Chapter 570: The Talisman on the Door
In the industry of antiques and old objects, most people are very taboo about ghosts and gods. After all, they are antiques, although they may not necessarily be buried with them, but they must be the belongings of the deceased. The most taboo thing for people who are dealing with this all the time is that it is contaminated with something.
Some weird causes and effects, or simply encountered some evil things, so I never mentioned ghosts and gods verbally. I had no choice but to just say "dirty things" and let it go in a flash.
The same is true for Zheng Langhui, but his words revolve around "it's dark" endlessly, and the wording is particularly strong. How can I not know what he means?
Just as he was about to ask, the door of the house opened with a bang, and a shirtless fellow moved out of the house, panting heavily while carrying a heavy vat, walking like a crab.
, it was extremely cold and cold, and the sweat turned into ice as soon as it came out, so that the back looked a bit smoky.
"Hey, look at this!"
The man yelled in somewhat stiff Chinese, but when he turned around and saw a few of us, his expression changed, his smile gradually disappeared, and his face became gloomy. As soon as he stepped down the steps, he put the big vat in his arms "
He dropped it to the ground with a thump, pointed at the door and shouted: "Who let you in? You are not welcome here, get out!!"
The smile on Zheng Langhui's face suddenly brightened. He probably knew that we were not here to steal business, and he had already put down his guard against us. He kept winking at me, leaned over and whispered: "Brother, you are so kind.
The communication was not done well..."
I rolled my eyes.
What this guy calls human relations is actually preparation.
In the antique business, the darkest and most deceitful thing is that these gangs come out to collect wild goods and hunt for autumn winds. The list of all kinds of shady activities can fill a book about deception and abduction. The ones in the north are relatively united. The first thing is "painting"
"Pian'er" is probably a group of local people who do this. They get together to discuss carefully and demarcate the scope of their activities. It is almost impossible for outsiders to come in. If each other crosses the boundary, then only white knives go in and red knives go out.
, the south is in chaos. After all, southerners have always been better at making money. They are flexible, courageous, and wild. They dare to do anything. They often bring a group of brothers to fight with each other, and they can beat their brains out.
.
Secondly, after drawing the plot, it is time to prepare. They call it "turning the alley". In fact, it means visiting places, wandering around, and looking for some old objects that have not been discovered by others.
The last step is to do favors. This is what they say. I think it is almost like cheating. You will always connect with the owner of the old object in an extremely accidental manner. Don't doubt the ability of these people.
They always make you feel that you have met a noble person when you meet them, and then quickly gain your trust and favor in a very short period of time. What for? Of course, it is to make you trust them, so that they can easily start trying to trick you.
If he says how much it is, you have to believe how much it is. In the end, you have to be grateful to the person and feel that they have helped. Typically, you have to ask others to count the money for you after selling it to others. This is called the highest level.
This guy said that I wasn't welcome because I didn't do favors. In fact, he was secretly scolding me for being unruly and running into his area. What's more, his eyes were clear - Brother, are you from the south?
Not to mention, Lao Bai used to play in the south.
But I have made my attitude clear. He is just looking for trouble if he doesn't let go. I'm afraid everyone will have to make a fuss face to face. People like this will not understand this. Every step has to be given to me. I just wait for that.
The fellow stared at us angrily for a while, and when the atmosphere was extremely awkward, he stepped forward with a smile and said: "Hey, don't get excited, this is my good buddy, he is here mainly to help me with my eyes."
The fellow's face brightened slightly.
Seeing this, Zhang Xinya took advantage of the situation and said, "Fellow, I see you have a lot of good stuff. Now it's out. What happened?"
I was a little speechless. I felt that this girl must have done it on purpose. While talking, she directly returned the embarrassment Zheng Langhui had caused us.
Look, women are so narrow-minded.
Zheng Langhui's face turned green...
Fortunately, the fellow didn't come back to his senses, or he was distracted. He remained silent for a while with a gloomy expression, shook his head, patted the big vat, and said to Zheng Langhui: "This is the last one.
Give me a price and I have to leave in a while."
This fellow seems to be quite wealthy. I guess he has never resold these things before. Zheng Langhui has gained a lot. The three people he brought are putting many kinds of old silverware into boxes. The fellow is very interested in those things.
He didn't even look at it, but he had a soft spot for this big vat. He gently rubbed it with his rough palms, as if caressing his lover's delicate skin. He even leaned into it and took a few deep breaths, his face full of intoxication.
, glanced at Zheng Langhui with some caution: "Please give me a good price for this, don't be too cheap. This is a real old thing, handed down from my ancestors..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Langhui waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, okay, don't touch it, oh my god, my eyelids jumped when I saw this..."
The fellow rolled his eyes, as if he had seen through you.
"Okay, I won't be stubborn with you!"
Zheng Langhui grabbed Lao Bai out and said, "Come on, let him show you!"
Lao Bai felt helpless under the gaze of the fellow, so he asked the fellow to lower the vat and look at the bottom, and the fellow did so.
"It's from the Song Dynasty, but fellow man, please stop touching it. You don't keep this thing in any serious place."
Lao Bai said with a look of disgust: "In the old society, the toilet was in the yard. A pit was dug, and a large tank was buried underneath. Two boards were placed on top. People squatted on the two boards to pull the toilet. When it was full, the toilet was filled.
Pull it out of the tank, put it in the sun to dry, and then pour it into the ground to be used as fertilizer. This is what your thing is used for..."
The fellow was stunned after hearing this...
Lao Bai also said that this thing is from the farming people, nomadic people don't use it, and it is from the Song Dynasty. It is estimated that his ancestor went south to snatch it back during the war between the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but he didn't have much discernment, so many porcelains.
If you don’t grab it, you have to get this thing. I guess it’s just too big to look at...
The fellow was even more disgusted, nagging that his family used to make yogurt with this stuff, which made us all feel sick. Then he grabbed Zheng Langhui's sleeve and promised to give him a price.
Zheng Langhui got anxious and said, "Why do I need this big shit basin like you?" He tried to talk it over, but finally gave him a few hundred yuan as a token token, but looking at him like that, he probably wasn't going to take him away.
The fellow has a good temperament, and after we struck up a conversation, the two parties gradually became familiar with each other, and at least they no longer chased people away. Lao Bai asked more tactfully, asking the fellow in a roundabout way why he wanted to move.
Even so, the fellow was still very stubborn and refused to speak, but he gave us some hints: "Someone told us that if we want to avoid being contaminated by those things, we must leave here, and never mention it from now on, so that we can avoid it.
, So, it’s not that I won’t tell you, it’s that I can’t tell you, but... there are some people here who refuse to leave, you can ask them, maybe they dare to tell you!”
After saying that, the fellow hurriedly went to work again.
Zheng Langhui was just like when he met us for the first time. After the fellow villagers left, he looked at us carefully. He poked his head out of the door and looked at our car parked on the roadside. My master didn't like to get entangled in these things.
When we came down, after seeing my master's attire, this guy retracted his head, finally looked at us with some respect in his eyes, and cautiously asked: "Brother... you... don't you know that you are not an expert?"
"What do you think?"
I raised my chin at the old silverware next to me, and said with a half-smile: "What price did you charge? I'm afraid it's the same price as the silverware? If we pay it back, how much profit will we make every time? What do you think if we get it?"
Colleagues from the south, can you show off your beauty today?"
"Got it, got it!"
Zheng Langhui nodded repeatedly: "Then... leave your contact information? You know, people like us like to make friends with people like you the most!"
He bites the word "three friends" very hard, of course I understand the meaning.
This kind of person has a high chance of getting into that kind of thing. It’s just that if he gets into that kind of thing, someone is really wronged and gets fucked up for no reason. This kind of person is a serious monk and would be willing to lend a helping hand. No.
For other reasons, that is, the rules between yin and yang cannot be broken, and some people just deserve it, saying the word "profit" back and forth, living for profit, and dying for profit, they can't blame others. The matter of this kind of people must be solved, then
You have to bleed.
This guy is emphasizing this matter, just to tell me - little brother, look at me, look at me, you big fat pig, you can kill it when the matter is settled!
I had no choice but to leave him a contact information. This guy was very shameless. When he came up to me, he stuffed something into my pocket and said it was his business card. After that, I felt it was heavy and thick in my pocket, and my heart moved.
, with a smile on his face, he said: "We can make friends, but we are not here to enjoy the sights, so it is not easy to get started. What do you know?"
"No more than you!"
Speaking of this, Zheng Langhui was also quite helpless: "Brother, I have been dealing with these people for half my life, and I have never met such a tight-lipped person. They didn't tell me what happened specifically...
In fact, I have been eyeing this place for a long time. There are a lot of old things, but they won't sell them. What can I do? You can't buy and sell by force. That means you don't follow the rules. You can cheat and kidnap. The premise is that you are voluntary.
After doing that forced thing, if you look down upon others in the future, you will be looked down upon, and there will be no place for you to talk in the industry.
This time, when a few brothers were passing by, they saw a talisman posted in front of someone's house. The brothers thought that something was wrong. They came over and fooled around, and all the people who were unwilling before were willing. It was considered a pick-up.
It’s on.”
"symbol?"
"That's right, a talisman! But I don't know what talisman it is. I guess you can, but it's obvious. I have all the good talismans with me. What kind of talisman is that on the door?"
