Mrs. Du blew up again

Chapter 30 The Strange Old Man
Yang Saonian and I looked in that direction when we heard the noise, and saw a cabinet on the left side of the entrance suddenly move away, followed by a secret door in front of us.

An old man slowly walked out of the secret door. I looked at him carefully. He was only about 1.6 meters tall. He was wearing a navy blue long coat and trousers, and old-fashioned cloth shoes on his feet. He walked slowly and slowly, with some bows. back.

I looked at his face, the thin face was full of marks left by the years, and a pair of cloudy eyes were also looking at us at this moment.

I hurriedly smiled and said, "So you still have a secret door here. I said why is there no one in the huge shop. You are really relieved to see so many treasures here."

The old man chuckled at me, but the smile made me feel very uncomfortable. The feeling of a superficial smile is very irritating.

Before we could ask a question, he turned around and closed the secret door again. The inside of the door was pitch black. I was just wondering if Yun Muchen was inside?Maybe he couldn't hide because he found us following us?

"Are you here to see the goods?" The old man walked over tremblingly: "Come and see, my shop is just for you to inquire about, it is the earliest old shop on Zhuque Street, and the things here are all genuine top-notch goods, It’s not comparable to those Singapore goods on the stalls outside.”

"Singapore?" Yang Saonian asked curiously, "Is there any goods imported from Singapore?"

The old man turned his head and glared at Yang Saonian, and said with a local accent: "There are a lot of Singapore outside, you turn left when you go out, and there are stalls all over the floor."

The more Yang Saonian listened, the more confused he became, and he wanted to ask, but I stopped him with my hand. This old man is very clever, and he used jargon to test whether we are insiders or outsiders. People can no longer deceive people by asking for evil prices. If they are outsiders, they will be slaughtered because they don’t understand the market.

I said to the old man: "You are speaking too loudly. Compared with the street stalls outside, of course your place is of a higher grade. However, there are quite a few Bayes in this shop who have tried their hands. If there is some value, it might be the bronze tripod on the cabinet on the left, but this thing is priceless, and no one who likes to collect things wants to put things used by the dead at home, what a disgrace, don’t you think?”

The old man looked me up again in surprise, and there was a smile on his gloomy face: "It seems that I'm from the industry."

I smiled without saying a word, but sneered in my heart. This old man wanted to slaughter a fat sheep but he found the wrong person. I studied archeology and I am very proficient in these industry words. "Singapore" means "new fake broken". , Most of them allude to low imitation products with rough workmanship. People in the industry can tell that they are counterfeit at a glance. They usually appear on the street stalls in the antique street. Most of them deceive those who don't understand anything.

"Ba Ye", the code word in the industry is the new imitation second-hand goods. This is a level higher than "Singapore". .

"Hands-on" means that the old ones have been damaged and repaired. This is a technical job, especially if the ceramic jade is damaged, it is difficult to repair it. However, there are still experts in the industry who can restore the damaged things to [-]-[-]%. The appearance, as long as it is not for the sharp-eyed, it can basically be sold as a whole product.

When the old man saw me, he immediately revealed the authenticity of the goods in his shop, and he stopped beating around the bush. He pointed to the bamboo chair next to him and said, "Sit down, both of you, and talk."

Yang Sao and I sat down with the old man, and the old man poured us two cups of tea with a purple clay pot: "Since you two are in the industry, we can just talk about what we have. There are still a few items available, it depends on what you two want and where the price is."
