Chapter 8 Bribery of Gold and Jade
As the saying goes, if you kill a leper, you will pay a good person, although Ye Fei did not see with his own eyes how the tricycle tripped over the wood carving, but from the current situation, the wood carving was indeed damaged by the wheel, anyway, the matter has come to this point, it depends on how to solve it properly.
The lean old man walked to Ye Fei and stood still, stretched out his hand and grabbed the front of the car, a pair of bean drum eyes quickly glanced at the car body, and a look of disappointment in his eyes flashed instantly.
Ye Fei put down the wood carving, looked up at the stall owner and whispered: "The things are not all broken, since I knocked them down, you still say what to do!" ”
The thin old man squinted his eyes and said: "This is the boxwood medicine Buddha at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the quality is not good, it is not a problem to sell it for 1,800 yuan, it can be regarded as the finale of my stall, and now there is a lack of a piece of light to repair at least 1,000 yuan, and the old man will not lie to you, take away a thousand yuan, and you have to decide how to do it." ”
"A thousand?" Ye Fei's eyes widened, and he repeated loudly, in fact, he was prepared to lose money in his heart, but the amount reported by the stall owner still greatly exceeded his expectations, and all his belongings now plus one piece was not enough for two hundred and five, and he couldn't afford to pay if he wanted to.
The lean old man seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said with a light smile: "One thousand yuan is already the lowest price, this is for your honest sake, if you add eight hundred yuan more according to the original price, if you meet a buyer who knows the goods, you can make a lot of money......"
Ye Fei frowned and stared at the wood carving in front of him, the stall owner's words went in his left ear and his right ear slipped out, and he was stunned without leaving half a word, at this time, a pocket wood carving appeared in his mind, and the wood carving was covered with a layer of pale golden brilliance, and a vast and distant voice sounded in his mind: gold and jade bribes.
Different from the 'Ten Steps of Blood Light' not long ago, this time it is an idiom, 'Jin Yu' is gold and beautiful jade, and bribery refers to treasure wealth, don't look at Ye Fei has to go to the bar street every night to sell skewers, his grades in school are definitely among the best, he usually likes ancient texts, and it is easy to explain idioms, when he heard the idiom of gold and jade bribery, his heart palpitated, and his expression became excited.
The thin old man spoke proudly about a large stack, and suddenly found that Ye Fei on the other side was looking at the wood carving in a daze, his eyes were already red, as if he was about to shed tears, his heart moved slightly, and he secretly thought, this kid is honest, and he looks like he is also a master who has no oil and water, it seems that this price has to be pressed down again, and he will find a way to squeeze the cash in his pocket......
Ye Fei didn't know what the old man was paying attention to, he walked quickly to the tricycle with two quick steps, stretched out his hand to open the old wooden cash box, grabbed all the banknotes, spread his hands and whispered: "My money is all here, a total of two hundred and forty-eight yuan and five cents, no more." ”
The expression on the thin old man's face was slightly stunned, and the bean drum stared at the banknote in Ye Fei's hand, he thought that it would take a lot of work to squeeze out the cash in this kid's pocket, but he didn't expect the other party to be like this, the wood carving was used yesterday for less than fifty yuan to collect from the countryside, and it can be turned several times more by playing a trick, it is worth it!
The pocket wood carving in Ye Fei's mind disappeared at the same time as the strange sound appeared, but he had a hunch in his heart that this wood carving contained something, and if he could buy it with all the money, he might have an unexpected gain.
"Old man Mi, you old man is killing the second master early in the morning? The soil is buried to the root of the neck, and I don't know how much yin virtue can be accumulated. A low male voice sounded from behind the thin old man, the expression on his face changed suddenly, and he immediately stretched out his thin palm and grabbed the banknote in Ye Fei's hand, the monkey looked anxious as if the banknote would grow wings and fly away in a second.
Ye Fei frowned, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a red armband striding towards this side, Old Man Mi turned his back to the middle-aged man, quickly put the banknote in his hand into his pocket, raised his finger and pointed to the wood carving and said loudly: "The money and goods are clear, the Medicine Buddha is yours, don't forget that there is a nose on the ground." ”
There is an unwritten rule in Qinggu Street, as long as the buyer and seller have both money and goods, they will still find leaks and no one else. The antique industry is all based on an eye, to find a lot of high-imitation fakes in the Taobao must have the consciousness of spending gold to buy rotten vegetables, of course, there are special cases of using the price of cabbage to find gold, which is the fun of Taobao.
The banknote in Ye Fei's hand was put into Old Man Mi's pocket, which was a fact that no one could change, and it meant that the transaction had been completed in Qinggu Street.
Old man Mi no longer paid attention to Ye Fei, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, turned around, and showed a flattering smile to the middle-aged man who came closer: "Brother Biao, the old man does his duty to do business, and he will never dare to kill the second master on your territory. The words were lighthearted, but the smile on his face was a little stiff.
The middle-aged man is the security captain of Qinggu Street, surnamed Zhang Shan Mingbiao, who is responsible for the security of the market and the supervision of the order of transactions, etc., he is upright, and he can't rub half a grain of sand in his eyes, since he took over the security work of Qinggu Street, he began to vigorously rectify all kinds of fraud in the market, 'killing the second master' is one of the worse ones, and he must be severely punished if he catches it.
The unscrupulous hawker deliberately put the damaged goods on the very edge of the stall, and hung the corners of the object with a live buckle transparent fishing line.
Zhang Biao just received the news that Old Man Mi was secretly doing this kind of 'killing the second master', just now he received the news, and he specially rushed over to catch the appearance, and he must be punished for pulling pants from this old thing.
"Humph! Whether you killed the second master or not, you don't count. Zhang Biao snorted coldly, turned his head to Ye Fei, and found that he was bending down to pick up the broken wood carving and look at it carefully, as if he was quite interested in the old wooden pimple in his hand, which made him wonder in his heart, isn't the news right, how can you see that this kid doesn't look like a player!
Zhang Biao was wondering, Ye Fei suddenly picked up the wood carving in his hand and smashed it on the blue brick floor, snap! The wood carving was torn apart with a piercing crunch, and from the shattered wood carved rolled a crystal clear object, a bead the size of a pigeon's egg, shining in the sunlight.
Ye Fei showed a touch of joy on his face, stretched out his hand and grabbed the beads, he didn't know the value of the beads, just looking at this appearance was quite good, holding it in the palm of his hand, he now finally understood the meaning of 'gold and jade bribery', and all the doubts in his heart were instantly dispelled with joy.
"Young man, can you show the old man the object in your hand?" A calm and old voice sounded from behind him, Ye Fei's palm holding the beads trembled slightly, and his heart was inexplicably nervous.
