Chapter 5 Qin Shihuang's Imperial Bowl
Chapter 5 Qin Shihuang's Imperial Bowl (1)
When we arrived at Anyang Railway Station, it was already completely dark, and the train to Sanmenxia would not arrive until early morning.Gu Meidi and I found a 24-hour KFC fast food restaurant near the train station to pass the time while eating.
While eating, Gu Meidi suddenly put down the hamburger in his hand and stared straight at me.
I was a little embarrassed by her look, so I took a sip of coke pretending to be calm, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Who cares to look at you! I'm looking at that person!" Said, Gu Meidi quietly pointed behind me.
I turned my head and saw two blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners sitting behind me, a man and a woman, probably foreign couples visiting China.Opposite them sat a black and thin middle-aged man with a mustache and small eyes rolling back and forth, looking like a mouse-eye.Beside him was an old canvas bag, and he fiddled with it for a while, then took out an emerald green jade bowl and placed it in front of the foreign couple.
The jade bowl is simple in shape, crystal clear and translucent throughout, exuding a charming color under the light.
Although the workmanship of the jade bowl is exquisite, we know that this jade bowl is just a fake after a professional look.
There are many such dealers of cultural relics near the train station. They often use some fakes to deceive passers-by.They especially like to deceive foreign tourists. Many foreigners like Chinese things and like to buy Chinese ancient relics very much, so these foreigners have become fat sheep to be slaughtered.In the words of those cultural relic dealers: "These foreigners are stupid and naive!"
As soon as the jade bowl was placed in front of the foreign couple, the foreign couple's eyes straightened. The tall foreign man carefully stroked the jade bowl and exclaimed repeatedly: "Good! Good! Very good! (Good! Good! Very good!)”
Seeing that the time was ripe, Ba Zihu coughed twice and deliberately lowered his voice, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I! This jade bowl was the bowl used by Qin Shihuang to eat. Do you know Qin Shihuang? The first emperor of China! He likes to eat with this jade bowl the most. It is said that eating with this jade bowl can prolong life. If you buy this jade bowl and eat it, you will be in great health!"
The horoscope made the foreign couple dizzy, and Gu Meidi and I almost burst into laughter. To be able to make up such a lie, this horoscope is really a miracle!
The foreign man stared wide-eyed, looked at the mustache in disbelief, and said in Chinese with a strange accent: "So amazing?"
"Of course!" The character Hu nodded seriously.
The foreign man held the jade bowl fondly, and looked at his wife with a questioning look on his side. The blond foreign girl gave three fingers to the mustache.
The mustache immediately put on a distressed expression, "Hey, my aunt, 5 yuan is already the price of vomiting blood, and you pay me 3 yuan, which is too low! This is the first emperor of China to eat. The bowl is priceless! If my old lady was not sick and needed money urgently, even if my head was cut off, I would not have taken out this family heirloom and sold it!"
Mustache covered his face with his hands and shook his head again and again.
Gu Meidi sighed in admiration: "This old boy graduated from Beijing Film Academy, right?"
I shook my head and sneered, these liars will always be those lines, why the family is sick and need money urgently, damn it, can't they change a line?It made people's ears callused.Society is progressing, liars should also learn more.
After some intense bargaining, the jade bowl was finally sold for 4 yuan. 4 yuan is really nothing to a rich foreign tourist. The blond foreign girl immediately took out a few stacks of RMB from her bag and put them in front of Mustache. An old face smiled brightly.
Gu Meidi snorted coldly and was about to stand up. I asked her in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"
Gu Meidi said angrily: "This old boy is too dark. The cost price of this jade bowl is less than 400 yuan, but he actually sold it for 4 yuan, which is almost a hundred times. No, I have to deal with it." Take care!"
"Hey!" I pressed the back of Gu Meidi's hand and said, "These people have been cheating around here all year round, and the relevant departments haven't said to take care of it. Do you need to take care of it?"
"Hmph!" Gu Meidi said angrily, "It is because of the connivance of you people in this society that these scammers are so rampant. As a professional archaeologist, when this kind of thing happened under my nose, I feel that It would be a disservice to my profession if I stand by and watch!" Saying this, Gu Meidi got up and walked to the next door.
Gu Meidi's words made me feel bad enough, I shrugged my shoulders helplessly, this little girl still knows too little about things outside the school, many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface.
Gu Meidi walked to that table, pointed at the jade bowl and said to Bazi nonsense: "I want this jade bowl!"
When the foreign couple heard this, they quickly put the jade bowl in their arms, for fear that the precious lump would be snatched away by Gu Meidi.
The character mustache raised his head in surprise, and then he laughed and said, "Beauty, I'm sorry, this jade bowl has already been sold to a foreign friend! Otherwise, I'll get you another treasure tomorrow?"
"No! I want this jade bowl!" Gu Meidi said firmly.
The foreign couple was a little unhappy, "You are so unqualified, we have already paid for this jade bowl!"
Gu Meidi stretched out three fingers and shook in front of the mustache, "I'll offer three hundred!"
Three hundred yuan?
The foreign couple looked at the mustache in astonishment, and there was a hint of anger on the mustache's face, "Beauty, are you joking?"
Gu Meidi said seriously: "Do you think I am joking? Although your high imitation jade bowl is very well made, it is just a handicraft, not an ancient cultural relic, and the market price is only two hundred Around, I will give you three hundred, which is considered cheap for you!"
"What?" The foreign couple looked at Gu Meidi with confusion and surprise, "You said this jade bowl is not an ancient relic?"
Gu Meidi said: "Of course not! This jade bowl is obviously a modern product. Judging from the quality, it is estimated that it was made two or three months ago."
The character of the horoscope is ashen, "Fart! This bowl of mine is inherited from the ancestors. This is the bowl used by Qin Shihuang for eating. You little girl knows what a fart! Get out! Get out!"
"Hmph!" Gu Meidi sneered, "The bowl that Qin Shihuang used to eat? You're such a brat! I can tell you that my house also has a pure gold toilet that Qin Shihuang used to shit!"
Hu folded his arms and put on a rascal look, "You say my jade bowl is fake, do you have evidence?"
The foreign couple also looked at Gu Meidi unwillingly, "That's right! Do you have evidence?"
"Let me tell you!" I got up and walked over, picked up the jade bowl, and said slowly, "The shape of this jade bowl has distinct characteristics of the Western Regions. The people of the ancient Western Regions were bold and generous, and they liked to drink from this bowl. The shape of this kind of jade bowl was only introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty, and there would never have been such a jade bowl during the Qin Shihuang period, let alone the bowl that Qin Shihuang used to eat!"
The mustache's face became very ugly, I pretended not to see his expression, and continued: "This jade bowl is indeed exquisite in workmanship, but the biggest flaw is that it is too exquisite, its edges and the bottom of the bowl are very smooth and flat , it looks like it was made by machine. We all know that the ancient utensils are all handmade, and the edge and bottom of the bowl are absolutely impossible to be so smooth, so I am [-]% sure that this jade bowl is just a fake. To be precise, it is a pretty good handicraft.”
"Bastard! You liar!" The tall foreign man grabbed the mustache by the collar, lifted the mustache from the seat, and then raised his fist high, "Liar! Give us back our money!"
"Calm down, both of you! Calm down, both of you!" Ba Zihu reluctantly returned the 4 yuan in his hand to the foreign couple.
"Thank you! Thank you!" The foreign couple kept thanking us and wanted to give us 1 yuan to repay us, but we politely declined.
Seeing the cooked duck fly away like this, the mustache was trembling with anger, "Who are you? How dare you sabotage my business here, I'm so tired of working!"
Gu Meidi looked at the mustache with cold eyes, "You old liar, if you continue to deceive people without knowing what to do, we will send you to the Public Security Bureau!"
