Chapter 19 Under the Town God's Temple

Sure enough, countless unfamiliar information suddenly poured into his mind, and what he received by accident made him dumbfounded. It turned out to be the "technology" of drinking!

He was still wondering if he had inherited the wine glass from the original owner. The rich man had never imagined that the knowledge and skills of drinking were so great. There were drinking rituals and wine fights.

When he "learned" these things, Jia Hao couldn't help but tremble all over, as if he was suddenly possessed by an alcoholic, and the alcoholic's alcoholism was naturally passed on to him.

Those memories related to drinking from a rhinoceros horn wine glass seem to be innate and innate.

In fact, Jiahao is not particular about drinking at all. He doesn't know how to drink at all. In the past, when he had dinner with friends or classmates, he would drink a little beer at most. Every time he drank a little more, he would get hot all over and even vomit.

However, now, he has transformed into a "god of wine". He can probably drink several kilograms of liquor in one sex, but he doesn't know if his body, which has not been tempered by alcohol, can hold on.

But no matter what, it's not a bad thing to learn to drink. When you get together with others in the future, you won't be afraid of others getting drunk or making fun of you. Most men these days can drink a few sips of wine.

"Brother Yao——"

When Jiahao was in a daze, he suddenly heard Lin Haitao's greeting ringing in his ears.

"Hey!" Jiahao reacted immediately, then turned around and looked around.

"Brother Yao, let me tell you something. I have a friend, a very good friend. He is nearby. He just called me and said he wanted to come over and have a chat with me. How about taking him with me?

?”

"Yes, of course!" Jiahao nodded without hesitation, "Call him over, he is your friend, that is, my friend, I will treat you with him!"

"Haha, okay, I'll pick him up." Lin Haitao said happily, "Brother Yao, Brother Dou, you guys wait here, I'll be back soon."

"Well, you go ahead, we'll wait." The boss, Dou Qingling, responded.

Then Lin Haitao ran over to say goodbye, and as soon as he walked away, Jiahao squatted down.

"Young man, do you want to buy something?" the stall owner asked.

It was a middle-aged man wearing a red vest. In fact, he had been sizing up Jiahao for a long time. Seeing him staring at his stall, he felt happy, guessing that he had taken a fancy to something and a customer would stop by.

There is a chance to do business.

"Oh, let me take a look first." Jiahao said with a slight smile.

"Then you can take a look at it." The man said politely, "These things are all collected by me. Some of them have been collected for almost 20 years. If money were not tight, I would not be willing to sell them on a stall. You see,

There are coins and small pieces of porcelain, but they are all very old. If you like them, I will give them to you at a discount."

"Yeah, not bad." Jiahao nodded solemnly. His eyes searched the stall for a while, except for the rhino horn cup that was not taken out.

"Hey~~" After reading it, Jiahao sighed deliberately.

"Young man, what's wrong? Don't you like anything? Don't you think these things are in your eyes?" Seeing that Jiahao's reaction was a little cold, the man became a little anxious and said, "Take a good look at this thing.

No matter what, there are a few things you like better."

Jiahao shook his head and said with a smile: "Things are all good, but I don't really like playing with them. Boss, are there any others?"

He was making innuendoes, because what he was looking at was not the things on the stall, but the rhino horn wine glass with extraordinary origins hidden in the bag.

Although he knew nothing about the value of the wine vessel carved from old rhinoceros horn, he estimated that it had some knowledge. After all, rhino was not an ordinary bison. It was as rare and precious as wild elephants. Taking horns from rhinoceros heads was as important as removing horns from rhinoceros heads.

It's not easy to pull ivory out of an elephant's mouth. Ivory products are so famous, so rhino horns should be almost precious.

"Oh, I'm sorry, there's nothing else extra." The man replied.

Jiahao was slightly surprised, thinking that there were obviously things in your bag that you didn't put out, so why did you say there were none?

He didn't know why the other party hid it from him. Maybe the thing was the other person's beloved thing and he wasn't willing to transfer it, or maybe the thing had already been settled and the treasure already had an owner.

"It's really gone?" Jiahao asked back, and sighed: "That would be a pity. Oh, by the way, there are no other good things in your bag?"

He casually pointed at the snakeskin bag containing the rhinoceros carving. If the other party didn't take the initiative to "explain" it, he had to take the initiative. Since he came across a potentially good thing, he had to find a way to get it, otherwise he would have trouble sleeping.

"Well...it's actually nothing, just a few small things." The man looked hesitant and said hesitantly.

"Oh, what is it? Tell me, maybe there is something I like." Jiahao asked curiously.

"Just a few ivory carvings." The man came over and whispered in He Qing's ear, "Young man, do you want something like this?"

He was mysterious, as if he was afraid that people passing by would overhear him.

"Ivory sculpture?" Jiahao also said softly, "Can you show it to me?"

"Okay, you can take a look." The man later picked up the bag, opened it and showed it to Jiahao, without taking it out to display. Maybe he had some scruples. The sale of ivory and other items should be controlled by the relevant state departments.

Bar.

Looking into the bag, Jiahao saw some fragmentary white sculptures. They were ivory sculptures, but they were all small pieces. There were no large ivory sculptures with good carvings, so Jiahao was not interested.

What interested him was a sculpture that was suddenly there. It was tapered at one end and open at the other. It was dark, but the surface was decorated with exquisite patterns, which were lumps and undulations, like grapes.

Pattern.

"Hey, isn't there something more beautiful?" Jiahao pointed directly at the rhinoceros horn and said.

"Oh, that won't work!" Unexpectedly, the boss shook his head quickly and said, "Young man, I'm sorry, someone has already ordered that item. He will come to pick it up soon."

"No way?" Jiahao said in surprise, secretly thinking that it was such an unfortunate coincidence that someone really planned it.

However, he did not give up, but said with a straight face: "Boss, if someone else talks to you, it doesn't mean that the thing belongs to others. Isn't it the same with whoever you do business with? Tell me, you and I will talk about that thing.

How much did that person talk about?"

"The thing is, it's a good thing, it's a buffalo horned eagle." The boss replied solemnly, "We talked about it for 12,000 yuan, and we just concluded the negotiation not long ago."

"Bison horns?" Jiahao muttered secretly, saying that this was no ordinary bison, but a rhinoceros. There should be a big difference between rhino and bison.

Maybe this is really a leak!

After realizing this, Jiahao immediately cheered up and said: "Boss, that person offered you 12,000, how about I give you 13,000? Let you earn one thousand more."

"Hey, this is not okay." The boss shook his head quickly and said firmly, "This is against the rules! If I sell it to you, wouldn't it be a breach of trust? In the antique business, integrity is the most important thing.

.”

But Jiahao said: "I am a layman and don't understand this. Boss, I hope you will think about it carefully. The price can be increased. If you are willing to sell, the price is not a problem!"

"This..." Hearing Jiahao speak so generously, the man's expression was obviously shaken, and his attitude was far less firm than before.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said: "I can sell it to you, but the price cannot be less than 20,000, otherwise I will not be able to explain it."

"Who are you going to explain to?" Jiahao said with a bitter smile, "Twenty thousand is too high, the most is fifteen thousand, I'll give you three thousand more, you should be satisfied, right? Besides, I only have so much money with me.

, I really can’t afford it.”

"Fifteen thousand?" The man's eyes flickered. He looked very excited and waved his hands repeatedly, "Let me think about it, I have to think about it!"

After a while, he raised his head, gritted his teeth, nodded vigorously and said: "Fifteen thousand, just fifteen thousand! Then pay the money quickly and don't get hit by that person, otherwise I will really be a bad person."

!”

After negotiating with the boss, Jiahao took out the money from his bag to settle the bill. He had prepared more than 10,000 yuan in cash. For an antique dealer like him who often goes shopping for treasures, it would be convenient if he didn't bring some cash.

.

After the money was paid, the boss packed up the rhino horn wine glass and gave it to Jiahao.

At this point, Jiahao successfully got what he wanted.

Later, Jiahao left the stall with his boss and others. After getting the items, the next thing Jiahao had to do was to find someone to appraise them and then price them. Although he was not sure whether the items were valuable, he was sure.

You won't lose money. These are authentic rhino horns, not so-called bison horns. You can buy rhino horns for 15,000 bison horns, and they are still exquisite carvings. It would be strange if you don't make money.

"Jiahao, why did you buy this thing without thinking about it?" After walking away, the boss asked in a low voice, with some doubts in his eyes.

Jiahao said with a smile: "I like this thing better, so I bought it without much thought. Boss, do you think this thing is worth the money?"

The boss shook his head gently and replied: "I don't know very well. But you are indeed a bit hasty. Don't you think the boss is lying? I'm afraid he is making up stories to deceive you? He said that he has already discussed this matter with others.

Okay, that person has withdrawn money, and you will come to do a transaction with him right away. Don’t you think it’s a bit fake? There are too many stories made up in this industry, and I generally don’t believe all kinds of excuses. So I think you really like this

If you want something, you can actually negotiate with him for a price, based on the twelve thousand he said at the beginning."
