Chapter 16: God is rushing to send money, so happy
This old man is indeed not lying. Forty percent of the items on the stall are genuine.
It's just a genuine product of average value, and it seems that the family still has some heritage.
"This is my grandma's dressing box. We have quite a few at home, all made of fine wood. If you want it, we can sell it to you cheaply."
Gu Baozhu calmly held it in his hand and bumped it. It was quite heavy. Although it was not a precious huanghuali, it was also made of fine wood.
She opened it and took a look, knocking randomly inside. She looked at it carefully for a long time, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
She just said she was lucky, and look, this is what happened.
There is even a hidden compartment inside this small dressing box. It must be a hidden secret. This old man was afraid that he would be pecked by geese because he hunted geese all day long.
As for whether it is a family heirloom, this may need to be verified.
After all, who would be a prodigal who would sell this kind of dressing box with hidden compartments? It was passed down from ancestors. Isn’t this nonsense!
"Old man, this dressing box is very beautiful. How much does it cost?"
The old man sat up straight and said matter-of-factly, "This is fine wood, and the dressing box is also old. If you want it, just give me a hundred yuan and take it."
The onlookers couldn't help but take a breath, my dear, just a wooden box like this costs 100 yuan, why doesn't this old man grab the money?
You must know that the salary of an ordinary worker now is only a few dozen yuan. This is simply a money grab.
"Sister-in-law, a wooden box costs one hundred. It's too expensive. Let's go."
Gu Weidang's heart trembled. My dear, this thing costs a hundred. It's inlaid with gold. It's so expensive.
"Young man, I don't like to hear what you are saying." The old man became unhappy and glared at him angrily, "This is the best pine and pear wood. It was passed down from my grandmother's generation. It is at least more than a hundred years old.
If you don’t understand history, don’t talk nonsense.”
Gu Weidang was so angry that he said without thinking, "If it's really so valuable, you should keep it for yourself."
The old man choked and turned red. He didn't know how to refute.
As he said, he also felt that the dressing box was worthless, so he sold it.
If it was really valuable, he wouldn't put it on the stall.
"Old man, you are not sincere." Gu Baozhu looked at him with a smile but not a smile, buying and selling, selling and paying back.
"Fifty, I want fifty."
The old man was a little reluctant, "Little girl, I'll make it cheaper, eighty, no more."
He was still about to say something when he saw the little girl preparing to leave.
He didn't want to, so he quickly stood up and shouted, "Hey, little girl, don't leave, fifty is fifty, even if I open today."
This little girl's counteroffer was too harsh, and she cut the price by half.
Forget it, just sell it, fifty is equivalent to one month's salary of my daughter-in-law.
Gu Baozhu didn't hesitate and took out five big unity cards directly from his pocket, and then took the dressing box handed over by the old man.
"Little girl, I also have a dressing box here. It is also an old object. It is said to have been handed down from the Daqing Dynasty. Look, the space inside is really big, and the outside is hollowed out with carvings. Isn't it very beautiful? If you like it,
I’ll only sell you fifty, what do you think?”
The middle-aged man next to him saw this and hurriedly picked up the dressing box from his stall.
This little girl is so generous. She will give you fifty yuan as she asks. You are a rich person.
This is a big customer, maybe he can make a small fortune.
When the old man saw this, he was unhappy: "Zhang Yuan, you are not kind, you came to my stall to sell."
"Uncle Yang, you see you have already sold one order. I have been selling this for several days and haven't sold a single order. The children at home are still waiting for the rice to be cooked. Please don't be angry.
"
"Fuck you, I don't know you yet."
The old man laughed and cursed, but he didn't look angry.
"Little girl, how about it, see if you like it!"
Zhang Yuan handed over the dressing box, and Gu Baozhu handed the dressing box to his eldest nephew, and then took the dressing box from Zhang Yuan.
This dressing box is much larger than the one I just bought. Unfortunately, the wood is just average and the carvings are very fine.
She knocked inside calmly, and when she touched something strange, she felt happy in her heart.
Good guy, really good guy, God is rushing to send you money.
Although the wood of this dressing box was not very good, she knew as soon as she got it started that there were various mechanisms hidden inside. It was really a work of art.
Otherwise, why didn't they find such a big empty box?
"This dressing box is made of mediocre materials, but it has a lot of space. It's not bad. How much does it cost? I don't want it if it's too expensive."
Gu Baozhu looked like he was not trying to trick me. Zhang Yuan was overjoyed when he saw this, it was done.
"Little girl, my material is indeed not as good as Uncle Yang's, but my dressing box is finely made and has enough space. Please give me twenty yuan."
"OK."
Before Gu Weidang could think of how to persuade him, he saw his sister-in-law readily took out the money and gave him the dressing box directly.
Now the two brothers each have a dressing box and are relatively speechless.
Gu Weiguo now understood why Wei Dang had such an expression before. The emotional girl really spends money like water.
In such a short time, I spent seventy yuan and only bought two wooden boxes. If I put these in other people's homes, I might be called a prodigal.
This was just the beginning. Next, Gu Weiguo truly experienced the so-called money flowing like water.
The news of Gu Baozhu's generous offer immediately made the second-hand goods stalls on Fu'an Street become popular. They all looked forward to the little girl visiting their stalls.
Because the little girl is so generous, whether it is jade, porcelain, or iron, as long as the little girl thinks it looks good, she will buy it directly.
Of course they can negotiate the price, but that doesn't stop them from liking such a quick-handling little girl.
Gu Baozhu still has a sense of proportion. After all, there is no way she can buy everything on such a long street. She only chooses those old items that are particularly valuable, or that have hidden mechanisms.
When they came out of the antique street, the hands of the three of them were all occupied by the treasures she had brought back from the antique street.
"Sister-in-law, you..."
Gu Weiguo didn't know what to say for a moment. These things cost nearly three hundred yuan.
This is three hundred yuan, not three yuan!!
Three hundred yuan is a worker's salary for several months. My sister-in-law spent it without blinking an eye. What on earth was she thinking?
"Tsk, you will know when we get back."
Gu Baozhu smiled mysteriously, she never engaged in loss-making business, and her eldest nephew was still too young.
"It's still early now. Let's go home first and show you the good things. Then you can tell me whether I am a prodigal."
Gu Baozhu snorted. Don't think that she didn't hear the mutterings of these two unfilial sons. Then they would know whether she was a prodigal or not.
"Sister-in-law, is there some mystery behind these things?"
Gu Weidang's eyes lit up. He was the age where he loved to dream, and he always felt that there were secrets in his sister-in-law's words.
"If there is any mystery, I'll find out if I go back and take a look."
Gu Baozhu didn't say anything, and Gu Weidang could only follow behind him obediently.
Seeing this, Gu Weiguo couldn't help but shake his head. The SS was still so easy to deceive. Could it be that my aunt had read too many stories?
