The man in green clothes hurriedly said: "Wait a minute." The man in green clothes looked around, then walked towards the cashier and the owner of the roast sheep shop and said: "Boss, do you have any activity money on hand to lend me some?"
The man in green clothes had been to this store several times and was somewhat familiar with the boss. The man in green clothes took a step closer and whispered to the boss: "Boss, I have seen this pair of jade pendants at an auction before. They are worth at least five million.
You lend me 400,000 today, and I will pay you back 500,000 in three days. If you can't trust me, I can make a written agreement with you."
The owner of the roast sheep shop was a little moved after hearing what the man in green said, but he was also a little uneasy and hesitant.
Seeing this, the man in green handed over a jade pendant, and then said: "In this way, I will leave a piece of jade pendant for you as a mortgage. If this piece of jade pendant is sold alone, it can be sold for more than two million."
The owner of the roast sheep shop took the jade pendant and looked at it. He didn't understand antiques, so he didn't see why.
The owner of the roast sheep shop thought for a while and said to the man in green: "Wait a minute."
The owner of the roast sheep shop walked up to Wang Meng with the jade pendant and said, "Mengzi, you go out and see the world, help me see if this jade pendant is an antique."
The man in green clothes looked a little impatient when the owner of the roast sheep shop wanted someone else to identify him. But when he saw that the jade pendant had been handed over, he had no choice but to look back at the man in red clothes.
The man in red understood the idea and said loudly to the man in green: "Do you want to buy it? If not, don't waste my time."
The man in green used this excuse to urge the owner of the roast sheep shop. The owner of the roast sheep shop pretended that Wang Meng's family had money and he couldn't afford that much money, but Wang Meng might be able to. And Wang Meng had gone out to see the world, so he could
Help check, so let him see that he can't lose you, and so on, so he comforted the man in green.
Wang Meng didn't understand antiques either, but after hearing what the owner of the roast sheep shop said, he pretended to be an expert. He pretended to look at it again and again, and then lifted it up and looked at it through the light.
But if you don’t understand antiques, you just don’t understand them. No matter how you look at them, you can still tell why they came about. Wang Meng thought about it, pretended to be sophisticated and gave the jade pendant to Ye Feng and said: "Old Ye, come and have a look, to test your eyesight."
How about it."
Ye Feng didn't know much about antiques, and he had never seen Tang Dynasty antiques, so he thought it would be a good idea to take the opportunity to broaden his horizons.
Ye Feng took a closer look and found something. He was moved in his heart and whispered to Wang Meng: "I don't understand antiques either, but I have read a book called "Secret Recipes Collection" before. I don't know who wrote it. It talks about how to read jade.
"
"If it is an old jade from the Qin and Han Dynasties, its texture is rotten and loose, and its jade quality is not completely exhausted. It can only be cut off with a knife. If it is an old jade from the Jin, Wei and Six Dynasties, its texture has not changed and its jade quality is still strong. There are occasional soft and hard jade articles, which are
Ancient treasures in the southern soil. Old jade from the Shi Dynasty and the Ci Dynasty, the texture is still the same, as hard and firm as before, and mercury occasionally penetrates into the jade."
"This piece of jade is nephrite, and the feeling is inconsistent with the "texture remains the same, firm and hard as before" mentioned in the article. Of course, this book is a "wild book" and there is no way to distinguish the authenticity."
Wang Meng said contemptuously: "Then you didn't say anything?"
Ye Feng continued: "But I know that when modern technology is used to hollow out the inside of jade, the technology used is polishing, while the technology used in ancient times was wire sawing. From this point of view, this jade pendant may not be an antique."
Wang Meng asked in a low voice: "Damn, are you gasping for air? How can you tell? Please tell me carefully."
Ye Feng smiled helplessly, then pointed to the edge of the hollow in the middle of the jade pendant, and said: "Look at the lines on this jade pendant. Its wear marks are along the length of the jade. This means that the tools used are polished in a rotating state. You
Think about it, how could the ancients have such a tool as an electric drill? The ancients first turned the holes manually and then used a wire saw to pull the saw vertically. The jade pendant texture made by this process is horizontal."
Wang Meng snorted and said, "That's right, I didn't expect you, Old Ye, to be a bit like me." Then he turned around and secretly told the owner of the roast sheep shop what Ye Feng had just said.
Ye Feng did not bother to argue with Wang Meng. After all, he was in front of someone Wang Meng knew, so Ye Feng would not tell the truth and wanted to save face for Wang Meng at this time.
After hearing this, the owner of the roast sheep shop said to the man in green: "I'm so sorry, we don't have that much money, you'd better find someone else to look at."
Because Wang Meng deliberately raised his voice to show off when explaining to the owner of the roast sheep shop, the man in green and the man in red probably heard what Wang Meng said and realized that the other party had exposed their trick.
The man in green still pretended to be calm and complained: "If you didn't tell us earlier if you didn't have money, you still took us so long because you didn't have money."
The owner of the roast sheep shop said in a calm way: "Yes, yes, it's my problem."
When the man in red saw the boss admitting his mistake, he thought the boss was afraid, so he became a little irritable and said loudly: "You have no money and you still look at two idiots who don't know how to pretend to understand for so long?"
Wang Meng was feeling smug when he heard the words of the man in red and became furious. He shouted: "You two old liars, say it again. I'll give you some face. I didn't expose you in front of so many people. How dare you do it right away?"
This is the same as me. You two old liars, don’t leave. Let’s call the police and see if we are pretending to understand, or if you two old bastards are collaborating to deceive people.”
Just as the man in red was about to curse, the man in green saw that the matter had been exposed and was afraid that things would get serious. He immediately stopped the man in red and said, "What are you talking to these ignorant people? Come on, let's go somewhere else."
place."
After saying that, he dragged the man in red away. When he walked to the door, the man in green looked back at Ye Feng and Wang Meng with cold eyes. He secretly made a note of these two people in his mind and planned how to avenge today's revenge in the future.
Wang Meng still shouted relentlessly: "If you have the guts, grandson, don't run away. Call the police to see who doesn't know the goods."
The owner of the roast sheep shop comforted Wang Meng and said: "Forget it, Meng, calm down. It's my fault today, and this meal is mine."
The owner of the roast lamb shop comforted Wang Meng and sat down, and then asked the kitchen to bring two skewers of mutton skewers to Wang Meng and his group. Don't think that the boss is stingy for only giving two skewers. The mutton skewers in Xinjiang Province are different from other places.
There is a kilogram of meat on one skewer.
After Wang Meng sat down, he still scolded the two people angrily. The owner of the roast sheep shop was smiling beside him and giving good advice. Ye Feng was also there to persuade Wang Meng, and at the same time thanked the boss for freeing the order and giving away meat skewers.
After the two of them were full, they went to a nearby park to hang out and eat. Different from the parks in the western region and the eastern region, there were no aunts doing square dances here. There were street stalls or people playing chess and cards everywhere. There were also people selling snacks, fruits, and vegetables.
, there are also those selling toys, daily necessities, and even furniture and small household appliances. In short, there is a dazzling array of things to see, and there is a prosperous scene everywhere.
Wang Meng said with emotion: "In the past, except for a few well-known cities in Xinjiang Province, there were few people everywhere. Shops and goods were also very scarce, and there were not so many types of goods to choose from now. The country is developing the western region
, a large influx of people also brought a large amount of goods. The economy also prospered, and everyone’s life was much better than before.”
Ye Feng sighed: "Yes! Only when the motherland is strong and the country is prosperous can the people live a good life. Those countries that use democracy to fool the people do not think about increasing productivity to improve people's living standards. They only know how to exploit the people through finance. This kind of
This hypocrite country has so many countries claiming to follow it before."
"Margus's philosophy has made it very clear that the basis of a socialist society is great material abundance. In fact, our country has been firmly following this path and firmly developing production to realize socialism. Only then can absolute equality be achieved
, that’s called true democracy.”
Wang Meng asked: "Will there really be such a day?"
Ye Feng replied with a smile: "Isn't our country realizing this dream step by step! Now that the international issues that hindered our development have been solved, I think we will develop even more rapidly in the future, and we may be able to realize it in another twenty years.
socialism."
"But it is still ironic to say that the country in the world that advertises democracy the most is actually the biggest obstacle to democracy. Now it is defeated by our true democratic country." Ye Feng said with a smile.
