"Hey, brother and sister-in-law, good afternoon." Zhao Shun greeted a middle-aged couple in the yard with a simple smile on his face as soon as he entered the door.

The husband of this family is a man who is not good at words, he just nodded sullenly as a greeting.On the other hand, the woman who was tidying up the yard raised her head and said with a warm smile, "You two big brothers, you are also watching things, sit inside, come in quickly."

The middle-aged woman poured a bowl of sugar water for the two of them. Xu You took it and sincerely said thank you. Xu You came from the countryside, so he naturally knew that sugar water is a good treat for guests. Willing to drink.

"The two elder brothers are also from Modu?" The middle-aged woman sat down beside her husband after pouring out the sugar water.

My man doesn't know how to do business at all, and if he buys things, he will definitely lose money.

"Sister-in-law, I belong to Shangyu, this is my little brother, he is the buyer." Zhao Shun drank a bowl of sugar water and felt very comfortable.

"Hi sister-in-law, I saw two screens in your house when I walked in just now, can you let me see?" Xu Wei didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point. Xu You doesn't care too much about this now.

Xu You has been thinking about the thing he saw in Yue's house before. Although the items in this house are special, Xu You's main target is still in Yue's house.

Coming here is just a dispensable way to pass the time.

"Hey, big brother, wait a minute." Knowing Xu Wei's purpose, the woman hurriedly dragged her husband into the room, and moved out the screen that had just been put in.

The two screens should be a pair, on which is the story of The West Chamber carved with deep carving techniques.

The carving is smooth, the depth is distinct, the depiction is neat, and the figures are graceful.

The facial expressions of the characters are sculpted lifelike, the expression is focused, the clothes are flying, and the whole work is lifelike.

A pair of screen holders, stable and grand, looks like a very beautiful study decoration.

The most important thing is the material. Xu Wei touched it with his hands and immediately concluded that it was made of ivory.

Compared with wood, ivory carved objects are generally not large, and occasionally there is a large object, and the price will definitely not be low.

Take the screen in front of Xu You as an example. A single screen is fifty centimeters wide and sixty centimeters high. It must be the ivory of an adult elephant to throw such a large screen.

What's more, this is a pair, not to mention the price, but to say that such a large ivory interstitial screen is as milky as the skin of a beautiful woman. A single set is already very shocking.

"Sister-in-law, is this something from your own house?" Xu Wei asked casually, seeing the faces of the two couples turn black, he quickly explained, "I was misunderstood, sister-in-law, I just want to confirm, after all This thing is pretty good, and it’s quite expensive, so I’m afraid something will go wrong.”

After hearing Xu Wei's explanation, the two of them looked better. When the woman heard Xu Wei say that this item was valuable, she stopped being angry. Let’s just say, this item was also distributed to our family by the village committee back then, and we originally wanted to keep it at home, and in the future, it will also be a family heirloom.”

Speaking of this, the woman's eyes turned red, "My two children both went to college. They originally went to college, took care of the job, and allocated a house to the unit, but now, the eldest son finally graduated from a key university and entered the university. State-owned enterprises, but the house can only be solved by itself.

Big brother, tell me, our couple can’t save a lot of money a year. If we live frugally for a year, we can buy a large toilet in the city.This boy has no house, how can he marry a wife? "

Xu Youte smiled awkwardly. Indeed, the welfare housing distribution is gradually being cancelled, which is also the reason why Chen Zhibei's real estate company can flourish now.

"Besides, we also have a daughter. A daughter doesn't need a house, but she has to have a dowry when she gets married, right? People in the city have lost money. If there is no dowry, a daughter will suffer if she marries." The middle-aged woman broke up one by one. He said, and shed two tears while talking.

It has to be said that in this way, Xu Wei really doesn't want to put down all his strength to lower the price. This is definitely more deceiving than the saying of family heirloom.

"Sister-in-law, this thing is really beautiful, but you also know that it's just a decoration, not suitable for eating or wearing, and I can't afford it if it's too expensive. I also know a little about the current housing prices. How about it, I'll give it to you For 20 yuan, if you add a little more, you can buy a house in Shanghai." Xu You took his eyes off the ivory screen and discussed the price with the middle-aged woman in a serious manner.

"This is not going to work, big brother, you are adding more. Those few people paid 28 just now, and we are not willing to sell it, so add more."

In fact, the middle-aged woman was already moved, but the experience of setting up a stall and selling vegetables all the year round told her that she could add a little more.

"25, no more, I just brought this money." Xu Wei didn't tell her anything, and raised it by [-].

The middle-aged woman wants to add more, but her husband thinks this is enough, "That's all right, big brother, I will give you an account number, you can make a phone transfer, and the things will be yours."

Xu You blinked, this big brother is quite trendy and knows how to transfer money by phone.

Xu Wei wired the money according to the account number provided by the other party, and then the middle-aged woman quickly entered the house, made a call with the landline at home, and then ran out in a hurry.

"Father, it's done. The account has arrived. Da Zhu is already going to buy a house. It's the house in Shangcheng Jiayuan that I saw last time."

When the middle-aged man heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face. Before that, his face had been tense.

Xu Wei wrapped the pair of ivory screens with cotton cloth and put them in a box, thinking in his heart, this Shangcheng Jiayuan sounds very familiar, as if he hears it often.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu You didn't remember where he heard it, so he put it aside and didn't think about it anymore.

This time, until now, it can be regarded as a small profit.

The ivory interstitial screen is beautiful in shape and rare in materials. If you are lucky, you can fetch 60 to [-] yuan if you are lucky.

It doesn't matter even if it fails the auction. Nowadays, all countries in the world are banning the killing of elephants and obtaining ivory.

So in the next few years, the price of this ivory interstitial screen will increase, and the price will rise in a straight line.

Although Xu You has a certain dislike for this kind of artwork made of animal body parts, but this ivory screen is really beautiful, and besides, this family looks really pitiful.

Of course, Xu You also knows that what the couple said in the conversation just now is absolutely exaggerated. In fact, they must not be as nervous as they said. They even know how to transfer money by phone. I will use it.

"I said Xiao Er, I think you really don't know how to do business." Zhao Shun hugged the screen, and walked towards the place with Xu Wei, chatting and paying attention to the surrounding situation.

"Oh, I was good at bargaining at the beginning, but when I got rich, I didn't think it was necessary to be so ruthless. The reason why people want to sell the things at home is because something happened at home and they needed money. If I play hard at this point, it feels a little, um, not good."

Xu You didn't understand what kind of mentality he was in now, he felt like an old man.

"It's good for you, anyway, your family doesn't need you to worry about making money." Zhao Shun shook his head, feeling very vicissitudes.

As for Zhao Shun suddenly talking to him as if he was a different person, Xu Wei almost didn't realize it all at once.

But looking back, Zhao Shun is older than Chen Zhibei, and he has been in the special forces for five or six years, so that's normal.

The next day Xu Er asked Chen Fu about the situation of the family separation yesterday, and vaguely understood what he liked and whose hands it was in now.

Chen Fu didn't hide it either. After all, if someone comes here, he can't let the other party return empty-handed.

For Xu Wei's arrival, the second elder brother of the Yue family still welcomes him very much.

I heard from my brother-in-law yesterday that this young man who came with me wanted to collect some things from the village and give them gifts.

Yue Laoer also knows about this. Many people in the city now like these old things. They say they are antiques.

When I separated yesterday, I deliberately picked out two strange things, just to get a good price in the city.

Since someone came to the door, Yue Lao Er would naturally not let it go, and it would save money on the round-trip fare, he would be a fool if he didn't do it.

Before coming to Yue Er Er's house, Xu Wei knew that no matter what he chose, the other party would definitely open his mouth, but Xu Wei did not expect that the other party's asking price was so high, and he would not let go at all.

"50, not a penny less." Yue Erer sat opposite Xu You, smoking a sweaty cigarette, with a shrewd look on his face.

Xu You looked at the Dehua white porcelain Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara statue on the table in confusion, thinking that he really encountered a rascal this time.

In fact, this is not what Xu You was looking for, because he knew that this person was difficult to deal with, so when Xu You first entered the room, he didn't look at the item he wanted to buy, but took the Dehua piece on the table. The white porcelain statue of Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands wants to test the other party's psychological price.

50 is a bit expensive for this piece of Dehua white porcelain, but it is indeed very cheap for the thing Xu You wants to buy.

"Brother, your price is really too expensive. As you can see, I am a student with a little spare money. I really can't afford 50 yuan. How about this? Let me see how much that small teapot costs. Buy that." Xu You looked at the Dehua white porcelain Thousand-handed Avalokitesvara statue on the table with a look of embarrassment, and then reluctantly looked at the small teapot on the other side.

"This? Uh, this is 20." Yue Laoer didn't know whether these things were worth much, but this did not prevent him from asking a price that he thought was relatively high.

"20, this, second brother, you see, I am a friend of Brother Chen, can you make it cheaper?" Xu Wei pulled out Chen Fu and started to play the family card.

"That's 18, little brother. It's not that I'm reluctant to lower the price. You also know that these things are handed down from my ancestors. Selling one of them is like cutting my flesh. It hurts."

Yue Lao Er held his chest with reluctance, if he hadn't been there when the family was separated, Xu Wei would definitely be fooled by his acting skills.

"Then, that's 18. I, I didn't bring that much money. Brother, do you have a card?" Xu Wei clutched her bag with a painful expression on her face. It seemed that she really loved and loved the price of this pot. hatred.

"Transfer the money, I have a card." Yue Laoer didn't think it was a thing at all, took out a bank card from his arms, and shook it.

After that, Xu You's face was full of heartache, entanglement, and remorse, until they got into the car and walked back. Shaking away, she wanted to share her joy, but she didn't know how to speak.

"Is this a good buy?"

Zhao Shun was chatting with Xu Wei while driving the car.

"Of course, this purple clay teapot is a good thing. That Yue Laoer is ignorant and thought that the first thing I saw was the Dehua white porcelain Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara. boutique."

Zhao Shun recalled the appearance of the so-called purple sand pot in his mind, and shook his head helplessly after a long time, not understanding what these cultural people thought, the Guanyin statue was also very beautiful in his opinion, and the so-called The purple clay teapot is full of pits and hollows, which is ugly no matter how you look at it.

It seems that my own aesthetics are the same as that of Yue Laoer, and I can't get along with cultural people.

I don't know how Beizi half chatted with his wife. The concept is so different, can they communicate?
