Chapter 194: The Mirror (Three More Flowers)
"The little one is six or seven years old, isn't he?" Zhang Taiping asked with a smile.
With his grandfather by his side, the little boy was not very afraid of Zhang Taiping, and looked at him with clear eyes.
The old man didn't understand what Zhang Taiping wanted to say, and nodded.
"It's time to go to school." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.
The old man's brows furrowed slightly, this has always been a pimple in his heart, because he has no fixed residence, he does not even have a hukou with his grandchildren, and of course he can't go to school without a hukou.
Zhang Qianlong understood what Zhang Taiping meant at this time, and stepped forward and said: "Yes, old man, this young man is also at the age when he should go to school, you have a stable job and residence, and the children can go to school in peace." ”
The old man didn't refuse again, but frowned deeper and deeper, and finally said, "Let me think about it and give you an answer." ”
Zhang Qianlong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Zhang Taiping pulled him and shook his head. Zhang Qianlong understood, which meant that it was too much, because he was too anxious, and there was too little carving master in the store.
"Then think about it, this is my phone number, if you want to get through, you can give me a call." As he spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the old man. The old man did not refuse, took the business card and solemnly put it in his arms.
After the four of them left, the old man touched the little boy's head and asked, "Xiaofeng, do you want to go to school?" ”
The little boy lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Yes! ”
Hearing his grandson's whispered answer, the old man seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Okay, then let's go to school." Then he began to clean up the things on the ground.
"Grandpa, aren't you selling it today?" The little boy watched his grandfather's movements with some confusion.
"If you don't sell it, you won't buy it in the future, grandpa will send you to school." The little boy didn't quite understand the meaning of the old man's words, but he still helped the old man clean up his things.
said that after Zhang Taiping and the four of them walked over, they put this matter aside for the time being, and continued to appreciate and watch all kinds of things placed on both sides of the road.
After a while, Kong Fei, who had never shown interest in anything along the way, became interested in the jade Maitreya Buddha on a stall. Men wear Guanyin and women bring Buddha, this is definitely not bought to wear themselves, but given to the female surname.
"What's the matter, Xiaofei brought a gift to his girlfriend?" Yang Wanli asked teasingly.
Kong Fei said with a wry smile: "What kind of girlfriend is that, it's my sister, it's just the little witch in the family, every time you have to ask me to bring her a gift back, if you forget it that time, I can toss you for several weeks." ”
The stall owner is also an old man, the people who sell things here are generally old people, if young people sell antiques, first of all, they give people a feeling of untrustworthiness in terms of age, only the steady face of the old man can match these vicissitudes of life, give people a reliable feeling. The main price of the stall is three hundred, Kong Fei can't pay attention to it, and let Zhang Taiping and the three of them help take a look. Zhang Qianlong nodded and said, "It's quite kind." "This is not for selling antiques, but all kinds of ordinary jade carvings and pendants, and the price is not exaggerated, at least this piece of jade is real, and it can be worth dozens of dollars."
Yang Wanli himself is also a rookie, so he will not express his opinion, and Zhang Taiping also nodded. Kong Fei was relieved to pay for this thing and bought it as a gift for his sister on this trip.
After walking for a while, Xiaoxi was restless, flew out from Zhang Taiping's shoulder, circled and flew over everyone's heads, and then ran to the stall where people were selling. Zhang Taiping was nearby, so he didn't discipline him more, as long as he didn't make any trouble.
Zhang Taiping was squatting in front of a stall selling all kinds of bronzes, looking at the bronze tripods with inscriptions cast on the ground. The boss was diligently pointing to the rust on the bronze tripod and telling Zhang Taiping the story of discovering this tripod, and how real this bronze tripod was. Zhang Taiping just listened, if he believed it, it would be called hell! Rust, rust can also be made. If you are a real bronze tripod boss, can you really be stupid enough to sell for tens of thousands?
At this moment, I happened to hear a nice voice behind me: "Whose bird is this?" So cute. ”
Zhang Taiping took the opportunity to ask the bronze stall owner who was still chattering and came to the source of the sound. But it was two girls who were setting up a stall selling a bunch of things. Xiaoxi, a stinky and beautiful guy, was playing in front of a quaint-looking mirror, causing one of the girls to lie down in front of him and scream with joy.
Zhang Taiping was stunned after seeing this scene, it was not Xiaoxi's trickery that made him stunned, but the mirror in front of Xiaoxi made him feel wonderful. Walking forward, I felt a sense of vicissitudes coming to my face, this is a feeling that I have never felt after turning for so long, Zhang Taiping immediately judged that this thing is a real antiquity, whether it is worth it or not, at least it has a deep historical value.
"Miss, where did this mirror come from?" Zhang Taiping asked the stall owner.
"You're the young lady." The girl who was lying in front of Xiaoxi and watched Xiaoxi stood up and wrinkled her nose, and Zhang Taiping replied idly, and the two little freckles on her nose seemed to come to life with her nose wrinkle, adding a little cuteness. but disliked Zhang Taiping and called them misses.
Zhang Taiping touched his nose in embarrassment, and the three people next to him also laughed.
Compared with the spicy sister, the sister was much shy, and said with a slight red face: "We salvaged these things from the river, and I heard that they could be sold for money, so I took them here to try my luck." ”
Zhang Taiping nodded and looked at other things, most of them were rusty, even antiquities were worthless, only the mirror in front of Xiaoxi was relatively complete.
"And how do you sell this mirror?" This mirror is very special to him at first time, since he got the space, Zhang Taiping attaches great importance to his feelings, even if it is really worthless, he has to buy it.
"Does this gentleman just want that mirror? Don't want anything else? My sister asked Zhang Taiping this, and I felt a little embarrassed after asking. It's just that other things sell too badly.
"That's it." Zhang Taiping glanced around the other things, but none of them could be seen.
"Then three no, two thousand." My sister's girl first supported three fingers, and finally felt that she wanted a little too much, so she bent down again and quoted a price of 2,000. The two sisters had never done any of these things, and when they were playing in the river, they caught such a bunch of things, and they also learned from others to sell them here, and they didn't really make much money, just to play a novelty.
"Okay, two thousand is two thousand." When Zhang Taiping was about to pay for the money, another voice came from behind him.
"I'll sell it to me for three thousand!"
Everyone looked behind them, and saw a man in his forties walking over, who also saw the extraordinaryness of this mirror and wanted to buy it at a high price.
"You two bid, whoever pays the most money will be whoever's own." No matter how my sister looks at it, she feels that Zhang Taiping is a little unpleasant, and she dares to call herself Miss, hum, give you some trouble.
Zhang Taiping frowned, and before he could speak, his sister, who had always been shy and shy, spoke: "Sister, how can you be like this, I have already sold it to this gentleman." As he spoke, he took the two thousand yuan in Zhang Taiping's hand, picked up the mirror from the ground and put it into Zhang Taiping's hand. It seems that they are not the ones who are short of money.
Xiao Xi saw that the mirror was gone, and also jumped on Zhang Taiping's shoulder.
The man next to him saw that the mirror had already reached Zhang Taiping's hand, so he stepped forward and said, "This brother borrowed a step to speak." ”
"If you have anything to say, say it right here." Zhang Taiping ignored it.
"That's right, just now my brother bought this mirror for 2,000 yuan, and now I have 3,000 yuan, and my brother has made a net profit of 1,000 yuan when he gets it. What do you think? ”
Zhang Taiping shook his head and said, "I don't have any intention of making a move for the time being, and you don't have to bother with me." ”
"How about five thousand? Brother think again. The man still didn't give up, and added another two thousand yuan.
Zhang Taiping turned around and asked jokingly: "You are so anxious to buy this mirror, it is difficult to know that this mirror is very valuable?" ”
The man choked, a little annoyed and a little sarcastic: "It's not that this mirror is really worth much, but that it has some use for me." ”
Zhang Taiping didn't pay any attention to it, put away his things and left.
The middle-aged man followed a few steps and stayed, looking at their disappearing figures and thinking, at this time, the middle-aged man who took Zhang Taiping and the four of them to this antique street came to the man and said: "Hehe, I know where these people are, I don't know if Brother Hong is interested?" ”
"Oh? You know? Let's go have a drink or two. ”
"Okay, let's go and have a couple of drinks."
Don't say what the two middle-aged people used to drink, but said that when Zhang Taiping returned home, he passed by the grandfather and grandson who sold wood carvings, but unfortunately there were already people there, and the old man didn't leave any contact information, and he didn't know how to contact him this time. Zhang Qianlong was a little disappointed, if he could hire the old man back this time, it would not be in vain even if he didn't have any good gains from going to Inner Mongolia this time.
Shaking his head, Zhang Qianlong threw these thoughts out of his head, which had no effect. I can only wait for the old man to call, I am lucky, but I am lost.
In the evening, Zhang Taiping and the four returned to the hotel, and the four of them were the first to return. The rest of the people don't know where they are.
ps: The third shift, there is another shift in the evening, ask for a flower! Smash flowers in the face of the Buddha!
