I bought three good things in one stall, maybe my luck was overdrawn, and Meng Songhai visited several stalls in a row, but I didn't see anything worth spending money on.

Meng Songhai met the smiling little flat-headed Boss Liu head-on, and greeted: "Boss Liu, see that you are so happy, have you missed it?" ”

"I'm happy to see you, hehe, picked up a small leak."

"Can you show me?"

"Yes!" Xiao Pingtou put the wooden box he was holding in both hands on the ground, took out a Hetian jade handle from his trouser pocket, and said: "I bought this handle for fifty yuan, Hetian jade seeds, look at this white jade, the same as mutton fat, authentic mutton fat jade." ”

"Congratulations." Meng Songhai smiled and congratulated, thinking in his heart, Xiao Pingtou spent fifty yuan to buy this handle, which is considered to be a leak, then he spent three hundred and fifty yuan to buy a Hetian jade ornament that is several times larger, and the jade quality and carving are better, and the leakage will be even greater.

"What kind of treasure are you holding in your hand, and you have a newspaper wrap in it." Xiao Pingtou asked curiously.

"Want to see it?" Meng Songhai asked with a smile.

"I'm curious." Xiao Pingtou smiled.

"I just invited a Maitreya Buddha!" Meng Songhai said and opened the newspaper wrapped in the ornament.

Xiao Pingtou saw the ornament in Meng Songhai's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, he didn't want Meng Songhai to see that he was interested in this object, his surprise flashed, and he said in a flat tone: "Xiao Meng, can you show me?" ”

"Yes, be careful."

Xiao Pingtou put away the handle in his hand, put the handbag under his armpits, spread his hands, and took the jade Buddha ornament from Meng Songhai's hand.

Xiao Pingtou looked down for a while, and while looking, he gently touched the Jade Buddha's stomach with his hand.

"Sell?"

"It's not to sell, it's to give, it's to give." Meng Songhai smiled, "If the price is right, send it." ”

In antique shops, when buying and selling objects of religious belief, such as Buddhist shrines in front of the case, the word "please" is used to represent purchase, while "sell" is replaced by words such as "transfer" and "send away".

"How about two hundred?"

"Boss Liu, are you kidding?" Meng Songhai laughed, "Look at this material, it weighs almost two catties, sprinkled with gold skin seeds, this skin is good-looking, just now you said that the handle you bought is mutton fat jade, I think this is the authentic mutton fat jade, as well as this carving, this Maitreya Buddha, are all expressive, the general jade carving master must not have this craft, it must be the work of the jade carving master, and this pulp, said that a hundred years of history, is short, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a jade in the Kangqian period, enshrined in the palace. ”

"You're really talkative." Xiao Pingtou smiled and said, "How much did you spend?" ”

"You just offered two hundred, and the fraction hasn't arrived yet. The price is not right, so I keep it for myself, my father's birthday is approaching, I give it as a gift to my father, I think it is appropriate. ”

"I want to invite this Jade Buddha, you can tell me a price."

"Ten thousand."

"What?" Xiao Pingtou's eyes widened and he smiled, "It's your turn to joke?" ”

"I'm not kidding." Meng Songhai said, "This jade Buddha is sent to Hong Kong, and it can definitely be auctioned at Christie's and Sotheby's, and after the publicity of the auction company, it is possible to increase the size of tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000." ”

"You also know the two major auction houses of Christie's and Sotheby's." Xiao Pingtou looked at Meng Songhai a few times with a little curiosity, shook his head with a smile and said, "Although you have some knowledge, but you overestimate the market price of this Jade Buddha, even if you get it to Hong Kong, 10,000 yuan, it will be up to the sky, and you still need to meet a buyer who likes it very much...... Give it back to you, 10,000, it's too high. ”

Meng Songhai also knew that his offer price of 10,000 yuan was a bit high, but he also knew that it would not be too high, and he would not sell it if it was sold at a discount of less than 5,000 yuan.

"The Buddha talks about fate!" Meng Songhai smiled faintly, raised his hands, and carefully took the Maitreya Buddha ornament from the other party's hand.

Xiao Pingtou knew very well in his heart that the Maitreya Buddha ornament in front of him was a rare treasure, and he felt that Meng Songhai's speculation was correct, it may be a work of the Kangqian period, as for whether it was enshrined in the palace, it could not be verified.

"10,000 is too high, you say a real price." Xiao Pingtou hesitated for a moment and asked, he was worried that if he didn't buy it today, he would lose his chance with this Maitreya Buddha.

"The price of marriage, eight thousand."

"Marriage price?" Xiao Pingtou smiled, "That's interesting...... The marriage price, 3,600 yuan, I invited this Buddha. ”

"Six thousand, a fixed price, one point less, then it will have nothing to do with you."

"Five thousand."

"Six thousand, no counteroffer!" Meng Songhai said in an affirmative tone, and secretly smiled in his heart, he felt that Xiao Pingtou would invite this Jade Buddha at a price of six thousand yuan.

Xiao Pingtou hesitated for a long time, nodded and said, "Six thousand is six thousand, hehe, Xiao Meng, you can be regarded as picking up a big leak." ”

"I still feel like I'm losing out. If you spend 6,000 to leave, and if you send it away, you can earn tens of thousands. ”

"I invited this Jade Buddha, but I won't send it away." Xiao Pingtou smiled and said, "Six thousand is not a small amount, I can't take out so much money for the time being, we will ...... tomorrow At half past ten in the morning, how about meeting at the restaurant where we just drank tea? ”

"You can close the deal tomorrow, but you have to pay some deposit, and if you don't show up tomorrow, the deposit will not be paid back to you."

"This ...... I don't even know where you live, I paid the deposit and can't find your person, what should I do? Xiao Pingtou asked jokingly.

"It's simple, we can go to the restaurant just now, I'll write you a receipt, and then ask the owner to vouch for me and ask her to sign it too, can you see it?"

"Okay." Xiao Pingtou said and picked up the wooden box on the ground, "Let's go." ”

When he arrived at Aunt Sun's shop, Meng Songhai smiled and said, "Aunt Sun, do you have a pen and paper here?" ”

"What's it for?" Aunt Sun asked.

"Write a receipt to this gentleman." Meng Songhai said.

"Wait a minute...... I'll make you tea first. Aunt Sun said.

"Aunt Sun, you don't need to make tea, I'll go back after writing the receipt."

After Meng Songhai and Xiao Pingtou sat down, Xiao Pingtou smiled and said, "Show me this jade Buddha again." ”

Meng Songhai did not refuse, and pushed the Hetian Jade Maitreya Buddha ornament wrapped in newspaper to the other party.

Xiao Pingtou opened the newspaper and stared at the Jade Buddha carefully.

"It's a good thing, isn't it?" Meng Songhai asked with a smile.

"To tell you the truth, it's a rare good thing!"

Aunt Sun took a piece of white paper torn from a notepad and a pen to Meng Songhai's side, put it on the table, and asked curiously, "Songhai, did you buy this Jade Buddha?" ”

"That's right, I invited it." Meng Songhai smiled, "Aunt Sun, this Mr. Liu wants to invite this Jade Buddha at a price of six thousand yuan, I will ask him to pay some deposit, and at half past ten tomorrow morning, we will come to your store to trade." I'll write the receipt, and you can sign it for me and be a witness. If tomorrow I don't come, you can take him to my house...... May I? ”

"Yes." Aunt Sun smiled and nodded, "This Jade Buddha is so expensive?" ”

"It's expensive." Meng Songhai smiled slightly, picked up the pen, pulled out the pen sleeve, looked at Xiao Pingtou, and said with a smile, "Boss Liu, haven't asked your honorable name yet?" ”

"Liu Weidong, Liu Bei's Liu, Weidong who defends the East."

"Good name, Liu Weidong Boss Liu." Meng Songhai smiled, "Well, can you give me a deposit of five hundred yuan now?" ”

"Yes."

"Then I'll write a receipt right away."

Meng Songhai wrote a receipt of more than 100 words, and after writing it, he read it again, and after making sure that it was correct, he handed it to Xiao Pingtou and asked, "Boss Liu, take a look." ”

Xiao Pingtou took the receipt, glanced at it, nodded and said, "It's well written, no problem." ”
