"Light the fire! Light the fire! Light the fire quickly!"
After receiving the order, Brother Yu immediately lit the fire.
There was only a crackling sound, and the fire suddenly shot into the sky, and the smell of burning filled the air.
"It's done!"
You guessed it right.
The reason why water scorpions sting is because there is residual smell on our clothes. When we take off our old clothes, they gather together, which really attracts a lot of these things!
I found that not only did the moth fly to the flame, this thing has low IQ, but it also flew to the fire, and Brother Yu finally burned it all away.
I heard that there is a dish in Fujian called "Water Scorpion". I don't know who would eat it. Anyway, if I don't eat it, I will never eat it in my life.
After another day of underwater work, we fished out a pile of iron and bronze swords, tied them into piles with ropes, and carried them back to the experimental field.
Lao Guo had never seen so many cultural relics in his life. After roughly understanding their value, he was speechless.
"One...one million? Can these things be sold for that much?"
Dou Yazai said proudly: "Lao Guo, you have been living in this mountain for half your life and have never seen the market. One million is what we said is missing. If you meet a rich boss, you can get two million!"
Lao Guo swallowed and sighed: "My dear, my monthly salary is 650 yuan. I will be thankful to God if I can save 100,000 yuan in this life."
Lao Guo looked honest, but he was actually very shrewd. I could tell that there was something in his words.
So I immediately said: "Uncle Guo, don't worry, you will have a share of the shipment this time."
"Isn't this bad? I didn't help much."
Just as I was about to speak, I heard Lao Guo say: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Just watch and do it, haha."
I glared at Douyazai, blaming him for bragging just now. He said these things could be sold for one million. Lao Guo heard this, and if he was given less, it might cause conflicts.
I asked around on the street and found out that I am never stingy with anyone who works with me. If I, Xiang Yunfeng, eat meat, you can at least drink some soup. In fact, I have already calculated it in my heart. No matter how much the final batch of goods can be sold,
I even gave Lao Guo 100,000 yuan. After all, he lives with others and always borrows things from others.
That evening, Xiaoxuan was in a very depressed mood and didn't eat. She sat alone on the roof of the wooden house in a daze.
I climbed up to the roof, took out two apples from my arms, wiped them clean and handed one to Xiaoxuan.
"I don't want to eat, you can eat."
"Xiao Xuan, if you don't eat for the whole day, just eat an apple. This apple is the red Fuji from Lao Guo Tian. It's very sweet."
After saying that, I took a big bite.
Xiaoxuan put the apple down. She couldn't bear it anymore and started sobbing with choked sobs.
I hugged her and comforted her softly.
Xiaoxuan choked and said: "We only knew each other for a few days! But he traded his life for mine! Except for my dad! No one has ever been so kind to me, wuwu..."
Xiaoxuan cried harder and harder, and gradually, the clothes on my chest were soaked with tears.
I patted her back gently, not knowing how to comfort her for a moment, because I didn't understand a girl's mind, so I could only let time dilute all this.
As the sun sets in the west, heartbroken people wander around the world.
I looked down at the sleeping girl in my arms, and the scene when I first saw her reappeared in my eyes.
A rich lady, wearing cartoon pajamas, stood in front of her luxurious doghouse with her waist clasped, scolding me loudly, and threatened to let the dog bite me.
I just sat on the roof until night, when my head suddenly asked me to pick someone up. I didn’t understand. Who should I pick up?
Talk to the buyer.
"So fast? Who is the buyer you contacted?"
He smiled and said: "It's an old friend of ours. He happens to be here in Sichuan. He called me in the morning and asked me if I had any goods in hand recently. It was just a coincidence. To avoid long nights and dreams, it is better to exchange it for cash. It's not a good place here.
Look for it, go and pick it up at the fork in the road."
I nodded and asked which old friend it was.
He smiled and said, "You'll know it when you see it."
I waited until after nine o'clock at the intersection leading to the experimental field, when I saw an off-road vehicle with its headlights on in the distance.
I stamped out my cigarette butts and hurried to the middle of the dirt road to wave.
The other party must have seen me and flashed his lights twice.
The off-road vehicle drove up and stopped, and a man and a woman got out. I didn't recognize the woman, but I did know the man.
An old friend indeed.
It was Liu Yuanning who bought our Ashoka Tower in Yinchuan.
"Brother Liu! It turns out to be you! Who is the old friend I thought was the leader?"
Shaking hands, Liu Yuanning smiled and said: "Well done, Chief Xiang. Recently, your name has been well known on the road, and there are even rumors that you have entered."
I was happy for the first half of what he said, but I wasn't happy for the second half. I thought to myself, "You bitch, you just went in."
"Haha! Brother Liu, you are really good at joking. Who will supply you with the goods if I go in?"
"This beauty is...?"
"Oh," Liu Yuanning said with a smile, "This is my apprentice. She has been collecting goods recently. I also brought her out to see the world. Yan'er, please call me Xiang Boss."
"Xiang is a good leader."
I quickly said hello, beauty.
I feel like this girl looks a bit familiar. I think I've seen her in some TV series. She has short hair and is quite pretty. She might be a not-so-famous second-tier actress.
Liu Yuanning is in his forties and married.
apprentice?
I don’t quite believe it, but even if it’s true, I guess it’s the “step-by-step” kind. (It turns out that my guess was good. Later, when Liu Yuanning was in his 50s, he suffered a stroke and became paralyzed, which was directly related to this person named Yan’er.)
"Xiao Xiang Baotou, this place is really remote. Wang Baotou asked me to meet here to see the goods. Where are the others?"
I said it's not far ahead. You don't need to drive, just walk there and you'll be there just around the corner.
While walking on the road, I asked the Ashoka Pagoda where he had gone and how much money he had earned.
You know, he bought it from us for more than four million at that time.
Liu Yuanning smiled boldly and said, "Do you still remember what I said at that time?"
"I said I would bet the rest of my fucking life on this! Now it turns out that I was right! As for how much money I made from that tower... Haha, Xiao Xiang, I'm afraid that telling the truth will irritate you, so I won't
Let’s talk.”
I had a smile on my face, but I thought that he must have sold tens of millions.
When they arrived at the experimental field, they were greeted enthusiastically with their heads raised.
After some polite remarks, Liu Yuanning got straight to the point and said he wanted to see the goods.
Clapping their heads and clapping their hands, Brother Yu and Bean Sprouts each carried a sack, and then placed the Xixia swords in the sack on the ground one by one.
Liu Yuanning's eyes lit up.
He picked up a sword and flicked the blade with his hand, and the echo was clear and loud.
This proves that the bones of the sword are very good and there are no hidden defects. If the sound sounds dull, it means that the sword has hidden damage or cracks.
"Tsk tsk..." Liu Yuanning became more and more excited as he watched. He couldn't help but cursed: "It's amazing! It's fucking amazing. I didn't expect something that was hundreds of years old to be in such good condition."
He changed the topic and sighed: "What a pity, even if there is no inscription, the level is not too high."
He calls it a compliment and a slap in the face, which is an old routine in the industry.
I smiled and said, "Can the condition of the goods from the puddle be bad? You can't find this kind of goods anywhere outside. The future collection market will definitely be a world where condition is king. Those with inscriptions may not necessarily be good."
It can outsell products of the highest quality like ours.”
Keeping his head silent means that he has delegated power to me, and I will negotiate the price with him.
Liu Yuanning's eyes flashed, and he looked at me and said: "Xiao Xiang, in the future cultural relics market, appearance will be king. That's right, but you have to consider, if I collect it and sell it for takeout, I will sell it all at once."
If there are so many, the market price will definitely drop, so I’ll cover all of them, please give me a price.”
I thought for a while and said: "Twenty-two handfuls, half a million bucks, a total of 11 million for you."
"How much do you think I am?"
"Eleven million," I said.
He raised his head and coughed deliberately, holding the tea cup and said hurriedly: "We can discuss the price, and make it a little lower. It's all negotiated."
Liu Yuanning glanced at me and said with a strange expression: "Master Wang, if I really accept these swords from you for 11 million, I will lose all my underwear, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sell them within thirty years."
At this time, the woman named Yan'er on the side said: "That's right, why would you buy these things for more than 10 million yuan? They are scrap metal."
I didn't give him any face and said coldly: "Not only do you have short hair, but you also have short knowledge! We are talking about business and you have no right to speak. Just shut your mouth."
Yan'er's face changed slightly and she bit her lips without daring to say anything.
"Brother Liu, now that you're here, you definitely don't want to leave empty-handed. Please tell me your sincere price and I'll listen to what the difference is."
Liu Yuanning thought for a few seconds, frowned and said: "The total price is 1.3 million. I brought cash in the car and I can give it to you now."
One hundred and three, divided by twenty-two, equals more than 50,000 yuan per sword, which is a very high unit price. At that time, the average price of a high-quality Warring States sword was 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.
I didn't say yes, I didn't say no, but I asked Dou Sprout to go to my house and bring over the money jar and money mountain that I dug up in the cemetery.
I told him directly that I had not touched the original money jar, and I had basically seen the Qianshan. They were all Kaiyuan Tongbao from the Tang Dynasty and twenty-two swords. Adding these two things, it was four million.
Liu Yuanning shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Xiang is holding his head, you can't see 400 from a distance."
I took out five more Xixia copper coins from my bag. Without saying anything, I slapped them on the table in front of him and said I would add these.
Liu Yuanning shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying he still couldn't see it.
I immediately called Dou Sprouts and said, "Put them all away, we won't sell them anymore!"
"do not!"
Liu Yuanning immediately pressed down the big copper coin on the table and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiang, for the sake of our friendship, you are giving me some benefits, brother."
"I'm not stingy, Brother Liu, let me ask you, if nothing else, have you ever seen these Xixia products discounted for ten bucks before?"
He said he had never seen it before and today was the first time he saw it.
"That's right! I've never seen it before! This is the only one!"
"One hundred thousand is the same, and two hundred thousand is the same. I wanted to give the team members dividends years ago! Otherwise, I would keep it for myself and not sell it!"
Liu Yuanning was speechless.
In the end, this lot of stuff was sold for 3.8 million!
If I had kept those few large orphan coins until now, one would probably be enough for three million.
He didn't have enough cash, so he gave us a box that night with 2.1 million in cash. He told us to transfer the rest to the city tomorrow, and I agreed.
When the business is concluded, we celebrate with drinks and dinner.
Lao Guo enthusiastically helped to cook several specialty dishes. The meal lasted until twelve o'clock at night. Liu Yuanning drank a little too much, so he stayed here that night.
At one o'clock, I went out to fetch water to wash my feet, and happened to meet Yan'er.
"Xiao Xiang, head on, you haven't slept yet."
"Wash your feet and go to bed now."
"Oh, where is the toilet here?"
I pointed in a direction and said it was behind the room.
She looked at it from a distance and said, "I don't have a flashlight. It's too dark and I'm afraid it won't be safe. Can you send me there?"
I didn't think much and agreed.
When I got there, I just turned around to leave when I heard her shout softly from the toilet: "Xiao Xiang, please come in."
