Chapter 13: Golden Grasshopper Cage

Seeing Pei Miao turn and leave, Xue Yang panicked for no reason, and suddenly honked the car horn.

Pei Miao turned around in doubt, returned to the car window, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xue Yang stroked a lock of hair on the sideburns, and explained awkwardly: "No, I... accidentally touched the steering wheel."

"Oh." Pei Miao nodded, and was about to turn around and leave again.

Xue Yang suddenly said: "That... my surname is Li, my full name is Li Xueyang, Xueyang is my stage name."

Pei Miao didn't know why she said this all of a sudden, but since she said it all, he nodded and said, "Well, I see, Li Xueyang, it's very nice." After speaking, he grinned and waved at her, "Hurry up! Let's go back."

Seeing Pei Miao waving goodbye, Li Xueyang's mood improved a little, and he drove away slowly, the taillights gradually disappearing into the night.

"Fuck! Say goodbye to the beauty Yiyi!" A voice came from behind Pei Miao.

Pei Miao turned around, and saw a thin young man in his 20s coming out of the store, smiling as he walked, it was his college buddy Shulong.

Pei Miao smiled, stepped forward, and said, "There's no Yiyi saying goodbye, don't talk nonsense."

"Oh, I'm still shy." Shulong raised his eyebrows with a mean smile, "I don't know you yet, tell me, which girl is so powerful that made your iron tree bloom."

"Really not..." Pei Miao was so depressed that she didn't know how to explain it.

While the two were talking, they walked into Shulong's antique shop.

Shulong's antique shop is called Jubaozhai, the name is very tall, but the shop is very small, only [-] square meters on the first floor, and the second floor is where Shulong eats and lives.

The name of the shop Jubaozhai was picked up by Shulong. When he went to register the shop, there happened to be an old shop that wanted to cancel the shop. The name was Jubaozhai. Shulong immediately gave the name of the shop and registered it.

After Pei Miao walked into the store, in order to change the subject, she couldn't help saying, "Hey, there seem to be more things in the store."

"What's the use of it?" Shulong sighed helplessly, "There are only four real things, and the total is less than 50."

Pei Miao asked, "How's business going?"

"You really don't know which pot you can't open and carry." Shulong said with a depressed face, "A small shop like mine, there is no good stuff in the shop, so how can the business be good? My shop has been open for more than a year. , Accounting last month, over the past year, after excluding all food and drink expenses, I have earned 5 yuan, thanks to the fact that you refused when I invited you over, otherwise the two of us would drink Northwest Wind even now Everyone has to rush to drink."

"It's already very good." Pei Miao comforted, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. When you expand the supply of goods in the future, the business in the store will naturally improve. In the future, if I find good goods, I will send them here for you to sell."

Shulong rolled his eyes at him and said, "What good stuff do you have?"

Pei Miao raised her eyebrows: "Today I really brought good stuff."

As he spoke, he took off the backpack, took out a ball of cotton wool from inside, and slowly peeled off the cotton wool, revealing the blue and white porcelain snuff bottle inside.

"Blue and white porcelain snuff bottle?" Shulong's eyes lit up when he saw the snuff bottle, and he hurriedly said, "Let me have a look."

Pei Miao put the snuff bottle on the table, Shulong picked up the snuff bottle, took out a high-gloss flashlight, pointed at the snuff bottle, and carefully examined the details of the snuff bottle.

Since this snuff bottle was an object with a wide open door, the tree dragon exclaimed after only one glance: "Oh my God, the orchid-pattern thin-bodied snuff bottle from the Qianlong official kiln is exquisite, absolutely exquisite! Where did you get this kind of snuff bottle?" nice one?"

"It was picked up." Pei Miao smiled triumphantly, "How about it, isn't it a good thing?"

"Good thing!" Shulong nodded again and again, "The good thing that opens the door starts at least 55! You can actually pick up such a big leak, enough for you to brag about for three years!"

Pei Miao said, "I'll sell it to you for 50 yuan, and you can put it in the store."

"I..." Shulong stopped cooking suddenly, put down the snuff bottle slowly, and said with a depressed face, "All the funds in my store now add up to only 18."

Pei Miao was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect the situation in the Shulong store to be so bad, with only 18 funds, no wonder he couldn't receive good goods.

He thought for a while and said, "Then put it on sale in your store and give you 10% of the counter (sales) fee."

The tree dragon was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "10% is too much, 5% is enough. Put this stuff in my store and it can bring me business."

Pei Miao shook his head and said, "Let's say 10%. Since your store opened until now, as your good brother, I haven't been able to help you at all. On the contrary, I often borrow money from you. You have never been stingy with me. .”

Hearing the words, Shulong laughed and said: "You have said that, then I will accept your kindness, um, I want to get a c position for this snuff bottle." He picked up the snuff bottle and said happily Came to the Bogu stand, sorted out the middle position, and put the snuff bottle on it.

Shulong had just put the snuff bottle away, but when he turned around, he found that Pei Miao had taken out a bamboo pen holder from his backpack. He hurried forward, looked at the pen holder, and exclaimed, "What a carver, what is the origin of this pen holder?" ?”

Pei Miao laughed and said, "I picked it up with the snuff bottle, Zhu Songlin's bamboo carving pen holder from the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove."

"Zhu Songlin?!" Shulong exclaimed when he heard the words, he was so excited that he wanted to reach out for the pen holder, but then realized that this was against the rules, so he stopped his hand embarrassingly.

Pei Miao smiled, put the pen container on the counter, and said, "Take a look, it's definitely the real thing."

Shulong hurriedly picked up the pen holder and inspected it carefully. As for the carving, he couldn't see why. After all, although the carving was good, his faction was not obvious, and he didn't have some of the classic carving habits that Zhu Songlin had after he became famous. The three big characters of Zhu Songlin are actually carved by Zhu Songlin himself, and the style is obvious. Generally, the signatures of these master sculptors and painters have their own unique styles and habits, and they are not easy to change. Even if they change, there are still traces. Followable.

"It's really Zhu Songlin's bamboo carving!" Shulong was so excited that he hurriedly asked Pei Miao, "Is this also for consignment in my shop?"

Pei Miao nodded, "It's also 10% of the counter fee. In the future, everything I put on sale with you will be 10% of the counter fee."

"Wow, you are going to take off, and you brought me two heavyweight babies at once." The tree dragon grinned happily, "I have opened the store for a year, and all the things I have sold are not as good as This pen holder is worth a fortune."

Pei Miao reminded with a smile: "Find a c seat for this pen holder too."

"Must be C!" Shulong quickly took the pen holder and walked to another ancient shelf, put aside a blue and white porcelain jar from the Xianfeng period in the middle, and put the pen holder on it.

After putting away the snuff bottle, Shulong turned around and said, "Stay and have dinner with me, and I will drive you back later."

"That's great." Pei Miao nodded happily.

Shulong immediately took out his mobile phone and started ordering takeaway.

Pei Miao sent a message to Sister Niu, telling her that she would not be going back for dinner tonight.

10 minutes later, the takeaway was delivered. Because of the joy of the day, Shulong ordered a lot of dishes. The two closed the store and set up a folding wooden table on the second floor to eat. Since they had to drive later, the two replaced it with drinks. Drinking wine, eating and drinking, chatting at the same time, chatting from school life to the bitterness after entering the society, I was so sad for a while, and I ate a meal for two and a half hours.

At ten o'clock, Shulong drove Pei Miao home in his Great Wall pickup, and sent him all the way to the outside of the community.

When Pei Miao returned to the residence, she found that Sister Niu was half asleep on the sofa in her pajamas, and the TV was still on.

Pei Miao stepped forward and gently woke up Sister Niu.

Sister Niu woke up, saw Pei Miao, immediately raised her wrist to look at her watch, and said, "It's already 10:30, where did you go for dinner, and you're back so late?"

Pei Miao smiled and said, "I ate at my old classmate's shop. I haven't seen you for a long time. When we chatted, I forgot the time."

"Oh." Sister Niu got up and said, "Drink, I made you some hangover soup."

"Didn't drink." Pei Miao said, "Sister, don't be too busy, go to bed quickly, sleeping late is not good for your skin."

"Yeah." Sister Niu nodded, got up and put on her fluffy slippers, and told her, "Go to bed earlier, don't read."

"Got it, ma'am."

Sister Niu turned off the TV and went back to her room to rest, and Pei Miao also went back to her room to rest.

Back in the room, Pei Miao immediately took off the backpack and painting tube on his back, and then looked around, trying to find a good place to hide the painting. Such a precious painting must be hidden, even if he knew that no one would be able to hide it. Stealing must also be hidden, after all, it is too expensive.

However, his room was not big, and he couldn't find any good place, so he could only put it in the closet and cover it with clothes.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Pei Miao still got up at six o'clock, went out for a run, and came back to have breakfast. After breakfast, he was ready to go, but sister Niu suddenly called him to stop him and asked him to practice yoga with her.

Pei Miao was not too good at refusing, so he practiced yoga with Sister Niu. At first, he thought that he would be done with a little perfunctory, but Sister Niu wanted to make him a yoga master, carefully correcting his every movement, and even helping him to compress himself. Legs and body contact are inevitable. Sister Niu has a good figure, and the yoga clothes are tight-fitting, which highlights her figure very much. Pei Miao was distracted for a while and had a physiological reaction. He could only try his best to cover it up. Very embarrassing.

After tossing and tossing for nearly four or ten minutes, Pei Miao couldn't take it anymore, insisted that she had something to do, and escaped.

Pei Miao took the subway to Chaotiangong Antique Market and walked all the way to Shulong's antique shop. There were many people setting up street stalls on the way. Although there were many old-looking things on the street stalls, Pei Miao knew that the inside of these things , less than 1% of them can be called antiques. If you want to find leaks in this, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

When he was thinking about this idea, he suddenly stopped, because he saw a small gadget on the side of a stall that caught his attention. Through the ability of his eyes, he could see that the gadget made four circles. The brilliance proves that this thing is something from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Pei Miao turned around and walked to the stall.

The owner of the stall is a 37-year-old middle-aged man, wearing an extended blue down jacket, a fur hat, and furry ear clips on his ears. He has complete cold-proof equipment.

Seeing Pei Miao coming to his stall, the boss smiled and said, "How about it? What are you looking for? Handsome guy."

"Just take a look." Pei Miao squatted down, picked up things one by one from his stall to look at, and shook his head pretendingly after finishing an item.

Seeing him shaking his head, the vendor said, "Handsome guy, these are all good things you're looking at."

Pei Miao smiled and said, "I really don't see what's good about it."

As he spoke, he picked up a black grasshopper cage, and said, "Sell such a dark thing, isn't it shameful?"

He said it was very disgusting, but he was actually very nervous because this grasshopper cage was his target.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he activated the ability of his right hand to check the internal situation of the grasshopper cage. Seeing this, he was very happy. This grasshopper cage turned out to be a good thing with a lot of background.

The boss said: "This is a good thing. This is lacquerware from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Look at this lacquer carving, how detailed it is."

"Really?" Pei Miao pretended to pick up the grasshopper cage and looked through it for a long time, then murmured, "The black is red, the patina is very old, it does look like ancient lacquerware, and the carving... Well, how do you sell this stuff?"

The boss raised a finger and said with a smile, "One hundred thousand."

Pei Miao put the grasshopper cage back on the booth, and said, "Go on and find the next one to take advantage of." After saying that, she was ready to get up.

"Ai ai ai ai, don't worry." The boss quickly stopped him and said, "How much do you say, you can pay back the price."

Pei Miao picked up the grasshopper cage and looked at it for a while, then said, "50 yuan."

The boss was taken aback when he heard the words, and frowned and said: "Handsome guy, you didn't pay the price like this, one, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, you just gave me three units, this is Qing Dynasty after all. objects."

Pei Miao thought for a while and said, "One hundred."

The boss was a little speechless for a while, and said slowly: "Handsome guy, are you sincerely buying it?"

Pei Miao said, "Then how much did you say?"

The boss raised a finger again: "Ten thousand, you won't lose money if you ask anywhere for this price."

Pei Miao shook his head, and said slowly: "You lowered it by ten times, then I will raise it by ten times, one thousand, don't fool me just because I am young, the price of lacquerware is already low, and you Lacquerware... To be honest, the carving is really not good, and the object is so small, I think it is expensive for a thousand."

Seeing that Pei Miao turned out to be an expert, the boss couldn't help laughing dryly, "Add more, add more."

Pei Miao said: "It's only one thousand, please tell me if you can make a deal."

The boss pretended to be helpless, and sighed: "Okay, one thousand is one thousand, I reluctantly give up, and open a shop!"

Pei Miao took the grasshopper cage in her hand, took out her mobile phone and scanned the QR code to pay a thousand.
