Qin Fen chuckled and picked up the halo of nose flute. This nose flute is about 60 centimeters long and has two holes on it. This is also the characteristic of the nose flute. The nose flute is well-padded and feels good to the touch.
It feels very moist, and the nose flute itself is made of bamboo. Although it has mottled cracks, it has a more aesthetic appeal because of the good patina.
"This nose flute is pretty good. Boss, please give me a price!" Qin Fen raised the nose flute and asked the stall owner.
"Haha, little brother, you really have a good eye. This nose flute is an old thing. Look at the patina on it, and then look at the opening on it. Although there are cracks, the patina is very good, so it does not affect the sound quality at all.
, and if we talk about making it old, if it cracks like this, it must be discarded. After all, it is made of bamboo, so it is difficult to preserve and make it old! "
"Haha, I understand why the boss, Mrs. Wang, sells melons. Just tell me the price!" Qin Fen chuckled and said again.
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then he stretched out a trembling finger towards Qin Fen and said: "One... ten thousand yuan!"
"Why don't you go grab it?! If this is what kind of nose flute you say, it is played with the nose. If it is an old thing, how many people must have played it with the nose. Isn't it disgusting?
, ten thousand yuan, should I buy this from you?!"
At this time, Mu Zhirou said to the stall owner a little unhappy.
The stall owner smiled bitterly and said nothing, but his eyes were always on Qin Fen.
Qin Fen looked at the branch nose flute again, and the stall owner hurriedly said: "Little brother, you are an expert, please tell me!"
"Haha, I can only give you two hundred yuan for this thing!" Qin Fen chuckled, then raised his head and said to the stall owner seriously.
"Ah... you are bargaining too harshly. Two hundred yuan is impossible, the minimum is eight thousand!"
"three hundred!"
"Six thousand!"
"Five hundred yuan is the most." Qin Fen stretched out five fingers and said extremely seriously.
The stall owner suddenly became speechless and lowered his head with a troubled expression. After a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "You can't spend less than a thousand yuan, so I'll start my business."
A smile appeared on Qin Fen's face again, then he took out a thousand yuan directly from his bag, handed it to the other party, and said, "Boss, take the money!"
After clearing the outstanding goods, Qin Fen gestured to Mu Zhirou, who was still looking confused, and then walked away.
"Husband, I can tell you with great confidence this time, you are really crazy!"
"Haha, what's wrong?!" Qin Fen asked with a wry smile.
"You can buy one for a thousand yuan, and I don't know how many people have blown it with their noses. I can't stand your strong taste." Mu Zhirou said unhappily.
"Haha, didn't you say you wanted me to pick up leaks for you today?! Why do you still look like this when I picked up two big leaks?!"
"You missed it again?!" Mu Zhirou said with confusion on her face.
"Haha, let's go. It's getting late and we should leave here. If that guy wakes up and chases us and refuses to sell, it will be troublesome."
Qin Fen smiled mysteriously, then pulled Mu Zhirou and walked outside quickly.
"What the hell is this?!"
"It should be a treasure, and I can't say the exact value yet!" Qin Fen said.
"Then why did you bargain with the other party just now and only gave them 200 yuan?!" Mu Zhirou has never been in the antique business, so she doesn't know his background.
"Isn't that what the antique business is all about? Everyone has their own abilities when it comes to picking out items. And look at that stall owner, he used an old thing to cheat us. If we don't know, we are being deceived by him. So, I'm just
Just teach him a small lesson!"
"Oh...it turns out you are also a big liar!" Mu Zhirou suddenly realized.
"Uh... well, a little liar will lie for a while, and a big liar will lie for a lifetime. In front of you, I would rather be a big liar and lie to you for a lifetime!"
Qin Fen's heart suddenly moved and he climbed directly along the pole.
"Hate……"
Mu Zhirou's face turned red, but her heart was very warm.
After the two of them left the antique street, Mu Zhirou suddenly pulled Qin Fen and said with a look of embarrassment: "I'm a little hungry, let's go eat first?!"
Seeing Mu Zhirou's funny expression, Qin Fen felt a little guilty. He had been out for so long and was browsing the antique street, but he even forgot to eat. Qin Fen quickly raised his head and looked around, only to see the antique street.
There was a local specialty restaurant opposite. He turned around and smiled at Mu Zhirou: "Let's go and eat the special bamboo tube rice."
After a while, the two of them entered a specialty restaurant. This restaurant was decorated with local characteristics, and each table had a separate booth. Unlike other restaurants, although there were many guests eating, there were not many guests at all.
Noisy, but on the contrary very quiet.
After the two of them found a seat near the window and sat down, the waiter came over.
"Two bamboo tube rice, and two of your specialties!" Qin Fen said to the waiter.
"Well, wait a minute, you two!"
"It's really quiet here!" Mu Zhirou looked at the restaurant and then said to Qin Fen.
"Yeah, I didn't expect it either, but look at these customers, most of them should be people from the Fengqing Street or Antique Street opposite."
Qin Fen carefully looked at the guests in other seats.
At this time, another person walked in from outside. As soon as this person came in, the waiter hurriedly greeted him and said: "Mr. Fu, please come inside, is it still the same?!"
"Well, bring me two taels of wine and have a drink today." The old man smiled kindly at the waiter and said, "Okay, you can come in and invite me!"
Mr. Fu was directly taken to a seat next to Qin Fen by the waiter. There was only an aisle between them. Qin Fen's eyes fell on this man. He looked very capable, with a rosy face and a scholarly aura about him.
Qin Fen's heart suddenly moved. It seemed that this person should also be in the antique business.
Mr. Fu felt Qin Fen's gaze, slowly turned his head, smiled at Qin Fen, nodded slightly, and Qin Fen responded with a smile.
After a while, the waiter brought up two portions of bamboo tube rice, as well as two local specialties.
"You two, this dish is Li's double stuffed rice. This one is salt and pepper pork ribs, which is our special dish. Next time you come, I will introduce you to other special dishes. Otherwise, if you order too much, you won't be able to eat it and it will be wasted.
Got it." The waiter introduced it very seriously.
"Haha, thank you very much, I will come to your house next time!" Qin Fen said with a chuckle.
When Qin Fen and Mu Zhirou started eating, Mr. Fu next to him looked at Qin Fen with a smile, and then his eyes fell on the branch-nosed flute on the dining table, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Little brother, are you two here for a trip?!" Mr. Fu smiled at Qin Fen.
"Haha, he is indeed a tourist. The old gentleman must be a local, right?!"
In fact, just when the waiter called the old man Fu Lao, Qin Fen guessed that the old man must be a local, because the surname Fu is considered a common surname of the Li ethnic group.
"Haha, let me introduce myself. My name is Fu Ming. I am indeed a local from Linghe County."
"Oh, hello, Mr. Fu!" Qin Fen nodded and said.
Mr. Fu smiled and gestured, then rolled his eyes and asked tentatively: "Young man, you must like antiques very much, right?!"
When Qin Fen heard this, his expression changed, and then his eyes fell on him and asked: "Why did Mr. Fu ask that?!"
"Haha, the nose flute on your table is not an ordinary object. If you are buying something special here, you can buy a new one, but judging from the patina on it, this one should be considered an old one.
It’s an object.”
Fu Ming chuckled again and said.
"Haha, so Mr. Fu should be in the antique business." Qin Fen asked with a smile.
"This is my business card!" Mr. Fu hurriedly took out a business card from his body and handed it to Qin Fen.
Qin Fen took it with both hands and took a look, only to see it said: "Fu Ming, President of Lingshui County Cultural Heritage Association!"
"It turns out to be President Fu. It's such a pleasure to meet him."
"Haha, don't say that. Mainly because I'm afraid you'll think I'm a liar, so I took this thing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have paid for it." Fu Ming kept looking at the nose flute while he was laughing.
Qin Fen saw what the other party was thinking, and said with a smile: "Although I know little about antiques, I am still a good judge of people. Mr. Fu should be an upright person, so you can help me control my eyes."
Hearing this, Fu Ming suddenly became excited. He quickly stood up and came to Qin Fen's desk. Then he took out the white cloth gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands. Then he took out the magnifying glass and then carefully picked up the
Branch nose flute.
Qin Fen's eyes were on Fu Ming from beginning to end. From the opponent's series of actions, Qin Fen was even more convinced that he had not made a mistake. Fu Ming should really be an expert.
After a moment, Fu Ming installed the magnifying glass, then put the nose flute in front of Qin Fen without changing his expression, and then said with excitement: "Little brother, how much did you get this nose flute for?!"
"A thousand dollars!"
"Ah...haha, then you have found something big. This thing is definitely an old thing, and it is a miracle that it is so well preserved."
"So it's like this. I really don't understand it. I just bought it for fun." Qin Fen pretended to be surprised.
"Then... little brother, I'll pay you 100,000 yuan, can you give me your money?!"
Qin Fen was stunned, Fu Ming was not pretentious, he was quite straightforward.
"Haha, to be honest, I like this thing very much, I'm afraid I can't help it." Qin Fen apologized.
"Oh... that's it, okay, I won't take my love away, but my little brother's business card has my phone number. If you don't want it anymore, you must give it to me. To be honest, I usually like to collect our
Things passed down from the older generation here.”
Fu Ming smiled awkwardly and said to Qin Fen.
"Don't worry, if I don't want it, I'll let you know as soon as possible!"
After Qin Fen said this, he turned around and started eating with Zhirou. A flash of disappointment flashed across Fu Ming's face, and then he sat down at his dining table again and started drinking.
Twenty minutes later, Qin Fen and Mu Zhirou finished their meal, but Fu Ming was still drinking, so Qin Fen said hello to him and left with Mu Zhirou.
Looking at Qin Fen's back, Fu Ming's face was somewhat disappointed and unwilling. He couldn't help but said to himself: "What a rare treasure. What a pity. Why didn't I, Fu Ming, find it first?!"
Then he smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand to greet the waiter, and ordered another two taels of white wine for himself.
