449. The Trouble
Fu Xinghan is in a good mental state today, after two days of bed rest, coupled with the effect of sulfonamides, his body has basically recovered. He had already gotten angry with Ling Yunpeng, and planned to implement the second step of his treasure digging plan today, treasure appreciation.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, in an antique shop called "Shang Bao Zhai" near Suzhou Creek, a middle-aged man with a big oily back hair, a mustache, and a set of well-made and expensive suits walked in slowly, holding a pipe in his hand.
As soon as the guy saw it, he knew that this was an old Koehler with a bit of identity and some spare money in his pocket, and he was just about to come forward to greet him, but he was stopped by the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper saw that he was very popular, and he was afraid that the guy would be sluggish, so he came over in person and greeted him warmly: "Hello, sir, is there anything I can do for you?" ”
"Oh, I happened to be passing by here, and I saw such an elegant antique shop here, so I came in and took a look." The middle-aged man owed a slight debt to the shopkeeper, and looked around with a smile at the antiques displayed around the store.
"Mr. is knowledgeable at a glance, we have famous calligraphy and paintings, ceramic seals, jade wood carvings, everything, I don't know what kind of antiques Mr. is interested in?"
"Are there any ancient coins?"
"This, yes, yes."
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then agreed with a smile on his face, and then took out a rosewood box from under the counter, opened the box, and there were rows of copper coins inside.
The old Koehler took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, then picked up one of them, then took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, looked at it carefully, put it down, picked up another, looked at it, shook his head, looked at more than a dozen copper coins in a row, and then put them all down, with a noncommittal smile on his face.
"Well, sir, are you interested in these ancient coins?" The shopkeeper asked impatiently.
"The most valuable ancient coin you have here is this Guangxu ingot, but unfortunately there are many of these copper coins on the market today, it is not surprising, and some other coins have fakes." The middle-aged man said disapprovingly while taking off his white gloves.
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly: "It seems that Mr. is really an expert." ”
The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, just a little experience." ”
"Sir, in fact, I have a complete range of other antiques here, but the coins are slightly lacking." The shopkeeper admits that his Shang Bao Zhai ancient coins are shortcomings.
"In fact, the antique shop doesn't have to be exhaustive, it's good to have one or two treasures of the town store."
"That's what the gentleman said. However, now in troubled times, there are a few people who play with the treasures left by these ancestors, not to mention that those porcelain calligraphy and paintings are not easy to preserve, a little careless, it will destroy a rare treasure, but those ancient coins are good to preserve, compared to other antiques, ancient coins have been selling well over the years, but unfortunately, I am short of this. ”
"Yes, antique coins are still quite popular in the antique market today. I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to find some treasures, but now it seems ......"
The middle-aged man sighed and was about to turn to leave, when two young men, one tall and one short, dressed in short tys, broke in outside the store.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, can you help me see, are these two ancient coins worth me?" After the tall young man finished speaking, he took out a handkerchief bag from his trouser pocket, opened the handkerchief bag, and inside was two ancient coins of dark color.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately turned around, and couldn't wait to pick up one of the coins and take a closer look, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, this is the Yongle Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he quickly picked up another one and looked at it carefully, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Little brother, where did you get this coin from?" ”
"You don't care where you got it, just tell me if it's worth it, right?" The tall young man hurriedly snatched the two coins from the shopkeeper's hand and the middle-aged man's hand, and wrapped them in handkerchiefs.
The shopkeeper smiled: "Little brother, if you don't make it clear where you came from, I suspect that you are the result of tomb robbery, and this is going to be a lawsuit." ”
"Who robbed the tomb, this is what we picked up." The short young man hurriedly argued.
"Picked up? Picked up on the street? Why can't I pick it up? Don't lie. The shopkeeper didn't believe the young man's words at all.
"I don't lie to you, I picked it up, right there, in the warehouse around Suzhou Creek, in that open space." The short man hurriedly argued.
"Oh? Picked it up at the warehouse along the Suzhou Creek? The middle-aged man asked curiously, his eyes widened.
"Yes, today our brothers walked by there, and accidentally kicked a hard thing, I thought it was a pebble, but if I looked closely, it turned out to be a copper coin, which looked a little old, and then I found another one." The short man continued to clarify to the shopkeeper.
The tall man glared at the short man and said softly, "As long as you talk a lot, go quickly." ”
After the tall man finished speaking, he pulled the short man and hurried away.
The middle-aged man looked at the back of the two brothers leaving, and muttered to himself: "Maybe there is really such a thing, a few days ago, the water pipes were being repaired near there, and it rained heavily in the past two days, maybe the treasure buried in the soil was washed out." It seems that these treasures under the ground want to see the light of day again. “
The middle-aged man's self-talk activated the shopkeeper's restless heart.
"There are warehouses around there, how can there be these ancient coins?" The shopkeeper asked incredulously.
"Shopkeeper, I think it is entirely possible, there was originally a large family surnamed Wang in the Suzhou Creek area, I heard that the ancestors also entered Beijing to do the household Shangshu, the waist is wrapped in thousands of dollars, and it is not surprising that there are some ancient coins at home, I estimate that there is the location of the mansion of the big family surnamed Wang, before the big family built the house, they had to bury the treasure of the town house under the foundation, in order to seek the protection of the gods, the wind and rain are smooth, and the peace and security. Maybe you can really dig up a treasure nearby. “
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was so moved that he didn't bother to greet the customer, so he hurriedly went to the back room and whispered to the two guys.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, and then walked out of Shang Bao Zhai.
Half an hour later, the elder Koehler appeared in the wood processing plant.
"Boss, you're back." Qin Shouyi hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"What about the drama idiot and Ah Hui?" Ling Yunpeng asked as he took off the expensive suit on his body.
"They had just come back and bought a lot of firecrackers. Now in the back room! ”
Ling Yunpeng smiled and changed to a short fight, and tore off the mustache on his lips: "This drama idiot is not lively enough." I'm going to see them. ”
Ling Yunpeng came to the back room and saw Fu Xinghan and Ah Hui putting firecrackers, incense candles and other items into a cloth bag.
"Boss, you're back!" Ah Hui said hello to Ling Yunpeng.
"Boss, you really act like that." Fu Xinghan gave Ling Yunpeng a thumbs up.
Ling Yunpeng squeezed his eyes at Fu Xinghan and Ah Hui: "Idiot, my work is done, it's up to you next." “
"Don't worry, boss, I'll make sure that half the street will be dug for treasure." Fu Xinghan patted his chest, and then waved his hand to Ah Hui: "Let's go, Ah Hui, let's go to that clearing too." “
"I guess the shopkeeper and his guy are rushing to the open space behind the warehouse right now!" Ah Hui smiled happily.
Fu Xinghan and Ah Hui held shovels and pickaxes and the cloth bag and walked towards the open space behind Sasaki's warehouse.
