Chapter 218 Atonement in the Heart?Invitation from Tufuzi!
Facing Lin Ran's insightful gaze, the boss looked a little embarrassed and said: "To be honest, your guess is basically correct, but this thing was indeed left here by a friend. If you really want to buy it, I can give it to you." Shout."
Lin Ran looked at the boss with suspicion.
"Okay, then call your friend."
The boss asked Lin and Ran to help look after the store: "If anyone wants to buy something, just tell me I'll be back right away."
The two agreed.
Li Yuanhao found it very strange. A store like his should have made a lot of money, but why didn't he even hire a clerk? Aren't he afraid of being stolen?
About 10 minutes later, the boss came back with a tall, thin man.
The first time Lin Ran saw this man, the image of a character who was not easy to mess with appeared in his mind.
The man has a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, but his eyes are extremely thin, shining with a shrewd light.
The last time I saw eyes like this, it was that of the local master Lu Yingjie.
Their temperaments are indeed somewhat similar!
As soon as the man entered the store, he came directly to Lin Ran and said with a smile: "May I ask your name, little brother?"
"My name is Lin Ran." Lin Ran told the other party without hesitation.
It can be seen that the other party is also prepared, so there is no need for him to be secretive, but he loses his momentum!
"Haha, hello, I'm Liu Jingfeng, you can just call me Da Liu." The other party also introduced himself.
But Lin Ran had never heard of this name. Instead, the boss on the side took the initiative to introduce it.
"Liu Jingfeng is a wholesaler of cultural toys. Many small traders wholesale goods from him."
"Especially in Yanziwu Hutong. Without hesitation, he is the real owner of this store."
It turned out to be the real boss. Lin Ran clasped his fists and asked, "Mr. Liu, can I transfer this mural to you?"
"That's why I came here." Liu Jingfeng smiled and asked Lin Ran to take a seat at the back of the store.
Behind the calligraphy and painting screen is a unique living room.
The boss poured them tea and then left.
Liu Jingfeng smiled and said: "So you are Lin Ran. No wonder you can see through the origin of this mural."
Lin Ran's expression changed slightly, and the man in front of him was a little hard to figure out.
"Have you heard my name?" Lin Ran asked in a cold tone, feeling a little more vigilant and fearful.
"Who knows the name of Mr. Lin in the literary and entertainment circles in Beijing now?" Liu Jingfeng said in a nonchalant manner.
But Lin Ran felt that he knew more than that.
"To tell you the truth, my men dug this calligraphy and painting out of the grave you mentioned. I can't say what it's worth exactly. What do you think?" Liu Jingfeng was obviously testing Lin Ran.
"The price of this thing is really hard to say. As long as you dare to sell it, it should be around [-] yuan. I think those rich foreigners will definitely like it." Lin Ran also followed his words.
He also wanted to test Liu Jingfeng's attitude!
"Haha, there are indeed many foreigners who want to buy this mural, but I rejected them all." Liu Jingfeng said with a smile, "They will also find some people pretending to be ordinary customers to inquire about the price, so I asked my men not to sell it. .”
"Then why do you still put it in the store?" Lin Ran asked curiously.
It seems that such people have weird tempers that ordinary people can't understand.
"I just want to find people who are destined to see if anyone knows the origin of this mural." Liu Jingfeng explained.
"What happens after you find it?" Lin Ran felt that he was not unreasonable.
"I don't know, maybe it's a kind of atonement." Liu Jingfeng took a sip of tea, with a disappointed expression on his face.
"Atonement?"
"Actually, I think you have already guessed that I am a grave robber. To be precise, I was a grave robber." Liu Jingfeng readily admitted his identity, which completely surprised Lin Ran.
"Well, judging from your technique, you should be a Southern Tufuzi." Lin Ran nodded slightly and said.
Since the other party admits this, it means that he is still good at heart.
"Oh? Do you also know about the Southern and Northern factions?" Liu Jingfeng's interest was aroused again.
Lin Ran originally wanted to push Lu Yingjie out, but thinking about what he told him, many people were looking for him and asking about the whereabouts of Dingling Shinto.
Now that his granddaughter has finally recovered, he should also enjoy his old age.
So Lin Ran made up a lie: "I used to know a local master, and he told me this."
The local masters do not leave names to each other, and they also know that what they do is not honorable, and they often only leave the reputation of Jianghu.
I asked the other party if he had asked more, but it could be seen from his face that he had softened.
After just a few chats, Liu Jingfeng was convinced that Lin Ran was indeed an expert!
"I put the mural in the store because I was very interested in the origin of the mural and wanted to find someone who knew him." Liu Jingfeng said while drinking tea, "Actually, when my subordinate told me just now, I was guessing it was It’s not Mr. Lin anymore, but it turns out to be you when I see you.”
No wonder he invited himself to drink tea. It turned out that he wanted to make friends with him.
During this period, there were too many people showing kindness to Lin Ran. In fact, he didn't like the trouble brought by this kind of fame, so he came to Yanziwu.
"I've heard about your abilities before, and when I see you today, you are truly worthy of your reputation." Liu Jingfeng praised.
"It's just a false name. In fact, I'm just an ordinary connoisseur who just likes to collect antiques." Lin Ran said modestly.
He knew that the other party was actually confirming his identity.
A person who can be called a master not only needs extraordinary knowledge, but also has a convincing moral character.
Humility is one of the important reasons why Lin Ran is called a little master!
Sure enough, Liu Jingfeng smiled slightly and confirmed Lin Ran's true identity.
He immediately raised his teacup and said, "Do you mind if I call you Brother Lin?"
"Please." Lin Ran smiled.
After testing each other, Lin Ran found that the other party was also an honest person.
Although he is a local master, he has a good personality and even feels like Zheng Xueming.
"Brother Lin, have you considered developing your talents in other areas?" Liu Jingfeng asked without hesitation.
Lin Ran was a smart man, and he immediately understood that he was trying to win over him.
It is true that if you become a Tufuzi, with his knowledge of the ancient tombs and the miscellaneous drawings, you will definitely have no problem becoming a rich man.
However, he was still a little puzzled.
This Liu Jingfeng is too bold. He dares to win over people he just met. Isn't he afraid that he will report them back?
Liu Jingfeng obviously saw what Lin Ran was worried about and said with a smile: "Actually, if Brother Lin is determined to report it, this mural is enough evidence!"
