Chapter 57 What is the value?
After getting the cucumber gourd, Tang Ping, who was satisfied, put it in his arms and walked straight towards Liu Chuan's pet shop.
"Oh, our Manager Zhuang Da is finally back. You are so arrogant. Everyone is waiting for you in the room!" As soon as Tang Ping stepped into the door of the pet store, he heard Liu Chuan's loud voice yelling. Sure enough, there were quite a lot of people in the store.
In addition to Qin Xuanbing and Lei Lei, there were three men sitting on the sofa beside Liu Chuan. One was a thin old man in his sixties but in good spirits, and the other two were middle-aged people in their forties. Judging from their clothes, they didn't look like they were here to buy pets.
When Tang Ping looked at the three people, Liu Chuan hurriedly pulled him over and introduced him. It turned out that the old man was the old man in the Yaxuan store from Brother Xiong. His surname was Lu. He was an old senior in the Pengcheng antique industry, the president of the Pengcheng antique association, and the director of the Jewelry and Jade Association.
The other two Boss Song and Boss Wang are also from the antique industry. They both have shops in this antique market, and they are all of them of a large number of fonts, so they are considered top figures in the antique industry in Pengcheng.
The reason why they gathered at Liu Chuan was naturally because they heard that Tang Ping had previously collected a manuscript of Xiangzu notes by Wang Shizhen in the early Qing Dynasty, so they were curious to come and see it.
After knowing their purpose, Tang Ping smiled and said, "Haha, before the New Year, I did receive a broken manuscript. Looking at the broken manuscript, it didn't look like it was a fake, it should be a rare ancient book. I also checked some information. The content of the manuscript was Wang Shizhen's notes on Xiangzu. As for who wrote it, and whether it was a manuscript left by Wang Shizhen, I can't tell it clearly."
"Brother Zhuang, can you use it to let us see it?" Song Jun, who had a rough appearance, said loudly.
"Look at it, it's okay, but now? Here?" Tang Ping, who readily agreed, looked at the people coming and going, a little noisy pet shop.
Seeing this, Song Jun immediately smiled and said, "Hey, I'm wronged. This place is not suitable. Let's do this. If you have time tomorrow morning, if you have time, take the manuscript to the Jingmingxuan Teahouse next to this market. That's my business. Let's have a tea tasting and treasure appraisal."
"Old man, are you okay?" Song Jun, who seemed to be crazi, spoke very sensible. As he said, he turned to look at Mr. Lu, headed by him. Moreover, his behavior and conversation were very generous, and he didn't look like an ordinary antique collector.
Mr. Lu also nodded slightly and said, "I think this is OK. I just don't know if Xiaozhuang has time tomorrow?"
"Okay, since Mr. Lu said that, I will arrive on time tomorrow," Tang Ping, who nodded lightly, then reached out and took out the grasshopper gourd he had just obtained from his arms: "By the way, I just collected a small object on the market. I like it very much. I wonder if Mr. Lu can help me with the palm of my eyes and break the generation?"
When he saw the grasshopper gourd in Tang Ping's hand, Old Master Lu, who was originally smiling, suddenly his face changed.
When Liu Chuan, Qin Xuanbing, Lei Lei and others came over curiously.
When Liu Chuan heard Tang Ping say that the grasshopper gourd was bought for 800 yuan, he immediately started to yell again, thinking that his brother had been cheated.
"2,000 yuan, I want this thing," Qin Xuanbing said in a flash of beautiful eyes as he looked at the grasshopper gourd that was snatched from Tang Ping.
Liu Chuan glared at him immediately, and Tang Ping just glanced at Qin Xuanbing indifferently and refused directly: "No, I bought this thing myself to play with."
"5000," Qin Xuanbing continued to speak, as if he was not talking about five thousand yuan, but five yuan at will.
However, this time, Tang Ping was too lazy to respond. After taking the cucumber gourd from Liu Chuan, he handed it to Mr. Lu: "Uncle Lu, please take a look first!"
Qin Xuanbing brows raised her eyebrows and was obviously angry. Seeing this, Lei Lei was a little helpless, while Liu Chuan was secretly happy in her heart. Oh my god, do you really think that if you have money, you can smash people?
Tang Ping didn't even look at Qin Xuanbing again. She was angry and cares about her own affairs. Sanhe Liu's gourd was just 5,000 yuan, so how could it be so cheap?
Mr. Lu, who took the cucumber gourd, first flicked the belly of the gourd with his fingers. The cucumber inside suddenly started to roar, and a crisp and loud voice sounded in the store. Then Mr. Lu took out a thumb-sized magnifying glass from his pocket, carefully observed the hollow core of the gourd. After a few minutes, he put away the magnifying glass and sighed.
"Xiaozhuang, are you really not selling this item?" While playing with the grasshopper gourd in your hand, Old Master Lu said something that surprised everyone.
Tang Ping smiled without comment: "The person who sold me the grasshopper gourd said, Mr. Lu, you once paid 800 yuan to buy his gourd. Although the price of 800 is not necessarily true, I can feel that he said, Mr. Lu, you want to buy his grasshopper gourd, and this is true. It is possible that Mr. Lu, you want to buy it, you must not just like it, right? Did you see anything about this gourd?"
"You bought it because of this?" Old Master Lu was also a little surprised when he heard this.
"I also feel that when I held this cucumber gourd in my hand, I felt that it didn't look like an ordinary cucumber gourd," Tang Ping smiled and said, "Now it seems that I've bet right. My luck recently is indeed good."
Mr. Lu, who shook his head and smiled bitterly, couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaozhuang, you have such a keen insight and courage!"
"Old man, you haven't said yet. What is the origin of this gourd? How much is it worth?" Tang Pinglian said: "If the price is right, if you always like it, then I can give up my love!"
Everyone was speechless when they heard this. They just bought this thing and didn't sell it! Qin Xuanbing looked at Tang Ping and was already gritting her teeth and glaring.
However, Tang Ping's words made Mr. Lu's eyes lightly bright, and then he said: "This is Sanhe Liu's teeth-mouth gourd. Yesterday I saw Nobita holding this, but it was a little late at that time, so I didn't look at it carefully. I couldn't guarantee the source of the gourd, so I offered him a price of 100 yuan. I was thinking about going to take a look again in the next few days, but I didn't expect you to take it away. Oh, this is a bit coincidental."
"According to the market conditions, Sanhe Liu's gourd is about 50,000 to 100,000 yuan. Xiaozhuang, if you really want to sell it, I can pay 80,000 yuan," Mr. Lu continued.
Originally, Song Jun and Boss Wang were also a little moved to bid, but when they saw that Mr. Lu had 80,000 yuan, the price he offered was no less. It seemed that he was determined to win, so he didn't speak.
But at this moment, a cool and pleasant voice suddenly sounded: "I'll pay 150,000!"
"Miss, you... do you also like to collect these objects?" Mr. Lu didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway. Seeing Qin Xuanbing shouting for a price, he couldn't help but look a little ugly. He raised the price so much at once. Isn't it a mess?
"Since Mr. Zhuang said that if the price is right, he can give up," he glanced at Qin Xuanbing, who looked at Tang Ping, and then looked at Mr. Lu and said, "You can bid, why can't I? 150,000, Mr. Zhuang, you can consider it."
The last sentence was obviously what Tang Ping said again. After that, she looked at Tang Ping again. Although she felt a little angry, she really wanted to get this cucumber gourd.
