When Liu Weidong withdrew the money from his wallet, Meng Songhai asked Aunt Sun to sign her name next to the word "witness" on the note.

After Aunt Sun wrote down her name, Liu Weidong handed five hundred-yuan bills to Meng Songhai.

Meng Songhai accepted the money and gave the receipt to Liu Weidong.

Liu Weidong saw that Meng Songhai's expression was flat, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Meng, are you not excited at all now?" ”

Meng Songhai smiled and said, "Excited, a little excited." ”

Liu Weidong put away the note and said with a smile: "Shake hands!" ”

"Boss Liu, I should thank you."

"No thanks, I'm very happy to have bought something I like."

After shaking hands, Liu Weidong said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, I still have something to do, I have to go, maybe I won't be able to come at half past ten tomorrow, but before half past eleven, I will definitely be able to come." A few minutes late, you won't admit it. ”

"No, I'll have lunch here tomorrow, before twelve o'clock, you can come over, if you really have something to do, it's okay to be a few days late, you can't see my people, let the owner of this restaurant take you to my house...... However, it is better for us to have a gentleman's verbal agreement, if the transaction is not completed tomorrow, you will have to pay an extra hundred a day late, and in a week, I will find another buyer. ”

Liu Weidong glanced at Meng Songhai a few times, and quipped: "Don't you say that the price is too low, you won't sell it, and when it was given to your father, you changed your mind so quickly?" ”

"You can put the Jade Buddha at my father's place first, and then I will slowly find someone who is destined."

"No surprises, tomorrow morning, I'll be over. Okay, I won't tell you, I have something to do, and I'm really leaving. ”

"Boss Liu, see you tomorrow."

After Meng Songhai saw Boss Liu leave the restaurant, he turned his head and saw Aunt Sun chopping vegetables, and said with a smile: "Aunt Sun, I'll go back first, and I'll come over to get the sauce beef later." ”

"Oh!" Aunt Sun responded, "On the way back, be careful." ”

The reason why Aunt Sun said this was because she felt that Meng Songhai was carrying more than 1,000 yuan, which was too ostentatious, and she might be robbed by the little hooligans.

Meng Songhai didn't go straight home, he glanced at each stall a few times, and if he saw something good, he would stop and ask for the price.

Meng Songhai originally thought that he would have an income of 6,000 yuan tomorrow, and he could buy more antiques that he liked and had a large appreciation space in the future, but he asked a few eye-catching antiques, and the seller's price was very high, and the high price was a bit outrageous, even if he made a bid, the seller was still very high, and he suddenly thought that the news he had missed might be known by these people.

"Don't buy it, go home."

Meng Songhai muttered to himself, and was ready to go home directly, walked more than 20 meters, and saw a stall selling jade jewelry, more than ten jade bracelets, and nearly ten jade pendants, the stall owner was in his early twenties.

"Buy mom a bracelet."

Meng Songhai stopped, squatted down, and carefully looked at the jade jewelry placed on the black cloth, he picked a kind of old, good water head, with a quarter of the area of yang green round jade, the other area is colorless.

"Boss, how do you sell this bracelet?"

"Three hundred and eight."

"It's too expensive, it's cheaper." Meng Songhai said.

The tenth rebirth, at this time Meng Songhai's memory contains the memory of a businessman who has been in the jade business for many years, he knows that now, in Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, such a jade bracelet must be sold for more than five hundred, and it is possible to sell it for three or five thousand, or even tens of thousands in Hong Kong.

Although he felt that this bracelet was very cheap, Meng Song habitually made a counteroffer, not because he was not greedy, but a strategy, if he directly accepted the seller's offer, the seller would feel that the thing was sold cheaply, and the next time he came to buy something, the other party would offer a high price.

When encountering an unscrupulous hawker, the other party will say that the customer heard it wrong, and change his words to raise the price on the spot, if Meng Songhai really encounters this situation, he will really be depressed.

"Three hundred and eight is already very cheap."

"Two hundred dollars."

"No, it's three hundred and eight."

"You're cheaper, too, and let me have bargaining fun." Meng Songhai smiled.

The stall owner was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he didn't expect this young man to say such a thing, and when he thought about it, there were really people who enjoyed the fun of bargaining.

"Twenty, three hundred and six cheaper." The stall owner smiled.

"Three hundred and five."

The stall owner and Meng Songhai looked at each other a few times, nodded and said, "Three hundred and five, just three hundred and five!" ”

Meng Songhai took out 350 yuan to the stall owner and said with a smile: "It's a deal." ”

"Well, it's done."

A smile appeared on the stall owner's face, he could make a lot of money by selling this bracelet, which was not worth mentioning for Meng Songhai, who had just picked up two big leaks, but for him, it was a good income.

"How do you buy the rest?"

The stall owner was stunned for a moment and replied, "The most expensive is five hundred, and the cheapest is fifty." ”

"I don't have any money, next time I have the opportunity to buy it again, goodbye!"

Meng Songhai smiled and said goodbye to the stall owner, and he was in a very happy mood at the moment.

"I'm home."

Meng Songhai felt that in this era, as long as there are funds and time, with the assistance of discerning treasures, it is easy for him to pick up leaks, and today's harvest is rich enough, and the idea of continuing to pick up leaks has become lighter.

When he arrived at the door, Meng Songhai kicked the door a few times and shouted, "Dad, open the door, I'm back." ”

"It's coming, it's coming."

Meng Dongyao, who was doing housework, walked to the door, opened the door, saw Meng Songhai holding something in his hand, and asked, "What is in your hand?" ”

"Baby!"

Meng Songhai smiled proudly, and after entering the house, he closed the door with his feet.

"What baby?"

"Let's go to the living room and see."

When the father and son arrived in the living room, Meng Songhai put the Maitreya Buddha ornament on the coffee table and said, "I'll drink saliva first." ”

After Meng Dongyao sat down, he opened the newspaper holding the ornament, saw the true face of the ornament, picked it up, looked at it carefully, and muttered: "Good thing!" ”

Meng Songhai poured a glass of water, drank the water, walked to his father and sat down, and said with a smile: "Dad, guess how much it cost me to invite such a jade Buddha?" ”

"You bought it with private money?"

"Hmm!"

Meng Dongyao glanced at it a few more times and said with a smile: "It's hard to guess, it feels quite expensive, but I know that you don't have much private money." Hehe, let's talk, how much did it cost. ”

"Six thousand."

"What?" Meng Dongyao's eyes widened and he said in surprise, "Where did you get the money?" ”

"Six thousand, I said this jade Buddha is worth six thousand." Meng Songhai said with a smile, "The price of the purchase is not so high, only three hundred and fifty yuan." ”

"Why do you have so much money?" Meng Dongyao frowned and asked, he didn't believe that Meng Songhai had three hundred and fifty yuan of private money, "You asked others to borrow money?" ”

"I'm not going to sell it, I'll tell you everything that happened after I went out......"

Meng Song crossed the sea and took a sip of tea, and continued: "That's right, I went out and met a person who set up a stall, and saw a purple clay pot made by a purple sand pottery master, and after some bargaining, I bought it for thirty yuan, and sold it for nine hundred and thirty yuan. After that, I bought it for three hundred and fifty yuan, no, I invited this Maitreya Buddha......"

Meng Songhai said and took out a bracelet from his pocket, a pair of walnuts and a copper coin, and continued, "I also bought this pair of walnuts, as well as this ancient coin of 'one knife is five thousand'. Soon after I finished buying, I met the owner who had just bought the purple clay pot from me, and he looked at the Maitreya Buddha I had just invited, and after bargaining, it was sold for 6,000 yuan......"

"Since the deal is sold, why is this Maitreya Buddha still in your hands?"

"He didn't have so much cash in his hand, so I made an appointment with him to go to Uncle Yang's restaurant at noon tomorrow to trade, and I asked him to pay a deposit of 500 yuan."

Meng Dongyao glanced at Meng Songhai a few times and asked, "You didn't lie to me. ”

"Really six thousand!" Meng Songhai nodded with a smile and said, "What am I lying to you for, the deposit of five hundred is in my pocket." ”

"This bracelet is jadeite, right? How much did you buy it? ”

"It's jadeite, it also cost three hundred and fifty yuan, I think it's quite cost-effective, give it to my mother to wear, count me as filial piety to her."

"I've grown up, I'm sensible, and I know how to honor my mother." Meng Dongyao was pleased, "You buy this jade bracelet, I have no objection, it's okay to buy this copper coin, but this walnut ...... As far as I know, in the past, the children of Eight Banners liked to carry cages and play with walnuts...... What are you buying it for? ”

At the end, Meng Yao straightened his face.

"Dad, look at this pair of walnuts, three-edged lion-headed walnuts, they are so big, they can be regarded as the best."

Meng Songhai smiled and introduced, "You see, the shape of this pair of walnuts is round and solemn, and the texture is delicate and hard; The three edges are broad and straight, sharp and obtuse and rounded; The surface is dotted with reticular protrusions, and the texture is clear; The color is bronze, the pulp is delicate, and it shimmers with a gemstone luster like red agate, and it feels warm and moist like jade. The pulp is so good, it is definitely a hundred years old object, and this pair of three-edged lion's head walnuts can be described as an excellent match in terms of shape, texture and color, which can be called a rare cultural walnut boutique. ”
