"Two thousand?!" Yu Lifei exclaimed, stood up and turned around to leave. The money on his body added up to his early 200s, and this inconspicuous mud thing actually cost 2,000, which really opened his eyes. After returning from this matter, I must tell the old man that a piece of mud in the province is more expensive than at home. You must know that the ancient jade he bought in the south last time was only 200 yuan.

"Well, don't go." When the stall owner saw Yu Lifei hear the price, he immediately got up and left, and hurriedly shouted. He didn't expect that with only two thousand yuan, he could completely break Yu Lifei's thoughts.

"I don't have that much money." Yu Lifei said helplessly, although he was attracted by this thing just now, he could only look away.

"And how much money do you have?" The stall owner asked casually, it was the first time he had met such an honest buyer, although he didn't have much money, but it still made him happy. This boy bathed in the cow ornament was collected by him from a shoveler in the countryside, the so-called shoveler, who was a dealer who specialized in buying antiques in the countryside. At that time, it almost didn't cost much, because after all, it was a bamboo product, which was a match.

"I only have ...... Seventy dollars, if you want to sell it, that's all there is. As soon as Yu Lifei opened his mouth, he immediately understood what the other party meant. Although he is kind, he is not stupid, and if he really wants to talk about his heart, even the old man will be planted in his hands.

"Seventy?" Zhan Yu frowned, this boy bathing cow picture is almost zero cost, no matter what price the other party offers, it can be sold. For these people, they don't care about the value of the object, even if it is a fake, as long as they can make money, it is enough.

Seeing that Yu Lifei was leaving, he was afraid that the cooked duck would fly, sighed, frowned, looked like a pain in flesh, and said reluctantly: "Forget it, forget it, see that your little brother is also a real person, make a friend, and sell you at seventy." "No matter how few mosquitoes are, they are still meat, and besides, this is a business, as long as he can make money, it will be fine.

Yu Lifei held this ornament in his hand and handed over a hundred pieces. The stall owner took it, didn't think much about it, and immediately found thirty. But when Yu Lifei walked into the rice noodle shop with his things, the stall owner came to his senses: "Aren't you only seventy?" ”

"I've got to eat, right? Except for eating and sleeping, it's really only seventy. Yu Lifei turned his head and said with a smile.

Their transaction has been completed, and the stall owner didn't expect to look at the honest teenager, but he has this mind, so he can only smile bitterly. He has been in the antique market for several years, but it is the first time he has encountered someone like Yu Lifei. Although he was 100% profitable, he didn't have the excitement just now.

This rice noodle shop is located on the antique street, and the decoration naturally cannot look unusual. From the outside alone, it looks antique, with signs, shop doors, and pillars all antique. After walking in, all the tables, chairs and benches look quaint. Even in the lobby, I even saw the screen.

As soon as he walked in, Yu Lifei first swept some price cards made of wood hanging on the wall. Seeing that the price was affordable, he was relieved. At this time, he was in the mood to set his eyes on the hall, and when he swept it, he saw an acquaintance. After he arrived in Tanzhou, it was only a few hours, and the one who could be called an acquaintance was the old man at the exit of the train station. Yu Lifei didn't think much about it, and saw that the table of the Eight Immortals he was sitting on was still empty, so he walked over and put the ornaments aside.

"Old man, there's no one here, right?" Yu Lifei asked.

"No, young man, we're really married." Wu Wengu said with a smile that he had already noticed it from the moment Yu Lifei walked in.

"Xie Lu Xie, old man, you just got off the train, why are you eating outside?" Yu Lifei asked in surprise, since the old man was picked up by his family, why do he have to eat a good meal at home, right? Every time he went back, the old man would make him a good meal, how could he deal with it casually outside.

"I love the handmade noodles here, and I have been out for a few days this time. Can you show me this? Wu Wengu pointed to the boy bathing cow ornament that Yu Lifei placed on the table at random and asked. He was an expert in archaeology and had a lifelong love of antiques. With his eyes, it felt like an open object.

"Absolutely." Yu Lifei actually didn't know why he wanted to spend such a large amount of "huge money" to buy such a thing. When he was holding the ornament just now, he had a very comfortable feeling. It's as if someone is spending money to enjoy themselves in order to be comfortable.

"Young man, do you know what this is?" Wu Wengu cautiously took it over, took out a small magnifying glass, and looked at it carefully. I picked up the banknote on the table again, wiped it gently, and then put the ornament in front of me and asked.

"Bamboo carvings, ornaments." Yu Lifei said honestly that he was a complete layman when it came to antiques.

"Yes, this is a boy bathing cow ornament. If you look closely, it is carved from bamboo roots, which is exquisitely light and moist. The boy leaned over the cow's back, his face was round, his eyebrows were smiling, one leg was on his side, the other leg was bent, his left hand was a sea bowl and his right hand was broomstick, and he was about to pour water to rinse the cow's body. The old cow lay on the ground tamely, with four hooves pressed on his belly, looking up at the naughty boy on his body, licking and playing with the splash of water. Lovely things, all in one go, make people happy. Wu Wengu said, this thing looks like a handicraft, but if you look closely, it should be something from the early Qing Dynasty.

"Sir, you are very knowledgeable, and you are much more knowledgeable than the stall owner just now." Yu Lifei admires it very much, a single ornament can say so many ways.

"You just bought this outside?" Wu Wengu asked in surprise, if this is the case, it will be regarded as a leak.

"yes, it cost seventy." Yu Lifei said with some pain that if it weren't for his inexplicable liking, he would definitely not use such a "huge amount" to buy something that should neither be eaten nor worn.

"Seventy? You've picked up a leak, boy. Wu Wengu looked at Yu Lifei's expression, and said incredulously, seventy yuan to buy an early Qing boy bathing cow ornament, and pretend to be in pain, do you want others to live?

Although Wu Wengu has been in contact with antiques for decades, the number of times he has missed them is only a handful. But this young man just arrived in Tanzhou today, and before he spent the night, he picked up a leak. And it can be seen that Yu Lifei is not an insider at all, not even an antique lover, otherwise he can't even tell what he bought. So all this can only show that his luck is too good, and it makes him, a senior expert, very envious.

"Pick up the leak? When did I pick it up? Where did you pick it up? Yu Lifei was confused.

"Ha, lad, you're funny. By the way, we've met twice, and it's fate, can you tell me, your name? My name is Wu Wengu, and I live around here. Wu Wengu said with a smile, the person who bought the antique, but he didn't know what he meant, it was the first time he had encountered such a thing. If you want to pick up the leaks, in addition to knowledge, vision, and skills, the most important thing is to have luck. The first three can be missing, but luck is the most lacking.

"Hello Grandpa Wu, my name is Yu Lifei, I just arrived in Tanzhou today, please take care of me." Yu Lifei stood up, bowed respectfully, and said. Respecting teachers and valuing education is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation, and what he has received since he was a child is a traditional education, which has been imprinted in his bones. Until junior high school, he was educated by the old man alone.

"Less, I can call you that. The so-called leakage is to buy a very valuable antique at a very cheap price, and the seller is often unaware. For example, like you today, you can be called a leak," Wu Wengu said.

"So that's the case, Grandpa Wu, so this boy bathing cow picture ornament is very valuable?" Yu Lifei asked, he didn't expect Wu Wengu to be so interested in such a small thing. Although he was also very interested, his interest was completely different from Wu Wengu's.

"Less, the purpose of collecting is not to invest and make money, but a kind of cultural inheritance, and it is customary to raise money. Bamboo carving in the Ming and Qing dynasties won the favor of literati and scholars. The shape of this vessel is simple and elegant, the knife work is exquisite, and it is slender and exquisite. The posture of the characters is vivid and visible, comfortable and leisurely, elegant and refreshing, fresh and refined, and valuable. Wu Wengu said that he felt that it was too early to talk to Yu Lifei about the way of collecting, and even if he wanted to talk about it, he would have to wait until he solved the problem of food and clothing.

Antiques are generally played by those who have money and leisure, and for the current Yu Lifei, it is indeed a little out of reach. It's just that he is very strange, since Yu Lifei is a layman of antiques, why would he buy antiques, and he can buy real antiques as soon as he buys them?

"Grandpa Wu, you are really knowledgeable, well-versed in the past and the present, a muddy thing, can say so many truths." Yu Lifei said with admiration that he bought this ornament purely because of feeling.

"I was originally engaged in historical research, but after I retired, I was rehired, and I often helped others identify some things, so naturally I know more about the Tao." Wu Wengu humbly said that although he often comes into contact with antiques, he does not have many collections.

"It would be nice to have your kind of knowledge." Yu Lifei said.

"Young, you are still young, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will always achieve something. By the way, are you planning to sell this ornament? Wu Wengu asked, he felt that Yu Lifei had just arrived in Tanzhou, and looking at what he was wearing, it didn't look like he was from a rich family. Now for Lifei, the most important thing is probably to solve economic problems.

"Shot?" Yu Lifei asked in surprise, in his opinion, shooting is not a fight, or a fight or hunting. In the mountains, as long as he makes a move, there will definitely be a harvest. Since the age of twelve, he and the old man have eaten all the wild meat they have eaten.

"Oh, it's resale, it's selling. You spend seventy dollars, but if you want to sell, it's more than seventy. Wu Wengu said with a smile, Yu Lifei is completely a layman. This boy bathing cow picture ornament, in his hands, has no value at all. And the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, and the thoughts of the people in the city

"I have no plans to resell it yet." Yu Lifei thought about it for a while, this boy bathing cow picture ornament made him feel very comfortable, if he hugged and slept at night, he would definitely have a different taste. Although he doesn't have much money now, and he is deeply aware of the importance of money, if he gives up what he likes because of money, what fun is there in life?
