The female clerk said with a sinister smile: "You're a dishonest person who doesn't know about chicken blood stone and wants to find an excuse to deny it, right?"
"This Changhua chicken blood stone is unique in the country. Isn't it a fool like you who doesn't recognize it?"
The onlookers also picked up the fragments on the ground and examined them carefully with magnifying glasses.
"It's Changhua Bloodstone!"
"Indeed! It's really the chicken blood stone near Qiantang!"
"This pile of wine glasses is really worth at least 12 million! It's just a pity that the little girl broke it all at once!"
"Now I can only buy back a bunch of scraps!"
Everyone looked at Xia Manyu with regret.
Xia Manyu's face turned pale as she listened to everyone's discussion, her whole body was soaked with sweat, and she looked at Ye Zhiqiu subconsciously.
Ye Zhiqiu ignored everyone's comments. He turned to look at the female clerk and sneered: "As we all know, chicken bloodstone is the king of stones in the world. Most of them are used for carving and making seals, although there are some that make wine glasses. !”
"However, there is no record in any documents or historical records that Emperor Kangxi used bloodstone to make wine glasses! Your words are not trustworthy!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly: "And, from my point of view, this is not bloodstone at all, but carnelian, right?"
The crowd suddenly became noisy.
"Carnelian?"
"Is it really carnelian?"
"Why do I think it's just bloodstone?"
"I think it's also soapstone, but this young man said it's carnelian. Is there any basis for it?"
Everyone looked confused.
The woman and several companions suddenly looked panicked.
"Nonsense! You guy, you don't want to lose money, so you wantonly slandered us, saying that we used carnelian to pass off as chicken blood stone?" The woman in the leader yelled, but everyone could see that she was a bit fierce at heart.
The customers had some doubts just now, but after seeing the reactions of several clerks, they believed Ye Zhiqiu even more.
"Looking at the panic on their faces, is this guy telling the truth? Is this really carnelian?"
"Looking at her bluffing look, this young man is really right!"
Everyone was whispering to each other.
When the female clerk heard everyone's discussion, her face turned pale and she was sweating profusely.
"You brat, you don't want to lose money, so you're just talking nonsense! Today is going to break the rules, and you have to pay money, no less!"
Ye Zhiqiu held the carnelian fragment in his right hand, tossed it in the air, reached out casually to catch it, and sneered.
"Even if we are asked to pay compensation, it will only be the price of the carnelian!"
"The pair of carnelian wine glasses you made are now fake products. The knife skills are good! I will compensate you 10,000 yuan at most!"
"But that's if the wine glass here is intact!"
Ye Zhiqiu paused, and then said: "Now, I have enough evidence to prove that your pair of wine glasses were cracked in two before, but they were stuck together with some glue and left there! Just put the crack in the same direction. side!"
"From the outside, it looks like it's in perfect condition! But if any unlucky guy touches it, you will blackmail him!"
"Generally speaking, anyone who has been in the antique circle for three or five days will understand the most basic rules. Just look, don't do anything! To avoid getting entangled if something is broken!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly: "And this classmate of mine is a true newcomer, and he has fallen into your trap!"
Xia Manyu looked at him with joy, holding his shoulder tightly with her right hand.
"Zhiqiu, is this really the case?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly.
"You, you are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense!"
"It was obviously your companion who broke our antiques, but you actually raked them down!"
The female clerk was sweating profusely and managed to retort.
The companions behind her also reprimanded loudly, but they all lacked the confidence.
The onlookers had already seen clearly that it was indeed these clerks who deliberately framed Xia Manyu, and everyone was very angry.
Ye Zhiqiu ignored the clerks, rummaged through the pile of debris on the ground with his left hand, and finally picked up another piece of debris.
He stood up and handed the fragment in his left hand to an uncle who was watching.
"Uncle, look at this chip. Is it damaged before or just broken?"
The uncle took the fragment and looked at the cross-section of the carnelian. He saw that it was somewhat black and old, and it had obviously been damaged for a long time.
"This crack was indeed broken before, not just after a fall!"
The onlookers crowded over to see the incision, and everyone was in an uproar.
"It was really broken before!"
"Jixiangzhai actually uses this method to blackmail!"
"Fortunately, this little brother has a sharp eye, otherwise, they would have succeeded!"
"Good guy! Jixiangzhai is also a relatively famous antique store in our entire Jianghai City! I didn't expect that it would also use this method to deceive people!"
"Everyone, please pay attention! No one should come to Jixiangzhai from now on, so as not to be tricked by them!"
The crowd was furious, and more and more passers-by passed by outside. When everyone heard the truth of the matter, they all looked at the clerks in surprise, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
The female clerk and all her companions were already soaked with sweat, their faces were pale and their whole bodies were shaking. Facing the almost cannibalistic gazes from all around, I wanted to faint immediately.
"What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about?"
At this moment, an angry shout was heard from upstairs.
Before the voice fell, a fat man in his forties was seen walking down slowly with a black pipe in his mouth and his hands behind his back.
"Boss! They broke the soapstone wine glass in our store, and they still don't admit it!" As soon as the female clerks saw Li Fugui, their faces were all happy, and they hurried forward and told what happened. Again.
When Li Fugui heard that Ye Zhiqiu insisted that the two wine glasses were broken before, his face suddenly became very ugly. He took a deep breath from the cigarette, puffed out a cloud of blue smoke, raised his belly, and glared at Ye Zhiqiu fiercely.
"Even if these two wine glasses were damaged before, they are still worth a lot of money because they are made of soapstone after all! I don't want you 12 million, you 8 million, just take away the fragments from this place."
Ye Zhiqiu sneered: "Boss Li, you don't seem to understand what I said. I said, they are made of carnelian and are no more than three years old. If they are intact, for the effort, I will pay you eight thousand yuan." Yes, it’s natural!”
"But they are broken to begin with. Let alone ten thousand, I will pay you five hundred, which is not bad!"
Li Fugui's heart was beating wildly, and his face suddenly darkened: "Young man, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Why do you say that this is carnelian?"
"Instead of bloodstone?"
Ye Zhiqiu weighed the fragment again with his right hand: "It's very simple. Carnelian is much heavier than soapstone! Anyone who is interested in antiques can easily tell the difference!"
“It’s also harder than bloodstone!”
