In the afternoon, my parents went to work, Wang Dong, who watched TV, also went out, or Gudu Street, it was more than ten o'clock in the morning to sell the pocket watch, Wang Dong didn't go to the alley where the stall was set up, and there was nothing to do at home in the afternoon anyway, I plan to try my luck, maybe I can pick up a leak, even if it is a small object like a pocket watch.

When he came to Gudu Street, Wang Dong went straight to the alley where the stall was set up, it was still the shop he saw last time, how to say that the boss let him pick up 6,000 yuan, no matter how he said it, he had to take care of the boss's business.

The stall owner who was playing with his mobile phone saw someone patronizing, looked up and saw that it was Wang Dong, and said with a smile: "Young man, come to take care of my business again today!" "Called Wang Dong, the young man, in fact, the stall owner is not big, and he is in his early thirties and forties.

"Boss, what new goods have you entered? It's all the same. Wang Dong swept the goods on the stall and asked politely.

"New? Haha, there are two pieces, but a friend put me to sell them, and there is no place to put them in the stall, so I put them in the package and didn't take them out, so I'll take them out for you to see. The stall owner said happily, turned around and took out two pieces of porcelain from the package, and handed them to Wang Dong, "These two things are not simple for my friend, they are rare old objects, but you have to be careful, if you bump into me, it will be difficult to explain to my friend." ”

"Don't worry, boss, I'll be careful." Wang Dong took two pieces of porcelain, put one down, and carefully looked at the vase in his hand. In addition to exercising in the past two nights, Wang Dong is also reading a book of "How to Identify Antiques", and has taught himself some small knowledge, such as the characteristics of the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty, which is generally the full paragraph, and the early is the four-character seal style, and the late addition of the emperor's number 'Ming Xuande year', and the word 'De' has no horizontal in the middle, and 'four' and 'heart' are close together.

"Young man, I heard my friend say that it was an official kiln product from the Tang Xuanzong era, which is worth a fortune, how about it? Do you like it? The stall owner said with a smile on his face.

Hearing the stall owner's words, Wang Dong was stunned, turned the vase upside down and looked at it, there was really a Tianbao year system below, Tianbao year was the later year of Tang Xuanzong, but Wang Dong couldn't help but sneer, handed the porcelain back to the stall owner, and said: "Boss, put away your priceless Tang vase, but don't bump into it, otherwise it will be worthless." ”

"This" The stall owner was stunned for a moment, looking at Wang Dong in a daze, not knowing what Wang Dong meant by this, he was stunned for a long time before continuing to ask: "Young man, do you want this vase of Tianbao Year in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Haha." Wang Dong really cried and laughed, the stall owner seems to know less about antiques than himself, according to the book "How to Appreciate Treasure Antiques" said that the official kiln porcelain began to appear in the Ming Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was thousands of years earlier than the Ming Dynasty.

Although he knew that the vase was new, Wang Dong didn't say it plainly, but just smiled at the boss honestly, and he would know the truth of leaving three points in everything. The stall owner saw that Wang Dong didn't speak, just a strong laugh, and he didn't know what Wang Dong meant, he was confused, he treated the vase in his hand as a treasure, and carefully put it in the income package, making Wang Dong cry and laugh, I really don't know how the stall owner got into this business?

Wang Dong smiled and picked up another piece of porcelain, it was a small bowl, green and green, a little blue and white, but the bowl was turned upside down, and the bottom of the bowl also said Tianbao year, Wang Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly again, and returned the things to the stall owner, the stall owner still put the baby back into the package with a careful look, and when Wang Dong was about to leave, the stall owner also looked sorry for him, and said: "Young man, it's really not a joke with you to be a brother, these two pieces of porcelain are really priceless, it's a pity." ”

Wang Dong couldn't cry or laugh, he really didn't know what to say. However, just as Wang Dong was about to turn around, the stall owner took out another orange thing from the package, which immediately attracted Wang Dong's attention, and he was about to leave, he squatted down again, and asked curiously: "Boss, what is your orange thing?" ”

"What else can it be, a piece of scrap iron, used to fill the remaining space in the package, so that the porcelain inside does not move, otherwise on the way here, I really don't know how many to break, these are all treasures." The stall owner said with a worried face.

"Fill with a block of iron? Doesn't porcelain touch iron? Wang Dong asked in surprise.

"Of course, it's not all this piece of iron, and you have to use a sponge in the middle, separated by foam, which was originally fixed with bricks, but the bricks are too light, and they leave their places when they bump on the road, and they break several pieces of porcelain, and call the one I feel distressed about a break, and then I found such a strange-shaped piece of iron, and it was really said that the porcelain was never broken." The stall owner said proudly.

"Boss, where did you get this strange piece of iron?" Wang Dong asked curiously, saying that it was a strange-shaped piece of iron, but it was actually not very strange, with a boxy base with a cylinder placed horizontally, and a cubic box-like thing next to it.

"This is a long story, and it is simply said to be 'shoveling the ground'." The stall owner thought about it and generalized.

"Shoveling the ground? What is that? Wang Dong was surprised and asked puzzled.

"Young man, I know that you have to ask this, 'shoveling the land' is a professional term in our industry, simply put, it is to go to the countryside to collect things, if you receive old objects, this old object is called 'shoveling the land'." The stall owner is like a veteran teaching a rookie who has just entered the industry.

Wang Dong was amused by the senior stall owner, and asked after a while: "Boss, do you sell the iron of 'shoveling the land'?" ”

"What?" The stall owner thought that his ears had heard it wrong, and he didn't dare to believe it until Wang Dongyou said it again, but he asked very puzzled: "Young man, what are you buying iron for?" He was stunned and asked vigilantly, "Isn't this a treasure?" ”

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, a little crying and laughing, this stall owner's head is really flexible enough, not to mention that this iron piece may really be a treasure. However, for the stall owner, it is just a piece of scrap metal, which has no effect. Wang Dong thought for a while, "Boss, this iron lump seems to be a baby?" ”

"Well, not really." The stall owner was stunned, shook his head and said, but then he became vigilant and asked, "Young man, why do you want to buy this piece of iron?" ”

"This" Wang Dong was really asked, but fortunately, he was clever enough and quick enough to react, and he had an explanation as soon as his eyes rolled, "Boss, my uncle's family collects waste products, seeing that this iron piece is heavy enough, the texture should be good, and it should be able to sell for a good price." ”

"Oh?" The stall owner was stunned, he didn't expect it to be this reason, he didn't think about selling this piece of iron lump as scrap earlier, but because of the price and the lack of suitable fixed porcelain, he never sold it, and now Wang Dong mentioned that he wanted to collect this piece of scrap iron, and couldn't help asking: "Young man, how to collect it?" This is a good iron that is rare to see in a thousand years. ”

Wang Dong was a little embarrassed, no matter what went to the stall owner's mouth, it became a treasure, just now he didn't want to see this piece of iron, and in a blink of an eye, it became a good iron that is rare to see in a thousand years, and he sighed in his heart, but he said politely: "The price is easy to say, now the market price is nine cents a catty, how about I give the boss a piece of two?" ”

"One piece two?" The stall owner's eyes slipped, as if he was settling accounts, as if he was quite satisfied, but he still deliberately made an expression of reluctance to sell, and after a long struggle, he said: "Five a piece, if it is a piece of five pounds, I will sell it." ”

"A piece of five?" Wang Dong chattered twice, and also pretended to think, in fact, in his heart, whether it was two yuan or five yuan, or even two yuan a catty, it was the same, and he deliberately delayed the time to give the stall owner the illusion of selling value, so as not to regret it later.

"How? A piece of five elements no, if it doesn't work, I'll put it away? The stall owner urged.

"Okay, a piece of five is a piece of five, it's really a waste of work." Wang Dong gritted his teeth and said, looking like he had suffered a big loss, in fact, he was happy in his heart, if this thing was intact and there were things in it, he would make money. Even if there is nothing, it will be sold as scrap iron when the time comes, and it will not lose a few dollars.

"Little brother is refreshing enough, this piece of iron is about twenty kilograms, I weighed it when I bought it." The stall owner said, Wang Dong took the piece of iron, only felt a sinking in his hand, but there was absolutely no twenty kilograms, but he did not continue to bargain with the stall owner, paid sixty yuan according to the twenty kilograms, and left in a hurry, eager to open it.

The stall owner looked at the sixty yuan in his hand, and smiled in his heart, plus the ninety yuan he had earned, he could earn one hundred and fifteen today. In the modern era, when it takes hundreds of dollars to eat a meal, one hundred and five is obviously insignificant, but it is already very good for the owner of the stall. If you can earn 15 a day, it will be 4,500 a month, which is not worse than the white-collar workers of those office workers!

Holding the orange iron block, Wang Dong hurriedly left Gudu Street, for fear that the stall owner would regret chasing after him, how did he know that the stall owner was intoxicated with an income of one hundred and fifty this time. It wasn't until he got on the bus that Wang Dong's heart relaxed.

When he got home, he climbed up to the fourth floor with an iron block in one breath, Wang Dong was tired and panting, and when he opened the door, his sister Xiaowei saw him carrying an iron block back, and asked in surprise: "Brother, what is this?" Like scrap metal? Why move back? ”

"It's not scrap metal, it's probably a treasure." Wang Dong smiled mysteriously, and then carried the iron back to his room, Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, isn't it just a piece of scrap iron, what kind of baby?

"Brother, how did you think about setting up a stall? Do we sell boxed lunches, or do we sell stir-fried vegetables? Wang Xiaowei asked Wang Dong, who was back in the room.

"I'll think about this again." Wang Dong is now all focused on the iron, and after perfunctory his sister Xiaowei, he closed the door and prepared to 'operate' on the iron.
