Chapter 23: Simple and Honest Zhang Xiaotang
Driving Li Yan's BMW mn, although the displacement is the same as that of a Jetta, the power and handling are completely different. The slender body looks very smooth as it shuttles on the two-lane road.
"Xiaofan, you are so kind. Where did you get such a beautiful jade bracelet? It costs a lot of money, right?" Li Yan happily played with the jade bracelet on her wrist. The color of the ice type plus the sun green color
The color makes people very happy when they see it. No wonder Li Yan likes it very much when she sees it. This kind of color would sell for at least three to four million outside.
How could Zhang Xiaofan have the money to buy such an expensive thing, but he didn't hide anything from her. He omitted the ghost story and told the rest, including the part about enriching himself.
"Ah, how are you going to get the underworld weapon!" Li Yan screamed.
Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly said: "My eldest lady, this is not a ghost weapon, this is a jade bracelet. Take a closer look. There is no trace of Yin Qi on it." [
What he said was strange. There was no problem at all in deceiving Li Yan.
Li Yan spat and said coquettishly: "I'm not the second grandpa, how could I tell that?" She rolled her eyes, turned her head and kissed him. Seeing Zhang Xiaofan's hand shaking, she burst into laughter.
"What's in that little bag of yours?" Li Yan saw a bag next to him, which was bulging as if it contained a lot of things.
Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said: "This is a gift for Grandpa and Grandpa. As for you, I have already given it to you." He didn't know the quality and value of the antiques, but just looking at the bracelet, he knew it was worth a lot.
You must know that this is not a fake found in a store or antique street, but a stolen artifact that Xie Ming and Wang Jin have not resold yet. The possibility that it may be a fake is almost zero.
Li Yan's eyes lit up and she said happily: "How many pieces did you take? Show me all!"
"There aren't many pieces. Apart from the one on my finger, the only one left is this jade bracelet." If Zhang Xiaofan hadn't been afraid that she would be unhappy, he wouldn't have had the guts to pick out a jade bracelet.
Li Yan's eyes glowed green, and she said angrily: "You stupid boy, you just took two of the two boxes of things! And this copper tiger head, you also took the pure gold one, how much is copper worth?"
money?"
Zhang Xiaofan said, he was making a fuss at first, but now he feels disgusted that he got less.
While Li Yan was admiring her jade bracelet, she liked it no matter how much she saw it, and asked casually: "By the way, should we call Xiaotang and go to grandpa's place together? It's only a quarter past ten, and we can still get there after picking this guy up."
Let’s have lunch at Shangdetang.”
Zhang Xiaofan had an idea. The three of them were juniors who grew up together. If they went to their grandfather's house to visit the old man together, it would also make the two grandfathers happy. Thinking of this, he turned the steering wheel and drove towards the Liyuan.
Liyuan is a major characteristic area in Zhongzhou. It not only has a flower and bird market, but also a place for trading antiques. It can be said to be a leisure and cultural center.
Li Yan's tall, mature and beautiful style, coupled with Zhang Xiaofan's handsome appearance, the two of them walked down the street holding hands, attracting many people's admiring glances. In addition, Dahei followed them closely, and they immediately became
A scene from the pear garden.
"Xiaotang is still fooling around here?" Zhang Xiaofan looked around, as if looking for his cousin in the crowd.
Li Yan said with a smile: "This brat still has the same kind of moral character. He doesn't keep upright every day. He cheats, deceives, and deceives. It's a common thing. Whenever the second grandfather sees him angry, he won't hit him. He will be scolded and punished.
Beating is a common occurrence."
Zhang Xiaofan said bitterly: "That's right! This guy is not a good person. He has been laughing at me since I was a child because I was punished by my grandfather. When I was in school, he used my reputation to molest little girls. I didn't even ask him to settle the score."
When Li Yan heard this, she snorted softly, reached out and twisted the soft flesh on his waist, causing him to grimace in pain.
"Sister, what's wrong with me!"
"You are not a good person either. Don't think I don't know. Why did you two lie down at Teacher Wu's house in the middle of the night when you were in high school?" Li Yan gave him a fierce look.[
Zhang Xiaofan was suddenly shocked and said with a smile: "Hehe, hehe... Then, isn't that young and ignorant?" Then he asked: "How do you know this?"
"How do I know? Xiaotang bragged with those classmates the next day and told them all." Li Yan said angrily.

"This damn fat guy..." Zhang Xiaofan said through gritted teeth.
Not long after leaving, the two of them saw a group of people gathered not far away, as if they were bargaining. There were not many people in the Liyuan at this time. Most of them were old men and women returning home from morning exercises. There were also some leisurely guys who had nothing to do.
Walk around here a few times to see what you can find.
"Brother, your dog is too expensive. One dog costs two thousand yuan. You think it's a black back." A young man said.
A chubby young man with short hair, dressed very simply, with yellowed sneakers on his feet, looked a little depressed. There were two young yellow-haired puppies beside him. At first glance, it was obvious that they were the kind of local dogs on the street. They seemed to be
It's only two months old and is licking the rice soup from the bowl.
"My family's big and small dogs are purebred pastoral dogs. They can be used as hunting dogs after being tamed casually. They are definitely not expensive if sold for two thousand." The fat man looks honest and speaks very sincerely, giving people a feeling of being honest and courteous.
"Damn it, a local dog sells for two thousand, aren't you trying to kill someone?" Everyone was talking about it, and they all regarded the fat man as a fool.
When Zhang Xiaofan and his brother saw this scene, they smiled in acquaintance.
"Xiaotang no longer sells charms?"
Li Yan smiled and said: "Occasionally I sell them. He doesn't sell talismans here. East Street in Liyuan is his territory. He comes here once a month on South Street and leaves immediately after making a profit."
"This damn fat guy is very clever and knows how to play guerrilla warfare."
They smiled and watched their cousin fooling people from a distance. In fact, Zhang Xiaotang's trick was not a clever trick. Most people would never be fooled. Those who would be fooled were not ordinary people. They had a lot of money.
.
Just at this moment, a middle-aged man walked over. When he saw the two puppies competing for food, his eyes suddenly lit up and asked: "Are these two dogs yours?"
Zhang Xiaotang looked up blankly at the man in front of him, nodded and said, "Well, uncle, do you want to buy it?"
"The dog is nice, how much does it cost for one?"
Zhang Xiaotang chuckled and said: "They are not expensive, they are good dogs, only two thousand for one."
The middle-aged man was startled when he heard this. He rolled his eyes and said, "Two thousand for one is a bit expensive. Is it okay if I buy one?"
Everyone was shocked and turned to look at the middle-aged man. Such wild dogs can be seen all over the street. They didn't know why he had to go to Liyuan to buy two thousand dogs. Is it because he was sick or because he had too much money?
Burnt.
Who knows that he wants to buy it, but the other party doesn't want to sell it yet.
Zhang Xiaotang shook his head like a rattle and disagreed: "No, big wealth and small wealth cannot be separated. If you want to buy them, you have to buy them both together. I don't just sell them."
Everyone smiled bitterly. They had seen a lot of strange people and strange things, but this was the first time they had encountered something like today.[
"Hey, fat man, if someone buys your dog, sell it immediately. Why bother? Sell it for two thousand. I won't buy your dog for twenty." The young man from before said sarcastically.
Zhang Xiaotang ignored him and only looked at the middle-aged man with expectant eyes, hoping that he could take away both the big and small fortunes.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and bargained: "Three thousand, three thousand or two, give it to me."
"No, my mother told me when I went out that no one would sell anything less than four thousand." Zhang Xiaotang said firmly.
"Thirty-five hundred yuan! I only have so much cash on me. If I don't sell it, there's nothing I can do." The middle-aged man stood up and wanted to leave.
This move is the buyer's killer move. Generally speaking, in a situation like this, the seller will keep it. The difference of five hundred yuan is not a big deal. It is enough to sell two worthless dogs for three thousand and fifty yuan. However, Zhang Xiaotang still
Unmoved, he gently caressed the big and small fortunes, his love and pity showing on his face.
"I'm sorry, if my mother hadn't allowed me to keep dogs, I would never have sold them. All four thousand and two must be sold together."
The middle-aged man who was about to leave saw that the trick didn't work, and smiled bitterly. He shook his head and said, "I've seen people with hard prices, but I've never seen anyone as hard as you. Okay, it's up to you." After that, he took out his own hand.
He took his handbag with him, counted out a stack of red hundred-dollar bills, and handed them to the fat man.
"Count it, it's four thousand yuan."
Zhang Mingtang stood up quickly, took over the money and counted the money quickly. His speed was comparable to that of a professional in a bank. Within a few seconds, he put the money into his pocket in front of everyone's astonished eyes, and said with a smile: "Uncle,
you are nice."
He handed the two dog leashes to the other party, then picked up the empty bowl on the ground and prepared to leave.
The middle-aged man hurriedly called to him and said with a smile: "Little brother, I bought a dog, but I'm worried that these two little guys will recognize each other. Can you give me the bowl that they usually eat?"
The fat man grinned and said, "No, don't worry, big and small fortunes won't be so squeamish." As soon as he finished speaking, he planned to walk out of the crowd.
"Aren't I worried? Little brother, this bowl of yours isn't even worth two cents. You might as well just be a favor and give it to me." The middle-aged man said reluctantly.
Zhang Xiaotang looked at the other party with a strange look and said: "Uncle, I am a countryman, don't fool me." He raised the porcelain bowl in his hand and said: "This is a fine red-glazed porcelain from a folk kiln during the Qianlong period. Someone
I'm not even willing to sell it for even 150,000 yuan, so it's not worth two cents."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded. Everyone was suddenly startled. They turned to look at the middle-aged man who bought two native dogs at a high price. When they saw his eyes were as wide as bells, and he was astonished.
What a ghost.
Zhang Xiaotang swayed out of the crowd, looking extremely proud, not even the slightest bit honest.
"Boy, this technique is good." Li Yan took her brother's hand, walked forward and smiled.
Zhang Xiaotang was startled, looking at the two people in front of him in disbelief, and exclaimed: "Sister, Xiaofan, why are you here?"
Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said: "If you hadn't come, how could you have seen such a wonderful scene? If Grandpa Er knew that his precious grandson used this trick to fish in the Liyuan, would he take out his sword and give you a hole?"
"Haha, look at you, we sister and brother haven't seen each other for a long time, and they scare me when we meet." The fat man patted his chest and shouted: "I'll treat you to Jin Kee Restaurant at noon!"
Before he finished speaking, a woman's voice came from behind: "Xiaotang, Xiaotang..."
Zhang Xiaotang twisted around to take a look, and was so stunned that he almost fell to the ground. He saw his girlfriend Luo Min, who had just been with him for a month, walking up with a middle-aged man. The most surprising thing was that the middle-aged man walked up.
The young man also held two local dogs in his hands, and his face was as dark as Bao Gong.
"Xiaotang, this is my dad." Luo Min was very excited. She held the middle-aged man's hand and said softly: "Dad, this is the Xiaotang I'm talking about. He is so kind to me. I want him to go to bed at noon.
Do you think it’s okay for us to have dinner at home?”
