Chapter 2 Visit the Antique Market
That night, Miao Wei and several new colleagues had dinner together at a food stall near the company. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAfter all, everyone is a recent college graduate, they don't have much money on them, and they have just started working, they are still on probation, and the salary is not high.
The boss and their new college students are also familiar with each other, and asked everyone if it is the same, everyone saw off Miao Wei today, so they didn't bother to order food, so they said to the boss that it would be okay as usual.
Soon the boss served six catties of crayfish, a plate of stir-fried screws, a plate of salted edamame and boiled peanuts, and the rest of the stir-fried vegetables were still being processed.
"Boss, come a case of beer, don't get drunk today. Gao Jiaxu waved his hand and called out to the boss.
Then he asked the girl for her opinion: "Do you drink or beer?"
"Of course it's beer, see off Miao Wei today, everyone won't go home if you don't get drunk!" Cui Peng coaxed on the side.
Kong Jing blushed on the side and said, "Beer is beer, but we girls can only drink a little bit." ”
"Okay, in order to send Miao Wei, let's have a little beer tonight. Ruan Qiushan immediately agreed, and turned to look at Jiang Manyun with an inquiring gaze.
"Well, since everyone is in favor of drinking beer, I don't have a problem with that. Jiang Manyun replied in a low voice.
"Haha, Miao Wei still has face, you see that girls didn't drink beer at parties before, and today they broke their vows for you. Ma Yuze coaxed on the side, while Fei Qing on the side looked at the beer in his cup and smiled silently.
Fei Qing is a quiet and introverted colleague in this group of colleagues, but he is very righteous, although he doesn't talk much, he is still very good at work.
"It's all about you. The girls whispered.
"Haha. In the midst of laughter, everyone's atmosphere was harmonious to the extreme.
"Thank you all for your hospitality, but it's a shame that I can't continue to work with you. After three rounds of drinking, Miao Wei was also slightly drunk, and raised the wine glass in his hand and said to everyone.
"What's the pity, although you left here, but the friendship of our friends cannot be forgotten, maybe in a few days, we will meet again somewhere else. After drinking some wine, Fei Qing's words increased.
"That is, today's separation is for a better reunion in the future, and everyone has done this toast. "Everyone started laughing together.
The atmosphere came together, and the drinking was not very controlled, and in the end it seemed that everyone drank too much, and the girls' faces turned red after drinking, but because the food stalls for dinner were in front of the unit, and everyone lived in the dormitory, it was not a big problem.
Returning to the dormitory top-heavy, Miao Wei shook his head, trying to sober himself up, but there seemed to be no improvement, so he went to the bathroom again and washed his face with cold water.
As the cold water slid down his face, Miao Wei's spirit seemed to improve a little, and then he returned to bed, meditated cross-legged, and silently recited the mantra taught to him by his master in his heart.
That's right, it is to meditate cross-legged, Miao Wei's master Wan Taiping taught him kung fu at the same time, but also taught him the heart mantra, the so-called boxing practice does not practice until the old is empty. Although his master has accepted a lot of apprentices, they are mainly in the township, and everyone in the township can't erase their face. There are a lot of apprentices, but in fact, there are many children who can't bear the hardships and give up in the next few months.
The apprenticeship ceremony received by the master is not heavy, it is basically a farmer's native product, chicken, duck and fish or something, during the New Year's holiday, the apprentices give the master some gifts casually, and they are not very expensive gifts, and the mind can be reached. But the master is still very famous in the local area, in addition to kung fu, he can also practice traditional Chinese medicine and help people see doctors.
With so many apprentices, the master taught him and Wan Yutao the internal strength method, and Wan Yutao seemed to have far less effective cultivation than Miao Wei.
As Miao Wei sat down cross-legged, silently reciting the mantra in his heart, ideally speaking, there seemed to be a true qi swimming in his body, and Miao Wei could feel it.
As the true qi traveled in his body, Miao Wei felt as if he was about to break through something, but it didn't seem to break through, and this feeling had been with him for a long time, at least for more than a year, since the second semester of his junior year, he had this feeling, but it seemed that he was always missing a little heat from the breakthrough.
Early the next morning, Miao Wei got up refreshed, and practiced the 36-way grappling hand taught by the master again with the mental formula. Miao Wei still keeps in mind the teachings of his master, the so-called fist does not leave the hand, and practice makes perfect.
In other words, the treatment of the unit is really good, one person in a dormitory, compared to the time when I was in college, the conditions are not much better. After getting up, Miao Wei suddenly remembered that he didn't have to go to work anymore.
What are you going to do today? Miao Wei was a little hesitant in his heart, and suddenly a thought flashed in his heart, anyway, there are still a few days left for the National Day holiday, so why don't you go to the thrift market to help the master find some gifts. Wan Taiping usually likes some antique things, remembering that the master has taken care of him for so many years, and now that he is working, it is time to buy something for the master.
After Miao Wei picked it up, he went out and got on the No. 258 bus and went straight to the thrift and antique market. The thrift antique market is located at the junction of the suburbs like Miao Wei's unit, but it is not far from Miao Wei's current unit, perhaps this is why Miao Wei suddenly flashed the idea of going shopping. Take 258 to get there after three stops, and the straight-line distance is estimated to be shorter.
The antique market is not very big, you can see the head at a glance, the depth is only 600 meters, there are antique buildings on both sides, there are shops in the building, there are fans who sell, there are porcelain sellers, there are jade sellers, there are old calligraphy and paintings and so on.
And on both sides of the road there are also some stalls, selling things are also strange, Miao Wei looked at the flowers, wanted to help the master find some cheap antiques, as for whether he would be deceived, it was not within Miao Wei's consideration, at least his filial piety to the master's mind.
Looking at all kinds of antiques at the roadside stalls, it's really a bit hard to see. The sound of buying and selling comes and goes, and the boss pulls the customer to explain how ancient his things are, how affordable it is to go now, and the customer feels that all kinds of unreliable and so on, so it is a lively atmosphere.
As he walked, Miao Wei was suddenly attracted by something, it was a jade pendant, three inches square, which looked very shabby and ancient. It's just that the pattern seems to be a little strange, but where is it strange, Miao Wei didn't seem to react for a while.
"Boss, what's the way this jade pendant came from. Miao Wei squatted down and pointed at Yu Pei and asked the boss.
"Haha, little brother, good vision, this jade pendant is the treasure of my town stall, look at this texture, this texture, and this...."The stall owner, seeing that someone was interested in his things, immediately gushed about it.
"How much is this jade pendant?" Miao Wei picked up the jade pendant and looked at it.
"This jade pendant has been around for many years, it has been passed down from the Northern Song Dynasty, and it has a history of thousands of years. The stall owner said almost as soon as he spoke.
"But this jade pendant feels that the jade quality is really not very good, it doesn't seem to have any luster, and it seems to have cracks. Miao Wei said while looking at Yu Pei.
"I said little brother, you look at this jade pendant, you can feel its heavy history when you pick it up with your hand, the Northern Song Dynasty has been inherited to this day, this price is not expensive, see if you sincerely want it, and then give you a discount of 1,06 can not be less. The stall owner said sadly.
"The pattern of this jade pendant is quite strange, it seems to be very familiar, it seems to be ......" Miao Wei looked at the pattern of the jade pendant and pondered.
By the way, the pattern carved by this jade pendant is clearly the solar system, the big ball in the middle is the sun, and then there are nine planets.
"Haha, boss, you're so funny, the Song Dynasty knew the solar system, the ancestors of China, five hundred years earlier than the Copernicus in Europe. Miao Wei laughed at the boss.
Miao Wei felt very funny in his heart, seeing a jade pendant engraved with the solar system, saying that it was handed down from the Song Dynasty, just like seeing a porcelain with a bicycle TV burning on it, and then telling everyone that this was fired by the official kiln of the Song Dynasty.
"Little brother, this jade pendant is rumored to be in the Northern Song Dynasty, there is a vision of the next day, there is a fireball falling from the sky in southern Fujian, and later someone found this jade pendant in the place where the fireball landed, this jade pendant is a visitor from outside the world, who said it clearly. The boss continued to argue.
"Boss, don't say much, this jade pendant tells the truth, I still look at it quite pleasing to the eye, although it feels a little tattered, almost broken, but I'm a person to buy things, just look at the edge of the eye, I still like it, buy it yourself for fun, a hundred yuan." Although Miao Wei didn't believe in the boss's nonsense, he still liked this jade pendant.
The boss of this jade pendant has been receiving it for some years, and the price was not expensive at that time, of course, the money was worth more than it is now. This jade pendant was received by him in a remote rural village when he was walking around the streets of FJGD. At that time, he didn't care that the pattern of this jade pendant was the solar system, but he felt that these balls were carved very specially, although they were all balls, but the details of each ball were different. And the farmer who sold his jade pendant said that this was his family's ancestral, and it was said to have been passed down from the Northern Song Dynasty.
Cultural relics and counterfeit cultural relics in the hands of connoisseurs, do not need to look at it, as long as you hold it in your hand, that feeling is not deceiving people, when the boss got this piece of jade pendant, he himself was very sure that he felt that this piece of jade pendant does have a long history.
It was only later, after the appreciation of a few friends, everyone saw at first glance that this jade pendant was carved into the solar system. It's strange to say, seeing that the pattern of this jade pendant is the solar system, the boss picked up this jade pendant again, and the heavy sense of history seems to have gradually faded.
Who knows, the damage of this jade pendant seems to be getting worse and worse, and it seems that it is about to become garbage. In line with the principle that if you can get back a little bit, besides, if you set up a stall anyway, it won't take up much space if you put one more thing, in case it is sold. I felt better at home this morning, but it seems that it was because of the bright light, but when I got to the market, I felt like it was about to crack.
Don't say it, you're really lucky today, although you don't have much money, but it's better to sell it to others than to completely break it in your own hands.
"If you're quite close to your little brother, let's make a friend, it's a deal!" the boss said cheerfully.
"I have a lot of other good things here, little brother, you can see if there is anything you need. The boss enthusiastically introduced it while helping Miao Wei pack the jade pendant.
"No need, I just bought this jade pendant for fun. Miao Wei said absentmindedly, just kidding, this boss seems to be very unreliable, if it weren't for the fact that he looked at this jade pendant very pleasing to the eye, he wouldn't have bought things from this boss, it is obvious that this boss is very insincere.
Besides, Miao Wei has no job now, and the things here cost eight thousand eight at every turn, so he can afford it.
