"Bronze Gui Lin Gui from the Early Zhou Dynasty".

The scene was surprisingly calm when the auction items were being named, which was a bit unusual. Normally, an auction would start with a leading object to start a good start, and then put a heavy treasure as the finale to whet everyone's appetite. .

But this opening item did not cause an uproar, only a few people at the table lowered their heads and whispered.

The middle-aged waiter in a white sleeveless waistcoat came to the stage and still used the old method to "fish" the bronze vessel up to the second floor. Everyone sitting at the table had time to watch it.

To be honest, this requires a lot of eyesight. Even for those who are familiar with bronzes, it is extremely difficult for them to quickly and accurately identify objects in half a minute.

I began to think that this "Jin Lin Gui" itself was an unpopular item. In addition, it was an object from the Zhou Dynasty, and its origin was not clean. It could not be resold openly, so it was normal that it did not cause a sensation.

In a blink of an eye, this thing was "fished" in front of me and Black Glasses. The spotlight shone on the bronze Gui. I saw that there seemed to be words inside the Gui, but I couldn't see clearly what they were, but it didn't matter. , not even the slightest bit interested in this thing. On the contrary, Black Glasses looked at it carefully.

"Huh?" When Bronze Gui left the table, Black Glasses seemed to be thinking about something, and then sat back down.

"What's wrong?", I asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, I'll be in a daze." He smiled at me with black glasses, but his smile was very strange.

"Maybe there will be something good to watch soon," he said later.

I didn't ask further. After another five minutes, Bai Huanqian greeted all the guests at all tables, and then smoothly placed the glass cabinet on the table on the table.

The gong sounded, and the strange-eared beauty asked for a low price. No one responded for a long time. She was not embarrassed. She just asked the microphone lightly if anyone was willing to pursue the photo, and then waved her hand. The waiter on the side immediately rang the gong in his hand, announcing that the bronze Gui had failed to be auctioned.

I looked at the black glasses strangely. Didn’t I say there was a good show to watch? Even if it is sold at the lowest price, this Zhou Dynasty object is still worth the price.

Black Glasses also looked at me, hey hey, and said: "Little Third Master, we both have an eye opener today."

Before he finished speaking, a row of waitresses walked out from the front of the stage, still holding a tray in their hands covered with red satin. They then walked separately to the respective tables on the first and second floors, and smoothly put down the trays in their hands to explain. After a few words, he turned and left.

When the waitress came to our table, she said softly: "You two have good eyesight, this is our master's signature." Then she turned around and left like the other waitresses.

The black glasses did not look at the tray, but casually took away the red satin with one hand, and ten stacks of hundred-dollar bills lay quietly on the tray.

I looked at the black glasses in confusion, and he still had the same sly smile as before: "I heard from the owner that there is a rule here. If a fake is not sold, the owner here will throw away cash as compensation. This piece of red silk is also It's called a fig leaf, and this money is called bottom red, or red brick. This is a rule left over from the old casinos in Beijing when dealers cheated."

What? Fake? Why is this Crescent Hotel still doing this? Fatty told me that there might be fakes here, but I never believed that the big New Moon boss would release a fake smoke bomb at the beginning.

"What would happen if some wrongdoer took notice, or someone unfamiliar with this place felt that it was worth buying it at the lowest price?", I asked.

"Haha, it's difficult. People who enter here usually go straight to a certain object. If they just want this bronze gui, they will definitely be prepared. Don't you think so, mistress?", Hei Glasses said slightly mockingly.

"You saw it was a fake just now, right? No wonder I saw that you had a beard all over your face." I was a little surprised by the knowledge of this dark eye.

"Well, the dragon scales on this object are not cast correctly. Most of the dragons in the Shang Dynasty are linear dragons, which are the totems of the ancestors. And as far as I know, the only dragon on the bronze gui is supposed to be with It's scaly, so, hehe." Black Glasses whispered, covering his mouth.

I saw that dragon, which was only the length of a fingertip. I sincerely admire the knowledge and eyesight of everyone here.

Just when I was thinking that this time it was good, I had made tens of thousands of dollars in vain, suddenly a ball of red stuff was thrown onto the stage from a pavilion directly above the second floor. When it fell apart, I saw that it was the ten stacks of hundreds of dollars. Dollar banknote.

I was stunned for a moment, and other rooms also started to throw it down. I thought, this is going to ruin the place, but also, this Xinyue boss made a fake, which is causing public outrage.

The black-eyed cameraman didn't even look back. He grabbed a dozen pieces of real gold and silver covered with red satin on the plate and threw them out. In the blink of an eye, there was chaos on the stage.

"What are you doing? Why are we making trouble with them? If the dispute breaks out and they start to fight, wouldn't they just catch me, a fugitive who is a notorious person?", I hurriedly covered my hands. He muttered to his black glasses.

"Young Master, look at it. This is not a prank. This is called a step in the casino. Have you ever heard of the word "step down"? It comes from here, which means we don't want the red bottom just now. , use the red bricks to lay a step for the owner here. The steps are given to you, you can just get down by yourself, and throw the fig leaf back together to show that we don't take this matter seriously," Black Glasses said.

"Although I have never been here, I still understand the rules in the casino. At this time, if we just throw away the money but leave the fig leaf behind, we will really ruin the place." The black glasses smiled strangely, and gave me a special wink, asking me to look at the owner who was leading the throw directly above the second floor. I didn't think it was a big deal, it was among the old monsters who came upstairs just before the show started. one of.

I wanted to ask Black Glasses, what would happen if we just threw away the cloth and kept the money? After thinking about it, I decided not to ask. This is the Tao. Every line has its own Tao. Can you sit in it? There are probably very few people here who care as much about the money for these ten pots of tea as I do.

Qier Master of Ceremonies did not move at all on the stage, his determination was indeed inhuman, and then he said softly: "I would like to thank all the heads on behalf of my boss, and I will serve the top-quality Tieguanyin to all the heads." His tone was soft. , but there is a sense of boldness and energy.

At this point, I deeply realized that the old Beijing's "big man" style always showed respect wherever it went. This is different from us in the south. We pay more attention to the practical things in our waist.

After that, I took pictures of a few more things, and basically got a deal. The scene gradually became heated, with some people humming a little tune, and some people just sitting on the chair and scolding their luck without calling out the price.

I have never glanced at the room directly above the stairs. I didn't dare to be too rash before I knew the situation clearly.

After a short tea break, Beauty Qi Er finally called the object I was most concerned about, the ancient ring.
