Shengshibaojian

Shen Qiu just weighed the green-brown stone in his hands, and was not in a hurry to appraise the stone.

Since he mastered the essence of "The Divine Book of Astronomical Phenomena", he first looked at the facial features of the old man Mao when he entered the door. This person's facial features are rough, thick eyebrows and sharp eyes, big mouth and big nose, and his words and deeds reveal a fierceness.

Especially when he angrily reprimanded Zhu Xiaogang just now, his eyes burst out with fierce evil spirit, which shows that this person must not be a kind person when he was young. Judging from the way he looked at people, at least his hands were stained with blood. .

Shen Qiu also saw other qualities in this person.

Although this person speaks openly, his upper court point, middle court point, and lower court point are all on the same line. What does this mean? A man who cannot live with secrets.

The so-called treasures are first judged by people, this is absolutely true, if there is a problem with this person, the baby will not be much better, and the collection of good or bad character can be seen twice.

"boom!"

Uncle Mao slapped the table with a bang: "I'll tell you the truth, I was a bandit when I was young, and I snatched this thing from a few people who were dressed in tatters and spoke authentically. The Peking dialect, he should have fled back from Peking at that time!"

"I can see that they are wearing the clothes of warlords. Basically, they are deserters who ran back from Beiping. When the devils invaded our country, those guys not only dare not fight with the devils, but also carry their own blood. When the baby ran back, I was furious! I gave them a few bullets and sent them to report to Lord Yama!"

"This inconspicuous stone was found from those deserters at the time. I was deeply impressed at the time. They hid the stone in a very secret place and wrapped it with dirty cotton in many layers. Then I mixed it among a few rotten vegetable leaves, and I immediately saw that this stone is not simple, it must be a valuable thing, otherwise they would not wrap it so tightly as a treasure!"

"There is another very important detail. When I found this stone, my colleague smelled a natural floral fragrance on it. How should I put it! It is like the fragrance of autumn chrysanthemums, very strong, and later this The scent of flowers has lasted for many years, and now there is only the smell of my old man's stinky feet!"

Uncle Mao took a deep drag on his cigarette and continued: "Why should I sell it? Because I went to the army later and found a group of like-minded brothers to fight devils. This has been said for decades, old man I'm getting old, and the only thing I care about now is the group of brothers who fought devils with me back then! I have a wish! I want to bring all those brothers to Jiangcheng. We have been comrades in arms for decades. Let's get together Get together to catch up on the past! Recall the scenes of beating devils back then!"

"Besides, I can't bring this thing into the coffin, so I just took it out and sold it for money, and it's right to be the travel expenses of my brothers! Hehe! They are all belongings outside the body. If you don't live or die, you don't take it with you!"

"Uncle Mao!"

Zhu Xiaogang had a foul mouth, and couldn't help saying: "The most indispensable thing in the antique business is a good storyteller. Your story sounds a bit mysterious, and it's as unreliable as your stone! Otherwise, you How about another gimmick?"

"Hey you brat! Looking for a beating!"

It was good for Zhu Xiaogang not to speak, but when he spoke, the old man's fiery temper was aroused again: "You bastard, what are you talking about! I have to make up such a story in order to sell you stones? Look at my arm! Look at my arm! Chest! Look at my back!"

Uncle Mao stood up violently, rolled up his sleeves, and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing Shen Qiu's shriveled body, as well as a few unusually conspicuous bullet wounds. There were almost seven or eight wounds, big and small.

"Don't, don't, don't!" Xie Jingwen hurried up to persuade the old man: "Don't do this, Mr. Mao, I believe you! I believe you! We believe that you have been a soldier and fought devils before!"

"Okay! Trust me and stop talking nonsense, hurry up and pay for this stone. I'm still waiting for this money to treat my old comrades to dinner! 10 yuan! If not, [-] yuan will do!"

Xie Jingwen said with a look of embarrassment: "Master Mao, are you embarrassing me? I have seen your stone just now. It is an ordinary granite stone, and this kind of striped granite is very distinctive. There is no such size in the whole country." , but on the General Mountain in Jiangcheng, the entire mountain is covered with stones like this, which belong to your kind..."

"Ah..." Uncle Mao was at a loss for words immediately: "How is that possible! I, Mao Zhiyuan, swear that I really found it from some soldiers back then, and I really smelled the fragrance of flowers at that time. If I, Mao Zhiyuan, had If you tell half a lie, you will die! There will be five thunders from the sky!"

Zhu Xiaogang shook his head and said: "Mr. Mao, please stop swearing. Our store is a time-honored antique store. We always have one thing to say about treasures, and we will never deceive people. Brother Shen is also here. If you If you don’t believe me, you can ask Big Brother Shen to help you identify it, Big Brother Shen is Jiangcheng’s master appraiser, he won’t lie to you casually!”

Uncle Mao's gaze fell on Shen Qiu's body. Shen Qiu had been observing this granite stone as early as when they were arguing. When he saw the subtleties, he especially rubbed the rock surface with his keychain. Twice.

"Shen Qiu! Let's put it this way, I'm here for your fame. I heard that you even dare to point out the Shen family's fakes, which shows that the steelyard in your heart is the most fair. You come and tell me about it. Whether the stone is worth money or not, I don't believe what other people say!"

Old man Mao became a little emotional, he put his last hope on Shen Qiu, although money was not important to him, but he was really eager to bring all his comrades in arms for decades to Jiangcheng first.

Shen Qiu didn't speak, but showed a faint smile.

It was Zhu Xiaogang who habitually said: "Mr. Mao, don't make things difficult for us, Brother Shen. Brother Shen is famous for being a good person. In my opinion, there is a high probability that you bought this stone from a liar. We can understand your old man's mentality of wanting to take this opportunity to make a small fortune!"

"Okay, Xiaogang, stop talking!" Shen Qiu gestured to stop Zhu Xiaogang, stood up and bent down to refill the tea for Uncle Mao, and then lit a cigarette for him.

"Uncle Mao! I saw this stone just now. Boss Xie is right. The material outside is our Jiangcheng's unique granite. This is absolutely true."

what……

Uncle Mao frowned: "Oh! Could it be that I was mistaken and took a stinky stone from a latrine as a treasure! Fortunately, I have been hiding it for so many years, and it is actually an ordinary stone! Oops!"

Uncle Mao was extremely disappointed, thinking that the gathering of comrades in arms would be ruined, and his eyes were moist with anxiety.

Who knew that Shen Qiu changed the subject: "Mr. Mao, wait a minute, I haven't finished talking yet! How much did you say this stone cost?"

"One hundred thousand! Eighty thousand is fine? But now it's just an ordinary stone let alone eighty thousand. No one will ask for eight dollars!"

Shen Qiu patted his thigh and said: "No one invited us to come! This Shitou Xuan Baozhai wants it! I asked Boss Xie to give you 20 first! What do you think?"

20?

Xie Jingwen and Zhu Xiaogang next to him were dumbfounded at the same time. They didn't question Shen Qiu's ability to appraise treasures, but guessed that Shen Qiu must have seen the origin of it, otherwise it would be impossible to give 20 to Uncle Mao at once.

"20? Didn't Shen Qiu make fun of me, old man! You said it was ordinary granite, how could you get 20? You're not kind! You're kidding me!"

"Uncle Mao! Don't worry about this matter, I can decide on this stone myself! Let Boss Xie give you the money immediately!" Shen Qiu winked at Xie Jingwen without hesitation.

"This... 20 stones? What the hell do you mean! Shen Qiu! You've confused me! I'm not dreaming!"

Shen Qiu stood up and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha... You are a happy person, Mr. Mao, and I won't hide it from you anymore! That's right, I just said that the stone material of this thing is granite, and that is only limited to the outer layer The rock wall of yours, your rock is not simple, but there is another universe inside!"
