I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

This person is the vice president of Longguo Calligraphers Association, Lin Wentai.

That is, as Xia Yurou said, Mr. Lin who came here today to help write the couplet.

However, Xia Yurou didn't tell Hu Muzhi about Lin Wentai's appearance or age.

So seeing the folding fan in Lin Wentai's hand, Hu Muzhi thought that the other party was here to ask for appraisal or shipment, so he opened his mouth and said, "Hello, old man, I'm the appraiser of our shop, Hu Muzhi, may I help? to you?"

Lin Wentai immediately heard that Hu Muzhi had misunderstood his arrival, shook his head, and was about to explain.

But before he could say anything, he saw the Duanshi lotus leaf inkstone that Hu Muzhi took out on the large square table.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't bother to answer any more. He hurried to the generous table, picked up the Duanshi lotus leaf inkstone and looked at it carefully.

Duan Inkstone is the favorite inkstone of literati and writers.

After some literati and writers get it, they basically don't shoot, which also leads to the scarcity of Duan inkstones on the market.

In addition, the price of Duan Inkstone is generally not high, and no one will sell it.

Therefore, Lin Wentai was so excited when he saw this Duan inkstone.

From Lin Wentai's expression, Hu Muzhi knew that this person was not a generalist, and that he should have known Duan Yan for his investment.

At the same time, Hu Muzhi had probably guessed that this person was probably the elder Lin that Xia Yurou spoke of.

After a long while, Lin Wentai looked at Hu Muzhi and said straight to the point, "How much is this item? I want it."

"Sir, I'm sorry, this inkstone is my personal property, not something sold in the store." Hu Muzhi shook his head.

"Family?" Lin Wentai thinks so is understandable, after all, very few young people learn calligraphy these days.

"Accepted." Hu Muzhi replied.

"How much did you charge?" Lin Wentai continued to ask.

As soon as these words came out, Hu Muzhi couldn't help rolling his eyes and secretly said: "Are you a buyer asking how much the seller charged? Is this appropriate?"

It's like going to a fruit stand to buy fruit, and when you come up and ask how much the fruit came from wholesale, the seller will definitely not ignore you.

In the end, Hu Muzhi also chose to remain silent. He didn't want to answer, and he didn't want to lie.

I hope that in this way, the other party can retreat.

However, Lin Wentai obviously didn't see the meaning, stared at Hu Muzhi, and said, "Young man, why don't you answer when I ask you something?"

"Sir, how should I answer your question?" Seeing that the other party was here to write the couplet after all, Hu Muzhi tried to be polite, otherwise, he would have been bombarded.

"Is there anything I can't answer? You just need to tell the truth." Lin Wentai took it for granted.

"I've taken it." Hu Muzhi sighed and said, "It's 10,000 yuan, okay?"

Lin Wentai understands the market conditions of Duan Inkstone. Like this Duan Inkstone, which is not from a famous master, the current market conditions are only a few hundred. Obviously, this young man is lying.

Thinking of this, Lin Wentai said directly: "Young man, be honest."

"I'm still a liar." Hu Muzhi laughed at himself.

"young people...."

Seeing that Lin Wentai wanted to talk, Hu Muzhi couldn't help but interrupt: "Old sir, the rules of the antique shop are never to ask where the goods come from, nor how much they charge."

Lin Wentai was stunned for a moment, then turned to say, "I'm not an antique dealer, and I don't understand these rules either."

"But I really like this stone lotus leaf inkstone."

"I also like it very much, so I don't have the idea of ​​ceding my love." Hu Muzhi said directly.

"Five hundred yuan, how about it?" Lin Wentai didn't say any unnecessary nonsense, and directly quoted a price.

In his opinion, if you can't give up love, that is, the price is not in place. As long as the price is in place, anything that can't be divided is just a pretense.

"Sir, I think I've made it very clear. I don't sell this inkstone." Hu Muzhi said word by word.

"Eight hundred." Lin Wentai raised the price a bit again.

Hu Muzhi understands that the other party must use his words as a bargaining chip to raise the price, so he keeps increasing the price.

In order to completely break Lin Wentai's thoughts, Hu Muzhi said directly: "10,000 yuan, I won't sell it if it's less than a penny."

"You...you are talking like a lion." Lin Wentai pointed at Hu Muzhi and said angrily.

"Besides, do you young people know what it means to swipe a pen and ink? This inkstone is a waste if you have it in your hands."

If it was in the past, Hu Muzhi really couldn't refute Lin Wentai's words, but now, he has some capital to refute, so he is also unceremonious: "Sir, what you say can't be too absolute, young people don't necessarily have no calligraphy. Level."

"Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy, created the world's first running book "Orchid Pavilion Preface" at the age of 32."

"You... you are stealing the concept. Is the 32-year-old of the ancients comparable to the current 32-year-old? What's more, that is the sage of the book, and the Dragon Kingdom was the only one five years ago." Lin Wentai was furious. road.

Seeing Lin Wentai's face blushing and his face on the verge of anger, Hu Muzhi was afraid that if he said a few more words, the old man would get angry and he would be the one to suffer.

This softened his tone and said, "Sir, I was talking too much just now, so please do your best."

Lin Wentai opened his mouth, and when he wanted to say something, Xia Yurou just came out of the back room office.

Seeing Lin Wentai, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Elder Lin, here you go."

Xia Yurou knew that if it wasn't for her father's face, he would not have come to write for her.

After all, the industry still recognizes the words of this vice president very much. A couplet can be sold for hundreds of dollars.

In order not to let Xia Songping owe others favors, Xia Yurou had already made plans. After the other party finished writing the couplet, she would give the white jade longevity brush to the other party as a thank you gift.

"Yeah." Lin Wentai nodded slightly as a response.

Xia Yurou found that Lin Wentai's expression was a little wrong, as if she was a little angry.

There were only Hu Muzhi and Lin Wentai in the store, so their eyes naturally turned to Hu Muzhi.

Feeling Xia Yurou's gaze, Hu Muzhi spread his hands with a look of helplessness.

In front of Lin Wentai, Xia Yurou didn't ask much, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Elder Lin, have you eaten yet?"

"I'm full of anger." Lin Wentai said in a deep voice, standing in front of the generous table, and continued: "Come on, I have to go back after writing."
