Chapter 0316 - Buying and Returning the Pearl
Xu Shu smiled lightly, this is probably the way of the liar, the first step to find the object and expose the utensils, and then trick him into going to a remote place to take a slow look, and then he bought it inexplicably, and when he went home, he saw that it was a modern handicraft, and the dead heart would sprout.
"Brother, forget it!" Xu Hong glanced at the old man, not only was the old man's clothes tattered, but even his face was full of dirt, like a begging for food, how could a person like this have something genuine, it was estimated that it was a handicraft picked up there, and then sold it everywhere as a treasure.
Xu Shu also looked at the old man's face, he couldn't see the expression on the dirty face, but those eyes couldn't be covered with dirt, and what Xu Shu saw in the old man's eyes was sincerity.
"And where do you say you're going?" Xu Shu asked tentatively, and it depended on how the old man replied.
"If you don't find a store, we'll go to the store and look at it, and by the way, let the knowledgeable estimate be made." The old man snorted and threw this choice to Xu Shu, so that Xu Shu felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Xu Shu didn't know anyone on this street, and the old man may not know him, but the choice was given to Xu Shu, which means that the old man of the store Xu Shu was looking for may not know him, and he can't wait for Xu Shu to enter in advance.
It seems that there is nothing wrong, Xu Shu also responded, one is to see things, and the other is to see the legendary scam.
Xu Shu looked at the snakeskin bag in the old man's arms, looking very honest, Xu Shu looked into the depths of the street, and then nodded.
"Okay, let's see." Nodding.
"Brother-" Xu Hong wanted to stop Xu Shu.
Xu Shu smiled at Xu Hong, nodded, and hinted that there was no need to worry, even if it was a scam, he couldn't deceive himself by anything, no matter how he dressed, his words and deeds, Xu Shu didn't look like a rich man, and he wouldn't look for a low-key person like him.
"Then follow me." After Xu Shu finished speaking to the old man, he turned around and walked forward.
Walked directly to the end of the street, in front of the shop of the middle-aged man wearing glasses, raised his hand and pointed to the old man and said, "That's it!" ”
Seeing Xu Shu turn around, he must have seen something in his store, and the middle-aged man became more enthusiastic, and it happened that there were no customers in the store at this time, so he greeted Xu Shu and smiled: "Boss, take a fancy to that." ”
The boss looked at a person following behind him, who was dirty and messy, and immediately covered his nose and was about to drive away: "Who are you, go out." ”
"Slow, boss, this is what I brought." Xu Shu stopped him, and the old man followed awkwardly, and Xu Shu said to the boss again, "The things in the store are too vulgar, I have taken a fancy to one, but I don't know if it is feasible, so I came back to borrow the boss's eyes to see." ”
Hearing this, the boss was a shrewd person, and immediately understood that the thing was probably on the old man, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the snakeskin bag that the old man was holding in his arms, and then looked at Xu Shu with a strange look.
Xu Shu understands that this boss probably suspects that he is a liar, even if he is not, those people will have to charge, after all, they don't know each other, and there is no reason to help in vain.
Moreover, there will be times when you make mistakes when you help others, and the trouble caused by this will not be small.
"This, I'm sorry, I don't do this kind of thing to anyone, please go back!" The boss refused, and it was risky.
Xu Shu smiled and said, "Boss, it's okay, you can take a look, just talk about your opinion, if you think it can be estimated, it's the best." ”
The boss still shook his head, but he didn't refuse with words, Xu Shu knew that it was more likely, so he said: "In this way, boss, this favor is not for nothing." ”
Xu Shu said, took out the money, as much as 20,000.
The boss saw the money, and then looked at the store, there were no customers at all, and he was idle, so he stared at the money in Xu Shu's hand and said, "Okay!" ”
The old man cautiously put the snakeskin bag on the counter like holding a national treasure, and then carefully opened the snakeskin bag, and a bronze tripod appeared in everyone's sight.
The owner of the glasses suddenly lit up his eyes, and when he looked closer, the light was not good, and he turned on a flashlight and took a magnifying glass.
Xu Shu looked at the ding, the size of about twenty centimeters, three legs and ears, well preserved, but patina grew in many places, Xu Shu's nose came closer and smelled, there was actually a trace of earthy smell.
Xu Shu did not express his opinion and quietly waited for the boss's conclusion.
The boss looked at it, picked up the tripod, obviously had some weight, and pressed his hand, so he looked into the tripod, and there were actually a few bronze fragments in it.
The boss put down the tripod and took out the fragments in the tripod, a total of three, one is rust-free, but there is no trace of ornamentation, and the other two pieces have a little rust and some ornamentation.
The ornamentation on the bronze fragment is only a small part, and it is impossible to tell what it is for a while, but it feels ancient.
Of course, the ornamentation that can appear on the bronzes is very old and abstract, excluding some imaginary artefacts.
The bronze tripod is plain, with no ornamentation and no inscription, and it is consistent inside and out.
After reading it, the boss straightened up and looked at Xu Shu, then looked at the old man next to Xu Shu, and asked the old man, "Where did the thing come from?" ”
"Whatever, I brought it, can't I pick it up?" The old man disdains the boss's questions.
The boss laughed and said to the old man: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just want to know, is there any such thing?" ”
"No, that's all!" The old man replied.
It must be like this, otherwise it would not have been possible to take out the three bronze fragments together and call them for purchase.
"How much do you want?" The boss didn't care about so many rules, and asked the old man directly.
The old man looked at the bronze ware on the counter and said to Xu Shu: "The bronze fragments are sold for 100,000 yuan, and the bronze tripod is given away." ”
"What?" Xu Shu was surprised, could it be that he had heard it wrong, and asked rhetorically.
The old man repeated: "100,000 bronze fragments, bronze tripod for free." ”
"Make no mistake." The glasses boss was also surprised, this is the realistic version of buying and returning the pearls, putting the cart before the horse.
Xu Shu pondered, feeling that the old man was weird, if this was not a game, then there must be another meaning in it, so he picked up the three bronze fragments and looked at them carefully.
The unornamented and non-patinated fragments are the same as the bronze tripods, and the information carried by the two fragments with ornamented patina is not known for the time being.
"So be it!" The boss saw that the old man insisted that the bronze tripod be sold for 100,000 yuan, and the fragments were given away for free, so he started the idea of the bronze tripod and said to the old man, "If this young man doesn't want it, I want it, but it's not a fragment, I want the bronze tripod, 50,000." ”
Xu Shu smiled, this seemed to be a play, and he didn't talk for a while, to see how they sang it.
The old man shook his head decisively: "No! ”
The old man is very resolute, so that the boss is quite helpless, this kind of shop, is to make money, good utensils are easy to sell after they are in hand, but the fragments are not valuable for archaeological research is not the space for collection appreciation, you have to smash your hands when you buy it, it is not cost-effective, and it is obvious that you will lose money.
