Chapter Forty-Eight: Picking Up the Leak
The contract has been resolved smoothly, and it is only a matter of time before the payment is returned, so it will be a lot easier for me.
Lao Han is still working as a carpenter master on the construction site, telling a group of migrant workers meat jokes on weekdays, which makes them laugh in all directions. He gradually established a high prestige among the workers, and in many cases spoke more effectively than Zhang Tao.
With the episode of falling from the third floor, Lao Han talked to the workers after returning to the construction site, and invisibly educated the workers on safety ideology, so that the on-site discipline was even better than what I had done in special education.
Lao Han's sense of responsibility is getting stronger and stronger, and he will clean the site every time he finishes work, cut off water and electricity, and ensure that nothing goes wrong.
These big guys all saw it, I gave Lao Han a salary increase of 500 yuan in front of all the workers, the atmosphere was peaceful, and no one stood up to oppose it, thinking that this is also what Lao Han deserves.
He was like an ordinary little old man, peaceful, docile, and not too impressive. No one can see that Lao Han is carrying so many stories, and no one knows that he has strong skills, he is like a master hidden in the construction site, and he is at peace with what he encounters, and the invisible posture of the elephant makes people sigh to themselves.
When I don't call Lao Han, Lao Han rarely takes the initiative to contact me.
After lunch that day, I was lying on my desk for a morning break, and there was a knock on the door outside, so I got up and opened the office door and saw Lao Han standing outside.
"Old Han, you're finally here, how are you, what's new?"
I originally thought that Lao Han would tell me some problems in the project, after all, he is an absolutely skilled carpenter, and what he said is experience, and I will definitely consider adopting it when the time is right.
"Feng Gong, are you okay at noon? I'll take you to a good place! β
Lao Han didn't sit down, he stood next to me and handed over a Hongta Mountain, and his tone was extremely mysterious.
"What's such a mystery?"
"Antique market, I'll take you to open your eyes and pick up a leak by the way!"
As soon as I heard Lao Han's words, I immediately came to my senses, since the last time I ate hot pot when he said about tomb robbing, I have been particularly interested in things like tomb robbing and antiques.
"Then hurry up, I wish there was a master to give me advice!"
"No problem, the past will open your eyes!"
Lao Han and I went out of the construction site, got on the bus and went straight to the cultural relics market.
When I got out of the car, a young man with an egg-sized Hetian jade in his hand asked me if I was interested in Lao Han.
"How much?" Old Han asked.
"Five hundred, it's cheap!" The young man said with a Uighur accent.
"20 bucks!" Lao Han said.
"Deal!" The young man was a little excited.
"I said 20 bucks - I don't want it!" After Lao Han finished speaking, he turned around and left.
This scene is too joyful, and the Hetian jade that opened his mouth to ask for 500 was instantly reduced to 20, and was finally rejected by Lao Han, if it weren't for the sake of face, I would have laughed three times in the antique market.
"Old Han, 20 is not expensive!" I was puzzled.
"Deceitful, fakes are worthless!" Lao Han explained.
We slipped past the stalls on the edge of the heritage market, where all kinds of antiques were displayed. For a layman like me, I really can't tell which is a fake and which is valuable.
Old Han walked through the market with his hands behind his back, he just kept scanning the antiques, but he didn't stop to ask about the price.
I followed him and asked, "Old Han, isn't there one that I like?" β
"There's no fart, there's a lot of fakes, and the real thing is not worth much, let's go look for good things inside!"
I nodded and walked inside after Lao Han, and in a dilapidated faΓ§ade in the far corner of the market, a long-bearded old man was dozing off in a cotton jacket and biting a dry tobacco pot.
Old Han stopped suddenly when he walked here, and he squatted in front of a pot of broken copper and iron that had been poured out of nowhere.
"Discovery?" I asked softly.
"Bullshit, nothing, a bunch of shit!" Old Han shouted loudly, as if he was deliberately trying to wake up the dozing old man.
Sure enough, Lao Han was really awakened by Lao Han's shouting.
"Something you like?" The old man leaned over and asked.
"How do you sell this bronze mirror?" Old Han grabbed something that looked like a bronze mirror from the basin.
"Bronze mirror? This is an authentic general's heart guard! The old man was dissatisfied.
"Authentic? I think it's a fake made in the eighties of the last century, and you can tell by listening to the sound that there are cracks on it, and it's not worth a few bucks! β
Lao Han put the heart shield on his ear and flicked it lightly a few times, closing his eyes and listening to the gesture was so professional.
"Take it for five hundred yuan, don't say anything!" The old man waved his hand and said simply.
"Three hundred!" Lao Han bargained, this time he didn't say twenty yuan, it seems that this heart shield is not much worse.
"Four hundred!" The old man said again.
"Four hundred, four hundred, bring this gadget!"
I saw Lao Han say and grabbed a black stone from the basin, shaped like a leaf, and at first glance it looked like an ordinary stone tile.
"Medium, medium, take it!" The old man readily agreed.
Lao Han looked at me at this time, and he said, "Feng Gong, you can buy this bronze mirror, you can play in the mirror if you have nothing to do, I didn't bring any money today!" β
"Okay, you old Han, tell me, isn't it a nursery?" I jokingly took out four red heads from my wallet and handed them to the old man, thinking that I had really done a good job of revenge this time.
"How can it, I just like to watch others buy!" As he spoke, Old Han picked up the bronze mirror and handed me the small black stone.
Leaving the old man's stall, Lao Han didn't go any further, but pulled me out of the cultural relics market in a hurry.
It wasn't until he returned to the office that Lao Han said excitedly: "Feng Gong, I've picked up something good!" β
"What a good thing, a broken bronze mirror!" In the eyes of laypeople like me, mirrors are mirrors and have little to do with cultural relics.
"I'm not talking about the mirror, it's the green jade pen you are holding!"
After Lao Han said this, I remembered that I still had a stone in my pocket. I took the stone out of my pocket, and Han took it and gently wiped it with a towel.
Its color became more and more realistic, and the outer layer of lime and cement stains was removed, and the true shape of the green jade pen was revealed.
People who know a little about calligraphy are no strangers to the pen, "Examination of the Aftermath" will list more than 40 kinds of study utensils, the pen is ranked eighth, most of these objects are handed down from the Ming and Qing dynasties. At that time, most literati were fond of porcelain, and this kind of bluestone pen was not very eye-catching. However, with the change of dynasties, there are very few people who do not like bluestone now.
"Feng Gong, Lao Han's vision is very tricky, and he will definitely not lose his eyes!"
As he spoke, he put the clean pen in front of me, and lay on the table and observed it carefully for five or six minutes.
"Old Han, are you just calling it a leak?"
"Hehe, what Lao Han picked up is a leak. This gift will be given to Feng Gong, you have friends who like to collect cultural relics, you can give them away, which is a favor. Let me take this bronze mirror back, there is a shortage of mirrors on the construction site! β
I was a little confused, the heart goggles bought by the four hundred oceans were taken away by Lao Han, but the gifts were left to me, could I have been fooled by Lao Han?
