Chapter 327
Xiaoxue had no idea how much the statue was worth. She estimated her savings, including the usual pocket money, Chinese New Year’s money and the income of the anchor. It adds up to a lot, and she has no place to spend money, slow. Slowly, I have accumulated a lot of money. However, she does not want to send too expensive gifts. If it is too expensive, Zhang Zi An will definitely not accept it. Don’t look at that person is always very stingy, but the last time the netizen’s donation was rejected by him.
“Well… how much is this cat god? If it is too expensive, I can’t afford it…” She smirked and asked the old man, not skillfully using the bargaining skills. She was afraid that the old man would not believe it, and quickly explained: “I am just a small anchor, not like a national big anchor, like a million dollars…”
“how much……”
The old man seemed to see through her mind, stretched out five fingers and smiled: “Give this number.”
Xiaoxue is the most headache for others to play this dumb mystery. How many fingers are there? She has no relevant concepts at all!
“Fifty thousand?” she asked, if the old man said it was half a million, then she had to turn her head and left.
“Not so much, five thousand.” The old man put down his hand, hehe smiled, and felt the expression on her face was very interesting.
Xiaoxue was again exclaimed, “Five thousand? Are you kidding?”
“I am like a joke?” The old man put his hands on his hands and looked at each other seriously. “I am a business, how can I offer the price?”
“But…” Xiaoxue is still unbelievable. How does this statue look like a value of only 5,000 yuan? Even a small piece of wood that someone else sent her father is worth tens of thousands of dollars. In her opinion, it is completely unreasonable, not a broken piece. Wood? But this statue is different. The materials, shapes and origins are different. Unless the old man deliberately deceives her, there is no reason for it to be better than a small piece of broken wood.
Will he lie to her? Xiaoxue sneaked at him. Although the liar will not write the word “swindler” on his face, the old man does not seem to be a liar. Whether it is appearance or conversation, is it good for her to deceive her? Besides, even if you are cheated, it is only 5,000 yuan!
The old man also knows that he has to explain something further. Otherwise, it will cause others to misunderstand. If you think you don’t have a picture, it will be too embarrassing. If he really has a picture, but the problem is no, he just thinks that this little girl is very pleasing to the eye, as long as he looks pleasing to the eye, he has sent more expensive things.
He smiled and said, “After a while, a guest took a fancy to the statue and booked it. Later, it was too late to get it. I can’t contact it. So how can I deal with it? I am also very embarrassed – throw it away, but unfortunately It should not be treated like this, it is estimated that it will be taken to the waste station, sold as scrap copper… Leave it, I am not suitable for it to stay in this store. Therefore, if small You can buy it, but it’s just a matter of my heart.”
Xiaoxue blinked, she was pure but not stupid, and asked carefully: “Listen to what you mean, it seems to be abandoning this statue?”
She had vaguely felt before, why should such a precious statue be thrown in the corner of the store door and let it be dusty?
The old man did not answer her question directly, but went to the door and waved her. “Little guest, come out and see.”
Xiaoxue walked over to him and looked out.
The old man raised his finger at the wall opposite the alley. There were a few stray cats lying there, constantly looking at it. It seemed to be coming over, but he didn’t dare to come over, wanted to leave, and could not bear to leave. Xiaoxue didn’t understand why she was allowed to see this.
“I am a cat-loving person.” He said with great regret, “This statue was given to me by one of my students. He knows that I love cats, and I have worked hard to bring this statue to me. If you suspect that this statue is not the right way to go, it is not necessary, neither stealing nor grabbing.”
“Oh, are you a teacher?” asked Xiaoxue. She feels that the old man’s style of elegance is like an old school, but even a teacher, I am afraid to retire early.
“It was very long ago.” He straightened his waist and looked into the distance. He said with satisfaction, “The barely candid is also the world of peaches and plums.”
Then he laughed at himself. “The hero does not mention the courage of the year. Or let me talk about this statue first. My student gave me the statue. I know that the statue of the cat god is of extraordinary origin, and my heart is very happy.”
“If you like it, why should you sell it?” Xiaoxue is even more puzzled.
The old man also showed a confused look. “I love cats. When I was in BJ, I not only raised my own cats, but I also couldn’t help but feed the stray cats who were foraging… But since I came to Binhai, I’m strange. It happened, no matter what food I took out to lure, these stray cats never dared to approach my shop. After investigation, I found that the problem lies in the statue of the cat god, just take it away from the shop, those stray cats Just dare to come.”
Xiaoxue listened to God and did not interrupt him.
“I don’t believe in evil in my life, but the facts are all there, and I don’t believe it.” The old man smiled bitterly. “I only came up with an inference – the psychic spirit, even if it is just a fake of the gods.”
Hearing the words “the gods and spirits”, Xiaoxue was cold, and his face was shrunk into the down jacket collar.
The old man said: “This is the reason why I am eager to send it away – I can’t keep it, and I can’t keep it in this small shop. The temple can’t hold this big fairy.”
Xiaoxue heard this and hesitated. If this statue of cat god is as amazing as the old man said, I am afraid that there will be problems in the pet store. There are a lot of cats in the pet shop. If they are scared by the cat god statue… she can’t afford this responsibility. But if you just give up, it is a pity that this is a chance that you will miss it.
She couldn’t make up her mind and thought about a way to talk to the old man. “I’m sorry, I actually want to buy this statue to give away. I want to discuss it with him before I decide, can I?”
The old man smiled. “Guests please take care of yourself.” After he finished, he picked up the feather duster and walked back to the store to sweep it. Hey, it was a leisurely style.
Xiaoxue sent a message to Zhang Zi An.
Xiaoxue: I am going to broadcast to you there for a while, can I?
Zhang Zi An Seconds back: I can welcome if I can advertise.
Xiaoxue: “…” It was still Zhang Zi An, and it didn’t change at all.
Xiaoxue: I heard that your store has to be reopened, and it has repeatedly caused you trouble. I intend to bring some gifts in the past, but I don’t know if it is appropriate…
Zhang Zi An: What is wrong? If it is a gift, I will dare to accept it! In the first place, don’t expect me to discount, and don’t expect me to return.
Xiaoxue laughed.
Xiaoxue: This gift is a bit strange, the store said it is very different, especially for cats, it seems to make the cat become terrified.
Zhang Zi An: Is it worth it?
Xiaoxue: … is worth some money.
Zhang Zi An: Then I will not refuse, even if I send it, I will not believe it!
Xiaoxue: Ok, then I will carry the gift in a while.
She put away her mobile phone, put aside her heart, ran back to the store and said to the old man: “I want to buy this statue of cat god!”
