He wrapped the two treasures in newspaper and carefully protected them all the way to Baoyuan House. Wang Taichu had already arrived at the shop, but the door was half open. Obviously, he had just arrived.
Su Tong had good eyesight. She immediately took a feather duster and walked between the shelves in the shop, carefully brushing off the dust on the antiques. Then, she was busy sweeping and wiping the glass. How could she not realize that she was working for someone to earn money?
Wang Taichu was quite satisfied. He smiled and said,""Come and have some tea after you're done. I have something to do these few days, so you might have to look after the shop alone in the afternoon.”
"Ah?" Su Tong was a little surprised. It was her first day of reporting, and she was already at ease to guard the shop alone.
"You don't have to be nervous. It's off-season now, so there aren't many customers.”Wang Taichu wasn't trying to comfort Su Tong. It was a three-year business." Besides, if there's anything urgent or uncertain, just call me."”
As she spoke, she took a sip of the brewed Tieguanyin tea." This year's new tea, you should try it too. However, my mouth is heavy. I'm afraid that young people like you won't be used to drinking strong tea.”
Since the boss was willing to let her take care of the shop, Su Tong didn't have to worry about it anymore. She just had to report to him as soon as possible. She was still thinking about her two treasures. She didn't drink her tea and took out the things from her bag." Uncle Wang, I went to the antique market next door yesterday and bought two things. I want you to take a look at them for me."”
Wang Taichu put the teacup on the counter and said casually,""Sure."
Su Tong had wrapped the Buddha beads and walnuts separately in newspapers. Wang Taichu had just taken them and before he could open them, his phone rang. He pressed the answer button and heard Xia Mo's voice." Uncle Wang, are you still in the shop?" Old Gu and I will be there soon!"
There was a hint of excitement in his voice. Su Tong heard it clearly as she stood beside him.
"This kid is too impatient. They had agreed to gather at the Gu family's residence, but they had to rush over to invite Old Gu over.”
Wang Taichu shook his head as he opened Su Tong's two ordinary newspaper bundles. He happened to open the bundle of Buddhist beads first. After opening it, he glanced at it and saw that it was a wooden Buddhist bead bracelet that looked shabby even if it was sold as a piece of art. He couldn't help but smile as he picked up the teacup again."Kid, you were still praising your good taste yesterday.”
He did not comment on the bracelet, but not commenting was already a kind of evaluation. He could not be bothered to give the bracelet another look.
Then, Wang Taichu held a teacup in one hand and opened another newspaper with the other. He opened it gently and two walnuts rolled out. Wang Taichu fixed his eyes on them and was so shocked that he forgot to close his mouth." Su Tong, where did you get these?"”
"I told you just now that I bought it from the antique market next door.”
Wang Taichu waved his hand and put the teacup aside. He knew what Su Tong meant by her words and sharply caught the main point." Did you buy it?" How much did you spend on this pair of walnuts? Twenty thousand?"
Obviously, in Wang Taichu's heart, 20,000 yuan for this pair of walnuts was already a big loss.
It was the first time Su Tong had encountered such a thing. She was a little embarrassed to show off. She scratched her head and gestured a three with her fingers.
"Thirty thousand? That's also a big leak!" Wang Taichu held the two walnuts in his palm and was about to ask which shop it was.
Before he could ask, Su Tong shook her head again."Not 30,000, but 300."
" 300?!" Wang Taichu couldn't stay calm anymore. He stood up with the walnuts in his hands." You said you bought these walnuts for 300 yuan?" How is that possible?"
"Uncle Wang, what is impossible?" Xia Mo respectfully helped Old Gu into the shop and heard Wang Taichu's last sentence.
Seeing Old Gu come in, Wang Taichu hurried to greet him. Su Tong also hurried to move a chair and pour tea.
Old Gu's eyes were sharp. He had already seen the pile of walnuts in Wang Taichu's hands." Don't be in a hurry. Let me see them first."”
Wang Taichu hurriedly handed it over with both hands and said,""Old Gu, look at this pair of lion heads.”
Lion Head Walnuts were a large series of Wenwan Walnuts. They were one of the "Four Famous Cores" and were also the treasures of Wenwan Walnuts. The so-called lion's head was named after the shape of the walnut. If the lion's head walnut was turned upside down, the walnut pattern was like the mane of the stone lion in front of the old Yamen, so it was named.
The walnuts were upright and upright. The flowers were twisted in rolls, exquisite and beautiful. Old Gu held it against the sunlight. The amber luster was pleasing to the eye.
"Hmm, not bad. It's a good thing.”Old Gu sighed." You just received this?”
Xia Mo shouted at the side," Uncle Wang, you're so unkind. You didn't tell me yesterday that there was such a good thing!"”
"This isn't mine. Su Tong bought it for 300 yuan at the antique market nearby yesterday.”Wang Taichu still sounded incredulous.
"You bought it for 300 yuan?" Xia Mo couldn't remain calm anymore." What shop assistant is so blind?" Selling such a good lion's head for 300? I want to pick up the leftovers too!"
Su Tong quickly explained what had happened yesterday. The shop owner had used a mahogany box to trick him into buying two rotten pecans, which made Xia Mo laugh out loud. He laughed at him for being a newbie who had fallen for such a trick.
Old Gu and Wang Taichu couldn't help but laugh.
"When I got home, the more I thought about it, the more depressed I became. I weighed the walnuts I bought for 300 yuan and realized that the weight was a little off, so I soaked them in warm water. I didn't expect there to be two of these hidden in the rotten walnuts.”
Hearing Xia Mo say," You're too lucky, kid." He couldn't hide his envy. How much the item was worth was a small matter to him, a rich young master. The key point was that he had been scammed countless times over the years, but he couldn't compare to Su Tong, who had just entered the industry yesterday. She actually picked up the item right away.
"A peck and a peck is also a sign that this thing is fated with you.”Old Gu smiled and said," Xia Mo, don't be unconvinced. If it were you, I'm afraid you would have thrown the walnuts away. Even if there were treasures hidden inside, you wouldn't be able to find them.”
After being exposed by Old Gu, Xia Mo fell silent. This was indeed something he would do. He scratched his head awkwardly and quickly changed the topic." Hurry up and see how much this pair of lion heads is worth."”
Elder Gu held the two walnuts in his palm and looked at them carefully." The size of the belly is larger than the sides, and the sides are larger than the height. The tip of the belly is lower than the sides, just like the word 'mountain' in the middle and the two sides are higher. From this angle, does it look like a dried persimmon?”
The other three looked at the direction that Old Gu pointed at. Wang Taichu smiled and said,""Old Gu, this is an extremely good-looking stuffy tip.”
