Seeing that the group of young men were about to push Mr. Guo, Xu You hurried in. The past few years of training and exercising made Xu You's physical fitness significantly improved. The young man pushed it out and took two steps back before stopping.

"A person who even brings his hands when shopping, is he educated?" Another old man in a Chinese tunic suit next to him reprimanded very angrily after watching the audience.

As soon as this sentence came out, some people who watched the excitement nearby said a few words.

The young man who took the lead also knew that he had provoked the anger of the public, but he still scratched his neck and said, "Where is this thing, I want to buy it too, and the one with the highest price gets it, isn't it right? No, you can ask the boss to see if he is Who do you want to sell to?"

The stall owner is a thin man in his 30s who has not been in the business for long. Although he knows these rules, he still wants to sell things to this young man who looks like he is not bad for money.

"Well, old sir, can you help me, my family is in urgent need of money, you see...?" The stall owner asked Guo Lao and the old man surnamed Liu with a look of embarrassment.

"You..." Mr. Guo waited until he caught his eyes, pointed his fingers at the other party, and was speechless for a long time. The old man surnamed Liu stopped him, and patted his hands behind Mr. Guo, "Forget it, let's go and look at other things. "

"Teacher, which one are you looking at?" Xu Wei looked up at the stall owner's booth. There was nothing on the jar, but there was a little halo showing from the stall owner's baggage. Other items on the stall It's just average, almost no halo.

"Your teacher showed me that giant clam bracelet. I like it too. The asking price is 180, which is not too expensive." The old man surnamed Liu explained to Xu Wei, "Old Guo wanted to bargain, but the price was just negotiated. Those kids came over and insisted on buying it for [-] yuan, which caused a quarrel."

Xu You followed the fingers of the old man surnamed Liu, and looked at the stall. There was indeed a string of clam bracelets that looked very good, with 36 beads, worn on a navy blue net.

It has a faint halo of milky white and yellow rubber. Mr. Guo would have missed it this time if someone hadn't inserted a stick.

"Teacher, if this is the case, we don't want that bracelet. Let's see what else is on the stall and ask the boss to give you a good price."

The so-called affordable price is the price at which the stall owner puts in the goods.

The stall owner nodded quickly when he heard that. The giant clam bracelet was paid for at 20 yuan. Now it sells for [-] yuan, but it has increased by ten times. , I also made a lot of money.

"Yes, yes, old man, see which one you want, and I will definitely give you a real price."

"That's right, Brother Guo, look again, maybe there are better ones." The old man surnamed Liu also persuaded him.

"Then look again." Although Mr. Guo was angry, he received a signal from his apprentice, so Mr. Guo put on a look of reluctance, and returned to the stall, "Xiaoer, I was a little tired from sitting just now. , help me pick two pieces."

"Teacher, go over there with Mr. Liu, and I'll be over in a while."

It seemed that the excitement was gone, and the crowd gradually dispersed. The young men did indeed spend two hundred yuan to buy the giant clam bracelets. Remember Xu Wei's appearance, and look for trouble in the future.

Xu Wei frowned, "Boss, if you don't obey the rules, you won't be able to justify it."

"Oh, how can it be, you pick your own, and you won't sell anything to others this time." This breaking the rules, it's okay to do it once, or if there are too many, you really can't get along in this industry up.

The antique circle is very exclusive, if you don't follow the rules, you will be thrown out by the whole circle.

Xu Wei picked another bone-carved wine glass, on which there was carved Liu Haixi Jinchan, and money fell into it step by step. It seemed to be from the Republic of China, with a faint blue halo on it, not comparable to that bracelet, but the carver But very good.

"how much is this?"

With a look of impatience on Xu You's face, he pointed to a bone-carved wine glass and said.

"This kind of ivory carving, you will give three hundred." The stall owner said after seeing it.

"Your ivory is black and yellow? Don't think I don't know it's yellow horns. I'll take the 100 yuan, don't say you paid more than [-] yuan, I don't believe it."

"Cheng Cheng, one hundred is one hundred."

The stall owner also knew that he was wrong just now, besides, this thing should be yellow ox horn, and that thing is worthless.

"Boss, how many things do you have?" Xu Wei asked, looking at the travel bag next to the stool next to the other party.

The stall owner quickly opened the bag, "There are still others, they are all very good, just look at them."

Everything is very good, but the stall owner is afraid that the things will be sold, and the stall will look ugly, so they just keep spares, all of which are fake at first glance.

Of course, there is actually another very good thing in it, but he doesn't know it.

Xu You picked and picked with a look of disgust, and then, as if she had put in a lot of effort, she casually picked up a dirty little turtle and shook it.

"Is this gold mixed with copper? How much is it? It's a good imitation, and it looks like that." Xu Er didn't show it on his face, but his heart was really happy.

The stall owner saw that it was the little beetle that he collected, but there was a layer of stain on it that couldn't be wiped off at all. Otherwise, such a little beetle would be very valuable.

"Brother, you have good eyesight. This is a serious golden tortoise from the Ming Dynasty. Do you know the son-in-law of the golden tortoise? This is the golden tortoise." The stall owner arranged for the little golden tortoise to come from a very tall mountain, obviously not knowing Xu Wei.

In fact, there were people who knew Xu Wei nearby, and they were already planning to watch a good show together.

Xu Wei, Mr. Xiao Xu, both Baozhai and the owner of Dongtai Road know him. He is a half-apprentice of Miscellaneous Master Zhang Lao.

In fact, now Xu Wei hardly dares to buy things on Dongtai Road, because he knows that he is the one who looked at the stalls, and all the things on the stalls will increase in price.

Although I don't know which one it is, but Mr. Xiao Xu has seen it, it must be a good thing.

"Don't talk nonsense, this golden tortoise only existed in the Tang Dynasty, but not in the Ming Dynasty. Can things from the Tang Dynasty be preserved to this day? People have already melted them into gold bracelets, for the sake of your materials Come on, 100 yuan."

Now Xu You is no longer a fool who just left the village, and he is smooth when he speaks lies.

"Here, brother, since you are also knowledgeable, let's do it like this, one hundred and eight. You also know that it is gold. When I collected it, it was more than one hundred." Upon hearing this, the stall owner knew that he had met an expert. So he quickly changed his mouth.

"One hundred and two, I'll give you a hard fee." As he said that, Xu Wei seemed to be paying for it, and handed two one-hundred-yuan bills and two ten-yuan bills to the stall owner.

The stall owner collected the money, and after a calculation, it was the money for today's meal, so he happily sent Xu Wei away.

The so-called golden turtle son-in-law is related to the adornment of officials in the Tang Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was stipulated that all internal and external officials of the fifth rank and above should wear fish charms and fish bags.Fish charms are made of different materials, "Princes use gold, common officials use copper, and they all have their titles and names."

Fish bags are also "decorated with gold for grade three and above, and silver for grade five and above".Wu Houtian changed it to turtle charm (fish bag).

Wearing golden tortoises are all princes or officials above the third rank.Later generations then referred to the noble son-in-law as the golden tortoise son-in-law.

A golden tortoise is also the most arrogant ID card in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shangyin, a Tang Dynasty poet, left a very famous poem "For You": "For the sake of you, the clouds and screens are infinitely charming, Fengcheng is cold and afraid of the spring night. Marrying a wealthy son-in-law for no reason, it is a good thing to live up to the early court.

And the son-in-law of the golden tortoise comes from this poem.

The golden tortoise in Xu You's hand is full of stains even now, but Xu You can still see the leisurely and noble look of the bright golden tortoise stretching its head and raising its eyes.

Such a smart Baoguang is rare in the market. When I go back, I will ask Mr. Zhang to see how the stains on it can be removed.

Mr. Guo and the old man surnamed Liu were not far from the stall. They looked at Xu You furtively. They saw Xu You taking something and walking towards this side. Mr. Guo quickly won.

Mr. Guo walked up to Xu You, opened his arms, and took the little ornament in Xu You's hand.

"Haha, I knew there were still good things. How much did Xiao Er pay for it, and you, Uncle Liu, will reimburse you." Mr. Guo took it carefully as if he was treating a newborn baby.

"100 yuan, not expensive." Hearing Mr. Guo's introduction, Xu Wei also changed his address by the way.

"Uncle Liu, take this thing home and put it away. It may increase in value in a few years."

"Ai ai, ai yo, this is true, this is a miss? Brother Guo, this is too fast." Uncle Liu handed 100 yuan to Xu Wei, and then looked at the ornament in Guo Lao's hand, a black one This cup is so beautiful, there are people, animals and mountains on it.

"It looks simple, but it mainly depends on people. Some people have eyesight, so they can find the real ones. If they don't have eyesight, they will buy fakes."

Mr. Guo played with it for a while, and then gave the decoration to Uncle Liu, "Put it away, let's go back after looking around."

"Sure, I'll go back after a while. I still have to buy breakfast for my wife."

Since then, the three of them have been walking together, and Xu You can also understand how the two met.

It turned out that Mr. Guo fell in love with growing flowers recently, and this Uncle Liu moved to Shanghai with his son. He worked in a foreign company in Shanghai for two days. Uncle Liu and his wife lived in the old man's house.

Things are expensive in Shanghai, so Uncle Liu didn't want to burden his son too much, so he raised a few potted flowers and sold them at the morning market when he had nothing to do.

One is a half-baked guy, and the other is a veteran who has been farming for more than ten years, and we know each other after coming and going.

"Old Liu, I can't compare to you in planting flowers. You can't do it when it comes to this antique. My apprentice has been with me for less than two years. Take a look, and you can miss it."

Mr. Guo sat in the back, boasting vigorously with Uncle Liu, and didn't care that Xu Wei was sitting in the front, driving in embarrassment.

Although Mr. Zhang often said that Mr. Guo was 'thick-skinned', until now, Xu Wei had a more intuitive understanding of his teacher's shamelessness.
