Volume 2: Dragon Teng Xijing Chapter 249: Shopping
Lu Yao didn't explain anything, after all, there are some things that others will believe if you don't explain them, and he also knows that Huang Ruoyun has more or less meaning to himself, if he explains to everyone that he and Huang Ruoyun are not boyfriend and girlfriend, it may hurt Huang Ruoyun's heart, he doesn't want to do it.
The meditation class talks about nothing more than ideological and moral things, Lu Yao doesn't like to listen to it or hate to listen to it, his godfather told him a lot of things from childhood to adulthood, and Lu Yiqian also set an example for Lu Yao with his own practical actions, Lu Yao also has a deep understanding of this aspect, seeing the old at the age of three, Lu Yao has been influenced and educated since he was a child to tell him what kind of person he should be.
The schedule of each class in college is also completely different from that of junior high school, which is generally a 45-minute class, but a class in college is generally 100 minutes, divided into two sub-sections, each of which is also 45 minutes, with a 10-minute break in between.
Lu Yao can now achieve the level of dual-mindedness, he listened to the teacher's gushing and colorful lectures, while planning the next things in his heart, as for Zuo Xiaoyun letting him go to the office to find her, he still thinks that he will wait until tomorrow, and it is not too early to leave school today, and he also knows Zuo Xiaoyun's course arrangement, although he did not substitute for them this year, but she has no class this afternoon, and the university teacher can arrange it by himself if he does not have a class, Some teachers can even go outside the school to give a lecture or something else to make extra money, especially those teachers in the School of Economics, who are consultants or lawyers for certain companies.
Before leaving Xinjiang, he made a move to deter Lei Runtang, and he was very weak at this time, if it weren't for the qualitative leap in his immortal qi attribute after absorbing some of the aura in the Qiankun Yuxiu diagram, he probably wouldn't have had this previous conversation with Lu Yao, but Lijiang also told Lu Yao that he still needs to recover for a period of time after all, and all Lu Yao has to do during this time is to collect the three attributes of Jinmu Huo to slowly absorb them and transform them into his own immortal attributes, and wait until he has enough accumulation to make a breakthrough.
After thinking about it again and again, Lu Yao felt that it was better to go to the antique street, after all, there are still some treasures there, and his copper ring is the best proof, some things look inconspicuous, but if he is put in the right place, wait until the right time, meet the right person, he still has his own value after all, people often say that existence is reasonable, not casually.
After class, I really planned to invite Lu Yao and the other two roommates to go to the restaurant together, they had been waiting for Lu Yao to come back and have a meal together, but Lu Yao still politely refused because of the time, he needed to go to the antique street to buy some treasures before it was dark and close the stall, and try to practice at night.
After leaving school, Lu Yao took a taxi and went directly to the antique street, although he had been here once, but Lu Yao's memory was very good, and he looked at it as a simple walk, but he still remembered a lot of shops very clearly, in his memory, there was an antique shop called Wuhuhui at the southwest entrance of the antique street.
The reason why this antique shop impressed Lu Yao is because of its decoration style and its owner, many stores on the antique street are decorated in a very antique style, and the store will more or less always use a few "old experts" who look gray and wear reading glasses, which is more professional, but this Wuhuhui store has taken a completely different route from everyone.
The whole store is not big, that is, more than twenty square meters, although the decoration is not very simple, but it is only so improvised, simply painted a white wall, the display cabinet is also from the thrift market, and the age of this boss is not much older than Lu Yao, it is estimated that it is twenty-four or five.
Twenty-four or five-year-old people should be vigorous and neatly dressed, but this boss is also very sloppy, a set of some years of tunics, there are a few eye-catching patches on the cuffs, the hair is very long, all tied with a strip of green cloth behind the head, and there is a goatee under the chin.
With such a decoration and such a raunchy young boss, there are naturally not many customers in the store, and the entire store is also the most inconspicuous one in the antique street, but Lu Yao just remembered it.
Through a previous conversation, Lu Yao learned that the owner of this shop is called Gu Fu, at first glance it sounds a bit like the name of the great poet Du Fu, this shop was built when the antique street was originally built when their family was compensated for demolition, although the store is not big, but in this inch of land is expensive If you shout a voice to sell, it is estimated that there are still people willing to pay a million price to buy.
The Gufu family chose to open a shop here is not a whim impulse, but the craftsmanship left by the ancestors, Xijing City as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties of ancient China, the cultural heritage can be seen, even if you casually find a local to come out and chat a few words, he can give you some celebrity classics that are not, will only appear in the wild history and folk about the strange anecdotes about antiques.
Seven days a week, Wuhuhui only opens on Thursday, and the rest of the time is the iron general guarding the gate, and no one is allowed to enter, because Gu Fu wants to go to the countryside with his father to Taobao shellfish, in their opinion, Thursday is an unlucky day, everything is not appropriate, should not go out to Taobao, so this day is set as the day to open the door, they will buy back within a week of treasures have been put on the old shelves for sale.
This is also the reason why Lu Yao chose to come here before dark today, the last time Lu Yao saw two good things here, he came for these two things this time.
The first one is a clay pot that looks tattered and worthless, it even looks a little ugly from the outside, the mouth of the jar is not large, it can only allow an adult wrist to enter it, and there is no seal at the bottom of the jar, and there is even a crack that looks very eye-catching, if it wasn't for the casual words he said before leaving Xinjiang, Lu Yao would not have noticed this clay pot at all.
The reason why I didn't buy it at that time was because Lijiang just mentioned it, and didn't say that this clay pot was beneficial to Lu Yao's cultivation, but now the situation is different, and the sentence that seemed to be unintentional reminded Lu Yao that this thing still seems to be somewhat useful.
The second piece is a wooden product that is many times better looking than the clay pot, Gu Fu told Lu Yao that this is the base of an ornamental utensil in the Tang Dynasty, which he took back cheaply from an old farmer in the suburbs of Xijing, because there is no ornament on it, this base is not worth much, and it is usually placed in the old farmer's house to put an ashtray and other daily utensils.
Lu Yao didn't hang out after getting out of the car, and came directly to the gate of Wuhuhui, where he saw Gu Fu wiping the treasures in his mind on the old shelves one by one, and wiped them carefully and seriously one by one.
"Brother Gu, are you busy?" After Lu Yao entered the door, he saw that Gu Fu didn't notice him, so he greeted him with a smile.
"Yo, Xiao Lu is here, I said, I can't come here for half a month in Wuhuhui, why did someone come today, it turned out to be you, what do you want to see today?" Although Gu Fu and Lu Yao are not very familiar with each other, they can be regarded as good-tempered through the last conversation, and greeted them very warmly.
"I just happened to be passing by, come in and take a look, has Big Brother Gu found any good treasures recently?" Lu Yao asked casually, he didn't want to mention those two things as soon as he entered the door, lest the other party feel that he had to buy them.
"What good treasures can I find, you also know that all the money from the demolition of the family has been invested in this store, and there is no money to buy those valuable things, so I can only rely on the little skills passed down from my ancestors, with a little eyesight, to see a few gadgets that are not before, and try my luck to see if there is a big man who is willing to spend money to buy my things, just eat with my mouth." Gu Fu seemed very casual when he said this, and he didn't mean to try his luck as he said.
"Can I just take a look?" Lu Yao looked at the time, and saw that it was about to close the door, although it was not good to go straight to the topic, but it was still possible to save the country with a curve, so he said with a smile.
"Look, look, just be careful not to break it." After Gu Fu said a word, he began to continue to busy his own affairs.
Lu Yao first started to look at some things that looked more valuable on the old shelves, and slowly looked at them one by one from expensive to cheap, until he picked up the wooden product, and then asked lightly: "Brother Gu, how much is this thing, I want to buy it back and put a clay sculpture, I think the color and size of this thing just match my clay sculpture?" ”
"Hey, which one did I do at the time, that one was not worth much, if you want it, you can just give it to you for 500 yuan, and it was about the same price when I bought it at that time." After Gu Fu glanced at the woodwork that Lu Yao picked up, he said casually with a smile.
"Okay, I'll ask for this thing, I'll see if there's anything else." Lu Yao put the wooden product on the counter, and then slowly looked towards the clay pot.
Although this clay pot is not very good-looking, but the last time Lu Yao remembered that Gu Fu told him that it cost some money when he collected this thing at that time, if it wasn't for his father, Uncle Gu, who insisted on buying it, he wouldn't have spent so much money to buy it back, so this thing may not be so easy to get.
Lu Yao picked up the clay pot, carefully felt the breath in it, and then looked at the crack at the bottom, and said to Gu Fu: "Brother Gu, there is such a big crack under this clay pot, and you don't repair it, how can such a thing be sold for a good price?" ”
"What to repair, this thing is a broken thing, it is better to spend money to repair him than to spend money to replace my containers, besides, antiques and antiques pay attention to an ancient word, how can modern people have the craftsmanship of ancient people, ordinary people have become worse after repairing, the master repair should be too high, the head is bigger than the body, what to repair?" Gu Fu glanced at the clay pot in Lu Yao's hand, and there was a hint of complaint in his tone when he spoke.
"That's it!" Lu Yao pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "In this case, sell this thing to me together, I'll take it back to practice, I like to tinker with these things on weekdays, but I don't have a master to teach me, it's all my own messing, this thing is not worth much, so I'll buy it back and practice." ”
"You use this to practice?" Gu Fu asked in surprise after hearing Lu Yao's words.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yao asked suspiciously.
"This thing is worthless, and the selling price is 1,000 and 5, isn't it too much for you to practice with 1,005, I remember you were still a student." Only then did Gu Fu say what he meant.
"Cheap things always can't be mentally motivated when practicing, this thing is more than a thousand yuan, but it is a lot of money for me, only with it to practice I can be more attentive, besides, do not have to pay some tuition!" Lu Yao replied with a smile.
"Forget it, I really don't understand the thoughts of this young man now, but if you have to buy it, then I'll sell it to you, the wood products just now plus this clay pot are a total of two thousand, you are a student, I will give you a discount, two thousand nine, if you want it, give it to you!" Gu Fu said with an old-fashioned look, in fact, he forgot that he was also a young man.
"Then thank you Brother Gu, it's not too early, you guys are about to get off work, I paid the money and took the things and went back first, and I'll come back when I have time later." Lu Yao saw that what he wanted had already arrived, and it was indeed not too early to look at the sky again, and said.
Things went relatively smoothly, and it cost a lot less than I expected before, and it was worth it, so I paid for my things, said hello and left.
