Seeing this, Xu Tao also slowly followed, and heard the young couple in front of him discussing while walking.

The woman said, "Why don't we sell it to the guy who set up the stall?" The price of this big store is not as good as that of the stall! ”

The man said, "Let's ask again, maybe someone is willing to pay two thousand!" ”

The woman said: "I've asked a lot of families, and the most is a thousand, I think it's this price, and the stalls just now also said that it was Xiuyu, and the boss of this store also said so, it should be true." ”

The man hesitated a little when he heard this, thought for a while and said, "Let's ask the two more, if there is no bid higher than 1,000, sell it to the stall setup!" ”

Xu Tao couldn't help but smile when he heard this, although these two young people didn't know the goods, they were not without scheming, they knew the truth of shopping around, and they deliberately doubled the price of others just now, listening to their words, it was obvious that the highest price now was only one thousand, and the young man just said that someone paid two thousand to buy his bottle.

Seeing Xu Tao come out, Li Jian and the others naturally followed, but they obviously didn't have Xu Tao's good ear, so it was impossible to hear the whispered conversation between the two young people. Seeing Xu Tao smiling, Li Jian asked, "Xu Tao, what are you laughing at?" ”

Xu Tao pointed to the young couple in front of him and said, "Their bottle, you go and buy it, two thousand yuan is definitely not a loss!" ”

"Ah, really?"

"Of course really, why am I lying to you?" Xu Tao said angrily: "If you lose money, it's mine!" ”

"Okay, I'll go!" When Li Jian heard this, he immediately became excited, and quickened his pace to catch up.

Xu Tao didn't chase after him, anyway, he could be sure that the two thousand yuan in the hands of the young man must have been missed, even if the price was high, it would not be a loss. Anyway, the highest bid now is only 1,000 or 2,000 yuan, and they should sell it.

Jiang Lili saw that Li Jian suddenly ran away, and asked Xu Tao a little strangely, "What did you tell him?" ”

Xu Tao said: "I told him that there was a chance to pick up the leak!" ”

Song Xiaoyun said: "What they have in their hands should be a snuff bottle, as for the material, I didn't see much of it just now, but it doesn't look like a good jade material, if it is really Xiuyu's as the boss said, the price of a thousand yuan is not low." ”

Xu Tao shook his head and said, "That's not Xiuyu, it's not even jade at all!" ”

"It's not jade, what is it?" Jiang Lili was puzzled: "If it's not jade, wouldn't ordinary stones be even less valuable?" ”

Xu Tao smiled: "That's not a stone, that's beeswax!" ”

"Beeswax? Isn't that a medicinal herb? Jiang Lili said: "I remember that there is a book on it, saying that the surname is Gan, lukewarm, and non-toxic." The main diarrhea pus and blood, replenish the middle, continue to cut off the gold sores, and invigorate the qi ......"

Xu Tao interrupted Jiang Lili and said: "You remember it very familiarly, but the beeswax you said is not the same thing as this one, the beeswax you said is the wax secreted by bees, and this beeswax is a kind of amber!" ”

Song Xiaoyun said: "I know this, among amber, the transparent is called amber, and the opaque is called honey." is a gemstone that is expensive. ”

As he was talking, Li Jian had already returned, shook the bottle in his hand a little proudly, and said to Xu Tao: "I bought it back and gave them one thousand eight!" ”

It turned out that Xu Tao told him that 2,000 yuan was not a loss, and Li Jian cut another 200 yuan, no wonder he was so proud, but if Xu Tao told him that in fact, the highest price for others was only 1,000, Li Jian might not be complacent.

"Tell me, what the hell is this? How much is it worth? Li Jian bought the things back and urged again.

Jiang Lili heard Xu Tao and them just now, so she rushed to tell Li Jian: "This is a snuff bottle, made of beeswax." ”

"Beeswax?" Li Jian was also a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Is this in honey?" ”

"It's not!" Jiang Lili once again learned and sold it, telling Li Jian that this kind of beeswax is actually amber, a kind of gemstone.

Li Jian listened and said, "It turned out to be a gem, so how much can this thing be worth?" I won't lose money if I buy it for 1,008, right? ”

"Of course not!" Song Xiaoyun said: "Although I can't estimate the exact price of your bottle, but now the price of beeswax is calculated by grams, and your beeswax snuff bottle has been looking at the pulp for some years, at least it is also something in the early years of the Republic of China. ”

Li Jian suddenly became happy when he heard this, and looked at the snuffbox in his hand and smiled a little silly.

Jiang Lili said a little angrily when she saw him like that: "Okay, don't be stupid, don't you just pick up a leak, as for looking like a pig brother?" ”

"Haha, aren't I happy? I also picked up a leak! Li Jian said: "When I go back, I can show off in front of my Lao Tzu!" ”

Jiang Lili hit Li Jian again: "Cut, what did you pick up the leak, obviously it was the opportunity given to you by Xu Tao, right?" ”

"So what?" Li Jian didn't care: "Who let us have good brothers?" ”

Li Jian said and carefully put away the snuff bottle, and said with a smile: "You just said beeswax, I thought it was a medicinal herb again!" ”

Xu Tao said: "It is indeed a medicinal material!" Although this beeswax is not the kind of beeswax you just mentioned, amber can also be used in medicine to treat respiratory diseases, bronchitis, and asthma. ”

Li Jian was stunned for a moment and said, "Xu Tao, you came to the antique market to pick up leaks, so you always choose medicinal materials?" ”

Xu Tao said with a smile: "Aren't we studying medicine, can we still recognize the mistake of medicinal materials?" ”

Song Xiaoyun said: "It's not early, let's go, I'm afraid that grandpa will be in a hurry at home." ”

Xu Tao originally wanted to see if there was any suitable gift for Song Xiaoyun and his grandfather, but after hearing her say this, he didn't look for it anymore, anyway, there was the tortoiseshell folding fan, which should be reasonable.

So everyone walked out of the market together, and when they walked to Pingjiang Building, they found that there were more stalls here, obviously they came later, but most of them were selling handicrafts, and there were a lot of girls' accessories and other gadgets.

Girls are always easy to be attracted by these colorful jewelry, and Song Xiaoyun and Jiang Lili are no exception, they also stopped to choose and bought a few jewelry each.

Jiang Lili bought a hairpin, which looked very similar to the tortoiseshell that Xu Tao bought just now, but she was indeed plastic, but the stall owner didn't sell it as a tortoiseshell, but it was only a dozen yuan.

Song Xiaoyun picked out a string of crystal bracelets for herself, put them on her hand and asked Xu Tao if he looked good.

"It's good-looking, it's good on your hand!" Now Xu Daxian also knows that girls like to listen to good words, and they don't mind coaxing her. But this is not nonsense, like Song Xiaoyun, who is naturally beautiful, he will not look ugly with any jewelry.

Song Xiaoyun was really happy when she heard it, but the two girls were obviously unsatisfied, and ran to the stall on the side to pick them up.

Li Jian picked up the leak today, and he was happy, and he also squeezed over to help Jiang Lili's staff, saying that he wanted to send her a few jewelry.

Xu Tao stood there, his eyes swept over a few stalls at the intersection, and suddenly he made a "huh" and walked towards a stall.

The stall sells some statues and other things, many of which are Buddha statues, including Guanyin, Miller, God of Wealth, and statues of the second master, which are basically gods and Buddhas and Buddha statues that are often worshiped by the people. The materials are ceramic and wood-carved.

However, Xu Tao is interested in one of the pottery statues, the statue is very strange, I can't see which way the sculpture is a fairy, it looks like a statue of an old man in the countryside, with a small base, the workmanship is also relatively rough, I don't know who will make this thing.

When the stall owner saw Xu Tao coming, he said, "Young man, please ask a bodhisattva to go back!" I, the Bodhisattva, have all been invited back from people's homes, and someone has once offered incense, and it will definitely work! ”

"And that kind of statement?" A girl on the side suddenly interjected: "Since it is a bodhisattva enshrined in someone else's house, how did it get into your hands?" ”

The stall owner said, "Am I still lying to you, these are all things that I have collected, and they are old, not those that are new." ”

The girl said, "Since it works, why don't they continue to worship, how can they sell it to you?" ”

The stall owner was obviously a little unhappy when he heard this, and said, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, the Bodhisattva can't say that he bought it, but say please!" You can't be disrespectful to a bodhisattva. ”

Xu Tao pointed to the pottery statue and said, "I can't see which way this is an immortal, I should be able to say that I bought it, right?" ”

The stall owner was also a little speechless when he saw Xu Tao pointing to the statue. As he said, the Buddha statues in his stall are all old things that he collected, but most of them were collected as scrap. The sculpture Xu Tao was talking about was bought at a recycling station, and the stall owner didn't know what it was. Because it was bought together with several statues, this is considered an add-on, and it is also placed on the stall, and it will be a big deal to give it to those who "invite" the Buddha statue to go home.

Seeing Xu Tao pointing out the statue, the boss had to say: "That is brought by the way, if you invite a Buddha statue back, that will be considered a gift to you!" ”

Xu Tao asked, "How much does it cost to ask for a Buddha statue from you?" ”

Before the stall owner could answer, the girl just now rushed to say: "This Buddha statue is obviously in his hands, and the people who worship the Buddha statue are in the middle of the road, otherwise how could they not be worshipped." In this case, how can this Buddha statue be considered a miracle? ”

When the stall owner heard this, he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, don't come to make trouble, how can you be disrespectful to the Bodhisattva?" What a sin! ”

The girl ignored the stall owner, but turned her head to Xu Tao and said, "Mr. Xu, if you really want to invite the Buddha statue, you can't be greedy for a cheap invitation here!" ”

Xu Tao glanced at the girl with some surprise: "You know me?" ”

The girl smiled: "You are a noble person who forgets things, last time in the hot spring resort, you saved us, did you forget?" ”

As soon as the girl said this, Xu Tao remembered that this girl was a friend of Zheng Xueying's secretary Zhou Lan, and that time they were given aphrodisiacs, and Xu Tao gave them needles to solve them.

Xu Tao recognized the girl and knew that she was deliberately reminding him, so he smiled at him, but said, "It's okay! ”

As he spoke, Xu Tao asked the stall owner again: "I don't want to invite any Bodhisattva, just buy your statue, you can make a price!" ”
