Jianbao life

Chapter 692 Touching Porcelain
The kind of things that Meng Yi first mentioned are actually not uncommon in life. For example, a friend borrowed money and waited to pay it back, or simply became an old man. been.Because of taking care of face, under normal circumstances, everyone rarely takes the initiative to ask back the things borrowed by friends.

Of course, there are still more honest people in the world after all. For example, when Chu Chen borrowed things, his friends usually returned them in advance.

"How much is that pen holder worth?" Zhu Dafu asked.

Meng Yixian replied: "I haven't seen that pen holder either. My friend said it's worth four or five thousand."

"It's quite generous to see your friend here." Zhu Dafu said with a smile.

"Fart! He's called poor and generous!"

Meng Yi swears first, and said: "He is just an ordinary retired worker. He gets a retirement salary of 5000 yuan a month, and his youngest son just got married. His family is already considered a large sum of money!"

Hearing this, Qiao Qingtai was a little surprised and said, "If this is the case, then why doesn't he ask for the money back?"

"So, I said he is poor and generous!"

Then, Meng Yixian shook his head and sighed: "Actually, my friend is so generous to anyone, but his relatives helped him before and saved him more than 2000 yuan from losses, so he has been embarrassed to ask relatives for more money. .”

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Two thousand for four or five thousand, this business is really good, it seems that your friend's relatives really have a problem with their character!"

Meng Yixian said: "There must be a problem! I suspect that that guy might be involved in today's incident."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Judging from the current situation, this kind of thing is really possible.

"Hey!"

Zhu Dafu suddenly thought of something, he asked: "Xiao Meng, your friend should know that you are in the antique business?"

"I know! He knew it when I first started to do antique business." Meng Yi replied first.

"Since he knows, why doesn't he ask you to help with the shopping?"

Regarding this matter, not only Zhu Dafu, but also other people felt a little strange.

Meng Yixian chuckled, and said with some pride: "The two of us grew up together as playmates, and later fell in love with the same person, who is my wife."

Hearing this, everyone understood what was going on, Zhu Dafu laughed and said: "Xiao Meng, it seems that you are quite skilled!"

Meng Yixian shook his head and smiled: "What kind of tricks! To say, when we were talking about the partner, my friend's unit was better than mine, but his shortcomings were too obvious, not to mention soft-tempered, and a little indecisive. In comparison, I'm going to be better."

"Speaking of which, because of this incident, we both broke up with each other at the beginning, and we didn't get in touch again until a few years later. At that time, I had already entered the sea to do antique business, and I had achieved some success. My friend was influenced by me. He also stepped into this industry. But he has no talent in the antique industry, and because I didn't want to give up, he suffered many losses during the period, and I helped settle a few times."

Zhu Dafu said: "Then why don't you persuade him to stop playing?"

Meng Yixian wryly smiled and said: "How can I not persuade you, but this guy has changed from being angry with me to a real lover of antiques. In his words, if he doesn't go to the antique market a few times a week, his whole body will itch. .However, he never asks my opinion when he buys things. I guess if there is no other way this time, he will definitely not call me..."

While speaking, the taxi came to Confucius Temple, one of the three major antique markets in Jinling.

The Confucius Temple, located on the banks of the Qinhuai River, has been a prosperous area where people lived and merchants gathered since ancient times.In the early 20s, the antique market here began to flourish again, and now, Jiuli has also become a place frequented by Jinling antique lovers.

After getting out of the car, everyone hurried to the booth where the incident happened. Before they got there, they saw a few people watching the excitement. As for the fact that there were not many people watching the excitement, it was because the location of the booth was relatively remote. In addition, today is Monday again, and there are relatively few pedestrians coming and going.

At this time, there was a man in his fifties waiting anxiously in front of the booth. He looked towards Chu Chen and the others from time to time. When he saw Chu Chen and his group coming, he immediately showed surprise. With a long sigh of relief, the tense expression also relaxed.

When a group of people walked to the stall, they saw the broken porcelain on the ground. Meng Yi looked at the stall owner first, and found that he didn't know him, so he asked his friend, "Old Ji, what's going on?"

Meng Yixian's friend is called Ji Haoliang, and he said with a wry smile, "I really didn't do this on purpose. At that time, Wanyou said that this bowl was good, so I was going to take a look at it. Unexpectedly, as soon as I picked it up, suddenly there was a bowl next to it. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old child knocked me, and the bowl fell."

Hearing that this is the case, Chu Chen and the others still don't understand that Ji Haoliang has been "touched", and just like what they thought before, the 30-year-old standing next to Ji Haoliang looks a bit mischievous [-]% of relatives are also involved.

Meng Yi took a deep look at Ji Wanyou who was standing next to Ji Haoliang, and then asked, "Where is the person who bumped into you?"

"I was lost at the time, and I didn't know where that person went!" Ji Haoliang smiled wryly.

Meng Yi first glanced at Ji Wanyou again, and he knew without asking that the other party must have given the same answer. Then, without even looking at the things on the ground, he asked the stall owner, "Boss, what do you want about this?" solve?"

The stall owner spread his hands with a smile and said, "If I dropped my things, of course I have to pay for it!"

"You mean 15?" Meng Yixian said with a half-smile.

The stall owner smiled slightly, but said nothing, he could still see the current situation.Before, he heard that Ji Haoliang was just an ordinary retired worker, and he didn't know any masters in the field of antiques, so he thought of "touching porcelain" on Ji Haoliang.

But the reality is completely contrary to what he heard. Judging from their temperament, words and deeds, the old men in front of them are probably also in the antique business, and these people are all dressed in elegant clothes. There is also some background.

Since the stall owner is doing this kind of thing, it is impossible for him to be Lengtouqing. Not only is he not Lengtouqing, but he has strong observation skills and knows when to make what choice. Therefore, it is definitely impossible for him to ask Ji now. Haoliang wants so much money.

Besides, the 15 was just talk, if it was really a compensation, he really didn't believe that Ji Haoliang would give him 15.

However, it was hard to achieve this step, and he couldn't let the cooked duck fly away. He had to gain something.

Seeing that the stall owner was still a bit unwilling, Meng Yixian said: "As the saying goes, there are thieves and thieves. If you come out to mess around, you have to pay back sooner or later. Sometimes, it's better not to go too far!"

In fact, Meng Yixian could say something more ruthless, but it was too aggressive, and it was of no benefit to Ji Haoliang. What's more, he wanted Ji Haoliang to suffer from it, so he could remember it long.

"That's good!" The stall owner saw that Meng Yixian had already said this, and if he wanted to kill him again, he might be unlucky himself, so he gritted his teeth and said, "For the sake of this old man , this bowl is worth three hundred, but I also have a request, each of you has to choose one more thing among my things."

In fact, the reason why he said that was because he wanted to ask for more money first, but if he said it directly, he felt that it would easily arouse the disgust of Meng Yixian and others, and it would undoubtedly sound better to replace it with something.And when this kind of thing happened, he really didn't believe that the other party could still choose things here with peace of mind.

Seeing what the stall owner said, Ji Haoliang wanted to say that he would just pay more, but before he could say anything, Meng Yixian waved his hand and said, "Boss, we can buy your things, but what about the price?"

The stall owner didn't expect that Meng Yixian didn't follow his script, cursed inwardly, and then said:

"Fair deal!"

"Okay! Then does he want to buy it too?" Meng Yi first pointed to Ji Wanyou next to him.

"Yes, he wants to choose too!" As the information provider this time, at this moment, the stall owner hated Ji Wanyou so much, how could he let him go!

Ji Wanyou smiled awkwardly. At this time, he was also extremely depressed. If it was someone else who came, he might still be able to leave. But for a person like Meng Yixian, unless he doesn't want to be in the Jinling antique world, he really doesn't care. Dare to do that.

If he had known that Ji Haoliang had a friend like Meng Yixian, he would never have made such an idea today.

"This old man, with a friend like Meng Yixian, why didn't you tell me earlier? Besides, since you already know Meng Yixian, why do you always come to me for appraisal? I really don't know what to say!"

Not to mention that Ji Wanyou muttered to himself there, after talking with the stall owner, everyone squatted down and started picking things.

There are some small things on the stall, and almost all of them are shoddy and fake ones. In terms of value, the highest here is less than 50 yuan. This is why Meng Yi first agreed to the request of the stall owner. Come down, let Ji Haoliang pay for other people's losses, it will definitely be more cost-effective than paying alone.

In fact, if you really want to calculate, there is not much difference between the two, but facing this kind of "touching porcelain" character, Meng Yixian and the others don't want this person to take advantage of it for nothing.

Although there are almost fake goods on the booth, not all of them are fakes. For example, the ancient books in front of Chu Chen should be genuine, but even if they are genuine, Chu Chen looked through them, and most of them are clear. The anthology printed in the late period is basically not worth a few dollars.
