In the spring of 1985, a mud-legged man dressed in a pulp blue coat walked into my shop with a baggage. The man seemed to be in town for the first time, his eyes wandering, and he walked to the counter without asking anything, and opened a hole in a blue-printed torn bag. I told him that the shop had been repaired for a few days and had not charged anything. The man didn't follow, he had to let me give him a look, and when I was in a dilemma, a figure flashed into the door, grabbed the hand of the middle-aged man in blue, and showed a big yellow gold tooth and smiled: "Oh, yes, you baby, the small shop can't take it." ”

As soon as I saw that it was Brother Jinya, I simply pushed all the troubles on his head, and said to the middle-aged man: "Look, this is the big shopkeeper of our 'Yiyuan Zhai', what business do you have, just look for him." ”

The middle-aged man immediately put the things in his hand on the table and called the big gold tooth to look at it. He only glanced at it, spread his hands, and put on the face of a village cadre who was worried about the country and the people: "I said that this big boss comrade, as the saying goes, is not a family, and you don't enter a family." Your baby is good, but our 'Yiyuan Zhai' temple is small, and what we do is a small business and eat with a mouthful. This treasure of yours is truly a rare treasure in the world. We also have the heart to take it, but we don't have the strength to take it. In this case, you go up to Gongyuan Street and look for the way, there are many big shops there. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and pointed at me, lowered his voice and said to the man: "I won't tell you, I haven't paid this month's salary yet, you look at my fellow, with a green face, all hungry." ”

When I heard what he said, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. The big gold tooth is a little ninety-nine, which can only deceive the simple and honest working people. This old boy may have some bad idea and wants to accept other people's things at a low price.

The "big boss" with the belt tied to his chest was full of suspicion, covering the rag burden in his arms, and looked at me. The big gold tooth took the opportunity to give me a look, I didn't like to yellow his face, so I had to hold my breath and shout along his tone: "By the way, the shopkeeper, when will the salary be paid?" My family has starved to death, how can I live this life? ”

The big golden tooth sighed and said to the man, "Thanks to the fact that you can afford the small shop, you ran all the way to the door and didn't even drink the tea." Otherwise, let's take a compromise method, you leave the things behind, and it is considered consignment. Wait for the ticket to be remitted to you, as for the commission, you look at the reward, the best is more, we have no opinion on less, how about it? ”

The man immediately covered his burden and shook his head into a rattle, for fear that the big gold tooth would go up and snatch his treasure. After saying thank you, he ran to Gongyuan Street in a puff of smoke. I teased him twice and said, "I haven't seen him for a few years, and even his tongue is about to be replaced with gold. ”

The big golden tooth didn't care, and sat down in front of me first to ask for credit: "The big shopkeeper, this time you have to give my brother a credit." ”

I saw that he had something to say, so I asked him what the man had in his baggage just now, and why he didn't take it. The big gold tooth smiled, touched a handful of melon seeds, and snorted: "Master Hu, when you asked me to be the palm eye of the store, you really found the right person." Luckily, I arrived in time, and it was just a matter of the front and back feet. Just that bag of things just now, not to mention that no one recognizes the ninety-nine half-shops in the seven streets, eight wells and ninety-nine half-shops in your master's temple, even if you take it back to Panjiayuan in Beijing, you will still be killed. ”

The big gold tooth said that what was hidden in the burden was an ancient post from the Tang Dynasty, and the scientific name was "turning over the phoenix". In layman's terms, it is a fake. In fact, this fake is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and "turning over the phoenix" refers to the highest quality of the fake, which can be faked and faked. Take the ancient post just now, the process of making zuò is quite good, it is to use the yarn on the old bamboo curtain to make the first paper, and then collect the tobacco powder to make incense, use the fire to make the paper brittle, and finally take the incense ash and paste in the big temple to imitate the smell of the ancient post. These techniques themselves are a shocking ingenuity, not to mention the freedom of the handwriting on the ancient posters. Even most connoisseurs believe it and plant it in front of this "turning phoenix".
