Chapter 129: Antiques, Cultural Market
The next day, he sent Mu Siju back to the hospital to change his dressing, and then went directly to the cultural market with Lao Hei.
The cultural market of Guide Province is an antique market, 99% of which are fakes, that is, a pit of outsiders, and locals usually come here to buy some fake antiques when they buy decorations at home.
If you speak Mandarin, these black-hearted traders can trap you, if you bargain in dialects, tens of thousands of things, dozens of dollars can be taken away,
Lao Hei is a frequent visitor here, because he always likes to pour some ancient coins, gossip plates or something,
We first poured out the treasures in the box in the car, thirty gold bars, all printed with the ancestral seal, I don't know what it means, seventeen strings of jade pendants, eight pieces of tiger charm jade pendants, four gold thread carvings, one jade tortoise shell, more than twenty blood-red bracelets, twenty or thirty jade ornaments, and dozens of jade wrenches, rings or something, the most valuable should be a piece of pure white white jade, the center of the jade is a red bloodshot, surrounded by eight lifelike dragon reliefs, and the rest are small fragments, It doesn't seem to be worth much, but it's also antique, it seems that my ancestors still have a vision, and there is not a single bronze.
I wasted half a day with Lao Hei, and finally classified these things into several piles, Lao Hei's saliva was about to flow out, and he took away a big wrench of white jade, and wanted to keep it for himself, just as we were happily admiring the loot, An Shangwu suddenly called me.
Lao Hei stopped me embarrassedly: "A few days ago, Shang Wu looked for you every day, because you were in a coma, I was afraid that he would worry, so I said that you were sent out by the company to study, and he called you almost every day, wait a minute, don't say that I fooled him, otherwise he will beat me." β
I smiled, said it was okay, connected the phone, there was a big scolding inside, I threw the phone on the seat, and continued to rummage through these antiques, for a while, I felt that An Shangwu should be scolded, and picked it up again: "Okay, I know it's wrong, I will definitely say hello to you in advance next time I go out." β
An Shangwu on the other side was almost deflated: "You bear child, you don't know how to save people's snacks." β
"Am I not busy? Do you know potential stocks? The company values me so much, do you think I can do a good job? "In fact, Lao Hei and I went to the construction site early in the morning to fire the boss, the boss's face was green, and we asked us to do it until he found a new technician on the grounds of withholding last month's salary, but who cares about that little money, and directly refused to drive away.
"You remember the time, on November 7th, let's set off in Dunhuang, don't look for you again when the time comes!" An Shangwu roared angrily.
"Okay, okay, okay, don't worry."
"Also, take that fool with you, or it will be too lonely on the road."
An Shangwu's voice was so loud that Lao Hei heard it, and shouted on the side: "An Shangwu, General Ben wants to duel with you!" β
An Shangwu also ignored him: "Speaking of death, when the time comes, I will take Dandan, just the four of us in a car, and the space is spacious." β
"I might have to take one more person, five of us in a car." I thought about it, it might be better to bring Mu Si inning, although we have fought together, but after all, there is less contact, and I hope this trip can improve somewhat.
An Shangwu suddenly guessed who I was going to bring: "You mean Mu Siji?" β
"Uh-huh, don't forget, he's my personal bodyguard."
An Shangwu was a little unhappy, but he didn't refuse: "Okay, you can do it yourself, remember the time, November 7th, if you dare to release my pigeon, you don't want to see me again in the future!" β
"Am I that kind of person? Rest assured, it's all right! β
"Okay, I still have something to do, so I decided so happily."
Hung up the phone and continued to pour our loot, everything was cleaned up, and then I took the piece of pure white jade into the cultural market, Lao Hei wore a big wrench, and Zhang Wuming's pure gold bracelet on his hand, no matter how he looked like a nouveau riche.
After looking for several stores, I found a very high-end faΓ§ade, and there was a woman in her forties standing at the counter. As he spoke, he deliberately gave his thumb up again.
The woman glared at him and shouted to the inner room inside the counter, "Boss, there is a guest." β
After a while, an old man with a purple clay pot and wearing red antique half-sleeves walked out of the back room coquettishly, looking at the two of us while smacking the spout of the teapot.
I didn't have anything, his eyes swept over Lao Hei's body, and he smiled at us: "Two, what are you going to buy?" β
The old black toe was arrogant, and once again raised his thumb with a wrench: "How can you get into the eyes of our boss with the things of this small shop, today I will bring a baby to let you open your eyes, and by the way, give a price." β
The old man frowned, staring at the jade wrench on Lao Hei's hand without blinking: "This little brother, the wrench on his hand is in good condition." β
"Meaningless, this is the secondary." Lao Hei said, took out the jade from my pocket and put it on the table: "Look at this." β
The old man took a sip of the teapot, looked at it, and suddenly put down the teapot, took out a pair of glasses from the counter, picked up the jade bi and looked at it carefully, and did not speak for a long time, as if he was a demon.
Lao Hei pulled out the jade bi from his hand with force: "I can't pull it out when I see it, I am short of money to spend recently, give a price." β
The old man came back to his senses and pushed his glasses: "This jade, the era is quite long, and the workmanship is relatively complete, but it's just ......."
This is going to sit on the ground and lower the price, Lao Hei shouted with a big grin: "It's just what? β
"It's just that the price of white jade has dropped so much recently, I'm afraid it won't be sold at a high price, and, you see, ......" The old man stretched out his hand to Lao Hei, and Lao Hei put the jade bi in his hand: "Look, when it comes to the Nine Dragons Playing Pearls, you only have eight dragons, and the nine sons of the dragon are all different, these nine sons are lost, and there is blood in this piece of jade, which is obviously a funeral item, and it is unlucky to buy it back, unlucky." β
Lao Hei shouted: "You tell me so much useless, how much money, you give a number." β
The old man looked at the jade bi for a while, and stretched out five fingers.
Lao Hei raised his eyebrows: "Don't be sloppy with me, what do you mean?" Fifty thousand? β
The old man put the jade bi on the counter and slowly pushed the jade bi to Lao Hei: "Five thousand, at most, dead people's things, it's bad luck to accept it, I'm giving you an old customer price, and I can make a friend." β
"What?" Lao Hei grabbed the jade bi with one hand and stretched it out directly to the old man's face: "Such a big piece of jade, it's only five thousand yuan!" β
"This is already considered high, if you get it to another store, I'm afraid it will give you two thousand, you look at the texture of this relief, it is not a good knife work." The old man picked up the teapot and squinted at the jade bi in Lao Hei's hand.
"I don't read much, don't lie to me." Lao Hei's face was incredulous.
"You don't read much, I won't lie to you, don't worry, for the first time you come, I'll add another five hundred to you, if you sell it, just stay here, no more." As he spoke, the old man interjected and snorted.
