Chapter 344 Stranger's Old Items
Isn’t it normal for antique shops to collect old items?
Because isn’t that what antique shops are for?
Listening to what the white-clothed boss Qin in front of me said, could it be that he collected something unclean?
When Lao Chen heard this, not only was he not nervous, but he was even happier. He said directly: "Boss Qin, your store is not unclean. If it is not clean, the transfer price will probably be even lower. Generally, a haunted house
The price is twice as low as the price of normal housing..."
When the old man in white clothes heard Lao Chen say the word "haunted house", he immediately became angry!
He pointed at Lao Chen's nose and cursed: "Can you speak? Why do you say my store is a haunted house? If word gets out, how can we do business in the future?"
Lao Chen knew he was speechless. Maybe he was used to dealing in haunted houses, so he said those two words smoothly.
We are in this business and feel that the word "haunted house" is not a big deal, but most people must be very taboo about these two words and they definitely don't like to hear them.
Lao Chen also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he apologized to the other party again and again!
I also spoke up and said, "I'm really sorry. Our store manager Chen just said it casually. Don't pay attention. Otherwise, please tell us what kind of trick you got."
The reason why I ask this is to change the subject!
Now that the old man was angry, he might have changed the subject and the other party would forget what made him angry just now.
But I didn't expect that when Boss Qin heard me say the word "scam", the old man seemed to look at me with a high regard!
He stood up, looked me up and down, and then said: "Young man, I didn't expect you to know about trickery. You are young and have quite a wide range of knowledge. Yes, the thing I collected is actually a
Trick!!!"
I know about "tricksters" not because I am so knowledgeable, but because I know this guy Edward.
Now that everything has been said, I am even more curious, what kind of trick did this boss Qin accept?
Could the transfer of the store have anything to do with the sneaky item he received?!
Since we wanted to ask, Boss Qin didn't want to hide it, so he told us that when he collected the thing before, he didn't know that it was a strange thing. How could it be so evil?
It is said that not long ago...
A stranger came to the door of the antique shop. The man asked Boss Qin if he would accept old items.
This is what Boss Qin does when he opens his business. He immediately asked him if he had any old items for sale and did he bring them with him?
The stranger nodded and said he had brought it.
Boss Qin looked at the stranger in front of him and looked like a country boy. He felt very happy, thinking that he had to pick up some big leaks today.
So he invited the stranger into the house to talk in detail.
After closing the door, Boss Qin asked him to take out the things and give them to him. The man fumbled and took out a newspaper ball from his pocket. It didn't look very big and it wasn't very heavy either.
Boss Qin is very discerning and can tell at a glance that it is not jade or porcelain because it is too light.
Feeling disappointed, Boss Qin said in a cold tone, asking him to open the newspaper and read it.
As a result, the man opened the newspaper...
Boss Qin looked down and frowned!
Because this thing does look old, but it is of little value. It looks like a little person, not much bigger than a disposable lighter. It is reddish-brown all over, and you can't tell what kind of material it is made of.
I don’t know what color it was originally. The reddish-brown color must have changed due to age. The principle is similar to that of a plastic mobile phone case.
Boss Qin is rich in experience, but he can’t figure out what this is?
He asked the stranger: "Brother, what are you doing?"
"This is a witch doll..." the stranger said simply.
Witch Gu Doll?!
When Boss Qin heard this, he just smiled. He felt that witchcraft dolls were just a trick played by children. He didn't expect that such a thing actually existed in ancient times.
Since this little person is a witchcraft doll, Boss Qin took a closer look and found that indeed, the thing looked like a small straw man made of linen and straw.
Moreover, many traces of being pricked by needles can be seen on the little grass man’s body!
I don’t know if the reddish-brown color on the surface is because the linen has changed color over time, or if it has been stained with blood!
Boss Qin was greatly disappointed. He originally thought he could catch something, but what he saw was something like this. He was conflicted at the time and didn't expect to accept it at all.
So, Boss Qin was going to send the stranger away quickly and ask him to go to another store to ask.
But the stranger had no intention of leaving, and instead explained: "Boss, although this thing of mine may not look like much, it is really effective!"
Boss Qin smiled, just listening to the story, and asked him: "What, have you tested it yourself?"
"Yes, yes," the stranger nodded repeatedly, "the method is very simple, just take three needles, stick them on the witch doll's body, and then chant the name of the person you want to curse, within three days, you will see results!
"
Boss Qin didn't believe it even more. He felt that this man was a lunatic, so he was ready to see the guests off.
When the stranger saw that Boss Qin was not interested in collecting his things, he sighed and rewrapped them in newspapers. He left Boss Qin's shop and walked directly to the shop on the opposite street...
Boss Qin stood at the door and looked at him. He felt panicked for some reason and asked him from behind: "Hey, what are you doing across the way?!"
The stranger stopped, turned around and replied that when he didn't come to Boss Qin's shop just now, he went to a shop on the opposite street first. The boss wanted to pay 300 yuan to collect his things, but he felt that this
It should be worth 500 yuan, but I didn’t give it to the boss. Now he goes back and plans to sell it to him for 300 yuan...
Boss Qin glanced at the opposite shop owner. He knew the owner of the shop opposite. The owner's surname was Jin, and he was always at odds with Boss Qin. The two of them often had quarrels over competing for business.
At this time, Boss Qin suddenly thought...
If Boss Jin opposite buys a witchcraft doll, will he use it to curse himself? That old Jin has no bottom line in what he does!
Thinking of this, Boss Qin quickly stopped the stranger and said, "Come back, come back, I'll give you 300 yuan, and you can keep that thing for me!"
The stranger was very happy when he heard it. For him, it didn't matter who he sold the thing to.
So, Boss Qin took 300 yuan and gave it to the stranger. After all, it was only 300 yuan.
