Chapter 3 [Ming and Qing Dynasty Jade Plaques Buried in the Soil]

A new day begins.

"Xiao Jing! Xiaojing! "It's Mommy's voice.

When I came back to my senses, I found that I was biting half a tea egg in my mouth, holding a soy milk porcelain bowl in my left hand and hanging in the air, and the tip of the chopsticks in my right hand was sticking straight into the pickle plate, motionless. I blinked dumbly and saw my mother, sitting on a round stool across from me, staring at me with a "gnashing of teeth" look.

I laughed dryly and buried my head in my breakfast.

"You've been in this position for a minute, I'm really convinced of you, you can still eat and get distracted!" At this time,Lao Changhong on the TV cabinet29Inch color TV broadcast a treasure appreciation program with Yan Wanru as a guest,After my mother counted me,I glared at my father watching TV on the sofa,Slapped the bamboo chopsticks on the round table:"Yan Wanru! Yan Wanru! You know Yan Wanru! His eyes are as wide as a cow! You're almost on the screen, right? ”

Dad pouted, unhurriedly picked up the cigarette pouch and pot, and took two sips.

My mother snorted and looked at me and my father respectively: "Eight poles can't beat a fart!" Xiao Jing's stunned appearance is all with you! Do you see whose children are not alive? Look at your son again! ”

Dad knocked the cigarette pouch in the crystal ashtray, "The rabbit is alive!" If you have the ability, you can give birth to one! ”

"Gu Dahai! The old lady fought with you! ”

I was accustomed to this kind of scene, after eating by myself, I simply cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, then got up and pushed the door out of the north room, and turned into a small house of less than eight square meters next to my parents' room in the courtyard.

As I passed by the toon tree in the center of the courtyard with its dense branches and leaves, my mother opened the door and stopped me from behind.

"I've inquired with my old classmates, are you going to work in the antique city?"

I rubbed my nose apologetically: "I suddenly don't want to go." ”

My mother looked at me: "Love to go, anyway, your dad also means this, I'm afraid that you will clumsily touch other people's things, well, we will go to work later, you can make do with hot leftovers at noon, yesterday's fish-flavored shredded meat is still half a plate." ”

I got on the subway at Qianmen Station and headed towards the school.

Originally, if history hadn't changed, I would have gone to the antique city today for an interview and officially worked tomorrow. I remember very clearly, on the first day of my part-time job, I called my dormitory roommate Sun Xiaolei and asked if I needed to send him on the train, he was not a local, and he didn't have time to go home after buying a ticket.

Calculate it, it's today.

But at that time, he was vague, and I didn't know exactly where the construction site was or what kind of jade it was.

However, I have the impression that there seems to be only one place near the school that is under construction, and there should be no doubt that it is there.

After getting off the subway and taking the bus to the Xiaoying Campus of Yenching Information Science and Technology University, I walked all the way north, walking about two kilometers, the banner of "Fengrun Phase II Project" was faintly visible, and after a year, the building was still not completed, because some disputes had stopped work for a long time. On the west side of the intersection, the sound of tinkling construction is deafening, and it seems that the foundation is being dug to build a building. After the traffic light, I covered my nose to avoid the dust raised by the truck, and when I saw that there were no security guards to stop me, I went down the dirt slope into the construction site.

Looking left and right, there are nearly 100 people at the huge construction site, just such a place, can you receive jade?

I couldn't help but sigh and regret that I didn't ask specifically.

"Ugh!"

A sixty-year-old man leaped into my sight.

The old man seemed to have been beaten by an iron pipe and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, I immediately greeted the old man and helped the old man up: "Grandpa, are you okay?" ”

The old man exhaled with palpitations: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"I'll help you out."

"Thank you, young man, alas, people are old, and their legs and feet are not good."

"The construction site is the most unsafe place, you have to be careful in the future, by the way, what are you doing here, if you buy a house, there should be a special sales office outside, right?"

"Hey, don't mention it, I'm not buying a house, just now when my daughter-in-law took the child to play here in the sand, I happened to see a few migrant workers digging out a piece of jade from the ground, my daughter-in-law took a photo with her mobile phone, I went back to see it, the stone is not bad, so I came to ask."

I was stunned," ...... You bought the stone? ”

"I paid a hundred, but a few of them didn't sell it, and I didn't know much about stones, so I didn't dare to increase the price." The old man was on crutches, and his chin pointed to a few people near a tower crane: "...... Just them. ”

After sending the old man away, I turned back again, and with my excitement, I walked to the three migrant workers who were squatting on the ground to rest, "I heard that you have dug up a jade?" Can you show me? ”

The three of them looked at me, and the nearest gray-clad worker reached out and pulled an object out of his pocket and put it in the palm of his hand.

I bent down to take a closer look, and the corners of my eyes couldn't help but jump slightly, "Please turn over." ”

This is a green and white jade card, to be precise, people in the industry usually call it "Ming and Qing cards". This card is about four centimeters high, about two centimeters wide, fine workmanship, jade oil and delicate, the front is hollow flowers and plants carving, the reverse side is a simple and natural character carving, the jade plate is also wearing a red rope close to broken in the small eyes, from the analysis of the old and new degree of the rope, the jade card should not be in the soil for a long time.

I've been working in the collecting circle for so long, and I know a little bit about it.

I pondered my words, looked up and asked, "A price, please?" ”

"What? Leave? ”

"Oh, just ask me how much you can give me."

Several people glanced at each other, and the gray-clothed worker, who still had a strong accent, said, "At least five hundred." ”

I smiled bitterly: "Can it be cheaper?" "My family's monthly living expenses have to be carefully calculated, so before I went out, I was embarrassed to ask my parents for money, and I had more than 100 on me, which was not enough at all.

"How many do you come up with?"

"I probably have ...... here" I'm not good at lying, I opened my wallet and took out all the money one by one in front of them: "There are 185 yuan, if you think it's okay, we'll make a deal, if not, I don't have any extra money." ”

"It's too little, don't sell it, don't sell it." They shook their heads resolutely.

I didn't want to give up this rare opportunity, so I hesitated for a moment and took off the mechanical watch worth about 200 yuan on my wrist, "Add this watch, okay?" ”

The watch was bought by my mother the year before last with the New Year's money given to me by my grandmother's family.

The three of them discussed it secretly, and finally took the money and the watch, and handed me the jade plate.
