Chapter 155: Lao Liang is unreliable?
The journey was safe, and we returned home smoothly; However, it is not his own home, but the antique shop opened by Hu Laoqi in the town, because Hu Laoqi has something to tell us. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hu Guohua, who helped Hu Laoqi look after the store, had already driven to the station to pick us up, so we didn't need to worry about taking the bus.
"What's the matter, old man? It's so god-wrenching......"
As soon as he entered the back hall of the antique shop, Lin Zi put his ****** into Hu Laoqi's valuable leather sofa with a big grin, and then took the lead in asking questions.
"Oh, that's right! This time we may not be able to rest for too long, because according to Lao Liang, they have found another fire pit. ”
After Hu Laoqi finished saying this, he stopped saying nothing and turned his gaze to us, obviously asking for our opinions.
"Is this old Liang reliable?"
I was the first to ask, and I still feel scared when I think about the evil spirit on Lao Liang.
"Lao Liang...... It should be reliable! ”
Hu Laoqi touched the gold-wire glasses on his eyes, muttered for a few seconds, and then said such a sentence.
"Hey, old man, what should be considered reliable? I don't think this guy surnamed Liang is definitely not a good bird, since he has found Dadou, why not go by himself? This is obviously a cheat, a reliable yarn ......"
Lin Zi crackled and said, but it made Hu Laoqi, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, unable to hold his face, and then stretched out his hand to stop the momentum of his continued talk!
"That's right, I didn't know this old Liang ...... originally"
Hu Laoqi slowly poured himself a cup of tea, and then told us the story of his acquaintance with Lao Liang.
He said that a few years ago, he opened the antique shop when he was not in the business of tomb robbing; At that time, the antique market was good, and there were many people who came to the store to buy and sell things.
Generally, the people who come to the store to sell things are basically farmers from ten miles and eight villages, who dug up some broken jars and rotten bowls in their own fields, and they didn't know the goods and then ran to let Hu Laoqi see them; As for Hu Laoqi, it is natural for him to give full play to his ability to fool; If there is anything good, it is simply said that it is in tatters, and it is bought from these peasants at a proper price, and then it is sold by someone who knows how to do it; As for the bad things, he didn't even look at them, and he blasted people out with a scolding on his head and face, so he made a lot of black money in the past.
One day, two strangers came to the store, looking disgraced and seemingly having walked a long way. These two people are obviously not insiders, and they sneakily found Hu Laoqi, saying that they had a treasure for him to see. Although Hu Laoqi was disdainful of these two people, the baby still had to be seen, so he asked them to take out the things.
It's just that these two people seem to be afraid that their "baby" will be seen by others, and they grunt for a long time before letting one of them go to the door of the antique shop to sentry, while the other person groped inside the crotch!
"Touching your crotch?"
Hu Laoyi's face darkened suddenly, daring to love these two guys teasing him; The "baby" they call is actually the thing in the crotch. Hu Laoqi was just about to open his mouth and scold these two people and blast them out, but he saw that this foreigner really took out something wrapped in cloth from the crotch of his pants.
Hu Laoqi's eyes lit up all of a sudden, because although the cloth was shabby, Hu Laoqi's eyes were thieves, and when he saw the cloth, he knew that this was the brocade used by the ancient royal family; Just imagine, something that can be wrapped in silk brocade must not be bad.
Sure enough, after the stranger spread out the brocade, it was wrapped in a complete set of bronze carriage and horse harness, although it was rusty, but from Hu Laoqi's point of view, this set of bronze carriage and horse harness was definitely a good thing; In addition, the brocade was wrapped in a piece of bronze that was also rusty!
"Bronze stump?"
Hearing Hu Laoqi say this, I immediately concentrated; I don't know what the bronze stump is for, but I know it must not be mortal; It's a pity that the two bronze stumps I got were taken away by Apricot Blossom Eye, and I don't know where they went?
At the beginning, Hu Laoqi didn't think that this bronze stump would be a treasure, because it was mutilated; Those who know some antique knowledge must know that the difference between the price of a good antique and a broken antique is definitely more than 108,000 miles!
Therefore, Hu Laoqi did not pay too much attention to this rusty bronze stump; On the contrary, it was the bronze chariot harness that he focused on.
After carefully identifying the authenticity, Hu Laoqi did not ask where these two things came from; Instead, he happily gave these two strangers a very "suitable" price, five thousand!
The two outsiders seemed to know the source of some bronze chariots and horse harnesses, and they were not satisfied with the price given by Hu Laoqi, so they threw their hands and left.
Since the treasures have been placed on the table, how can they be easily let go; Hu Laoqi hurriedly used his thick-skinned skills to keep these two foreigners behind for a while, and finally accepted them at a price more than ten times higher. The two strangers got the price they wanted, so naturally they took the money and left, but they didn't know that this dead fat man was happy in his heart!
As for the bronze stump, Hu Laoqi originally didn't want it, but after the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the two foreigners, he was finally used as a foil and was casually thrown in a corner of the antique shop, and then gave the two outsiders dozens of yuan and sent away.
"Damn!"
Such a scene is so similar to me before, I instantly remembered the scene when I first came to Hu Laoqi's antique shop, isn't this how this fat man treats me? Speaking of this, Hu Laoqi also seemed to remember the incident that fooled me at the beginning, grinned at me awkwardly and continued.
Not long after, a tall man came to the shop; According to Hu Laoqi, he seemed to have come with a purpose, and after entering the door, he walked directly to the shelves where the "defective products" were stacked in the store and found the bronze stump, this person is Lao Liang!
Hu Laoqi originally thought that a big customer was coming, and he was about to get up to greet him; Who would have thought that this big customer would actually run to a pile of defective products to "Taobao". Hu Laoqi, who had seen the fork in the way, stared at Lao Liang with a little disdain, and then continued to sit on the Taishi chair and read the newspaper, ignoring Lao Liang, who was stopping in front of a pile of defective products.
"Boss, why isn't there a price tag for this thing?"
After watching it for a long time, Lao Liang finally took the bronze stump and asked Hu Laoqi, and Hu Laoqi didn't see any deep and shallow expressions on his face.
"Oh, most valuables can't be valued, that's why there's no price marked!"
Since someone bought this rag, Hu Laoqi naturally wouldn't let it go; I didn't see him think about it, and some foolish words came out of his mouth. Obviously, this old guy's kung fu has really been perfected and handy.
"Oh? So why doesn't this pile of stuff look so valuable? It's all defective......"
Hu Laoqi didn't expect that the big customer in front of him actually knew the goods, and he could recognize that the pile was a foil to other antiques in the store; Suddenly, I felt a diaphragm in my heart, and I sighed secretly and lifted a stone and hit my own foot.
"Uh, that's it...... You don't understand, you know, how can valuables be put on the table? ”
Sure enough, Hu Laoqi would not be so easily blocked by Lao Liang and speechless; The eyeballs under the gold-wire glasses grunted and came up with words to deal with it, and threw a "you know" look at Lao Liang by the way, as if what he said was really like that?
"I see...... The boss is really clever enough! ”
I don't know if the old beam holding the bronze stump is really stupid or fake? was successfully fooled by Hu Laoqi, and even gave a thumbs up to praise Hu Laoqi's cleverness.
In the end, Hu Laoqi sold this bronze stump to Lao Liang at a "sky-high price"; However, Lao Lianglin's words when he went out made Hu Laoqi "respond" again.
"Boss, help me keep an eye on the rest of this thing, and call me if I have any!"
Lao Liang threw down a business card and left, and Hu Laoqi suddenly woke up at this moment, this Lao Liang was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger at all, and the price of bronze stumps seemed to be far less cheap?
"Uh, Brother Zhang Tian, don't you look at me like that? I wanted you to keep the treasure for your own good......"
When I thought that this dead fat man was going to use twenty yuan to buy the bronze stump left by my grandfather, my heart was on fire, but I didn't expect that this dead fat man's cunning almost deceived me in the first place. It's just that I don't quite understand this, why didn't he keep me when he knew the value of the bronze stump?
For this problem, Hu Laoqi's explanation is very simple; Because I ran too fast when I received the call from Lin Zi to invite me to dinner, he didn't have time to keep me, so I lost such a large amount of business, and it is said that he regretted it for several days!
"Hahahaha...... Deserve! ”
After listening to Hu Laoqi's explanation, Lin Zi's stomach hurt from laughing, and he pointed at Hu Laoqi and shouted "deserve it". Hu Laoqi's face suddenly turned blue and red, and he was a little ashamed.
After that time, Hu Laoqi's antique shop seems to have become a place frequented by Lao Liang; Hu Laoqi said that Lao Liang was a very strange person, and every time he came, he would ask him about the whereabouts of the rest of the bronze stumps.
Of course, he also tried to ask Lao Liang, what is the use of asking for bronze stumps? But Lao Liang just perfunctory him every time with words like collecting hobbies. Over time, Hu Laoqi and Lao Liang began to get acquainted.
And Lao Liang provided him with information only after Hu Laoqi began to switch to tomb robbing; It is said that one day when he was introducing an antique to Lao Liang, he leaked his mouth and let Lao Liang notice it.
However, although he said that he leaked his mouth, Lao Liang did not say anything, but intentionally or unintentionally revealed the location of some big buckets to Hu Laoqi in the next few visits; Hu Laoqi didn't believe it at first, but later believed it after following Lao Liang's prompts and pouring a few big buckets. For a long time, although Hu Laoqi and Lao Liang have not broken each other's identities, they have reached a win-win cooperation.
