Chapter 8 I'm Sorry, Old Ma

"Comrade, how did you sell this snuffbox?"

Passing by a small stall, He Xiao became interested again, and there were more than a dozen snuff bottles on the stall, which looked quite like that.

"Thirty yuan a piece, you pick it yourself, don't bargain."

The stall owner had a cigarette roll in his hand, and when he saw He Xiao squatting down, he started the mountain.

"These things are all from my old man, the old man is gone, it's useless for me to keep them, they are all things from the previous dynasty, the former children of the Eight Banners, I am embarrassed to go out without this......"

"Hey, the previous dynasty, that's been long enough, it's not easy for the old man to stay."

The stupid pillar was bored, and when he saw that his son didn't speak, he chatted with the stall owner.

"That's, my old man, can't you cherish it, big brother, come to one?"

"No, no, I'm not going to smoke this."

……

He Xiao squatted in front of the stall, listening with one ear and one ear, and he had the right to listen to the story.

After a cursory look, he picked out a milky white snuffbox at the stall.

I picked it up and took a closer look, the appearance of the small snuffbox was white and delicate, and the small lid on the top was red, which was well matched and looked very comfortable.

He touched it again, the touch was very warm, and the material looked like Hetian jade, but he wasn't sure if it was genuine.

"Wada Jade ......"

Reaching out to unbutton the shirt, He Xiao took off a piece of warm jade Guanyin from his neck.

This is his grandmother's dowry, the finest mutton fat jade, carved by the master carver.

He compared the two pieces of jade, and the difference was immediately visible.

The jade used to carve the snuff bottle is not white enough and not warm enough, but the material is not bad, it should be really Hetian jade.

"Huh? Little comrade, do you sell this jade Guanyin? ”

He Xiao was stunned, looked up at the person who spoke, and felt a little familiar.

He couldn't help but ask, "Is your surname Ma?" ”

"Yes, my name is Ma Weidu, do you know me?"

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't sell it, I don't sell it."

He Xiao's face immediately changed.

The surname is Ma, and his name is Ma Weidu, he didn't run, he must be an old horse, but he can't let him worry about his own things.

He Xiao turned his head and put on the jade Guanyin, hid it in his clothes, and then looked at the stall owner.

"How many snuff bottles do you have?"

"Ouch, that's a lot, the old man used to have more than 20 of them, and that's all there is left after selling now, and there are ......"

The stall owner took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the stall, "Plus the one in your hand, there are ten more in total." ”

"I'll do it all."

took out thirty sheets of unity from his pocket, He Xiao handed them directly to the stall owner, and then hurriedly cleaned up the snuff bottles on the stall.

"Ah, it's all ......"

The stall owner looked at the big unity in his hand, and then looked at He Xiao, a little dumbfounded.

This is also very painful.

Silly Zhu was also stunned, no matter how rich you are, it's not this way of spending, you are so good at bargaining.

Seeing that the stall owner had put all the money in his pocket, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't do it.

Three hundred yuan, half a year's salary, in exchange for ten snuff bottles that cannot eat or drink......

Yes, in addition to being wronged, my son is also a bit of a loser.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Ma Weidu next to him became interested.

Walking to the front of the stall, he leaned down and glanced at it, then raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise:

"Yo, copper tire cloisonnΓ© enamel, glass painting, this is Hetian jade, right? The snuffbox is good, little brother, even me? ”

He Xiao hurriedly shook his head, and when he heard him, the speed in his hand not only did not stop, but accelerated.

The old horse said it was a good thing, it seems that the thing is really good, and it was missed.

"If you can't do it, forget it, but if you want to make a move in the future, you can find me, I'm the editor of youth literature."

"Oh."

He Xiao replied casually, put the snuffbox into his pocket, and then he was relieved.

"Oh? What is the reaction? ”

Ma Weidu was a little depressed in his heart, and looked He Xiao up and down, nearly one meter seven tall, he was very handsome, dressed very strangely, and his coat had English letters.

It seemed that he was not a bad man, he shook his head, got up and went to the front.

Seeing that the old horse was gone, He Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, he was still a little nervous when he met a celebrity in later generations for the first time.

It's also unlucky, you can meet him when you go to the market, and you can't feel at ease when you pick up all the leaks, for fear of being cut off.

glanced at the stall owner, there was nothing left on the stall, he crossed the Hetian jade snuffbox in his hand, got up and went to another place.

Silly Zhu followed behind He Xiao, a little entangled in his heart, his son spent a lot of money, although it was not his money, but he was still distressed when he looked at it.

After hesitating for a long time, he opened his mouth to persuade: "He Xiao, it is not easy for your mother to make money in Xiangjiang, cherish some flowers." ”

"I spent all the New Year's money my grandmother gave me, not my mother's."

He Xiao was in a good mood, and he was not annoyed when he heard it, so he replied.

From childhood to adulthood, he didn't spend much of the New Year's money given to him by his grandmother, uncle, and some relatives, adding up to 70,000 or 80,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The money spent on buying antiques is a small amount of money, and he really doesn't lack this piece of eight cents.

Silly Zhu was choked by his son's words, and after a while, he muttered again:

"That can't be wronged, you buy those things, it's not worth so much money."

"It's just such a small snuffbox, it's almost half a month's salary, this thing was played by the children of losers before, don't learn from them."

As soon as he heard the title of the wronged head, He Xiao wanted to laugh, "What? I'm not wronged. ”

Glancing at the Hetian jade in his hand, he said beautifully: "These are all good things, thirty yuan is not expensive at all, I missed it." ”

It won't be long, and in another ten years, the seller recalls that today, Zhun Bao can't sleep.

Twenty more years, hehe......

I want to die!

"Huh?"

As he was talking, He Xiao found that the old horse not far away was standing in front of a stall selling old furniture, looking intently at an old bed.

There are good things!!

He Xiao thought subconsciously.

Good fellow, judging by the old horse's expression, this bed is definitely better than his snuffbox.

He didn't care to continue showing off his snuffbox with Silly Zhu, and he strode towards the old horse.

When he arrived, He Xiao hesitated, but after thinking about it, he still stood on the stall next to him.

Pricking up his ears, he glanced at the old horse with his spare eyes and watched quietly.

"Uncle, this thing is a little interesting."

"That is, this bed is my family's ancestral, and the materials used are good, if it weren't for my son getting married and wanting to buy a new one, I would be reluctant to sell it."

"How much do you want to sell?"

"Eight hundred! No one is missing. ”

Hey, He Xiao's heart beat quickly when he heard the price that the uncle said, eight hundred yuan is a lot, and he only spent three hundred to buy the ten snuff bottles.

He looked at the wooden bed, which was unexpectedly pleasing to the eye, and felt a minimalist style.

A wooden plank with long pillars at the four corners, a top frame on top, and a short bed circumference on three sides, it's as simple as that.

There are no carvings, no complicated parts, and there is an atmosphere in the simplicity.

It's really a good thing, even if it's not an antique, He Xiao feels like he can buy it with his eyes closed.

It's not easy to meet things that catch your eyes, I'm sorry old horse.
