Chapter 202: Picking Up the Leak
"Alright, boss, just tell me how much that wood carving is worth. Tell the cabinet official "Even Ye Qun couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly, I just told you a perfunctory sentence, you really treat our buddies as fools......
"Well, you take two thousand dollars." The boss sneered, he also knew that he had gone too far......
"What, two thousand? Why don't you rob it, just this kind of wood carving, two thousand yuan, I can buy two hundred! Ye Qun couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, this thing costs two thousand? Are you kidding? Even if you haven't played antiques, you know that this thing is not worth ten yuan......
"This boss, you can't say that, my thing came from the palace, and two thousand yuan is not much." After listening to Ye Qun's words, the boss was suddenly unhappy, that is, he saw that these two people didn't know how to do it, so the boss was too lazy to care, if it was a knowledgeable person, he would either say that this thing was not accurate and let the boss keep it, or he would put down and look at the next thing, saying that I don't want this thing......
"Return to the palace, ......" Ye Qun was about to say something more, Tang Dashao couldn't help but pull Ye Qun's sleeve, this guy, just now he was afraid of appearing in this kind of thing, so he specially told Ye Qun not to speak, but this guy just promised to be good, and he will ...... at this time
"Hehe, boss, let's take a look at something else, don't be too ruthless in your asking price, otherwise this thing won't be accurate." Tang Dashao said with a smile.
When the boss heard this, he couldn't help but show a bitter gourd face, it turned out that this young man was an expert, and it seemed that the set of fooling ordinary people was not used in him......
"How much does this stone peach cost?" The stone peach in Tang Dashao's hand is the size of a fist, and the carving is not bad, a bit of a sight, and the quality is much better than the wood carving he picked up first.
"Three hundred stone peaches." The boss said simply.
Tang Dashao nodded slightly, this time the boss did not ask for a blind price, this stone peach is also a little old, it belongs to the small stone carvings of the Republic of China period, vivid, although it is not a famous work, it is not bad to put it in the house as an ornament, and three hundred yuan is also a normal price.
Tang Dashao picked and chose from the small stalls, and took four or five small things, including wood carvings, stone carvings, copper coins, strange-looking stones, and so on.
"Boss, how much do you cost for this brick? It looks pretty good, and it's definitely perfect for smashing people. After picking a few things, Tang Dashao set his sights on what he really wanted, at this time Tang Dashao was still a little nervous, the foreplay was enough, this boss shouldn't be able to see anything.
"Slabs? Boss, you are joking, I don't have bricks here, this thing is the ancient city wall bricks, which used to be used to build the city wall, and now it is a cultural relic, you can give five hundred yuan if you want, this thing is not common now, there are many in previous years. The vendor owner laughed.
"Five hundred? Well, it's okay, then I want all these things, how much do you count. Tang Dashao drew five things towards him, including the ancient city wall bricks.
"How many of these things? These things add up to 1,000 and 6, boss, you just need to give 1,000 and 5. The vendor owner said cheerfully.
"One thousand five? Okay, you take it. Tang Dashao took out his wallet from his pocket, counted fifteen sheets from it, and Grandpa Mao came out and handed it out.
"That's right, boss, wait a minute, I'll wrap it up for you, so you can carry it." The vendor owner saw the fifteen chapters in his hand Grandpa Mao's mouth was grinning to the root of his ears, these gadgets were all collected from the countryside for a few dollars, dozens of yuan, or bought from some small shops, and now they can be sold ten times, dozens of times, which is already a lot of money, the cost of the few things in Tang Dashao's hand does not add up to more than 100 yuan, and he makes more than 1,000 yuan from changing hands, can you be happy......
Tang Da Shao carried the bag that the boss had packed for himself, and left the stall with a smile on his face, Ye Qun followed behind a little strangely, how many gadgets cost fifteen hundred yuan? It's just a cheat......
"Fifth brother, you're still unhappy." Tang Dashao quipped.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, but I don't understand, the boss really brags about not paying taxes, saying that the wood carving is what kind of ancestral heirloom, it came out of the palace, just kidding, just that carver? Although I don't know much appreciation, I can see at a glance that the wood carving is obviously a defective ......," Ye Qun said angrily.
"Haha, you still say you're not angry? You don't know this business, and when you do, it's no wonder, he's still blowing small, do you know what I said when I was at the old front door of the market, I met a small vendor owner pointing to a night pot? He said that this was used by Emperor Qianlong, can you still be more serious with him? This antique is originally true and false, false and true, whether you can find good things or not, it all depends on a pair of eyes. Tang Dashao said with a smile.
"What? Emperor Qianlong used? So unreliable? What evidence does he have that it was used by Emperor Qianlong? Ye Qun said indignantly.
"Then what evidence do you have to say that this was not used by Emperor Qianlong? Unless Qianlong jumped out of the ground and said that I hadn't used it, otherwise we would have our own opinions, and no one would be able to prove anything. Tang Dashao shook his head and said.
Let Emperor Qianlong jump out of the ground and say that he didn't use it......
"Is there anything special about that bunch of stuff you just bought from there?" Ye Qun asked.
"Special? Of course, there's a good thing in there, and you can guess which one. Tang Dashao said with a smile.
"Which one? This is still guessing, it must be the brick. Ye Qun said with a determined face.
Tang Da Shao was stunned when he heard this, how could he be so sure, could it be that he also saw the mystery of the bricks of the ancient city wall?
But doesn't the fifth brother know anything about this thing?
Seeing that Tang Dashao was stunned by himself, Ye Qun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you think I also see something special about that brick?" ”
"Well, isn't it? Otherwise, if I bought five things, how can you be sure that I am talking about the bricks of the ancient city wall? Tang Dashao wondered.
"Haha, I haven't studied antiques, and to be honest, I haven't found anything special about that broken brick." Ye Qun laughed.
"And how do you know?" Tang Dashao asked.
"It's simple, I can't look at things, but I can look at people, I can see from your table that the brick is not simple." Ye Qundao.
Look at me? Could it be that he is in such a hurry? But why didn't the shrewd-looking vendor owner see anything wrong?
"Is my performance so bad? Then why didn't the boss see it? If the boss saw it, he would never have sold me this ancient city wall brick for 500 yuan. Tang Da Shaodao.
"Haha, that's because the boss didn't know beforehand that the thing you chose was boring, and I knew, so I could see it. That brick is your last choice, after the selection of the boss to listen to the boss's offer, do not hesitate to deal, since the thing you want is in hand, naturally there is no need to look at it again, so I judge, that brick has a problem. Ye Qun said with a smile.
"Fifth brother, you don't have much ability to see things, but your ability to see people is very powerful, that's right, there is a problem with the bricks of the ancient city wall." Tang Dashao nodded, sure enough, although this Ye Qun is not in politics, he is from a big family, and he does have a set of people.
"What's the secret of that brick? It must not be easy for you to take a fancy to it. Ye Qun hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, of course it's not simple, but it's not an ancient city wall brick, but an inkstone." Tang Dashao said with a smile.
"What? Inkstone? The inkstone in the four treasures of the study? It can't be, I look at it as a brick. Ye Qun said in surprise.
"Haha, look at the appearance is indeed a brick, but there is a lot of things inside, fifth brother, you don't want to think about it, if even you, a layman, can see that this is an inkstone, then can it be our turn to buy it for five hundred yuan? The vendor owner also knows a little bit about collecting, how can the value of an ancient inkstone be only 500 yuan? Tang Dashao shook his head and said.
"Well, that's true, but you're really good, and you can see the extraordinary bricks before you get to the side of that stall." Ye Qun exclaimed, before he got to the vendor, Tang Dashao told him not to speak, obviously, at that time, this Tang Fei already knew the extraordinaryness of that brick.
"Hehe, it's not that powerful, good luck, good luck." Tang Dashao was telling the truth, if he hadn't been lucky enough to get the ability from a broken ceramic dog, I'm afraid he wouldn't know where he was now......
"But the bricks haven't been opened, how do you know it's an inkstone?" Ye Qun wondered.
When Tang Dashao heard this, cold sweat came out, yes, the bricks haven't been opened yet, Nima, pretending to be too much......
You can't say you have the ability to see through......
"I guess." Tang Da Shaodao.
"Guess?" Ye Qun looked at Tang Dashao with some suspicion, this can also be guessed? Isn't I overestimating this guy's ability......
"Well, it's a guess, I've seen something similar before, there is an inkstone hidden in the bricks of the ancient city wall, just now when I was on the stall, I carefully observed this inkstone, and found that there are fine cracks on it, this is similar to the one I have seen before, so I guess there may also be an inkstone hidden in it." Tang Dashao nodded and said, so far, he can only explain to Ye Qun like this, although this explanation is full of loopholes......
"Really?" Ye Qun looked at Tang Da Shaodao with a look of disbelief, if he Ye Qun also believed this explanation, then wouldn't he be an idiot...... this guy had already told himself not to speak before he looked at the bricks......
"Well, that's true." Seeing that Ye Qun was a little unconvinced, Tang Dashao had no choice but to die and hold on......
