Chapter 390: The drunkard's intention is not to drink
Of course, Wang Guan would not doubt Yu Feibai's words, and at the same time looked at Li Fan with a little more pity, he didn't understand what kind of character he had provoked, and it was estimated that the end would be miserable.\\
Of course, this was Li Fan's own request, and Wang Guan naturally did not have any sympathy. After that, Wang Guan calmly watched the police take the two of them away, and walked towards Xiaoshan Pavilion with a lot of things.
As for the crowd of onlookers, there must have been a lot of discussions, strongly condemning the act of touching porcelain, and warning everyone to be careful not to be falsely accused...... In the end, they also dispersed in twos and threes.
At the same time, Wang Guan stuffed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he bought into the trunk of the car, closed the lid of the box, and when he was about to turn around, he felt that his elbow touched something.
"Bang!"
Hearing the sound of things falling to the ground, Wang Guan's first reaction was to encounter porcelain again.
Thinking of this, Wang Guan frowned and turned to look over. I saw a middle-aged man who was over half a hundred years old and had traces of wind and frost on his face, passing by with a few bird cages. Since the vehicle was parked on the side of the road, when Wang Guan turned around and swayed, he happened to touch a birdcage behind the middle-aged man's flat shoulder.
At this time, the middle-aged man stopped, put down the flat pole and hurriedly checked the fallen birdcage, and found that there was no damage, so he immediately showed a relaxed smile, and then looked up and said, "Little brother, didn't hurt you, right?" ”
The implication is that he takes the responsibility on his shoulders. When Wang Guan heard this, he immediately felt a little ashamed, and felt that he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Because of a black sheep, he thinks that all horses in the world are bad, which is inevitably biased.
After self-reflection, Wang Guan hurriedly said: "Uncle, I'm fine, your cage is not broken, right?" ”
"It's not bad, I'm made of bamboo and rattan, it's lightweight, strong and resistant to falling." The middle-aged man smiled honestly: "If it breaks if it falls, I won't take it out and sell it." ”
"The quality is so good." Wang Guan praised it, and also took a look at the birdcage and found that the birdcage was very chic. This is an imitation of the classical architectural style of the eaves and corners of the birdcage, the top of the traditional palace structure, the eaves and corners, the bucket arch painting, the pillar of the golden top, the interior and exterior decoration is extremely exquisite.
At first glance, Wang Guan was a little surprised, he had naturally seen a cage for raising birds, and Tang Qinghua's office hung one. But it is rare to see such a complex structure, and I feel that the cage where the birds live is actually better than the houses where people live.
"Uncle, did you make the cage?" Wang Guan sincerely admired: "It is definitely the top level." ”
"Haha, it's average, it's just a mixed mouth." The middle-aged man said modestly, but there was a bit of self-satisfaction in his eyebrows, obviously he was also confident in his craft.
"Uncle, how do you sell this thing?" Wang Guan asked, but he planned to buy a cage and give it to Zhou Lao with a pair of birds. After all, for the elderly, raising birds is also an elegant and pleasant thing.
Of course, it is not that Wang Guan feels that he has wronged others and plans to buy a cage to compensate for it.
"You want?"
At this time, the middle-aged man was a little surprised, and hesitated: "But the cage store has already booked ......"
"Booked all, still booked a few. Or, uncle, if you take a few of them, how many will the store want? Wang Guan said with a smile: "If it is the latter situation, you might as well sell one to me, and you can completely follow the market price." Anyway, I think that instead of letting the merchant make the difference, it is better to give it directly to you, uncle. ”
The middle-aged man was a little shaken, and asked, "Do you really want to?" These cages don't come cheap. ”
"I'm using it to give it away, and I can't take it if it's cheap." Wang Guan smiled: "You can quote a price." ”
"Three thousand!"
The middle-aged man hesitated, stretched out his hand and three fingers, afraid that Wang Guan would not believe it, and hurriedly explained: "The production of my cage is very particular, using the best bamboo, after cutting, cooking, drying, stripping, grinding and other processes before making it. Such a cage, as long as it is not deliberately tossed, can be guaranteed not to break for decades......"
"I believe uncle." Wang Guan smiled, and did not make a counteroffer, turned around and went to the bank counter next to him to take out the cash, counted it and handed it over directly.
"Then thank you little brother for your help." The middle-aged man grinned, counted the money, and gestured: "The cages are all here, which one of you like, just take it." ”
"Then you're welcome." Wang Guan smiled, and picked up the one he had touched.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately understood Wang Guan's thoughts, and the action of counting the money also stopped, and he was a little embarrassed and said: "Little brother, the thing is not broken, you don't need to do this." ”
"Uncle, what did you say?" Wang Guan chuckled and said: "Actually, the reason why I want this is because I like it to be resistant to falling." At least this is something I've seen with my own eyes that it won't break, and the rest is always hard to deliberately test. ”
Wang Guan said so, and the middle-aged man was no longer hypocritical, so after collecting the money and smiling warmly at Wang Guan, he picked up the remaining birdcages and walked slowly.
At this time, Wang Guan was also in a good mood, his fingers were hooking the birdcage, and his steps were swaying outward, quite a bit like the children of the Eight Banners. Unfortunately, it's an empty cage, and if there's a bird in the cage, it's even more like that.
"Go back to Tang Qinghua and ask, where is the huā bird market, and then go buy a pair of larks, yellow warblers, starlings or something...... Wang Guan pondered, turned around and walked into Xiaoshan Pavilion.
At this moment, a voice came from the cold: "Little brother, wait!" ”
"Huh?"
Wang Guan was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw an old man in a black silk Tang costume walking behind him, and he also carried a cage in his hand, and in the cage was a red and green parrot. At this time, the parrot shouted with a sharp voice: "Auspicious wishes, auspicious wishes, longevity, longevity, longevity ......"
"Old man, you were calling me just now?" Wang Guan was a little confused.
"That's right, it's me." The old man in Tang costume smiled and said: "Little brother, I saw what happened just now, it's rare that you have this kindness, it's very good." ”
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment." Wang Guan smiled, feeling that the old man in Tang costume should have a following, and he would not just come to praise himself.
Sure enough, the old man in Tang costume continued: "In addition, I think this cage is very good-shaped, and I just wanted to buy it, but you took the lead. So I want to ask you, is there any meaning of transfer? ”
"Old man, you're not joking, are you?" Wang Guan was a little surprised, and compared the cage in his hand with the cage in the hand of the old man in Tang costume, he could find that the cage in the hand of the old man in Tang costume was not inferior to the cage he bought.
Besides, the cage in the hand of the old man in Tang costume is not broken, and there is no need to replace it.
"Hehe, little brother, don't think that my family just has this parrot." The old man in Tang costume seemed to understand Wang Guan's thoughts, and immediately smiled and explained: "Just yesterday, someone gave me a pair of yellow birds, and I am living with two larks. No, now it's time to come out and buy them a home. ”
"Oh......"
Wang Guan was stunned, and at the same time shook his head and smiled: "Old man, I'm sorry." I keep things that are useful, and I can't transfer them to you. By the way, the uncle just now shouldn't have gone far, so you should catch up and buy another cage from him. ”
"I just like it." The old man in Tang costume was a little stubborn: "I don't like the others." ”
"Old man, it's just a birdcage, it's either square or round, how can there be any style." Wang Guan said with a smile: "As for these cornices and corners, I see that the cage that the uncle just carried also has it, and the style is the same." ”
"How can it be the same......"
The old man in Tang costume argued, and after a little hesitation, he immediately said: "This is more resistant to falling, and it is not broken by what I have seen with my own eyes, and who knows if the others are inferior." ”
For a moment, Wang Guan's expression was a little strange, so familiar with the reason, it seems that he had heard it somewhere.
"Okay, you should take care of the elderly. How much did you buy this thing? Three thousand, right, then I'll add five ......hundred to you," the old man in Tang costume chattered, and even took out his wallet.
At the beginning, Wang Guan didn't suspect anything. However, seeing the eager actions of the old man in Tang costume made Wang Guan a little more suspicious. Although the shape of the thing is good, and the structure is quite chic, it is just an ordinary birdcage, so there is no need to grab it so much.
The inexplicable sensitivity made Wang Guan carefully look at the old man in Tang costume, and immediately found that he was very tasteful, not only carrying the cage and slipping the bird, but also wearing a wrench on his thumb.
Wang Guan's eyes were bright, just a glance, he found that the wrench was the texture of jadeite, that touch of yang green luster is very moving, the water head is also very sufficient, it is definitely a fine jadeite. And regardless of whether the jade wrench is handed down from ancient times or the latest carved and made things, the value is definitely not low anyway.
In addition, Wang Guan's eyes were wrenched in the hands of the old man in Tang costumes, and he moved to the cage he was carrying. After careful consideration, Wang Guan made a new discovery. This cage is very quaint, the outer frame is the finest purple bamboo texture, but the inner shelf, which is grasped by the parrot's two claws, is a tooth-yellow stick shaft.
Wang Guan didn't get started, and he wasn't sure what the stick shaft was, but based on experience and feeling, it should be boxwood.
It is a precious purple bamboo, boxwood, and an ancient atmosphere, it can be seen that the cage should be some years old, maybe it is something handed down from the Republic of China in the late Qing Dynasty. Such an old man, carrying such a cage, but he had to buy an ordinary thing, how could it make Wang Guan feel that something was wrong, maybe the drunkard didn't mean to drink.
"Little brother, I asked you if you sell things, what are you always staring at me?" At the same time, the old man in Tang costume said with a displeased face: "Do you think that three thousand and five are less, then I will add another hundred, three thousand and six lines." ”
"Old man, I really have something to use." Wang Guan's mind turned, and he smiled euphemistically: "You better go to the huā bird market and have a look, there must be a better one there." ”
Wang Guan's attitude insisted, but the old man in Tang costume was very disappointed, and couldn't help muttering: "Today's young people don't know more and more about respecting ......the old and loving the young" (to be continued)
