Chapter 475
"This price." The man reached out and quoted a price.
For this kind of antiques, Wang Yao is not good at it, but he also feels that the price is a little high.
"Too high."
As for how to bargain, Wang Yao is obviously a layman, so Chen Ying, who is the host, took over decisively. Her bargaining level is definitely not comparable to that of Wang Yao. A book that originally cost 100,000 yuan was abruptly cut down to less than 20,000 yuan, and then she took it.
"Hey!" The man sighed, the price is a bit low.
But deep down in his heart, he was still happy. This book had been in his possession for more than a year, and no one bought it. Today it can be regarded as sold, and the price is still within his acceptable range.
"Sir, what kind of book is this?" Chen Ying asked curiously.
"A Taoist scripture." Wang Yao said, "It is a classic respected by the Shangqing sect."
"Taoist scriptures?"
"Yes, although it is a Taoist scripture, there are many things in it that are related to Chinese medicine."
"Oh." Chen Ying secretly wrote down the name of the book.
"By the way, you can also read Taoist scriptures in normal times, which will have a certain effect on the improvement of your martial arts." Wang Yao said.
This is not the first time he has said this to Chen Ying.
"I'm already trying." Chen Ying said.
Inspired by Wang Yao, and seeing Su Xiaoxue's situation, she actually read some Taoist scriptures in her daily life, not to mention other effects, but it played a role in calming her emotions, and she felt that she was "quiet" Many, such a peaceful form does have a very great effect on practice.
"Go, continue reading." Wang Yao put away the ancient book and said.
"it is good."
While they were shopping, two visitors came from outside the courtyard.
One is old, old man, but hale and hearty, that is Mr. Chen, and the other is a middle-aged man, who looks gentle and elegant.
"it's here?"
"yes.
"
They went up and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
"no one?"
"It's usually here. Shall I call and ask?"
The old man called Chen Ying.
"Hi, Mr. Chen, yes, my husband and I are outside, um, ok, I'll ask him to go back to you."
"Sir, someone wants to see you."
"Who is it?" Wang Yao was looking at a wood carving with great interest.
This wood carving is not a Bodhisattva, not a Buddha, but a statue of the King of Medicine. The carving is very fine and realistic.
"Well, he didn't say that, so he shouldn't be an ordinary person." Chen Yingdao, if it was an ordinary person, he would not be able to find him at all, as long as he was either rich or expensive.
"Then just wait." Wang Yao said with a smile.
"Okay." Chen Ying called back.
"He's busy outside, you see?" Old Chen said to the man beside him.
"Then wait here."
"It's so cold?"
"It's okay, I remember there is a teahouse over there, right?"
"There is."
"Going for a cup of tea?"
"it is good."
The two went to the teahouse next to them.
"How much is this wood carving?" Wang Yao picked up the wood carving and asked the people in the shop.
"Hey, you really have a good eye. This is an old item from Huanghuali. Since you like it, I will be destined for you. The price is 350,000 yuan."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand?"
He could tell that the material of this wood carving was indeed huanghuali, because huanghuali itself is a kind of Chinese medicinal material, but the price is really beyond his imagination, after all, the object is not very big.
"too expensive."
"It's not expensive anymore. Objects from the Qing Dynasty are still made of this material."
Seeing this, Chen Ying whispered a few words to Wang Yao.
"it is good."
"Call your boss out."
"Huh?" The clerk in this shop was taken aback.
"I know your boss."
"Okay, you two wait a moment." He entered the back room, and after a while, a middle-aged man in his forties came out, wearing a Tang suit, holding a small purple clay pot in his hand.
"Hello, Boss Tan."
"Hey, it's you. Come on, please come inside." The middle-aged man saw that it was Chen Ying, and immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Don't worry, this gentleman has taken a fancy to an object, do you think?"
The boss Tan looked at the statue of the medicine king.
"So, how about 180,000?"
"Sir?" Chen Ying looked at Wang Yao.
"Okay, I want it." Wang Yao said with a smile.
After paying the bill, they came to the back room of the shop. A considerable part of the furnishings here were old objects, and it could be seen that Boss Tan had an unusual preference for wooden things.
"Come, please drink tea." The middle-aged man made them a cup of tea himself.
"Boss Tan's business is doing well recently, right?"
"Hey, earn a living."
In fact, the cultural relics and antiques industry is hugely profitable. The so-called three years without opening, and three years after opening, are talking about them.
This boss Tan has been in this business for more than ten years. Don't underestimate this small antique shop. The profit is quite astonishing, even comparable to a factory with hundreds of employees.
"Who is this?" Boss Tan looked at Wang Yao and asked with a smile.
He is a shrewd man in business, and he has a good sense of words and demeanor. He can see Chen Ying's respect for this young man. He knows the identity of Chen Ying. In this way, it is not difficult to guess that this young man In all likelihood, it is the young master of some family, this is the gold master.
"This is Mr. Wang." Chen Ying said.
"Hello."
king? Hiss, for a while, this Boss Tan thought a lot.
"Sir, this Boss Tan is very famous in Antique Street. You can ask him what you want, maybe he can get it."
"What does this Mr. Wang want?"
"Needle."
"Needle?!" Boss Tan was taken aback, "What needle?"
"Needles used in Chinese acupuncture."
"This?" He didn't expect this young master to want such a rare item, not to mention, he really didn't have one here, and he hadn't seen this item in these years. Because usually no one would buy this kind of thing at all.
"I haven't really heard of it." He said truthfully. This thing itself is not worth a lot of money, and no one wants it, so there are naturally fewer people who want to waste it.
"Then please ask Boss Tan to find out, where is it?"
"Okay, no problem." He said immediately after hearing this.
"thanks."
"You're welcome."
After drinking a cup of tea, Wang Yao said goodbye and left.
"Boss, who is this?" the shop assistant asked.
You know, if he could sell the wood carving just now, the commission would be more than 1,000 yuan. Not to mention the boss's price, his commission is gone, so they probably won't make any money in the store.
"My lord!" said the middle-aged man.
"Work hard and get a bonus this month."
"Ah, long live the boss."
"Okay, don't be so imaginary, sell me more things."
"I will work hard."
The boss went back to the back room.
"Needles, they are really rare!"
After wandering around for more than half an hour, they just returned.
Not long after opening the door, I saw Mr. Chen bringing a middle-aged man over.
"Hello, little friend."
"Hi, Chen Lai, please come inside." He let the two of them into the room, and Chen Ying made a pot of black tea for them.
Wu Yi Yan tea,
"Let me introduce, this is Wu Tongxing." Mr. Chen introduced the visitor.
"He wants to ask you to see a doctor for his family."
"What's wrong?"
"Eye disease."
"Eye disease?"
This is the first time Wang Yao has come into contact with patients with eye diseases.
"Are there any cases?"
"I brought it, take a look."
The old man's sick eyes were tearful, dry and sore, and his vision was blurred.
After reading it carefully, Wang Yao has a general understanding of the patient's condition in his heart.
"Doctor Wang, what do you see?"
"Let him come over and let me see."
"Uh, it's like this. My father's health is not very good, and he dare not see the wind. Can you see if he can go to the doctor?" The middle-aged man said.
"Let me see the situation."
"Okay, this is my business card." The man handed over a business card, very simple, a name, a phone number,
"excuse me."
"I'll see you off." Chen Ying said.
"Who is it?" Wang Yao asked after Chen Ying came back.
"The Wu family can be regarded as a big family in Sijiu City. His father retired from the army." Chen Ying said.
"En." Coming to this capital, it seems that dealing with these people is a must.
"What is the relationship between that old Chen and the other party?"
"Old Chen's wife is also surnamed Wu."
