10 The Mysterious Gangster of Antique Street 2
"This is true. I can see clearly. There is no problem with spilling gold. Try this half of it again..." Lu Yu said, bringing the lighter up.
Really, the onlookers surrounded him and stared at the piece of jade in Lu Yu's hand. In less than ten seconds, the part of the sprinkled gold that was scorched by the flames began to melt and drip down like liquid.
"It's financialized!"
"fraud!"
The crowd became lively, and someone began to ask about Lu Yu's principle.
"The principle is very simple. These sprinkled gold are burned by gold powder. They are afraid of fire and melt when they encounter high temperatures. They are an old trick."
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he turned around and looked around. The old actor and several tutors had long disappeared. The male stall owner was packing up his things in shame, rolling up a tarp, and then turning around and leaving.
In his previous life, Lu Yu had to catch up and teach him a lesson, but now he is limping on one leg and really can't catch up, so he has to ignore it.
Suddenly, a bald head emerged from the crowd, and he was flying to the liar.
"Fifth Brother?"
The liar rolled on the ground for a few times, crawled over, and was stunned when he saw the bald face.
The bald man pulled his collar up and whispered something. The liar looked at Lu Yu with a little embarrassed expression. Then he obediently took out something from his pocket and handed it to the bald man.
"Go!" The bald man let go of the liar and walked towards Lu Yu with a smile.
Lu Yu looked at it slightly. He was in his fifties. He was tall and tall, with a big horse, hanging eyes, hooked nose, sharp head, and thin mouth. He looked at him with a glossy face. He was a vicious person.
"Brother, it's so exciting. They have been here for almost a month. You are the first to make them lose face!"
"It's nothing. They still have no means. If they really have high means, it will be difficult to verify the authenticity on the spot."
The bald head nodded, "There is no means to be good on this street."
"Do you know them?"
"Oh, I'm all familiar with these streets. I'm familiar with them. My surname is Zhao, and I'm the fifth in my family. I know all the people I call me Zhao Wu. What do you call me?"
"Ma Baoguo."
The other party was not a good person. Lu Yu didn't want to say his real name, so he casually said the name he thought of immediately.
"Brother Xiaoma, you have good eyesight. I happen to have a few things on my hand. I don't know if it's true or not. I'll bother Brother Xiaoma to give me some palms. Of course, I don't dare to let you work in vain. For the first time, I'll work hard, how about five thousand thank you?"
"Is this... far?"
"Let's find a place to have tea, and I'll ask my brother to bring the things."
Lu Yu didn't really want to deal with such people, but he made a profit of 5,000 yuan, and the other party also said that he was going to a teahouse, so there shouldn't be any danger, so he agreed.
In the teahouse private room, Zhao Wu closed the door, sat down, looked up and down at Lu Yu, and asked, "Brother Ma, where are you making a fortune?"
"I used to be in another place, but I only came to Donghai recently and haven't found a job yet."
Zhao Wu nodded, "That's it. I have such eyesight. If I have been living in the East China Sea, I can't have never heard of the name. Oh, by the way, this is the mistress's apology."
As he said that, he took out a few things from his pocket and threw them on the table with a bang.
It is three ancient coins, but compared to ordinary copper coins, it is slightly larger, with a smooth surface and a golden glow.
"Cast big money for mother!"
In ancient times, copper coins were divided into three types: carving mother, casting mother and passive coins. Carving mother is the first mother coins hand-carved when casting. It is used as a mold. The first batch of coins reprinted is the casting mother, and then it is reprinted in large quantities from the casting mother into ordinary coins and circulated on the market.
Although the cast mother coins are not as precious as carved mothers, they are very small in existence, and have exquisite texture and high collection value.
However, this is not what excited Lu Yu. The Taoist sect always believed that money can help the gods, so copper coins have always been the most commonly used magic weapon for Taoists. The spirituality of casting mother coins is much stronger than ordinary copper coins. Just say that after the few pieces in his hand are consecrated, they are definitely medium-grade magic weapons. For Lu Yu, who has empty hands, it is like rain from the sky.
"Master Zhao Wu, thank you." Lu Yu put the money openly.
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside. After getting Zhao Wu's consent, a man in his thirties pushed the door and walked in, put the black bag in his hand on the table, and reached out to unzip it.
Lu Yu did not go to see the bag at the first time, but stared at the man's hand holding a cigarette. Others smoked cigarettes with the mouthpiece facing the palm of their hand, and the cigarette butt was outside. On the contrary, he faced the back of his hand, hooked his hand when smoking, and covered the cigarette butt with his wrist.
Lu Yu's heart moved, and then he looked at the bag full of vases, porcelain, incense burners, and other things. He also had a rough judgment on their identity.
"Brother Xiaoma, these are all my recent acquisitions. Please help me identify which ones are real."
Lu Yu was originally worried that he was asking him to look at the goods and estimate the price, but he had no idea about the antique market in this world. He heard that he was just distinguishing the authenticity, so he would be relieved.
Lu Yu tested one and placed it on the tea table. He put it on the left and the fake one on the right. He was done in less than a few minutes.
Most of them are real, but there are only three fakes, and the flaws are still in subtle places. Lu Yu understood after reading them. This is not a test of goods, but someone is testing his own level.
"Thank you hard, brother Ma, it's amazing!" Zhao Wu took out a stack of banknotes from his bag and handed them over with a smile.
Lu Yu didn't count it, so he just pretended.
"Brother Xiaoma, you are not curious, where do these things come from?" Zhao Wu held the teacup and looked at Lu Yu with a smile.
"I have a poor memory. I can't remember it even if you say it, so I'd just stop asking."
Zhao Wu laughed loudly, "Good, come on, let's leave each other with a number. Another day, I have a big deal for you. Today I have something to do, so I'll say goodbye first. Brother Xiaoma, please continue to have tea."
"I have something to do, let's go together." Lu Yu exchanged numbers with him and followed him out of the private room.
Just kidding, the one who left late had to pay for tea. Lu Yu had read the price tag before, and 181 pot of tea was enough for his family of three to spend several days.
...
"It's not bad, this pork ribs and this steamed pork, wow, it's better than the 'Zuixianglou'!"
At the dining table, Shangguan Yue kept picking up food and putting it into her mouth, and her mouth was so bulging that it seemed like a ball was stuffed inside, and she could hardly close it.
Today's meal made her completely let go of yesterday's reserve and began to praise Lu Yu's cooking skills.
"Can you eat slowly? What does it look like from a girl?" Shangguan Xue glared at her, and she couldn't help but pick up a piece of rib and put it in her mouth. She looked up at Lu Yu, with an indescribable meaning in her eyes.
"Lu Yu, you have such a good cooking skills. If I say, don't go to college. You are lame... you have bad legs and feet, and it's not easy to find a job after graduation. Why just open a restaurant for him, sister, the business will definitely be very good."
Shangguan Yue said something in a mess, but in the end he did not forget to tell Lu Yu to cook for dinner.
Lu Yu sat opposite, looking at the sisters influenced by his cooking skills, and knew in his heart that as long as he didn't care about the identity of a man, his status in this family would be stable.
