In the business of tomb robbing, each one has its own name due to different customs and places, and one type of people is called earth rats. They are not professional in fighting, and they are not as skilled as the Taoist Mojin Colonel and the Taoist Banshan Taoist.
Yes, to use a more fashionable saying, earth rats are the kind of amateur tomb robbers who make soy sauce, so they can only be like rats. Occasionally they are lucky enough to dig holes and make a fortune, but as for being a little more unpredictable
Most of them will sell the information about the tomb to more professional tomb robbers like Mo Jin Xiaowei to make some money from it...
Right now, this dark-skinned man, who looks like a farmer at first glance, didn't even have time to clean the soil on the box, and just kept it in his hands to exchange money. It shows that his ability is limited to just seeing it.
Money-minded, facing this country rat, I thought that if I didn't kill him, others would definitely lower the price without hesitation. After all, who would be willing to bully a layman to make money?
Seeing that I didn't speak, the man couldn't help but get a little anxious and said, "How about it? Why don't you open your mouth instead? If I hadn't seen that your Wang family is a big family in this street, I wouldn't be interested in waiting for you here."
"Brother, don't worry, let me take a look and I can give you a price, right?" I picked up the box with a smile on my face. It was covered with a lot of mud, but it was still quite heavy.
I carefully wiped away the dirt and found that there was a hidden lock on the box. I fumbled around, and under the man's gaze, I took a silver needle and pried open the box with ease.
The man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect me to be capable of this.
I didn't take it seriously and said: "This box was used for dowry in ancient times. There is usually a simple hidden lock inside. It only needs to be poked with a long and thin object to open it."
"Can't you tell, you still know this stuff?" the man said.
"Little things."
After opening the box, I glanced around and saw that there were actually no precious treasures inside. The box contained nothing more than gold and silver jewelry and the like. The most valuable one was probably the gold bracelet, and the rest were
, mostly silver jewelry.
I shook my head deliberately and said with a disappointed look: "Brother, I opened the lock in vain. There are no good treasures in this box of yours."
When the man saw this, he was also very disappointed and said: "Nary, after three days of drilling, you can only find out these few things. It's ridiculous."
I clicked on the jewelry, and there were about five or six items in total. Judging from the year, I guess it wasn’t a particularly old era, but at least it was still worth some money. I glanced at the man’s expression, and then I made a rough calculation in my mind.
Price, and then said to the man: "Eight thousand, if you want, keep the things."
"Only 8,000 yuan? I worked hard for three days to drill the hole, and there are two brothers at home waiting for me to share the money. How can only 8,000 yuan be enough?" the man said.
I straightened my face and said: "Brother, you have seen this thing of yours. The most valuable thing is probably this bracelet. If you sell it outside, you can probably earn four or five thousand. I don't think I have any other items."
If people want it, they will offer a high price because it is difficult for you to come here early in the morning."
"Eight thousand is too little, but it's still fifteen thousand."
"If you can't pay fifteen thousand, the boss will cut you off. My price is already very fair. Otherwise, you can ask the nearby stores." I said.
The man didn't give up. He picked up the box and really wanted to ask someone else.
I chuckled lightly when I saw this, pointed at the man and pointed to the notice posted on the wall not far away and said: "Brother, you are really stubborn. The crackdown on illegal cultural relics and reselling is so serious outside now. You have nothing to do with your grave."
If you haven’t cleaned it up yet, take it outside to say hello, and I’ll see that you’ll have to go to the police station to drink tea in a short while.”
When the man heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
There was indeed a notice posted on the wall, and the large characters on it clearly stated that crackdown on illegal reselling of cultural relics was written. No matter how much money this man wanted, he felt guilty.
Seeing that the man was hesitant, I immediately opened a pack of cigarettes, threw one to him, and said: "Brother, have a cigarette, don't talk nonsense, I'll be happy, I'll give you 10,000, no more."
"
"Ten thousand? Okay, then ten thousand, but I have to get the cash right away." The man said.
"Okay, give me the stuff. You smoke a cigarette here first. I'll come back when I'm gone."
I've seen a lot of country rats. As long as I can give them cash, I'm probably willing to let them take off their pants and sell their chrysanthemums. I asked the man to wait outside, and I went into the inner room with the box. Inside, Wang Baiwan was talking with his
The baby girl was eating breakfast of milk and bread, so elegant and delicate.
As soon as I went over, I put the box on the table and without saying a word, I poked a fried dough stick with my hand and put it in my mouth.
"Boss, here comes a seller, what do you think?" I said.
Wang Wanwan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that there was something available. The antiques on the market now are basically all priceless. As long as you have the right skills and the items are decent, most of them can be sold at a good price.
In the past few days, I have figured out his temperament. Although his name is domineering, in fact, this guy is an old money addict. As long as something can make money, let alone a jewelry box, I will probably sell him to pick it up.
Soap, he can run over it without hesitation...
Wang Baiwan looked at the jewelry box for a long time, nodded and said: "The things are not bad, a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold earrings, and a few pieces of silver jewelry. Judging from the age, they should be from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, boy.
What price did you give people?"
My face didn't turn red and my heart stopped beating: "It's not much, only fifty thousand yuan."
"Fifty thousand yuan? Do you think I'm doing charity?" Wang Wanwan raised his eyebrows and said with a pained look on his face.
Holding the fried dough stick in my mouth, I looked as calm as an old unscrupulous profiteer who had been in the business for many years, and said, "Boss, stop pretending. All you need to do is find the right buyer for this box of jewelry, resell it, and get a minimum price of 100,000 yuan."
, if you don’t want it, then I will send that person away..."
Wang Wanwan looked a little weird when I told him that I had got my wishful thinking. He gritted his teeth and finally said: "I can only give you 40,000 yuan at most. Go and ask him if he wants it."
"Okay, as long as you are happy."
I drank up Wang Baibai's soy milk in one gulp. Before I left, I glanced at Wang Luoluo. Unfortunately, this girl was reading a book, and the title of the book was particularly eye-catching and conspicuous: "The New Generation of Archaeological Leaders"
--Zheng Hanwen's Archaeological Miracle"...
After leaving the house, I said directly to the man: "Brother, we have made a deal of 10,000 yuan. Leave the things here and come with me to the financial room (usually antique stores will have a small room where money is kept, and the people in charge of the money are basically the boss's).
Relatives) take the money."
"Okay." The man was so excited that he was gearing up, not knowing that the offer I just made to Wang Baiwan was 40,000 yuan.
A few minutes later, I asked the man to wait outside the financial room while I went in to find another clerk and pay 40,000 yuan in cash.
After I came out, I gave 10,000 yuan to the man. Just when the man was about to turn around and leave, I suddenly grabbed him, gave him a cigarette and lit it, saying, "Brother, you dug a hole for three days before digging."
It’s not a good deal to get such a jewelry box, how about I show you the way?”
"What way?" the man asked.
I took out an extra 10,000 yuan from my pocket and handed it over, chewing on the smoke pipe: "Tell me the location of the robbery hole, and this 10,000 yuan will be yours."
