Chapter 48: Incense Shoes
Incense shoes (reproduction is strictly prohibited)
At night, the fat man counted the money one by one under the lamp, counting it over and over again, but he couldn't count it clearly, no wonder he was confused when I saw so much money for the first time.
The fat man simply didn't count, lit a cigarette and said to me while smoking: "Lao Hu, let me tell you what is good, you are smart for a lifetime, you are confused for a while, how can you say that this money is borrowed, but it's good, you have to repay the interest of the American Nizi, I think it's better for the two of us to withdraw, withdraw to the southern hometown, so that she will never be found, and she will die in a hurry." ”
I said: "You are too unproductive, what is this little money, in the future I will take you to pour out a few pieces of licensed goods, change them at will, and it will be enough to repay her money, what we lack now is this little capital, with money, we can not worry about what to eat tomorrow, and when we have funds, we can buy some good equipment, and now we will reopen the patch and open it again, prepare well, I must pour a big bucket." ”
The two of us combined, the ancient tombs hidden in the deep mountains and old forests are not so easy to find, and we are not sure when we can find them.
The fat man is a more business-minded person, he thinks that the big gold tooth is a good deal, and the antiques are definitely a profiteering industry, especially when sold to foreigners, but now the foreigners who often come to China are also very good at learning, and they are not easy to deceive, but as long as there are really good things, they are not worried about spending money.
The fat man said: "Lao Hu, how about we invest some money to open a store?" Collect some antiques to sell, maybe you can save the inverted bucket if you do it well, although the inverted bucket comes quickly, but it's really not easy to do. ”
I nodded and said, "This is a really good idea, fat man, your head is still very bright, now that we have funds, we can start small, and learn some antique appraisal knowledge by the way." ”
So I looked for a shop everywhere, there was never a suitable place, and then I thought about it and looked for a shop, first get something to set up a stall in Panjiayuan, the characteristics of Panjiayuan are miscellaneous, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, large and small, everything has it, but very valuable Ming ware is relatively rare, that is all traded in private, rarely put on the market for sale.
As soon as we were instructed by the big gold tooth, we collected small items such as pots and pots, old money, snuff bottles, and old pocket watches in the suburbs, and brought them back to buy them at the antique market.
Maybe I didn't do business in my life, my vision was not accurate, when I received things, I collected worthless things as treasures, and I received valuable things, and I couldn't see it accurately, when ordinary objects were sold, I didn't make much money, but I lost a lot.
However, when we received these gadgets, we didn't spend too much money, and it was nothing to lose some money, mainly to practice eyesight, grow some knowledge, and mix in Panjiayuan for a long time, only to know that there are too many things in this industry and too deep, even more complicated than feng shui, not something that can be learned overnight.
On this day, it was almost noon, the antique market seemed a little deserted, there were not too many people, and I ran fast with the fat man with the big gold tooth.
Just as we were fighting, suddenly a person came in front of us, standing in front of our stall and walking around, the fat man thought he was going to see something, so he asked, "What's the matter, this master, what do you see?" ”
The man stammered and said, "Don't even look, do you accept antiques?" ”
I looked up and saw that the man was thirty-six or seventeen years old, with purple-red skin, and at first glance he often worked on the farm under the sun, dressed rusticly, carrying a broken leather bag, and a loess high-slope accent.
I thought to myself what kind of antiques this person could have, and glanced at the big gold tooth, the big gold tooth is a connoisseur, although this fellow is not good-looking, the soil is scum, but he did not dare to underestimate him, so he made a look at me, signaled me to stabilize him, and asked to understand.
I took out a cigarette and handed it to the fellow, lit it for him, and invited him to sit down and talk.
The fellow obviously had never seen much of the world, and he didn't know much about socializing, so he sat on the horse that I handed him, clutching his broken leather bag tightly, and said nothing.
I looked at his broken leather bag, thinking that this guy can't be upside down, as if he had done something wrong, or that he had something valuable in this bag, I tried to keep my tone as calm as possible, and asked: "Brother, come on, you're welcome, smoke, this is Yunyan, what do you call it?" ”
The fellow said, "Call Li Chun." He may not be used to sitting in Maza, so he pushed Maza away and squatted on the ground, and as soon as he squatted, he seemed much more relaxed, and his smoking movements were also sharper.
The big gold tooth and the fat man pretended to continue to play cards, this line is like this, when talking can not be too many people, one is the rule, the other is afraid of scaring the patrons away, generally want to sell antiques, are more nervous, afraid of being targeted and robbed.
I smiled while smoking and asked, "It turns out that you are surnamed Li, seeing that you are older than me, I call you brother, Brother Chunlai, you just asked us if we accept antiques, what's the matter, do you have a weapon to sell?" ”
Li Chunlai was puzzled: "What is the Ming device? ”
When I saw that it was a cabbage, I asked him directly, "Is there something antique or something you want to sell?" Can you show me? ”
Li Chunlai looked left and right, and whispered, "Hungry and have a shoe, how much can you give?" ”
I was so angry when I heard it, your broken shoes still want to sell for money, I'm afraid no one wants to ask for his mother's money, not to mention it, I thought about it, it may not be so simple here, so I patiently asked: "What shoes?" Whose shoes? ”
Li Chunlai saw that I was more kind and bold, so he opened a thin slit in the leather bag and asked me to look inside.
Li Chunlai didn't wait for me to take a closer look, so he quickly pulled up the broken leather bag, as if I looked at it more, and the shoe flew away.
I said what about you, you take it out for me to see, I haven't seen it clearly, where did you get these shoes?
Li Chun said: "Boss, if you want to say a price, don't worry about anything else." ”
I said, "Brother Chunlai, you have to let me take it in my hand and take a look, how can I make a price if I don't see it clearly?" I lowered my voice again and said, "Are you afraid that this person will have too many eyes?" Why don't I invite you to go to the restaurant in front of you and eat the whole meatballs of mutton-stuffed dumplings, I often go to that dumpling restaurant to talk about business, very quiet, when the time comes, I think it's really a good thing, the price is good for us to discuss, do you think it's okay? ”
As soon as Li Chunlai heard about eating dumplings stuffed with mutton, he swallowed greedily: "It's very good, let's not bask in the sun anymore, what's the matter, let's talk about it after eating the dumplings in sour soup." ”
