Chapter 013: Changing Hands

"Forget it, since these are facts, I can only accept them."

After the pain in his fist disappeared completely, Zhou Mingluo gradually restrained his emotions again, and then remembered Aunt Xiu, after all, no matter whether the effect of the [King Kong Fu] was big or small, he was powerless to change it, and he couldn't accept it if he wanted to.

And since he discovered the changes in the Yellow Book, he has been tossing and turning until now it is noon, and it is indeed time for him to go to see Aunt Xiu.

Although the other party only has a fever, it is also very serious, it has reached the point of confusion, not only needs emergency treatment, but also needs someone to take care of it afterwards.

This may be a bit of a fuss, but he thinks it's worth it, he is really afraid that if no one takes care of him after he leaves, something will happen to Aunt Xiu, and it may cost money to put it in the hospital, but it is much better to have a nurse to take care of it.

"High fever is a minor problem after all, I hope she's better now, hey."

With a low sigh, Zhou Mingluo stepped outside, and then arrived at the Third Courtyard of the City in less than half an hour.

When Zhou Mingluo arrived at the door of ward 609 along the corridor, he looked in through the glass window on the door, and saw Aunt Xiu lying on the hospital bed at a glance.

Aunt Xiu is not very old, she is only in her early thirties this year, and she is quite beautiful, but the person lying on the hospital bed at the moment has a haggard and messy face, and at first glance, it looks like she is more than ten years old.

Thinking of Aunt Xiu, who was kind and gentle to herself like a big sister, but she was so embarrassed because of Fang Shutong's imprisonment, Zhou Mingluo's heart hurt terribly.

"No matter who you are, if you hurt Uncle Fang's family like this, even if it was in the past, I can only admit it for the sake of various realities, but from now on I must make you regret everything you have done!"

Clenched his fists heavily, and once again almost inserted his short nails into the tender flesh of his palms, Zhou Mingluo's eyes were full of coldness.

The next moment, he quickly collected his emotions and knocked lightly on the door before pushing the door in.

"Aunt Xiu, how are you feeling now?"

Entering the ward, Zhou Mingluo walked quickly to the bed, trying to squeeze out a bright smile, the closer he got to Aunt Xiu, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.

"Xiaoluo, it's really hard for you, I'm fine." From the moment Zhou Mingluo pushed the door, Aunt Xiu turned her gaze and kept looking at her with a loving gaze, but in this gaze, she also had a hint of apology.

She was really sorry, although the pressure she was under was unusually great, so when she learned that Fang Shutong refused to visit the prison by herself, she guessed the reason why she was so devastated, and let herself get drunk at home alone, and even launched a high fever.

Even though her high fever has basically subsided after the morning's treatment, and even her mood is still very depressed, she can now think about things rationally and face reality.

It wasn't until she saw Zhou Mingluo again that she was shocked, she was under a lot of pressure these days, is Zhou Mingluo small? Even so, Zhou Mingluo still has to devote so much energy to take care of her.

She can't help but be ashamed, how can she be sick and let everything be borne by a child? For her, Zhou Mingluo is really just a big child now.

Now that Fang Shutong's matter has become a foregone conclusion, she must also get rid of the shadow of this matter as soon as possible, after all, Fang Shutong can still come out after five years.

"It's really tired of you, Aunt Xiu can't stand you."

"Don't say that, this is what I should do......" Hearing what the other party said, Zhou Mingluo hurriedly waved his hand, but before he could finish speaking, Aunt Xiu smiled and sat up with her body propped up, "I'm really fine, it's just a fever, and the hospital did a stool for me before, so I can go home." ”

"Huh?" Seeing that although Aunt Xiu sat up, but she was struggling, Zhou Mingluo hurriedly pressed the other party on the hospital bed again, and then smiled, "Aunt Xiu, I know that you are almost better, but since you are all living here, there is no need to rush back immediately, you are still weak now, it is better to rest more, and I will send you home when you have enough energy." ”

The next moment, Zhou Mingluo got up again and said, "What do you want to eat now?" I'll go out and buy it for you. ”

"Xiaoluo."

After a few words, Aunt Xiu's eyes were sore, and she almost burst into tears again, but then she held back her tears, tried to squeeze out a smile and said what she wanted to eat, and after Zhou Mingluo wrote them down one by one and got up to buy food, she couldn't bear it anymore, and finally burst into tears on her face again.

However, while crying, she also secretly made up her mind that she must not fall ill so irresponsibly and put all the burden on Zhou Mingluo alone. And she and Uncle Fang were able to take in such a good child as Zhou Mingluo back then, which was really the biggest harvest and happiness over the years.

……………………

The next day, Nanjiang Hotel, Xinchuan City.

"Bi Lao." A clean and refreshing young man stood in the corridor with a porcelain plate in his hand, smiling at the old man who opened the door.

The young man is Zhou Mingluo, who accompanied Aunt Xiu in the hospital yesterday afternoon to recuperate for half a day, and did not pick up Aunt Xiu back to Ruixiang Community until the evening.

Then he returned to his hut, and after 12 o'clock, he drew the new [Seeking Symbol] and [King Kong Talisman] before falling asleep peacefully.

However, after waking up today, after thinking about it a little, he still directly took out the business card given to him by the old man surnamed Bi yesterday, and started dialing according to the mobile phone number on the business card.

The purpose of his contact with the other party was to sell the blue and white floor tiles, and since he had already absorbed the [Wen Qi] in the blue and white floor tiles, there was no need for him to continue to keep it.

After all, he wasn't really a collector, let alone that he needed money right now, and it was in desperate need.

At the beginning, in order to make Uncle Fang's sentence lighter, whether it was the Fang family's previous savings or his, they had almost been sold out, although he still had some small money left, but in the process of sending Aunt Xiu to the hospital yesterday and buying this blue and white floor tile, those small money was almost volatilized.

At this moment, his family is less than 300 yuan, so making money has become his main goal at the moment.

Whether it's for the rest of your life, or to continue to look for antiques to strengthen the yellow book in your hand, you need money.

And the quickest way to do this is undoubtedly to sell the blue and white floor tiles that I bought yesterday.

That's why he remembered the old man surnamed Bi.

For example, Uncle Fang has established a relatively complete relationship network with the past, and he knows a lot of more well-known collectors in Xinchuan, who not only have a certain economic foundation, but also understand the collection of antiques, which is really the most ideal type of customer.

No matter what treasure Uncle Fang finds, he can find the most suitable buyer as soon as possible and sell it at a more ideal price.

But this is the first time for Zhou Mingluo, in the past, he only worked under Uncle Fang, and occasionally most of his own practice was eye-catching, and he didn't have the opportunity to go through this transfer process, so he didn't have a familiar collector.

This is also fortunate that yesterday when buying this tile met the old man surnamed Bi, Zhou Mingluo has a good impression of the other party, otherwise how to sell this tile I am afraid it will take a lot of effort.

At that time, after the phone was connected in the community, as soon as he explained what he meant, Bi Lao on the other side immediately agreed excitedly.

After asking where the other party was staying, Zhou Mingluo also took a taxi with blue and white floor tiles.

Nanjing Hotel, which also has a certain reputation in the bustling Xinchuan, is one of the few five-star hotels in the city, and Bi Laoding is a business suite.

"Heh, little brother Mingluo, please come in!"

Until this moment, Bi Lao still had a shallow surprise on his face, he really couldn't believe that Zhou Mingluo would come to him so quickly with this blue and white floor tile, yesterday he opened his mouth several times to buy Zhou Mingluo firmly refused to sell, and now it has only been a night and the other party's position has changed greatly, which is really suspicious.

But to be honest, he would have liked to see that.

Please Zhou Mingluo into the room, after the two sat down on the sofa in the living room, it was a slight politeness, Bi Lao carefully picked up the entire porcelain plate and put it in front of him to appreciate it carefully for a moment, and then confirmed that this porcelain plate was indeed yesterday, and the bottom of the entire porcelain plate was really from the blue and white floor tiles of the first tower in the world.

Bi Lao's whole talent was obviously relaxed, and he really doubted that Zhou Mingluo would use a fake porcelain plate to fool himself, or he looked away yesterday, this chassis is not really blue and white floor tiles, it was this little guy who found something after going back.

After all, the other party's change was a little too sudden, and he couldn't help but be suspicious, the appreciation just now was even more serious and careful than the first time he looked at this porcelain plate yesterday.

But now all this speculation is of course self-defeating.

There is no problem with things, so no matter why Zhou Mingluo changes, he will never mind taking this tile.

"Little brother Mingluo, I don't know why you changed your position so suddenly, and I don't want to know, I can get such a tile, it's worth it for me to come to Xinchuan this time, so let's buy this tile for 180,000 yuan, I don't know if you are satisfied with this price?"

With Bi Lao's words, Zhou Mingluo was directly stunned, 180,000?

This figure is really a bit unexpected by him, not low, but high, with his previous estimate that the price of this tile should be between one hundred and twenty thousand, but one or two hundred thousand is just a general number, after all, what price it is, or determined by the buyer's own willingness to buy.

If it falls into the hands of people who don't like this tile very much, but are ready to sell it, the price of about 100,000 is about 100,000, even if it is generally more like to collect it, I am afraid that it will only bid 1230,000, and it is possible to sell it for nearly 200,000 yuan, but that usually has to be a few people who want to collect him together, and there is competition, so the price will be raised.

This kind of situation often happens in auctions, but if you enter the auction, the deducted commission is just as expensive, and it finally falls into the hands of Zhou Mingluo, which is actually not much higher.

But at this moment, Bi Lao actually opened his mouth to 180,000, and there was even room for negotiation in his tone?

Zhou Mingluo didn't believe that the other party couldn't guess why he changed his position so quickly, yesterday Lin Hong said that his current state was very short of money.

When a person is very short of money, if he sells something, he will often sell at a loss, even if the buyer on the opposite side is a pig, I am afraid that he understands that this is the best time to reduce the price.

After taking a deep look at Bi Lao, Zhou Mingluo nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Bi Lao, I am very satisfied with this price." ”

"Okay."

Bi Lao smiled and bowed, and even took out a pen from his jacket pocket, "I'll write you a check." ”

After a few breaths, a cash check that can withdraw 180,000 yuan was signed, and when the check fell into Zhou Ming's hand, after confirming that it was correct, the first transaction between the two parties also came to an end.

At this moment, both Zhou Mingluo and Bi Lao are full of excitement, Zhou Mingluo's excitement does not need to think much, of course, he is excited about his first real leak detection, the things bought for hundreds of yuan before can be sold at a price of more than 100,000 yuan, this is the fun of leak detection, it is easy to breed a sense of achievement, and it is to solve his imminent problem, of course, it is worth being happy, and Bi Lao is like a child holding the porcelain plate and can't put it down, and once again began to watch carefully.

"Bi Lao, if there is nothing else, then I will leave first." After a while, Zhou Mingluo put away the cash check and prepared to get up to say goodbye.

"Wait a minute." Until this time, Bi Laocai, who was still carefully watching the porcelain plate in his hand, suddenly paused, sobered up from the excitement, and then said with a smile, "Little brother Mingluo, I still have a reluctant request, I also came to Linchuan more than 20 years ago, but at that time there was no comparison between here and now, the place is dozens of times smaller, and other changes are too big, if you have time, I don't know if you are interested in helping me this old man and take me down Xinchuan?" People like us, everywhere we go, are probably most interested in the same place. ”

Indeed, whether you are a collector or a second-hand dealer, the most interesting place to go is probably the local antique gathering place. After listening to the other party's words, Zhou Mingluo immediately laughed too, of course this is no problem.

However, at the moment of getting up, Zhou Mingluo was also a little puzzled, is this the other party really not familiar with Xinchuan and needs a tour guide, or is the other party too happy and wants to give himself a chance to learn? Perhaps, it's a bit of both.
