My Side Job is a Trader

Holding the brocade box containing calligraphy and paintings, Zhang Xin returned to the stall area of ​​the greenhouse.

Zhang Xin had a premonition that today would be the same as last time, and he would find good things at these mixed stalls.

Zhang Xin believes in his own feelings now, so every time he passes a booth, he will open his eyes to observe and feel it.

Suddenly, Zhang Xin stopped, because he saw an aura with a diameter of about four or five meters with his heavenly eyes.

After secretly remembering the center position of the aura, Zhang Xin pretended to be very interested in this booth, so he squatted down and looked at the items on the booth one by one like everyone else.

There are a lot of things on the stalls, unlike some stalls that only focus on certain types.

Slowly, Zhang Xin saw something emitting an aura.

It was a copper object that was only half the length of a palm, and its surface was full of rust, which was inconspicuous in the booth.

Zhang Xin picked it up curiously and inspected it, and sure enough, a cool air spread between his eyebrows. Zhang Xin ignored it, and began to observe this thing carefully. He found that this thing looked like half of a fish, and on the cross-section , there are still a few words engraved on it, and Zhang Xin recognized the words "Youzhou Jiedushi" after a long time of debating.

Zhang Xin closed his eyes, and after confirming that it was indeed the source of the aura field, he thought about it in his mind and recalled some records in the history books, only then did he realize that this inconspicuous little thing turned out to be one of the most important keepsakes in ancient times Tiger Talisman.

This thing is a necessary certificate to legally mobilize the army. Usually the emperor and the local military commander each hold half. When a certain size of army needs to be mobilized, the emperor will hand over the right talisman he keeps to the trustworthy imperial envoy, and the imperial envoy will discuss it with him. The corresponding local military commander complies with the verification of authenticity, and then the local military commander mobilizes the army according to the order.

Zhang Xin was secretly delighted. Now Zhang Xin needed to give a gift suitable for his status as a military officer, and this Tiger Talisman happened to correspond to his status as a soldier.

However, Zhang Xin still pretended to be very confused on the surface. By observing the messy things on the booth, he knew that the boss who looked only in his twenties should have just entered the industry and was not experienced enough. The opportunity he missed.

So Zhang Xin deliberately asked: "Boss, what is this thing? Could it be an ancient identity token?"

The boss didn't know much about it, he only knew that this thing must be an old object, but he didn't know what it was, and the surface of this thing was covered with green patina, which was inconspicuous at all, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Even so, when he saw that someone was interested in this item, he still had to pretend to know it to trick Zhang Xin into buying it.

Hearing that Zhang Xin speculated that this thing might be an identity token of the ancients, the boss also felt that it was reliable, because the words Youzhou Jiedushi were indeed written on it, and it was obvious that this thing was to prove the identity of Youzhou Jiedushi .

So he quickly said: "That's right, this is the token used by ancient officials to prove their official position. It is equivalent to an official seal, but the official seal is not convenient to carry, but this one can be carried with you."

Zhang Xin was delighted to hear the boss talking nonsense, but he couldn't express it on the surface.

Seeing this, the boss hit the iron while it was hot: "Boss, this is indeed an antique. If you are interested, you can buy it home and appreciate it slowly."

Zhang Xin hesitated and asked, "Then what price do you offer?"

The boss stretched out a finger and said, "One price, one hundred thousand!"

Without further ado, Zhang Xin threw the fish talisman down and said, "Boss, you are too insincere. It's just such a broken thing, why sell me one hundred thousand? It's not yet confirmed what this thing is. Before, it was just It's just a guess, not necessarily right."

After speaking, Zhang Xin made a gesture to leave.

The stall owner hastened to stay and said: "Oh, boss, don't leave, I'm asking a lot of money, you can pay back the money on the spot, isn't the sale and purchase all negotiated by both parties, if you really like it, you can make a price that suits you. We'll make a deal."

Zhang Xin also stretched out a finger, and the boss asked uncertainly, "Ten thousand?"

Zhang Xin shook his head and said, "One thousand!"

"Boss, you are the one who is being unkind now. Even if this is not a precious item, it is old after all. It is definitely an antique. I really can't accept this little thing you give. Can you add some more?"

The boss really wanted to make this deal, so he thought about it and said, "How about it, boss, let's make a deal of 10,000 yuan, do you think it will work?"

Zhang Xin knew that this was not the boss's bottom line, so he shook his head and said, "Well, I'll pay five thousand."

"Nine thousand!"

"Six thousand five!"

"Eight thousand!"

...

In the end, the two reached an agreement, and Zhang Xin bought the fish charm for 7,800 yuan.

After paying the money, Zhang Xin was playing with the fish talisman in his hand. He had just taken two steps when he was suddenly stopped by a voice: "Mr.

Zhang Xin turned around and saw an old man in his seventies or eighties wearing a Tang suit, who was staring at the fish charm in Zhang Xin's hand.

"Is the old man calling me?"

Zhang Xin knew that the old man was calling him, but he still confirmed it.

Although the old man is not young, he is very energetic, and he does not look like an ordinary person when he looks dressed up.

He walked up to Zhang Xin and said, "Young man, can I have a look at it? I want to make sure it's that kind of thing."

Zhang Xin showed the fish talisman in his hand and said, "The old man is talking about the half fish talisman!"

At this time, the stall owner who sold Zhang Xin's fish symbol was also attracted, because such a situation indicated that something unexpected happened, so he really wanted to know if he had sold at a loss.

Hearing Zhang Xin say the word "fish talisman", the stall owner still didn't know what it meant. Seeing the owner's puzzled face, the old man wanted to remind him, but he still looked at Zhang Xin and asked, "Young man's eyesight Not bad, but some people are still in the fog, can I mention them?"

Zhang Xin kindly reminded: "I think it's better not to let some people know, otherwise I'm afraid they will get upset."

The stall owner knew that Zhang Xin was talking about himself, but although he still doesn't know what the fish charm is, from the conversation between the two, he also understands that something he doesn't like is probably a great treasure .

However, the rule in the antique world is that buyers and sellers cannot go back on their word after completing the transaction. Both buyers and sellers must abide by this point, otherwise they will be blocked and excluded by the industry, and even some powerful figures will take action to punish them.

But at this time, the owner of the stall said: "I would like to ask this old gentleman to give me some pointers. Don't worry, since I have already sold the item, I understand the rules. I just want to learn a lot, learn a lesson, and never make mistakes again. "

The old man asked: "Have you thought about it? The result may make you unbearable!"

"Tell me, I can bear it." The stall owner insisted.
