Reborn Jewelry

Chapter 337 Plaque Cutting Board
"Master, your bargaining skills are really good!" Chu Ning gave Uncle Li a thumbs up, "If I can learn half of your kung fu, I won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life!"

She really admires Uncle Li.

People who are already 80 years old can still do business to such a degree, that is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Uncle Li's admiration for Chu Ning was also very useful, and he said with a smile: "You are too young and have too little experience. When you live to my age, you must be better than me!"

Chu Ning laughed and reached out to Meng Dongyue: "Brother Meng, bring me some money!"

Meng Dongyue was taken aback for a moment, and immediately after realizing it, he said, "Didn't you bring the money yourself? Why are you looking for me? Hurry up and pay!"

Chu Ning was also taken aback.

She asked Meng Dongyue for money, of course not because she didn't have any money with her, but because of the rules of the antique business.

Whoever buys something with money, it belongs to whoever it is.

Uncle Li and Tao Fei don't understand antiques, but Meng Dongyue and Chu Ning don't.

When Chu Ning asked Meng Dongyue to pay, she naturally handed over the ownership of the jewelry box to Meng Dongyue.

But Meng Dongyue didn't want this great deal delivered to his door, and it was returned to Chu Ning!

This immediately made Chu Ning embarrassed.

Although this box was nothing in Meng Dongyue's eyes, it was still worth millions.If she was really allowed to put it in her pocket so casually, she would not have such a thick skin.

After all, it was all thanks to Meng Dongyue's hard work that she was able to go to such a remote place.

If other people know that the two of them are pushing the matter of picking up the leak on each other, they will be surprised and have nothing to say.

Uncle Li didn't know what Chu Ning was in a daze for. What he cared most about now was whether the deal could be done.Seeing that Chu Ning suddenly hesitated to speak, Uncle Li became anxious immediately, and said: "I said, girl, we have already negotiated the price. If you say you don't have any money at this time, aren't you playing with the uncle?" ?”

After Chu Ning finished speaking, Uncle Li said to Meng Dongyue again: "Young man, your junior sister asks you to pay some money, and if you have it, give it to me. Why are you so stingy? My uncle told you, if this man is too stingy, he will look like a boy." No matter how handsome you are, you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law!"

Meng Dongyue's face was blackened by what Uncle Li said.

Chu Ning laughed, and said with a smile: "Master, I brought the money, but I just didn't remember it for a moment. Don't worry, I'll get you the money right away."

With that said, Chu Ning took out her wallet from her pocket.

She was open-minded, since Meng Dongyue didn't want it, she naturally wouldn't push back and forth with Meng Dongyue for such a catalpa wood jewelry box.

At worst, just treat it as if she owed Meng Dongyue a favor, and just find a chance to pay it back later.

Uncle Li didn't believe that someone would forget about whether he brought money or not.

He still felt that Chu Ning was just testing Meng Dongyue's willingness to spend money for her, but it turned out that Meng Dongyue, a cheapskate, was really stubborn about not paying for her!
Chu Ning counted 800 yuan to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li was a little worried, took a few people outside the house, held up the money in mid-air, and compared the real and fake one by one.

Chu Ning and the others were not in a hurry and just waited beside them.

After finally waiting for Uncle Li to confirm the authenticity of the banknotes, the old man took out a wrapped handkerchief from the inner pocket of his clothes, and then spread the handkerchief to reveal the money rolled inside.

Wrapping the newly obtained 800 yuan in it, Uncle Li wrapped the handkerchief into a ball again, and then carefully put the wrapped handkerchief back into his inner chest pocket.

It was the first time Chu Ning saw someone hiding money like this. While feeling novel, she also had the feeling of returning to the 80s.

I heard that most people at that time hid money like this.

Uncle Li, who had collected the money, smiled even brighter, his eyes were almost narrowed: "I only have something left in the kitchen, do you want to see it?"

Zaoyu refers to the kitchen.

Meng Dongyue and Chu Ning looked at each other, nodded and said, "Then let's go and have a look!"

Uncle Li led the three of them into the small door on one side, and there was a room separated from the sheep pen, which was the stove room.

The stove house looks a bit shabby, and most of the narrow space is occupied by the earthen stove. There is only a simple cupboard built with bricks on the side wall for storing things.

It is said to be a cupboard, but it is actually a few rows of partitions made of bricks. There is not even a curtain to block the dust. Several porcelain bowls and tin bowls of different sizes are placed on it, which looks dusty.

Chu Ning just glanced at the porcelain bowls, then looked away.

You don't need to look at the glaze color of the porcelain bowls, just by looking at the patterns on them, you can tell whether these porcelain bowls are ordinary modern handicrafts, or the ones that have been eliminated.In the wholesale market in Hanzhou, you can't find such a crude porcelain bowl.

After looking at the kitchen, Chu Ning's eyes fell on the vertical cutting board under the cupboard.

This cutting board is not an ordinary wooden stake, but it looks like it was modified from some kind of plaque.

However, the cutting board transformed from a plaque has obviously been used for a long time, and it is full of mottled kitchen knife marks and residual vegetable residues.If it weren't for Chu Ning's good eyesight, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to see the appearance of the plaque from it.

Chu Ning was a little curious for a moment, pointed to the cutting board and said, "Master, can you turn over your cutting board and show me?"

The place where the cutting board stands outside is behind the plaque.If you want to see exactly what the plaque looks like, you have to turn it over.

Uncle Li glanced at Chu Ning, as if looking at a silly girl.

In his old man's heart, the little girl from this city is really stupid.

Not only did he spend 800 yuan to buy his tattered jewelry, but now he is even more interested in a dirty cutting board. Isn’t this stupid?
However, if these city people are not stupid, he can't make money sitting at home.

With the idea of ​​continuing to earn money, Uncle Li agreed happily, and said: "If you want to read it, you can browse it casually. As long as you don't damage my things here, so that I don't have anything to eat, what do you think?" You can see it however you want!"

Chu Ning thanked her with a smile, and was about to step forward to turn over the cutting board, when Meng Dongyue took the lead and walked over, turning the cutting board over and laying it flat.

The place was really too dirty, Meng Dongyue couldn't bear to let Chu Ning do it himself, so he took the initiative to do it for him.

Chu Ning didn't pay attention to these things. She took a closer look and found that the cutting board was indeed just a part of a certain plaque.And on the front of the cutting board, a big "Li" character is engraved.

If you look carefully at the carving technique, it's quite satisfactory. Although there are no shortcomings, you can't find any highlights.

The wood used for the plaque is the common beech, which is produced in the south of my country, so it is also called South Elm by the northerners.
