "I'm here to buy handicrafts, please ask the boss to guide the next position." ”
Seeing that he had a good attitude, the boss nodded and said, "Go out and turn right and turn left, walk twenty meters and turn right again, and it's in that small alley." ”
Sullivan thanked the boss, hurriedly walked into the alley, and found that there were really six or seven antique stalls here, of course he knew that these were tricks of the pit man, but the jade pendant was undoubtedly genuine.
There are a lot of pedestrians in the alley, the bosses sit calmly on the Maza, in front of them is a rag, on which are placed all kinds of imitations, handicrafts, jade and porcelain, but also some Chinese and Western bizarre items, the bosses are bamboo, waiting for the fat sheep to come to the door.
Su Liwen walked to the first stall and squatted down to watch carefully, the boss glanced at him lightly, and continued to talk to a couple of students next to him: "This gourd bottle is Jun porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, it is porcelain produced in the official kiln, exclusively for the use of the royal family, the market price is at least five thousand, you come to me This is fate, I will sell it to you cheaply, as long as two thousand." ”
The couple was startled, and the girl waved her hand again and again: "I can't afford it...... Can't afford it. After saying that, he pulled the boy and was about to leave.
The boss is there: "Don't worry, what ......price can you offer?"
This stall did not have what Su Liwen was looking for, Su Liwen stood up and walked towards the next one, the owner of this stall is an old man with fairy wind and bones, this dignity is indeed very deceptive, he picked up a small cabbage made of resin and ran with a mouthful of cows: "Little brother, this cabbage has a great origin, it was carved by Master Liu in the early years of the Ming Dynasty to imitate the national treasure cabbage for 7749 days, and the collection value is extremely high......"
These words were automatically blocked by Sullivan, and there was nothing he was looking for in this stall, and then, he searched all the way, but he didn't find the jade pendant in his memory.
There is still one last stall left, and Sullivan is secretly anxious, if this stall is not there, it means that the pendant has been bought and he has missed it.
The stall owner was a thin man in his fifties, he was wearing a short black coat, and there was a huge black mole on his right cheek, and a handful of black hair grew on it. In front of the booth, several male and female students were squatting, pointing and increasing their knowledge.
Su Liwen walked over and stood next to him, looked carefully at the stall, looked carefully a few times, and found no jade pendant, he couldn't help but feel a little lost, depressed, and was about to turn back, when suddenly a slightly chubby boy in front of the stall asked the boss: "Boss, how do you sell this thing?" ”
When Sullivan heard this, he was holding a jade pendant in the shape of a Buddha in his hand, which was exactly what Sullivan was looking for.
The boss shook the paper fan, squinted his eyes and smiled: "This little brother has a really good eye, this Buddha is a ...... of the Western Regions during the Tang Dynasty"
The fat boy also understands people, and stretched out his hand to interrupt the boss: "Come on, boss, don't talk nonsense, everything on your stall is a treasure, I know this, you just ask for a price, I will buy it if the price is right, and if it is not suitable, you will continue to wait for the fat sheep." ”
The boss was well-informed, disapproving, and stretched out four fingers with his left hand: "Since this is the case, then let's get straight to the point, and this pendant should be the minimum number." ”。
The fat man asked, "Forty?" ”
The boss's head shook like a rattle, and his right hand kept shaking the paper fan.
The fat man was angry and returned the pendant to the boss: "It's such a broken thing, you still want four hundred, keep it for yourself." ”
The boss smiled: "Little brother, don't be angry, there are contacts in business, you make a price." ”
Su Liwen was anxious on the side, but he didn't dare to show it on his face at all, he didn't dare to get involved, these bosses are more monkey spirits than one another, in case they show their feet, they will never want to buy this pendant, he just had four hundred yuan on him, and at this moment he shouted in his heart: Sell me four hundred, dead fatty, you go quickly.
However, the fat man didn't go, he emptied his two trouser pockets, took out a handful of change, carefully, just fifty yuan, and his neck was horizontal: "Fifty yuan, all my belongings are here, you can sell them if you want to, and if you don't sell them, you will pull them down." ”
The boss's expression changed for a while, and he thought to himself that although this pendant was collected as a scrap, it was not enough to make money by selling it for only fifty yuan.
Seeing that he was hesitant, the fat man snorted, turned around and left, the boss reacted, hurriedly grabbed him, pretended to be in pain and said, "Fifty sold you." ”
The fat man turned his anger into joy, and the two sides had both money and goods, and the fat man tied the pendant to his chest on the spot, and returned the court with a majestic victory.
Su Liwen was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the fat man to have the talent to bargain, he followed behind the fat man, thinking about how to get the pendant, thinking about it, looking up, there was a shadow in front of the right, wasn't that Tang Yu.
With a move in his heart, Su Liwen hurriedly walked towards Tang Yu, Tang Yu also saw Su Liwen, her autumn eyes lit up, waved her arm to greet Su Liwen, and introduced her to the roommate beauty around her.
Where did Su Liwen have time to say this, seeing that the fat man was about to walk out of sight, he couldn't care much at the moment, and whispered to her for a while, Tang Yu's face was slightly red when he heard it, and he hesitated, Su Liwen couldn't wait to say: "Auntie, everyone is leaving, hurry up and help." ”
Tang Yu nodded, and the two strode to catch up with the boy, Su Liwen patted him on the shoulder from behind, and before he could speak, the fat man turned around and wondered: "Who are you, do we know each other?" ”
"This classmate, you are also a freshman at Dongsha University, right?" Su Liwen smiled and made some friendship with him first.
The fat man replied, "yes, what's the matter with you?" ”
Su Liwen thought to himself that this fat man was really a tendon, why did he speak so impulsively, he said: "I am also a freshman at Dongsha University, that's the case, my girlfriend thinks this pendant on your body is very good-looking, I want to ask where you bought it from, and we will buy one too." ”
Tang Yu next to him turned even redder when he heard this, lowered his head, and drew circles on the ground in canvas shoes.
Only then did the fat man notice that there was a beautiful woman next to him, his momentum immediately weakened, and then he thought about it, no, the beauty already has a boyfriend, so I have no hope, why are you still so cowardly. So he crossed his neck and replied: "It's useless to tell you where you bought it, there is only one thing there, and this is the one on me." ”
Su Liwen wanted this sentence, he pretended to groan, and then said: "Classmate, can you have a discussion, you sell the pendant to me, and I will add some money to you." ”
"It's a treasure, I spent a lot of money to get it." The fat man's eyes rolled, and Su Liwen scolded shamelessly when he heard this, and said in his heart that the fat man would lose a lot if he didn't do business, how much is 50 yuan?
However, the fat man continued: "I spent a hundred yuan when I bought it, you say, add as much as you want, and I will sell it to you." ”
Su Liwen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately the fat man didn't have a lion to open his mouth, thought about it at the moment, and said: "That's it, I can't let you work in vain, I'll give you one hundred and fifteen." ”
The fat man's eyes turned around, Su Liwen secretly said that it was not good, this fat man looked honest, but in fact he was shrewd, the process of bargaining with the boss was enough to show that his IQ was not low, and at the moment he had an idea, he hollowed out his two trouser pockets, only took out two hundred yuan, and said with a painful face: "All my belongings are here, only two hundred yuan, you can sell them if you want, if you don't want to, I will buy others and give them to my girlfriend." ”
The fat man looked at Su Liwen with a strange face, thinking to himself how this person learned my tricks, but he earned one hundred and fifty yuan as soon as he changed hands, which is enough for himself to cover the night more than a dozen times, this fool must not know that he bought it for fifty yuan, haha.
He thought about it, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately took off the pendant, handed it to Su Livan, took the two red bills, and hummed a little song.
Su Liwen let out a long breath, and finally bought the pendant with great difficulty, put the pendant away immediately, and said to Tang Yu: "Let's go, go meet your roommate." ”
"Ah~~ Oh, let's go." Tang Yu's response was a few beats slower, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The two returned to the same place, Tang Yu's roommate was waiting for them nearby, Tang Yu introduced the two parties, and a little girl with a faint freckle on her face had little stars flashing in her eyes: "Tang Yu, your boyfriend is a handsome pot!" ”
Tang Yu secretly glanced at Su Liwen and explained with a red face: "Don't get me wrong, we are just ordinary friends. ”
The freckled woman giggled and didn't do anything right: "I know, ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend!" ”
Tang Yu didn't follow, and several girls laughed and played for a while.
The pendant was already in hand, Sullivan was determined, invited a few girls to eat cold drinks and snacks, and everyone walked around the market again, and only returned to school at dusk.
