Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

Chapter 51 The Mysterious Old Man

On this day, Ding Mao felt a little confused when he got up. This was the first time he felt uncomfortable since his rebirth, but it did not affect his enthusiasm for receiving goods.

"How much do you pay for this thing?"

As usual, I found a place with a lot of people and spread the advertising cloth. While chatting with the villagers about home affairs, I searched for ideas and received the goods.

What I saw in the woman's hand was a Qing Dynasty silver inlaid with white jade mirror, and there was a circle of gems embedded on the back, which was very exquisite.

Ding Mao blurted out without thinking: "Sister, I can accept 500!"

However, when the woman heard it, she didn't seem to think it was worth so much, and she quickly took the mirror back!

This look and action made Ding Mao scream in his heart: "It's broken. I quoted the price without thinking much about it. This is a bit difficult to handle!"

Fortunately, Ding Xian seemed to notice that something was wrong, and quickly pretended to reprimand: "You kid, why do you just open your mouth? Do you want to pay this price on your own hands?"

Then he quickly smiled at the woman and said, "Sister, I'm really sorry. The child just followed me and I don't know much about the price. I don't think you want to sell it. How about you take it back first?" "

After smoothing things over, they immediately started playing hard to get, otherwise the mirror would definitely be ruined, so there was still a glimmer of hope!

Sure enough, the woman hesitated after hearing this, and she didn't know how to place her outstretched hand.

Ding Mao quickly took advantage of the situation and said: "Hey, eldest sister, I'm really sorry. I'm young and don't understand very well. You see, I've been trained. Why don't you stay here for a while?"

The woman was a little embarrassed and said, "Look, you have already agreed on the price, and why are you regretting it again?"

Ding Mao quickly explained: "It's not that I regret it, it's that I really don't understand it. I just learned from my father's experience, and he still has to make the decision!"

Ding Xian also quickly said: "Yes, big sister! The kid quoted a random price. He saw me selling a similar one before and thought it was worth that price! But this year is different, you really paid the price the kid said, I guess we have to pay for the car and gas!"

Seeing Ding Xian's embarrassed look, the woman stopped being entangled and said, "You guys quoted the price yourself, and you can't think of it one by one. Isn't this just teasing us? No matter who has something, he can still give it to me." Why sell you!"

Someone around me immediately said, "That's right. I've already said it's 500. One spits and one nail. If it doesn't make any money, just treat it like it. Just take it away!"

Ding Xian still said in embarrassment: "Sister, you don't know, the year of my case is quite different, it's not a matter of making money or not, the key is to pay less!"

"It's up to you to decide whether you want to pay or not. We don't know. Anyway, if you want to collect things from our village, you have to be realistic and don't keep your word!"

At this time, the young woman no longer debated whether to sell or not, but hoped that Ding Mao and the others would accept the mirror!

Ding Xian pretended to be angry and scolded Ding Mao again: "I'll deal with you when I get back. Children don't know what to say!"

Ding Mao also lowered his head in cooperation, and couldn't help but admire his father's reaction ability.

Then Ding Xian hurriedly smiled apologetically at the women and the others and said, "Hey! The kids have already spoken out. It's really not appropriate for me not to accept it. Can you give me a little price? Don't let me lose too much!"

"We've agreed on a price, so what's the deal? Let's promote it to you more and ask you to charge more in the village. Then we'll have everything!"

Ding Xian pretended to wipe the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, 500, just 500. I really need to trouble you to help publicize it, otherwise I will really lose money on this trip!"

After saying that, he still had some "reluctance" and counted the money and handed it to the woman, and the actor in footwear gave Ding Mao a mirror.

"You take the price you mentioned, and the amount of compensation you go back will be deducted from your pocket money!"

"Brother, don't talk about the child. He is also kind-hearted and wants to help you. I know who has something, so I will ask them for you to see if they can sell it!"

"Oh, thank you so much, sister!"

Ding Xian quickly put on a happy look, bowed and thanked him.

After the two women left, Ding Mao showed a happy expression and said, "Dad, your reflexes are amazing!"

Ding Xian also smiled and shook his head, knowing in his heart that this mirror must be a very good thing. Although it went through some twists and turns, he finally got it!

The two women walked back, still whispering.

"Sister, did you see the man's reaction just now? He was so anxious that he was sweating. He must have really paid a high price for it!"

"Well, if you want to go back on the agreed price, there's no way! I just thanked my sister-in-law for helping me talk, otherwise he might really go back on it!"

"Hey! We are from the same village, so we must speak to our own people!"

"By the way, sister-in-law, have you heard about it? Didn't Yuan Shuhai fall while riding a motorcycle some time ago? Do you think you can find someone to look into the matter and tell him what's in the way?"

"What? I really haven't heard of it!"

"Didn't Yuan Shuhai's daughter-in-law have a pair of bottles? What's wrong with her painting? She painted a camp gate shooting a halberd. As people have said, the person who shot it was his old Yuan family. If he doesn't deal with it, there will be trouble!"

"What a coincidence. You just told the person who received the goods that you knew someone who had something, so it was this one!"

"That's right! Yuan Shuhai is recuperating at home, and his family is taking care of him. He probably didn't hear anyone coming to collect the goods, otherwise he would have sold them out earlier. My sister-in-law will go with me later, and the price for receiving the goods is not bad. , then both parties will be able to sell well!”

"Okay, then my sister-in-law will accompany you later!"

……

With the enthusiastic help of these two women, Ding Mao and the others received the goods very easily, and almost all the goods they looked after were sold.

Now, including the pair of Cheng Yuxin's camp-shooting halberds at home, Ding Mao already had two pairs of camp-gate shooting halberds in his hands. This made him sigh that he was really destined to this picture.

However, this pair was produced by Qunyi Art Gallery and is basically complete, with only a little bit of damage.

Qunyi Painting Gallery was a famous porcelain workshop during the Republic of China, also known as the Red Gallery. The very famous Mao Zirong and Pan Zhaotang were its members.

However, what really makes Ding Mao most satisfied, apart from the mirror, are a pair of alum red and gold-painted human hammer bottles, and a pair of 300-piece square bottles made of Pan Zhaotang's ancient figures, tigers with rings in their mouths.

Pan Zhaotang was a famous porcelain painter in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. His works mainly featured light crimson and pastel figures, with a bright style and vivid characterizations. Common paintings include historical themes, ladies, and fashion figure paintings.

Unlike usual, this time Ding Mao and the others rushed to the next town near noon, and by coincidence, today happened to be the town's big market.

When his father parked the car, Ding Mao went down alone to buy some fruits and cooked food.

As he was walking towards the car carrying his things, a thin old man in shabby clothes walked towards him with a smile.

When he got close to Ding Mao, the old man quickly and naturally grabbed Ding Mao's free hand, smiled and patted Ding Mao on the shoulder, and then walked in again when Ding Mao was stunned for no reason. crowd.

When the old man let go of his hand, Ding Mao obviously felt that there was something in his hand. He opened it blankly and saw a piece of paper with ugly handwriting and a large five-element cloth-backed seven-star turtle and snake sword. .

It's very beautiful for the money, and you can see that it has been used for a long time. The patina is oily and natural, and the diameter is about 27.5mm.

Ding Mao reacted and when he turned around to see the old man again, his figure had already disappeared into the crowd and disappeared.

So Ding Mao shook his head and smiled bitterly, put the money into his breast pocket, and then read the words on the note.

I saw that the font was crooked, but I could recognize the handwriting. There were only eight words written: When you encounter water, you will be in trouble, and you will return after passing the Jin Dynasty!

Ding Mao couldn't help but be a little confused, and couldn't figure out why the old man gave him these two things.

After this period of harvest, he really sighed at the number of good things in this era, so his original idea of ​​only going to Shanxi Province changed slightly. He also wanted to detour to Henan and Shandong, and collect the goods all the way back from there. !

However, when Ding Mao was lost in thought, a sudden evil wind blew away the note in Ding Mao's hand.

When he came back to his senses, the note was also gone, which made Ding Mao shake his head and smile bitterly.

He naturally understood the meaning of these eight words, but he did not understand what this mysterious old man meant and how he knew the route of his trip.

In short, for the sake of peace of mind, just be careful when encountering water in the future. As for whether the route should go according to the original plan, let’s take it step by step for the time being!
