Chapter 137 A low-value antique
As soon as Qin Sisi stepped into the door, a middle-aged man of medium stature and overweight came forward and greeted with a smile: "Please come in, girl, what are you looking for?"

Qin Sisi came here to buy something, but she wasn't sure what to buy, so she replied, "I'll take a look first."

"Okay, okay, let me introduce you. There are wood carvings here, jade and porcelain over there, and there are some calligraphy and paintings of famous people inside. Miss, what do you like?" The fat boss greeted with a smile on his face.

Although the boss's attitude is also very enthusiastic, but Qin Sisi always feels that his eyes and smile are a bit wretched, which is far different from Boss Zheng's calm and gentle temperament.

Qin Sisi walked slowly in front of the shelves and counters, scanning the dazzling array of products one by one, but didn't see anything special, and Ye You remained silent.

The boss followed behind attentively, kept asking Qin Sisi's needs, and recommended several ornaments with unique shapes and bright colors to her.

Ye You always kept silent, Qin Sisi stopped helplessly, pointed to a porcelain with pictures of ancient ladies and said to the boss: "Boss, that porcelain is very beautiful, I want to have a look."

"Okay, okay." The boss nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and quickly entered the counter, and took down the piece of porcelain.

"The girl has a real eye. This piece of porcelain was dug out from an ancient Tang Dynasty tomb last year. Look at the texture, the luster, and the figure of the beautiful woman on it, right?"

This piece of porcelain is about [-] centimeters high, and the woman painted on it has a round face and a plump figure, which indeed feels a bit like the prosperous Tang Dynasty.The glaze is smooth and the color is bright, which is very ornamental.

Qin Sisi admired it for a while, and thought it looked pretty good, so she bought it as a decoration.

So Qin Sisi asked: "Boss, how can I sell this piece of porcelain?"

The boss said with a look of embarrassment: "Girl, to tell you the truth, I also like this piece of porcelain very much. I didn't plan to sell it at first, but since the girl has taken a fancy to it, I have to reluctantly give it up. The girl looks like a real person. So don’t lie, just earn the travel expenses, the one-buy price is 5 yuan.”

Qin Sisi was caressing the smooth surface of the porcelain. When the boss said the price, she suddenly retracted her hand and widened her eyes: "5 yuan?"

Although she has 5 yuan, since Yeyou didn't speak, it means that it is just an ordinary piece of porcelain. It is too extravagant to buy a decoration at home for 5 yuan.

The boss quickly said, "This is porcelain from the Tang Dynasty. After so many years, it is still preserved so well. It is very rare."

Yeyou raised his head in Qin Sisi's arms, yelled a few words, and reminded: "This is not an antique, it's just a handicraft, it was completed about a month ago, and it can be bought in shops outside. A hundred dollars is enough."

Qin Sisi's complexion became ugly, and she felt a little annoyed by the fat boss's rambling self-promotion.

"It's too expensive, I'd better look at other things." Qin Sisi shook her head apologetically at the fat boss, then turned and walked towards the calligraphy and painting area.

With the lessons learned from the piece of porcelain just now, Qin Sisi did not dare to ask the price casually, but stretched out her hand and gently squeezed Yeyou's back.

Ye You turned his head to the side, his purple eyes were radiant, and his slightly sharp eyes glanced at the row of ink paintings of landscapes, flowers and birds, and he didn't make a sound, but shook his head slightly.

Qin Sisi had no choice but to go to the wood carving area again. There were several rows of wood carvings in different shapes on the shelves, including Buddha statues with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, big ears and square lips, fairies with slim figures and fluttering dresses, and auspicious gourds, wishful spirits. kind.

Seeing Qin Sisi walking around, the fat boss asked the price and thought it was too expensive, the smile on his face gradually faded, he walked up to him patiently and said: "Girl, if you want to get cheap, you can buy a wood carving, the wood carving The price is cheaper."

Qin Sisi nodded hesitantly, she must buy one anyway, for peace of mind.

Qin Sisi pointed to a mahogany carved, soft-colored wooden Ruyi, and asked the fat boss to take it down, and asked the price, and the fat boss asked for [-] yuan.

Although it is still a little expensive, but considering the face of the peach wood bracelet, Qin Sisi feels that it is barely acceptable.

At this time, Yeyou suddenly called out to Qin Sisi's ears a few times.

Qin Sisi looked in the direction Yeyou said, and saw a black wooden comb lying flat on a corner of the glass counter, it was just a very ordinary wooden comb, let alone the legendary gold inlaid Silver, not even a pattern.

Qin Sisi frowned quietly. Compared with the porcelain painted with ancient ladies and the mahogany carved Ruyi just seen, the appearance of this black wooden comb is really low.

But since Yeyou recommended it, there must be his reasons. People should not be judged by their appearances, and maybe things should not be judged by their appearances either.

Qin Sisi put her hand on the counter and landed on the corresponding position of the black wooden comb. After thinking for a while, she moved her hand a little forward, pointed to a mahogany wooden comb carved with the pattern of phoenix dancing and auspicious clouds, and asked: "Where is this comb?" How do you sell the comb?"

The fat boss saw that Qin Sisi was a little bit interested in that mahogany Ruyi, and was still secretly happy just now, but Qin Sisi suddenly changed his mind again.

The fat boss was a little displeased, but he also saw that Qin Sisi was not a rich man, so he decided to quote a slightly lower price, because he couldn't make a lot of money, so it would be better to make a little money!
The fat boss turned his mind quickly and said, "These little things are not worth much. If the girl likes them, I will give you an auspicious price, six thousand and six."

While talking, the fat boss opened the counter and took out the mahogany comb carved with the pattern of phoenix dancing and auspicious clouds, and put it in front of Qin Sisi.

Because it was just a test, Qin Sisi didn't touch it with his hands, but only glanced lightly, then pointed to the black wooden comb recommended by Yeyou and said, "Let me take a look at that one again."

The fat boss's face changed slightly, and he couldn't tell what emotion he was in. He just bent down silently and took out the black wooden comb from the counter, and put it next to the mahogany comb.

This black wooden comb was bought from an antiquities peddler in the countryside. According to the peddler, it was bought from someone in a ravine, and finally sold to the fat boss for 200 yuan.

Although this black wooden comb looks old, but because of its low appearance, no one cares about it after a year in the counter. The fat boss is not pleasing to his eyes, and he plans to withdraw it from the counter in the next few days. .

At this moment, Qin Sisi suddenly asked, the fat boss felt both happy and sad. The happy thing was that it was a worry after selling it; the sad thing was that this item couldn't be sold for a good price.

"Boss, how do you sell this black one?" Qin Sisi really asked for a price.
