Chapter 239

Those who do business are most afraid of official positions, especially those who are not very clean in their own foundation. When they encounter official positions, they are like encountering ghosts in the middle of the night.

But the shopkeeper Fang has been in the ground in the capital for many years and is well-informed. At this time, he calmed down and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is joking. I am just doing business with my own mind. I really don't know what the situation of those native masters are."

After hearing this, Zhou Shaobai sneered, deliberately delayed his voice, imitating the tone of the official master and said, "Take it serious?"

The shopkeeper Fang nodded quickly and said, "Take it seriously, absolutely seriously, you must be honest!"

"Okay!" Zhou Shaobai smiled, picked up the teacup and sniffed it gently, slowly sipped it in his mouth, let the tea water fully soak the tea on his tongue, and felt the fragrance of the tea, and became the style of a master. Then he raised his hand lazily and pointed to the screen behind the counter and said, "Why did the screen come from that shopkeeper? Didn't it come from the tomb?"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper Fang and the young man looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, his heart fell back into his stomach, and he said with a secret smile: "A layman is an layman!"

Manager Fang sat up straight, smiled, and said calmly: "Mr. Zhou, you don't know that the screen that was buried with you has never been only a stone screen, and I have never heard of a wooden screen that was buried with you."

The young man was listening and couldn't help laughing out loud, saying that Zhou Shaobai was ignorant in front of experts, making him angry that he was scolded for no reason. Unexpectedly, when the shopkeeper Fang saw that he had lost his character, he glared at him again, scared him so much that he quickly cursed his smile and stood up straight.

Zhou Shaobai raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "Oh, so that's the case. I really didn't know it before. Thank you for the advice from the shopkeeper."

Manager Fang hurriedly said: "It is normal for Lord Zhou to have specialized in his skills and do not know the tricks."

Zhou Shaobai lowered his head and held the teacup, stared at a tea leaf floating up and down in a daze, and said, "Yes, after all, I don't know much about cultural and antiques. But I had nothing to do before, and I briefly read the "Medicine Sutra" and vaguely remembered that it recorded a strange tree called red iron stone wood, which was produced in the Western Manchu area."

Manager Fang was stunned when he heard this. He was not pharmacological. He didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd. He had to continue listening uneasyly.

"The red iron stone wood grows very slowly. If it is to grow, it will take at least two or three hundred years. The root of this tree is called the Red Earth Dragon. It is a rare medicinal material. I have forgotten what its effects, but it doesn't matter. What is important is that after the red iron stone wood grows, the wood is solid and heavy, with a long-lasting fragrance, and it will not rot when it encounters water or when it encounters insects. If it is used to make a coffin, the body will be placed in it. After a hundred years, it will still be unrotten and immortal, and will be as intact as before. Therefore, this wood is extremely precious and many people are looking for it at a high price."

Zhou Shaobai finished slowly. The face of the shopkeeper Fang was extremely ugly. He forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Zhou was so proficient in medicinal materials, but I wonder what Lord Zhou meant when he said this?"

Zhou Shaobai smiled and said, "As soon as I entered this hall, I smelled a strange fragrance. So after looking carefully, I realized that the strange fragrance should have come from the four screens of the mahogany inlaid with shells and flowers on the counter. Boss Fang, if I guess correctly, this screen is made of red iron and stone wood. No, to be precise, it should have been made of the coffin in the tomb and taken out the red iron and stone wood."

The shopkeeper Fang was shocked and laughed and said, "Mr. Zhou, this is wrong. It is true that many people use red iron and stone wood to make coffins, but there are also wealthy people who use this kind of good wood to make furniture. Red mouth and white teeth, you can't say that my screen is made of coffin board without any evidence!"

After hearing this rebuttal, Zhou Shaobai smiled slightly and said, "Shopkeeper Fang is right. When we work as a businessman, we should pay more attention to evidence and make people convinced."

After saying that, Zhou Shaobai suddenly put down the tea bowl, stood up, walked into the back of the counter, stood in front of the screen, and looked carefully.

Manager Fang was shocked, hurriedly got up and followed behind in small steps, and said nervously: "Mr. Zhou, my store really doesn't have it..."

Zhou Shaobai waved his hand and looked at the screen with all his attention.

The screen was divided into four fans. Zhou Shaobai looked closer and felt that the carving was extremely meticulous, but he didn't bother to appreciate it, but he focused on searching.

Sure enough, soon Zhou Shaobai saw what he was looking for.

He smiled slightly, pointed to the eyes of a relief crane on the screen and asked, "Shopkeeper Fang, look at this."

The shopkeeper Fang looked at it in fear and saw that the crane's eyes were engraved, which was no different from the eyes of other cranes. He couldn't help but say, "The eyes of this crane are all right."

Zhou Shaobai smiled and said, "It's nothing wrong? Look carefully. The pupils of the crane's eyes are not round, but have edges."

When the shopkeeper Fang heard this, he was shocked and looked carefully. Then he realized that what Zhou Shaobai said was indeed true. He suddenly thought of something, and his face turned pale and sweated like rain.

The guy next to him was very surprised and asked, "So what if there are edges and edges?"

Zhou Shaobai replied: "Do you know why the only crane has edges and edges, but the crane next to it is not like this?"

The young man naturally didn't know that Zhou Shaobai said, "Because of the location of this eye, there was originally a seven-star nail nail. The body of the seven-star nail has seven edges, so the nail holes have edges and corners. The seven-star nail is used to nail the lid of the coffin to prevent corpses from becoming transformed."

The young man was stunned and suddenly realized. The shopkeeper next to him couldn't help but argue. Zhou Shaobai suddenly opened his eyes wide and said angrily: "At this point, you still refuse to admit the account, right? Okay, take you back and let the coroner carefully examine the corpse gas contaminated on the screen! Then see what else you can say!"

It turned out that he saw that the shopkeeper refused to submit, so he simply changed his face on purpose and scared him before talking about it.

The shopkeeper of the house could no longer hold on. He thrust his knees and cried, "Mr. Zhou! Grandpa Zhou! My old house is just a serious businessman, and I don't know that the screen was actually made of a coffin board! I was deceived by Wu Laoliu!"

The young man next to him also knelt down and said loudly: "This screen was brought by Wu Laoliu, it really has nothing to do with us! Wu Laoliu, you have caused us a lot!"

When Zhou Shaobai heard this, he quickly asked, "Who is Wu Laoliu?"

"Wu Laoliu is a dealer and often sells good things in my store. By the way, I always suspect that he is a master!" The shopkeeper of the house looked red and said hurriedly, "He also brought this screen, and he lied to us that it was collected from a wealthy family who fell into the family, but it was a coffin board! Lord, this matter has nothing to do with us! Please observe clearly by Lord Zhou!"

As he said that, the shopkeeper and the young man were so anxious that he kowtowed to Zhou Shaobai.
