1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 124 Qianlong Imperial Brush Box
Since Fengzeyuan came back, Luo Tao also ignored Wang Yu and the financial backer behind him.

Hong Kong businessmen are very powerful these days, otherwise there wouldn’t be many mainlanders who would change their status as Hong Kong businessmen, and then mainlanders would invest in and build factories.

This is just like the hairy crabs from Hongze Lake. After passing through the water of Yangcheng Lake, their value will double immediately.

As a last resort, it's better to live in peace. Even though we are just ordinary people, we still have to take the overall situation into consideration.

Every day, Luo Tao would either play with Little October or play chess with the old men in the alley. Occasionally, he would get up early to visit the morning market.

Before dawn today, there were two people in the alley pushing a cart and holding a lantern. They left the depths of the flowers by the moonlight and headed west out of the alley wearing thick clothes in the cold wind.

"I said that place is not far away!" This soft female voice can warm up this cold winter.

"Didn't I tell you? We'll be there in a minute, Yuyuantan." The man on the bike replied to her impatiently.

"Hey, hey, you're riding a bike, don't make trouble? What if you fall down in winter?"

She didn't wait for a reply, but was greeted with a squeeze on the waist. The woman had been leaning against the man's back since she got in the car, sitting sideways on the back seat, with her hands in the pockets of the man's thick coat.

"Why, you are starting to dislike me now. Men are not good at all."

"Hey, you can't overturn a whole boat of people with one stroke. Your father is an extremely good man."

"I want you to tell me." As he spoke, his hands were unruly and he patted his back a few times, making the handlebars he held shake wildly in shock.

"Zhu Lin, I told you to stop making trouble. You'll be here in a moment. I'll show you the world today."

"Humph, I made a fuss, and it's all your fault. What's the point of seeing it? I'm just interested."

"It's my fault, let's forget it. My aunt, just sit down and take care of you."

Luo Tao admitted his mistake perfunctorily, reasoning with women is not feasible.

The wind started blowing under my feet and I headed to the morning market in Yuyuantan.

"I'm telling you, after a while you just watch and listen and don't talk, and don't touch things. In short, just follow my eyes and act."

The two people who arrived at the morning market had not started shopping before Luo Tao mentioned some precautions in advance.

"I know, you said this eight hundred times last night, and my ears were ringing with noise. Can we stop dilly-dallying and let's get started."

Zhu Lin also happened to have a rare break today, so she begged Luo Tao several times to take her to the morning market. Luo Tao agreed when he saw that nothing happened.

Yesterday, I left the matter of getting up in October to my mother, Su Guilan, and today the couple got up very early.

Yuyuantan was an antique baggage shop that was established early after the reform and opening up. However, it did not last long before it was driven out by the red armbands.

Zhu Lin walked in front holding a lantern, looking left and right, his eyes always wandering on the stall in front of him, full of curiosity about everything he looked at.

"Hey, can you please slow down and wait for me? Why are you walking so fast while strolling through the morning market? If you wander around like this, even the good things won't fall into your hands."

Luo Tao was pushing the car behind him, and he couldn't help but say something when he saw Zhu Lin being so impatient.

"I'm so fast, how can I see it when it's so dark!" After hearing Luo Tao's shouting, she turned back and whispered.

Huh, what does fast mean?Is it faster to take off? I secretly cursed in my heart.

"It's so dark for such a big moon. Let me open your eyes today."

The two of them pushed the cart side by side and wandered around for a while, but didn't like anything. Although there were few fakes these days, it didn't mean that no one was selling handicrafts.

The two people wandering around sometimes squat down to admire a few old handicrafts.

They're all pretty good, but they're all bad. You say you're not doing good handicrafts, but you want to get into the antique business. Isn't this just making up the numbers?

I bought one, a purple sand teapot from the Republic of China period, and the stamp on the bottom of the teapot is "Chen Dinghe made" Yangwen regular script Dafang chapter.

In order to buy this purple clay teapot at a low price, Luo Tao also pretended to be a boss.What was created by Chen Yuanming, the early, middle and late seals were different. He also talked about the king of purple sand pots, the "Shi Hu". He was talking eloquently. Luo Tao was well-founded, and everyone who listened was convinced.

The stall owner thought to himself that he had met an expert today. Not only did he do a business, but he also learned knowledge. This person was also very good at things. For eight yuan, he generously gave him a small change. Luo Thao paid five yuan and left.

"Master, please go slowly. Come back next time!"

"Haha, I'll definitely see you later!"

The couple was far away from the stall, and Zhu Lin asked: "Is this teapot so expensive? The Deer thermos bottle only costs a few dollars."

"Hey, I don't understand! If this thing is old enough, it will become an antique. A thermos is just sentimental at most. If you have anything to say, let's not talk about it here." Seeing that she still had something to say, Luo Tao stopped it quickly. , Too many words lead to mistakes.

The two of them walked around for a while, and Luo Tao finally saw something that caught his eye.

"Can you let me see the post box?"

"Oh, whatever you want."

Luo Tao knelt down and took a post box from the corner of the stall. Zhu Lin was holding a lantern on one side, looking at Luo Tao silently and not disturbing him to appreciate the post box.

"The thing looks good, but it has some flaws."

Luo Tao looked carefully for a long time, and he knew the material of the post box. The huanghuali post box with a base of golden nanmu did not escape.

But as for the inscription "Ai Lian Shuo" in the box, I am a little unsure about the person who inscribed it to be precise. This person's name is really too big.

This person is Qianlong, who is known as the creator of "cultural relic psoriasis".

Although I am not sure whether this post box is true or not, I still hold the principle of buying it first and then talking.

"Sir, such exquisite sticker boxes are rare. Look at this, it's from Huanghuali. Look at it, does it have a Qianlong imperial pen? Why is it so flawed? You must explain it clearly today."

Look, the boss is not strong, but his voice is very strong.

"Don't be anxious. Just now you said that this is Qianlong's imperial pen. Let's not talk about whether there are monsters in it. Let's take a look at the lines of these characters. Are they very dull and inconsistent up and down? The writing power is obviously not as good as Qianlong's imperial book and the pulp decoration don't have any royal style at all. The only thing that can be said is that the material is genuine."

The boss glanced at Luo Tao and then at Zhu Lin under the moonlight. He thought he was a rich young man, but he didn't expect to meet an expert.

"I'm sorry, I wonder how much you can offer, sir?" This man didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"Five yuan?" Luo Tao quoted a price that he thought was acceptable. This was based on the fact that "The Theory of Love and Lotus" was not inscribed by Qianlong.

"Sir, you really know how to make an offer. This is too low! At least two."

Luo Tao pretended to be deep in thought, gritted his teeth and said, "Ten yuan, that's a lot."

"Sir, I think you really want this note box. How about we each take a step back, fifteen?"

As soon as the price came out, Luo Tao couldn't help but bargain again, so he had to pretend that it was too expensive, and then paid the price.

Zhu Lin didn't go far before he asked, "Is this true?"

"I'm not sure. I'll buy it first. I'll let Mr. Wang take a look at it when I have time."

"This is 15 yuan, why...are you dragging me along?"

Luo Tao saw that there was nothing he liked, so he urged her to go home. It was too crowded here, and the things he got could not be passed on in vain.

The couple was about to leave, but they were blocked by someone.

　Thank you friends for your support. I have been busy recently and the updates are very poor. Hongye would like to apologize for letting down my friends.
