Chapter 20: Old Tan
With a wave of his hand, Mrs. Feng gave me an ancient painting very heroically, and she didn't even give me a reason, just to stuff it for me, and I had to be anxious if I didn't accept it, which can be called rich and capricious. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After I accepted the ancient painting in a daze, the old lady seemed to have lost her enthusiasm all of a sudden, and she didn't even bother to deal with us, so she casually ordered Feng Yuxiang to let Feng Zongwen help herself out.
In the end, it was Feng Yuxiang who coughed lightly and pulled our attention back.
said that the reward is not a lot at all, but I can see that Feng Yuxiang also doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in his father's gourd, but this has nothing to do with us, just collect the money, the rights and wrongs of these wealthy families are better to be less involved. I don't want to know too much about the cause of my death!
I took a taxi from the second ring road with the ancient painting and the strong son, and along the way I asked them what to do with the painting.
Qiangzi licked his lips and said, "In the end, it is an ancient painting, even if it is an author who is not famous, but it is worth 350,000 yuan if it is sold well, right?" ”
"Cousin, since it was given to you, there should be no problem with it! I'm also in favor of selling him! Dashan also raised his hand in approval.
Frankly speaking, although I think that it seems that there are some things that people should do when they give you something to sell it, but I can't stand the two of them instigating it like this, plus Qiangzi desperately pulled me to say that I was just going to estimate the price. I followed him to a shop he knew.
But this diversion, I suddenly found that something was wrong, this road doesn't seem to be going to Liulichang Antique Street?
When he asked Qiangzi, he smiled and said: "Estimate, you must not go to those antique shops, that is a place where you eat people and don't spit out bones, Brother Qiang has a better place, and the boss there is also familiar, so I am sure that he will not fool us." ”
Seeing that he was sure, we didn't ask and let him lead the way.
Led by Hadron, we came to an alley. Then he stopped in front of an extremely old grocery store.
"Groceries, the name is really straightforward." Dashan looked at the sign of the grocery store, "I can't count how many kinds of goods there are just by looking at it, but are you looking for a ghost to help you open in this place?" ”
"Old Tan! Old Tan! We're coming out to pick up customers! ”
Qiangzi yelled as soon as he entered the door, and of course, no one in this place would come to sue him for disturbing the people.
"! Where did this old ghost die? Qiangzi leaned against an object covered with a black cloth next to him with some unhappiness, "I should usually stay in the store......
Qiangzi was scolding, suddenly his feet slipped, and he grabbed things in a hurry, and directly ripped off the black cloth that was covered, and the two of us hurriedly went up to help him up.
"I'll go! What the hell! ”
I looked closely, and there was a coffin under the black cloth! There is still a coffin in the grocery store? That's too broad, isn't it?
The three of us looked at each other, and in the end, it was the mountain that was the most courageous, stepped forward and knocked on the coffin, and then came close to listen.
Bang!
The lid of the coffin suddenly popped up, startling the three of us.
"Corpse!"
I don't know who suddenly screamed, but the three of us screamed, turned around and ran.
Burst! Hahahahaha!
The strange screams were followed by strange laughter, and we stopped to look, and inside the inner door behind us, a slender figure pushed open the curtain and walked out.
"Old Tan, my **** grandfather!" As soon as he saw this person, Qiangzi immediately became angry, and casually smashed a loaf of bread beside him.
Tall and thin, with a slight horse face, his appearance cannot be said to be ugly, but it is definitely below the level. With unkempt middle hair and a look of forty or fifty years old, this man in a Tang costume is the owner of a department store, and Qiangzi can value ancient paintings.
"You also said that you came out of Longhu Mountain, Xu Wenqiang, you have simply lost the face of your ancestor Zhang Daoling!"
Lao Tan dodged the bread thrown by the strong son and sneered: "I think except for the kung fu of escaping, you are all rubbish!" ”
Qiangzi ignored Lao Tan's ridicule and introduced us: "This is Lao Tan, the boss here, don't look at others with ugly mouths and lack of morality, but he is indeed a capable person." You can find him if you want to get any black goods, and he has a lot of eyes and ears, so it's not wrong to find him if you want to find out any news, but the price is usually expensive. ”
I see that Lao Tan's introduction to Qiangzi is all accepted except for a little self-restraint, and there is even a feeling that Qiangzi has said too little, and he has not said all his glorious and tall image.
"Don't talk about it, if you come to see something, you can give me an estimate!"
Qiangzi beckoned me to show the painting to Lao Tan.
Lao Tan didn't push back, turned on the light, took the tools and began to look at them.
After a while, I saw Lao Tan frowning and raising his head, and said, "Xu Wenqiang, are you kidding me?" Show me this garbage! How many cents is this thing worth? Auction houses have to lose fees! ”
No way?
Hearing Lao Tan's words, I was immediately surprised, a person like Old Man Feng with a big family and a big career would not make such a joke on us...... Right?
"No wonder the old man is so happy, it turns out that he is rubbish!" Qiangzi was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he was about to tear off the ancient painting as soon as he moved his hands.
I hurriedly stopped him, in the end, it was also sent by someone, if it was worthless, we would tear it up, and it was we who were ashamed!
Seeing that I insisted, Qiangzi had no choice but to give up, and instead pulled Lao Tan aside to whisper.
I put the picture up and put it away, and I saw that Qiangzi and Dashan were already fighting with Lao Tan. I don't know what they're talking about, but the hadron is occasionally louder, and I hear it a little, and next time there will be a receipt......
While chatting, Qiangzi pulled me over and said, "This is what I told you just now, I met Brother Sven in Yunnan, and the two of us have a fateful friendship." Let's have a good chat. ”
I reached out and shook his hand, then exchanged a few polite words.
"Lao Tan here also has a business of receiving goods in addition to appraisal, if you have something good to sell, you can come to him, the price is fair." Hadron introduced me.
I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, took out the book I had always carried, handed it to Lao Tan and asked if you could help me read it?
Lao Tan flipped through the book under the light, and then immersed himself in it without a sound. But he turned the pages very slowly, especially in the second half of the content that I couldn't understand, and it took him two or three hours to turn two pages. In the end, Qiangzi was a little impatient, and knocked on the table again and again, telling him not to look at it anymore, and Lao Tan came back to his senses.
"Nine million!"
Old Tan said after letting out a sigh.
"What?"
This is brainless, I don't know what Lao Tan means by this, and I immediately looked at him suspiciously.
"I said, if you want to make a move, I'll take this book for nine million!"
Hiss!
Hadron and Daisen gasped and looked at me in surprise.
In fact, I was also shocked, the book found in this ancestral hall turned out to be ...... So valuable!
Qiangzi asked, "Old Tan, what is the origin of this book?" ”
Lao Tan didn't answer, but looked at me with a smile and said, "How? Think about it, if you don't make a move, then I will charge one percent of the appraisal fee as usual, which is 90,000 yuan! ”
Dashan was furious, "! This will cost 90,000 yuan as soon as you get started, why don't you grab it! ”
Lao Tan handed me back the book, with a unique smile on his face, and said: "Tong Suo is not deceived, and his words are not worth it!" ”
I put the book away and said, "Okay! Ninety thousand is ninety-thousand! I'll give! Not now, though! I'll wait until the next time I come! ”
"It's okay, I'll wait for you!" Lao Tan put his hands on his chest, leaned on the edge of the coffin, and said with a smile: "Remembering the family...... Hehe, I didn't expect to meet the person who remembered the family again, and the surname was Dongfang. ”
Lao Tan looked at me and said meaningfully: "The last time I saw me, I was about the same age as you, and I looked similar, what is it called, I remember it seems to be called, Yihui!" Yes, that's the name! That is, Dongfang Hui"
When I heard the name, I chuckled in my heart.
Yihui! My Dad! Lao Tan and my dad know each other?
"You know my dad?"
Old Tan laughed and said, "It turned out to be your father, no wonder I think you are familiar?" O son of the deceased, thy father...... Probably passed away, right? ”
Does he know about the Thirty Limit?
Seeing Lao Tan's eyes, I nodded and said no more, and they thought I was sentimental, and they comforted me with kind words.
After leaving, I looked back and took a deep look.
Mysterious groceries, mysterious old Tan, I don't know what the relationship between him and my father is, listening to his tone, he seems to be very familiar with my father, and even knows the things of the thirty limits, so how much does he know?
I asked Qiangzi who this old Tan was. He said that he didn't know, and everyone didn't know what Lao Tan's origin was, but the people on the rivers and lakes more or less sold him a little face. And Lao Tan is usually low-key and rarely nosy, everyone knows that there is such a person, but if you want to check his details, you don't know where to start, and over time, no one will check.
"It's okay, it's not easy for you to find him again. However, he has to go out to collect the goods today, and it is estimated that he will not be back until next month. You're going to have to wait until next month to find him. ”
"Cousin, I think you'd better put away your books, we didn't know it was worth so much before, but now someone knows that you have books worth nine million, I'm afraid that they will secretly make some small moves."
Dashan reminded me that the husband is not guilty of his crimes, and Lao Tan is mysterious, if he is behind his back, we really don't know where to find him. Even Hadron was a little worried, saying that he wanted to find a safe place to hide the book.
I decided to memorize the book as soon as I got back, and it was best to memorize it backwards, so that even if it was stolen, at least it wouldn't be too bad. However, when the three of us returned to the rented room, we were all stunned by what we saw.
