Chapter 91: The Surprise of Friends
Qian Xiaoli grinned: "Is this really the case?"
Xu Yunqian glanced at it: "Believe it or not, besides, you don't know my grandfather's character, how can you agree to me finding a partner at my age?"
Qian Xiaoli saw that Xu Yunqian seemed to be really anxious, and hurriedly said, "Okay, can't I believe it?"
"It's true, but when you say it's like I'm lying to you. ”
Xu Yunqian shook her head with a wry smile, and then looked at Cheng Ming: "How is it, do you have time?"
"This, what should I do if I'm a little nervous?" Cheng Ming scratched his head, he was really unprepared for this.
"You mean you don't want to go?" Xu Yunqian stared at Cheng Ming deadly.
"Of course I want to go, just ......" Cheng Ming thought about it, and felt that he would have to see Xu Yunqian's relatives one day sooner or later, so he changed his words: "Okay, when will his old man have time?"
Cheng Ming's attitude made Xu Yunqian a little dissatisfied: "Forget it, just like you, you better not go." ”
Cheng Ming hurriedly explained to himself when he heard this: "Yun Qian, I really feel very nervous, just like now that I ask you to see my parents, will you hesitate because you are nervous?"
Xu Yunqian saw that the three of them were looking at her, especially Qian Xiaoli's ambiguous expression, which made her face feel hot, and said: "What is this?
At this time, the waiter began to serve the food, and she hurriedly said: "Eat the food, eat the food, and talk about other things later." ”
Tian Dazhuang was most interested in eating, and as soon as Xu Yunqian's words fell, he picked up a prawn and chewed it.
Qian Xiaoli hurriedly joined the battle group: "I said Tian Dazhuang, you are too ungraceful, and you are not afraid of not having a girlfriend in the future." ”
Tian Dazhuang didn't care about this: "Demeanor is just waiting for me to find a girlfriend, now, of course, tasting delicious food is the first priority." ”
Speaking of this, he gave a thumbs up to the boss who was in charge: "Boss, your salt-and-pepper shrimp tastes good, and you can open a star-rated hotel with this skill." ”
The boss laughed and replied with a word of thanks.
Qian Xiaoli muttered: "You guy is so incomprehensible, which girl looks for you as a partner, it is really bad for half a lifetime." ”
Tian Dazhuang only knew how to deal with the prawns in front of him, and he didn't care at all, that appearance made Qian Xiaoli look a little itchy.
Although this is a food stall and the dishes have not done enough work in terms of color, the aroma and the taste of the celebrity chef still make everyone eat with a lot of appetite.
After the five flavors of the dish, Qian Xiaoli touched her stomach and said depressedly: "Cheng Ming, it's all your fault, I said that I had a treat today, and you had to rush to pay, which is good, and I will have to grow a few more catties of meat after today's meal." ”
Cheng Ming smiled and said, "No way, who told Xiaosheng that I am not short of money?"
Xu Yunqian glanced at Cheng Ming with disdain: "It's not the money your parents gave you, I don't know what to be proud of." ”
Cheng Ming's face was full of wrongs: "This is my own money." ”
Xu Yunqian looked incredulous: "When will you make your own money, don't tell me that I bought your bottle of potion, which is only five hundred yuan in total, and I don't know if it is enough for the medicinal materials you bought." ”
Cheng Ming said: "That's definitely enough, but the money I'm talking about is not that potion, but an antique." ”
"Antique?" all three of them had incredible looks on their faces.
Tian Dazhuang was the first to react: "I said Brother Ming, when do you still know antiques?"
Cheng Ming immediately took out the rhetoric he had thought of a long time ago: "I have always liked to watch antique shows, and I also bought some antique books to study, but you guys are not interested in collecting antiques, why should I mention this to you?"
At this time, Qian Xiaoli took over and said: "However, I heard that it is very unreliable to pick up antiques, and if you want to make a fortune with this, you will often go bankrupt, right?"
Cheng Ming said: "If you don't understand, just thinking that pies will fall from the sky, of course you will go bankrupt, but me, it's different." ”
"Did you really pick up the leak?" Xu Yunqian looked incredulous.
"Didn't I say it before, the money for today's treat is what I earned by picking up the leaks. Of course, there is no basis for my words, but I will show you this good thing, which I bought for five hundred dollars. ”
As he spoke, Cheng Ming took out a buckle from his pocket and put it on the table.
Xu Yunqian took the thing in her hand and looked at it, and said, "We don't understand this thing, how do we know whether it's good or bad." ”
"Then I'll introduce you to you. ”
Cheng Ming smiled, and was about to explain to everyone when a middle-aged man in his forties with a big round face and a big belly suddenly came out from the side.
With a smile on his face, the man begged, "This little brother, can you show me this buckle?"
"Are you?" Cheng Ming looked at the other party vigilantly.
"Oh, look at my memory, it's my business card. As he spoke, the man took out a business card and handed it to everyone.
Cheng Ming took the business card and looked at it, only to see that the words "Shang Guxuan, Wang Zhimao" were written on it, and there was a contact number and address below.
Cheng Ming hugged his fists: "Oh, it turned out to be the king's shopkeeper, it's really disrespectful!"
Wang Zhimao also replied: "Where, where, just open a small shop to support the family, which is better than the little brother, he is already like a torch at a young age." ”
"Hehe, I still have to learn from my predecessors......"
After a few polite words, Wang Zhimao pointed to the buckle in Xu Yunqian's hand: "Little brother, can you let me get started?"
"Yes. ”
Cheng Ming nodded, and Xu Yunqian handed over the buckle in his hand.
Wang Zhimao took the buckle and said with a smile: "Little girl, in fact, in our antique industry, things are generally placed on the table for the other party to pick up. Some profiteers will also use this method to cheat money, so special attention should be paid to this aspect. ”
Xu Yunqian suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out that there is such a thing, thank you Wang Shopkeeper." ”
Wang Zhimao waved his hand: "I'm just an axe from the class, even if I don't say it, this little brother will mention it." ”
Xu Yunqian looked at Cheng Ming: "He will only let go of the afterthought." ”
Cheng Ming smiled helplessly, anyway, Wang Zhimao said it first, what else could he say.
Wang Zhimao smiled slightly, and then carefully appreciated it. I saw that this buckle is made of pretty agate, the agate texture is better, the pulp is old, the black skin is left on it, the front of the bas-relief figure group, a Hu people offer treasure, a boy, surrounded by Ganoderma lucidum shaped cloud pattern, cloud pattern is typical hundreds of years ago Tang style.
At that time, the economy of the Tang Dynasty was developed, and many ethnic groups in the Western Regions carried out economic and trade with the Tang Dynasty, bringing some Western Regions culture into the Central Plains.
After careful observation for a while, Wang Zhimao was very satisfied with the buckle, he put the buckle back on the table, and asked:
"This little brother, I don't know if you have any ideas for transferring this buckle?"
Cheng Ming said a little indifferently: "Okay, the price is 10,000 yuan, promise you to take it, otherwise forget it." ”
Hearing this price, Xu Yunqian and the others were stunned, the things bought for 500 yuan were actually priced at 10,000 yuan, and they all thought that Cheng Ming was a little crazy.
I saw Wang Zhimao ponder for a moment, and then asked, "Little brother, can't it be cheaper?"
Cheng Ming was very resolute: "I said, this is a fixed price, if it is lower than this price, I might as well go to the auction to try my luck." ”
When Wang Zhimao heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Then this price, but I don't have enough money, can you let me go to the bank to withdraw some money?"
Cheng Ming readily agreed: "Of course you can, anyway, we still have a while to leave, but don't let us wait for a long time." ”
"Row ......"
After speaking, Wang Zhimao said hello to his companions in the seats next to him and walked out of the food stall.
At this time, everyone came back to their senses, and Tian Dazhuang showed an unbelievable look: "Brother Ming, you really only spent five hundred yuan on this thing?"
Cheng Ming smiled: "Of course, how can I lie about this kind of thing?"
Qian Xiaoli took over and said, "Cheng Ming, that person wouldn't have been arranged by you in advance, otherwise how could he have agreed so happily?"
Cheng Ming couldn't laugh or cry a little: "I haven't seen him before, how can I arrange it in advance?" Besides, it's still okay for him to sell this thing for 10,000, and he can make a thousand from changing hands, will you agree to it right away?"
Hearing this, everyone showed surprised expressions again, Xu Yunqian looked back at Wang Zhimao's companion, and whispered: "Cheng Ming, are you a little stupid, since you know the price, why do you still give the money to that person?"
Tian Dazhuang's face was also full of pain: "That's it, a thousand yuan, how many times can I eat the big meal we ate today." ”
Cheng Ming explained with a smile: "This kind of thing is very common in the antique market, in fact, it is the same as wholesale things, the wholesale price is always cheaper than the retail price, right?
"Isn't there an auction then?"
Cheng Ming said: "Although the price of the auction may be more expensive, it is necessary to pay taxes and commissions, and the other is that the time is too long, and the time cost is not much more than now." Therefore, the price is still okay. ”
"I didn't expect that there are so many things to say about the antique trade. After listening to Cheng Ming's explanation, the three of them were a little emotional.
Next, Cheng Ming introduced this buckle and why it is so valuable. When he came to the end, everyone saw Wang Zhimao running in sweating profusely.
"Little brother, can you count the money?"
Cheng Ming took the money in his hand, counted it quickly, and then nodded and handed the buckle to the other party.
