Antique Dealer

Chapter 133 Fly in the ointment
Fang Hao knew that he still had an aunt who was born when she was pregnant. Because she was born prematurely and her grandmother was not in good health, under those circumstances, the family didn’t have much money, so the child could survive. hope is slim.

At that time, my grandfather's workmate told him that there was a family who wanted to adopt a daughter, and the family was in a good position, so they could try their best to save the child's life.

After careful consideration, the family reluctantly agreed in order to save the child's life.

Within two days, Fang Hao, an aunt whom he had never met, was hurriedly taken away without even knowing who she was.

For this matter, grandpa and grandma have always been very guilty, and they also wanted to know about the situation of their aunt, but the worker kept his mouth shut and refused to say anything.A few years later, this person died unexpectedly, and he didn't know where to go to find out about his aunt.

Fang Hao didn't expect that he would get such news by accident when he came to Xijing this time. If it can be confirmed, grandpa and grandma should be very excited when they hear the news.

However, Fang Hao is also very curious, is this aunt's son really that similar to himself: "Do we really look that much alike?"

Tang Mingshan said: "It's true, it's just that he is fatter than you. I haven't seen him for more than two months, and I thought he had lost weight successfully. But, now you can't see him even if you want to."

Fang Hao was stunned for a while before he understood from the other party's sad tone: "He's gone?"

Tang Mingshan said sadly: "Yes, just two months ago, he committed suicide by jumping off a building."

Fang Hao remained silent. He didn't like people who committed suicide from the bottom of their hearts. He believed that those who committed suicide were cowards. Since they are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of facing problems?He was relieved when he died, but as for his family, the most painful thing in life is that a white-haired person gives a black-haired person!

"Why did he jump off the building?"

"I'm not too sure about this." Tang Mingshan hesitated for a moment: "Excuse me, is it convenient for you to meet them?"

"I still have some things to deal with now. I'll contact my family when I get back, and I ask you to communicate with me as well. Let's do a paternity test first."

"Okay, that's what it should be, please excuse me."

"You're welcome, I'm the one to thank."

Fang Hao finished talking with Tang Mingshan, and quickly called his father. When Fang Zhengwei learned about this, he was surprised but also very excited. He said to discuss with Fang Hao's uncle first, and then contact him later.

After waiting for a while, Fang Hao received a call back from his father. His father will come to Xijing alone first, and then tell his grandparents after the paternity test is done.

Putting away the phone, Fang Hao sighed in his heart, it was a happy event to find his aunt, it would be great if it could be more perfect.

Fang Hao took a taxi and stopped at the gate of a community. At this time, Qian Min was waiting for him at the gate of the community. Beside Qian Min, there was a young man in his 30s. He calmed down and greeted him.

"Uncle Qian, what's the matter for calling me here in such a hurry?" Fang Hao put on a good show when he got the news in advance.

"Aren't you going to buy a pair of Wenwan walnuts? No, I happened to meet my friend and introduced me to Boss Qiu." Qian Min introduced both parties.

"Boss Qiu, hello, I'm sorry to trouble you." Fang Hao stretched out his hand.

"Hello, hello, what's the trouble with this matter!" Boss Qiu enthusiastically shook hands with Fang Hao, and at the same time looked at Fang Hao. This young man is as handsome as a star on TV, and he is well dressed. The watch on his hand was even more eye-catching, and he could tell he was a kid from a rich family.

After a few words of courtesy from both parties, Boss Qiu led the two of them into the community: "May I ask, are you buying walnuts to play with yourself?"

"Isn't that right? My grandpa likes to collect Wenwan walnuts very much. It's his birthday soon, so I want to take a good pair of walnuts back and give them to him." Fang Hao asked again: "What do you have here? Taboo?"

"There is no taboo, it's just that my grandfather left me the old walnuts. Before he left, he told me that if you want to sell the walnuts, you'd better sell them to lovers." Speaking of this, Boss Qiu said with some embarrassment. Rubbing his hands together: "Actually, if I hadn't been a little tight, I wouldn't have sold this pair of walnuts, and the market for Wenwan walnuts has not been good in recent years."

In the past few years, Wenwan walnuts were very popular, especially as a gimmick for middle-aged and elderly elderly care and health care, which made Wenwan walnuts flood the entire collection circle for a while.

However, it is precisely because of the temporary increase in demand that more and more farmers have begun to plant Wenwan walnuts, which has led to a cliff-like drop in the price of common Wenwan walnuts, with a drop of about 50%.

However, there is also a variety of rare special-shaped walnuts, vintage old walnuts, and high-quality walnuts that are perfectly matched in leather, and the price is still acceptable.

Boss Qiu changed the subject: "However, my walnuts are not that cheap. They are more expensive. I asked an expert to appraise them, and he said at least 15."

Fang Hao smiled: "If it satisfies me, the price is negotiable."

"It will definitely satisfy you." Boss Qiu patted his chest confidently.

Soon, the three of them followed Boss Qiu to his house. Boss Qiu made tea for them and asked them to wait for a while before he went to the room to pick up things.

Fang Hao looked at the decoration in the house. It is generally in the new Chinese style, and the decoration is relatively luxurious. Among other things, the sofa and coffee table are all made of mahogany.

After a while, Boss Qiu came out. He put a red wooden box in his hand on the coffee table in front of Fang Hao, and opened it himself. A pair of exquisite walnuts appeared in front of everyone.

There is a big difference in the selection of Wenwan walnuts and walnuts for eating.First, the texture must be particularly deep.Secondly, the walnuts should be picked when they are immature, about seven or eight mature.

Generally speaking, the requirement for Wenwan walnuts is that the texture is deep and clear, and each pair of Wenwan walnuts must have similar texture, the same size, and the same weight. Therefore, it takes a lot of effort to make a pair. Carving and the old red color formed after years of playing are even more precious.

The pair of walnuts in front of me, taking the natural shape of the walnuts and the undulating changes of the shells, are applied according to the materials, and the patterns of magpies climbing plums are exquisitely carved, and everything is vivid and lifelike.The entire pattern undulates on the surface of the walnut body, and the carving skills are exquisite, which is very rare among similar walnuts.

When Fang Hao saw this pair of walnuts, his eyes lit up immediately, and he raised his head and said, "Boss Qiu, do you mind if I take it out and have a look?"

"You're welcome." Boss Qiu said so, but still stared at Fang Hao's movements, as if he was afraid that Fang Hao would accidentally damage the walnut.
