Chapter 90: Gold hidden in Buddha statues (page 14)
"This is the best piece of porcelain I have here, and it's such a big one. It really can't get any cheaper." The stall owner Ge Yusuo said in embarrassment.
He Yuzhu said: "I'll pay you twenty yuan. If you don't sell it, I won't take it."
Ge Yusuo frowned and said: "This"
He Yuzhu stood up and was about to leave. Xu Wood quickly said: "Boss, please give me a favor, and you can make it cheaper. We will come back next time."
"Yes, I don't have much money with me. I'll invite this one first, and then I'll invite a few Buddha statues back next time."
Ge Yusuo gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll give you twenty yuan."
Then he warned: "There is one thing I have agreed with you first. All these things are bought and sold according to your own eyesight. You will not regret it. You cannot return it after buying it. There is no such rule in this industry. I don't have any." Can you tell me which dynasty and generation the product is from?"
He Yuzhu nodded: "I understand."
As he spoke, He Yuzhu took out twenty pieces of money and handed them to the stall owner.
After buying it, He Yuzhu picked up the reclining Maitreya Buddha.
"This statue is really heavy and made of solid materials. It must be from the Tang Dynasty." He Yuzhu said with a smile.
Ge Yusuo looked at He Yuzhu as if he were a fool. Of course he knew the boss He who had just opened the tavern. Now he confirmed that this was Bang Chui who only knew how to make buns. He was wondering if he would come to visit him again in a few days and get some bronzes. Tell him that it belongs to Shang and Zhou Dynasties, or Xuande furnace, and make a lot of money.
Xu Wood next to him was also very happy. He Yuzhu defrauded him of 50 yuan. After so long, he launched revenge.
Bring the person to Ge Yusuo and sell him an ordinary porcelain. The money earned will be divided between the two of them.
If you come back a few times, you can make your money back.
Today started well. I defrauded He Yuzhu of 20 yuan, and I was able to get 10 yuan back. Of course, the price would be lower the first time, and I would gradually increase it later.
"Zhuzi, since you said this Buddha statue is from the Tang Dynasty, then put it away at home. This kind of thing is kept for family heirlooms and will not be sold out unless absolutely necessary."
In this way, He Yuzhu would not ask others for appraisal. He himself thought he had bought Tang Dynasty porcelain, and it would be easy to continue to fool him in the future.
"Yes, I will put it away when I get back and won't show it to anyone. This is a treasure that can be passed down to the family."
He Yuzhu hugged him and walked back. Xu Wood didn't say that he had bought some porcelain, and the three of them followed him.
He Yuzhu deliberately stumbled when he was walking and almost fell down. Then he took this opportunity to let go of the Maitreya Buddha statue.
Under everyone's gaze, it fell directly to the ground.
With a bang, the Maitreya Reclining Buddha fell directly to the ground and broke into eight petals.
Everyone was surprised. Some knowledgeable people had already noticed that there was no genuine product on the stall. That is to say, a young man like He Yuzhu was an outsider, so he bought this Buddha statue at a high price.
"He fell down on his own. It has nothing to do with me. Don't blame it on me." Ge Yusuo was afraid that He Yuzhu would be unreasonable, so he spoke directly.
This is also the rule in the antiques industry. If something goes wrong after the purchase is made, it has nothing to do with the seller.
Xu Wood suppressed his laughter and pretended to be very happy: "Zhuzi, why are you so careless? Now it broke into eight pieces, and the porcelain is no longer valuable."
Xu Damao couldn't help but gloated: "He Yuzhu, why are you so unlucky? A Tang Dynasty porcelain costs several hundred yuan, and you just dropped it like this."
Xu Zhaodi comforted her: "Don't be angry, Zhuzi, I'll just buy it later."
Several people on the roadside heard Xu Damao say that the porcelain was from the Tang Dynasty and that he was also an ignorant stick, and they cast pity on He Yuzhu.
However, He Yuzhu was very calm at this time and just said: "Why is there cotton stuffed in this Buddha statue?"
After saying this, everyone around was stunned. Yes, normally the middle of porcelain is empty, why put cotton in it?
It was a pity that the porcelain was broken just now, but no one thought much about it.
"Perhaps it was the cotton that was stuffed before transporting so that it wouldn't be damaged by the shock," Xu Wood said.
"The porcelain is broken, but this handful of cotton is still useful."
As he spoke, He Yuzhu squatted down and threw the broken pieces of porcelain on the roadside on the garbage heap. After all, it was porcelain from the Republic of China and was not valuable at all.
Then he picked up the cotton, and suddenly a golden thing fell out of it and fell directly to the ground.
"What is this?" He Yuzhu said in surprise.
"It's a big yellow croaker!" Those who were watching the excitement recognized it immediately.
"It's still four big yellow croakers tied together."
"What? Four large yellow croakers?" Xu Wood was not calm anymore. He looked carefully and saw that the gold bars on the ground were so dazzling. The cotton ropes tied to the four gold bars had broken, and the gold bars were lying crookedly on the ground.
"Can such a big one buy a whole house?"
"This kid is so lucky. He bought a piece of porcelain, and there were four gold bars hidden inside."
"How much can I exchange for this? It would be great if it were mine."
"What kind of money can I exchange for? Just go to the military control office to exchange for a house. Now the government only collects gold bars."
The onlookers were talking about anything, and everyone was jealous of He Yuzhu's luck. This thing, which was even more bizarre than pie in the sky, happened in front of his eyes.
He Yuzhu wanted this effect. He had already bought a bicycle before and it became the first bicycle in the courtyard.
If he spends a large amount of money to buy houses and sell things, the beasts in the courtyard will definitely suspect that the money he spent is not honest, and they will definitely report him.
But today, Xu Wood brought himself to buy porcelain, and then hid four gold bars in it, earning a large amount of income, thus laundering the money.
Especially today, Xu Wood had evil intentions when he brought himself to buy porcelain. The three members of the family banded together to deceive him into paying for a worthless porcelain. They also wanted him to keep it as a family heirloom and not sell it at home, so that the fakes would be exposed. It won't be exposed.
He Yuzhu just happened to break the fake porcelain and get four large yellow croakers openly and honestly. This killed two birds with one stone, laundered the money and made Xu Wood vomit blood in frustration.
At this time, the three Xu family members were all dumbfounded. They had indeed made a trick to get He Yuzhu to take advantage of him. After all, Ge Yusuo assured that the porcelain on his stall was collected in the countryside and bought from scrap depots. At most, it was from the Republic of China period. Even those in the Qing Dynasty did not have such a job.
Yes, there is indeed no porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. There is no problem with this guarantee, but how could there be four large yellow croakers hidden in this porcelain from the Republic of China?
The key is that this large yellow croaker is more valuable than a Tang Dynasty porcelain.
Xu Wood was shocked when he heard the comments from passers-by. He stared at the four large yellow croakers with his eyes, his eyes turned red with envy.
I did a lot of calculations and thought of everything, but I didn't expect that there were gold bars hidden in the porcelain of the Republic of China, and there were as many as 4 gold bars.
My monthly salary is only 30 yuan, which is more than my salary in ten years. I will never be able to save four gold bars in my life.
Why is He Yuzhu so lucky?
