Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Black Market
Boss Chen was heartbroken, and without saying a word, he directly picked up the gilt bottle of Jiaolong Peony Medicine in the brocade box, and smashed it on the ground with both hands over the top, only to hear a crisp sound and the porcelain pieces splashed.
"Since it's fake, don't do it!" Boss Chen said resentfully.
Su Xiujin saw that Mrs. Chen only frowned and lamented for a few words, and did not mean to blame, so she thought about it. The Chen Family Medical Center has only been in Ningxi Town for more than ten years, and I heard that the Chen family also moved over more than ten years ago, and can gain a foothold in Ningxi Town in this short period of more than ten years, settle down, and carry forward the family business, and the reputation is so good, so that the neighbors of Ningxi Town are praised, which shows that the Chen family must have something extraordinary.
Two hundred taels is not too much to be able to see the fake and not choose to continue to sell the fake things to others, in order to alleviate his losses, but Boss Chen has the courage to be a qualified businessman.
Mrs. Chen called someone to clean the porcelain, and after three rounds of tea, Mrs. Chen said a few more homely words, and Su Xiujin saw that both of them were not interested, so she got up and said goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Master Chen looked Su Xiujin up and down, and then hesitated and said, "Miss Su, I don't know if you are interested in going to the black market to have a look?" β
Su Xiujin asked, "Black market? The antique black market? β
Master Chen nodded: "It's a pity that you have such a vicious eye and don't go to the black market to appraise treasures." β
Su Xiujin heard his father Liang Guoxiang say in his previous life that the best antiques are in the black market, just like the gambling stones in jade, if you have a vision, the things you can buy for a few pennies can be sold for hundreds of gold, and if you are a novice, it is common for people to be cheated and bankrupt.
"Ningxi town to and from a lot of business travel, this from all over the antique dealers are also countless, in the past few years they have flocked to Suzhou City, only heard that there is a young lady in Suzhou City has become a Pujia Building, literati from all over the world are rushing to go there, every fifteenth day of the first day there is an auction, all kinds of antiques can be sold at a sky-high price under the premise of raising the price."
Su Xiujin frowned slightly when she heard this, this method of raising the price to auction antiques may also be thought up by Su Changfang, antiques can't raise the price the most, even if there are so many pieces of one or two auctions for a sky-high price, it is also bought by people for the sake of face, and this favor must be repaid in the future, I don't know if Su Changfang understands this truth.
"There is a black market in Ningxi Town, from the time of the child to the time of the Yin, Ming'er is seventeen, there is just a black market, Miss Su, if you are interested, please go and take a look."
Su Xiujin only thought for a moment before nodding and agreeing.
Boss Chen had joy on his face, and with Su Xiujin's vision, he might be able to find a lot of treasures, and he might be able to learn more antique things.
It was getting late, Su Xiujin hurried back to the village, Mrs. Chen was also going to go to the hospital, because she liked Su Xiujin, she said a lot of things along the way, Su Xiujin spoke decently, her attitude was respectful, and Mrs. Chen was even more happy.
Passing by West Street, Su Xiujin saw from a distance that the tea shop had been renovated, the shed had been thickened by two points, the tables, chairs, benches, teapots and dishes were polished, and Jin Da Niu's sturdy body was constantly busy behind the pancake stall, with quick movements in his hands, and after a while, a packed pancake fruit was packed into a paper bag. It's just that the weather is hot, and it's afternoon again, the sweat on Jin Daniu's body is pouring out layer by layer, and he has a towel around his neck, which is already wet.
"Miss Su, what are you looking at?" Mrs. Chen followed her gaze.
Su Xiujin said unabashedly: "That's my grandson." Su Xiujin pointed in the direction of the pancake shop.
When Mrs. Chen took a look, she saw a strong man sweating like rain behind the shop, with a sturdy body and a tall body, nine feet, like a butcher.
Mrs. Chen hesitated a little, and looked at the delicate and weak Su Xiujin in front of her, and it was really hard to imagine what these two people looked like when they stood together.
"Cui'er, you go buy some pancakes." Without saying a word, Mrs. Chen took out a piece of broken silver from her purse, and co-authored it to take care of the business.
Su Xiujin hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Madam, you buy one and try it, if you think it's delicious, the pancakes made by my grandson are excellent, and the portion is enough, one is enough." β
Mrs. Chen was not reluctant, took out a few pennies from her purse, and asked the servant to buy one.
The business in front of the Jin Da Niu shop is not very good, to be precise, the business of the entire West Street is not very good, the business travel has not yet entered the city, and the people who come and go are the people of the town, most of them just look at this new faΓ§ade, take a look, and there are very few people who buy.
finally sold a copy, Jin Daniu hurriedly asked Xiao San'er to serve her a bowl of tea, and made a hot one carefully wrapped in oiled paper for others. Cui'er took the oiled paper bag and trotted to Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen took a look at the oil paper bag, and sure enough, the amount was very sufficient, and when she opened the oil paper bag, she saw that the orange-yellow pancakes were wrapped in the vegetable leaves, and because they were added with eggs, the pancakes were particularly fragrant. Mrs. Chen looked at her index finger, she tasted it, the eggs were delicate, the taste was not salty or light, and the vegetables were very sweet, and asked the price, only five cents a piece, and it was enough for her to eat alone.
"Not bad." Mrs. Chen exclaimed, "If your family has such a craft, you won't have to worry." β
Mrs. Chen asked someone to buy a few copies, so she simply took them home, added a pancake to dinner, and let her son try them.
Su Xiujin returned to the village, the fourth aunt, Su Niangzi had already made twenty quilts and ten blankets, and Su Niangzi helped call an ox cart in the village, ready to send it to the town tomorrow. Su Xiujin is so good that she has to go out again, so she made an appointment with Su Niangzi and went to town together tomorrow.
The next day, after breakfast and the car, the two of them headed for the town. The ox cart stopped in front of the shop, and Jin Da Niu was stunned for a moment, and watched Su Xiujin jump down from the car, her face full of surprise: "Jin Niang, why are you here." β
Su Xiujin patted the quilt behind him and said, "I'll send something, how is the business in the shop?" β
Jin Da Niu hadn't seen Su Xiujin for two days, and he thought very much, his eyes were glued to Su Xiujin's body and he was reluctant to move away, he scratched the back of his head and said: "It only opened yesterday, and it sold several in the afternoon, which can be regarded as a good sign." β
Su Xiujin looked at the clothes on his body and the one he went out, frowning slightly: "Don't just care about the shop, the clothes on your body are also changed." β
Jin Da Niu nodded hurriedly, it was really different to have a little daughter-in-law in his heart, this was the first time that anyone cared about whether his clothes had changed, Jin Da Niu's heart was as sweet as drinking honey.
The quilt was stacked in the room one by one, Su Xiujin took a pen and ink and wrote a sign on the side, the third son saw Su Xiujin writing with his left hand, and he followed the gesture and said: "The lady of the owner is so powerful, why can't I use my left hand?" β
Su Xiujin smiled slightly, her personal habits are different, she has always used her right hand to eat and do things, but this has been used to writing with her left hand since she was a child, for this, Liang Guoxiang didn't know how many times she had taught her, fortunately, her left-handed writing is no different from ordinary people, this practice of calligraphy, Danqing ink and wash are also the same, so I gave up.
