Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 289 The Old Child and the Peach Blossom Spring

There are 32 chess pieces made of agate, each of which is about 5 centimeters in diameter. A set of chess weighs three or four catties and is worth millions. It feels different when held in the hand.The life of the rich is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If ordinary people have such a set of chess, they will probably hide it in a rat's hole, and they will never use it to play chess.

But isn't chess just for playing?If it is precious and not taken out, the value will be reduced.

But Xu Wenyu didn't cherish them because of the high price. This set of chess is his treasure, and he can't buy it anywhere else.When playing chess, he handles it with care. If a chess piece is missing, it will hurt him badly.

Hu Tu hurriedly returned the chess pieces to him.Xin said, "No wonder there is a small amount of spiritual energy on that chess piece. I thought it was contaminated by playing for a long time, but I didn't expect this thing to be very precious." He saw Xu Wenyu pick up the box like a cheapskate, and packed the chess pieces one by one. He got up, couldn't help smiling carefully, and said, "Grandpa Xu, I didn't realize that you are made of agate." After a pause, he explained, "It was just a little magic trick, it was my fault, I forgot to say before the performance gone."

Xu Wenyu snorted and said, "Little Hu, you know a lot of things. Look at you, magic tricks and chess are nothing serious. No wonder you and Lao Wang can get along."

These words are not polite, but they no longer treat Hu Tu as an outsider.When treating friends, people are always polite, but when treating acquaintances, they can show their true self.The real self looks so elegant when you are not polite, but it is more comfortable.

It's just that Hu Tu didn't understand Xu Wenyu's temper. Seeing the sarcasm in his words, he really thought he was angry, and was immediately at a loss.Scratching his head with his hand, he didn't know where to receive it.

Wang Mingchun seemed to have noticed Hu Tu's embarrassment, and replied: "You are one-sided. What is magic and playing chess? According to you, those magicians and chess masters are idlers. Eat dry food? So, old Xu, you are going back now as you get older. Besides, Xiao Hu knows more than these two. Not only is he a first-class carver, but he also has a lot of research on antiques."

"Antiques?" Xu Wenyu is an expert in botany, he is more interested in living things than dead ones, and knows little about antiques, "He didn't even see my agate chess piece, hey, it must be another money-losing business. Hey, Old Wang, I think you should reconsider the important matter between this kid and your granddaughter, and recruit him into the family, and be careful that this kid can ruin your family property."

Is he dissatisfied with Hu Tu?It's just a magic trick, even if you are dissatisfied, it won't reach this level.And judging from the previous few sentences, he was not dissatisfied with Hu Tu, but rather cherished and loved his talents.

Hu Tu curled his lips, being bombarded by such complaints made him sober instead.He looked at the old man who was already in a wheelchair, and said in his heart, "The older you get, the younger your heart is. When I first came here, I heard that he poured out the medicine and slipped in the middle of playing chess. Now he is like a child again." It’s an interesting person to tease people. But if you say I’m a prodigal, hehe, do people who can make money be afraid of prodigals? They have nothing to fear.”

Wang Mingchun has been with Xu Wenyu for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a confidant. He smiled and said: "Old Xu, you are really disrespectful. Is there any junior among you who is too old to marry and wants to break up my little Hu? It’s easy for you to do it yourself. Let me tell you, I won’t be fooled by you. Young people’s affairs are dealt with by young people, and now is no longer the era of ‘orders by parents, words by matchmakers’.”

"Yo, you've become smarter now." Xu Wenyu laughed heartily again, "I didn't fool you. It seems that you are in good spirits when you have a happy event."

Seeing him laughing, Hu Tu couldn't help laughing too. He really wanted to know the old man's past at the moment, presumably because he was a very interesting person.It's just that such an interesting soul is contained in such a broken body, and even going out is an extravagant hope, so Wang Mingchun does not avoid the cold and heat, and often visits him.

When he left, the old man's laughter still lingered in Hu Tu's mind, and he inquired about Xu Wenyu's physical condition.Wang Mingchun sighed lightly, and explained: "In addition, when I was a professor in the early years, I always stood up, my back was bad, and I was semi-paralyzed due to cerebral infarction a few years ago. Alas, I can't stand up at all."

"That's it!" Hu Tu nodded, glanced at the space of the lotus platform consciously, and noticed that Qiushan Guanghe was catching crabs by the river, and his body was much more agile than when he first came in. .I don't know if these lotus whiskers can save people like plants, that would be great.

Immediately, Wang Mingchun seemed very displeased again, and said, "But even so, he is still as annoying as before. He doesn't talk about a lot of truths, and he keeps showing off that agate chess set in front of me. Are you angry? The chess set you made is not bad, but there is a problem with the design, and the agates cannot be suppressed. I have asked Pinqiu to redesign it, and you will help me make it later, and I will definitely get this place back. "

He is also an old child, arguing endlessly over trivial matters, but he sees away those big things one by one.

Time flies, another week.Hu Tu would go to Panjiayuan and Liulichang every day, and every time he came back, he would bring three or five old things, which cost more than 30 yuan.Of course, it is indispensable to take out the antiques in the lotus space and mix them in. The total value is already 600 million.

In order to sell these things, Hu Tu rented a 15-square-meter pocket store with an annual rent of 8000 yuan, and called Mr. Chen from Gu Peng to take charge of this matter.

Hu Tu's idea is very simple, that is to find a place where there are people to sell things, but Mr. Chen treats this matter as a career, and even mixes Wang Pinqiu into it.When the new store opened, a lot of waste was waiting to be done. Not only did the decoration work day and night, but also the identification of antiques was a waste of sleep and food.

While contacting old and new friends, he sought out experts to issue certificates. Occasionally, he found Hu Tu to ask about the story of picking up leaks. Someone came to ask, which was also an interesting thing to open up the topic.For selling things, he is much more professional than Hu Tu. Although Hu Tu has no interest in storytelling, he tells everyone in short sentences. If there is a story, he will say a few more sentences, and if there is no story, he will make up a few sentences. thing.

After the low-key opening of the new store, although there are few products, all of them are high-quality goods, so it attracts many discerning people.When I saw that the item was correct, and the price was reasonable, I bought it if I liked it.The word spread over and over again, and it didn't take long before the shipment was faster than Hu Tu's purchase.
