My Side Job is a Trader

Seeing that other people on the table were looking at him curiously, Cheng Wentu gave a general account of what he saw and heard at the Panjiayuan Antique Market.

Wuxingquan master Liu Yuanqiao said: "I didn't expect Zhang Xin to have research on antiques?"

Zhang Xin said modestly: "Wherever it is, it's just luck."

Cheng Wentu said: "Don't be modest, I know you are proficient in this way, otherwise how could you pick up the leak twice?"

Zhang Xin was stunned for a moment, because he was sure that Cheng Wentu was not there when he picked up the missing inkstone for the first time, but now he obviously knows.

Cheng Wentu seemed to see Zhang Xin's doubts, he smiled and said, "Zhang Xiaoyou, don't forget, I often hang out in various antique markets, so naturally I know a lot of people, including Jubao Fast Boss Zhao."

"Zhao Qianjun?"

Cheng Wentu said: "That's right, it's him! He also told me about you, so I know that you are indeed proficient in the antique industry."

Zhang Xin asked curiously: "What did he tell you?"

"When I was drinking tea and chatting with him, I wanted to ask him if he had any antiques suitable for a military officer as gifts, but he said that not long ago someone asked a similar question.

So through the description, we are sure that the person is you, do you think it is a coincidence? "

Cheng Wentu took a sip of soup to moisturize his throat, and then said: "I told him that you picked up a big leak in the booth area of ​​the shed, but he told me that you don't just rely on good luck at all, after all, good luck is also will disappear.

He said that you were holding an unremarkable inkstone in your hand at the time, and later he found out that the inkstone was actually a tile on the Weiyang Palace, the main hall of the Han Dynasty imperial palace in legend, but such a small thing, after his estimation, was at least several times larger One hundred thousand Chinese coins. "

After everyone became quieter, Cheng Wentu went on to say: "At that time, Zhang Xiaoyou decided whether the antiques were worth the price according to the value of the antiques in his store. In the end, he couldn't escape Zhao Qianjun's sharp eyes, so he knew that Zhang Xiaoyou He must be a person in the industry, and he is also very good at it."

"Wow! Little friend Zhang Xin is really good!"

Everyone began to discuss, if Zhang Xin is very talented in martial arts, how to explain his ability in antiques?

Cheng Wentu said to Tan Jiangfeng, "Aren't you curious why I was a little late today? That's because I wanted to find a gift for you that fits your military status, so I wasted some time."

Tan Jiangfeng didn't say too much. After all, gift giving can be big or small. The ancients also said: "Sending goose feathers for thousands of miles, the gift is light and the affection is heavy."

The gift given should only be in line with the wishes of the owner.

"Okay, I've made you worry. To be honest, it doesn't matter whether the gift is expensive or not. I'm even happier that you can come. After all, I'm getting older. It's hard to say how many of our brothers will be left in a few years."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Cheng Wentu interrupted Tan Jiangfeng, "Today is your birthday, so don't say anything unlucky."

"Okay, you guys eat and drink well, and when the banquet is over, don't leave in a hurry. Let's go together!"

Tan Jiangfeng drank a glass of wine with everyone, and then went to other tables to toast.

Zhang Xin asked: "Isn't Mr. Tan the birthday star today? Why do you still use him to toast everyone table by table?"

"This is his personal style of doing things. He is very independent. After a long time, you get used to it. Besides, except for our table, the other tables in this room are children of powerful families in the country. Although Big Brother Tan He is a general, but there are many people with higher status than him, and his toasting can be regarded as respect for those people."

An insider revealed inside information that outsiders did not know, and Zhang Xin sighed with emotion: There are people outside the world, even if he is rich now, compared with these people, he is a nouveau riche at all, and there is no comparison, so Zhang Xin decided to He acted in a completely low-key manner, and stayed out of the limelight if he could, so as not to cause dislike to some people above him. Although he had supernatural powers, it was not a spell after all. It could only be used as a warning, not as a means of defense.

After the banquet was over, some people who had no friendship or were busy left first, and Zhang Xin followed Cheng Wentu and others.

Everyone came to a gazebo in the yard to enjoy the coolness and drink tea. Cheng Wentu talked about the fish talisman, and then asked Zhang Xin again if he would like to make a move.

Zhang Xin also admired Cheng Wentu's perseverance, and he was still thinking about this matter, so he could only say, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, I already gave it away. You and I got it from the wrong person."

"Huh? Did you give it away? You just gave it away for such a precious thing?"

Cheng Wentu exclaimed and scolded Zhang Xin for being a loser.

But Tan Jiangfeng seemed to think of something, and asked: "Old Cheng, I'm listening to you talking about fish charms. Does this thing look like a fish?"

Cheng Wentu said: "That's right, it's called the Fish Talisman because it's in the shape of a fish!"

"Very precious?"

Tan Jiangfeng glanced at Zhang Xin and asked.

"There are only a few military talismans left in the early Tang Dynasty, and they all lack the other half."

"Then why are you so obsessed with the fish charm in Zhang Xin's hand?"

Cheng Wentu hesitated for a while, then said: "Because I found out that his fish talisman might be a perfect pair with the fish talisman in my hand. If it is true, then the value will be invaluable. I regret it." , He should have taken it down that day regardless of the cost. Now it’s a good thing, he actually gave away the fish talisman?"

Tan Jiangfeng laughed "haha", and Cheng Wentu said, "Well, you old Tan, you still laugh at me!"

Tan Jiangfeng said: "You don't need to be angry and regretful. If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Xin should have given it to me as a gift, right? Right?"

Zhang Xin also replied with a smile: "I did give you the fish talisman as a birthday present."

When Cheng Wentu heard the news, he let out an "ah" and couldn't speak because of his excitement. He looked at Tan Jiangfeng anxiously, as if he was asking him to give it to him.

Tan Jiangfeng called Tan Jimin over and told him to fetch the congratulatory gift from Zhang Xin.

After a while, Tan Jimin took a painting and a brocade box containing fish charms to the gazebo.

Tan Jiangfeng opened the calligraphy and painting on the spot, while Cheng Wentu couldn't wait to open the brocade box, took out the fish amulet and checked it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, everyone is admiring "The Picture of the White Tiger Descending the Mountain".

"This painting is fine. The white tiger is the main soldier. It is quite in line with your status as a soldier. It can be seen that little friend Zhang Xin really put a lot of thought into it."

"Not only that, the fish charm was also a symbol of military power in ancient times. These two gifts are much more precious than those emerald corals."

When everyone finished appreciating it, Cheng Wentu held on to the fish talisman and asked, "Old Tan, our lifelong friendship is not as important as such a small fish talisman, right?"

Tan Jiangfeng was also speechless about Cheng Wentu's rogue behavior, and said: "This is a gift from my friend Zhang Xin, so I can't just give it to someone else, right?"

Cheng Wentu immediately looked at Zhang Xin. Seeing this, Zhang Xin said, "Since I have already sent it out, how to deal with it depends on the owner's will, and has nothing to do with me."

After finishing speaking, the corners of Zhang Xin's mouth curled up, wanting to see how Tan Jiangfeng dealt with Cheng Wentu's rascals.
