Chapter 35: Sky-high prices
After a noon, the door of the village committee has changed greatly, not only the banner is new, even the people who come are more than in the morning, but it is still to see the lively occupy the majority, this is the meaning of the old money, some people donate money to the village primary school, this is a good deed, to publicize, even a few nearby villages have a lot of people to see the excitement, the whole open space has gathered hundreds of people, this situation is rare in them.
After the compact Zhang Luo, Wu Wanyuan also handed over the old money in front of everyone, and under the witness of everyone, all of them were used for the construction of the primary school in the village, and the remaining 50,000 yuan was left for tomorrow.
Of course, donating money is donating money, and the main purpose of Liu Yuan and the two is to collect antiquities, and when it is almost two o'clock, this noisy scene will be over.
Under Lao Qian's arrangement, the middle-aged woman who was noticed by Liu Yuan in the morning stood in front, with a feeling of uneasiness, holding the iron lump in her hand tightly with one hand, and grasping the little boy next to her with the other hand, about seven or eight years old, but there was a coldness between the eyebrows of the young age, which couldn't help but make Liu Yuan frown for a while.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm afraid this kid is bullied a lot." Liu Yuan attached himself to Zhang Erhe's ear and whispered, this woman's situation is quite similar to Zhang Erhe's lovesick object, Chen Airong, but she is luckier than her.
Thinking of this, Zhang Erhe felt a little sympathetic to this poor woman.
"Sister, what do you have for the two of you to help you see, they are good people and will not lose you." Seeing that the woman had not come forward for a long time, Lao Qian persuaded him with good words.
In the mountain villages, widows who have lost their husbands are very unpopular, the older generation is said to be kefu, while the younger people are much more enlightened, and the women have a bitter face and seem to be a little embarrassed.
And the people around saw that this woman was in front, and they also pointed and pointed, and some sensible people said that she was pitiful, but the mean people said that she was pretentious, but listening to Zhang Erhe's ears, it made him feel pain in his heart.
"Sister, no matter what there is, I'm in charge of it today, I want it all, you can bring it." Zhang Erhe said sincerely, and this heartfelt word also made Liu Yuan laugh softly.
Old Qian stepped forward and pushed it twice, and the woman finally mustered up her courage, stepped forward, and put the iron lump on the table.
"I... I..."The woman was speechless, in front of so many people, to take out such a shameful thing, it did make her a little uncomfortable, in addition to her own situation, she was not welcome, this subsequent ridicule, instantly made her blush, full of grievances, and grabbed the little boy's hand tightly, and now only this little guy can give her a trace of warmth.
The boy glared angrily at the mocker, but his little heart couldn't stand this ridicule, and it didn't last long for his eyes to turn red.
Zhang Erhe shook his head helplessly, although this kind of thing made him uncomfortable, but he couldn't manage it, he couldn't manage it, he took the iron lump in his hand, looked left and right, except that it was made of pig iron, the others did not have any dazzling value, and this thing was indeed a scale, but the corrosion was too serious, it can be said that even if it was an antiquity, it was also a defective product, and it was a very low-value scale defective product, and hundreds of yuan were expensive.
Zhang Erhe looked at Liu Yuan with a wry smile, he was still thinking just now, if it was a treasure, he would raise the price higher, but the truth disappointed him.
How could Zhang Erhe's disappointed eyes avoid the woman's ardent hope? Just when he was about to be disheartened, Liu Yuan smiled and took the iron pimple over, but this time he put on his mysterious black gloves, this scene also made Zhang Erhe stunned, could it be said that this iron pimple has another mystery?
I saw Liu Yuan gently wipe around the iron bump, and this action alone lasted for a minute, and Zhang Erhe's mood became extremely nervous at this time.
"Uncle Zhang, do you have a knife?" Liu Yuan turned his head with a serious expression and asked.
How dare Zhang Erhe slack off, he has been with Liu Yuan for a long time, whenever he shows this kind of expression, there must be something that makes him happy.
"Yes, you wait." After a while, Zhang Erhe took a blunt-edged knife, and the most taboo thing in studying antiquities is sharp things, and if one is not good, it will destroy the body.
"No, the sharper the better." Zhang Erhe muttered, but he still did it, and the sharp knife was naturally easier to find.
"Yuan'er, this is iron, not stone, why do you want such a sharp knife? Even a stone can't cut it, huh? Zhang Erhe was a little worried and whispered.
And Liu Yuan paid all his attention to the iron lump, picked up the knife, and kept scratching the knife marks on the iron lump, which lasted for more than five minutes.
"I see." Finally, Liu Yuan seemed to have noticed something, stopped moving, and the black gloves were put away by him, and the iron lump was put back on the table by him.
"Eldest sister, you can make a price for this thing." It is Liu Yuan's consistent style again, let others bid, so that he can take the initiative more, but this time Liu Yuan has a different plan.
Seeing that Liu Yuan and the others did not refuse her things, the woman's eyes lit up obviously, but then they dimmed again, and she was speechless with a red face, and Lao Qian stepped forward again and said, "Sister, you can say as much as you want, why are you so twisted." ”
Seeing that the woman still didn't speak, Lao Qian was also anxious, stepped forward, and said: "Little brother, my sister mentioned it to me this afternoon, she wants five hundred for this iron lump, this is something from her hometown, and it is expected to be an antique." ”
Generally, antique dealers go to the countryside to collect things, no matter whether they are good or bad, as long as they fancy it, they are generally dozens of hundreds, and at most only a thousand, and like Liu Yuan, they spent 10,000 yuan on the first day to buy the jade pendant of the old money, and the people in the village don't say it, but they know in their hearts what is going on, and it is too stupid to say that others are fools.
"Eldest sister, you don't have to be so restrained, I want this thing, hey, take the money." Liu Yuan said with a chuckle, when Zhang Erhe handed over the five hundred yuan to the woman, he obviously felt a trace of gratitude on her face, and after saying thank you, he pulled the little boy to leave.
"Wait, eldest sister, all I gave you was the information fee, and I haven't given you the money for this thing yet." Liu Yuan is always able to whet everyone's appetite, so when he said this, not only everyone present was shocked, but even Zhang Erhe stared at him like Shabi, but these eyes were all automatically filtered out by Liu Yuan.
"Eldest sister, this thing of yours is indeed an antique, and it is genuine, I bid 20,000 yuan and accepted it." Liu Yuan said so, and this time everyone was not shocked, the house was full of uproar, 20,000, or the price that people voluntarily paid, what is this not a fool?
"What? Little brother, what's going on? Lao Qian was shocked by Liu Yuan's words, turned his head to look at Zhang Erhe, and saw that he was also average, and couldn't help but twitch twice on his face, this, this, this is too strange.
"I think you must not believe it, but this thing may not be worth the price to others, but it is attractive enough for me, I was originally a collector, and the scale is a type of scale I collect, this iron lump is actually a scale in the Qing Dynasty, but the corrosion is too serious, but for me, as long as it is something that I think is good, I will definitely not lose everyone, because I need it, it's as simple as that, big sister, are you still satisfied with this price?" After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he said to the woman with a shocked face.
