Chapter 0099 – Unlucky Man (II)
In the Pengcheng Flower and Bird Market. There are always some idle people, at the beginning, relying on the thick skin, small means more than the green skin approach, relying on extorting some honest stall owners, mixing a little money to make a living, but after the market rectification, these people have no way out, and so they changed their profession also began to practice stalls, but the dog can’t change to eat shit, still is the trickery, only the object will be changed to the customer only.
A few years ago, Daxiong has not been expanded in the flower and bird market this side of the mixer, Liu Chuan just opened a pet store, Daxiong and monkey the two brothers have been on the door, a few words do not fit, then cracked a door glass Liu Chuan, that will be Liu Chuan just out of school door not long, usually in the school cross used to, have not adapted to mixing some of the rules of the community, and immediately from the store carrying the workers to renovate the large wrench that forgot to take away, give Daxiong and monkey two goods head full open scoop. It is said that Liu Chuan also chased out dozens of meters away, and froze to let these two people kneel and beg for forgiveness before stopping.
Although Liu Chuan acted recklessly some of the things behind the back or old man stepped in to wipe his ass, but after this matter, Liu Chuan in the antique bird and flower market is also famous, weekdays, those who are idle, close to the point of relations, see the face of the cordial shouting Dachuan, not much to come to terms with, but also will call Liu boss, secretly tripping less people, after all, this world, horizontal afraid of rash, rash afraid of life, but it is just that the Do not want to life, Liu Chuan has not met, plus the relationship of their own old man, nature in the flower and bird market mixed with the wind and water.
I do not know if it is not afraid of Liu Chuan, Daxiong and monkey disappeared for a period of time, and then reappeared, on the antique street set up a stall, but usually see Liu Chuan are avoiding, even if the two later know that sold to Zhuang Rui’s caddis gourd is real, have not dared to go to the door to make trouble, today I do not know why, actually come to the door, but also sitting in the store seriously.
“Aigoo. Dachuan, you can come back, our brother and sister waited for you for half a day?”
Seeing Liu Chuan pushing the door into the store, Daxiong and Monkey immediately stood up from the sofa and greeted them with a smile on their faces.
“Hey, Brother Xiong, Monkey, I didn’t ask you to wait for me! Our store is small, can’t fit two big gods, you two have something to say directly, I have to go out in a while.” Liu Chuan is too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and said straight to the point.
Monkey see Liu Chuan, the heart is afraid, touched the scar on the head, the body backward a few steps, but it is Daxiong before is also considered to be the number one person in this market, although also afraid of Liu Chuan, but this is not to care.
“Da Chuan, it’s like this, last time this buddy of yours. In my that pick up leakage got a three river Liu’s gourd ……”
“Hey, first wait, brother Xiong, you in this market is not a year or two years, right! You know the rules better than I do. I’m looking for my brother after (count) the account?”
Did not wait for Daxiong finished, Liu Chuan interrupted his words, the face is not good up, originally he thought that this early past, did not think that in front of these two goods, actually still have the guts to look for things, it is really remembering to eat do not remember to fight.
“Don …… t, Dachuan, you wait for me to finish the words Well, our brother and sister are not looking for after (counting) the account, it is such a thing ……”
See Liu Chuan will eyes up, put on a look to turn the face, Daxiong waved his hand repeatedly, said such a paragraph, Liu Chuan and Zhuang Rui and other talents know what is going on, face to face, can not help but feel funny in the heart.
The original from the last Zhuang Rui in the hands of Daxiong pick up a leak, and sold a hundred and fifty thousand days after the price, not a few days of work, the whole antique market know, Daxiong that is the bowels are repenting, hard slap himself a few times, but he also knows that he can not afford to mess with Liu Chuan, did not dare to come to the door to find things. Can only recognize this dumb loss.
Afterwards, Daxiong in the heart is how to think, how unhappy, more than 100,000 so in vain from the hands of the slipped away, who also have to be anxious, after thinking about it, Daxiong remembered that this object is from Tianjin, he vaguely remembers, when the object in Tianjin, there are still a lot of the stalls of the caddisfly gourd, may be their own to go, and also can run into one.
After the heart of this idea, it was like a cat’s paw, Daxiong is a day can not stay, and then looked for the monkey, the two turned out all the family, and find some relatives and friends, put together 30,000 dollars, Daxiong took the train straight to Tianjin, his uncle’s. To say that the old Tianjin Weiwei, the Republic of China, the old Tianjin Weiwei.
To say that the old Tianjin Wei, in the Republic of China’s period of a special period of time, the degree of prosperity of antiques, it should be said that is far more than the city of Beijing, the reason for this is that there are a lot of the Qing dynasty’s old and young people living in seclusion, the descendants of these eight banners. There is no survival skills, only the ancestors left the old objects, out to sell, which also led to the development of the Tianjin cultural relics market at that time.
Even today, more than half a century later, Tianjin’s antique fever is still flourishing, Daxiong in Tianjin antique market inside a few days, but ceramics and bronze antiques he does not understand, he knows that most of the celebrity paintings and calligraphy are fake, which is more than anyone else knows, a few days down, did not come across a preferred object.
In the big Xiong can not hold out. Ready to go back to Pengcheng, he saw in the antique market, wearing a simple, but very clean old man, like a retired worker, the stall set up more than a dozen grasshopper gourd, Daxiong fancy one of them, and he sold to Zhuang Rui’s gourd of the Three Rivers Liu, extremely similar.
Daxiong and the old man a chat, to understand that the old man is the former Qing dynasty from Beijing to run to the descendants of the eight banners in Tianjin, after the liberation of self-reliance, into the family factory work, the children are also pulling up, but also safe and sound mixed to retirement.
The old man thought that after retirement can live a few days of comfort, but who knows the children unfilial, not only do not give alimony not to say, but also every month to the old man’s retirement pay, angry old man looking for the police station to find the neighborhood committee, but also to take that a few unfilial children have no way, the old man was forced to no way out, which is to think of their own old man was often played with a few of the old things, to find someone to look at it, said that it is worth three to five million, the old man is to the antique market, and then to the antique market. The old man is not to the antique market to set up a stall.
Daxiong himself is singing duet, in the antique market also fooled a lot of people, but and the old man talked for half a day, and did not see people to build bridges, the heart will first believe in three, and then see the old man took out the ancestor dressed in Manchu clothing photos, pointing to the child said that their own time, Daxiong looked at the photo, the child and the old man in front of this does have a few points of resemblance to the heart of the letter of this eight points.
At that time, Daxiong pointed out that the suspected three rivers Liu’s caddisfly gourd, the old man opened price is 50,000, a penny without bargaining, said this is their own old man’s relics, if not for the children are unfilial. Said what will not be taken out to sell, Daxiong and the old man half a day, and pay the old man to eat a good meal in a restaurant, the price down to 30,000 yuan, which got the caddisfly gourd, and could not help but be happy to take the train back to Pengcheng overnight.
Daxiong the next day with the gourd, found the Lv shopkeeper, please give him a palm eye, Lv old man took the past look at a while, directly to the generation, is an old imitation, there are some years, it should be in the eighties of the object, imitation of the craft is not bad, it can be worth a hundred or eighty dollars.
Daxiong was angry face is green, one to hate that old son of a bitch play really, two to hate in front of the old man Lv speak damage, more than ten years ago, also said is a little old, but Daxiong this body, even then return to tianjin’s ticket money is not, he also knows that the acting skills of the old crooks, is not going to stay there, waiting for their own go to find the back (counting), and then again, the matter can not be said, their own! Find that old man, also take others can not help.
Originally counted on this object to earn a fortune on the big Xiong, this time is completely dumbfounded, not to say that their own family all lost into the bottom, and even owed relatives and friends a few thousand dollars, he can be some poor relatives, see his prodigal son, this is the money lent to him, and now I heard that is to do the antique business lost, each and every one of them looking for the door, almost to the threshold of the house to be stomped on, which makes the big Xiong even the heart of the bank robbery have.
Finally, the monkey gave an idea, he heard the market inside the past few days spread, said Liu Chuan ran to Tibet to buy a few purebred mastiffs, are worth a few million, the two together, they have been in the antique market for so many years, but the money did not earn, but now owes a butt of debt, and Liu Chuan young, a few years down the time on the family millions of dollars.
Daxiong and monkey decided to find Liu Chuan said, can not point out a way to make money, or to Liu Chuan also work, they know, Liu Chuan to their own people, that is very generous.
After listening to this twisted and bizarre story above, Liu Chuan is also some tears and laughter, and the side of the Zhuang Rui is gloating, who let this guy’s stomach even farts can not be put, a young mastiff millions of rumors, I’m afraid it is also his own flaunting out.
“I said a few brothers, I went to Tibet this time, it is good luck to come across these two young mastiffs,” Liu Chuan said while pointing to the feet of the two little guys running happily, and then said: “I’m preparing to do some other business, that is, the store, I guess the future also came to less, let me how to take care of your brother and sister ah! How can I take care of you two?”
“Da Chuan, from you come to this market, buddy although you have given you trouble, also by your lesson is not light, but our brother and sister heart are convinced, this also has three or four years it! Our brother and sister did not mess with things, but also considered to be reformed, but mixed to the present, immediately even a mouth meal can not eat, said Dachuan brother you benevolent, pull us a hand!”
Daxiong heard the meaning of Liu Chuan’s words to shirk, now also do not care about the face, out of the words to plead, and then looked to Zhuang Rui, said: “This brother, that three rivers Liu’s gourd was bought by you, only blame my own eyesight, we never thought to make up for it back, today you can help to say a few words ah!”
