021 Door-to-door trading
Four years later, night.
A street in a ghost market, antique shops.
If you walk in, the first thing that catches your eye is a two-meter-high Ming-style screen, with heavy traditional black and red lacquer, and lifelike carved dragons and phoenixes.
On both sides of the wall, there are mahogany shelves with ceramic antiques of various forms and sizes. There is a mound of stone tools in the center, filled with clear water, a blooming white lotus on the surface of the water, and a red and black goldfish swim below, hearing the footsteps, they will dive into the water, and when the 'limelight' comes, they will quietly come up and snoop.
At this time, I was sitting in front of the desk, holding an antique bronze mirror in my hand. In the room without the lights on, the bronze mirror reflected a strange luster, and it trembled violently.
I dipped my fingers in cinnabar, and drew a pardon on the bronze mirror. The bronze mirror trembled, and a faint puff of black smoke came out, and a hideous grimace loomed, faded into nothingness, and slowly inhaled into my nose.
Then my body changed visibly, the long sharp nails retreated, the slightly sharp fangs in the mouth returned to their original shape, the pale face also had a hint of blood, and the goldfish in the stone tank seemed to have retracted because of this strange scene.
Five years ago, I was bitten by Cai Mingdao, so much so that I became a half-human, half-corpse monster like him.
At that time, the Yin Yang Fish Ancient Jade had been destroyed, and I couldn't do anything about reversing Yang Shou with this. It was a time of despair, and then I learned the Taoist art in the ancient books, collecting antiques with evil qi as an antique dealer, and absorbing the yin qi above to suppress the corpse poison in my body.
In the past few years, although there is no great wealth and wealth, it can be regarded as a slight accumulation. Everyone in the industry knows that there is a young man who runs an antique shop in the ghost market, specializing in antiques with bad luck. But it's hard to come by, so I do some normal antique business.
The evil spirit on the bronze mirror has been dispelled by me, I wiped it with oxalic acid briefly, and I will decorate it a little more tomorrow and sell it as an ordinary antique.
After doing this, I fed some more fish feed. Looking at them, I thought of the Yin Yang Fish Ancient Jade, and then remembered the previous events, and I was distracted for a long time.
"Brother Ming, why have you made a fortune recently? Ming-style screens are placed at the door! β
Behind the screen, a tall and thin middle-aged man came out, and before I saw him, I heard his voice, and when I saw the man's dazzling white whistle teeth, I knew that the person who came was Whistle Tooth Li.
There is a kind of person in the antique shop, who does not open a store, but goes to the countryside to receive goods, and then sells them to various shops and collectors.
Whistle Tooth Li did this, this person is very slippery, but his eyes are vicious, when I first started doing it, I was also cheated by him once, and I knew that it was a bureau set up by him and the seller when I got it.
In the industry, even if you "hit the eye", if you buy a fake, you can only knock out your front teeth and choke in your stomach, and you think you are unlucky, as a tuition fee. So I can only take it as a trench, grow wise, and stay away from this person.
This guy came to the door, and there must be nothing good about it.
I put down the fish feed and sat back on the rattan chair, "Less garlic, others don't know that you don't know yet." It's a modern imitation, I use it to fill the faΓ§ade, if there was really a Ming-style screen, I would have sent it a long time ago. β
Whistle Li rubbed his hands and sat down, gave me a Marlboro, and said with a smile: "Brother Ming, there is a single business today, and if you want to do it, you will really make it!" β
"Don't, you didn't fool me enough last time, do you want to pit again?"
"Don't worry about the past, people, always look forward. Brother has now found a seller, he has a Ming Dynasty lacquer case to sell, if I hadn't spent all the money during this time of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, I wouldn't want to cheap you. β
My eyes lit up, the lacquer case is relatively old, because it is lacquer, it is difficult to preserve it in ancient conditions, so it is very valuable.
Since ancient times, there is a saying that "three years will not be opened, and three years will be opened", speaking of which, I have not had any money in the account for a long time, so I couldn't help but soft and hard bubbles, so I agreed to go with him to see the goods first.
The seller lives in a house in the suburbs and looks like a simple uncle. As soon as they met, they shook hands with me warmly, and beckoned me into the house, claiming that it was something handed down from my ancestors, because it was going to move to the city, and it was not easy to carry it, so he wanted to go out.
After some politeness, I stood a few meters away from the lacquer case, and from a distance it looked like that, antique.
The owner is not without pride, "Well, it's genuine." Mr. Lu, you make a price, and if it is appropriate, I will let you. β
I laughed and said, "Don't look at it, the case is new." β
Whistle Li hurriedly said: "You haven't even seen it closely, how do you know it's new." β
"You don't have to look at me to know that this thing is old, you can see for yourself, the case is crawling with flies, a black layer."
The owner came up to drive away the flies, and said with a dry smile: "I'm in the suburbs, and there is a pigsty next to it, so there are more flies." β
"But the problem is that the flies are lying on this case."
Whistle Li walked to the front of the case, and his saliva sprayed: "How can it be fake, look at this bag of pulp, this broken line is so beautiful!" "After a while, the flies all fell on it.
"Give me back the load, I ask you, how to make the lacquer?"
Whistle Tooth Li was suddenly dumbfounded, gave me a thumbs up and said, "Shibei should be impressed for three days, I haven't seen you for a few years, your eyesight can catch up with your grandfather!" β
"Don't pat me on the back, take a trip for nothing, you have to pay for your fare." I don't have a good airway. This guy really doesn't change, if it's something else or a little worse in his eyes, maybe he will be pitted.
Whistle Li smiled: "That's not seen, this deal is gone, there is a bigger deal." If it weren't for the loss of this deal, you wouldn't have received the next deal. β
"Incoherent." I flicked my finger on his nose.
"Mr. Lu, good eyesight, but I don't know how you see it, I'd like to hear about it."
At this moment, a burst of fragrance hit the nose, and a woman slowly walked in.
The host stepped aside and respectfully called 'Miss Zhu'. Whistle Li also nodded, looking flattering.
I then looked at the woman, and saw that she was wearing a simple pencil skirt with lotus lotus purple open arms and low cuts, and her delicate and convex figure made her look capable, and at the same time she had the elegance and sexiness of a woman. Her long black hair hanging down her shoulders and knee-tight skirt perfectly show off her fair calf line, paired with a pair of black high-heeled leather shoes.
Standing in front of me at this time made me a little stunned.
Miss Zhu covered her mouth and chuckled, her teeth slightly exposed: "Mr. Lu? I'm asking you. β
