The three of them entered the teahouse, asked for a private room, and then ordered a pot of medium tea priced at 380 yuan. This was Chen Mo's limit. His current total assets were only more than 20,000 yuan, so he could treat the old man and the girl for 380 yuan.
Yuan's tea was already given with care, but the price made him feel heartbroken for a long time. If it had been a while ago, it would have definitely been his food expenses for less than half a month.
However, the old man smiled and was noncommittal. After the tea doctor brought the tea, he picked up the tea cup and drank the tea calmly without saying anything about it. The girl curled her lips and didn't say anything. It was just tea, let's talk about herself.
She is not familiar with Chen Mo, so she just despises him. Moreover, a pot of tea worth 880 yuan is relatively good. She doesn't have any opinion on tea, but once she has an opinion on Chen Mo, she sees everything.
It's pleasing to the eye, the girl's thoughts are so simple.
Drinking tea in the Guanzhong area is not the same as drinking tea in the south. Southerners all drink gongfu tea, or get together with friends, and drink a pot and three cups. This is not the case for northerners, who drink tea in a big bowl.
Gaiwan tea, three forts, etc. are the habits of northerners drinking tea. Large bowls and enjoying tea are the habits of northerners drinking tea.
However, with the spread of Kung Fu Tea in recent years, many Kung Fu Tea tea houses have been seen in the north from time to time. However, although Kung Fu Tea has been introduced in Guanzhong, drinking tea is generally quite generous. The tea house that Chen Mo came to is more in line with northerners.
The special feature is that what comes up is a glass cup and a kettle. There are already tea leaves in the glass cup. Water is poured directly into the glass cup, and the tea leaves rise and fall in the water, which is quite interesting.
"How is it? Have you considered it?" The old man drank tea calmly and then asked after putting down the tea cup.
"I don't know what to call you, old man?" Chen Mo asked. He should be more respectful to older people.
"My surname is He!" the old man said with a smile.
"He Lao!" Chen Mo shouted. The old man just smiled and did not deny the title or say anything else. Not everyone can call himself Mr. He. If Chen Mo doesn't satisfy him later, he will still be separated by the road.
People are wonderful.
Chen Mo also saw the old man's slight alienation from him in the process of calling him Mr. He. However, he didn't care about anything and just did what he had to do. After all, others didn't owe him anything. If the matter was settled later, it would still be like this.
Then walk on each side of the road toward the sky.
"I want to take out one thing from this box first. If it is not damaged, I will sell it to you for one thousand yuan. The reason why I didn't agree to it just now is because there were people on the street talking about it just now.
Secondly, if the things are not taken out, I can't tell the price. But as long as the things inside are taken out, there is no problem in selling this wooden box to you for one thousand yuan." Chen Mo said directly, for strangers, although there are some
It's too direct, but since everyone is in a business relationship, there's no need to worry about it. Besides, this old man looks decent, and he's also following a girl, so there's no such thing as a gangster, and he's not that delicious, so he has to be careful.
He couldn't eat and his teeth fell out.
"Oh? You mean there is something hidden in this wooden box?" The old man was a little surprised. He didn't expect to encounter such a bizarre thing, but he was a little curious.
"Eh? Are you with that group of people? Are you playing a trap within a trap?" The girl's mind was a bit open, wondering if he was with the group of people just now.
, teamed up to deceive his grandfather. This kind of routine is not unheard of, and in the eyes of the girl, Chen Mo is not a good person, so of course she will inevitably be suspicious of him.
Chen Mo smiled and said: "I don't understand antiques, nor do I understand antiques, but I found something wrong with this wooden box, so I spent 1,000 yuan to buy it. When I take out the contents, the wooden box will be sold to you.
It’s okay if you don’t buy it.”
Chen Mo was quite grateful to the girl, because she was able to speak uprightly just now. This kind of girl has a very positive character, and he did not need to care about a girl's words. Of course, he was definitely not because of the girl's bright eyes, white teeth, and charming
You are just cute, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not! Say the important things three times! Well, although you are good-looking, making money is more important.
The girl thought it was right, so she nodded. However, the old man remained silent and smiled lightly. Seeing his granddaughter worried about him was a kind of happiness. He would not say any other unnecessary words. This
No matter what happens, just like what Chen Mo said, if the thing is not good, just don’t pay for it. With his own energy, who else can deceive him? Even if he is deceived, he will be vomited when the time comes.
Come out and lie to yourself, it’s not that easy to lie.
Chen Mo took out a flat-blade screwdriver and a utility knife from his backpack. There were no such tools in the small backpack, but they were just used to hide the things he took out from the Qiankun Pearl. In fact, he bought these tools slowly when he was renting a house.
When I left, since I had the Qiankun Pearl, I naturally took what I could. They were all bought with money. It would be a pity to throw them away. I didn’t expect that I had used the things before I got home, but I found that I was a little confused.
What a foresight!
There was originally a storage bag, but this was Master Ye Shang's love token. In order to respect the deceased, he took out all the other things and left a handful of hair in the storage bag, and then
Putting it into the Qiankun Pearl, and if there is a chance, returning the storage bag to the original owner can be regarded as ending a friendship with Master Ye Shang.
I picked up the wooden box and looked at it carefully, and then I got some insights. The porcelain contained in the wooden box was a vase, so it was relatively large overall. It was more than 30 cm long, 15 cm wide, and about 20 cm thick. There were soft parts inside.
The mat doesn't fit very well with the utensils, and it seems they were all added later. Moreover, the wooden box is relatively old and has a smoky feel.
Chen Mo didn't understand how Mr. He could tell that this thing was from the Republic of China period, and he could also tell that it was made of chicken wing wood. He admired the old man's eyes quite a lot. He looked at it several times but still couldn't understand it. In his own eyes,
This thing is just a broken wooden box. If he didn't have spiritual consciousness, he really wouldn't be able to see the things inside. Suddenly, he thought, could his spiritual consciousness be used to gamble on stones? Isn't it like in some novels?
Is there such a description?
Shaking his head, now is not the time for such random thoughts, there is still a pressing matter at hand. He took out the broken porcelain pieces, soft cushions and yellow silk cloth, and then carefully observed the wooden box with his spiritual consciousness.
"Hey! What are you shaking your head for? Didn't you see something? Isn't this wasting time?" The girl didn't have much patience. Seeing Chen Mo shaking the wooden box, she asked boredly, and glanced at him with some contempt, but
It made his heart tremble a little. The whites of his eyes, the big black eyes, and the moist eyes made him feel comfortable even when he looked at people who despised him. He was so patient! Dizzy! Did he go too far?
Chen Mo didn't reply. He raised his head and glanced at the girl. He quickly lowered his head, otherwise he wouldn't be able to focus on examining the wooden box in his hand. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully observed the wooden box, which allowed him to see something.
I lightly scratched the utility knife along a gap at the bottom a few times, and after trying it, I scratched a few more times, then replaced it with a small flat-blade screwdriver, and under the curious eyes of the old man and the girl, slowly
Push out a small wooden strip on the bottom side, about the thickness of a matchstick. After removing the small wooden strip, the wooden board on the back side can be pulled out. The small wooden strip acts as a wooden wedge.
Turning the wooden box upside down and placing it on the table, the old man and the girl slowly pulled open the wooden plank on the ground. Only then did the old man and the girl discover that the wooden plank and the three side panels had slots, and the slots fit tightly together, very tightly, and were made into a wooden base for the sides.
The bottom and side panels of the box are very thick, about more than one centimeter thick. No wonder it has been left behind until now. If it had been thinner, it would not have been until now that Chen Mo discovered that there was something hidden inside.
The gussets and wooden strips are very finely made. If Chen Mo hadn't scraped off some of the attachments on the side of the wooden box, no one would have been able to tell that this wooden box still had such a mechanism. Moreover, the small wooden strips were very small. Once it lasted for a long time,
If it wasn't for a guy like Chen Mo who has spiritual consciousness, it would be impossible for anyone to use their eyes to see that there is something hidden in this wooden box.
