A treasure-appraisal maniac

Speaking of his acquaintance with Lu Fei, Zhang Huaizhi talked endlessly, and Zhang Dafa listened with interest.

The big man sorting out the rags asked questioningly while working.

"Old man, do we still have such an awesome person in our industry?"

"Why do I not believe it so much?"

The big man questioned Lu Fei. Zhang Huaizhi, the boss, was unhappy and curled his lips.

"Three hundred and sixty lines, and you will be the number one scholar." ??

"No matter which industry there are, there are top-notch people. You know how to use a hammer!"

"hey-hey!"

"Old man, tell me how powerful our colleague is?" the big man said.

"What did you say?"

"I'm telling you, it's a fool's errand, so get to work quickly!"

"These things have to be shipped several times!"

The big man chuckled, but did not bite his tongue and continued tying up the cartons.

Ten minutes later, the big man packed five large bundles, and only one-third of the rag pile was cleared.

"Old man, I'll pack these away first, and I'll need to make two trips for the rest."

"Should we settle the bill together when I come back, or should I give you the money now?" the big man asked.

"nonsense!"

"Of course you have to pay now, otherwise if you don't come back, where will I find you?"

"Let's settle these oversized items first, and we'll pay for them and deliver them," Zhang Huaizhi said.

"Okay, no problem."

The big man carried five large bundles of waste paper boxes outside and weighed them. They found a total of two hundred and fifty-six kilograms.

"Old man, please take a look. The total is two hundred and fifty-six pounds. It's hard to calculate the fraction. Can I calculate the two hundred and fifty pounds for you?"

"Pooh!"

"You are only two hundred and five!"

"Round it up and give me two hundred and sixty pounds," Zhang Huaizhi said.

"Old man, you have a big business, why do you have to worry about me?" the big man said aggrievedly.

"snort!"

"It's your baby who plays first

You're evil, I'm going to treat you the way you did. "

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Just calculate it as two hundred and sixty pounds, otherwise I will keep it and sell it to others."

"have to!"

"You are awesome. I'm afraid of you, so I'll count it as two hundred and sixty pounds."

The big man took out his computer and did some calculations, then handed the computer to the two old men and said.

"Old man, take a look, it's two hundred and sixty pounds, seven cents per catty, a total of one hundred and eighty-two yuan."

"This is two hundred, you ask me for eighteen yuan."

Zhang Huaizhi put the two big red tickets into his pocket without any intention of changing the money. The big man said in a daze.

"Old man, please give me some change!"

"What, no change."

"The remaining eighteen yuan will be used as a deposit, and we'll pay it together when we come next time."

"you"

"What are you doing? You don't prepare change when you go out to do business, and you still blame me?"

"Besides, it's not like you're not coming anymore, why are you afraid of letting me go first?"

"Hey!"

"Old man, you are awesome, I'm convinced."

"Okay, I'll leave you here for now, and we'll settle the accounts together later."

The big man said, carrying the bundles of cartons and loading them into the carriage.

Since half of the car was still in tatters and they were of different sizes and heights, it was quite difficult to load the car.

The big man thought for a while, then took down a large rusty iron pot about 40 centimeters high from the carriage and placed it on the ground. The interior of the carriage suddenly became much flatter.

It's quite easy to install again.

Five large bundles of cardboard boxes were loaded, and they were stacked one and a half meters high.

The ropes were tied and secured, and there was no room for the big iron kettle.

"Old man, put this big pot in your place first.

, can I take you on the next trip? asked the big man.

"No problem, you are so stupid, you have to finish it in the morning, and we have to play chess in the afternoon!" Zhang Dafa said.

"Don't worry, old man. It will be done before ten o'clock. I'll leave now and see you later."

With that said, the big man rode away on a three-wheeled motorcycle loaded with goods.

The big man disappeared from sight, and the two old men looked at the big iron pot at the same time.

After looking at it twice, Zhang Dafa frowned.

This large pot is about forty centimeters high and about thirty-eight centimeters wide.

The surface is densely covered with red spots and green rust.

Oval belly and beam.

The lid, thick neck, ring feet and handles are all decorated with Kui patterns, and the middle part of the neck is decorated with small animal heads on both sides.

"Brother Zhang, this pot looks weird. Have you never seen a pot like this before?" Zhang Dafa said.

Zhang Huaizhi curled his lips disdainfully and said.

"There's nothing surprising. This is the big pot that blacksmiths used to make themselves."

"This thing is useless, let's go back and have tea!"

Zhang Huaizhi said, carrying the pot into the courtyard without caring, throwing it directly into the rags in the corner, and took Zhang Dafa back to the house to drink tea.

The two brothers were drinking tea and chatting.

But after drinking two pots of tea, the big man didn't come back.

Seeing that it was almost lunch time and there was still no movement outside, Zhang Dafa became a little confused.

"Brother Zhang, why doesn't that baby come back?"

"You're not going to stop coming!"

Zhang Dafa heard this and quickly took out the two big red tickets and inspected them carefully.

There was no doubt that it was real money, so he let out a sigh of relief and laughed.

"It would be better not to come back. We can still earn eighteen yuan more!"

"By the way, there's also a big broken pot."

"That pot seems to be made of cast iron. It weighs seven or eight pounds."

\u003e "If he doesn't come back, we will make a fortune."

"You said today's young people, if we hadn't stopped them, they would have thrown away these cartons and bottles."

"Isn't this a waste of money?"

"Look at this pile, it can be sold for at least five hundred yuan."

"I have saved it through hard work. Wouldn't it be better to sell it to buy food?"

Zhang Dafa nodded and said.

"Brother Zhang, you are right. These kids are good at everything, but they just can't pass."

“No matter how much money you have, you can’t waste it!”

"Why!"

"They have never lived a hard life and don't know how to be diligent and thrifty in running a household!"

"Let's go eat."

"I guess the baby is delayed because of something. He should be here in the afternoon."

The rag collector never returned, and the two old men didn't take it seriously.

But who would have thought that there would be no sign of the big man all afternoon.

As night fell, the whole family came back, but the rag collector hadn't come yet. Now the two old men were a little uneasy.

Although they said it would be better if they didn't come back, the two old people were kind-hearted.

He was missing for the whole day, and I was worried about the big man.

"Brother Zhang, is something really going to happen to the baby?"

Zhang Huaizhi also frowned.

"Is it possible that the traffic police detained the car because it was too loaded?"

Zhang Dafa nodded and said.

"I hope that's the case, please don't get into a car accident!"

"There is a recycling station less than ten miles away from the highway. With such a short distance, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"I guess something important has been delayed."

"Do not worry!"

"We have so much junk here, and he left a deposit of eighteen yuan and a big iron pot. He will definitely come back."

"When he comes over tomorrow, we'll find out what happened if we ask him."
