Chapter 10 Can You Afford It?

When introducing the pair of three-edged lion-headed walnuts, Meng Songhai talked eloquently, which surprised his father a little.

After Meng Songhai said a lot, he noticed the slightly surprised expression on his father's face, and he smiled awkwardly.

"Dad, don't think I don't learn well, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, it's not a bad thing to know more about collecting. Let's just say that I bought a purple clay pot and invited this Maitreya Buddha, and it took less than an hour before and after, and I earned 6,550 yuan. This is not a small amount, and many people don't make that much money in a year. ”

"Do you think you're amazing?" Meng Dongyao asked in a flat tone, he agreed with what the young son said, but he really didn't want the young son to be too addicted to antiques.

"I don't think so." Meng Songhai denied it with a smile, he was a little disappreciative in his heart, not to mention his eyesight, he had the magic power of discerning treasures, although he could only use it twice a day, but this was already very rebellious.

The father and son looked at each other a few times, and Meng Songhai said again: "Dad, when the transaction is completed tomorrow, I will give you 3,000, and I will keep 3,000 for myself." I rely on this capital to do business, whether it is a profit or a loss, I no longer ask my family for money, nor do I borrow money from others...... Did you say yes? ”

"You...... Are you really planning to stop repeating it? ”

"It's not that school hasn't started yet, and in the next month, I'll prove to you that I'm a good fit for the antiques business."

"You, don't be overconfident, it's your luck to make money this time." Meng Dongyao said with a straight face.

"I know, I'll be careful." Meng Songhai laughed and said, "I left three thousand for you just to prevent you and my mother from worrying about losing all the money." ”

"You're pretty good at thinking about me and you/mom/." A smile appeared on Meng Dongyao's face.

Meng Songhai picked up a pair of walnuts on the coffee table, handed them to his father, and said: "I bought this pair of walnuts, in addition to being optimistic about the appreciation space of this pair of walnuts, the main purpose is to give it to you to play." According to the research of scientists in the medical field, people often play with walnuts, which can familiarize themselves with the meridians on their hands, which is good for the body. ”

"You just talk about it, why haven't I heard anyone say it, if that's the case, there aren't many people playing with walnuts."

Meng Dongyao smiled and took the pair of walnuts, finished the dish without a teacher, and asked, "Is this how you play?" ”

"You are a martial arts plate, and there is a higher realm is a literary plate, when the plate is finished, the two walnuts will not collide."

Meng Dongyao tried it a few times and said with a smile: "It's a bit difficult to play like this." ”

"You can play slowly, just get used to it."

"How much did this pair of walnuts cost?" Meng Dongyao asked curiously.

"Three bucks."

"Three bucks?" Meng Dongyao laughed, "If I didn't know that you made money, and you spent three yuan to buy such a pair of walnuts, I would really beat you and scold you." ”

"And now?" Meng Songhai asked with a smile.

"I've bought everything, what else can I say?!" Meng Dongyao said lightly, looked down at the ancient coins on the coffee table, and asked, "This copper coin is quite strange, I haven't seen it before, isn't it cheap?" ”

"Five bucks."

"It's not cheap."

"Dad, do you believe it, I'll go out, and in one day, I can sell this ancient coin for twenty yuan."

"I believe it." Meng Dongyao smiled, "Are you going to sell it right away?" ”

"I don't plan to sell it for the time being, I collect it myself." Meng Dongyao picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and continued, "Dad, when you play with this pair of walnuts in the future, your hands must be clean, and when you sweat, you can't play, and you can't get wet, although I bought it for three yuan, and others are ten or twenty yuan, don't think it's profitable, so you sell it." ”

"Even if someone else bids a thousand, I won't sell it, okay?" Meng Dongyao said with a smile.

"Then it doesn't have to be like this, if someone really bids a thousand, then we still have to sell." Meng Yaoting said with a smile, "You like to play with walnuts, in the future, I can buy some new walnuts for you." After playing for a long time, walnuts will become beautiful and you will have a sense of accomplishment. ”

"Listen to you, walnuts that have been played for a long time are worth more than new walnuts."

"Under normal circumstances, if you don't play well and destroy the walnuts, then the walnuts are worthless."

Meng Dongyao stared at the young son for a few moments and asked, "How did you know these things?" ”

Meng Songhai smiled awkwardly: "You just treat me as a teacher." ”

"Humph!" Meng Dongyao glared at his young son, "You, you just read too many idle books, otherwise, you wouldn't have been admitted to college." ”

"The eldest brother and the second brother were not admitted to college, only the second sister went to college, and I know that you would like me to go to college...... I'm ...... now."

Meng Songhai sighed lightly as he spoke, and continued, "Dad, I won't say more, give me half a month, and let me prove to you that even if I don't go to college, I can live well." ”

"You don't have to rush to prove anything to me, if you really think you can eat the antique shop, you can do it!"

"Dad, thank you!"

"You kid, thank you, as long as you are doing well, your mother and I are happy for you."

Meng Songhai drank the water in the water cup, put down the cup, stood up, and said with a smile: "I won't talk to you anymore, I have to go out." Later, I'll buy some sauce beef from the restaurant and come back, and at noon, don't cook too much food. ”

"Don't make some money, it's all at once." Meng Dongyao reminded.

"No, it won't." Meng Songhai said with a smile, "Dad, this Jade Buddha, and this coin, you can help me put it away, and tomorrow, you will accompany me to trade." ”

Saying goodbye to his father, Meng Songhai went out.

Meng Songhai doesn't particularly want to collect antiques for the time being, he only hopes to buy more antiques with appreciation potential now, if he can "pick up the leaks", buy at a low price, and sell at a high price immediately, it would be better.

Meng Songhai has the magic power of "discerning treasures", but can not be used indefinitely, he knows that many inconspicuous objects at first glance are likely to be valuable antiques, he wanted to look at a stall by stall, looked at the goods of the two stalls, he noticed a middle-aged man in his forties and a stall in his twenties not far away bargaining, hearing their conversation, he became interested and leaned over.

"The price is 600 yuan, if you want it, just buy it, don't want it, don't talk nonsense with me, it's obviously Ming Chenghua porcelain, and you say that it was imitated by the Qing Dynasty, it's too annoying." The stall owner shouted with a red neck.

"Don't be angry, I'm not talking about it!" The middle-aged man sneered, "Six hundred is too expensive, let's keep someone who is destined." ”

The middle-aged man put down the small bucket color cover irrigation in his hand, Meng Songhai looked at this cover irrigation a few times, and knew that it was Tianzi irrigation, if it was really in the Ming Chenghua period, not imitated by later generations, it was sold for six hundred yuan now, and it was really not expensive.

"What are you looking at?!" The stall owner glared at Meng Songhai unhappily, he felt that this person was not like a rich winner, since he couldn't be a customer, he didn't bother to lose his smile.

"Huh!" Meng Songhai smiled slightly, pointed to the small cover on the stall, and asked, "Can I take a look?" ”

"Six hundred dollars, can you afford it?" The stall owner said disdainfully, "If you can't afford it, don't look at it." ”

"Tempered enough." Meng Songhai muttered to himself, he didn't get angry with the other party, if this was a real thing, then he bought it for six hundred yuan, it was a leak, he didn't talk nonsense, he took out the money directly from his pocket, spread his hand, let the stall owner see the banknotes in his hand, and asked lightly, "Can you see it?" ”

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, his face was full of smiles, and he nodded: "Yes, you can look at it casually." ”
