Chapter 64: Fat Sheep Consultant
The people who came in were none other than Wang Erxiao, Brother Long, and Wang Erxiao's consultant. The person who caused Zhang Dadao and Wu Datou's strong reaction was not a stranger either, but the fat sheep middle-aged man who was cheated by them in the Erbai Market that day! Zhang Dadao and Wu Datou were a little surprised to see this guy. Zhang Dadao was wondering if this guy who was cheated by them was really capable of being a consultant for Wang Erxiao, or was he just a swindler.
Wu Datou was even more puzzled. For a moment, he didn't understand who this person was. He was afraid that he was here to cause trouble. When he realized who it was, he immediately began to doubt whether he had been cheated and whether he had really sold something good. He began to show a very tangled expression, and carefully recalled the origin of the things that were bought.
The reactions of Zhang Dadao and Wu Datou also puzzled the people who came in. Wang Erxiao asked directly, "That's really weird. How many people do you know, Taoist priest? Isn't our teacher Liu also an old customer of yours?"
Zheng Wen seemed a little embarrassed and kept his head down without saying anything. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "So these two are also here with you, Xiao Wang? I bought something from them at the 200-square-meter store the day before yesterday."
Wang Erxiao was stunned, nodded and said: "I see, it seems that you really have something good in your hands, Taoist priest? If Teacher Liu values it, it must be a good thing." Then he said to Wang Shanshan: "Why did you come to me? Don't you always think that I am not good enough?"
Wang Shanshan curled her lips and said, "I'm tired of being nagged by my mom, so I came to your place to have some peace and quiet. Just do your own thing, don't worry about me."
Ye Hao also interrupted and said, "Yes, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll just accompany Shanshan!"
Wang Erxiao glared at Ye Hao fiercely, turned to look at the consultant and said, "Teacher Liu, please sit down first and tell me what good things you sold?" After the consultant sat down, Wang Erxiao immediately asked Consultant Liu what he had bought.
Wu Datou's face was very ugly, almost green, and he looked at Zhang Dadao with a gloomy face. Zhang Dadao curled his lips and stared at him directly, saying: "What are you looking at! I'm your father! You are asking for death by pretending that your lollipop was stolen! If it weren't for me, you would have sold the thing for a thousand yuan!"
Wu Datou sighed for a while, and Consultant Liu shook his head and said, "No need to do this, no need to do this, I didn't take advantage of you. Others really are not willing to pay so much money for that thing!"
Wang Erxiao became curious and asked with a smile, "Tell me what happened? Teacher Liu's move must be very difficult, right?"
Consultant Liu waved his hand and said, "Xiao Wang, you are joking. I really didn't find a bargain this time. It's really a high-quality imitation of Ge Kiln porcelain. It should be worth only a thousand yuan at most. I am the one who got the short end of the stick!"
Wu Datou's expression improved a little, but Zhang Dadao still had the same dead look on his face. He opened the refrigerator and unscrewed the bottles of different drinks one by one. He took out six or seven bottles before finding one that tasted good. He opened the other bottles, took a sip, spitted, and put them back in the refrigerator. The people around him were all eyelids twitching, and they cursed Zhang Dadao in their hearts.
The host, Wang Erxiao, didn't care. Instead, he reminded him, "Master, be careful. These drinks are left here and no one drinks them. Some of them might be expired."
Zhang Daquan didn't care, and said with a pout: "Master Dao has five kinds of energy in his chest that are immune to all poisons, so he is not afraid of this! Uh, this juice tastes good, put more of this next time, I didn't see many bottles."
Wang Erxiao shook his head, turned to look at Consultant Liu and made a gesture of invitation, then Consultant Liu continued, "It's actually nothing big, I just happen to know the person who made the fake. The Brother Kiln and the Brother Kiln are both from Longyuan in our province, and the person who made the fake is Longyuan's arts and crafts master, Master Xiahou, who is from Jingdezhen. I guess he made this thing for fun when he returned to his hometown. I bought it mainly so that I can make fun of him when we meet next time. Eight thousand is still high, after all, it's not a difficult shape. But with this, who knows, I can exchange some good things with Xiahou."
Wu Datou was relieved when he heard this. He did n't care whether it was a master or not. The most important thing was its value. No matter how great the master was, the things he made would not be as good as the genuine folk kiln products unless they were kept for three to five hundred years.
After explaining the matter, Consultant Liu changed the subject and said, "This kid is amazing. You probably didn't see the origin of that thing, but you judged from my behavior that it was something I liked. Since you mentioned the price at the last minute, you must have been in the industry for quite some time, right?"
Zhang Dadao was enjoying his drink and didn't react for a long time. When he realized everyone was looking at him, he pointed at his nose and asked, "Are you talking about me?"
Consultant Liu nodded, and Zhang Dadao said happily: "This is not difficult, there is no need to get involved in the antique business, the most important thing in our fortune-telling business is to observe words and expressions. I can tell at a glance that you have a hidden blessing in your face, and you will definitely make a fool, but the things you sell should be to your liking. I just raised the price casually, how about it? I'm accurate, right? Do you want to come to a fortune-teller, and I'll tell you when you will make a fool and when you will find a bargain? One fortune-teller is only 998, and you can get a discount if you apply for a card!"
Teacher Liu was completely dumbfounded. He thought Zhang Dadao was also from the antique business, and was about to ask Zhang Dadao if he had any teachers. Unexpectedly, he stirred up a hornet's nest, not only provoking a bunch of inexplicable comments, but also arousing Zhang Dadao's desire to apply for a card. Everyone else had heard Zhang Dadao's unreliable remarks about applying for a card, and they were all confused. Wang Erxiao saw that Consultant Liu's face had turned green, and quickly changed the subject:
"Let's not talk about this anymore. A'long, take out all your good stuff! Let teacher Liu take a look." Following Wang Erxiao, the son of an official, Brother Long doesn't dare to call himself brother. He is obviously much older than Wang Erxiao, but he can only be called A'long.
Brother Long nodded. He also knew that Zhang Dadao was unreliable, so he quickly said to Liuzi and Wu Datou, "Datou, take out the things we brought yesterday, including those embarrassing things! Liuzi, come with me. I have taken all the things from home. Come with me to move them."
Several people quickly dispersed to get their things. Advisor Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Erxiao in confusion, "Is this kid really a Taoist priest? Xiao Wang, you really know all kinds of people. I, Old Liu, have really broadened my horizons!"
Wang Erxiao could tell that Consultant Liu was holding back his breath, so he could only smile and say, "Please forgive me, this Taoist priest is also a strange man. He looks young but he has real skills. Since he is a strange man, he also has some quirks. He is a friend of my brother, and I can't do anything to him even if he asked me to take care of him. Yesterday, he was forced to agree to apply for a card from him!"
Wang Shanshan heard it and left Ye Hao behind to talk to him, "Is it true? Brother, what did this little Taoist priest predict for you? This little Taoist priest is really interesting. Many people in Baima Lake are still looking for him! How about I apply for a card too? Little Taoist priest, how do you calculate with your card?"
After hearing this, Zhang Dadao was so excited that he jumped up without even caring about the bottle of drink. He came over with a flattering smile on his face.
