Chapter 33: The Classic Scam
Four or two dial a thousand pounds!
Those who know a little bit of martial arts knowledge know that what Lin Dong used just now is the "introduction" formula in the internal boxing method, or the "four or two dialing a thousand catties" in the eyes of ordinary people!
A young man who had been looking at this side from a distance scolded hatefully: "Stupid! He turned around and walked away.
Obviously, his plan did not work.
"Are you alright?" Ji Yao was the first to react, and she also saw the whole process, and asked a little anxiously.
"It's fine." Lin Dong's gaze still fell on the strong man who fell to the ground, and replied.
Deng Ying'er didn't know what was going on, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”
Ji Yao whispered to her what had happened, she was furious, and just as she was about to speak, the strong man had already gotten up, glanced at the position of the young man who had just left, didn't see anyone, turned his head and glared at Lin Dong hatefully, turned around and left quickly.
"Why is this man like this?" Deng Ying'er didn't know what was going on, and looked at the back of the strong man angrily and said, "It's really rude!" If you hit someone, you don't apologize and run! Let me see him again, I will definitely find someone to beat him to relieve his anger! ”
"Let's go, there's nothing to lose......" Lin Dong knew that things might not be so simple, but he looked in the direction that the strong man was looking at just now, and he didn't find anything, so he left first.
A few minutes after this episode, Deng Yinger had already come out of the love just now and began to excitedly "tao" Baolai.
"Come and see, there's something good here!"
Deng Ying'er quickly found something good, and hurriedly beckoned Lin Dong and Ji Yao over.
The two men walked up to see that in the corner between the two stalls, there was a middle-aged woman, dressed as a construction worker, with dried cement sticks on her clothes. In front of her was a large lump of earth, half a meter high and more than forty centimeters wide, with an irregular shape. At his feet was a pile of smashed clods of earth, and a lot of broken porcelain pieces could be faintly seen inside.
Deng Yinger was picking up those small porcelain pieces in the soil and called the two of them anxiously. There were already three or four people watching in front of this woman, so it was no wonder that Deng Yinger was in a hurry.
Lin Dong was not in a hurry, and walked forward slowly, observing as he went. Ji Yao didn't care about these things, and followed Lin Dong.
"You'd better hurry!" Deng Yinger saw that the two people were not in a hurry, so she simply didn't pick them up, stood up and trotted to the two people, and dragged the two people to the stall with one hand, and said as she walked: "See, this is a clod of soil dug up on the construction site, which is full of broken porcelain pieces from hundreds of years ago. ”
Lin Dong felt a little funny and asked, "How do you know that this thing is valuable?" ”
Deng Ying'er glanced at him: "Even if I don't read as many books as you, I've heard the saying 'a lot of wealth is not worth a piece of Jun kiln - no matter how expensive the Jun kiln is, it is not worth a piece of Ru kiln', and now to find these broken porcelain pieces, don't you have to find them from these underground ruins?" ”
As he spoke, several people who picked up porcelain tiles had already paid their money and left.
Deng Ying'er said anxiously: "Look? You're not in a hurry, it's good now, the good things have been picked up! ”
The woman saw that Deng Ying'er really wanted to buy it, and hurriedly greeted enthusiastically: "Girl, don't worry, I still have a large clod of soil, as long as you spend five hundred yuan, I will smash it open, whatever you choose, no matter what the color, fifty pieces a piece, how about it?" If you pick it, I'll let someone else pick it! ”
She had a hammer in her hand, and it was obvious that as soon as Deng Yinger agreed, she would do it.
Deng Ying'er was about to agree, but Lin Dong grabbed her, shook his head and said, "Fake, let's go!" ”
Deng Ying'er didn't believe it and didn't want to leave, the woman heard this, her face changed, and she said to Lin Dong unhappily: "Young man, even if you don't buy it, you can't slander people, right?" I'm a worker at a nearby construction site, and we only dug up these things the day before yesterday when we were digging the foundation. At first, we didn't know that this thing was valuable, but we dug it up and prepared it for the tent. Later, many people went to the construction site to pick up these porcelain pieces, and we thought of it, so we took these out and sold them for money. ”
Speaking of this, she said with some pride: "You say this is fake? I tell you, a professor from some university came over yesterday and bought a dozen pieces of porcelain from me for 600 yuan, and said what kind of Longquan kiln it was! ”
As soon as she heard what the other party said, Deng Yinger felt more and more that this was true, she simply took out her wallet directly, and was about to pay the money, Lin Dong grabbed her, and said with a smile: "Do you really believe it?" You can hear more than a dozen of this routine every day on this street! This thing is fake, that is, I make some broken porcelain pieces by myself, mix them with a lot of mud, and then dispose of them after drying, and it's done. Five hundred? You can buy a whole bunch of them for five bucks! ”
Deng Yinger didn't know who to listen to, so she had to set her eyes on Ji Yao.
Ji Yao said: "Listen to Lin Dong, I don't think it's like it's true. ”
"Then Lin Dong, how do you say you saw it?" Deng Ying'er is very unwilling, it seems that Lin Dong will not give up if she doesn't say why.
"See the clods?" Lin Dong simply pointed to the large piece of soil and said, "If it was really dug out of the ground for hundreds of years, the soil would have been pressed very evenly a long time ago, at least there would be no chaos." Archaeology knows, right? Look at the soil quality is layer by layer. Look at her, not only is there no layer, but there are also a lot of holes in the clods, which is obviously not uniform in the mud, and there are bubbles in it, right? ”
"Based on this, it doesn't mean that this is fake, right?" Deng Yinger actually believed it in her heart, but she was still a little stubborn.
Lin Dong had no choice but to continue: "Look at the broken porcelain pieces in that clod. He pointed to the clod of soil and said, "If it is a broken porcelain piece that is hundreds of years old, it is either the ruins of a porcelain kiln, or it was broken during transportation, or it was buried at home." Usually such porcelain pieces are not completely mixed in the soil and buried, at most they dig a pit, then throw the broken porcelain pieces into it, and then bury them. ”
"What does this have to do with that?" Deng Ying'er didn't understand, and asked suspiciously.
Lin Dong smiled: "It has a big deal." Do you think, usually buried like this, should most of the broken porcelain pieces be lying flat? At least most of them should be? They can't all be standing, right? ”
"That's right." Deng Yinger nodded.
Lin Dong pointed to the clod of soil and said: "Look at this again, not to mention the broken porcelain pieces in any direction, but also in any color, and you look at these foundations, there are no models, whether it is household porcelain, palace or commercial in ancient times, most of them have models, even if they don't, the colors can't be so ......."
For the rest, needless to say, everyone else must have understood, right?
