Chapter 0017 Magic Mirror
The antique shop will not open for three days and will be eaten for three years.
Seeing that Zhou Xiu, the potential customer, was planning to leave, the fat boss who had not opened for a few days was a little anxious, wondering whether he should take out the store treasure for the other party to show it?
But at this moment, he found that the other party suddenly stared at the shelf on the left.
The fat boss followed Zhou Xiu's gaze and saw a brass mirror the size of a palm at the bottom of the shelf. The mirror emitted a golden light under the sunlight slanted westward at the door.
After a little recollection, he quickly remembered that the bronze mirror was bought at a fellow traveler's house at the beginning of the year. The man stopped opening an antique shop and sold it. After getting the news, he rushed over and picked up two rosewood carvings. This brass mirror was considered a match and the money was confiscated.
Before the fat boss could speak, Zhou Xiu had turned around and walked over, bent down and reached for the brass mirror at the bottom of the shelf.
It was almost time for Zhou Xiushou to touch the brass mirror before he could touch the brass mirror. He suddenly stretched out a hand from the slant and took away the brass mirror one step faster than him.
Zhou Xiu looked at Yao Jin halfway through. He was a strong young man in his 0s. He had a sighing stubble on his mouth and a colorful scorpion tattooed on his right neck. He looked gloomy.
Just as Zhou Xiu looked at the person, the Scorpion man ignored his gaze and looked over and over with a brass mirror.
The brass mirror is a diamond-shaped shape. The front is yellow and the back is carved with complex floral ornaments. There is also a ten-centimeter-long copper handle at the bottom of the mirror, and silk threads are wrapped around the handle.
Due to poor storage, there are many scratches on the brass mirrors and floral decorations, and the workmanship is also very rough. If it were not for the antique shop, it would not be picked up by anyone if it were thrown into the trash can.
"How much does this cost?" The scorpion man shook the brass mirror in his hand and asked the fat boss beside him.
"Haha~ We are all clearly marked prices here." The fat boss said, looking at the price tag below the shelf, which clearly stated ¥:10,000.
Seeing the mirror, Zhou Xiu frowned and said, "This is something I took first."
It seemed as if he saw Zhou Xiu next to him at this time. The Scorpion man glanced at him and said with a little lazy and disdainful look: "You like it? But what should I do if it is in my hands now?"
Zhou Xiu raised his hand and clenched the brim of the baseball cap. Yu Guang looked at the high-definition camera above the corner of the wall, pressed the urge to beat the Scorpion man into Pig Head Three, and turned to the fat boss and said, "The price is 12,000 yuan in one go."
The Scorpion man couldn't help laughing, "Oh, you've started playing the bidding mechanism? OK, I'll join in the fun, I'll give you 15,000."
Zhou Xiu said: "20,000."
The scorpion man stroked the green-skinned Hu on his mouth with his hands, raised three fingers with a funny face and said, "Wan."
Zhou Xiu said without hesitation: "50,000."
"You are awesome!" The scorpion man said, giving Zhou Xiu a thumbs up, turned his scalp and looked at the fat boss with a smile, asking, "Hey, boss, this person is not the one you invited, right? I rarely want to come here to buy an object, but I will encounter such a bloody thing."
The fat boss, who was a little dizzy when he was smashed by the sudden pie, immediately came back to his senses when he heard the Scorpion man's words: "The boss is joking! I really don't know this little boss, and it's the first time I've been dealing with him today."
The Scorpion man turned to look at Zhou Xiu, looked up and down on him, probably knowing it, and sneered: "You are willing to buy a broken mirror for 50,000 yuan, but you just don't know if you can take it out?"
Hearing the Scorpion Man's words, the fat boss immediately looked at Zhou Xiu with eager eyes.
I didn't notice it just now, but now he realized that this young man who has been calm and composed since entering the store was so ordinary in his clothes. His whole body was no more than 200 yuan. He also doubted whether the other party could take out 50,000 yuan?
Zhou Xiujing reminded him that he seemed to have about 1,000 yuan left in his card.
Under the gaze of the two, Zhou Xiu said calmly: "I don't have that much cash on me, but I can pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan first, and the rest will be delivered together when I come tomorrow."
Hearing Zhou Xiu's words, the fat boss's expectant face suddenly turned into disappointment;
The Scorpion man even laughed, "Are you teasing me? Why are you messing around here if you don't have money?"
Zhou Xiu frowned and said, "I said that I can pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan first."
The scorpion man looked at the fat boss with a smile, "Boss, what do you think?"
"Well..." The fat boss chuckled and turned to look at the Scorpion man.
The scorpion man said, "I'll give you 5,000."
“…”
50,000 became 5,000, like a knife inserted into the fat boss's heart, causing him to bleed in pain, and he kept wondering if he had misunderstood?
But this idea was quickly denied.
Although this brass mirror has been around for a while, it has no design or knowledge, rough workmanship, and has no collection value at all. Moreover, it has been circulated in the hands of people in the circle many times. If it really had its origin, it would have been taken away by those miscellaneous masters long ago.
As for whether to collect a deposit of 1,000 or 5,000 cash, there is no need to consider it too much. He has seen a lot of tricks in antique shops and has seen a lot of them. No matter when the money is put into the pocket, it will be safe!
"Boss, 5000 this is also..."
When Zhou Xiu understood the fat boss's meaning, he understood. He didn't say anything and turned around and went out.
The scorpion man looked at Zhou Xiu's back, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and turned his head and said lazyly: "That's 4,000."
The fat boss almost choked to death with a spit. He just returned 5,000, but in a blink of an eye it turned 4,000 again. He really hoped that the young man just now would come back and argue for a few more times. He quickly said, "Okay, okay, five thousand is only five thousand..."
...
Ten minutes later, the Scorpion man left the antique shop with a clutch, got on an Audi off-road vehicle parked at the intersection and drove to the east of the medicinal materials market.
The car drove less than 1,000 meters away from the old street and stopped at the door of a bank. The scorpion man got out of the car with a phone, locked the car door and walked towards the bank while talking.
The Scorpion man had just left, and a man wearing a baseball cap quickly turned over from the sidewalk, put his palm on the driver's door for a while, and the four Audi headlights flashed, but there was no alarm sound. No sirens were installed.
The man in the baseball cap quickly opened the car door, bent down and took out a handbag from it, closed the car door, turned around and disappeared on the road where the cars were coming and going. It took only ten seconds in front and behind.
Because the vehicle was parked horizontally, neither the left and right security guards at the bank door saw this scene, and even the camera above the head only captured a back.
In the bank hall here, the scorpion man was still calling. At this moment, he accidentally saw an orange light flashing on the glass of the service window, which was a shadow reflected in outside the gate.
The scorpion man subconsciously glanced out of the door, but found that his car was flashing with double lights. He was stunned for a moment, then reacted, hung up the phone and rushed towards the door.
When I came to the passenger cab, I opened the car door and saw that the handbag placed on the seat disappeared.
"Haha--" The Scorpion man smiled anxiously, turned around looking around on the bustling road.
He guessed with his heels that it must have been the good thing that the man did before, but he didn't expect that the other party would follow him.
After looking at the scorpion man, he withdrew his gaze and sneered, "Dare you dare to play with me to stalk the cicada, right? Don't let me catch you!"
Zhou Xiu did not go far here, just in an alley diagonally opposite the bank road.
I opened the bag and took out the brass mirror from it. As for the handbag and various documents, bank cards and a small amount of cash, I threw it directly into the trash can.
Holding the mirror in your hand, running a trace of true energy into the mirror body, the next second, something magical happened, and the mirror suddenly shone brightly, like an incandescent lamp in the dark, covering the setting sun in the sky.
The white light flashed and it had returned to its original state before the passers-by saw it.
At this time, the brass mirror in Zhou Xiu's hand had changed a lot. Not only did the scars on the surface disappear, but the mirror body also turned dark gray. Its texture is neither gold nor jade, but it is extremely heavy when it is started.
The black mirror that can be seen is a faint light flowing, which is breathtaking, while there are tadpoles-like ancient seal scripts and strange birds spread their wings and want to fly. They seem to be bulging, but they are traceless when touched.
Zhou Xiu held the mirror handle with his right hand and gently stroked the mirror with his left hand, just like stroking the girl's delicate face, so gentle and light.
