Chapter 29 Statues from the Antique Warehouse

Two days later, Dong Zhi came to visit early that morning. Zhang Sui was drinking tofu curd and explaining to Aunt Liu how to make fried dough sticks. When Dong Zhi arrived, he asked him to sit down and eat something together.

Dong Zhi did not refuse, sat down generously, and said to Zhang Sui: "Master Sui, the second master of the Huang family asked me to come over and invite you over. He said that a batch of things prepared for you has arrived. Please come over and take a look."

Zhang Sui was a little surprised and said: "So fast? It seems that Mr. Huang is very interested in Hualu's cooperation! Okay, I understand. Let's have breakfast first and then go there. Try this tofu puff, there is no such thing outside now

It’s sold and tastes good.”

Dong Zhi thanked him, picked up a bowl of tofu puffs, followed the old way of adding a little sucrose to the bowl, took a sip, frowned, looked at the bowl of salty marinade next to him, picked up a spoon and scooped out some

I poured a spoon on the tofu buns and took another bite. My eyes lit up and I praised: "It's still delicious with salty brine!"

Zhang Sui, who was eating sweet tofu bread at the side, glanced at him and said in his heart: "Another salty gangster!"

After dinner, Zhang Sui tidied up, took Fang Xiong with him, and followed Dong Zhi toward the Huang family's largest antique shop. Fang Xiong also brought the mixed iron rod in the car, and he could clearly see the movements of the horses pulling the cart.

There was a pause.

When they arrived at Huang's antique store, Zhang Sui got out of the car and looked up at the signboard. He was sure that he had been to this store when he took Fang Xiong to visit various antique stores after negotiating a deal with Huang Jian a few days ago, but he just didn't get anything.

But this shop left a deep impression on Zhang Sui, because the waiters in this shop are all women, which is rare in shops in this area.

When I walked into the store, I saw Huang Jian, the second son of the Huang family, waving his fancy folding fan and teasing something with a beautiful waitress, making the waitress blush.

When Huang Jian saw Zhang Sui and the others coming in, he immediately became serious. He left the waitress behind and came up to him with a smile. He said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, please come in quickly. I've been exhausted these past few days. For your things, I'm so tired."

The entire Huang family in Southwest China is busy."

Zhang Sui was startled and said: "Brother Huang, I didn't rush you so urgently, did I?"

Huang Jian raised his thumb and said: "Brother Zhang is really valued in your Zhang family. We had a good talk with Zhang Yan clan elders a few days ago, but after a word came out from your Zhang family, the two families immediately stopped talking.

negotiation."

Zhang Sui asked curiously: "Why is that?"

Huang Jian sighed: "I asked around, and it seems that the mistress of your Zhang family sent us a message, asking us to prepare what you want first, and then we can continue the conversation when you are satisfied. No, our entire Huang family has been forced to

Get busy, if your flower dew hadn't made our family's master full of praise, how could it be like this with the way our Huang family behaves in Kunzhou Prefecture?"

When Zhang Sui heard this, he knew what was going on. It was probably due to the easing of the relationship with the Zhang family's mistress and the contribution of the pamphlet he sent out.

Zhang Sui thought to himself: "It seems that things are going well for the family. If the relationship with the family hadn't eased and the family had said something, I don't know how long the Huang family would delay their demands on me. How could we have what we have now?"

This kind of efficiency?”

Zhang Sui figured this out and smiled and said to Huang Jian: "That's just because my mother doesn't want a brat like me to suffer. Please don't mind, Brother Huang."

Huang Guizheng twice, pointing to Zhang Sui said: "Your kid is not easy. I heard that your mother did not treat you very much. After you beat Du Zhen, you even drive you out of Zhangfu. Now

You look like you are protecting a calf, don’t tell me that it has nothing to do with you!”

Zhang Sui laughed and didn't want to say more. He changed the subject and asked, "I wonder how many statues Brother Huang has collected for me? Why don't you take me to open my eyes first?"

Seeing that Zhang Sui didn't want to say anything, Huang Jian didn't care. He gave instructions to the waitress and said to Zhang Sui: "Everything is in the warehouse at the back. Let's go take a look together to see if there is anything Zhang Sui can like."

.”

The waitress led the way, and the group of people followed them toward the warehouse behind the store.

When I came to the warehouse in the backyard, I saw four tough men in the yard. Two of them were playing with stone locks in the yard, and the other two were fighting with each other using unopened long knives, hitting the ground back and forth.

.

After Zhang Sui saw them, he didn't feel anything at all. He was used to seeing Fang Xiong's inhuman performance. Looking at them again, it was almost like watching children playing around. Fang Xiong even curled his lips.

Several big men stopped when they saw a group of people coming in. They stepped forward to say hello to Huang Jian. Huang Jian waved and said, "Let's go into the warehouse to look at something and open the door."

Two of the big men nodded, one took a key, and the waitress also took out a key. The three of them came to the door of the warehouse together. The warehouse only had a few small openings for ventilation and no windows.

The door is also made of a five-inch-thick iron plate, with three different locks on it. You can tell at a glance that it was made by a master. The lock only has three keyholes on the iron door, and the others are mixed with the entire iron door.

as one body.

The three of them came forward with the keys and inserted the keys into the keyhole. The waitress shouted three times and the three of them started to work together. Each of them twisted the key in a different way. It seemed that the anti-theft measures were really good.

Zhang Sui watched from the side and admired secretly: "The safety of this lock is completely comparable to those of high-end locks in modern society, and it is also managed by people. It is really defensive to the core! It took so many lessons to sum up this."

.....”

There was a muffled sound from the iron door, and the three of them took a step back. A big man held the door handle, mustered the strength in his hand, shouted deeply, and slowly opened the door.

The waitress first entered the room. Although it was broad daylight, the room was still very dark due to the lack of windows. The waitress stepped forward and lit a few lamps, and the room lit up.

Huang Jian extended his hand to Zhang Sui and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, please!"

Zhang Sui was not polite, still a little excited, and strode directly into the warehouse. Huang Jian smiled and followed him into the warehouse. The others stayed outside the room.

Zhang Sui entered the room and looked around. The warehouse was really not small. It was divided into five areas. On one side were some antiques, on the other side were some books and ancient engravings, on the other side were porcelain and the like, and on the other side were some miscellaneous antiques.

There is also an ancient statue prepared for Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui didn't even glance at the other antiques, and ran directly towards the pile of statues.

It seems that what Huang Jian said is not an exaggeration. When Zhang Sui came to visit a few days ago, there were only two or three ancient statues in this store, and the waiter also said that those were all the statues in the store.

Today, Zhang Sui took a quick look and found that there were at least fifty or sixty of them, some large and some small, including figures, landscapes, animals and plants, and some strange shapes.

Zhang Sui took a general look. Although he was very excited, his expression was still calm. He glanced at Huang Jian. Huang Jian did not say anything, but just stretched out his hand to indicate that he was free to do as he pleased.

Zhang Sui nodded, suppressed his excitement, walked up to the statues, and looked at them carefully. He didn't dare to try them directly, for fear that like touching the barbarian statue, the statue would break into pieces.

Zhang Sui just came closer and felt it carefully, just like feeling the Qingling Qi. He was very experienced in feeling the Qingling Qi. He felt that the power of Doom should be about the same. If he really couldn't feel it in the end, he would try it again.

It's not too late either.

The first thing Zhang Sui looked at were the human statues. From the shape, it was clear that most of them were human. Only a few of the human statues were a little different, such as the male statue with several fox tails and the burly man with horns.

There were also half-human and half-fish statues. He first felt the normal human statues and felt nothing at all.

Then he asked the waitress to help take the half-human and half-animal statues aside. He felt them carefully with anticipation, and soon gave up. Zhang Sui couldn't help but be a little disappointed, because these statues took up all the statues.

Almost half done.

He had no choice but to look at the remaining statues and some of the plants. Zhang Sui touched them one by one with his right hand, but there was no response! He also touched the animals one by one, but there was still no response.

The disappointment in Zhang Sui's heart almost appeared on his face. Zhang Sui secretly took a breath and comforted himself in his heart: "Good things come last, and those pig feet in novels only show their power at the last moment."

Maybe one of the last few will have what I want!”

Lulling himself to sleep, Zhang Sui walked towards the last dozen statues with special shapes.

It's hard to tell what those statues are, and most of them are incomplete.

Huang Jian came forward and said: "I originally wanted to get rid of these, but I thought about what Zhang said, the older and weirder the better. These are the most suitable. I heard from the master in charge of antiques at home.

Said, these are very old things, many of which were brought back from the Southwest battlefield thirty years ago, and these have been stored in the Southwest Jiannan Road antique shop for a long time..." Huang Jian, who felt like he was spilling the beans, laughed sarcastically.

He stopped talking after a moment.

Zhang Sui was overjoyed when he heard this: "Comes from the barbarians?" He hurriedly came closer. At this time, he didn't dare to take action directly, but got closer and felt it carefully.

One, two, three... until the last three statues remain relatively intact.

One is a weird man with insects and snakes wrapped around his body. It's a bit reluctant to say that he is humanoid; the other is an enlarged version of a locust, and the strange thing is that the locust has a human expression; the last one is like a big eyeball.

It’s a child-like thing. It’s covered with blood vessels, and the details of the carving are very careful. At first glance, I thought it looked like real eyeballs were enlarged.

As soon as Zhang Sui got close to the first statue, he suddenly felt a little heat on the fingertips of his right hand. Zhang Sui was so excited that tears filled his eyes. Oh my God, finally a useful one appeared!

How long has it been? Since the first change of the unblocking, there has been no progress. Zhang Sui is often in a daze, wondering if he has thought wrong. This is a martial arts world with a little bit of strange power, and what he imagined

The world of cultivating immortals has nothing to do with Mao. If Zhang Sui didn't pop up the "Book of Wishful Wishes" on his fingertips from time to time at night, Zhang Sui would really believe it.

Now, hope appeared in front of him again, and it's no wonder that Zhang Sui was a little excited and couldn't control himself. Zhang Sui coughed, suppressed the excitement in his heart, pointed at the statue, and said to the waitress: "Give me this pretend

good!"

Huang Jian glanced at the statue and began to murmur again: "Brother Zhang, you have such a strong taste! You actually like this kind of stuff!"

Zhang Sui laughed and ignored him. The waitress stepped forward and carefully picked up the statue, and carefully placed it in a wooden box covered with soft cloth.

Zhang Sui then looked at the last two items. I wonder if the halo of pig's feet played a role. The last two items actually made Zhang Sui feel something. Zhang Sui was overjoyed. He finally enjoyed the treatment of pig's feet. Thank you all the gods.

Buddha, Jesus of the West, Allah! Zhang Sui, the gods on earth, have not spared any of them.

Zhang then asked the waitress to pack the remaining two.

Huang Jian looked at Zhang Sui and looked even more strange. He said to Zhang Sui earnestly: "Playing with antiques is like liking women. You have to find beautiful ones, otherwise it will be easy to lead yourself astray. Brother, listen to my advice, you are like this

It's not easy to find a confidante after starting a hobby. When people ask you what you like, won't you scare them away by showing these things? You are young now, so you should learn from me!" After saying this, he shook coquettishly.

I opened the folding fan and fanned it a few times, and the person also shivered.

Seeing his appearance, Zhang Sui could no longer complain, so he cupped his hands and said, "I can't help it, this is my hobby. I can't learn from Brother Huang's elegant and unrestrained manner, and he is like a jade!"

When Huang Jian heard his compliment, he looked smug and humbly said, "It's just my nature, haha!"

Zhang Sui looked at the three wooden boxes in the maid's hands and wished he could fly back to his home immediately.

Zhang Sui said to Huang Jian, who was still fussing: "Brother Huang, that's it for today. I asked for ten items, and today we have three. Our transaction has officially begun. I will tell my family."

, let them discuss the next cooperation with you as soon as possible, after all, this is a good thing for both of us."

When Huang Jian heard this, he immediately became serious and said: "Then we have to trouble Brother Zhang. We are advancing this matter with the greatest sincerity. Now that Brother Zhang has spoken, I think we will cooperate happily. As for

I will urge my family on the remaining seven statues. Now that I know Brother Zhang’s specific preferences for statues, we should be able to collect them very quickly.”

Zhang Sui heard Huang Jian's words and thanked him: "Then Brother Huang needs to worry more." After a pause, he added: "Brother Huang can tell his family and let them collect as much as possible, even if we have achieved our goal.

For transactions, if there are similar items, as long as I can approve them, I will buy them at the market price and will not make the Huang family busy."

Huang Jian smiled and said: "In that case, we will have a happy cooperation!"

Zhang Sui also nodded and said: "Happy cooperation!"

Seeing that the matter was over, the two of them stepped out of the warehouse.

What is strange is that the four big men just now were huddled beside the warehouse like four quails, while Fang Xiong and Dong Zhi were sitting on the bench outside to rest. Dong Zhi looked embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Zhang Sui didn't pay attention and called out to Fang Xiong. Fang Xiong jumped up and ran over in a few steps.

Zhang Sui pointed to the wooden boxes in the maid's hands and said, "Take these, let's go home." At this time, Zhang Sui really wanted to return home, but he didn't want to show it too obviously.

Fang Xiong responded and stepped forward to take the wooden box. Zhang Sui turned around and said to Huang Jian, "That's it. Brother Huang, I'm taking my leave. Just let me know when you're ready."

Huang Jian nodded in agreement.

Zhang Sui led Fang Xiong towards the door. Dong Zhi looked at Huang Jian, then at Zhang Sui, gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said hello to Huang Jian, turned around and followed Zhang Sui.
