Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

Hu Xinyue and Ding Mao talked a lot, and finally they finally talked it through to Ding Mao.

So Ding Mao's final decision is still to sell to Kang Jinlong, but only after he goes to Beijing again!

Today, many traders and enthusiasts from all over the country came, and the stalls became more and more numerous.

Ding Mao and the others came early again, after all, the early bird catches the worm!

As soon as I arrived here, I saw a huanghuali book box carved with dragon patterns and made of copper.

This bookcase is about 45cm long, 25cm wide, and 25cm high. It is made of thick materials, elegant in shape, shiny in pulp, exquisite in craftsmanship, and beautiful in texture. It has a gold iron base and is probably not too late. It can definitely date to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. , Ding Mao thinks it is more biased toward the Ming Dynasty!

The shape is rectangular, and the edges are inlaid with copper to protect the corners, which not only prevents solidification, but also increases decorativeness.

It is equipped with a handle, and the handle ring is well preserved. In addition, copper flower gaskets are pasted on the hanging part of the handle to prevent impact.

Both the top surface and the outer wall adopt the Yangwen technique of reducing the ground, and are embossed with chilong patterns, which are exquisite in craftsmanship and distinct in layers.

Most of Ding Mao's wealth was obtained from huanghuali. If he comes across one at this time, as long as the price is reasonable, he can't refuse it!

"Boss, how did you sell this book box?"

The stall owner looked at Ding Mao, hesitated for a while and then said: "The opening price is 6000 yuan!"

Perhaps because of Ding Mao's age, the price offered by the boss was not very low, but it was by no means too high.

You know, this year's Huanghuali Zhuangyuan Box and Bookcase were sold for about [-] yuan, and this year's piece is of good craftsmanship, so the price is really reasonable, and can even be said to be a bit low. !

If he participates in the auction, Ding Mao estimates that the price will probably be between [-] and [-] yuan. Of course, it is normal for the auction to fail. This is just his guess!

So he negotiated the price: "Boss, I sincerely buy it. Do you think you can sell it for 4500 yuan?"

The boss shook his head when he heard this and said: "The price I want is not high, but you just dropped it by a quarter, which is definitely not okay!"

Ding Mao knew that the first price would be rejected, so he said: "Boss, what is the lowest price you can sell it for?"

The boss hesitated again and said, "If you want it sincerely, then I'll give you 5500 yuan!"

Hearing this, Ding Mao was about to make another counteroffer when Hu Xinyue saw him holding his arm.

And she said coquettishly: "Husband, I only have less than 5000 yuan in this bag. Is it worth buying a box so expensive? In my opinion, it is better to buy porcelain or big money according to your previous ideas!"

Ding Mao knows that she has a lot of tricks and tricks, and only she can do this kind of thing. The other girls either can't think of it or are thin-skinned, so they can't do this kind of cooperation!

Sure enough, when the boss heard this, he looked a little anxious and said quickly: "Brothers and sisters, you are wrong to think this way. This box is from Huanghuali, and its collection value and appreciation space are no lower than those of those things!"

Hu Xinyue said delicately: "The key point is that no matter what kind of pear it is, it is still made of wood. The weather in the north is dry, what if it cracks?"

When the boss heard this, he waved his hand quickly: "No, no, this is hundreds of years old and it won't crack again!"

Hu Xinyue shook her head and said: "Then no one can guarantee it. If it breaks, won't we lose money? But since my partner likes it, I can't stop it too much. Anyway, we have about 4800 yuan in hand. You If you sell it, we want it, but if you don’t sell it, forget it, so we can look at other options!”

The boss quickly pretended to be a little reluctant and said, "Hey, sister, the price is really low. Let's do this. I'll give you 5000 yuan!"

Hu Xinyue shook her head repeatedly: "No, we only have 4800 on hand. Since you don't want to sell it, we'll move on to something else first!"

As he spoke, he said to Ding Mao like a coquettish person: "Husband, why don't we go look at something else first? What if this thing breaks when it comes back? Besides, we don't have enough money!"

Ding Mao quickly nodded in agreement, and then said to the boss: "I'm really sorry, boss, let's go and have a look first!"

As he said that, he and Hu Xinyue turned around and were about to leave!

When the boss saw this, he quickly shouted: "Brother, slow down, just 4800 for 4800, I'll sell you!"

Only then did Ding Mao raise the corners of his mouth, and secretly gave Hu Xinyue a big thumbs up.

So he and Hu Xinyue turned around and came back, paid the money and the delivery was completed successfully!

On the way to put the box back in the car, Ding Mao said to Hu Xinyue: "Can we change the name of acting in the future? Do you know what husband means in ancient times?"

Hu Xinyue smiled playfully and said, "I know, doesn't it mean eunuchs and eunuchs?"

Ding Mao was stunned when he heard this and said, "Why do you still scream like that if you know it?"

Hu Xinyue blinked her eyes and said seriously: "The key is to call you something else and I'll suffer a loss! I'll leave the other titles to the future Mr. Right! You're not the one, so you don't deserve it!"

Ding Mao was speechless!

The word "husband" first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, referring to eunuchs. In ancient times, eunuchs were officially called eunuchs, Huangmen, and Diaojue. They were respectfully called neiguan, eunuchen, Zhongguan, Zhonggui, and humble called neixian, eunuch, etc. Eunuchs, eunuchs, and among the people are commonly called husbands.

In fact, the word husband appears in many ancient books and biographies, and it often refers to eunuchs.

For example, in "Zaolin Zazu", after Li Zicheng entered the capital, there was a saying of "beating his husband".

Chapter No. 80 of "A Dream of Red Mansions" also said: "The man at the door came in and said: There are two internal ministers outside, and they want to see the master." Jia She said: "Please come in. The man at the door ushered in my husband." "

Books such as "The Appearance of Officialdom" also describe it!

In short, Ding Mao really doesn't like this title. After hearing it, he always feels that something is missing!

Ding Mao doesn't know why this word has now become a term of endearment, but there were indeed examples of eunuchs being called this way in the past!

He looked at Hu Xinyue with some resentment. There was really nothing he could do about this woman!

If you are strong, you are really strong. After having her, Ding Mao feels that many things have become much easier.

But what really makes Ding Mao depressed is that she is definitely in the first place, and the rest of them combined are not as good as her!

"Hey, since she helped me collect things at a low price, please forgive her!"

Ding Mao could only comfort himself in this way!

After putting their things in the car, Ding Mao and Hu Xinyue started shopping again.

Just walking around, I came to Yu Hongliang's stall.

"How about Ryoko, how is the effect?"

When Yu Hongliang saw Ding Mao coming over, he immediately stood up with a smile.

"It's okay for me. I sold it for several thousand yuan in two days. The profit must be enough for expenses!"
