Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 184 Shoes
  After simply eating some, Hu Bayi spoke first.

"Brother Chun Lai, right?"

Li Chunlai also put down the chopsticks he was eating.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Hu Bayi say: "I see that you have been wandering in this market for more than a day or two. Do you have something to sell? Can you show it to us?"

Hearing this, Li Chunlai hesitated for a moment and tightened the bag in his arms, but then he thought of his mission and said: "I have a child. I don't know if it is valuable." valuable?"

Li Chunlai's accent was quite serious, while Bai Jing and Hu Bayi were okay and well-informed, but the fat man was also shocked when he heard these words, and he sounded like a 'child'.

Immediately the fat man asked in surprise: "You want to sell the child?"

Hearing the fat man's words, Bai Jing smiled and said, "Shoes, not children."

The fat man breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the fat man immediately asked: "What shoes are they? Can you show them to us?"

Hu Bayi also nodded and said: "I see that you have been hanging around these days, so you should have some understanding of the price of these shoes, right?"

When Li Chunlai heard what Hu Bayi and Fatty said, he first looked at the plates of meat and vegetables on the table and felt that Hu Bayi and Fatty must be big bosses and met the target requirements.

After struggling for a while, Li Chunlai said, "Okay, let me show you guys a look."

As he spoke, Li Chunlai opened the zipper of the bag, revealing one of the simple-looking shoes. However, before Hu Bayi and Fatty could see clearly what the shoe looked like, Li Chunlai zipped it up again.

Then Li Chunlai looked at the meat and vegetables that had almost been removed from the pot.

Good guy, these four people are also big eaters. Four plates of meat and three plates of vegetables are not enough for these people.

To be honest, the current Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang have this strength, otherwise they would not be able to withstand such a thing.

When Hu Bayi saw this, he immediately shouted: "Brother Six, add two more plates of meat."

After a while, the shop owner Liu Ge brought out two plates of 'upper brain'. This upper brain is the essence of all kinds of meat. It is a piece of meat located at the back of the sheep's neck, on both sides of the spine, and in front of the ribs.

The meat in this part is very tender, with fat and lean meat evenly intertwined, forming a marble-like texture.

Normally, the shop owner will serve this kind of meat to some old customers. Ordinary people who come to eat will not get this treatment at all.

Who knows that Fatty and Hu Bayi are indeed rich now. They go out to restaurants every three days, so they naturally become familiar with the boss.

As soon as the meat was served, the fat man put the meat into the pot and said with a smile: "Brother Six, today's meat slices are pretty good."

After the meat was out of the pot, Hu Bayi continued to fool around.

"Brother Chunlai, if your shoes are worth talking about, they can definitely be sold for a lot of money. Even if you eat meat every day from now on, it will be no problem."

Hearing what Hu Bayi said, Li Chunlai was obviously interested. He seemed to be thinking of a bright future. He swallowed his saliva first, and then thought about it: "I'm tired of eating meat every day. My ideal is to treat this person like me." If the shoes sell for a good price, then when I return to our hometown, I can marry an aunt and have a baby, then my life will be perfect."

Hearing what Li Chunlai said, Hu Bayi also quickly answered: "I remember, didn't you all say that Mizhi's mother-in-law Suide is a Han? If your shoes can be sold for a big price, it won't be a matter of minutes." You can marry Mizhi's mother-in-law." Hearing Hu Bayi's words, Bai Jing and Fatty both laughed.

Now this bastard is actually a PUA person.

But it was obvious that Li Chunlai was really PUA. He seemed to have thought of this beautiful scene and smiled expectantly.

When Hu Bayi saw this, he also felt that it was funny. He immediately pointed at Bai Jing and said, "This is Bai Jing. I am a lifelong friend. He is a professor at Beijing University. He is very knowledgeable about these antique toys. You Let him help you take a look, and then I can give you an offer, right?"

Hearing this, Li Chunlai was obviously a little confused.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi could only continue to persuade: "You have to let us take a closer look at this thing, otherwise we won't be able to give you an offer, right?"

After struggling for a moment, Li Chunlai finally took out the shoes and handed them to Hu Bayi. Hu Bayi couldn't figure out why, so he handed them to Bai Jing again.

Bai Jing took it and saw that he was no longer interested.

Just these shoes, the value is too low, I don’t like them.

But Bai Jing also knew that what Hu Bayi and Fatty's store needed were these low-value real things to attract customers.

He immediately said: "These are simple and unique in style. If I read correctly, they should be common civilian burial styles in the northwest around the mid-Ming Dynasty. If you want me to bid, I'm really not very good at bidding."

When Hu Bayi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Bai Jing and asked, "What do you mean?"

Bai Jing handed the shoes back to Li Chunlai, who had been impatient for a long time, and then said: "The value of this thing is too low. I don't have anything with such a low value in my collection. It's hard to tell if you ask me to give you a price."

Regarding Bai Jing's words, Hu Bayi and Fatty were also silent.

Bai Jing said there was nothing wrong.

Many of Bai Jing's collections can even be said to be national treasures. If you take out any one at random, it would cost thousands or even thousands of dollars.

Although Bai Jing can date from the past, he is not really in the antique business after all, so naturally he is not very accurate about things like bidding.

It’s easy to check the transaction prices of high-end items, but it’s hard to say for those relatively low-end items.

After thinking for a moment, Hu Bayi looked at Li Chunlai and said, "Brother Chunlai, can you tell me the origin of your shoes?"

After Li Chunlai put away his shoes, he glanced at Bai Jing and the others and said, "Our place is called Gulan County. It hasn't rained much in the past few years, and there has been a severe drought. At this time, our village chief It is said that there must be a drought, and only when there is a drought can it rain."

Hearing what Hanba was, the fat man was confused. He still had little knowledge, so he immediately asked: "What is Hanba?"

Hearing this, Bai Jing explained: "It's actually a drought bone pile. Many places believe that the local drought is caused by the drought demon, so they find Taoist priests or Feng Shui masters and find a female corpse buried in the ground." They dig it out, then pour child urine or black dog blood on the female body, and finally burn the female body to achieve the purpose of praying for rain. This custom is found in many places."

Hearing this, Fatty understood. Hu Bayi also looked at Li Chunlai and motioned for him to continue.

And Li Chunlai told a strange thing that happened in their local area!
