Chapter 12 Before the old man's birthday

Jiang Qianqian felt very unlucky today. Her relatives came a few days early, which made her unprepared. She had to go home not long after she left the house. I tripped and the blood flowed outside.She was slightly dizzy again, so she had no choice but to ignore the blood stains on the ground and go to the toilet to get rid of her pants first. Unexpectedly, just after taking off the pants and trying to wipe off the blood stains, Su Nantian broke in.

Su Nantian saw that he was about to wipe the blood between his legs with a towel, and he knew what was going on with the aunt's towel on the side. He smiled brightly, and saw a nozzle flying over .

Su Nantian touched the bag on his head, followed behind Jiang Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, I was wrong, don't be angry, okay, I am also worried about you." Jiang Qianqian looked at him angrily and said, like you Yeah, I'm telling you, if my grandpa doesn't like the gift you picked, you're screwed. "

Just now Su Nantian was hit by Jiang Qianqian with a nozzle, and then he was flattened, but Jiang Qianqian seemed to forget that he was not wearing pants, so... After a while, Jiang Qianqian's parents called and said they were going to participate Her grandfather's eightieth birthday.After Jiang Qianqian hung up the phone, she gave Su Nantian a blank look, and said, "It's all your fault, I almost forgot my grandpa's birthday." Su Nantian apologized and thought, "It's none of my business, it's obviously You forgot." As he spoke, he remembered his ability, and said, "Let me help you choose a gift, and let me tell you, I am a man who has gambled three times in a row." As he spoke, Su Nantian patted Shoulder. "Really? My grandpa likes antiques the most, but I have never bought a real antique, but my grandpa told me several times." Jiang Qianqian said, and then the above scene began.

In order to make amends, Su Nantian took the initiative to ask for a gift for Jiang Qianqian's grandfather, and Jiang Qianqian happily took Su Nantian to an antique street she used to go to. Only then did Su Nantian know that there was more than one antique street in Suzhou City. But I didn't expect that the antique street had changed land, and Jiang Qianqian didn't know other places.At this time, Su Nantian saw the opportunity coming, and took the initiative to say: "Qianqian, go to that street I have been to before." Jiang Qianqian agreed when she heard this.

Along the way, Jiang Qianqian was explaining her grandfather's hobbies to Su Nantian. After listening for a long time, Su Nantian realized that she liked to collect porcelain, calligraphy and paintings. "Su Nantian, my grandpa's birthday is the day after tomorrow. What do you think I should give you?" Jiang Qianqian scratched her head and said, "Don't make the price too high. I can't afford it if it's too high. Also, I bought it for my grandpa before." A sapphire brand belt, but when my grandfather saw it, he was so angry that he was half dead, and I don’t know why? You don’t.”

Fortunately, Su Nantian has learned about antiques recently, and there is something about this in it. "Qianqian, let me tell you, if it is really the kind of belt used by the prince, your grandpa will definitely not be angry. It is probably your grandpa who saw that it is fake. This thing, you know the fake belt. What is the sign made of?"

Jiang Qianqian shook her head and looked at Su Nantian with puzzled eyes, and replied: "I don't know." Su Nantian saw it, and said secretly in his heart: This effect is what he wants, and said: "You know the golden hazel jade clothes of the Han Dynasty. The reason why the golden jade garment is precious is that it uses gold thread to wear jade pieces to make a human-shaped attire. That thing is worn on the dead to accompany the burial. Many ancient tombs were robbed by tomb robbers. The gold threads in the jade clothes were all stolen, but no one touched the remaining pieces of jade, because strictly speaking, that kind of jade is not white jade, but sapphire, and from the perspective of the jade itself, it is not It is not very high-end, it is used as a kind of attire for the dead. Although the sapphire itself is not valuable, and the things that the dead got are not easy to sell. There is a characteristic, it is relatively thick, carved with dragon patterns and phoenix patterns on it, and then put them together in large and small sizes, wrap it with gold or alloy and put it in a box, and it becomes a set of princes. The belt you used. I reckon that the belt you sold to your grandfather came from that way, and it’s no wonder your grandfather is not angry when he sees it.”

"Really, how could those people do this?" Jiang Qianqian said angrily after hearing this, and then said on a whim: "Why don't I buy Tang Sancai for my grandfather, I think it's quite popular in recent years." When Su Nantian heard this, he thought about how his aunt always gave such dirty things, and said, "Don't, let me tell you, you can give Tang Sancai as a gift, but you must never put it in the house. Also, Don’t give it away on your grandfather’s birthday, this Tang Sancai is for the dead to be buried with.”

After hearing this, Jiang Qianqian stuck out her tongue and said, "Come on, I won't talk anymore, why is everything I thought of so bad. Hurry up and go to the Antique Street to have a look."

When Su Nantian heard the same, he quickened his pace and turned into the antique street with seven turns.After finally going in, Jiang Qianqian couldn't help but said, "This antique street is like a mouse hole." Su Nantian glanced at her, and said helplessly, "I felt the same way when I first came here."

The two walked casually on the street, both sides of the road were filled with small stalls with antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and many of the stalls were full of people, compared to the business of antique shops is very cold, but it doesn't matter, this The shops in the antique street are not the same as the jewelry shops and gold and silver shops outside. If they are shops outside, they buy styles and are popular, just like the souvenir jewelry shops and brand gold jewelry shops today. But it's sales. If the business is deserted to this extent, it must die.But the shops in the antique street are different. They don’t need to sell a lot of goods, they only need one piece to sell for a sky-high price. As a result, the subordinates made a mistake and sold something cheap, which would be a big loss.Those who know how to pick up street stalls, and those who don’t know how to go shopping, this is because the things on the street stalls are cheap, but there are many fakes.The same thing can sell for four to five thousand in the store, but it can be sold for four to five hundred on the street stalls. Moreover, there are palm eyes in the shop. If it is a good thing, the price will not be low. Don't even think about making a fortune, it's better to go to the street stall and have a look, maybe you can build a leak and make a small fortune.And those who can afford to open an antique shop are not interested in doing business with those who want to pick up the leaks. Their goal is the big customers.If a big customer can take away a thing in their store, it means that the store has earned more than half a month's money.

Su Nantian inquired about the more famous shops here, and someone recommended a shop called Bishengxuan, and enthusiastically pointed the way.After having a goal, he slowly walked around.

Su Nantian wandered around, didn't see any antiques he liked, but found a lot of shops in one place that bought rough jadeite, but those rough stones didn't look very good, Su Nantian secretly used his own ability After observing it, since there is a gas in his brain space, his ability can see through only by looking, instead of touching one by one like before. He found that there are no good quality emeralds in it, poor He didn't like it either, so he didn't want to buy it at all. Looking at the expressions of the people around him, he knew that many people came with the idea of ​​making a jadeite to get rich overnight. The families are ruined.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly realized that even poor-quality jade could charge space.So, I went up and picked a few pieces of wool and bought them. The boss saw that these pieces of wool were not very good, so he didn't raise the price.At this time, Jiang Qianqian couldn't stand it anymore and asked, do you think there is any jade in your woolen material?Su Nantian said with a smile, "I can't tell."

It happened that someone nearby was dissecting the stone, so Su Nantian stared at it without blinking, and soon he knew that there was no jade inside.Jiang Qianqian who was beside him didn't know, so she said, "Look, where is such a big stone, there will be jadeite." Su Nantian heard this, and couldn't understand whether to laugh or cry, "That's not necessarily true. It doesn’t mean that the bigger the better.” Sure enough, a hole in the ten-kilo-sized wool material was cut, and the inside was full of white cotton, with no interesting green traces.The machine cut the wool again and again, and the wool became less and less. The owner of the wool couldn't hold back anymore, and said, "Just cut it from the middle." The result is white cotton on both sides, which is a piece of worthless waste. .Not reconciled.The middle-aged man directly picked up the grinding wheel and cut it three times, but he didn't see any green. He spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a piece of white cotton wool. The middle-aged man's complexion was very difficult to turn around and leave.When it was time for Su Nantian's wool, Jiang Qianqian was very excited. When the first piece of wool was cut, she sighed deeply.After a while, when the few pieces of wool were finished, Jiang Qianqian's eyes were already shining with gold stars.Because half of Sunantian's few pieces of wool produced jadeite, even though it was not a good jadeite.

He saw a store selling walnuts nearby, so he said, I'll go and have a look at the walnuts.

Jiang Qianqian was puzzled and asked: "What's so good about walnuts?" Su Nantian explained: "Walnuts are a good thing. They are not only fitness equipment, but also not only a piece of art, but also a collection of toys for playing, exercising, and viewing." [In the process of playing with walnuts, people use the spikes, protrusions and edges of walnuts to move their hands with techniques such as kneading, rubbing, pressing, piercing, pinching, rubbing, rolling, etc., pressing and piercing the acupuncture points on the palms to stimulate the hands. The upper reaction zone achieves the effects of relaxing the meridian and dredging the collaterals, promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, and strengthening the body. It is just right for the elderly.”

He put away the jade, walked to the only walnut stall on the side, squatted down, picked up a few walnuts at random, looked at them, and put them down again.He found that most of the walnuts here are iron walnuts, which are good for beginners, but they are probably not very good as gifts, but anyone who has played with walnuts knows that this should not be determined. If there is a walnut of the opposite sex, or there are high similarity , which is also valuable.

Su Nantian glanced at it just now, and saw a few walnuts with tiger heads, which looked alike, but it was a pity that they were mixed in with the walnuts and disappeared.Su Nantian got up and asked Jiang Qianqian what he meant, and Jiang Qianqian asked, "You said I would like it too?" "Yes, the old man likes this kind the most." Jiang Qianqian gritted her teeth and said, "That's good , I want it. But it’s too much to buy all of them.” Su Nantian explained, “I just saw a few top-quality walnuts in there, and I might not be able to pick them out for a while, and they jumped out to show the stall owner I'm afraid it might be cheaper to buy them all now." Jiang Qianqian agreed after hearing this.

Su Nantian squatted down again and asked the stall owner, "How do you sell these walnuts?"

The stall owner replied: "Ten yuan a piece, 20 a pile."

After hearing this, Su Nantian simply picked up the bag of walnuts.

At this time, the people next to you were not happy. You said that others were picking on you and suddenly took things away.

The old man was not happy anymore, Su Nantian interrupted him just as he was about to speak, and went directly to "Old version, I want all your walnuts."

The boss's face turned cloudy in an instant, he wrapped the walnuts quickly, handed them to Su Nantian, and said, "I have [-] walnuts here, but they haven't been sold yet, if you want, take them for [-] yuan. "

Su Nantian gave Jiang Qianqian a look, and Jiang Qianqian went to pay the money.
