The overall workmanship of the box is average, the condition is defective, the four corners have different degrees of wear marks, the black lacquer surface is matte, and the corners have barbed traces, only these two points can be concluded that its black lacquer was later refilled.

This kind of repainted and repaired object is called color head goods in the antique field.

"Boss, how did you sell this box?"

"Oops! Little brother looks like you're an expert! ”

The boss of the melon skin hat took a standard Beijing piece, pointed to the lacquered wooden box and said: "Nowadays, one young man is counted as one, and there are really few who can call its name, little brother, you are definitely an expert." ”

"This box, I brought it from Yanjing, it was passed down from my grandmother's generation, don't look at my grandmother left early, but her old man's identity is not ordinary, the three generations are the descendants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Yellow Flag, the box is the grandmother married to our family's dowry, the small leaf rosewood material, the craftsmanship of the eight masters in Beijing, the quality of the workmanship is not picked, the last time someone bid 30,000 I didn't give up! Today, we met in this Chaotian Palace, which means that you have a relationship with it, hehehe. ”

The boss enthusiastically handed me a cigarette, I shook my head and refused, and was about to get started, when suddenly a black shadow came up from behind, and a pair of white and immature hands followed.

I raised my head and saw a beautiful woman with a ponytail, grabbing me and grabbing the lacquered wooden box on the stall, coming and going like a thunderstorm.

The young woman was pretty with a ponytail, wearing a long beige trench coat, carrying a leather satchel, about twenty years old, with delicate facial features and bright eyes, especially the speed of the hand, and in the blink of an eye, she held the lacquered wooden box on the palm of her hand.

Boy! Come up with a beard!

"Beauty, you're not kind, you've broken the rules of the antique field."

I frowned and said, the state has a return to the rules of the country, antiques pay attention to the first come, first come, as long as the thing does not leave the hand, even if you like it, you can't snatch love from other people's hands, like her is a broken rule, you have to say a few words when you meet a good talk, if you encounter a grumpy throw-up, you have to endure the two ear scrapers.

The young beauty disagreed, played with the lacquered wooden box in her hand and raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes." There is indeed a saying in the antique field that it comes first and comes first, but according to the rules of Jinling Chaotian Palace, whoever gets started first will speak, and now the box is in my hand, so I have the final say, boss? Are you right? ”

The beautiful woman smiled mischievously, and two shallow dimples appeared on the sides of her mouth.

The boss probably knew the person in front of him, and his face was full of courteous smiles: "What Miss Song said makes sense, little brother, you can take a look at the other objects on my stall, I have a lot of good goods here, red sandalwood, huanghuali." ”

I glanced at the boss's unambitious appearance, knowing that there was no place to reason with this stubble, and finally saw a leak, and was actually cut off, if it wasn't for the other party being a woman, I really told her well.

"Miss Song, this box is handed down from my grandmother's generation, the material of rosewood, the craftsmanship of the eight masters of Beijing, if you like it, give one, I will sell it and give it away!" I will personally send you to Xuan Bao Zhai! Hehe! ”

The one that the boss said is the jargon of the antique world, which corresponds to the meaning of a thousand yuan.

The young beauty tasted it carefully, and finally pouted: "Boss Yao, if your box is really the craftsmanship of Xiaoye Rosewood and the Eight Great Craftsmen, let alone a thousand yuan, there are people inviting ten thousand yuan, you are clearly soft pine, which is the level of an ordinary carpenter, and you dare to say that it is the craftsmanship of the eight great craftsmen in Shangjing, and you are not afraid of flashing to the big tongue when you speak." ”

The young beauty turned around and threw a look at me: "Little brother, give you a thousand yuan, I don't want it anyway, hehe!" ”

The young beauty has a fresh fragrance of flowers, her eyes are quirky, and she is even more ruthless when she speaks.

"Boss Yao, I'll go first, I'll go to Xuanbaozhai for tea when I have time, I'll treat you."

The beauty ignored the boss Tie Qing's face, and before leaving, she specially snapped her fingers at him, almost didn't make the boss angry on the spot, doing business on the antique field, even if you really see the problem, everyone is tacitly merciful, just know it in your heart, and leave a line to see each other in the future.

This girl is good, and she directly blocked the boss's back road.

The boss didn't dare to be mad on the spot, it is estimated that this girl's identity background is not simple, otherwise another boss will kill people.

"Little brother couldn't help you just now, do you still want this box?"

The boss saw me standing in place, and asked cheekily: "A little girl's family, I don't understand anything, don't listen to her nonsense, if she is not the eldest lady of Xuan Bao Zhai, I can't kill her!" Little brother, this box is indeed an old object in the Xianfeng period, can you take a closer look? ”

I had to get on the lacquered wooden box empty-handed, opened the small drawer and took a general look, there were some messy bottles and cans in it, and I basically had a score in my heart: "That's right, boss, your box is indeed an old thing in Xianfeng, but the girl is not wrong, the material of soft pine, the black paint that was made up in the later stage, your black paint is quite new, and it is quite hard to touch, and the time for painting is not more than two months." ”

As soon as the boss heard my words, his eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a surprised expression: "Clumsy eyes!" I didn't expect you to be a connoisseur, brother, you can even see the time when the color is colored? I really don't know Mount Tai, okay, little brother, we don't go around in circles, the market hasn't opened today, this box you look at, the price is right for you to take away. ”

The boss has a direct showdown, and I don't hide it: "Eighty." ”

"Little brother, this is simply a dragon slaying knife, my lacquering salary is more than this price, you cut too hard at this price, so, you take five hundred yuan, whoever earns a penny is the grandson."

I said I would give you ninety at most, not a single point more.

The boss was also weak-hearted, and when he saw me get up, he should place the price: "Deal!" ”

The first transaction in my life was closed for 90 yuan, and my hands were still a little trembling when I paid the money, but at that time I was undoubtedly confident in my heart, and the stone that pressed on the bottom of my heart finally fell to the ground, and I Wu Yan finally had the money to eat a full meal.

After buying the lacquered wooden box, it was already half past nine in the morning, I went to the store area of Chaotianmen with the box, and was in the cross street of the antique market.

At that time, my father's gambling fight was carried out in the century-old store Xuan Bao Zhai, Xuan Bao Zhai was the only one in Jinling that year with more than 100 years of seniority, 16 years ago that night, what happened in the century-old store Xuan Bao Zhai? How many secrets did that tragic gambling fight hide?

I didn't know how long I stood in front of Xuan Bao Zhai's store, and finally I was pulled back to reality by a crisp voice.

"This boss? Do you want to ask for goods or cut love?
