Chapter 330, Thirty taels of silver scrap porcelain
Mrs. Chu stood in front of the car with a red face, you can be smart elsewhere, there are very few people who know this art of unveiling painting in modern times, and there is no history class. This time, Xiao Chu was convinced.
Chu Huaixian gave up riding a horse, sat in the car with Xiao Chu and continued to laugh at her: "You still dare to sell antiques here, you are lucky, and capable people are always around." So I asked you to stop doing this business for a year or two, and now you can only suffer losses. ”
The next day, the weather was sunny and crisp, and Mrs. Chu Shao came to the restaurant. Gong Miao'er and the steward of Zhuang were talking, pointing downward: "Yesterday's Qian Gongzi, I have to clean up the tree next to the pavilion, this tree can't be moved, and a small one is given to him." These are all trees that have grown for decades, and they are all there. ”
"These people just know how to learn, and when they see someone else's family, they follow suit. He came again yesterday afternoon, and said that he was a good treat in the afternoon. I said that it is okay for you to temporarily have a pavilion on the top, and it is okay to build a shelf below, and put some bamboo leaves and bamboo branches on it. ”
Steward Zhuang said that Xiao Chu almost didn't laugh next to him. The pavilion is like a cover, so that it can also come.
Hearing this laughter, Gong Miao'er seemed to have just seen Xiao Chu: "Aha, young lady." Young Mrs. Chu smiled and didn't smile: "Aha, the second shopkeeper." ”
"You're good, long time no see." Gong Miao'er continued to talk to Xiao Chu haha, and Xiao Chu continued to argue with him: "It's good for you, from yesterday to today, it's really been a long time." ”
Gong Miao'er saw that she couldn't dodge, so she crossed her waist and said, "What do you want?" Xiao Chu's brows didn't move: "In the future, we will collect ancient paintings, can you still reveal them?" "One becomes two, this person can figure it out, no wonder he is looking at the three words of the boring building, and he has to keep asking if there is any upper and lower money, and he dares to hang at home.
After he finished this work, he had already gone outside Beijing. At this moment, I may have crossed the Great Wall for hundreds of miles. Gong Miao'er was bitter: "I can't find him." ”
Xiao Chu snorted and sneered: "I'll just say a word, when I want this person, you have to find out for me." He turned around and said fiercely: "He's in the rat hole, you have to dig it out for me." ”
After saying that, Gong Miaoer shouted in the back: "Hey, how to dig a mouse hole?" Xiao Chu ignored him, went downstairs to the house to enjoy the shade.
After stopping for two days, Zheng Erguan still went to the boring building from home with his back in the morning, and was still muttering when he left the house: "It's still okay to eat at home and don't need money, what kind of building is really boring, it's so cooked, and I won't send a bowl of noodles." ”
For this miser, Wuqulou is even more conservative than him.
Zheng Erguan thought that his family's porcelain would be sold to the boring building for nothing, and Mrs. Chu Shao only wanted to help him sell things for nothing, so she had to spit out a few.
Slowly coming downstairs, Zheng Erguan still took a breath of enjoyment, and saw that there were already a lot of red leaves in the house, ready for autumn.
The new wooden building is lined with red leaves, and it looks very eye-catching. Zheng Erguan went upstairs with a clean staircase, and as before, he felt that this building and this house were very well built.
The first thing I do when I go upstairs is to count his antiques. One, two, three...... After counting, Zheng Erguan squinted his eyes and took a look. Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to something next to him.
This is a pot-bellied porcelain, the glaze on it is white with an indescribable color, anyway, it looks like there is any color, and if you look closely, it looks like there is none. It is a burnt out porcelain. Looking at the light, this color has been wasted.
There is a pothos planted on it, with palm-sized oily green leaves, which grows extremely vigorously.
The bottom is in the hands of the guy, and he is holding it upstairs and placing it.
Zheng Erguan's eyes were straight, and he followed this pothos. Seeing the guy holding it, watch out for a shelf that has sold out antiques. This shelf is empty, and Zheng Erguan is planning to see which one to make up for today is better. Anyway, it's sold here, and it's sold elsewhere.
The officials of the boring building accounted for half of the arrivals, and those who gave gifts just bought and gave them away. The fame is gradually going out, and those who love to collect will also run here. There are a few familiar faces who have been to the Zheng family's antique shop, and most of Zheng Erguan people know each other.
It's just that there is a bad one, talking about business here, it's too convenient to say that it's too convenient, although Zheng Erguan makes money, he often has to break the money to the point of pain.
At this time, the shelf where the pothos is placed is his shop in his eyes. That's it, the porcelain planted with pothos below made Zheng Erguan angry and angry. It's home! Definitely yes, definitely yes. Zheng Erguan can recognize it at a glance.
He knew that Mrs. Chu was accompanied by her nephew, and it took a day to go to the porcelain kiln to see. But I didn't think of it...... Zheng Erguan's stingy personality of protecting wealth came up again, and his hands began to tremble. I thought that Mrs. Chu Shao went to see the newly fired porcelain. There are a few things that Zheng Erguan is already optimistic about. I plan to talk to Mrs. Chu Shao, these items are high-quality products, and they are decent in any shop. It can be placed in the boring building, but only one percent of the money is drawn.
And now, he stared at the pot of pothos in exasperation, anger, and annoyance. The colors are quite well matched, with a vague color underneath and a vibrant pothos on top.
But this pot! It's the Zheng family. Zheng Erguan hated it: these burned porcelains were mostly damaged. I don't want Mrs. Chu to have this idea! You must know that when a flower pot is sold, it is also worth a few dollars of silver.
He is angry about money, and his mind only has the heart to earn it back. Zheng Erguan sat down calmly, planning to see how much this pot of pothos could be sold.
"Man, here's a bowl of shredded pork noodles." When Zheng Erguan shouted like this, the guy was startled. Cautiously come over and ask, "You didn't have breakfast this morning?" ”
Zheng Erguan's face was calm: "I ate it." The guy touched his ear: "Then you shouted it wrong, or I heard it wrong." But at this moment, there is only one guest upstairs, and it can't be me who called it myself. ”
"That's right, it's just a big bowl of shredded meat noodles, put a lot of shredded meat, otherwise you won't give money." Zheng Erguan was leisurely: "After breakfast, you can't eat again." ”
This bowl of noodles will hang under the tent of this flower pot for a while. Zheng Erguan's brain turned extremely fast, and his nephew, that fool, must have given this porcelain used as a flower pot to Mrs. Chu Shao. Having said that, let him give away the gold and white jade for nothing, and the nephew will also give it away for nothing. I'm afraid, and I'm worried that the young lady won't accept it.
As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Erguan planned to eat a big bowl of noodles with shredded meat here today. Because Mrs. Chu Shao is not good at talking, Zheng Erguan is really unconfident that he can ask for money. Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, eat some in the stomach first, and I won't pay the bill if she doesn't give money. I can't let myself spit it out anyway.
Having made up this mind, Zheng Erguan, who has not spent money here for a long time, will start to order the same thing today.
When the guy came down to say it, everyone downstairs was stunned. Steward Zhuang pointed upstairs: "He's sick today?" "On the opening day, I hung a small firecracker to give gifts and brought my sons to have a meal. Later, the sons didn't want to go, and privately gave another gift.
After Zheng Erguan came, he rushed home to eat at noon. Later, because there were many customers at noon, it was a good opportunity to sell things. Zheng Erguan complained to Steward Zhuang, he was not complaining about the high price of food, but complaining: "Your building is not good, it is too far away from my house." It made me eat and I was a little tired. ”
In order to solve this situation of eating and doing business at the same time, Zheng Yi specially asked his subordinates in his family to deliver a meal to the second official at noon every day, and this matter was resolved.
Now, Zheng Erguan ordered the same, and he couldn't help but be surprised in the boring building.
After the two officials ate the noodles, they sat in front of the pothos. He came early and there was no one yet, so he chose an angle early, so that he could take good care of his antiques, and it was also convenient to see the looks of the guests.
This antique business is also the first in Beijing.
By noon, there were more and more guests. The price of the boring building is not low, and it is a prerequisite for the guests to come first. Some people like to go to expensive places.
Although there are many customers, it is not crowded. Xiao Chu thought about it at first, but he refused to become a crowd in a small restaurant, and there were a few more tables downstairs, and some people could eat by the flowers in the garden. But upstairs there is a place where the wind and water are watching, and I refuse to put it more. So it's full, and it's only a few people.
Someone fell in love with the pothos, and shouted to the guy and asked him, "How much?" The guy carefully held it up and showed him, "This is our new thing, if you like it, please make a price." ”
said that he would make a price casually, and the guy kept talking: "Look at this thing, this glaze, it's not easy to burn." Whoever wants to burn it, he doesn't dare to boast that it will be done. ”
Zheng Erguan's face was shaking, this was burned, not deliberately burned, of course, no one dared to boast that it would definitely be burned. Listening to this well-spoken guy again, he continued: "In this way, you see, there are no ancients before, no one after you, and it is rare on the market." ”
Zheng Erguan was the only one who said that there were no ancients before and no one who came after, and he was filled with grief and indignation in his heart, and he didn't want to burn it like this at all!
This upstairs is full of rich people, let him pay in public, how can he be willing to pay less. But this is also cautious, weighing that this is not a boutique, but just to take a good look and put it on the desk interestingly. At the moment, he praised and said: "This kind of look, there is no other place." I'm trying to be funny, make a price, don't laugh at you if you say less, and reward you if you say more. ”
Guy: "You're a regular customer, just make a price." Business won't work, our friendship is still there. Zheng Erguan pricked up his ears, his eyes straight and motionless, waiting for him to come out.
The guest also smiled: "A plaything, I don't know if it will survive this season." But you don't have anything cheap upstairs, I'll pay thirty taels of silver, what do you think? ”
Thirty taels of silver and a piece of waste porcelain, Zheng Erguan immediately rushed to his face, and his face turned red. This thing seems to be thrown away in his own home, plus a green leaf dug up in a ravine for some unknown place, it can be sold for thirty taels.
This is all due to the fact that the boring building does not sell cheap things, nor does it sell bad things. It's just not good to put it here, and others still don't see it.
This credit is actually from Zheng Erguan. It was he who stayed here every day, so that he could sell things without having to pay for the shop. The credit he has accumulated day by day.
At this point, Xiao Chu didn't expect it at the beginning.
After the price was quoted, the man hesitated and smiled at the guest: "I will ask the steward of the village to go." When the steward heard the price, the people were immediately happy. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that according to what Mrs. Chu said, someone really paid for it.
He trotted up. Downstairs is full of smiles, upstairs is a serious face: "This price is not high, but this morning is the first time this business, you will come often in the future, we will have it." ”
Thirty taels of silver, a waste porcelain, and a pothos that is not a special deal.
Steward Zhuang came down, didn't need anyone else, ran back to invite Gong Miao'er, and panted out three fingers when he entered the door: "It's sold." Gong Miao'er stilted her legs under the tree to enjoy the shade, and smiled at the three fingers in a weird yin and yang manner: "Three taels of silver, well, it's not a loss." ”
The porcelain doesn't need money at all, the pothos grows under the tree, Gong Miao'er was going to throw it, but then I thought that Xiao Chu said that good looks are the most important, and prestige is secondary. And he stayed.
"Thirty taels!"
Steward Zhuang said this, and Gong Miao'er jumped up suddenly: "How much! Then he laughed: "Okay, this broken grass root is worth so much money, quickly, take out our good red leaves and good trees." ”
The two men shouted to the man and began to pack up.
Zheng Erguan, who was upstairs in the boring building, turned to contemplation at this time. These thirty taels of silver are calculated according to the previous one, and I still account for seventy percent.
