Chapter 617 Bargaining
With the relationship between brothers and old friends, Gu Zhengming naturally had to entertain him well. After settling down Liu Jiaxi and the others to live, Gu Zhengming called out several capable men and set up a table in the hotel where Fang Yi and the others stayed, preparing to let Liu Jiaxi experience the enthusiasm of the people of Jin Province.
However, Director Gu obviously did not expect that Fang Yi and others who came with Liu Jiaxi were very tenacious in combat. Even Wu Xiaojun, who looked relatively thin, had an extremely alcoholic drinkable amount. He passed the level at the table and gave each other three glasses of wine.
Including the people brought by Gu Zhengming, there were a total of ten people at the table. In the end, Gu Zhengming got drunk Liu Jiaxi, but he and his subordinates were all destroyed, and they all drank unconscious.
"All drinking is so drunk, how can you investigate the case?"
Seeing the people stumbled around the room, Fang Yi, who was still awake, couldn't help but smile bitterly. Ten people drank four boxes of high-alcohol and six bottles in a box. In total, each of them drank more than two pounds, and even Fatty and Sanpao couldn't hold on.
In fact, Fang Yi didn't know that Liu Jiaxi came to Gu Zhengming to ask for assistance through official letters, which shows that what Liu Jiaxi was going to handle was not an important case. Otherwise, he would not dare to mishandle the case because of drinking.
Fortunately, the hotel they stayed at was upstairs when they were drinking. Fang Yi went to the front desk and opened another room, asking the waiter to put up several people. If these drunks were asked to return to the unit, they would definitely not be able to escape if they were punished.
"Waiter, where is the antique market here?" After relocating those drunk people, Fang Yi changed his clothes and went downstairs. He could see that in searching for Si Yuanjie, it was better to beg for others than to beg for others.
"Antique market? Are you talking about the flower, bird and insect market? It seems that there are antiques selling there..."
The front desk waiter pointed his finger out the door and said, "When you go out, turn right, after passing the second red street light, turn left about four or five hundred meters. After passing an underground passage, turn right three hundred meters, you can see the flower, bird and insect market..."
"Okay, thank you!"
After hearing the waiter say that, Fang Yi nodded, raised his foot and walked out. Although the girl said something a little confused, Fang Yi has such a memory. After listening to it once, he can repeat everything with a good word.
"Hey, I'm about to get off work, I can take you there..."
Seeing Fang Yi walking directly outside the door, the waiter immediately shouted behind him. In fact, the girl was joking with Fang Yi. Her family lived near the flower, bird and insect market. She originally planned to take Fang Yi over there.
"No, I can find it..."
Fang Yi waved his hand without looking back. Following the route the girl pointed, Fang Yi looked all the way. Not to mention that although the girl was a little confused, she was very accurate. In just seven or eight minutes, Fang Yi found the flower, bird and insect market.
"It's really familiar..."
Walking in the market, Fang Yi couldn't help but laugh. After staying in the Jinling Antique Market for a while, even if he changed his city, Fang Yi still felt familiar because the layout of this flower, bird and insect market is similar to the Chaotian Palace Antique Market before.
Although the name of the market is called the Flower, Bird and Insect Market, this market is just buying some flower, bird and pets on the outside. In the center of the market, there are rows of antique stalls.
Although the scale of this market is much smaller than that of Chaotian Palace, although the sparrow is small, it is fully equipped with all kinds of organs. It can basically be seen from cultural relics and miscellaneous artifacts and calligraphy in the market. Fang Yi hand-written it in his pocket, wandering around the market like other tourists.
"Now there are fewer and fewer people using compass, and they can't even find one..."
After wandering around for more than half an hour, Fang Yi stood in front of a stall with some disappointment. He originally wanted to find a Feng Shui compass and used the compass to find Si Yuanjie's location, but after searching for such a circle, Fang Yi didn't even see a compass.
"Oh, if you can't, just find a few copper coins..."
Seeing the pile of copper coins scattered on the street stall in front of him, Fang Yi squatted down. The effect of using a compass by divination and finding people is much better than using copper coins, but he really can't find the compass. Fang Yi can only use copper coins if he wants to be second.
"Qianlong Tongbao..." He casually pulled it with his hands. The copper coins that Fang Yi saw the most were from the Qianlong period, and he couldn't help but squint the corner of his mouth.
The most popular masters who use Qianlong Tongbao when teaching fortunes is the Qianlong Tongbao. In their opinion, the sixty-four hexagrams are Qian as the heaven and the head, and Qianlong coins are just in line with the characters, which is in line with the ancients' psychology of the emperor as the heaven. The sky is round and the place is round, and the use of copper coins is just the representative of heaven and earth. The emperor's year name represents the person, which is just a three-talent in heaven, earth and man, and communicates with ghosts and gods.
However, Fang Yi's way of divination and asking questions was different from those of the masters. He inherited the Taoist arts of the old Taoist priests, and the best use of rare and precious copper coins. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts push and grind. Only by using this kind of copper coins can he drive ghosts and gods to use them for his own use.
"Hmm? This money is a bit weird..."
After Fang Yi pulled the Qianlong Tongbao aside, he found that under the copper coins, there was a layer of copper rust-spotted copper coins. Perhaps because he had been buried in the soil for a long time, there were several copper coins that could no longer see the words on it.
"Hey, I said, why are you scattering around? If you want it, don't make trouble..."
Seeing Fang Yi pulling apart the good copper coins he deliberately put on it, the stall owner was a little unhappy. Although antiques are expensive, they are so old that they can't even tell the difference between literals, and the copper coins lose their original value.
"Yes, boss, how do you sell these copper coins?"
Fang Yi smiled and pointed to a few copper coins with great rust. Because these copper coins made Fang Yi feel the vicissitudes of time again, and Fang Yi usually encounters some good things when he feels this way.
"Why do you want these rusted copper coins?"
Seeing the copper coins Fang Yi mentioned, the middle-aged stall owner in his forties was a little surprised. There was no fool who was hanging out with antiques. Fang Yi's behavior made the stall owner feel a little suspicious. Could it be that these copper coins he had really good things?
"It's been rusted for a long time..."
Fang Yi acted like an expert and said, "You Kangxi, Qianlong Tongbao are all currency, not long, there are many on the market, and they are not valuable at all. It would be better to buy them and use these copper coins to grind them out. Maybe they are good things!"
"Grind it out?"
When he heard Fang Yi's words, the stall owner almost burst out laughing. He originally thought Fang Yi was an expert, but he didn't expect that he was a stick. These copper coins were so rusted that they were probably sharp enough to be used as hidden weapons after being polished. It was impossible to see the words above.
"Brother, let me tell you the truth. The reason why I put these copper coins at the bottom is because they are the most precious!"
Seeing that Fang Yi was an amateur, the stall owner began to fool him, lowered his voice a little, and said, "To be honest, these copper coins were only out of the soil some time ago. I heard that they were tombs of kings and princes in the Tang Dynasty. You see, they were all earth rust..."
"Yes, this is earth rust..."
Listening to the stall owner's words, Fang Yi almost laughed. What a joke? The rust on these copper coins is obviously the oxidation of water rust, but why does it turn into earth rust in the stall owner's mouth? Anyone who knows a little bit of chemistry can probably recognize it.
"Young man, you really have vision..."
The middle-aged boss gave Fang Yi a thumbs up and said, "Brother, I am also a honest person. If you really want it, it will cost 400 yuan per piece. If you want these three pieces, I will give you another discount to you. How about a total of 1,000 yuan?"
"You...what are you kidding?"
Fang Yi's eyes suddenly widened, looking at the other person like a fool, and said, "Do you think the copper coins made of broken copper are made of gold? Four hundred yuan per piece? I think it's about forty yuan. I tell you, I'm a knowledgeable person, don't fool me as an outsider..."
"Aren't you an amateur, who is an amateur?"
The street stall owner suppressed the smile on his lips. He called out the price of 400 yuan per coin. It was originally a sky-high price. Coins of this type of quality are usually thrown away. He put out the copper coins to look a little more. Not to mention 400 yuan, even four yuan per coin, the stall owner would sell them.
Thinking of this in my heart, the street stall owner naturally wouldn't say that, "Young man, I can't buy my baby for forty yuan, at least 300 yuan. If you pack it, I'll waive you another 100 yuan. How about eight hundred yuan?"
"Take it down, it's about eighty..."
Fang Yi curled his lips, stood up with disdain, and said, "The copper coins on the stall over there, the rust spots on them look older than you are these days. He only bought twenty yuan each. I'll buy his one..."
"Oh, I said, brother, copper coins are not judged by rust spots..."
Listening to Fang Yi's words, the street stall owner was almost crying. The quality of antiques lies in the quality of storage. It was just to use a modern Yuan Datou to bury it in the soil and endure the corrosion of rainwater and soil for decades. It would not be true. Could it be said that its year was earlier than that of Qianlong Tongbao?
"One hundred yuan, do you like to sell it or not..." Fang Yi was about to leave with anger. He was too lazy to bargain with the boss, otherwise Fang Yi would be able to buy these three copper coins for ten yuan, which would also make the street stall owner feel like he was taking advantage of it.
"Oh, don't leave..." Seeing Fang Yi leaving, the street stall owner hurriedly called him, "I'm the first business today, I'm just pretending to lose money and make a lot of money. You can take it away for 100 yuan!"
“This is almost the same…”
Fang Yi turned anger into joy, took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the boss, reached out and picked up the three copper coins, muttering: "Boss, if I pick up the leak, don't feel sorry for me. If I turn around, I may be the object from the Qin and Han dynasties..."
"Okay, even if you polished a treasure, I will accept it too!" The street stall owner looked at Fang Yi with a slander and said, "If you polished it, you must show it to me, so that I can also gain some knowledge..."
"Don't even think about it. I'll take it out and sell it to the capital..." Fang Yi raised his head, and his arrogant attitude seemed to have turned into treasures. The street stall owner couldn't help laughing.
Although these three copper coins have changed from a fraudulent price of one thousand yuan to a transaction price of one hundred yuan, these copper coins are only collected by the street stall owner for a few dollars per kilogram. When converted to each copper coins, the cost is only a few cents at most.
