Chapter Twenty-Six: The Big Golden Toad
At eight o'clock in the morning, cars come and go on the street, pedestrians look hurried, the fast urban life is always like this, a minute of time, I can't wait to break it in half to use, a bowl of tofu brain, two fritters, after breakfast, Su Ren is carrying a little milk cat on his shoulder, holding a wooden box under his armpit, and looking around boredly.
From time to time, there are beautiful girls in cool clothes walking by, and Shen sighs that people's hearts are not ancient, and the etiquette is corrupt, saying that people are water-based poplars, and they are shameless, but a pair of thief eyes are always turning on the girls' thighs, and the eyeballs are eager to stick to them, and the pig brother is full of likeness.
"Squeak!"
A sleek red Ferrari sports car parked on the side of the road, the window slowly opened, revealing a white and handsome face, sword eyebrows and big eyes, eyes with a sharp eye, a high nose bridge, a slightly pointed chin, and a hint of evil smile on the corners of the mouth.
"Su Ren, it's mysterious to make a phone call, don't say anything, yo, you're still playing with cats? Where to buy it, it looks pretty good. ”
Su Ren didn't see anything outside, stepped forward and opened the car door and sat in, the faint jasmine-scented car perfume shocked his spirits, and pouted: "Where else can it be, pet store, I'm saying that I didn't want to look for you, I was looking for your father." ”
The car that had just started suddenly stopped, causing Su Ren to almost knock down the front windshield glass, leaving a few holes in his shoulders scratched by the little milk cat.
Sun Jufu blinked, and said a little angrily: "Looking for the old man, what call do you call me, just call him directly, do you know, this handsome guy is preparing to go on a blind date, just because of your phone call, you threw the girl at the gate of the zoo, and now you are still waiting pitifully." ”
Waving his hand to let Sun Jufu hurry up and drive, Su Ren rolled his eyes, cocked Erlang's legs and said: "Blind date, I don't know you yet, I must have made an appointment with the gun room and wanted to do something bad, didn't I say you, do this in the morning, aren't you afraid of insufficient kidney water in the future?" Delay the sexual well-being of old age. ”
Sun Jufu was annoyed and said angrily: "Get out! Lao Tzu is in good health, so I don't need you to shout. ”
The two were chatting and fartizing, the sports car turned left and right, and they came to Panjiayuan and stopped in front of a teahouse.
"Piao Xiang Zhai? Where to drink tea and taste treasures, what are you doing here! ”
Although Su Ren is not of high grade, just a stall owner, but in how to say that he is also in Panjiayuan to eat, the well-known meeting place near is very clear, Piaoxiangzhai belongs to the gathering place of donors, when these donors receive good objects, they will invite several buyers to come to Pinbao, if the person feels suitable, you can bid for money to buy the item.
Sun Jufu parked the car, walked in with his head, and said when he heard the words: "Someone asked the old man to come and see the three-legged golden toad." ”
Piaoxiangzhai decoration is very exquisite, the door is placed with a diameter of one meter brass teapot, long spout, round belly, vermilion doorpost hangs a black background gold welcome pair, the upper link is: the four seasons evergreen pine welcome, the lower link is: the eternal crane ride the immortal. The horizontal batch is: Yuanyuan tea.
As soon as you enter the door, the refreshing breath comes from the pavement, and all the people running in the hall are dressed in short clothes, with cloth shoes under their feet, white towels on their arms, trays for serving tea, and copper kettles with long mouths for adding water.
The octagonal partition is named after spring, summer, autumn and winter, plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum.
In the hall, a table is equipped with four stools, on which a chessboard is placed, with chess on the front and Go on the back, and the chess pieces are placed aside.
didn't have time to take a closer look, Su Ren was pulled by Sun Jufu to the autumn number single room, good guy, there were really a lot of people in it, there were more than a dozen of them, and they were watching carefully around the three-legged golden toad placed on the central tea table, talking to each other, talking in a whisper, and no one cared when the two young people entered the room, but someone looked at the kitten on Su Ren's shoulder and the wooden box in his arms.
Sun Million is not tall, nearly one meter seven, but his weight has reached more than two hundred and seventy pounds, his fat head and big ears look very festive, and he looks like a ball from a distance, as if he has no neck, and when he saw Su Ren's expression, he immediately smiled and said: "Yo, Su boy is here, why don't you keep your little stall today." ”
They are very familiar with each other, and they are not polite, Su Ren said directly: "Go out, I have something in my hand to look for you!" ”
In the four years of college, Su Ren and Zhang Yi have been eating at other people's homes, and they are very familiar with each other's tempers.
"Dad, you talk to him, I have something to go out."
Sun Jufu grabbed the teacup in his hand, drank it dry, said hello and turned around and left, looking quite free and easy.
"Stinky boy, there is no time to worry, you know how to play all day long! Play! Play! Laughing and scolding, Sun Million pulled up Su Ren's arm and whispered: "If you have something to say, it's just right, help your uncle have long eyes, and tell you first, Uncle Shi's thing is in the truth, the meaning is good, he is big, and the workmanship is not bad, but I don't know if it's true or not, you hurry up and give it to your uncle." ”
Su Ren hugged the wooden box in his arms, and was pushed in front of the three-legged golden toad in a daze, and took a look, heh, the size is indeed not small, and the same is true for his common hobbies with Sun Million, he likes big things, houses, cars, pets, etc.
The three-legged golden toad in front of him is one and a half feet in diameter, about a foot in height, bronze, the cyan patina in the gap is clearly visible, gently tapped with his fingers, the voice is dull, no echo, obviously made of real copper, Su Ren gasped, according to the volume of this golden toad, it will cost three hundred catties, it can indeed be called a big guy.
In terms of the size of the golden toad, this one on the table is very rare.
The pimple on the back of the golden toad is a copper coin style, three legs, the back is a laughing villain, holding a string of copper coins wrapped around the neck of the golden toad, and the copper coins at the feet of the golden toad, gold and silver ingots, and agate jade carving patterns are the same.
Three-legged golden toad, in ancient Han myths and legends, the Moon Palace has a three-legged toad, and the Moon Palace is also called the Toad Palace. The ancients believed that the golden toad was a mascot that could absorb wealth and ward off evil spirits. In Taoism, the three-legged toad is called "toad", and it is said that it can spit out money and is a prosperous thing.
The big golden toad in front of him has no copper coins in his mouth, and there are children on his back who use copper coins around his neck to control it, which is a kind of "bangs playing golden toad".
In ancient times, there were Liu Hai cultivators, and the golden toad was subdued to become an immortal, and later the Han folk spread the legend of "Liu Hai plays the golden toad, and catches money step by step".
As for why it is a child's image, it has to start with the folk, Liu Hai entered the department at the age of sixteen, and he was fifty years old to the phase, and he should be a white-haired old man after becoming a monk, and his appearance is clear and unkempt. But the common people thought that since they gave up the high-ranking officials to become monks, they would definitely be successful in cultivating, and rejuvenation had become a fantasy in everyone's minds at that time, so the lively and cute fat boy was freshly baked.
