114.Chapter 114 Chapter 0114: Uncle Xu's Hongmen Banquet
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Uncle Xu's wife said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, I fried a few side dishes casually, and I don't know if it's right for your appetite." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
I glanced at six dishes on the table. The first thing that caught my eye was: stir-fried shredded pork with garlic.
"Ahh I pointed to the plate of fried shredded pork with garlic moss.
Uncle Xu smiled and said to his wife, "What's the matter, I'm right." ”
I asked suspiciously, "Uncle Xu, how do you know that I like to eat this dish?"
"Haha......" Uncle Xu stroked his beard and said proudly: "Last time you came, I saw that you had garlic moss stuffed between your teeth, and I knew at a glance that you liked to eat this dish." ”
"You even noticed the food stuffed between my teeth?" I was taken aback, I didn't expect Uncle Xu's eyes to be so poisonous and his mind to be so fine.
"Although your uncle is over seventy, his eyes are not dazzled and his ears are not deaf. Uncle Xu's wife praised.
"Uncle Xu, you are really not simple. I say from the bottom of my heart.
"Haha... Xiao Zhang, no matter how good I am, I can't match you. Uncle Xu said something in his words.
I listened to it for a while, and asked weakly, "Uncle Xu, what do you mean by this?"
"You know it in your heart. Uncle Xu smiled and said, "I want to hear you tell the truth, how much is this stone worth?"
I thought to myself: Uncle Xu suddenly asked me how much this stone was worth, naturally he wouldn't ask casually, he must have seen something famous.
I think: Uncle Xu would never know that this stone is "The Stone of Husband and Wife", but he already feels that this stone is not ordinary. The question is: Where did Uncle Xu see that this stone was not ordinary? I carefully combed through today's performance, and I felt that there was not a trace of flaw. Then, Uncle Xu must be trying to cheat me.
I laughed and said to Uncle Xu, "There is an old saying that gold has a price, and jade is priceless. As an elder in the world of antiques, you must know very well that it is difficult to determine the price of a treasure like jade. ”
Uncle Xu listened to my words and raised his head and laughed. After laughing, he said, "You are doing tai chi in front of me." ”
I said calmly: "Uncle Xu, I didn't fight Dajiquan, what I said was the truth." Take your stone as an example, if it is beautifully packaged, maybe it will feel better to the buyer. ”
"You mean I wrapped the stone in rags and let it depreciate?" Uncle Xu asked.
"It doesn't have to be depreciated, but if it is placed in a delicate jewelry box, the stone will look more noble. I laughed.
"It's gold, and it shines wherever you put it. A knowledgeable businessman does not account for packaging. Uncle Xu said.
"That's right. "I don't want to refute Uncle Xu's face. In fact, in modern society, the importance of packaging is becoming more and more important, which may not be clear to Uncle Xu.
"Xiao Zhang, what do you think of this stone?" Uncle Xu asked again.
I looked at Uncle Xu and thought: If I tell him that this stone is "The Stone of Harmony and Husband and Wife", then he will definitely raise the price significantly. No matter how stupid I am, I won't tell the truth.
"It's a strange stone, not only like the side of a woman's head, but also with animal motifs on it. It's the first time I've seen such a rare stone. "Although I praised the stone, it was clearly not too high-key.
"yes, it's a strange stone, and to be honest, I'm a little reluctant to sell it. Uncle Xu said.
When I heard this, I was a little anxious. I didn't show it, though. Just smiled faintly and said, "This stone is a little too big, otherwise, it would be quite interesting to hang it on your waist and play with it." ”
"Playing with millions of treasures?" Uncle Xu smiled and said, "I don't have this Yaxing." ”
I thought: If Cheng Yifei bought this piece of "Husband and Wife Stone", maybe it would alarm the cultural relics world, and when it reached the ears of Uncle Xu, he would think that I had played tricks. In this way, Uncle Xu and I have become enemies, which I don't want to see. Thinking of this, I decided to give Uncle Xu a preventive shot.
"Uncle Xu, to do this antique treasure business, sometimes you have to make up stories. I said quietly.
"Make up a story?!" Uncle Xu paused, and then urged with interest: "Tell me in detail." ”
I smiled and said slowly, "Uncle Xu, once, I went to the south for a tour. In an obscure attraction, there are three thatched houses. In the explanatory text of the scenic spot, it is said that these three thatched houses were lived in by Emperor Qianlong during his southern tour. When the tour guide introduced, he said that when Emperor Qianlong was staying here, he met a beautiful folk girl, so he bought these three thatched huts and gave them to this folk girl. Since then, this folk girl has become the junior of Emperor Qianlong. When everyone heard that Emperor Qianlong's junior lived here, they took pictures one after another. ”
"And this kind of thing?" Uncle Xu smiled.
"Uncle Xu, there are too many such things, it can be said that they abound. If you don't make up stories, no one will look at these three thatched houses, but if you make up a good story and make it wonderful, these three thatched houses will become a tourist attraction. You see, those who sell snacks prefer to make up a certain emperor, and such and such a high-ranking official has tasted it, and he is full of praise. As soon as such publicity is promoted, the common people want to taste it. You taste it, I taste it, and the merchant will make a fortune. I babbled.
What I mean by this is that if this stone "becomes" into "The Stone of Harmony and Husband and Wife", it is just "making up a story".
"Interesting, very interesting. Uncle Xu stroked his beard, nodded, and said, "It's good to make up stories, but I don't know how to make them." ”
"Uncle Xu, you don't know how to make it up, that's because you're too sincere. However, if this stone were in someone else's hands, it might make up some kind of story. At that time, the value of the stone will rise dramatically. I clicked.
"Let them make it up, even if it can be sold for 100 million, I won't be blushing. Uncle Xu said happily.
I finally let go of my hanging heart, thinking: Even if Uncle Xu heard that this was a piece of "Harmony and Husband and Wife Stone", he would definitely think that it was just a story made up.
"These people who make up stories are actually deceiving people. I said deliberately disdainfully.
"I can't control if others want to deceive people, but I won't make up stories to deceive people. Uncle Xu looked at me and asked, "Xiao Zhang, I really can't get the price of this stone." You say, "Eight million isn't too high?"
Listening to Uncle Xu ask me sincerely, I felt a little guilty. Busy said: "Uncle Xu, in my opinion, this stone must be worth eight million." It's a pity that I can't make up a story for it, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be sold for a little more expensive. ”
