Chapter 3

The cheapest and most convenient means of transportation from the county to the provincial capital is the train. There are about four trains to the provincial capital every day, and the ticket price is only 11 yuan. If you take a bus, the ticket price is more than 20 yuan.

There is no money in the middle of the week. It is uncertain whether the hairpin can be sold for 200000 yuan, so naturally choose the cheapest green leather hard seat train.

When I was at the railway station, Zhou Zhong called my family and told my parents to rush to the construction site these days. I stayed at the construction site and went back in two days. My parents didn't think much about it. They just told me to pay attention to safety in the middle of the week and not to save three meals a day.

The warm in the weekly center is just the simplest advice, but it contains too many parents' concern for themselves.

In the crowd, Zhou Zhong's thin figure, with a body of scars, crowded onto the train to the provincial capital. Because Zhou Zhong was injured, and fell into the foundation pit full of mud, clothes are very buried, many people are disgusted, looked at him, and then one after another, as if to avoid the plague. Zhou Zhong smiles and stops at the gap between the two carriages of the train. He also tries not to let the dirt on his body dirty other people's clothes.

It's almost 1:00 p.m. when Zhouzhong arrives at the provincial capital. Zhouzhong has been studying here for three years, and he is quite familiar with the provincial capital. He takes a bus to the antique street. Of course, on the bus, you can't help but suffer from people's white eyes.

Jiangling, the provincial capital, is a famous historical city in China. It was a big city at that time as early as the Warring States period. Over the past two thousand years, no matter in which dynasty, Jiangling city has a pivotal position, so such a city with a long history, the antique industry is naturally very developed.

The antique street in Jiangling city is famous all over the country. It is said that it is a street. But because of the rapid development in recent years, it has become an entire antique business district.

It's the first time for Zhou Zhong to come here. As soon as he got off the bus, he was attracted by the magnificent ancient gate at the main entrance of antique street. The style of the gate is simple and simple. Unfortunately, the original site was burned down in the war of aggression decades ago. Now the gate is imitated according to the original site, but even so, the gate is still very powerful.

Zhou walked into the antique street and looked at all kinds of "antiques" around him. Then a magical scene happened.

There is no sound in my mind this time, but no matter what I see in the middle of the week, a few lines of small words will appear next to that thing.

Celadon bowl (fake):

material: poor quality kaolin.

It was made 20 days ago.

Zhou Zhong stood in front of a small stand, his eyes fell on the simple and colorful celadon bowl, and then he saw such a paragraph of font, which made him look strange for a moment.

The owner of the stall thought that Zhou Zhong had taken a fancy to the porcelain bowl, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He hadn't met a big injustice for a long time. He quickly asked with a smile: "little brother, do you take a fancy to the celadon bowl? You really have a good eye. This celadon bowl must be from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty at least. I'll tell you that the material of this celadon bowl must be from the official kiln. Look at this... "

"Ah? Don't go, little brother. I haven't said the price. What if you really want me to give you a little cheaper? "

Zhou Zhongtou didn't come back. Did you cook your bowl in Qianlong 20 days ago?

Although he met a cheater, Zhou Zhong was in a good mood. Now he has faintly believed what the electronic voice said. The hairpin may really be worth 200000 yuan! If so, then they are really developed.

Zhou Zhong walked inside for more than ten minutes, and finally saw several more formal antique shops, so he stepped in.

The shop owner saw that Zhou Zhongji was not big, and his clothes were shabby. At first sight, he was not a rich owner, so he ignored him.

Zhou Zhong didn't mind. He went directly to the counter and said to the shopkeeper, "I want to sell things."

The shopkeeper looked at Zhou Zhong in surprise and asked, "what do you want to sell?"

Zhou Zhong took out the rusty hairpin and put it on the counter with a worried look. This hairpin looks too shabby. Zhou Zhong is really worried. These guys won't blow themselves out as beggars, will they?

But when the shopkeeper saw the hairpin, his eyes were immediately attracted. He was shining in a pair of small eyes. He quickly picked up the hairpin and looked at it carefully. In the end, I didn't like it, so I took out the magnifying glass.

Zhou Zhong was watching, but he didn't understand it. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the shopkeeper was very excited. He slowly put down his hairpin and asked with a smile: "little brother, where did you get this thing?"

Zhou Zhong said calmly, "don't worry about where you made it. It's not stealing, it's not robbing. Do you accept it?"

"Oh, how can I say it? It's average. It's too common. Look at the rust on it. No one wants it." The shopkeeper began to hold it up, shaking his head in disgust, but a pair of small eyes were full of desire, staring at the hairpin.

Zhou Zhong smiles and sees that the shopkeeper's trick is not right, so he picks up the hairpin and turns to leave.

The shopkeeper was in a hurry. He cried to Zhou Zhong: "don't go, little brother. I'll give you 50000!"Zhou Zhong laughs, 50000? Although it's quite different from 200000, if he can offer 50000, it means that the hairpin is really antique! And it must be worth 200000!

"I won't sell it." Zhou said lightly.

The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed, and he threatened: "boy, are you kidding me? Now that the things are out, do you want to go like this? "

In the middle of the week, he frowned and asked, "do you want to buy or sell

The shopkeeper's face was gloomy and said with a sneer, "you don't ask who I am. What's the end of offending me in this street?"

In the middle of the week, he didn't believe in evil all the time. It's a matter for both sides to sell and buy. Now that he doesn't sell him, can he still force him to buy?

So he laughed and turned to leave.

The shopkeeper was angry. The hairpin was at least a product of the Qin Dynasty. Although it was not well preserved, it would be OK to sell it for two or three hundred thousand. If you meet a buyer who likes it, it might be even higher!

He thought that a child who was born in a country could give him 50000 yuan to give him a happy answer. However, he didn't expect that Zhou Zhong went away and the fat on his lips flew. He couldn't be reconciled. For a moment, two chilly murders flashed through his eyes.

Zhou came out of this antique shop and asked two nearby shops. The owners of these antique shops are very thieves. The prices given to Zhou Zhong are all within 100000 yuan. This makes Zhou Zhong less confident. Does it mean that the price given by the treasure finder is wrong? But it is also possible. After all, it is an instrument, and this is the real market price. Should there be deviation?

At this time, Zhou Zhong came to a relatively simple antique shop. This antique shop is small in area, and there are few people. Inside, an old man is sleepy.

Zhou Zhong stepped in and asked, "boss, do you want to take this thing?"

The old man woke up and took a look at Zhou Zhong in front of him. Then his eyes were immediately attracted by the hairpin in his hand.

Without saying a word, the old man took the hairpin and studied it. After half a ring, he directly said to Zhou Zhong: "150000, I dare say it is the most fair price in a street."

Zhou Zhong nodded secretly. The old man's price was indeed the highest. However, Zhou Zhong was still a little dissatisfied and said, "200000."

The old man shook his head and said, "young man, you know what you're doing, but I'll sell it for 2120000 yuan. If the market is not good, I may not be able to sell it for 200000 yuan, so I'll give you 150000 yuan. Can't I work for nothing without making money?"

Zhou Zhong thought that the old man had a point. He thought about it and said, "180000, even if your market is not good, you can earn 20000. Do you want it?"

The old man thought about it and nodded, "OK, give me the account and I'll give you the money."

In the middle of the week, the mood suddenly excited, 180000! I even have 180000!

However, there is no bank account in the middle of the week, and for a moment: "boss, can I give you cash?"

"Cash? All right The old man nodded in embarrassment, and then walked into the room inside the shop. After about five or six minutes, he came out with a black cloth bag and handed it to Zhou Zhong: "you can check it."

In the middle of the week, I took a look at the money in the bag. There were six bundles of money, each of which was 20000. The children of the poor are in charge of the family early. For the Zhou family, a hundred yuan is a big number. It is true or false. They have been practising for a long time. In the middle of the week, they randomly took out several pieces to check and found that there was nothing wrong with the money. So they left the hairpin to the old man and turned around and left.

Before leaving, the old man said to Zhou Zhong, "young man, if you have any good things, take them. The old man's price is absolutely the most reasonable."

Zhou hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "this is what I got by accident. How can I be so lucky to meet again?"

With that, he left in the middle of the week.

The old man laughed and muttered, "the boy is very cautious, not bad."

Zhou Zhong was very excited with a cloth bag containing 180000 yuan in his hand, but he pretended to be indifferent and walked out of the street for fear that others would see the flaw. At the same time, he thought that with the 180000 yuan, he could pay back the 30000 yuan he had signed, and the remaining money would be enough for the family to improve their lives.

My parents have worked hard for themselves for most of their lives. In the future, we should let them enjoy happiness at home. We can't let them suffer for themselves any more.

Zhou Zhong thought while walking outside, but did not notice that, not far behind him, two young men with sly features had been quietly following him.
