Chapter 611

Seeing Yu Yao looking at him, the man with eyes grinned, showing embarrassment, "I'm sorry, the information is wrong, and I want to give you a lottery!"

Yu Yao waved his hand, "It's up to you whether they sell it or not."

The man with glasses was slightly taken aback, and looked at the old lady who was still talking on the phone, "That's true. Have you eaten yet? Let me treat you to dinner, as a thank you."

"No. If she sells it, I will accept it if you don't."

"Ah? Why are you taking this..." Before the man in glasses finished speaking, the old lady had already finished making a phone call and came over here.

"I'm short of a painting case, it's quite suitable." Yu Yao responded casually.

The old lady walked up to them, "My old man agrees to sell it, that's..."

"It's okay, don't make it difficult, I'm sorry to bother you." The man with glasses answered quickly, he really didn't want to buy it.

"It's not embarrassing, but my old man set a price, which is a bit high." The old lady said.

"Forget it then." The man with glasses answered in seconds.

The old lady was taken aback for a moment, Yu Yao smiled, "They're all here, it's not too late, let me hear what you tell me."

"Oh, this, it's like this, my old man said, this long table is actually a good thing made of hardwood! So..."

The man with glasses had lost all patience at this time, "Auntie, how can there be paint on the hardwood? If the hardwood is really covered with paint, it will basically ruin the thing."

"Ah?" The old lady obviously didn't understand anything. Hearing what he said, panic flashed in her eyes, "My old man didn't say much, he only said the price, and said that if he is sure to buy it, he will come back."

"Can you tell me how much money you can pay first?" Yu Yao hurriedly picked up the conversation without letting the man with glasses take the lead.

The old lady hesitated a little, "The old man said, [-] yuan, you can't bargain."

"Why didn't he..." the man with eyes spoke halfway, but swallowed the word "to snatch" back, and then said, "I'm really bothering you, let's say goodbye!"

But Yu Yao said to the old lady, "Then shall I talk to the old man?"

"Okay, I'll call him right now."

It seems that the old lady did not expect such a high price from her old man before the phone call, and it seems that they have never communicated with each other.At the same time, it can be seen that the old lady has a relatively waxy temper, and it seems that the old man usually talks about what he says.

At this moment, the man with glasses looked at Yu Yao with some surprise, and thought to himself, what exactly is this guy doing?I ran into it temporarily, pulled it over, I didn't like it, but he actually liked it?The problem is that this long table is not good, even if it is hardwood, it will not be such a good material as red sandalwood and rosewood, otherwise, who would be willing to paint it?

The old lady called again, and Yu Yao smiled at the man with glasses, "Brother, if you're busy, go first."

"Are you sure you want to buy it?" The man with glasses originally wanted to leave, but at this moment his curiosity gained the upper hand.

"Yeah, I really lack a painting table, this is quite suitable."

"Are you a painter?" The man with glasses asked, but he said in his heart: What a painter!If you lack a picture case, where can you not buy it?Still use here to spend [-] to buy a thing covered with paint?

"No, it's just amateur dancing." Yu Yao couldn't drive him away, so he could only simply agree.

The old lady hung up the phone and asked them to sit down on the sofa, "My old man will be back in 10 minutes."

The three of them sat and chatted casually, but luckily the old man came back sooner.

The old man had very thick eyebrows, and his facial features were a bit fierce. After he came back and said hello, he took a good look at Yu Yao and the man with glasses.

The man with glasses felt a little nervous when he saw him, coughed twice, but didn't speak.

The old man said, "Which of you two is the buyer?"

Yu Yao smiled and said, "Old man, we came together."

"You two together? You two are not in the same way, why are you together? A temporary partner?" The old man turned to sit down on the single sofa on one side, lit a cigarette, "Hurry up and decide who will buy it, or not I'll see you off."

Yu Yao thought to himself, this old man's eyes are really poisonous.

At this time, the man with glasses showed embarrassment again, and said, "My friend bought it, and I will accompany it."

"Then he wants to buy it?" The old man smiled faintly, "Don't accompany me, whether I'm buying or selling things, I don't like people who have nothing to do with me."

Yu Yao didn't speak.

The man with glasses couldn't stay any longer, he stood up and said to Yu Yao, "Then I'll take a step first and contact you later."

In fact, they had no way of contacting at all, and they didn't even leave a phone call.If the man with glasses hadn't said that he was a friend first, and he couldn't ask in person, he would have asked for Yu Yao's number now, because his curiosity was getting stronger and stronger.

"Okay." Yu Yao responded lightly, the man in glasses nodded and left, and the old lady sent her out the door.

The old man looked at Yu Yao, "I don't care how you came to the door, you tell me first, why did you buy this flat-top case?"

Hearing what he said, Yu Yao suddenly felt a little cold in his heart.

It turns out that this old man knows how to do it!The fact that he can name the flat-top table, not the long table, is enough to say.

"I can accept your offer of [-] yuan." After a little hesitation, Yu Yao said bluntly.

"Your answer is irrelevant to the question. I said [-], just to find out. If I agree, I will be worth coming back to talk about." The old man looked at Yu Yao, "But you are so young, I am really surprised."

"Before I answer your question, can you tell me why you want to paint it?"

"In special times, in order to protect, it is really helpless. This happened four or fifty years ago." The old man answered truthfully.

When Yu Yao heard it, there was no need to hide it, "This red sandalwood flat-top case is a good thing; it's normal to want to buy a good thing."

The old man's eyes changed, "Even if it's made of red sandalwood, but the surface of the case is not even made of four pieces, it's made of broken wood, are you still interested?"

The so-called four pieces mean that a plane is made up of four boards.Generally speaking, for a plane of the same size, the single board is naturally the most expensive, followed by double boards, and the value of four boards is greatly reduced.

"Old man, although the pattern made of broken wood is covered by paint, the specific content cannot be seen, but what if it looks good?" Yu Yao has actually guessed what the pattern is, and also guessed that the old man probably knew it, but in the I've been in the antique business, but I've developed a habit of not knowing if I can't figure it out.

"The pattern is 'ten thousand characters less than the head', and it is made of the same material." The old man actually said directly, "The embossed chi patterns on the legs of the case are also exquisite in craftsmanship. This red sandalwood flat head case is a masterpiece of the mid-Qing Dynasty!"

Wanzi Butou, also known as Wanzi pattern, Wanzi brocade, and Wanzi continual, is a four-sided continuous pattern composed of one after another Wan (卍), and is a typical auspicious pattern in Chinese traditional culture.

When Yu Yao heard it, he simply asked directly: "Old man, since you know it so well, why do you want to sell it?"
