Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Brother Qian knows that for something like this, no matter if it's 600 or 700 yuan, as long as he likes it, he will definitely buy it without hesitation."

"After all, this is the same jade carving of Guan Gong that Master Gao just gave me. It is a one-of-a-kind treasure!"

"Brother Qian, if you want to resell it after you buy it, you will definitely get 700 yuan. Now you should understand that I am not talking nonsense, right?"

"Great, great! You are really an expert in business, brother. I am convinced by your words. Five hundred and fifty is five hundred and fifty. I want it."

As Brother Qian spoke, he took out a handful of coins and started counting them.

"Brother Qian, you sound like you've suffered a great loss. The main reason is that this treasure is rare. If it were just some mediocre thing, even if I had a eloquent tongue and praised it to the sky, you would definitely not even look at it."

"Hahaha, you're such an interesting guy. I paid for your stuff and let you make money, but you're so rude and won't take any loss."

Brother Qian was counting the money while laughing and teasing Xu Damao.

"If I had made about the same amount of money and had a bigger profit, I would definitely praise you highly. Unfortunately, these two deals today are not very profitable, so my words are inevitably a bit sour. I hope you can forgive me!"

Xu Damao acted as if he had suffered a great loss, and drank up all the red dates and pear juice in the big teacup, then handed the teacup to Lou Xiao'e.

"Brother Gao, please help me take out a hundred yuan first. I will return it to you when I get back. I was in a hurry to leave today and didn't bring that much money."

"No problem, we are old friends. Look at what you said..."

In front of Xu Damao, Brother Qian asked Master Gao to pay him a hundred yuan. I don't know if he really didn't bring enough money, or if he had just said that he didn't bring that much money, and in order to cover up the lie and maintain his face, he deliberately asked Master Gao for a hundred yuan...

"Here, little brother, this is five hundred and fifty, click on it!"

Brother Qian handed a thick stack of money to Xu Damao.

After taking a glance, Xu Damao took the money and put it directly into his pocket without counting it.

And since it couldn't fit in one pocket, I put it in two pockets.

"Brother Qian, can I pack it for you?"

"No, it's fine just to hold it like this. Bye!"

"Farewell!"

Watching the two people leave, Xu Damao turned around and walked to the bicycle, took out a box of sliced ​​pastries and a bag of braised chicken feet from the back basket of the bicycle, and walked to Lou Xiaoe.

"Are you hungry? There is food here."

"I'm not hungry. I just drank a glass of red date and pear water. I'm full."

"Eat something, you're still growing! You watch the stall first, I'll go take a look next door and borrow a high stool, otherwise there's nowhere to put the food."

After handing the things to Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao walked to the next stall.

"Brother smokes!"

Xu Damao took out a Daqianmen cigarette and handed it to the big brother in front of him.

"Hey, brother, I made a lot of money today. What do you think of something? I'll give you a good price!"

The stall owner took the cigarette handed over by Xu Damao with a smile and put it in his mouth.

"I'll take a look, but I need to borrow the bench first. I'll return it when you leave, big brother."

Xu Damao said this and pointed to several high stools next to the stall owner.

"No problem, take it and use it."

The stall owner was very generous and agreed to Xu Damao's request directly.

Xu Damao didn't hesitate to pick up a stool with one hand and returned to his stall. Then he opened the pastries and chicken feet and placed them on the stool.

"You eat first, I'll go buy something."

"What to buy?"

"Hey, I just saw a few canine teeth in the stall next to me. I was going to buy some to play with, but you probably aren't interested."

Xu Damao waved at Lou Xiaoe and walked straight over.

The stall next door is a bit messy, but there is nothing we can do about it, because the things sold in this stall are quite messy, such as ivory, wood carvings, old furniture, old desks, etc., and there are even a few live chickens on the side...

"Brother, this thing of yours is real, right?"

Xu Damao picked up two sharp teeth that were about three inches long and examined them carefully in the dim light of the lantern.

"Brother, you are an expert. This stuff of mine is absolutely authentic!"

The stall owner vowed and said this while patting his chest.

"What's the difference between an expert and a nobody? We all make a living from this business. I want these two teeth. Oh, and this claw. How much is it in total?"

"I'll charge you twenty bucks for the teeth, and forty bucks for two. As for the claws, I'll also charge you twenty bucks!"

With the light of the lantern, Xu Damao picked up the paw and looked at it for a while, then put it on the stall, took out forty yuan and handed it over.

"The claws are too big and inconvenient to hold, so let's just buy these two canine teeth!"

Xu Damao took the tiger tooth and walked back directly.

"Brother, take a look. If there is anything you need, I will give you a good price..."

"Okay, I have guests coming over, I'll come over after I greet them."

Xu Damao walked back excitedly and saw a customer looking at the items on his stall. He quickly approached the customer and after some bargaining, he successfully sold a ceramic lotus jar and a blue and white fish plate from the Kangxi period.

These two items were not produced by the official kiln and their value is really not high. The two together are worth only a few dozen yuan.

"Da Mao, what good stuff did you buy over there?"

Lou Xiao'e walked forward in small steps, took out a handkerchief and wiped the oil stains left by the chicken feet at the corner of her mouth, while curiously nodding to the person next to her and asking.

"I bought two tiger tusks, hehe, look." Xu Damao could not hide his excitement.

"Why buy it? What's the use of it?"

Lou Xiao'e looked confused.

"It's very useful. I'll tell you in detail later. I have to go over there to see if there are any other good things on his stall." Before Xu Damao finished speaking, he hurried over.

"Brother, although your stall is small, your business is quite prosperous. Unlike me, you are the only one who has opened such a big stall." The stall owner's face was full of envy, and there was jealousy in his words.

"Hey, brother, don't say that. We have just arrived. It's still early. Most people haven't come here yet."

While comforting the stall owner, Xu Damao picked and chose, selecting a few ivory-carved pen holders and some small and exquisite ornaments, and finally took two rhinoceros horns.

"I'll take these for now. My old man's birthday is coming up soon, so I need to prepare some things. Brother, you see I've chosen so many things, so I can't ask for too much. Give me a discount."
