Chapter 178: Death Collector

After returning to Beijing, I went our separate ways with Shirley Yang, she was responsible for finding equipment to scan and peel off the head of Xianwang, and the work of decomposing the sixteen jade rings naturally fell on my head, but this matter seemed simple, but in fact, there was no place to start, within one or two days, Shirley Yang's side should have results, and I wanted to work hard without a direction, so I had to sit and wait for her news all day.

On this day, I was sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, and the big gold tooth came to me in a hurry, and when I entered the door and saw that I was alone, he asked me where the fat man went? I said that he polished his shoes early this morning, maybe he went to dance, this time is not right, how can you have time to come? Isn't Panjiayuan's business done?

The big golden tooth said, "Master Hu, isn't this trying to discuss this matter with you?" As soon as the market opened early this morning, more than 100 thunderbolts and more than 200 industrialists and industrialists came, all of whom were in uniform anyway, and they copied everything they saw, and the brothers had to withdraw to the mountains to fight guerrillas. ”

I wondered, "What's going on?" Aren't you all in the joints up and down? ”

The big golden tooth said: "Sensei, there are more and more foreigners who come to buy things these days, Hu Ye, you also know that how many genuine goods are there for those of us?" A certain influential international friend asked our buddy to be a foreign village to give him a broken jar, saying that he had pickled the royal pickles for Qianlong in the palace back then, and after he went back, he was identified, and it was not like that, which seriously hurt the friendly feelings of this famous international friend to us. As a result, it's going to be big, isn't this ......"

I said to the big golden tooth: "It's really not a long-term solution for us to operate there without a license, so it's better to find a good location to set up a shop, so as not to be scared all day long." ”

Da Jinya said: "Panjiayuan jungle stalls, mainly because of the large amount of information, provides a big platform for buyers and sellers, no one points to the money that can be made in the market, it is all underwater, and the undercurrent is surging." ”

I asked again what happened to the blind man with the big gold tooth? Why haven't you seen him since you came back? The big gold tooth said that the blind man was no ordinary cow now. Claiming to be the ancestor of Chen, he has a tits to pick him up when he goes out, and he specializes in fortune-telling and touching the bones for those Hong Kong passengers, pointing out the maze or something, and those Hong Kong slaves are really fucking believers.

Before I knew it, it was nearly noon, and I was discussing where to go to eat, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and I thought that it might be Shirley Yang who had returned, so I got up and went over. When he opened the courtyard door, he was a stranger, who came with oily hair and powdered face, and his tone was extremely polite, claiming to be Dongzi, saying that he was looking for Mr. Wang Kaixuan.

I said, aren't you just looking for that fat man? I'm not at home, let's come back at night, I said that the door was about to close, but Dongzi said that it was okay to find Mr. Hu Bayi, I don't know what the person meant. So they invited him into the courtyard first.

Dongzi said that he was entrusted by his boss to ask us to come and talk about the antique business. I haven't been in the mood for business lately, but as soon as the big gold tooth heard that the customer came to the door, he babbled me to go over and talk about it, and I saw that the big gold tooth happened to have a few things with him, and he had nothing to do anyway, so I promised Dongzi to go with him and meet his boss.

Dongzi drove the car and drove us over, and I couldn't help but feel a little strange in my heart. How did his boss know about our address? However, when I asked Dongzi who the boss was, he didn't say anything, I thought to myself, it must have been the fat man outside. It's okay to talk about it in the past, maybe you can tie some money.

Dongzi drove us to a quiet courtyard in front of the courtyard, I looked at this yard with the big gold tooth, and immediately envied, this house is really exquisite, go to the house, see a lot of antique toys on the sandalwood shelf, I and the big gold tooth are also considered to know the goods, look around, you know that the owner of this is not trivial, the things are all real things.

Dongzi invited us to sit down, and he went to the back to ask his boss to come out, and as soon as I saw Dongzi go out, he said to the big golden tooth: "Master Jin, have you seen it?" Falang Hibiscus Pheasant Jade Pot Spring Bottle, Gold Purple Sand Square Pot, Doucai Gaoshi Ring, these are all treasures, just take them out and throw them at Panjiayuan, they can shock a large piece, compared with the things in this house, a few things we brought, really have no face to take out. ”

The big gold tooth nodded and said: "Yes, what kind of boss is this, seeing that this style is not an ordinary person, why do you want to do business with us?" People will definitely look down on our little things. ”

I suddenly found something very special in the house, and I hurriedly said to the big gold tooth, "Do you think there is something wrong with the magnet in the middle?" ”

The big gold tooth stood up from the chair, walked to the front of the porcelain and looked at it, it was a fat porcelain cat, the two cat's eyes were round and open, bright and bright, but it didn't look like a famous kiln, the workmanship was also mediocre, it didn't seem to fit the style of the house, the most conspicuous thing about the porcelain cat was its whiskers, I don't know why, this porcelain cat actually had thirteen whiskers, and it could be plugged and pulled, the finest part of the workmanship was concentrated here, the big gold tooth suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to me:" This is the kind offered at home with the corpse, the thirteen-bearded magnetic cat. ”

In the mountainous areas of Xiangxi and other places, since ancient times, there are two kinds of livelihood of driving corpses and carrying corpses, among which "carrying corpses" is similar to the work of robbing tombs, the people who carry the corpses will be offered such a magnetic cat, before each hook, they must burn a pillar of incense, and the thirteen whiskers flower magnetic cats, kowtow a few heads, if during this period, the whiskers of the magnetic cats or broken, it is absolutely impossible to go out at night, which is a sign of disaster. It is said that there are ten thousand attempts and ten thousand spirits, and it is said that it is miraculous among the people, and now no one is doing the work of carrying the corpse, and we have seen this kind of thing once in the Fanjiayuan antique market.

In the Beijing-Tianjin region, from the beginning of the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are also people from the outer nine lines to worship magnetic cats, those thieves have magnetic cats at home, but those are all nine whiskers, the style is not the same, "thirteen whiskers" only in Xiangxi corpse carrying people in the house, where does this custom come from, to this day, it is impossible to verify.

As soon as I saw this "Thirteen Whiskers", I immediately thought: "The master here, probably his ancestor is a giant thief in Xiangxi, who specializes in carrying corpses and turning over kilns, otherwise how could he be so generous." There was a sound of footsteps, and I hurriedly glanced at the great gold tooth, and sat still as if I had seen nothing.

The boss who invited us to talk about business turned out to be a Hong Kong man, in his early fifties, short and fat, who called himself Uncle Ming.

I racked my brains and didn't remember what business I had done with him before, but later Uncle Ming said it, and I realized that the first "dry yellow and yellow" business between me and the fat man was done with a young woman surnamed Han who opened an antique shop in Tianjin, and she was Uncle Ming's mistress.

I don't understand why he found me again, maybe there is something wrong here, it's better to make less trouble, let him finish reading a few things with the big gold tooth belt as soon as possible, and then go half of the road to the sky, so he said to Uncle Ming: "Old man, I don't know that you are so elevated us, you have taken us all the way, we really don't have any good things on hand recently, so I just brought a few random things, if you can see it, you can keep it to play." After saying that, let the big gold tooth take out a few gadgets and let him catch his eyes.

Seeing that he was a Hong Kong farmer, the big gold tooth knew that there was an opportunity to make money, so he immediately smiled all over his face, took out a porcelain bottle from his bag, and held it carefully with both hands: "You look at it, this is the real thing of the Longquan kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty." ”

When Uncle Ming heard this, he was also taken aback: "Is there a mistake, it's a national treasure-level thing, you just casually put it in this bag?" ”

The big golden tooth knows that the more he is in front of the great connoisseurs, the more he has to say big things, but if you say it as if it is true, if you tell him, he will believe your words, and he begins to doubt his own eyesight, the big golden tooth said to Uncle Ming: "You don't know yet, do you? You see that I have a gold tooth, our ancestors are the four wolf masters of the Great Jin Kingdom, and I am the eighteenth generation grandson of his old man's authentic family, which was captured by our ancestors from the hands of Emperor Daojun of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the bottom of the box has been pressed in Heilongjiang for many years, doesn't this make me tumble out......"

Uncle Ming was not fooled, ignored the big gold tooth, and told me: "Brother Hu, do you have any real good things?" If you don't lack money, I can exchange things with you, and you like that antique in my house, so you can take it. ”

I thought to myself that he clearly had something to say, and it was a good idea to invite us to come, but the things I brought back from Yunnan were of great use, that is, to give me a mountain of gold, and I couldn't make a move, so I didn't hide it, so I made it clear and told Uncle Ming directly, our best thing is this Longquan kiln, although it is imitation, but it can still be passable, if you want it, you will want it, if you don't want it, we will take it back, and then you will regret it, we can't control it.

Uncle Ming smiled, picked up a photo album on the coffee table, and said that he invited me to look at his collection in Hong Kong, I turned a few pages, and the more I looked at it, the more strange it became, but I already knew in my heart that Uncle Ming from Hong Kong wanted to buy a bronze mirror that could calm the corpse, it must be that the fat man was talking outside, and the news somehow spread to Uncle Ming's ears, he thought that the ancient mirror was still in our hands, and I didn't know that it was actually gone before it was hot in my hands, I asked Uncle Ming: "What are you doing collecting so many ancient dried corpses?" ”
