Chapter 7 A black hand triggered by a painting

Yu Yao withdrew his thoughts, "Let's listen."

"That's why I was blinded by eating lard. I always run to Liu Datou. How should I put it, the key is that he is willing to bid. It's not that he is willing to bid for the real thing, but he will also bid for the fake one. The price of this kind of thing is not high, and it is not easy to sell. If he can accept it, I will make a little bit."

"Without these things, how could he deceive people?"

"It's so right. If you don't remind me repeatedly about offending him, I'll be overwhelmed."

On that day, Pu Jie went to Liu Datou's store to give away a broken bronze ring, which looked like it was on a pot, with some Kui patterns on it.

When he arrived at the store, Liu Datou was talking with people inside, and the assistant was supporting him outside, so Pu Jie sat down and waited.

The door of the inner room was open, with only a curtain hanging, and Pu Jie could hear the conversation inside.Maybe Liu Datou didn't care too much, otherwise the door would have been closed long ago.

They seem to be talking about a painting:

"Old Wan, you say this painting is Qiu Ying's?"

"Boss Liu, you are an expert in calligraphy and painting. Look down, there are famous models and collector's items behind here."

"You don't need to look at it, just look at half of it, and I'll know it's a fake!"

"Boss Liu, this is old frame."

"High imitation, high imitation, is it possible to use new mounting work?"

"This... then tell me, why isn't it true?"

"Qiu Ying, one of the four great masters of the Ming Dynasty, what is the price in the market? How can it be so easy to miss! You come here, and I will give you a few words, and I will say that Qiu Ying's small ax is cracked, and the texture of the rocks is as vivid as paper. Come on! This picture of yours is showing timidity!"

Then, there was the sound of scrolling the painting. It should be Liu Datou rolling up the painting and not looking at it.

The old Wan said again, "Boss Liu, even if it is a copy, it is still an old material and old framer, so you can keep it!"

"Okay. Three thousand, put it down."

"Boss Liu, if you add more, the old Lingzi and old paper alone will cost more than three thousand."

"Then change to another house!"

Lao Wan didn't say a word for a while.

Pu Jie thought to himself, if people in the market are smart and discerning, if they enter the Yawan Pavilion with a painting scroll and then take it out, it will be difficult for other shops to offer high prices.Lao Wan should understand this, but he was not reconciled, so he kept silent for a while.

After a while, Lao Wan pulled out the curtain and came out, holding a rectangular brocade box in his hand.Pu Jie didn't know Lao Wan, but seeing this man's unlucky face, he thought that he might really be short of money.

At this time, Liu Datou's voice came from the inside again, "Old Wan, if I'm helping you, add one thousand."

Lao Wan seemed to be moved, but he made eye contact with Pu Jie, and there was some sympathy in Pu Jie's eyes.I'm afraid, if there is no Pu Jie, Lao Wan will make a move; but people need face, trees need skin, maybe the face can't be wiped off, so he stomped his feet, "Boss Liu, please stay."

Finished talking and left.

Liu Datou came out immediately, and sneered, "I came here looking for a bargain with a high imitation of the Republic of China, and I didn't even look where it was!"

"Then I sold the bronze ring to him, and I didn't notice anything unusual at that time." Pu Jie recalled, "However, when I left the shop, I ran into that old Wan outside again. I also said hello. , Said that we met again by fate. He said yes, and then asked me how to get to Yimozhai, and I told him, and gave him a few words of comfort. This matter is over."

Yu Yao nodded, "Maybe Liu Datou will know about your conversation with Lao Wan."

Pu Jie nodded his head, then took out his phone and dialed, "Brother Chang, what are you up to? I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you..."

After making two or three phone calls and answering another call, Pu Jie said angrily, "It turns out that Yimozhai took five thousand for that painting! Guess, Liu Datou thought I gave that old man the way. , ruined his business deal! Nima, it’s really a vengeance for a few thousand dollars!”

Yu Yao shook his head, "This is not a few thousand dollars! He took this high-quality imitation, what if he pretended it was the real thing? That would be a 'big deal'!"

"Even if I don't meet Lao Wan, can Lao Wan go back?!"

"Liu Datou doesn't think so. He is still waiting for Lao Wan to send the painting back to Ya Wan Ge in a desperate manner! Besides, didn't you have eye contact with Lao Wan in the store? Maybe the guys in the store will add fuel to the picture Tell Liu Datou again!"

Pu Jie took a deep puff of the cigarette, "Turning it back and forth, that's how it is! On the surface it's mild and rainy, but secretly it's hitting me with big hailstones!"

"Liu Datou's eyesight is indeed good enough!" Yu Yao thought for a while, "So, let's do both..."

Pu Jie nodded again and again, "Okay, since you were young, you have a lot of ideas, I listen to you. I will treat you tonight, let's go to Jiangshangyue to eat fish!"

"Let's pull it down. Jiang last month has a minimum per capita consumption of [-], so let's get some skewers and roast four pork loins for me."

"You are so single, you are not afraid of getting angry if you eat so much kidney?"

"I'm cold, so I'll treat it like autumn fat. Do you think I'm addicted to flirting with girls like you?"

"Your uncle's."

"Don't talk nonsense, my uncle is your father."

······
The next day, the autumn air was crisp and cloudless.Yu Yao stuffed the brocade box containing the hanging robe general jar into a woven bag, and took a taxi to the Seven Star Bridge Antique Market.

It wasn't too early for Yu Yao to go, it was already eight o'clock when he got to the gate, but the market wasn't overly lively yet.

There is a storage place in the market, ten yuan an hour, he first stored the woven bag, and then came to the stall area.

There are a total of three streets in the stall area, two short and one long, just like the word "口" without the top horizontal; the location of the top horizontal is a shed area, and the management fee is a little more expensive than the street stall area.The south side of the greenhouse area is the shop area.

There are all kinds of stall owners in the stall area, and there are all kinds of shoppers. At a glance, there are old and young, old bugs and raw melon eggs, and even pairs of young couples. .

Yu Yao was wearing a yellow windbreaker and blue denim, which looked quite youthful, but his eyes looked a bit old-fashioned.It was already getting cold, and he even bought a chocolate to eat while shopping.

Even after sweeping more than a dozen stalls, he didn't even have the idea of ​​squatting down to get started.

With such eyesight, it really saves time and effort.In the past, Yu Yao often came here early in the morning on weekends to grab goods, and after a trip, he worked hard and had a sore back.

It didn't take long for him to walk down a long street, basically without stopping, except for a bustling scene in the middle: a man ordered [-] cash and bought a bronze lotus and crane square pot "made by Yanjian". When it was picked up and leaked, I put it on and squeezed it out in small steps.The stall owner was quite involved, but the buyer was gone, with an expression of reluctance to give up.

Yu Yao took advantage of the trend and turned to a short street, looking at the towers and towers, thinking that he couldn't hold anything, so he directly took the hanging robe general jar and went to Yawan Pavilion.

I had no intention of planting willows, but unexpectedly the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.An item on a stall caught Yu Yao's gaze.
