Chapter 14: The Mustache

To say this Fang Ding, animal face milk nail pattern Fang Ding, Si Mu Wu Fang Ding, He Da Fang Ding, these representative Fang Ding has very important archaeological value, I don't know what Fang Ding in my hands is, but from the casting process, it is also a precious item, although it is not priceless, and I don't want to take the priceless treasure to make trouble in the city.

I spent a few days wandering around the antique street, and found that all the things on the stalls were worthless things, a few strings of copper coins from the Qing Dynasty, a few broken jars, large objects were basically fakes, and there were a few rusty swords, and I found that one of the swords looked very much like the one I had used in the ruins that night, and I squatted on the ground and looked at the sword with interest.

The stall owner is a middle-aged thin man with a mustache, two thin slit eyes, and red cheeks, which look like the result of years of exposure to the sun. He was wearing a vintage short-sleeved shirt with slender finger joints, and when he showed me a pottery fake, I made a point of observing his palm.

Every day, I would pass by the stall with the mustache, and I would stay with him for a while, and sometimes I would see that the things on his ground had increased by one or two, but it was nothing more than one or two copper plates, three or five silver dollars, and even if these were not counted as before, basically the buyers would come to patronize the beard not long after it was put out.

Two weeks later, I and I have become familiar with the mustache. There are very few people on the antique street, and when the mustache is fine, he lies on the rocking chair and dozes off, and his rocking chair is placed under a six-year-ring tree, and when the wind blows, one or two leaves fall on his stall.

When he dozes off, his lips are half-closed, and sometimes he snores!

I squatted in front of the stall and chatted with him, and the mustache picked up a copper coin and flicked it into the air, and the copper coin rolled in the air a few times before falling into his palm, and he said: See? This is a coin from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, do you want it? Give you a discount, a discount, ten yuan to take, make a shuttlecock for your girlfriend, this thing is the best choice to make shuttlecock, you think, use antiques during the Qing Dynasty to make a kicking thing, this is not an ordinary, how about it?

I shook my head and picked up a broken jar.

Bazihu hurriedly stretched out an arm and said: Oh, you can be careful, this jar is not an ordinary jar, this is the treasure of my town stall, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, you can't afford to lose it, and I still rely on him to make a fortune this year.

Is it? Before I finished speaking, I threw the jar to the mustache, I threw it off, the mustache reached out and didn't pick it up, the jar fell to the ground and fell to a pulp, the mustache saw that the jar was broken, and picked up a pile of broken tiles with a sad face: My grandfather! A few days ago, a buyer who knew the goods ordered you, saying that he would come and take you away in the next few days, and now ...... Right now...... This...... That's called how good I am! You guy is crazy, what are you going to do with me?

I sneered, picked up a tile from the ground, held it up, and said, "Hehe, the date of manufacture is April 4, 2000." Do you want to fool me? Don't think I don't know what this jar is for, most of this jar is used to burn the dead coins, put a clay pot or jar in front of the coffin, and burn the dead coins in it, the people are particular about it, this kind of thing should be fired on April 4 every year.

Bazi Hu Hehe laughed dryly, pulled the tile with his foot, and lay on the rocking chair and whispered: Be careful to be heard by others.

I said, "Most of your stuff is fake, but where did the rest really come from?"

Bazihu said with his eyes half-open: Folk Tao.

I sneered: You deceived me when I was young, and I had a rare thing to sell to you, so forget it.

I finished speaking and got up to leave.

Bazi Hu grabbed me and said: No, no, it's really a folk Tao, dissatisfied with you and you said, these things are worthless, where can I come from if I am not a private Taoist?

I sat down on the little stool, and since the mustache is so cunning, I'm going to turn over his bottom today: you're just a little grave robber!

Shocked when he heard the words, he almost came to cover my mouth: How do you kid know.

He began to look at me again, and apparently surprised him by the fact that I was much smaller than him.

I patted off a small insect on my arm and said: You often have dark circles under your eyes, which proves that you often stay up late, your fingers are slender but rough, your knuckles are large, your palms are calloused, and your toenails often have a lot of mud in them, which proves that you work a lot, but you have no field to work on, your labor must be related to the soil, you keep a stall here during the day, so what do you do with all that dirt at night? And in three or five days, there will be a few more burial goods with dirt on your stall, and you say, you are not a tomb robber, what are you?

After listening to my words, Bazihu looked around, gave me a look and said: You have such good insight at a young age, could it be that you are lurking here to arrest me?

I shook my head and said, "No, I want to make a deal with you!"

This kid often mixes in antique shops and tomb robberies, and the first thing he will definitely think is that I have taken heirloom treasures to sell. He squinted his eyes and said, "You have a baby?" Or rather, you ...... Could it be that you have found some ancient tombs?

I said: You can't afford my things, what I need you to do is to find a big buyer, we will meet at one o'clock at noon tomorrow, and after the matter is completed, I will give you one-tenth of the benefit fee, how about it?

He twisted his beard and thought for a moment, then took two steps forward with his back to me and then stepped back and said, "Okay, I know a few great writers." They're all strong in this collection, but you've got to show me your treasure first, or how can I tell the buyer.

I clapped my hands and said, "This is your business, and it is not for nothing to give you one-tenth of the benefit."

Bazi Hu smiled and said: You are not very old and quite sophisticated, Cheng, this matter is on me, it's just ......

He still had a lot of doubts about what I was saying.

"You don't have to doubt it, it's definitely a good thing, and the benefit of keeping it for you will be much more than what you would get for digging an ordinary grave for a year."

"Good! Good! I'm going to get you a big buyer tomorrow. ”

I left the stall of the mustache, turned around on the antique street again, and then returned to the place where I lived, the second dog was washing clothes, the kid's jeans were washed through two big holes but still spreading, the school leaders intercepted him at the school gate several times and said that he was disheveled, and the second dog said to the school leaders that the life at home was too hard and I hope the school will sponsor a few silver. The school leader gave him a roll of the eye and said that the poverty subsidy should also be given according to the situation, and only those with good academic performance and poor families can get the subsidy. It's not good for a prodigal person like Gou Er to learn love and want the school to give him a subsidy, it's just a pipe dream.

"Have you eaten?" I kicked open a box on the ground and asked Dog Er, the weather outside is so good, this grandson can't wash clothes outside, but he wants to wash at home, and the range of action is large, and the ground is full of water. The house that I rented with my second dog belonged to a southern part of the landlord's house, and it was dark and damp most of the time, and it was just late spring and early summer, and the weather was not so hot.

Gou Er twisted his pants and said, "No, this is not waiting for you, where have you been this morning?" I didn't see anyone for a long time, and I thought you had met a steel needle and started to do it. ”

I lay on the bed, leaning back on the quilt, standing at the mustache for so long that I needed to stretch.

"Oh, by the way, Sang Yu came here in the morning, and when I saw that you weren't there, I left again."

I closed my eyes and said, "Well, you wash quickly, we'll go to Sangyu for dinner when we're done, and you will go out with me tomorrow." ”

"Where?"

"Mouthy!"
