The reason for saying this is nothing more than to increase the difficulty and threshold of this matter, so as to come to this old man to ask for more money.
So, he said with a serious face: “Old man, I am also the master who sees and eats a lot. If you throw this thing in your hand in an alley on the side of our antique street, you only need to throw a thousand yuan. Absolutely as much as you want, you can’t count.”
Seeing that he didn’t believe him, Chang Sheng Bo quickly added some more money and handed it to him together, saying sincerely: “Brother, let’s not talk about anything else, look at my age, even a policeman should retire How could it be possible to be an undercover agent?”
Then, Chang Sheng Bo further explained: “Brother, I really like the finger wrench in your hand, so I also sincerely want to buy it. How about this, please tell your elder brother for me and ask him to make a price.” , as long as it is within my tolerance, I will transfer the money to him on the spot!”
Seeing that the other party put money into his hands, Zhao Laosi deliberately evaded and said: “Oh, what are you doing, old man? Aren’t you making me make a mistake? Later, the elder brother blamed me and said that I have no bottom line, so I won’t take me with you in the future.” Playing.”
As he said that, he deliberately wanted to add some bait to Chang Shengbo, so he deliberately put the jade finger under Chang Shengbo’s nose, and said with a mysterious face: “Old man, I don’t want to say much, just smell this finger ring.” , you smelled the little smell in the jade slit of the finger! I’ll tell you that it’s definitely going to click! If you’re really an expert, you’ll know what’s going on immediately after smelling it!”
Uncle Chang Sheng put his nose up suspiciously, took a breath cautiously, then frowned and asked, “It smells rancid, a bit irritating, and there is also a bit of earthy smell…”
“Yes!” Zhao Laosi gave a thumbs up and said with a look of praise: “Master, your sense of smell still seems to be very sensitive! You can smell so many smells, so I don’t need to tell you what the origin of this thing is. Bar?”
“Oh… I see…” Chang Shengbo nodded slightly, seeing Zhao Laosi’s face as a chicken thief, and adding that he said these words without any trace of lying, Chang Shengbo was one hundred and five Judging from sixteen years of life experience, what this kid said is absolutely true!
So, he carefully stated his conclusion: “Brother, these things are all dug out from the ground, right?”
Zhao Laosi’s eyes widened in an instant, he put the pick-up sign under his arm, and took the initiative to hold Chang Shengbo’s hands. He admired and said cautiously: “Old man, congratulations, you got the answer right!”
While collecting money and praising him, Zhao Laosi did not forget to compliment Chang Shengbo: “Old man, it seems that you are also an expert! Could it be that you were also a pot when you were young?”
Supporting pot is a slang word in the tomb robbery industry. It roughly means that he once pulled up a tomb robbery team and served as a core figure in this team.
Chang Shengbo waved his hands and said with a smile: “I only know some antiques, not tomb robbery.”
Chang Sheng Bo really didn’t know much about tomb robbers.
When he was young, he had heard some rumors about tomb robbery and even Sun Dianying’s robbery of Cixi’s tomb, but the key point is that he practiced Taoism in Guanli all the year round and had no interest in tomb robbery and cultural relics themselves, so Also did not understand too much.
However, this person has lived for a long time, and the amount of information received actively or passively must be much larger than that of ordinary people.
Immediately, Chang Sheng Bo tentatively asked Zhao Laosi: “Brother, is it convenient for Fang to show me the wrench in your hand?”
Zhao Laosi knew that the old man wanted to see his finger ring, and he just wanted to get his money step by step, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said, “Old man, this finger ring is my eldest brother’s token for me.” , I didn’t send it to me, and you know the general idea of the origin, the things are indeed a little sensitive, and I can’t show them to you, so I won’t explain them so thoroughly, I hope you can understand.”
Chang Sheng Bo didn’t know what he meant.
It just so happened that, for the sake of safety, I like to use cash wherever I go, so I have plenty of cash in my pocket, so this time I simply took out two hundred-dollar bills from my robe, handed them to Zhang Ermao, and said seriously: “Brother , let me tell you straight, I went back to China this time, first went to Yanjing, and then came to Jinling, in order to find my favorite antiques in these two ancient capitals. Yan’er, I won’t make things difficult for you, just let me take a look, if it’s really good, I’ll give you a thousand dollars, and you can help me set up a line with your elder brother, and I’ll talk to him about the specific business.”
Unexpectedly, Zhao Laosi would have thought that the old man would be so forthright, not to mention giving money a few times, but this time he simply took out the dollar.
Seeing him open-eyed, he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, “Success! Since you like this finger wrench so much, I’ll take it off and show you!”
As he spoke, he took off the jade wrench and handed it to Uncle Chang Sheng.
Chang Shengbo was ecstatic, and nervously took the jade wrench with both hands, for fear that it would accidentally fall to the ground and fall.
After taking the jade finger, he immediately realized that this kind of thing is indeed an antique, and it is a thing from the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
