What Jianghu people like most is this bowl of Jianghu wine. Take a sip and all kinds of flavors are in it.
In July of this year, I lost money in business and had no choice but to move to Jianghuai. After settling the accounts at the Tangkou camp, I came to Hezhou alone.
Family, career, the well-matched marriage that is about to enter the palace...
The past was glorious...
I got off the train at Huaihua Station and the moment I walked out of the train station, I was in a state of dissociation and not knowing what to do.
For a moment, I even wanted to find a place to curl up my feet. Qingshan Yuanshui, where is the burial ground?
"Want to rest, fellow?"
When I walked out of the station and arrived at the station square, a woman in her thirties came up to me.
I looked around with confusion and confusion, and at the same time waved my hand towards him to show that I didn't need it.
"Handsome guy, take a rest. Forty yuan is not expensive. I have a little girl. I'll find you a little girl to relax with!"
When the woman saw me waving my hands to refuse, she didn't leave. Instead, she stuck to me like a dog-skin plaster.
I waved my hand and rejected her again. It’s not that I don’t like playing, it’s just that a penny stumps the hero. I only have thirteen dollars left in my pocket.
In the past, when I was in Kyoto, beautiful women could come and go happily and freely, but now, the situation is really embarrassing and difficult.
I walked a few steps quickly, distanced myself from her, and walked towards the Huaihua Ancient Mall store on the other side of the road.
There is a profession in the antique shop called treasurer, or treasurer. I am in urgent need of a job to solve my life problems, and then I will consider buying and selling goods. If I can make a comeback, that will be great, but if not...
"Hello fellow, do you want to see the goods?"
The person in charge of the store is a man in his thirties, with a round face, big ears, and a slicked back. As soon as I entered the store, he greeted me kindly.
I nodded and didn't directly tell him that I was looking for a job. Instead, I said to him: "Let's take a look."
I walked around the mall. There are a lot of things in the mall. The Yuanjiang River is a place with outstanding people, thousands of years of cultural accumulation, huge waves of history, and gold-plated sands. Naturally, there are many good things left behind.
After shopping around, I stood down in front of the shelf and pointed to a blue and white vase with a phoenix pattern on the shelf and said to my elder brother.
"This wind-patterned blue and white vase does have some charm."
As soon as the elder brother heard what I said, he immediately became energetic, his eyes were full of energy, and he started to say to me with a lotus voice: "My fellow villager has a good sense. This blue and white phoenix pattern is an authentic sky celadon from the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty. The afterbirth is pure and the workmanship is exquisite." Excellent, it is said that the emperor of Weizong, Dameng Tianqing, made a decree that after the rain, the sky and blue clouds will break the virginity. This color will be the future... This phoenix pattern bottle can be said to be the treasure of my shopping mall..."
I listened carefully to what my elder brother said, then pointed to the blue vase with phoenix pattern on the shelf and said, "Take it off for viewing."
The eldest brother nodded in response and found a stool to pick up the goods, while I returned to the counter. Some people say that the initial threshold for the antique industry is to understand the history of the Ming Dynasty, but I think you must first learn to brag.
A piece of broken iron dug out of a spear pit can be said to be a piece of bronze from the Shangtang era, and the player is willing to pay the bill, happily turn over his hands, and walk out of this store with the east side, which is called Jianghu skills.
"Fellow, please take care of yourself."
After taking off the blue and white vase with phoenix pattern, the elder brother walked behind the counter and handed the thing directly to me.
I smiled, brother, are you testing me?
I have been working in the antique shop for many years. Although I am now at the end of my life, I have not lost my rules.
I knocked on the red cloth on the counter and said nothing.
The eldest brother's expression changed slightly and he placed the blue and white vase with phoenix pattern on the red cloth on the counter.
In the antique shop, there is generally an unwritten rule when looking at objects, which is called "the tool cannot be used properly."
This rule is almost as strict as the jade shop's "no jade is too good to hand", both for the purpose of better clarifying and dividing responsibilities.
Since the eldest brother is in charge of the shopping mall, there is no way he doesn't understand this rule. When he handed the blue and white vase with the phoenix pattern directly in front of me, it was obvious that a Jianghu man was watching others order the dishes.
After all, near the train station, people come and live, from all over the world, and there are many guests from all over the world. Most of them just like it and buy one as a souvenir.
These customers are all first-hand business, and there is no such thing as first-time or second-time familiarity. How much they can win depends entirely on their penetrating eyes and mouth that can eat everywhere.
I watched my elder brother sleep for a while, then picked up the blue and white vase with phoenix pattern on the red cloth on the counter and pretended to look at it again.
Ming Dynasty Wanli blue and white, and not official cellar porcelain. Although the work clothes and phoenix knots are exquisitely made, they are not really high-quality in my eyes.
"Is this blue vase with phoenix pattern really Song Rujiao's sky blue?"
I looked at my elder brother with the blue and white vase with phoenix pattern and asked in a deeper tone.
The elder brother glanced at me, his tone was timid, he squinted and said: "According to the seller, it is indeed Song Rujiao Tianqing, and you see that there is nothing to say about this afterbirth, you sincerely want this number. "
The eldest brother said and pointed three fingers directly at me.
I smiled and looked at him and said, "Three yuan?"
The eldest brother's expression suddenly changed, he looked at me and said, "You...how can you do this kind of business? For three yuan, you can go eat a sausage across the street."
I glanced at him and continued to smile and said, "Then what do you mean, thirty?"
The eldest brother got a little angry, looked at me and said, "Thirty is followed by ten thousand. You said you also know the rule of not being able to wield a weapon, but why don't you know what is said in the sleeves and robes?"
"The world is discussed in the sleeves and robes", of course I know, it is a rule passed down by the older generation in the antique shop. After the buyer is satisfied with the goods, he comes to the transaction stage. At this time, he bargains directly like buying vegetables at the vegetable market. It is an insult to the ancestors and the spirituality of the artifacts.
At this time, most of the older generation would stick out five fingers in their sleeves and robes to judge the price. Later, they would discuss the business on the tea table with tea in it. , Later, with the development of the times, the sinking market no longer cares about these, asking prices and counter-offerings all the time, but the truly upscale market still pays great attention to these rules.
I looked at my elder brother and said, "Three hundred thousand, why don't you grab it? But if it's Rujiao porcelain as you said, this price is a bargain. It's just a pity that it's a parallel import."
After hearing what I said, the eldest brother's face turned completely dark. He looked at me and said angrily: "You don't seem to be able to afford it. Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. Don't affect my business."
I glanced at my elder brother, suddenly raised the blue and white vase with phoenix pattern in my hand, and then smashed it on the ground!
Bang!
Porcelain pieces were broken all over the floor!
The eldest brother was dumbfounded when he saw the whole person. Then he pointed at me and shouted: "You are fucking crazy, you are crazy! I will pay you 300,000 yuan, if you want to leave the store."
I spread my hands and looked at him and said, "You're right, you have to compensate, but it's not me who compensates you, but you who compensate me. I'll compensate you three for one, nine hundred thousand."
