Chapter 41: The Soul Sucking Furnace

Soul Sucking Furnace?

I was stunned for a moment, I really don't know much about this, but I've really heard of this name.

When I came to Beijing, when I just mixed the antique market with the fat man, two people who didn't know anything were full of bags in the market, and when they were the poorest, the two people added up to less than 200 yuan, and they owed a lot of debts, and the landlord smashed the door and scolded the street, and the fat man and I begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother in it, just to make the rent pay late for a few days.

During that time, I and the fat man really thought about any tricks to make money, what kind of stalls, fortune telling, and even how to ask for food, but in the end I still felt too embarrassed to go.

That is, during that time, there was an old farmer in my store, who heard the accent from Henan, saying that he came to the capital to see his son, and he thought it was a minor illness, but it turned out to be cancer, and it cost a lot of money.

But his whole family can earn less than 30,000 yuan a year, so he scraped together, and the people who could borrow money borrowed it all over again, and finally there was really no way, so he could only take out the things at home and sell them, there were a few old things, I heard that there were many people playing antiques in the capital, so he dragged things back and forth in the Liulichang Pan Jiayuan, but his things were really worthless, and ordinary people couldn't look down on them.

I was also poor and crazy at that time, so I asked him to put things out and see, they were all a pile of broken copper and iron, although they were old things, but if they were sold again, they would make a few hundred dollars.

Originally, the fat man and I were going to use two hundred yuan to collect all his things, but the old man really looked at it more and more pitiful, and the fat man was soft-hearted, so he ran to the commissary at the door, asked the proprietress to borrow three thousand yuan, and gave a lot of delicious food on credit, and handed all the things to the old man, saying that there were only so many things we could get, so that he must hold on, and the cancer should be treated well, and he could still live for a long time.

The old man's touched snot and tears flowed down his face, and the fat man and I also cried, and the three of them cried for a long time, and sent the old man away, and the two of us looked at the broken copper and iron in one place and worried, this money was not earned, and we owed more than three thousand.

The fat man wiped his snot and said: "Lao Chen, this is his mother's life, just look at a bunch of things, if you can turn over, then turn over, if you can't turn over, it means that our brothers are not the material to do this business, just change careers!" ”

I was also forced to be forced at that time, so I had no choice but to agree to the fat man's words, and the two of them packed up for a long time and prepared to sell things.

And that soul-sucking furnace was in that pile of stuff at the time.

Of course, at that time, the fat man and I didn't know what it was, but we thought that the old peasant family was poor and even took out the winter stove to sell, and was ready to sell it as broken copper and iron to the ragged ones.

The things in our hands were sold for a long time before they were sold, and at that time, I saw for the first time the fat man's mouth was powerful, obviously it was a fake vase, and he was stunned to make up a poignant love story, and finally sold it for two or three thousand.

At that time, the fat man was already proficient in how to make up stories for antiques, and the stories were wonderful one by one, and I laughed at him and said that it was really a home delayed by antiques.

In the end, we sold everything except for the soul sucking furnace, and we made about 20,000 yuan before and after, and paid off the rent and debts a little, but it was far from the point where the salted fish turned over.

At that time, we only had the stove in our hands, and the fat man looked at the black stove and scratched his head and said, "Grass, how do you make this thing up?" ”

The fat man didn't come up with a good story if he wanted to break his head.,I can't say that this thing was the stove of the Guansun monkey back then.,It's really no trick.,We just thought about getting it to the tatters and selling it.。

It turned out that God let us continue to pour antiques, and during that time, a group of fortune tellers happened to come from Xiangxi, dressed like dogs, and told fortunes everywhere.

The fat man and I didn't believe in these things at that time, so we didn't have much contact with them, but we couldn't bear the group of people's "door-to-door service", and they all ran to the door of our shop to come in.

I wanted to casually say that I would sell, but the fat guy's head turned quickly, and he immediately said, "Don't sell it, don't sell it, don't sell it for any amount of money!" ”

As a result, the fortune teller still couldn't leave, and kept asking us how much it was, saying that he was willing to pay as much as he wanted.

When he said this, I really thought that the stove might be a good thing, but I was not sure, after all, in the antique business, this kind of thing is too common, in case we really don't sell it, the fortune teller won't accept it, won't it be smashed in our hands.

I thought about it and said: "In this way, you come back tomorrow, let's think about it, the main thing is that others have booked, the deposit has been paid, and we will transfer it to you, which is not very in line with the rules." ”

The fortune teller doesn't care what we do, let us keep it for him, and he will come early tomorrow morning.

After the man left, the fat man and I looked around the stove for a long time, and I didn't see what this thing was, the only difference from the ordinary stove was that the material was different, I don't know what it was made of, and the other thing was that the wall of the stove was carved with some very strange patterns, I don't know what it was.

The fat man and I were afraid that we were inexperienced and couldn't see what it was, so we found a few veterans to come and see it, but after they saw it, they all said that this thing was a stove for heating in the countryside in winter, and it was not an antique at all.

This embarrassed me and the fat man, after all, if we didn't know what it was, we wouldn't be able to make a casual offer.

I was worried all night, early the next morning, the fortune teller came again the day before, and brought an old man older than him, his beard and eyebrows were white, and when he arrived at the door, he was stunned when he saw the stove, and the fat man and I couldn't stop it, so I ran to the stove and touched it for a long time, saying what is true, what is true, and so on.

The fat man and I watched from the side, and when the old gentleman had touched enough, he stood up and said, "Two of you, do you want to sell this thing?" ”

I made an embarrassed expression and said, "Well, you are the third person to ask me this, and you have three people who asked us to keep this stove for him, you say, how is it good?" ”

Unexpectedly, the old man was happy, and directly stretched out five fingers and said, "500,000, sell me something!" ”

At that time, the fat man must have felt the same as me, what is the concept of 500,000?

Earning so much money in one transaction, the fat man and I have only heard of it in other people's businesses, and we have never made so much money at one time! I have been doing antiques for so long, and the money I make doesn't add up so much!

But when doing business, you must hide your thoughts, so the fat man immediately scratched his head and said: "Old man, I'm really embarrassed, the starting price of the other two is up to 700,000 yuan, and your price makes it difficult for me to do it." ”

In fact, the fat man is also a risky move, after all, we don't know the real price of this thing, what if people hear that it is so expensive, pat their butts and leave?

What we didn't expect was that the old man snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, a bunch of illiterate things!" I'll sell this thing for a million! ”

Now the fat man and I couldn't hide the joy in our hearts at all, almost without any hesitation, immediately signed the contract, transferred money, sent things, in less than two hours, the money arrived, and the stove was sent out!

The fat man and I were almost paralyzed in the chair after this ticket, not tired, but a little psychedelic, this kind of thing we never dared to think about before, but we really encountered it!

Later, we also inquired, that thing is the soul sucking furnace, but what it does, no one knows, only that it is related to some evil arts, and it is generally used in Xiangxi, and it is not easy to find the real one this year.

The fat man and I were very sorry not to go, after all, it was only how much money was bought in the gadgets, so I went all over the capital to find the old farmer, and when I finally found him, his son had died, and the fat man and I felt even more sorry for others, and gave him 300,000 yuan, and without saying much, we sent him back to his hometown in Henan.

"Two, please follow me upstairs."

The man who brought us in earlier interrupted my memories, and Li Yingxue and I stood up and followed him to the second floor.
