    Because the shovels all liked to sell things to Meng Yixian, his business became more and more prosperous. By the early 1990s, he had opened a shop, and he no longer had to deal with the ups and downs like other hawkers.  One day, Meng Yi went to the market to see if there was anything that suited his taste.  Just when he turned around and found nothing he liked, and was about to return disappointed, he happened to see a stall owner in the corner taking out a relatively exquisite Su Zhong from his box.  I was immediately interested.  Meng Yixian hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Xiao Feng, can you show me this Su Zhong?" That stall owner was the person who sold Meng Yixian's purple clay pot today. He went there late that day, so he didn't  Occupying a good position, he saw that Meng Yi had taken a liking to Su Zhong who had just come out, and he quickly handed it over with a smile.  Su Zhong is also known as the "screen clock", so named because its appearance is similar to the screen clock in ancient my country.  After the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was manufactured in Suzhou, Huaiyang, Shanghai and other areas along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In order to distinguish it from imported foreign clocks, the Chinese also called it "Ben clock".  This clock is made of mahogany as the frame, and has a chiseled bronze and gilded flower pattern clock face. It chimes the time pleasantly. The clock is in good condition, with exquisite appearance, fine workmanship and excellent craftsmanship.  Comes with a double-layer movable base.  After Meng Yi looked at it carefully first, he was sure that it was a good thing.  "How much is it?" When he met something he liked, Meng Yixian immediately asked the price.  "One hundred and fifty!" Because they were all old businesses, the stall owner gave the price he thought in his heart.  At that time, it was still the mid-1990s, and there were not many items priced at 150 yuan at ordinary stalls. The reason for setting this price was that the stall owner also wanted to take advantage of Meng Yixian.  Meng Yi first thought about it secretly. Considering the appearance of this Su Zhong at that time, it was still very easy to sell for seven or eight hundred. If he met the right person, he could sell it for one thousand.  Therefore, the price of one hundred and fifty was really not expensive, so he immediately agreed and paid the bill directly.  In the antique market, of course, Meng Yixian is not the only one to pay attention to a good thing. When Meng Yixian observed the Su clock.  Some sharp-eyed antique dealers had gathered around him out of curiosity. Some of them, who specialized in the watch business, felt a little thumped when they saw that such an item had been missed.  When Meng Yi paid first, the antique dealer was envious.  They were jealous and came forward to ask if they had any intention of taking action.  Meng Yi refused one by one at first, and then he took the things out happily, but one of the antique dealers did not give up. He followed Meng Yi first and still insisted on buying.  This antique dealer.  He is also a regular customer of Meng Yixian's shop. In addition to doing business, he sometimes comes to his shop to drink tea and chat.  Therefore, although Meng Yixian felt impatient, he could not do too much.  "Shopkeeper Meng, you also know that I like this kind of thing the most, so just give it to me! Don't worry, we can negotiate the price!" Meng Yi was annoyed by his pestering first.  I thought to myself, it¡¯s not who I¡¯m selling to anyway. If the price is right, I¡¯ll sell it to him: ¡°I can sell it to you, but it¡¯s at least 700!¡± ¡°Hey, Shopkeeper Meng, we are also old friends. You¡¯re welcome.  It¡¯s an extra five hundred and fifty when it changes hands. It¡¯s a lot of money! You see, it¡¯s not easy for me. Just give it a little more!¡± Meng Yi shook his head first and said, ¡°No, if this thing sells well, you can sell it for one.¡±  Thousand. I gave you seven hundred for the sake of our long-term friendship." "Shopkeeper Meng, please be less, I think three hundred is enough" After that, the antique dealer got entangled for a while, but Meng Yixian didn't.  Holding on to the price, the two finally took a step back, with Meng Yi giving him fifty first.  As soon as it changed hands, he made five hundred in less than fifteen minutes. Meng Yixian felt quite proud and happy. At the same time, he was also very grateful to the stall owner.  The next day, it happened to be the ghost market. When Meng Yi went to Taobao, he happened to meet the stall owner again, so with gratitude, he spent 300 yuan on the stall to buy a pen holder from the mid-Qing Dynasty.  .  It was dark at the time, and there were friends around him. With an attitude of trust in the stall owner, he took the things back without looking too much.  Back to his shop, when Meng Yi first checked the pen holder, he discovered that it was actually a fake and worthless!  This immediately made him angry.  oh!  I made five hundred yuan from you, and I bought something worth three hundred yuan from you with good intentions, and you actually fooled me with a fake?  What do you think I am?  So, a few days later, when Meng Yi first met the stall owner again, he wanted to find out from him. He had no intention of returning the product at that time, but just wanted to tell the stall owner that I was not a stick!  However, Meng Yi leaves firstWhen the stall owner approached, the stall owner said in a strange tone: "I heard that you made a lot of money on that Su Zhong, sold it for a thousand?" Meng Yi heard what the stall owner said first, and immediately  Knowing what was going on, he hated the antique dealer for talking nonsense, but he was also angry that the stall owner, who had been friends with him for so many years, didn't believe him and even treated him like a hammer because of it.  So, he said unceremoniously: "Just listen to their nonsense! That thing was sold to the guy named Quan, and it was only sold for 650. When I turned around, I spent 300 to buy a pen holder from your stall.  , it turned out to be a fake!¡± Hearing what Meng Yi said first, the stall owner was also stunned.  Because of this incident, there was no longer any trust between the two of them. From then on, Meng Yixian basically never bought anything from that stall. Of course, he also never did any business with that nonsense antique dealer.  Meng Yi smiled bitterly and said: "I do have some responsibility for this matter. However, before this matter, I did business with that guy many times. The money he earned from me was not only ten thousand, but also several thousand."  I didn¡¯t expect that just because of some unreliable rumors, I would not even care about our friendship!¡± After hearing the cause and effect of the matter, Chu Chen secretly shook his head, saying that what Meng Yixian did was indeed wrong. Generally speaking, in the antique market, he encountered  It is best not to resell the items immediately. If they are resold, the seller is likely to hear about it, or even hear rumors that it has been transformed. He will feel unhappy, and it will be difficult to buy his items in the future.  .  But what Meng Yixian said about the stall owner is a bit too much. After all, the two of them have been dealing with each other for several years, and Meng Yixian is quite cheerful. If there is anything, just make it clear in person or give a hint.  Well, why would you deliberately sell him a fake?  This is really unkind.  Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, you like to be straightforward in doing things. A person with such a small belly will definitely take advantage of your personality. I think the price of the things he usually sells to you is probably not low. So.  I think this matter is not a good thing for you. " Meng Yi thought about it and found that it was really the case. The things that the man sold to him in the past were almost always more expensive than those sold to him by other shovels.  But because the stuff was for money, he didn't think much about it. Looking back now, the guy never regarded him as a friend. No wonder he turned against him over a few hundred dollars.  "I won't talk about this anymore. Lao Zhu, when you come here this time, you will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, right?" "Can't I come over to see you?" Zhu Dafu said with a smile.  Meng Yi waved his hand first and said: "Come on, when you came to Jinling in January, I called you and wanted to treat you to dinner, but you didn't even agree!" Zhu Dafu spread his hands: "It was the real person in my store at that time  If you have something to do, why don't I treat you to dinner today? That's all right!" Meng Yi curled his lips first and said, "It's hard for you to come to Jinling. I won't act like a landlord and let others listen to my hospitality.  Don¡¯t call me a bastard! You must let me pay for your meal in Jinling. If you say that again, be careful that I get angry with you!¡±  He shook his head and then said: "But to be honest, I came to you today because I really have something to trouble you with!" "Look, here you go!" Meng Yi smiled and nodded to Zhu Dafu several times before asking  He said: "What is it? If I can help, I will definitely help!" "That's what happened" Zhu Dafu said the matter simply.  After hearing what Zhu Dafu said, Meng Yi first expressed great envy: "Hey, I also want to go to the old gentleman's place to pay his birthday, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity!" Zhu Dafu said: "I really can't help you with this matter, otherwise  Well, I'll mention it to the old gentleman's son tomorrow. As for what the other party says, it just depends on your luck. " "Thank you! Thank you!" Meng Yixian expressed his gratitude to Zhu Dafu with a face full of joy.  Zhu Dafu waved his hand and said: "Okay, this is something I can do easily. If you really want to thank you, help us find a suitable gift as soon as possible!" "Okay! I will try my best!" At this point, Meng Yi first  He asked, "Mr. Qiao, how much price do you want to prepare?" "Twenty to three hundred thousand, preferably something special." Qiao Qingtai said.  Meng Yi pondered for a while, and then said: "That's it! I really don't have any real things of similar price. However, I have two other things that I am a bit unsure about. If they can be confirmed to be genuine, should I use them as gifts?  It's quite appropriate." Zhu Dafu joked after hearing this: "Good boy, you are letting us be free palm masters!"  Meng Yi laughed and said: "I can also give you three a red envelope then!" Zhu Dafu smiled and waved his hand: "Come on, can I really get your red envelope? If you really want to  , I¡¯ll just give Lao Qiao a discount later!¡± ¡°Okay, it¡¯s just a matter of words¡± After saying that, Meng Yi went to the back room to get something. After a while, he brought two brocade boxes from inside.  Walked out.  The brocade boxes are one big and one small. The small one is about the size of a volleyball, while the big one is a calligraphy and painting box PS: Thanks to two book friends "Yi Ye Po Feng" and "qingha2000" for their monthly votes.
