Chapter 12 The Glowing Walnut
Yanggu is generally rich, but lacks the ability to identify. He believes whatever others say, and never listens to advice. They spend at least tens of thousands of yuan on street stalls in antique markets every year.
Of course, people are rich and not stupid. They know that they don’t understand, so they usually ask people to help buy things. Unless they say that what he asked was not human, they were cheated by an agent and a antique dealer, and they were slaughtered.
So under normal circumstances, there are still relatively few sheep. It would be nice to meet one in a year, so it is naturally behind the blind bear.
Anyway, every stall owner treats Yanggu with the most pious attitude, just like a blind bear trying to get a bargain, and the stall owner also wants to meet Yanggu and get a big one.
In contrast, the last level of the shrimp in the collector group is somewhat unpopular with stall owners.
Shrimp refers to small shrimps, which is potential players. These people come from all aspects, including tourists, students who come to play, and foreigners who come to hunt for curiosity when they have nothing to do.
Generally speaking, shrimps like to buy some weird and beautiful things the most. If you don’t ask for it, it’s just for fun.
For these small shrimps, stall owners often dare not open their mouths and offer high prices. Because they do not have to buy things, and the price will often scare them away.
So, stall owners can also treat medical treatment and take medicine. When they encounter shrimps, they will directly sell some strange and not very valuable cheap things. Usually, they can be sold for a few dozen yuan, and only earn a little money.
In other words, small shrimps are equivalent to chicken ribs, and they are tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to discard them. After all, no matter how small the shrimps are, they are still meat. They can’t eat big fish and meat. Then, chewing some small shrimps can taste the taste.
Setting up a stall is not easy, you can make a little profit, and you don’t care about that much.
Of course, such a level division can only be used as a general reference. You should know that the depth of the rivers and lakes is that even the most powerful eagle is still a time to get a look. The little shrimps are full of luck and can still find big leaks.
The collection industry is full of uncertainties, which makes people flock to it. The same sentence is still the same, don’t listen to stories, just look at things. If you see it correctly, you think the price is appropriate, and start decisively...
Qi Xiang held the box and looked at it for a while. After studying it, he knew that Master Wei did not deceive him, this little bug.
This box is really good, with a relatively well-made workmanship and not large in size. It is just right to hold your five fingers together on your palm. On the outer wall of the box, there are also beautiful bamboo leaves patterns carved, which has a bit elegant feeling.
Qi Xiang weighed it gently and felt that the box was quite heavy and had some weight.
"Dongdong!"
Qi Xiang knocked lightly and heard a dull sound. The wood is hard and the texture is fine, so it should be...
"Roodwood!"
Qi Xiang's eyes were slightly brighter. He was sure now that even if the box wood was not precious varieties such as rosewood, yellow rosewood, and golden nanmu, it should be a relatively high-end wood.
In short, such a thing is worth buying.
"It's worthy of being an eagle, with sharp eyes and shiny..." Qi Xiang sighed in her heart, and opened the box, ready to notice the internal situation.
It was only then that he was surprised to find that something was actually contained in the box.
Qi Xiang was stunned and stared at it intently. She saw a pair of walnuts in the box, walnuts covered with cracks.
For a moment, Qi Xiang's eyes were a little stagnant and he was surprised and confused. He looked carefully and suddenly there was a very strong sense of contrast, which made him feel very absurd.
This pair of walnuts should be pecans, the kind that cannot be eaten, which is the so-called cultural walnuts.
Picking walnuts is also a trend among the people. Some elderly people take walnuts with any walnuts when they have something to do. Not only do they think it is fun, but they can also exercise their bodies and relax their qi, blood and health.
Generally speaking, after a long time, a layer of moist patina will form on the surface, which is very delicate and beautiful. Qi Xiang has seen similar walnuts, which are as bright as jade and are very pleasing to the eye.
But now, not to mention patina, no one has ever played with this pair of walnuts. The most important thing is that they have not been well maintained at all, so that the whole body of the walnuts cracked, and they are distributed like spiders.
In that case, things are like ripe peaches with skin and flesh.
However, it was such a bad thing that Qi Xiang saw a layer of inspiration on them?
Qi Xiang didn't know how to describe it. Anyway, on the edge of the east and west, there was a halo like water waves, like ripples, rippling and rippling.
When Qi Xiang saw it, he was very suspicious of whether it was his own illusion. He couldn't help but close his eyes hard and opened it again in a few seconds. The rippling of autumn water-like light was still flowing brightly.
What is obviously a bad thing, why does the inspiration float?
Qi Xiang was shocked and shocked, very confused. He turned his eyes and looked at other things.
The items were very normal, without any strangeness. Only the pair of walnuts seemed to have added special effects, and there was always a pale white light flowing, like a pearly aura that he could not ignore.
“What’s going on?”
In shock, Qi Xiang could not contain her curiosity in her heart. She carefully reached out and hesitated for a while before holding the pair of walnuts in her hand.
Some walnuts have a lot of cracks and some are thorny.
But for some reason, as soon as walnut was in Qi Xiang's hands, he saw the circulating light and suddenly became very active, just like a kitten and puppy meeting the owner and acting cute.
At the same time, Qi Xiang also vaguely felt that his palm suddenly had a little cool feeling. Not only that, there was a little trembling in his eyebrows and he was about to move.
"You must buy it..." Qi Xiang made a decision immediately without hesitation.
He was anxious, but Qi Xiang was calm on the surface. He pondered for a while, then put the walnuts back into the box, then found the stall owner, and asked with a smile: "Boss, how do you sell this thing?"
Don’t look at the many things on the stalls, there are many people watching the fun, but there are not many people working on them, and most of them are in a wait-and-see state, so the stall owners are relatively leisurely.
When he saw Qi Xiang coming, the stall owner immediately smiled and turned his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not expensive, only five hundred."
"Is five hundred not expensive?" Qi Xiang frowned, took advantage of the situation and said with a lower price: "two hundred!"
Unexpectedly, the stall owner actually agreed: "It's OK!"
"So smooth..." Qi Xiang was also a little surprised, but her hands were not slow, so she hurriedly paid and handed over.
The stall owner took the money and smiled brighter. He hooked his hand and said, "You have two hundred walnuts left, and you have to count the money in another way."
Qi Xiang was confused for a moment, and when he saw the stall owner's smug smile, he suddenly understood a little.
"...The profitable businessman is actually getting a hook!"
"There are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven. There are even more powerful players."
Seeing this scene, others couldn't help but whisper and talk. Obviously, everyone was not very unfamiliar with the stall owner's methods.
In ancient times, there was an allusion called buying a box and returning a pearl, which means that the main and the second are not distinguished, and the choice is not appropriate. However, in the antique industry, some people do the opposite.
There is a very widely circulated story, which I believe everyone is very clear about. A connoisseur accidentally saw someone feeding a cat with a very expensive antique bowl. He immediately asked to buy a cat and took the opportunity to get the bowl.
Unexpectedly, people had known the preciousness of this antique bowl for a long time, and they were just putting hooks on the cat. It was through this method that I wonder how many cats I sold.
Obviously, the stall owner is the same, probably knowing the background of the box. The reason why he puts walnuts in the box is to take advantage of the people who want to buy the box and take the opportunity to sell the worthless walnuts.
Such a calculation is so cunning.
"Do you still want a box?" the stall owner asked happily: "It's not expensive, it's only two thousand."
Qi Xiang reacted with anger: "No, please keep it for yourself."
While he was talking, he brushed his sleeves, secretly clenched the walnuts, and squeezed out indignation. As soon as he left, a group of people surrounded the stall owner.
"Boss, show me the box..."
"Boss, can the box be cheaper?"
"Boss, what box is this?"
The sound of talking and talking also revealed that most of these people were bugs or blind bears.
These people knew that their level was not good, so they were reluctant to take action. But with Qi Xiang's "beautiful lamp", they of course no longer hesitated and went for the box.
After all, Qi Xiang often goes to the market and is considered a familiar face. Others know that he is not a entrusted person. They also know that what he is interested in will definitely not be bad. If you don’t buy it at this time, when will you wait?
Seeing this situation, Qi Xiang also understood that he was used as a gun by the stall owner. But he was not angry because it was still unknown who suffered losses and who took advantage of the situation.
Qi Xiang quietly played with the walnuts in her hand, but did not leave immediately, and stayed for a while.
Not long after, Mr. Wei walked out with his hands behind his back, his steps were leisurely and very comfortable.
"Master Wei!" Qi Xiang hurriedly met.
Master Wei made a gesture and signaled him not to speak.
Qi Xiang understood it and quickly followed Master Wei to leave the market.
At this time, Mr. Wei apologized: "Xiao Qi, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that the stall owner was actually a monkey spirit, very thief, I'll borrow you to make a bridge and pass by..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Qi Xiang waved his hand and said, "I also know that there must be no simple product for those who dare to travel around the world."
"Yes." Wei Ye deeply agreed: "Now, no one can fool him. If you want to fool him, maybe they pretend to be confused and fool you in the opposite direction."
“That’s it, that’s it.”
Qi Xiang nodded, turned her eyes and said with a smile: "Master Wei, you should have achieved something, right?"
"Haha, there's no point in winning it, I just bought a gadget."
This sentence can be regarded as scratching the itchy part of Master Wei. He stroked his beard and was somewhat happy: "A bracelet costs about a hundred yuan, not worth mentioning..."
That being said, there was a smile in Mr. Wei's eyes that could not be concealed.
