Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Deceased

A Song Dynasty brother kiln known as three million was so broken, my heart had already been mentioned in my throat, the two female saleswomen were dumbfounded, and the layer of powder on their faces was about to fall off nervously, at this time Chaozi took the initiative to say: "Call your boss, I can talk to him about compensation." ”

There was a big deal at the stall, the saleswoman nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and after a while, a man wearing a big gold chain came down from the upper floor, about forty years old, with a five-colored dragon tattooed on his arm, and his figure was very burly. From the stairs he looked at us with cold eyes, I felt that this should not be a good stubble, nervous speechless, only felt that the air was about to freeze.

"What's going on?" "Manager Niu, the guest broke the Song Dynasty brother kiln, saying that he wanted to pay ......"

"Compensation?" He looked Chaozi up and down and said, "Okay, three million, I can find someone to help you glue things together, and the manual cost will be calculated separately." ”

Chaozi nodded and took out a wallet from his arms, I thought to myself if he really gave out three million, but I didn't want him to take out a few Grandpa Mao and gently put it on the table and said: "Three hundred yuan, don't look for it, the rest should be for me to invite you to tea." ”

The face of the big gold chain was pulled down at once, and then he slowly walked around Chaozi and said: "Brother, you are here to deliberately find fault, you have to pay for breaking my jar, did my little sister tell you the price in advance?" If you can't afford it, don't touch it, it doesn't matter if you don't understand the rules in this industry, you have to understand the rules of life, right? As soon as the words fell, some people rushed out from the back of the shop, looking like they were all angry, some of them were still holding daggers and the like, there must be seven or eight people, and they surrounded us with a hula blow. What kind of place is this Xi'an? In the land of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the people have been fierce since ancient times, and today this matter is a dumb person who eats Coptis chinensis and can't say it.

Chaozi glanced at the formation lightly and said with a smile: "The underworld? ”

"How can it," the big gold chain lowered his voice, then turned around and walked to the door of the store, pulled down the roller shutter and said: "Now it is a legal society, there is no underworld in our land of China, you break my things and compensate according to the price, this reason is justified anywhere, right?" It's just that there are more guys in the store, all counting on these bottles and cans of food, and if you break this bottle, you will break our rice bowl, so buddy, hurry up, if we don't have money, we will have to change the way. ”

"I'll find your boss." Chaozi Road.

The big gold chain smiled at the little brother: "He is looking for the boss? I'm the boss! ”

Chaozi nodded and said, "Okay, you're the boss?" Okay, how much is your store worth? ”

"Why are you asking this, don't talk about that useless, let's talk about how to solve this matter today."

Chaozi suddenly picked up the round stool that showed the customer something, and then swept towards the glass cabinet on the side without us noticing, only to hear a "clang", and a row of jade objects inside suddenly popped out. He didn't seem to be about to let go, so he turned his head and ran towards the counter where the jar was stored on the side, when the big gold chain reacted and shouted: "Why are you still stunned, take it for Lao Tzu!" ”

At this time, Chaozi took an inconspicuous small bowl in his hand and shook it in his hand, and then shouted to the people who came up: "Try another one, and this bowl will be gone." With this sentence, the group really didn't dare to go up, looking at each other as if they were waiting for the leader's order, and the big gold chain understood that he was afraid that he would not meet a mortal today, so he asked, "Which way is the brother?" ”

"You tell Lao Cai that if he doesn't roll me over within ten minutes, the only genuine product in his store should be powdered." With that, he put down his stool and sat there by himself, and greeted the female clerk who was already frightened, "Serve me a pot of tea." ”

Only then did I understand that Chaozi was pinching the other party's throat, and it seemed that the inconspicuous little bowl in his hand was probably a really valuable treasure, and he would not easily look away from his experience. Sure enough, the big gold chain beckoned his men to watch us and then flashed to the back to make a phone call, and after about five or six minutes there was a sharp sound of brakes at the door, and a whining siren.

After a wild knock on the roller shutter, a bald fat man covered in sweat came in, even wearing his clothes backwards, and he was followed by a few uniforms, and as soon as he entered the door, he yelled: "Which son of a bitch is tired of raising a life and comes to me to smash the field!" ”

The uniforms came in and shouted at us, "Squat down and take out your ID cards!" ”

"I'll give you a chance to retract what you just said," Chaozi slowly turned around and said, "If not, Lao Cai, do you know what the consequences are?" ”

The two of them looked at each other, and the fat man named Lao Cai was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react, and then patted his smooth brain and said: "Alas, Mom, who did I say, Super Master, Zhuo Ye, it is a few of you true gods who are here, this is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple's own people don't know their own people, oops, it's all a misunderstanding, that Captain Li, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a joke made by his own brothers......"

There is a restaurant outside the Eight Immortals Palace, I heard that it was opened by a royal chef in the last years of the Qing Dynasty after fleeing here with Lafayette, and Lao Cai chose the largest private room. Listening to the introduction, I knew that Lao Cai owed Chaozi a favor, when he was engaged in antiques, Lao Cai was almost chopped off by someone in Hong Kong for a fake, and finally Chaozi came forward to settle this matter for him. This person has a special ability, that is, to make old, high-imitation antiques, he said first, no one on Guanzhong Road dared to say second, almost can be fake, relying on this craft he made a fortune but also offended a lot of people, and gradually used the money to raise a group of subordinates, specializing in pitting some foreign big households.

"Come here to play, what you eat and drink is mine," Lao Cai seems to admire Chaozi very much, and frequently toasts on the wine table, this kind of Jianghu people are the most righteous, and the big gold chain is also losing money all the way, after three rounds of drinking, Chaozi put down his chopsticks and opened the mountain gate directly: "I came here to inquire with you about a person, does the old man Ding Shengwu know on Guanzhong Road?" ”

"I know," Lao Cai nodded: "This is his territory, who can not know him." ”

"Then there is a person under his door named Shi Dangdang, who is a fat man, do you know?"

Lao Cai's face changed when he heard this, and then he took a sip of wine and said: "I haven't heard of it, this Ding family has been closed for almost 20 years, and the family has a big business, so there is no need to do our risky business anymore. ”

"Lao Cai," Chaozi tapped the table lightly with his hand and said: "If you are embarrassed, I won't force you, this Shi Dangdang has some relationship with one of my eldest brothers, if you know his whereabouts, brother, I am grateful, if you really don't want to say it, we will be here today." With that, he got up and prepared to beckon us to go.

That Lao Cai didn't know whether he had drunk too much or was a little hesitant on his face, and said with a red face: "Wait, Chao Ye is not a brother, I don't pay attention to righteousness, it's that I can't reach it at the level, this person almost dominated the black and white in Guanzhong back then, and he was a character with hands and eyes, I really don't dare to offend." I really don't know about his whereabouts, but I can help you inquire, after all, the Ding family has roots everywhere in Xi'an. ”

Chaozi nodded and handed him a business card and said, "I live here, and when you get there, call me at the front desk." ”

After entering the 21st century, the art trade has reached an unprecedented prosperity, and there is a way to be gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times. The world's antiques look at China, and the Chinese antiques look at Guanzhong, this ancient city has countless underground treasures, but the increasingly strict laws also make the older generation of craftsmen have to weigh their own futures. Now, there are fewer and fewer people who are still engaged in that line, and some are some small gangs who dream of getting rich overnight, and the real bigwigs have long since washed their hands, they control the circulation channels, and the whitewashed cultural relics have entered the major auction houses at a price of 100 times and 1,000 times. Or use the money to make real estate, make securities, play investment, and look at K-line charts with a MacBook, sit in Mercedes-Benz, and drink red wine......

The world is changing, and so are people. When I arrived in Xi'an, I didn't have any travel mood, so I lived in the room with Hetu, and I didn't receive a call until the afternoon of the next day that I was going out, but they didn't take us with me this time, I think it was probably because some occasions were not suitable.

Later, I learned that in fact, their trip was still a little thrilling, Lao Cai found a middleman, this person is Liu Sanye, a palm eye of the Ding family in the seventies of the last century, and now he has been retired for many years and is nearly eighty years old. This person has long been not easy to go out of the mountain, and it is quite rare for Lao Cai to be able to find him.

Showing his intentions, Lao Cai is still a little wary of Chaozi and his party, and some unpleasant processes have occurred, which will not be described here, but in the end they got a result, the fat man was not in Guanzhong, but went on a long trip, but they unexpectedly saw another person: Jiu'er!
