Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 4 Used Keychains
But this time, with the determination to fight hard, he planned to try it out.

Just think of it as making a bet with yourself. If your eyes really deceive you, then he is willing to admit defeat.

Even though he had made up his mind, he still cautiously searched around the stalls.Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a stall full of gadgets.

The stalls display all old things, of course, there are some handicrafts from Yiwu, and there are almost no valuable items.One of the metal hollow balls tied with a chain is mixed in, making it inconspicuous.

But Zhao Gang could see from a distance that this metal hollow ball was shining with dazzling brilliant light.

"Boss, can you pick this up and look at it?"

Zhao Gang squatted down, did not start directly, but asked the stall owner first.He knows the rules of the antique circle.Although it is just an inconspicuous small stall, it is best not to touch it directly, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble.

"Yes! Young man, all the treasures here are serious treasures. The whole Pangjiayuan Antique Street knows that my old Zheng only does boutique business here."

The stall owner is a thin middle-aged man, about 40 years old, with a pair of small eyes that wander around non-stop.At first glance, it looks like an old river and lake.

Hearing what the stall owner said, he unceremoniously picked up the hollow metal ball.He stared at it for a moment, and suddenly his mind moved, as if a sweet fragrance emanated from the hollowed out sphere.A wonderful scene suddenly appeared in front of him.

I saw an ancient woman in a plain dress, with a delicate hair bun, picked up the metal hollow ball with her slender hands, lightly opened the mechanism, and with a bang, the ball opened in response.

The woman put some incense in the ball and burned it, and soon a dense fragrance poured out.She covered the smoked ball, hung it on the bed curtain, then leaned over and lay down with her clothes on.

In amazement, the scene has drifted away, but there still seems to be a hint of fragrance in the air.Zhao Gang already understood in his heart that it was a hollowed-out copper tent with incense sticks.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that the stall owner was looking at him with those shiny little eyes. He pretended not to care and said, "This keychain is pretty good. My girlfriend just wants a keychain."

Seeing that he was interested, the stall owner secretly jumped for joy.

"Young man, you have a good eye! This key chain is the most precious treasure in my stall."

When Zhao Gang heard what he said, he knew that he had no idea about the origin of this incense stick, so he couldn't help laughing.There was a metal chain on the incense stick, so he made nonsense that it was a key chain, but he didn't expect the boss to be so cooperative.

So he also asked "very cooperatively": "Isn't it just a keychain? What's so valuable about it?"

The boss stared at him, and said with an exaggerated expression: "This is no ordinary keychain! This is the keychain worn by Gege in the palace in the past!"

Zhao Gang almost laughed out loud, and couldn't help but monologue in his heart, this boss really took him as a layman.This lie is too untechnical.

"Boss, you are bullying me when I am young. Dare I ask you, old man, Gege in the palace also uses a keychain? Is it a car key or a house key?"

When he said this, the stall owner also felt that his nonsense was a bit outrageous.He smiled embarrassingly, rolled his eyes, and bit the bullet to round up his own words:
"Gege De Ling, do you know the Gege De Ling next to the Empress Dowager Cixi? That's Ge Ge who is studying abroad. It's not uncommon for her to use this object!"

"Then, how much do you sell Gege's used keychain?"

Zhao Gang asked jokingly.

Seeing Zhao Gang asking the price, the boss was even happier.Asking the price represents the intention to buy.When doing business, you are not afraid of bargaining, but you are afraid of not asking the price.

"Take 2000 yuan!"

The boss waved his hand boldly:

"Usually I sell more than 3000! This Deling Gege is serving the Empress Dowager Cixi, can the things she uses be worse? Boy, I am a serious Wenwan!"

"Oh, Wenwan, forget it. I just want to buy a more delicate keychain for my girlfriend. Forget about Wenwan, I can't afford it."

Saying that, he put down the incense stick and got up, and was about to leave without looking back.

The boss saw that he was determined to leave, as if he really didn't miss his "treasure", so he quickly stopped him, and very consciously gave him a price dive.

"Hey, boy, don't go. It's rare that we hit it off so well, and you like my things so much. In this way, 500 yuan is for you! Look at how beautiful this keychain is. It's Wenwan again. You can give it to your girlfriend There is also face, right?"

Zhao Gang feigned hesitation, pondered for a moment, and then asked for a counter-offer: "So expensive? It's just a keychain, can you sell it for fifty?"

The stall owner sighed and was very speechless. He really didn't make a lot of money with dozens of dollars.

"Can we not pay tens or tens of dollars? At least give me a three-digit number! Brother, you just buy a piece of handicraft, and the workmanship alone costs more than a few dozen dollars. What's more, I am an antique. !"

Seeing that he didn't talk to him, the stall owner used his sharp tongue and persuasively said:
"Look, the pattern on this keychain is so beautiful. There are flowers and birds. Can the factory mass-produce it compare? I can guarantee that your girlfriend will never be the same as others when she wears it."

Zhao Gang sneered in his heart, wearing a keychain, not wearing clothes, but afraid of bumping into his shirt?This stall owner is really eloquent.

After some bargaining, the two parties finally settled the deal at a price of one hundred and sixteen.

The "keychain" was actually picked up by the stall owner by accident on the side of the road. He used it as a keychain for his daughter for a few days. The girl thought the metal ball was too hard and was afraid that it would damage the car keys, so she searched for another one. New plush key fob, just received this afternoon.

So this metal ball keychain came to the stall owner's booth.Until the transaction was completed, the stall owner still insisted that this was Gege's used keychain.

It's just that it was used by my own "Gege".

Zhao Gang took the payment code handed over by the stall owner, and happily scanned the code to pay.Now this antique street is also advancing with the times, and all the stalls have set up payment.

Of course, this is limited to the purchase of some small items, such as valuable cultural objects and antiques, and the two parties will still formally draw up a sales contract.

Zhao Gang felt a little troubled with the incense stick that was purchased with a "huge sum" of [-] yuan.

Although he is sure that the incense stick in his hand is an out-and-out antique from the Mid-Tang Dynasty, he has no intention of collecting it at the moment, and how to cash it out is the key.Don't look at the many stores in Pangjiayuan, most of them are intrigues, and they use some means to break through the psychological defense of customers.
