Chapter Eighty-Five: On the Agenda
Yu Lifei thought that Wu Wengu happened to be here, and as soon as he went out, he was about to rush to the burial area with a sack. But when he walked out of the village, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he remembered Xuanyuan Tao's reminder last night. Carry something yourself, and when you go in, no one will say anything. But if you come out, if you are suspicious, then you really can't tell it.
"Lifei, where did you go?" When Yu Lifei was about to take the car back to the city, he received a call from Ren Jingtian.
"I'm in Chen Village, Brother Ren, you don't have to go to work today?" Yu Lifei asked with a smile, Ren Jingtian was helping him run many things. He could feel that the other party really treated him as a brother.
"At work, I couldn't get through to the phone in the morning, and I thought you ran away again." Ren Jingtian joked that although Yu Lifei was just a small security guard, sometimes he felt that he was busier than himself.
"I just collected something here, let's have a meal together at noon, and you will give you a palm at that time." Yu Lifei knew what Ren Jingtian liked, as long as there was something new, it would immediately attract his attention.
"I said, how can you kid pick up leaks everywhere?" Ren Jingtian said eagerly, he thought that Yu Lifei was guarding the mountain last night, and he must have fed the mosquitoes all night, and he was gloating, but he didn't expect that this small one could still pick up the leak. Hearing the news, he couldn't wait to fly to Yu Lifei's side immediately.
"It's a matter of whether it's a leak, but I think it's a little interesting." Yu Lifei said that he had an idea, and if possible, he wanted to use these woodblock engravings to print a few woodblock books in ancient ways.
"What is it?" Ren Jingtian asked busily.
"Then you will know the truth." Yu Lifei sold it.
Yu Lifei returned to the store and put all the woodcut engravings of the sack into the safe. The size of the safe is convenient. Whatever it is, you can stuff it in. Yu Lifei thought to himself, if he could fill this safe, he would be considered famous.
"Is the boss there?" A timid voice sounded outside.
Yu Lifei walked out and saw a man wearing a camouflage uniform and holding a plastic bag in his hand. Looking at it, he doesn't look like a middle-aged man from the city. Standing at the door of the store with some restraint, he was looking at it with his head probed, and when he saw Yu Lifei, he immediately shrunk his neck.
"Hello. Please come in and talk about it. Can I help you? Yu Lifei was very enthusiastic, this was the first time someone took the initiative to come to the door. He has heard others say that there are often people who take the initiative to come to the store to deliver goods, and there are shovels. There are also some regular customers from the city. But this man looks. Neither is it.
"Is it received here?" But the man who came did not lift his foot. Seeing that Yu Lifei's store was empty, he hesitated.
"Of course, this is an antique shop. As long as it's a good thing, it's naturally collected, so come in and sit down. Yu Lifei smiled and said, it seems that he has to find a way to get a batch of goods, even if it is a handicraft, it can be decorated with a façade. As for the signboard outside, it has to be hung up quickly.
"Then you can see how much this thing is worth." The middle-aged man walked in, didn't dare to sit down, and carefully took out a light green relief pen from the plastic bag and placed it on the counter next to Yu Lifei.
Yu Lifei didn't get started immediately, he carefully looked at the relief carvings along the mouth of the pen wash, which should be carved with toads, geckos, centipedes, poisonous snakes, scorpions and other five poisons. The image is more vivid, the appearance is fine and clear, the image is vivid and realistic, the action is exaggerated and real, and the picture sense is very strong. The material is like jade, but what kind of jade it is, Yu Lifei still doesn't know.
The middle-aged man saw that Yu Lifei was just staring at the pen wash, but he didn't get started, and he was even more uneasy. Under his expectations, Yu Lifei finally picked up the pen to wash, but just looked at it and immediately put it down again.
"How much are you going to sell?" Yu Lifei asked lightly, from the beginning when he saw this wash, he felt that something was wrong. Although he doesn't know much about identification, it is a little unreasonable to analyze it from common sense. The pen wash is the stuff of the literati, who will carve these poisons on it? Start again and judge the authenticity.
"Someone just sold three thousand, and I didn't sell it." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, the meaning was obvious. Everyone else has paid three thousand, and you must not be lower than this price here.
"Oh, it's a pity." Yu Lifei shook his head and said with a sigh. "Three thousand bucks, you should shoot."
"Boss, how much can you get out?" The middle-aged man was a little nervous by Yu Lifei's style.
"Thirty." Yu Lifei said.
"Thirty?!" The middle-aged man was dumbfounded, and his face was flushed. I don't know if it's because Yu Lifei's bid is too low and he feels insulted, or because he has a weak heart.
"The reason why I am willing to buy it is because I don't want anyone to look at it again, although this wash looks good, but what is the wash used for? It was the furnishings of the study of the literati, who would put poison on it? Yu Lifei said, even if it is himself, he will not tolerate such a thing in the study, right?
The middle-aged man didn't seem to understand, so he didn't say anything more, picked up the five-poison jade carving pen and washed it, and left in a panic. Yu Lifei didn't care either, after all, things like this are too common. After looking at the time, it was almost noon, so I took out a woodcut engraving and took a taxi to the Hongxing Police Station.
Just across the street from the police station, there is a home-cooked restaurant called Burn Incense, which is the designated hospitality unit of the police station. Yu Lifei booked a box before calling Ren Jingtian.
"Brother Ren, I've arrived, in box three." Yu Lifei said.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Ren Jingtian said, within two minutes, he trotted all the way to the third box. It's not that I'm thinking about eating, I'm just curious about what good things Yu Lifei has received, and I want to see it.
"Brother Ren, take a look." Yu Lifei handed over the engraving, and he deliberately took the piece of the peasant woman cutting vegetables, which was engraved with Ouyang Xiu's Drunkard Pavilion.
"Why are there so many scratches on it?" Ren Jingtian first saw the smooth side and asked puzzledly. In addition to paying attention to the source of inheritance, antiques must also have quality. Something like this that is artificially destroyed will be greatly diminished.
"You turn it over and take a look." Yu Lifei said.
"Why are there so many words? This looks like an engraving, right? Although Ren Jingtian hadn't seen it before, he still recognized it at a glance.
"Guess what this engraving was used for?" Yu Lifei said with a smile.
"What else can you do with engraving. Could it be that who still can't use it as a cutting board or firewood? Ren Jingtian said that he didn't know much about woodcut engraving, and he had never seen anything like it on the stall before.
"Are you really right, do you see the knife marks on it? When I saw it, someone was using it as a cutting board to cut chili peppers. And some of them, they used to start fires, and if they hadn't touched me, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been long before these precious engravings would have been reduced to ashes. Yu Lifei sighed and said.
"No matter how good it is. In the hands of these people, it will be ruined. How much is this thing worth? Ren Jingtian asked.
"In my mind. It's priceless. Yu Lifei said solemnly.
"Your priceless treasure must be recognized." Ren Jingtian still thinks that the hero should be judged by price, you yourself think it is a good thing, but the market does not recognize it, what's the use?
"A daughter can buy a favorite. As long as I feel good for myself, it's enough. Yu Lifei said with a smile.
"Are you going to Chen Village at night?" Ren Jingtian asked. Chen Cun is too biased. Not only is the mobile phone signal not very good, even if you drive there, it will take forty or fifty minutes.
"yes. You'll probably be there all this time. Yu Lifei said that he felt that the work there was much easier than that of the museum. Especially the breath in the tomb, which made his ancient jade skill suddenly upgrade, and made him have a good impression there. He was willing to guard there.
"I said you'd better buy a car, right? It's not just three or five days to dig up the tomb, and you'll have to stay there this year. Ren Jingtian said, if this ancient tomb is very important, it is normal to build it for a year or two.
"Won't it?" Yu Lifei was surprised and said, if this is really the case, it will be a little bad. It takes almost two hours to return to the antique market from Chen Village and come back by car. This is nothing, there is no car at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, that is, he must leave at five or six o'clock, otherwise he can only take a taxi.
"Can I still lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask someone. Ren Jingtian said.
"If that's the case, then maybe you can actually buy a car." Yu Lifei sighed, if there was no antique shop, he didn't care, even if he stayed in the tomb area every day. Watching other people's archaeology can also learn something yourself. But he now feels that the antique shop is more important than his job, and the job can be lost, but the antique shop must be opened.
"Isn't that a good thing? You definitely want to buy a car, and it's better to buy it later than to buy it early. I'll give me my ID card later, and I'll get your driver's license first. Ren Jingtian said.
"Brother Ren, how much does it cost to buy a car now?" Yu Lifei asked.
"Generally, hundreds of thousands of yuan are fine, but if you want to go to the countryside in the future, it is best to do it in one step, I think you can buy an off-road vehicle of five or six hundred thousand." Ren Jingtian said.
"Five or six hundred thousand? I don't have that much money. Yu Lifei sighed, now all his savings are only 400,000, how can he afford such a good car?
"Wouldn't you just go pick up another leak?" Ren Jingtian is already numb to Lifei's leakage, every time he earns more than ten or two hundred thousand, five or six hundred thousand is just a trivial matter.
"It would be nice if it was as simple as you say." Yu Lifei felt that he was still down-to-earth and took his time. Now there wasn't even a decent thing in the store, and he was too embarrassed to open the door.
"It's okay, the money is not in hand for a while, you can take out a loan, but the car must be one step at a time. Otherwise, I will borrow your car in the future, and I will lose face. Ren Jingtian said with a smile.
"Let's talk about it then, even if you help me get a driver's license, I still have to go to school." Yu Lifei said.
"It's okay, I'm here, Bao Jiao Bao Hui." Ren Jingtian patted his chest and said.
"Brother Ren, you can help me take this engraving back to Uncle Ren to see, there are some things I can't tell." Yu Lifei said that although he is not yet fully introduced to antiques, he has a unique advantage over others, and Ren Zhiwei and Wu Wengu are not something that anyone can invite.
"Aren't you with Wu Lao?" Ren Jingtian asked.
"My work hours are staggered with him." Yu Lifei said that it was obviously inappropriate to ask Wu Wengu to look at things in the unit. He is no better than Yan Li, and if he does this in the unit, it is easy for people to gossip.
"Okay, I'm used to running errands for you anyway." Ren Jingtian said with a smile.
"Who made you my brother?" Yu Lifei said with a smile.
"By the way, the safe in your house will be installed the day after tomorrow, and you will have to wait at home then." Ren Jingtian thought of one thing.
"The day after tomorrow? OK. "Yu Lifei now has time during the day.
PS: I haven't had a monthly pass until now, but I'm in a hurry, I'm going to be blown up again, it hurts! (To be continued......)
