Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 767 Grasshopper Gourd
Panjiayuan.

"Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Zhuang Rui, who was wandering with his friends, heard the familiar and pleasant chirping of grasshoppers in front of a booth.

Zhuang Rui liked grasshoppers very much when he was a child, and he had raised many grasshoppers, so when he heard the sound, he could tell it was the grasshopper's cry, and at the same time he felt very curious.

Most of the grasshoppers are played in summer and autumn. Once it enters the winter, the grasshoppers will basically die from the severe cold. Although it is late autumn, it is not considered winter, but the temperature has been abnormal these years. In Sijiu City, The temperature is not low now, although most of the grasshoppers have not been frozen to death, they are already dying, but the chirping he heard is so loud, strong and powerful.

The voice came from a blackened grasshopper gourd in the hands of the boss in front of him.

"Boss, the grasshopper you raised is really good. This grasshopper, oh, and this gourd, do you want to sell it? I used to play with grasshoppers when I was young, and now I see them very kindly. If you want to sell them, you can offer a price." Right?" Zhuang Rui stopped and asked.

"My grasshopper is the best. You heard the call too. It was loud. Few people in the whole market can compare with me. I didn't buy it at first, but I see that the little brother really likes it." , then I’ll make an offer, and if you think it’s right, I’ll sell it.” The boss hesitated for a while and said:

"Two thousand, if you are willing, I will give you both the gourd and the grasshopper."

"This thing costs two thousand." Before Zhuang Rui could speak, a person next to him said, "Five yuan, just five yuan."

This person is Zhuang Rui's little friend named Huangfu Yun, who is two years older than Zhuang Rui. He is Zhuang Rui's playmate since he was a child. Later, he went abroad to study, and after graduation, he returned to China to start a business. However, his business failed, so he came to join Zhuang Rui temporarily. .

As he said that, Huangfuyun pulled Zhuang Rui to leave, and the stall owner became anxious when he saw it. This is a single business, and it can't just go so far, so he hurriedly said: "Brother, brother, I think you are very sincere. Not one thousand, one thousand you take away."

"One thousand." Zhuang Rui shook his head: "It's too high, one hundred."

"One hundred is not enough. The boss of Ji Yazhai opened eight hundred yesterday, but I didn't sell it to him. I only offered you one thousand because of your sincerity," said the boss.

"One thousand is too expensive. I just like the call of the grasshopper. I haven't heard such a powerful call of the grasshopper in this weather for a long time." Zhuang Rui shook his head and said.

"Then, little brother, give me a price. If it's suitable, I'll give it to you. Otherwise, I'll keep it for myself."

"Six hundred." Zhuang Rui said, although he had studied with Gu Tianfeng for half a year, but he still couldn't bear it, and offered a price that wasn't too low.

"it is good."

"I said, you..." Huangfu Yun was a little helpless, and finally shrugged: "Well, who made you rich, you can do whatever you want."

"Did you buy something good?" Huang Chong happened to be visiting Panjiayuan, and when he saw Zhuang Rui, he came over to say hello.

"A grasshopper, and a gourd." Zhuang Rui paid for the gourd and said, the gourd was still warm, because the boss put the gourd in his clothes, so as to ensure a suitable temperature, so that the grasshopper would not be frozen die.

"Oh, it's Mr. Huang, just take a look." The stall owner saw Huang Chong and said, Huang Chong has often visited Panjiayuan in the past six months, and he is familiar with many stall owners here, so he can be regarded as an old ghost, of course The main reason is that Huang Chong's eyesight is good, and he has picked up a few leaks, although it is not a major leak.

"Could he have opened the golden pupil?" Seeing the gourd in Zhuang Rui's hand, Huang Chong thought to himself, although he had forgotten a lot of the plot of the novel, Huang Chong remembered that in the novel, the protagonist Zhuang Rui was because of a gourd and the girl in the novel. The gourd in the novel where the protagonist meets is the first time Zhuang Rui has missed it.

This grasshopper gourd is about 10 centimeters high at the mouth, and has a big belly in the middle, estimated to be seven or eight centimeters. The hollowed-out core looks like it is carved from jade, which is very exquisite, and the outer skin is black.

"It's a bit strange." Looking at the grasshopper gourd, Huang Chong thought to himself, because the patina is wrong, it stands to reason that this gourd should have a long history, but the patina has no dim light and lacks old utensils.

"Let me see."

"Give."

Huang Chong took the gourd and inspected it carefully. When the mental power wrapped the whole gourd, Huang Chong immediately saw the abnormality in it. He smiled and flicked the gourd belly with his nails. And loud.

"A good gourd, but a grasshopper with a loud voice." Huang Chong said, returning the gourd to Zhuang Rui, and said, "It's hard to buy a happy heart. It's really good, and you can keep it."

"Even if I go and catch them casually, I can still catch a dozen or twenty heads for you, and it costs six hundred. You two are stupid." Huangfuyun said in a low voice.

"Do you want to sell this grasshopper gourd?" Someone behind Huangfu Yun suddenly asked.

Everyone looked around, a man and a woman, the one who spoke was a woman in a pink windbreaker, who looked like a rich lady.

"My friend, please make an offer." The man next to the woman said, although the man had a smile on his face, it looked fake.

Xu Wei, Huang Chong recognized this man. He is Xu Wei, the heir of the Xu Group. The Xu Group is the leader of the domestic jewelry group. In order to grow stronger, the group has done some shameful things, so the old master never let Huang Chong and Zhuang Rui make friends with people from the Xu Group.

The reason why Huang Chong was able to know Xu Wei was because the Xu Group spent a lot of money last month to buy a piece of high-grade glass jadeite from Huang Chong that he had just unwrapped. Out of curiosity, Huang Chong went to check the Xu Group's news, and then got to know Xu Wei.

"Sorry, I don't want to buy it." Zhuang Rui flatly refused.

"Come on, sir, the business is negotiated, why don't we go to the store and talk about it." Xu Wei said.

"Okay, okay, talk, talk." Huangfu Yun said quickly.

……

"Mr. Zhuang, my friend really likes this thing of yours, but I know that a gentleman does not take what others like, so I am willing to pay three times the price for this, gourd." Xu Wei said politely.

"But, I don't plan to buy it." Zhuang Rui said.

"Ten thousand." Xu Wei said, his complexion and tone have changed a bit, he hasn't met someone who doesn't give him face for a long time, let alone in front of the woman he wants to chase.

"Little brother, 1 yuan is already a lot. You black gourd, the price I opened yesterday was only [-]. If you turn around and walk a dozen steps, the price is [-] times the price. You have already made a lot of money." If you don't make a move, you'll hit your hands." Boss Qian said at the side.

Boss Qian is the shopkeeper of the "Ji Ya Zhai" that the stall owner said just now. Xu's family owns the shares of this store. He only opened one hundred yesterday, but the stall owner said it turned into eight hundred. business.

"..." Zhuang Rui looked at the gourd without speaking.

"Boss Qian, you are wrong. This gourd is not black, and [-] is indeed too cheap." Huang Chong laughed.

"Hehe." Xu Wei laughed dryly a few times, his tone became a lot tougher, and said: "It's not black, hehe, it's too cheap, that's fine, since Bingbing likes it, 5 yuan."
