Both money and sex

With Zheng Hai's presence, Luo Ping quickly forgot about the drinking and fighting. Now that the afternoon is free, he will stay in the Porcelain Pavilion all day.

He grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, of course he knows that opportunities are hard to come by, and he also understands the truth of being sweet-mouthed, hard-working, and likable.

He cleaned the store spotlessly every day, and wiped the antiques on the display cabinets carefully with a rag. These days, he and Li Xiaoguang got along more and more harmoniously.

It's a pity that he still can't figure out the ways of antiques, but he just wants to use the Pixiu in his hand to pick up the leaks.

Li Xiaoguang also fell in love with Luo Ping, and taught him all his years of experience, and after deliberately probing him a few times, he was more assured of Luo Ping's character and trusted him more and more.

Since Liu Qi had two stores in Jiangcheng, he was sometimes too busy, so he even let Luo Ping look at the store alone, and encouraged him to boldly accept some things. Of course, the amount would not be too large.

This afternoon, Luo Ping was alone in the store, lying on a recliner, reading a book with the air conditioner blowing, very leisurely.

A middle-aged man in plain clothes appeared at the door of the store, holding a small wooden box with mottled appearance in his hand.He looked up at the plaque at the door, then walked in.

Luo Ping greeted him with a smile, "You have something to do!"

The middle-aged man nodded, and carefully placed the small wooden box, which was about two feet long and only one foot wide, on the table.

"Boss, this is an old thing passed down from my ancestors in my family, please show me."

After the middle-aged man opened the lock on the box, Luo Ping found that the box was covered with a thick layer of newspapers, and on top of it was a white porcelain bottle, about [-] centimeters high. The body of the bottle was divided into five parts and shaped like a melon. And ears.

Luo Ping took the porcelain vase in his hand and examined it carefully, and found that it was very similar to a set of Hutian melon-edge pots in the warehouse, so he began to worry about it.

"You are an old thing, but the workmanship is rough and the preservation is not good. I'm afraid I can't charge you a high price."

Luo Ping's words were well-regulated, and his tone was exceptionally gentle.

At the same time, he was thinking in his heart that the Southern Song Hutian melon edge pot in the warehouse only cost more than 2 yuan at the beginning, but now it seems to have risen to about 1 yuan. up.

"How much is it?"

The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, he seemed a little unhappy, and his tone of voice was slightly angry.

"1500", Luo Ping asked the price after deliberation.

If you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig running? Although he has no business experience, Luo Ping still knows how to bargain.

The middle-aged man's face darkened suddenly. He put the porcelain vase into the small wooden box, closed the box, turned around and wanted to leave, and turned around and said, "I've heard that your Porcelain Shop collects things at a fair price. I can't think of it. Hei, forget it, treat me as blind."

"Wait," Luo Ping called him hastily, "then you make an offer."

"Ten thousand, if I hadn't been in a hurry to buy a house, I wouldn't have sold this thing at all, and you wouldn't be able to buy it even if you wanted to."

Seeing how he pulled [-] to [-] yuan, Luo Ping really felt tired. According to his personality, he really didn't want to accept this thing from him.But thinking that this might be the first time he received something, and he could make a little money, he suppressed the evil fire in his stomach.

"Sir, it can be seen that you are also an expert. To tell you the truth, your item is not fake, and the market price may be sold for seven or eight thousand, but that is not sure. So, if you agree, you can sell it Put the things here with us first, we will help you contact the buyer, and we will charge the first-level handling fee if the transaction is successful."

The man said impatiently: "I've said it all, I'm in a hurry to buy a house before I want to sell this thing, let you here, when will I have to wait?"

"If it goes well, it will only take a day or two. But it's not sure, you see, there are all consignment items on the shelves over there, and the longest one has been on the shelf for more than a month."

The middle-aged man glanced back at the shelves full of all kinds of porcelain and frowned.

"Forget it, I can't wait, you'd better make a price, and if it's suitable, I'll sell it to you. Let me tell you, this is an authentic Southern Song Hutian Melon Edged Pot. Although it is not a treasure, it is not a high-end commodity. Use a price of one or two thousand to fool me."

Luo Ping was secretly happy, and he had a good heart. After some bargaining, he accepted the item at a price of 5000 yuan, which was also the maximum authority Li Xiaoguang gave him.

In the following time, Luo Ping put the porcelain vase that he had bought on the table, and admired it for a long time. When Li Xiaoguang came back, he said as if offering a treasure: "Brother Li, I have taken something. Look at it." look."

Li Xiaoguang was a little surprised, nodded with a smile, then picked up the porcelain bottle on the table and looked at it.

"I think this is a Southern Song Hutian melon-edge pot, which is similar to the one in our warehouse, so I charged it five thousand. Brother Li, is it okay?"

After careful inspection just now, Luo Ping has already confirmed that there is no problem with his first shot, and the price is lower than the one in the warehouse, so he seems complacent and proud when talking to Li Xiaoguang.

Li Xiaoguang put down the porcelain vase, patted Luo Ping's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you have to pay the tuition fee for the first time you collect something, and I did the same at the beginning."

The smile on Luo Ping's face froze instantly, and he asked in disbelief, "Fake?"

Seeing his expression, Li Xiaoguang smiled even more happily, picked up the porcelain bottle and pointed out the flaws to him one by one, and said that this thing was worth 300 yuan at most.

Luo Ping was so angry that he gritted his teeth, his heart was full of anger and he had nowhere to vent it, his face was flushed red and his neck was thick.

"No, I have to find him!"

Luo Ping walked out with a dark face, Li Xiaoguang hurriedly called him to stop.

"The sale of antiques is entirely voluntary. After the transaction is over, you can only admit it yourself if you find something wrong. Besides, you paid the price. Why do you ask him?"

"Isn't this cheating?"

Luo Ping was secretly annoyed, feeling quite uncomfortable, feeling that he had failed Li Xiaoguang's trust.Looking at the porcelain vase on the table, he became more and more angry, wishing to smash it to pieces.

Li Xiaoguang smiled and handed the porcelain bottle to him in a small wooden box, "Take it back and put it in a conspicuous place, and look at it every day in the future. Only by learning the lesson can we make fewer mistakes in the future."

After returning to the small building, Luo Ping really put the porcelain vase on top of the TV, sat on the sofa and looked at it sullenly.

Long Xin brought a plate of frozen watermelon, and walked over curiously to look at the porcelain vase.

"Brother Luo, is this an antique?"

Luo Ping blushed slightly, coughed twice, "This is a fake, but I think it looks pretty, so I took it back."

"My uncle seems to have a few bottles like this, I don't know if it's real."

Long Xin didn't seem to have much interest in these things, so he said something casually, then put the fruit plate on the coffee table, and called Luo Ping to eat watermelon.

"Long Xin, I heard that your uncle knows martial arts and medicine. Could it be that he still collects antiques?"

Luo Ping ate two mouthfuls of frozen watermelon, and the suffocation in his heart was relieved a little. In addition, Long Xin rarely wore a short-sleeved T-shirt today, revealing a section of fair-skinned Saiyu's arm, which made his eyes shine. He started chatting with her, but his eyes kept rolling on Long Xin.

Long Xin ate the watermelon slowly in small bites, and laughed when he heard him ask this question, as if thinking of something very happy.

"Uncle Master is amazing. Not only is he good at medicine, he can also tell fortunes for people. He seems to recognize antiques. I remember that every time he goes up the mountain, he carries a big bag on his back. I heard from him that it contains all the treasures he bought, and I heard from my master that the jade pendant on my body was brought back by him."

The yellow short-sleeved T-shirt worn by Long Xin was Xu Ting's clothes. She was wearing it a little looser, revealing a small piece of white and tender skin on her chest, where the black jade pendant was quietly pasted.

Listening to her words, Luo Ping's eyes naturally shifted to Long Xin's chest, his breathing stopped suddenly, and he couldn't leave his eyes anymore.

At the same time, he secretly said in his heart, obediently groaning, although there is black jade as a contrast, the skin on Long Xin's body is too white, it is almost the same as the flawless white jade.

Seeing that he was silent, Long Xin raised her head and saw that he was staring at her chest with big eyes, shyly covering her chest with the watermelon in her hand.

After dinner, Xu Ting hadn't come back yet. Luo Ping and Long Xin cleaned up the dishes, and then went to take a cold shower. When they went downstairs, they found that Long Xin was looking around with the small wooden box in his arms.

"Dragon Heart, what's the matter?"

"I don't know where to put this box."

These days, Long Xin tidied up the house neatly, and it was no longer as messy as when Luo Ping lived here alone. She was worrying about the small wooden box.

"Give it to me." Luo Ping took it with a smile, took it to his room, and wanted to put the porcelain vase he bought last time into it.This famille rose bottle was the first thing he received. Although only the base was real, it still had commemorative significance, so he prepared to keep it properly, but found that the wooden box was a little shallow.

Luo Ping simply took out all the old newspapers that were spread in the wooden box, but they were still a little shallow. Holding the wooden box and looking around for a while, he finally found the reason.Although this small wooden box is about a foot high, which is supposed to be enough to hold the pastel bottle, but the bottom is extraordinarily thick, nearly an inch thick, taking up a lot of space.

"How can there be such a thick bottom?"

Luo Ping was puzzled, picked up the wooden box and knocked on the floor casually.

Boom, boom.

It's not the crisp sound as imagined, but rather hollow and dull, like knocking on a big overripe watermelon.

"Could it be that there is a mezzanine below?"

He lifted his spirits and looked at the small wooden box carefully.The black paint on the surface of this wooden box has been mottled and peeled off a lot, and the four corners are wrapped with iron sheets, including the place where the lock is installed. The iron sheets are also pasted, all of which are rusty, and it seems to be old.

Luo Ping knocked on the bottom of the wooden box repeatedly, and shook his ears back and forth against it, but he didn't feel anything shaking inside.But his curiosity made him decide to find out. He got a hammer and smashed the wooden box open with a bang.

There is indeed a mezzanine at the bottom of the wooden box!

"There is something."

Luo Ping suppressed his excitement, and pushed aside the piles of broken wood that were strewn all over the floor...
