Although Wu Chen's English was not bad when he was studying, he had no choice but to fall behind because he had been useless in the past few years, but Huang Xiaolin had lived abroad for a while, and his level was still there, so he took the initiative to stand up and become a translator because he saw that they were talking big.

The two sides of the dispute were already anxious, but now that they see someone coming forward as a translator, the scene has moved from a quarrel to a defense link.

After arguing for a long time, the two sides naturally inevitably added oil and vinegar to each other, and after everyone listened, they automatically squeezed the water, and roughly figured out the reason.

It turned out that yesterday, these two old blacks were in this store, optimistic about a root carving. The proprietress according to the habit, and see that they are ghosts, naturally the root carving is blown to the sky and the ground, swear that this is the old red sandalwood made, the ancestral rare objects, flickering two old black eyebrows smiled, spent more than 5,000 yuan to buy this root carving.

Unexpectedly, after the two old blacks were brought back, they gathered in the circle of friends at night and showed off, and they were ridiculed by their friends at that time, saying that where is this old red sandalwood, it is clearly ordinary wood! It's not right to say that this is ordinary wood, but there have always been many things that hurt each other between friends.

These two old blacks, both from South Africa, came to Guangzhou to sell clothing, usually have their own circle, because they have been here for a long time, so they claim to be Chinese experts, and they are also "experts" in Chinese affairs in the circle.

After today's things are done, I made an appointment, came to the door angrily, settled accounts with the proprietress, and asked for a return! Our black buddies don't make easy money, reselling and buying across continents, tossing back and forth, all of them are some cheap clothes, do you really think that Africa is all chiefs!

Where is the proprietress willing, and the things that are shot are still taken back, there is no such rule in this industry! The two sides couldn't hold each other, so they quarreled.

Director He is embarrassed now, he is annoyed by this! Regardless of the location, buying and selling is consensual. This antique market is even more special, in this industry the value of the object is really not easy to measure, not to mention the difference between the genuine and the fake, that is, the same genuine product, in the end the price geometry, but also have their own valuation, whether you can buy something worth the money, all depends on the experience of each person.

Having said that, this proprietress does have foolish words and deeds, although she does not force her to buy and sell, but it is okay to say that it is a fraud, and as a market manager, she also has the responsibility to supervise this kind of behavior. But who doesn't do this business with two mouths?

He has the heart to help the proprietress a hand, firstly, people rent stalls here, pay rent every year, and they can be regarded as parents of food and clothing, and secondly, he really has no good impression of foreigners in his heart, no matter what white skin and black skin it is, it is not a good bird! I won't mention the old things of the old generation, and now these people come to Guangfu, either to have nothing to do all day long, or to soak in the bar with young girls!

But so many people watched, and it was not good, so they had to say, "Pack up, follow us to the management office, explain the matter clearly, by the way, bring that root carving." He turned to Huang Xiaolin and said, "Thank you for your hard work, beautiful girl, I have to trouble you to help me again and go to be a translator." ”

In the end, he is a small "official", there are still factions, and he ignored them after speaking, and took the lead in separating the crowd and walked out, driving people away as he went, "Scattered, scattered, scattered, what's so good!" ”

Everyone was gone, and the little shopkeeper who came with Wu Chen and them also sighed, thinking that no one was watching the store, so he hurriedly ran back to see the store, leaving only a few people who had nothing to do and walked towards the management office.

"Sit down! Don't be noisy! When he arrived at the management office, Director He saw that the two sides were about to quarrel again, so he yelled, "Do you want to be private or public, and discuss a way to come up yourself." Then he said to a staff member, "You're in charge of the records." After saying that, he walked out of the road, picked up his mobile phone, and called.

Wu Chen saw that Huang Xiaolin was busy translating, so he took the root carving from a, and this thing was the source of the quarrel.

The root carving felt very heavy as soon as he started, Wu Chen was a little surprised, such a heavy wood is rare even if it is not red sandalwood, why don't these two black buddies want 5,000 yuan? Simply found a stool to sit down, carefully inspect this root carving, the more you look at it, the more strange it becomes, this old longevity root carving, the whole is black and purple, the shell is well pulped, slightly matte, thirty centimeters long, the thickness is very sufficient, and the density seems to be abnormal.

Wu Chen felt strange, and opened it to look at the base, if it was red sandalwood, the back lines and stripes would reveal a luster, and the annual ring lines were like stirred silks, and the subtle ones were almost invisible.

But the result made Wu Chen very disappointed, not only did he not have the characteristics of red sandalwood, but there were also slight scars on it, which basically judged that the thing was not red sandalwood, but why was it so heavy?

He secretly picked a few times at the edge with his nails, the wood is not loose, but you can also see the imprints, the inside turned out to be dark yellow wood, put his nose over and smelled it, a smell of camphor wood, this thing is actually camphor wood root, but the outside is coated with a layer of purple and black lacquer, so it was fooled by the proprietress into red sandalwood to buy.

But why is it so heavy, if it is said that it is to imitate red sandalwood when it is done, then it should be painted on the lines, and now I can see it as a layman, how can I fool those insiders?

With questions, Wu Chen carefully looked at the wood carving itself, the round carving birthday star had a full face, a kind expression, holding Ruyi, and the boy beside him carried it, the painting was vivid, like a secular scene.

Shou Xing, also known as the Antarctic Immortal or Antarctic Old Man, is the god of longevity in folklore. Its image is mostly an old man with a staff in one hand and a peach in the other, silver hair and long beard, high head and forehead, big ears and short body, and a kind face. People often put it together with the lucky star and the Lu star, and worship it at the same time, collectively called "Fu Lu Shou", which is one of the most secular immortals.

However, the average birthday boy is a seated person, and there are few such standing people. And this root carving is finely carved as a whole, and the knife is skillful, especially the facial treatment, lifelike, it is really not carved out by ordinary people, even if it is camphor wood, if it is an old thing, it is worth five thousand yuan!

Wu Chen's heart moved, he had never dared to use the abilities in his eyes before, mainly because he wanted to learn more, and he couldn't keep making half a bucket. Now this root carving is really weird, since the "research" has passed, you might as well cheat.

There was still an argument over there, the proprietress was already shouting tired and drinking water, and there was only one black buddy muttering. Wu Chen saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he turned his body slightly, and looked intently, only to see a dark yellow shrouded in the root carving, it seems that it is really an old thing in the Ming Dynasty, there was a root carving at that time?

Wu Chen is not allowed to be surprised, his eyes have slowly entered the root carving, the internal fiber organization is very fine, the annular texture is like flowing water, and the line of sight goes inside, and suddenly a bright orange yellow flashes, and there is something hidden inside!

"Smack!" "What the hell is going on!" Wu Chen was about to take a closer look, when a loud roar startled him, his eyes immediately shifted out, and when he looked up, he saw Director He slapping the table violently, his two eyes glaring like bull's eyes.

Wu Chen was a little puzzled, looked at Huang Xiaolin, his eyes were full of questions. Huang Xiaolin walked over and said with a grin: "There are elm pimples on both sides, it doesn't make sense!" That Director He was probably annoyed to death. "Thousands of dollars, I haven't negotiated it for a long time, Director He is crazy.

"Why don't I buy it?" Wu Chen thought about it, and suddenly whispered in Huang Xiaolin's ear.

Huang Xiaolin glanced at him, and then looked at the root carving in his hand, although she felt a little sudden, but Wu Chen is not the kind of person who talks casually, so she doesn't object, it's a big deal to buy it from Wu Chen and give it to her father at home.

For a few thousand dollars, she acted as a translator for half a day, and neither side was a good negotiator, but she was tired! Director He doesn't lose her temper, and she Miss Huang is going to lose her temper.

Wu Chen made up his mind, and while everyone was still shocked by Director He, and no one spoke, he stood up and said, "Don't fight, waste everyone's time." This thing is five thousand dollars, right? I bought it, and it's over, how?! "Everyone was a little stunned when they heard it, they had never heard that peace was always so deserved.

The proprietress and the two black buddies didn't answer yet, but Director He said first: "Pretty boy, you don't need to break the bank, this matter is enough to trouble the two of you, where can you still pay for it, it's not so reasonable!" ”

He was kind, but he made Wu Chen worried, what excuse should he think of!

"Hehe, Director He, we are also here to buy things for the old man today, this birthday star root carving is very good, the meaning is just right." Huang Xiaolin saw Wu Chen frowning, and knew that he really wanted it, and it might not be as simple as being a good man.

"So?" Director He pondered for a while, and thought of a way, the things were transferred to Wu Chen, Wu Chen gave the two gangsters 5,000 yuan, and the proprietress returned 2,000 yuan to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen was afraid of long nights and dreams, and wanted to say that he didn't need the boss to return the money, but he was afraid that everyone would be suspicious, so he had to nod at Director He's words.

The proprietress saw that someone came out to relieve the siege, but she was also happy, anyway, the right to sell this thing for 3,000, it was not bad. She doesn't care about the 5,000 yuan, she is mainly afraid of word of mouth if she doesn't return the goods, this matter has been rumored, what will she do in the future, and now she sees that someone is willing to take over, and she is naturally happy in her heart.

The two black buddies didn't have anything to say, they had been arguing for a long time, their lips were dry, and they were already impatient, and they threatened to smash the eagle several times, and they didn't want any money! Now I can recover my capital, of course, no two words. The three parties can shoot it together, Wu Chen went to the door and took 3,000 yuan, together with the 2,000 yuan given to him by the proprietress, and gave it to Lao Hei together, and left with Gendiao and Huang Xiaolin.
