Chapter 6 Rich and Spiritual
Perhaps I was born with a keen sense of danger, and when I came back, I told the dwarf not to shout everywhere, and even if he cashed the money, he could not show it in the village, because it was illegal to dig up graves.
The next day, the dwarf and I rowed early to the village, and came to the antique shop, where the owner was still in the arms of his mother-in-law, and when he saw me coming, he didn't care about any decency, so he opened the door and invited us in.
He took out three silver ingots and threw them on the table, without saying a word, he took out six hundred-dollar bills and handed them to me, looking at my calm and relaxed appearance, he rubbed his hands and called my aunt to pour tea, and then asked me if I had anything else.
I know this very well, so I didn't rush to touch the small bottle, but asked the boss.
"Liu Quan's tomb is a well-dressed mound, and there are only four silver ingots in it for the coffin, could it be that he is not buried in our township?"
The boss glanced at the short man who was looking around, took a sip of tea, and said to me.
"Liu Quan was put in a coffin by Heshen's aunt and wife, and was thrown into the water to suffocate to death, then the capital is far away from our hometown, and it will not take a few months to go back and forth, and he offended people at that time, and it is not easy for future generations to build a well-dressed tomb for him, is it true that there are no good things?"
I touched the small bottle in my pocket, looked at the cunning boss, and then asked, "Is there a lot of people in our township who dig up their graves, and his graves have been dug up."
"It's not clear, but people often send something to exchange for money, on this road, you have to be careful, demons and monsters are easy to guard, people's hearts are difficult to prevent, don't let people look at it, out of this door, we don't know anyone"
After speaking, the boss took out another fifty bill, I looked at the tempting color on the banknote, grabbed it and smelled it, and then took out a small bottle and handed it to the boss.
His eyes lit up and he let out a sigh of exclamation, and then he put it down on the table.
"This is Emperor Qianlong's snuff bottle, which belongs to Sanqing porcelain, little brother might as well make a price"
When I heard it, I knew it was a good thing, but I still pretended not to understand, and after drinking a few sips of tea, he asked him to look at it, and he thought about it for a long time, stretched out two fingers, and asked me how I was.
Two hundred or two thousand, I don't know, I didn't expect him to speak first and say: "Give you 20,000, what do you think?"
I was taken aback, I didn't expect that this little snuffbox was worth 20,000 yuan, but looking at the boss's cunning eyes, I grabbed the snuffbox in my hand and said that it would not be sold.
"Don't mind, little brother, let's do it, 30,000, this is the highest price, I can collect the things in our township, it's useless if you don't sell them to me and keep them."
Thirty thousand?
I weighed it for a while, stuffed the bottle to the boss, and said to him with a smile: "Okay, it's 30,000, let's not talk about those useless things, if there are any good things in the future, don't lower the price"
"Happy!"
He drank the tea in one gulp, got up and went to the counter for a while, and handed it to me with three dozen hundred-yuan bills, and the dwarf and I glanced at each other, and after saying goodbye to the boss, I could no longer suppress the excitement in my heart, and said to the dwarf.
"Shorty, let's go, we have money today, go to the county and get some good clothes!"
Later, I saw the snuff box in the newspaper, saying that it was auctioned for nearly 200,000 yuan, but I didn't blame the boss, because all aspects of this business have to spend money, he does business to earn his, I pay for goods to earn mine, and the two have nothing to do with it.
The county was very prosperous, and I ordered a table of dishes with the dwarf for less than twenty yuan, and after eating and drinking enough, I bought a few pairs of jeans at the market, and it cost less than two hundred yuan, and the dwarf had to go back with a whole motorcycle.
Actually, I really wanted to get the whole one, but considering that the money was not glamorous, and it was easy to get into trouble if it was too ostentatious, I had to refuse bitterly.
But when I passed by the shampoo shop, the short man looked at the girl inside, and I smiled and said, "Don't look at it, let's go, let's go cut our hair and wash our bad luck."
Of course, I really wanted to cut my hair, but the girls were so bad at it that it made my hair so ugly that if it weren't for her chest against my back, I guess I would have been angry.
The dwarf was pulled inside by a scantily clad girl, but as soon as he got in, the dwarf rushed out, and said angrily.
"Brother Shan, damn it, the people in the city are shameless, take off Lao Tzu's pants when you go in, stop playing, and go home."
I looked at a few girls sitting together in surprise, and then I knew that they were selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and they had come to the wrong place to enter the kiln, so I dropped ten yuan, and pulled the dwarf away, and the dwarf was angry, and after running out, he did not forget to turn around and spit at the door, and a girl came out of it and pointed at us and scolded.
"Two hillbillies, I don't have money to pretend to be an uncle, just ten yuan, not enough for my mother to buy a pair of underwear"
The dwarf was so angry that he had to rush up to teach her a lesson, so I hurriedly dragged the dwarf and stopped him and said, "Don't make trouble, what is our money in the city, wait for the two brothers to do a big deal, and then turn around and make these girls look good."
The dwarf took a few sips, and then we were no longer interested in shopping, so we got on the bus and went home, and by the time we got home, it was dark.
I thought that there was nothing wrong anyway, so I might as well go to the big head's house and knock on the door of Uncle Zhang's shop, and Zhang Fang sat on the rattan chair with his legs crossed, listening to the radio, and looked at me and the dwarf in surprise.
"You two stinky boys, you don't sleep so late, what do you want to buy?"
I glanced at Zhang Fang, and saw that the clothes on her chest were not buttoned properly, so I was so frightened that I hurriedly turned my face away, pointed to the row of cigarettes and alcohol, and said: "Uncle, a few days ago, I caught a few Wang Ba, sold it for some money, and I was thinking about going to the big head's house to see his Lao Tzu, so let's take a big front door, a bottle of two pots, and a pack of orchid beans!" ”
Uncle Zhang is a powerful person, and he didn't ask much when he saw that he had money to make, so he drove me and the dwarf out after collecting the money, and the dwarf still wanted to see Zhang Fang more, so I dragged him out, and after Uncle Zhang closed the door, I smiled and said to him.
"Don't worry, you like to see, I'll let her show you willingly, let's go, let's go to Datou's house for one night"
The dwarf laughed happily, took the cigarette for me, the big man's house was not far from the shop, and he arrived in a few minutes, and after knocking on the door, he saw Widow Zhang sitting in it, and we were taken aback, and we were about to go back, but I didn't want the widow to stop us and say.
"You two little bastards are here, come in and I'll take a look, see what you're bringing"
When she saw what we were holding, she was a little disappointed, and walked out of her mouth.
"I'll go to my house tomorrow to have a look, my aunt is going to tell you two about a mother-in-law recently"
I ignored her, and the big man came into the house and brought a big bowl of melon seeds, and scolded me and the dwarf when he looked at the cigarettes and alcohol on the table.
"What are you two doing, it's okay to know, but those who don't know think I'm taking bribes, it's not cheap, I have to get more than a dozen yuan, where did you get the money, are you breaking the law and discipline?"
The big man is worthy of being the village chief, the momentum is very bluffing, the short man immediately panicked, I secretly kicked him, hurriedly picked up the boiling water bottle to pour water for the village chief, and said with a smile.
"Uncle, don't be sarcastic about the two of us, break the law and discipline, even if you don't dare to borrow my guts, don't you catch the two big kings and send them to the township, sell them for a good price, thinking that the big head is not at home, and you always take care of the two of us, so I came to take a look"
The village chief smiled, stretched out his hand to open the big front door, threw a bag to me and the dwarf, and said with melon seeds.
"You two are not too young, our village has a short lifespan, if you have money, you can find a mother-in-law, don't do it again in the future, this man can't do anything without smoking, you two also learn"
I took apart the cigarette and took a puff and was choked and coughed violently, which made the village chief laugh more than once, and the short man on the side was also a few sips, and I knew that he was happy to be home now.
"I tell you, in our village, don't hide anyone you two see, I'll be your master, as long as you can take out twenty yuan, whoever doesn't marry me will let the police station arrest you."
The village chief has always been like this, and the dwarf and I didn't care, but there was a word of idle talk with him, and after a bowl of melon seeds was eaten, he frowned and said to me.
"Tomorrow there will be a meeting in the township, and the county will send people to the village to study the water quality, you two are idle anyway, tomorrow you will take them around the village for me, eat in Lao Zhang's shop at noon, and hang the village account."
I was a little frightened, afraid that it would be difficult to take on a big responsibility, and I didn't dare to agree to him, but I didn't know what he said next, so I had another understanding of being an official from now on.
"It's all idle and have nothing to do, come down to eat and brag, you two don't have to be nervous, if something goes wrong, I have me, I can't figure it out and the township chief, I guess I will come back the year after tomorrow, and you will be smart when you are young, maybe you can be a cadre in the future."
After saying that, the village chief got up and went back to the house to sleep, I had no interest in accompanying the county people to visit the village, but the dwarf was full of eagerness, I knew that he wanted to see Zhang Fang, so I told him the plan.
In the end, I picked a set of tricks from "Ten Thousand Laws Return to Tibet", and when I revealed it, the dwarf knew that what I said was true.
"You still have this ability, change money empty-handed, teach me quickly, when I learn, Zhang Fang's father is not yet the god of wealth"
This technique is not difficult, but it takes some time to learn and understand it thoroughly, and I saw that it took me to get Zhang Fang to handle the process, so I taught him the method without concealment.
I chatted with the dwarf for a long time that night, but I didn't know that a few people who came tomorrow almost didn't send me and the dwarf to the police station, but fortunately, Widow Zhang appeared in time, although she didn't have a good way to solve the problem, but after all, she still sent away a few plague gods.
In the early morning, the weather was as good as ever, and the dwarf and I were still dreaming of spring in the bed, not wanting Widow Zhang to come suddenly.
"Why are you two little bastards so lazy, hurry up, the people in the county are almost here"
She pushed open the door, and didn't care if we were wearing clothes or not, she reached out and uncovered the quilt, the short man may have missed Zhang Fang at night, looking at this embarrassing scene, she crossed her waist and said with a smile.
"The little bastard has grown up and knows that he misses a woman"
