Chapter 455: Water-Dotted Plum Blossoms
Du Fei saw the police coming and stepped aside to make way for them.
The two police squeezed in and soon brought out a droopy-headed man who looked like a deflated ball.
Du Fei looked at them strangely and had no idea what was going on.
The two police called a cart driver and stuffed the man into the cart. The two police went back to the police station, one on each side.
Seeing that the excitement was over, the people here began to disperse.
Some of those watching the excitement were shopping, and there were also scalpers and vendors at the door.
As the people dispersed, the area at the door immediately became spacious.
Du Fei was about to go inside, but Yang Weiguo saw him first, and hurriedly came up to him, smiling and saying, "Hey~ Leader Du, you are free today!"
Du Fei smiled and said, "I've told you so many times, call me Brother Du."
Yang Weiguo said, "Hey," and quickly changed his words to say, "Brother Du, you came just in time today!"
Du Fei said, "Are there any good products?"
Yang Weiguo made a look, called Du Fei to a place where no one was nearby, and whispered, "Brother Du, two refrigerators came to our store a few days ago! One was taken away by Director Zhang of the Grain Bureau, and now there is one left. Do you want to take a look?"
Du Fei was also tempted when he heard it.
Now that summer is coming, if there is a refrigerator, it can really solve big problems.
But this idea was just a flash of thought, and he was dispelled.
Buying a refrigerator now is simply like a birthday star eating arsenic and getting tired of living!
A person who is out of touch with the masses and has a corrupt and degenerate lifestyle is enough for him to drink a pot.
What's more, he has a portable space. During the coldest days of the Chinese New Year, he froze more than a dozen large ice cubes. In summer, he took them out to cool down.
Du Fei shook his head and said, "This is too eye-catching. I can't afford it. Is there anything else?"
Yang Weiguo smiled and was not too surprised.
In fact, everyone wants a refrigerator, and the price is not outrageous.
But if you don't reach a certain level, you dare not move this big guy home.
Yang Weiguo is also smart. The reason why he mentioned the refrigerator at the beginning of the board is actually a kind of rhetoric.
Let Du Fei know that he has been paying attention and has good things for Du Fei.
Then he said, "Brother Du, since you don't like the refrigerator, I have some other good things here, please follow me."
As he said that, he took Du Fei to the second floor.
On Sunday afternoon, there were many people on the second floor.
Yang Weiguo turned around and came to an office next to it.
When he opened the door, there was an old man in his fifties inside.
As soon as Yang Weiguo opened the door, he smiled and nodded to the old man, "Uncle Liu, thank you~"
The old man saw Du Fei behind him, and smiled and understood, "Okay, I'll make room for you."
Yang Weiguo hurriedly thanked him and let Du Fei go into the house, "Brother Du, please wait here, I'll serve you a cup of tea first, and then get you something right away."
As he was about to get the teacup, Du Fei waved his hand and said, "I just finished eating, I don't need your saliva, hurry up and do the business."
Yang Weiguo said, "Okay~ I'll go right away!" and then went out in a flash.
Du Fei sat in the house, thinking about what Yang Weiguo could bring.
Not long after, Yang Weiguo came back with a big box in his hand, which looked heavy.
Du Fei stood up and watched him put the box on the table.
The wooden box was a bit old, with patina on the surface of the wood and copper sheets wrapped around the four corners, looking very delicate.
In front of Du Fei, Yang Weiguo did not dare to keep him in suspense, and pulled the nose of the lock to open the lid of the box.
"Brother Du, take a look at this!" After saying that, he reached out from the top of the box and took out a black velvet cloak, shook it open, and revealed the leather lining.
Du Fei looked at it and was immediately surprised.
Then Yang Weiguo offered a treasure and said, "Brother Du, take a look, this leather is very rich!"
While showing the leather lining to Du Fei carefully, he boasted, "Brother Du, you are very knowledgeable, you should be able to see it~ This is Qilin skin! The seller said privately that this cloak was his ancestor, who secretly took it out of the palace back then..."
Du Fei reached out and touched the leather of the cloak.
It was very well tanned, very soft and smooth, but to be honest, it was still a little worse than the tiger skin mattress that Zhao Yutian gave him.
There were irregular but well-arranged block patterns on it.
As for the Qilin skin, that was pure nonsense.
Du Fei recognized at a glance that the pattern on the leather was that of a giraffe.
But it is not wrong to insist that it is a unicorn.
In the Ming Dynasty, when Zheng He sailed to the West.
The huge fleet collected many rare animals in West Asia and Africa and transported them back to China.
Among them, the three auspicious signs are "unicorn", "sky horse" and "divine deer". The unicorn refers to the giraffe, which symbolizes peace and tranquility.
By now, giraffes are no longer rare. There are several living ones in the Beijing Zoo.
However, it is indeed rare to make a cloak with giraffe skin.
It can be seen that the workmanship of this cloak is very exquisite.
It is almost symmetrical on the left and right, and the pattern is the most beautiful on the back.
Although Du Fei can't tell whether it is made by the royal family, he probably can't get this kind of leather.
As for whether it is warm or not.
Du Fei estimated that it was just like that. After all, giraffes live in relatively hot areas, and it is unlikely to expect their fur to have much cold-proof and heat-insulating properties.
But the item is indeed rare and beautiful.
Du Fei did not ask the price, but put it aside and said, "I'll take it."
Yang Weiguo smiled, then took out another cardboard box from the box and said, "Take a look at this again~"
As he spoke, he opened the box, which was padded with newspapers and contained a white porcelain tea set.
A teapot, a tea can, and five teacups.
The body is made of crystal clear white porcelain, with plum blossom patterns painted on it.
When Du Fei saw it, his heart suddenly moved.
He quickly reached out and picked up a tea cup.
Sure enough, the bottom mark on the cup is 'Liling Guoguang Porcelain Factory, 1959'.
"The water-dotted plum blossoms of 1959!"
Du Fei blurted out.
Although he was from the north before crossing over, he went to college in the south.
I have studied some ceramics in my major and know some allusions.
Although it had only been less than ten years since 1959.
But these porcelains are of great significance.
It is a special porcelain specially made by the Liling Porcelain Factory. It is somewhat similar to the official kilns of the past and cannot be seen outside at all.
Du Fei didn't expect that Yang Weiguo could come up with such a good thing, and asked quickly, "Where did this come from?"
Yang Weiguo hurriedly explained, "Brother Du, look, one of the cups is broken and the set is no longer complete."
Du Fei noticed just now that there were only five cups.
Logically speaking, this kind of set of porcelain rarely comes with an odd number of cups.
As for this set of residual porcelain,
How did you tinker with it?
Du Fei didn't ask, and Yang Weiguo didn't mention it either.
Du Fei picked up the teapot and looked at it again. The glaze was pure white, as smooth as bone, and felt very comfortable to the touch. He asked, "How much does this set cost?"
Yang Weiguo licked his lips and said with a dry smile, "That one is a bit expensive. The seller won't let go until he dies." He stretched out his hand and said, "Fifty yuan~"
Du Fei didn't waste any words and nodded directly.
This kind of thing is definitely not cheap, not only because it is a high-quality ceramic product, but also because it is carefully selected after burning paper.
It is estimated that if you burn five or ten sets, you may not be able to get a perfect set.
The other thing is the value attached and the risks involved.
Fifty yuan is really not much.
Yang Weiguo saw that Du Fei was happy and knew that he had met something pleasant. He quickly said, "Brother Du, do you really like this?"
Du Fei raised his eyebrows, "Any more?"
Yang Weiguo rubbed his hands, "There is indeed another set with a peach blossom pattern, but it's not with me. If you really like it, I'll ask you, but... I'm afraid the price..."
Du Fei patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay. It's as much as it should be. I can't embarrass you."
Yang Weiguo nodded hurriedly, "That's alright~ I'll deliver it to you as soon as I get off work tomorrow."
Next, there are some bits and pieces of small items in the box
Du Fei liked some and didn't like them, so he bought them all.
At last count, the total was two hundred and forty yuan.
Du Fei also counted out three hundred yuan for the other set of 'water-dotted peach blossom' porcelain.
The most expensive ones include the giraffe's cloak and two tea sets, as well as three broken antique watches.
It is also Du Fey's practice to collect these severely damaged but relatively cheap antique watches.
Yang Weiguo ran back and forth to help pay and punch tickets.
Du Fei sat in the room and acted like the boss.
Here, Yang Weiguo will definitely make some money, but not too much.
The reason why Yang Weiguo was so interested in Du Fei was because he really didn't care about money.
But in the future, if something happens, I can ask Du Fei for help.
To a certain extent, it is the same thing as Yan Jiecheng guarding the door for Du Fei in the middle of the night.
I thought that I had no ability, so I could only work hard and be diligent.
People's hearts are made of flesh, once or twice is nothing, but if you do it more often, you can always accumulate favors.
In other words, there is no merit, but hard work.
Du Fei understood his thoughts and enjoyed his services with peace of mind.
When Yang Weiguo comes back, hand over the documents in good condition.
Du Fei smiled and said "thank you" and was not in a hurry to leave.
He chatted with Yang Weiguo again and asked about the situation at home and if he could help.
In fact, Du Fei understood that Yang Weiguo would definitely not beg him easily, but a few words of concern could warm the other person's heart, so why not do it.
Sure enough, Yang Weiguo was very happy.
This showed that Du Fei had positive feedback on his attentiveness.
But Du Fei also took advantage of the time and asked to leave when it was almost time.
If you talk too much, it will easily give Yang Weiguo the illusion that he is easy to talk to.
When the two of them came out of the house, Du Fei remembered the scene when he came in and asked casually, "Hey~ what happened just now? Are the police here?"
Yang Weiguo said, "Hey, don't mention it. I don't know where a lunatic came from, and he insisted on consigning things in the store. We gave an estimate of thirty, but he refused to acknowledge it.
, said it was a family heirloom, and asked us to give it a hundred yuan. "
At this point, he let out another "hum".
"Brother Du, you know that we have rules and regulations here. When things come, they should be valued first. That's how much it should be. Even if it's up or down, it should be about the same. You said it costs thirty yuan, but he insists on selling it. One hundred yuan, who can bear this!"
Du Fei continued, "If you don't accept it, it won't be over soon?"
Yang Weiguo smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah~ If you don't accept it, something will happen. As soon as the grandson doesn't accept it, he immediately jumps up and down and behaves mischievously, so how can we tolerate him!"
Du Fei also couldn't laugh or cry.
There are such messy and arrogant people all the time, and it's not uncommon.
He casually said, "After talking for a long time, what does he want to sell?"
Yang Weiguo curled his lips and said, "What good stuff can it be? It's just a copper plate. They say it's a family heirloom."
Du Fei didn't take it seriously. He said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them also went downstairs. Du Fei was about to go out, but saw several people gathered at the door.
In the middle was Wei Sanye, holding a long copper plate in his hand, wearing glasses, and looking at it carefully.
When Du Fei saw it, he guessed that this should be the copper plate that Yang Weiguo said.
Maybe he took the person away just now, but the thing was left behind.
An old man with a goatee asked, "Old Wei, what is written on it?"
Another middle-aged man also said, "Yes~ Sanye, what is written? You are the only one in our store who knows Manchu, so you should tell me quickly!"
Several people were talking loudly, and Du Fei could hear it from a distance.
When Third Master Wei looked up and was about to speak, he saw Du Fei. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh~ Leader Du, when did you come?"
Du Fei came up to him with a smile and said, "Third Master, I just came and didn't see you, so I asked Xiao Yang to take me around."
Third Master Wei smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for Degui's matter."
Du Fei said, "You are polite. Old Wei works hard, so I naturally can't treat you unfairly."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and the others were confused.
But seeing Third Master Wei's attitude, they all knew that this young man Du Fei was not ordinary.
Although Du Fei interrupted their conversation, no one complained.
Du Fei, on the other hand, saw the bronze plate and became a little curious, and asked, "Third Master, is this bronze plate left by the person just now? What's the meaning?"
In fact, there are not many words on the bronze plate.
Just now, Third Master Wei pondered for a long time, and he seemed to be trying to figure out his posture.
In the capital, there are not many people who can speak Manchu, and it is even rarer to be able to recognize and write.
Now that he has this opportunity, the old man Wei Sanye must show his importance in the unit.
But in front of Du Fei, after being humiliated many times, Wei Sanye had already laid down and said quickly, "This badge should be the waist badge in the residence of Prince Qing Yixin." He held the bronze badge in front of Du Fei and said, "This should have been copper gilded in the past. I don't know how the gold was worn off."
Du Fei took it and looked around.
This bronze badge is a bit thick, about the size of a palm, not heavy, and a bit mottled on the surface.
There is a tiger head pattern on the front and a line of Manchu characters on the back.
Du Fei couldn't see anything either, so he handed it back.
In his opinion, it was not too little to give a badge like this for thirty yuan.
At least he would never spend thirty yuan to buy such a bronze badge that was not old and had no artistic sense.
The man wanted to sell it for a hundred yuan, which was purely a blind idea.
