"Ancient, you're joking!" The southerner walked over and said to the old complaint: "He is young, and he is the main actor, this is still a rare thing in the century-old history of the ghost market!" ”

Gu looked sideways at the southerners and said, "Yo, Xiao Guo, why did you come here to do business?" ”

"Don't you want to get some soup to drink under your hands!" Xiao Guo, a southerner, said.

Gu looked at Lotte with a smile and said, "Don't look at Lotte's young age, but his eyesight is no worse than that of us old guys." ”

Xiao Guo asked questioningly: "How do you say this?" ”

"Today, Lotte is not only a drama producer, but also a substitute for my old brother Cao and a master producer."

"Huh?"

The audience was dumb again for a few seconds, and Boss Chang was the first to come back to his senses, and hurriedly asked: "Ancient, this Cao Lao didn't come today, is there something wrong with his body?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Gu muttered: "Brother Cao has a big job in his hands, and he can't get out of it these days, so he can't come to participate today, but please rest assured, I vouch for my reputation, and Lotte's experience is indeed borne by this." ”

Everyone looked sideways at Lotte, and the doubts in everyone's hearts did not decrease, but increased a few points.

"Ah, that's it!" Boss Chang hurriedly changed the topic and said: "It's just right, before the play, let's let Gu take a look at things." ”

The ghost market sellers and buyers are all together, and the first wave of objects naturally has to be reviewed first, and the boss Chang asked him to lead the people to come over with things.

These people were not ambiguous, they came to Gu Gu with things, the first one took out a porcelain bowl, flicked it with his fingers three times and handed it to Gu, Gu took it and squinted at it, then put it aside with a smile, and said:

"This thing is an old object, fired in a Qingmin kiln, and it's not worth much."

The person who handed over the things frowned and said, "Do you always give me an estimate?" ”

Gu Gu looked at Lotte with a smile and asked tentatively, "Lotte, tell me, what is the price of this bowl?" ”

Lotte replied respectfully: "Listen to the old opinion. ”

Gu originally wanted Lotte to open his mouth, but Lotte kicked the ball back, and Gu had to smile awkwardly.

A group of people frowned, and a seller behind him muttered in a low voice: "If you can't see it, you can't see it, what are you pretending!" ”

This is not loud, but everyone is not far away, they can hear this sentence, everyone looked at the person who spoke, he was a little embarrassed, but he still stubbornly said: "Originally, the ancients said that this is an old object, even if it is not valuable, there must be a number!" ”

Before everyone could speak, Lotte smiled and said, "Haha, since that's the case, then I'll quote a price." ”

Lotte walked up to the porcelain bowl, only glanced at it, pouted and said, "5000." ”

"What?" As soon as the seller heard that it was 5,000 fast, he immediately stopped doing it, "I'm also a bowl of the Qing Dynasty, so you will give me 5,000?" ”

Lotte sat back on the chair, picked up a cup of tea and said: "I will give you more than 5,000, your thing itself is not valuable, the key is still defective, although the repair is complete, but the subtle cracks can still be seen, all here are experts, the complete Qingmin kiln porcelain bowl, the market price should be about 50,000, but the defective objects are greatly discounted." ”

"I, my bowl is so complete, how can you see that he is missing?" The seller quit and questioned Rakuten.

Lotte ignored him and took a sip of tea, and at this time, Gu said: "That's right, your bowl is indeed repaired after being damaged, and the 5,000 given by Lotte is an affordable price." ”

"I said, what kind of eyes do you have, you actually say that it is defective in such a good condition?" The seller changed the conversation and said to the ancient: "I don't care how you hold him, but my bowl is worth 5,000, you are dizzy!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned, daring to question the ancient in front of the ghost market, and also speaking disrespectfully, which is equivalent to a slap in the face!

"Alas, ancient, he has a pestle (the first time to buy and sell), he doesn't understand the rules, don't be angry."

The ancient face was gloomy, the crutch slammed to the ground, and after a dull "bang", the ancient looked at the man and said:

"Do you know what happened to you just now?"

"No, I don't know." The man regretted a little that he had just lost his words, but when he saw Lotte drinking tea calmly on the side, he was angry again, and he had the courage to say, "What can you do with me?" ”

"To find fault in the ghost market, you must first have the ability to bear it, if it was before, with your words, it would be enough to receive a hundred rod salutes, and you would be red."

"Uh......" The man's face turned blue with fright, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.

Zhang Yunfang didn't understand the meaning of these words, and asked in a low voice: "Lotte, what does this hundred rod ceremony, Yili red mean?" ”

Lotte continued to take a sip of tea, and said without lowering his voice:

"The ghost market has the rules of the ghost market, I heard that there have been traitors before, reporting to the government, and there are also people who find faults, smashing the field, as long as they are caught, this person has to climb from the street to the end of the street, during the period, all the merchants are divided or so, and hit the person below the waist with a cane, must exceed 100 rods, do you know the end, if the beaten person does not die, crawl out of the ghost market, his blood can be dragged out of a mile long."

After Lotte's explanation, the face of the person who spoke turned pale, and he nodded with a gloomy face and said: "Lotte is right, this is the rule of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, although lynching cannot be used now, but there are still rules of the ghost market in the ghost market." ”

Gu picked up the porcelain bowl and looked at the man with trembling hands.

But at this moment, Lotte hurriedly said: "Ancient, wait! ”

Just when everyone thought that Gu was going to drop the bowl, Lotte suddenly came to such a voice, and the seller breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly begged for mercy:

"Ancient, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, I spent all my belongings to collect this thing, don't smash it for me, please!"

Gu ignored him, looked at Lotte and asked, "What are you waiting for?" ”

Lotte stood up and walked over and said, "Ancient, you smashed things like this, how dissatisfied he is, he doesn't believe it, so, you give it to me, and I will prove it to him!" ”

Gu put the porcelain bowl back on the table, Lotte turned his head sideways and whispered a few times in Zhang Yunfang's ear, and Zhang Yunfang hurriedly trotted out.

Lotte looked at the seller man and said: "Your thing is indeed damaged, but the repair technique is very superb, and ordinary people really can't see it, I'll teach you today, how I can distinguish it." ”

Lotte picked up the porcelain bowl and flicked it with his fingers, making three crisp sounds, "Don't think that the porcelain changes hands after three plays, it just means that what I give you is good, and you have to pay for the bad, wrong, in the early days of the black market, there were no street lights, and when everyone traded with lanterns, they handed over the porcelain to each other, and many connoisseurs listened to the sound to distinguish the authenticity." ”

Lotte took the porcelain bowl and showed it to everyone and said: "Later, it was passed around, and the porcelain was flicked three times to add another layer of meaning, but when things are appreciated by experienced experts, people with experience like Gu can still hear the difference from the sound." ”

Everyone looked at Gu in unison, Gu nodded slightly, and subconsciously agreed with Lotte's words.

And Lotte put the porcelain bowl back on the table and said with a smile: "Your bowl, I'll give you 5,000 It's really high, it's not as simple as damage." ”

At this moment, Zhang Yunfang and a waiter came up, the waiter held a tea tray and a boiling kettle in his hand, and when it was placed on the table, Lotte put the porcelain bowl on the tea tray and poured boiling water all over it.

A few more people came up at the staircase, and they saw everyone gathered around the VIP table, thinking that there was something good, and hurriedly ran over to join in the fun, but when they saw this scene, they all asked puzzled:

"What are you doing here?"

Lotte's boiling water was just finished, and the whole porcelain bowl was steaming.

Zhang Yunfang handed Lotte another bottle of mineral water with ice ballast, Lotte opened the bottle cap, looked at the seller and said:

"This also makes you understand that rules are rules!"

After the words fell, Lotte poured ice water on the porcelain bowl, hot and cold, and suddenly the porcelain bowl made a strange crisp sound, and then seven or eight clearly visible cracks appeared on the porcelain bowl.

"It's cracked, this bowl is really bad, hey!" The onlookers began to talk.

The seller's face changed greatly, and he insisted before, saying that his porcelain must be fine, but after pouring ice and fire water, he realized that the thing he received was really defective.

"Click"

The porcelain bowl was torn apart, the porcelain pieces were scattered throughout the tea tray, and with it, there was also the seller's heart.

Lotte put down the mineral water bottle, looked at the seller coldly and asked, "Are you convinced?" ”

The seller bowed his head and was silent, his face was comparable to the color of a pig's kidney, Lotte picked up the tea tray and said, "Take it away, spend a few thousand yuan to find someone to repair it." ”

The man took it with a dark face and silently stepped back.

Lotte shook his head and returned to his position, and said with an ancient smile: "Well, yes, your method is indeed more effective than mine, if I really fall for him, he may not be able to complain about me when he turns around!" ”

"Don't give face to this kind of person, don't pay attention to him when you are old." Lotte said mockingly.

"No, there are no wonders in the world, I have been appreciating them for so many years, I have seen anyone, and it is not unusual for him to be like this."

Everyone in the vicinity heard it with a black face and a white face, after all, they all had the same idea as the seller just now, after all, the price given by Lotte really made them incomprehensible.

The later group of people didn't understand what was going on, so they pulled the onlookers to ask for a while, and after hearing about it, they all felt that this person deserved it.

What kind of place is the ghost market, find fault here, and don't weigh your own weight, but then again, this Lotte seems to be really capable, listening to the meaning of the ancient sayings, he didn't even think of using this method to prove it.

After the embarrassing scene for a long time, another seller timidly stepped forward, took out his belongings, handed them over and said:

"Ancient, you can show this thing!"

The man was holding a gold-colored satin bag in his hand, and he opened it as he spoke, and when the contents were revealed, Gu subconsciously stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly put on his glasses and looked at the things handed over by the seller in detail.
