    Judging from what happened after Zhou Yide woke up Wei Cunshi just now, Wei Cunshi's temper is indeed a bit irritable, but he is also very direct. As long as we can talk to him, this kind of person is relatively easy to deal with. In addition, this person's carving skills are very good. Mencius  Tao thought he could get in touch and maybe become friends.

    In this case, he did not counter-offer. After all, the price was already very cheap. Unless it was missed, it would definitely not be possible to buy it in the market for such a small amount of money.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Okay, so be it, but I don't have a pen, ink, paper or inkstone with me."

    Wei Cunshi had a smile on his face and immediately patted his chest and said, "I'll buy it."

    "Hey, it's still early, the store won't even be open." Zhou Yide reminded quickly.

    Wei Cunshi curled his lips and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. It's just pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I'll do it myself. How can I still not get it?"

    After Wei Cunshi finished speaking, he turned around and hurried out the door.

    Zhou Yide said nothing, but said with contempt in his heart: "With your temper, how many friends can you have? Otherwise, you will end up cooperating with me?"

    After Wei Cunshi left, Meng Zitao asked about the fou cover: "Boss Zhou, what is that on your table?"

    Zhou Yide looked back: "You're talking about the old bronzeware, right?"

    "Yes, can I take a look?" Meng Zitao smiled.

    "No problem, it's just a lid, it's not a valuable thing." As he spoke, Zhou Yide took the lid over.

    Meng Zitao pretended to look at it again, and then asked: "Boss Zhou, I would like to take the liberty to ask, do you know the origin of this thing?"

    Zhou Yide replied: "I'm really not sure about this. Teacher Wei brought the things back from his hometown."

    Meng Zitao asked: "Where is Teacher Wei's hometown?"

    "His hometown is Wenling. Let him tell you the origin of this thing when he comes back." Zhou Yide then asked curiously: "Boss Meng, is this thing valuable?"

    Meng Zitao chuckled and said: "If it is a complete device, it is really valuable, but just a cover like this is not worth much."

    Zhou Yide nodded in approval. He didn't think it was worth much for just such a lid, otherwise it wouldn't have been left on the long table like this.

    After waiting for more than ten minutes, Wei Cunshi did not come back. The mother and daughter Zhou Yide mentioned earlier arrived.

    Zhou Yide quickly invited them into the room. Seeing that Meng Zitao was there, the two of them hesitated to speak.

    Zhou Yide smiled and said: "Sister Yang, this is my friend. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

    Yang Jinfang said with a sad face: "Xiao Zhou, is it really impossible to get my money back?"

    Zhou Yide shook his head: "To tell you the truth, this matter is really slim. No, didn't you go to the appraisal place? The door of the appraisal place is not open yet, right?"

    "Yes, we were stopped by the guard, and he told me at that time that this thing can't be used for certificates. I asked him why, and he said that even he, the guard, could tell that this thing was fake at a glance, and it was the same for making certificates.  Those who write b-grade products, please let us not spend that unjust money." Yang Jinfang felt very upset when she thought that she had bought a fake product.

    Her daughter Yu Xiaoyan kept saying from the side: "I want you to call Uncle Zhou first and come to help. If you insist on buying it, I think so. How can you buy several green bracelets for 60,000 yuan? You  If you don¡¯t listen, you¡¯ll be at a disadvantage now.¡±

    Yang Jinfang said with some embarrassment: "You girl, you are already at this time, and you still say that."

    Yu Xiaoyan said: "Who told you that you don't have a brain? Now that you have been deceived by a scammer, you are doing it yourself. You even took away all the 10,000 yuan I brought!"

    Yang Jinfang said angrily: "Hey, you girl is so talkative. Do you want me to be deceived?"

    "If you weren't greedy for cheap, would you have been cheated?"

    Seeing that the mother and daughter were quarreling more and more, Zhou Yide quickly smoothed things over and said, "You two, stop arguing. Arguing now won't solve the problem."

    "Then how can I get my money back!" Yang Jinfang said with a sad face: "My fifty thousand yuan is not all mine. Most of it was put here by my relatives and friends who asked me to take the jade back. Now I have been cheated.  Yes, I still have to compensate them!"

    Yu Xiaoyan interjected: "Don't forget, I still have 10,000 yuan."

    Yang Jinfang was furious: "I asked you, are you my daughter? It's already this time, and you are deliberately causing trouble for me!"

    &?Can you please stop saying that I am some kind of grass saint?  "Meng Zitao is not a flamboyant character. Every time he hears others say that he is a contemporary grass sage, he feels a little awkward. It's not that he doesn't have that strength, but that there is no need to say it often. If you know him, you know him. If you don't know him, you don't know him.  , he felt that calligraphy should ultimately tell the story.

    "Hey, what's the point? You deserve it." Wei Cunshi chuckled and continued to admire the calligraphy that Meng Zitao had just written. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. In the end, he even praised it.

    ¡°Haha, it¡¯s the old man¡¯s birthday, let¡¯s see what else he can say about me!¡±

    Wei Cunshi laughed, and then said: "No, Teacher Meng, I think I have taken a big advantage, so please wait a moment."

    Before Meng Zitao could speak, Wei Cunshi ran towards his room.

    At this time, Yang Jinfang approached Meng Zitao with a smile on his face: "Teacher Meng, can you please help me write a calligraphy?"

    Meng Zitao was slightly startled. He didn't know how to reply. He thought to himself: "Am I familiar with you?"

    Yu Xiaoyan was very embarrassed and quickly stepped forward and said, "Mom, why are you like this?"

    Yang Jinfang didn¡¯t think she had any problem: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me? I finally met Teacher Meng. What¡¯s wrong with me asking him for a calligraphy?¡±

    Yu Xiaoyan was speechless, thinking: "Mom, are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid? You and he are not familiar with each other. If you come forward to ask for words like this, aren't you asking for trouble?"

    Yang Jinfang didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with her behavior and was about to continue talking. On the other side, Wei Cunshi came back with something.

    "Mr. Meng, this is a set ball. See if you like it." Wei Cunshi opened the box and pushed it in front of Meng Zitao.

    Meng Zitao took out what was in the box. It was a set of balls carved from ivory, using hollowing techniques. The balls were originally one solid body. It was easy to carve the outer sphere, but it required peeling off the layers to carve the inner layer.  The operating space is limited, the difficulty is very high, and the skills are unique.

    Hollow openwork is a commonly used technique in ivory horn carving. The most representative work is the superb hollow openwork ivory ball. This kind of ivory ball is called "Ghost Ball" in the book "Gegu Yaolun".  One of the traditional tooth carving techniques.  At the grand "Panama International Exposition" in 1915, my country's 26-layer hollow openwork ivory ball set won the special gold medal.

    This kind of ball set is made up of several layers of concentric hollow balls of different sizes. Each layer is independent of each other. The balls in each layer can rotate freely. The surface of each layer of balls is engraved with relief patterns. It is exquisite, clear and exquisite.  The unique skill of hollowed-out ivory ball set was once lost, but was re-created during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and continued to develop.  Now, this technique has been further developed, and craftsmen can carve up to 48 to 50 layers.

    ?Looking at the set of balls in Meng Zitao¡¯s hand, the inner and outer layers are overlapping and exquisite.  On the surface, there are carved pavilions, trees, flowers and nearly forty people of various colors, which are designed to relieve the summer heat and enjoy the cool air.  There are seventeen layers of hollow balls, large and small, from the outside to the inside. The balls in each layer can rotate freely and are hollowed out with exquisite patterns.  There are twist-lock chains and red silk tassels on the top and bottom of the ball set.

    From the perspective of craftsmanship, this ball set should be a masterpiece from the mid-Qing Dynasty. It is not easy to be passed down to this day in its entirety, and of course its value is quite high.

    Meng Zitao played with the set ball and asked: "Teacher Wei, are you planning to give this set ball to me?"

    Wei Cunshi smiled and said: "Hearing is worse than seeing. Now I know that your calligraphy is so exquisite. I took advantage of Dafa just now. This set of balls should be considered as compensation from me."

    Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to do this. I agreed to the conditions just now. Loss or gain is my own choice."

    "But I feel uncomfortable!"

    "The market value of this set of balls is 200,000 yuan. I deserve it!"

    When they heard that such a small thing was worth so much, both the mother and daughter were stunned.

    Yang Jinfang reacted immediately. No wonder her daughter stopped her just now. It turned out that asking Meng Zitao to write a calligraphy had to pay such a high price. And just now she was thinking of nothing but nothing. Thinking about it, she felt a little embarrassed and wished she could get into it.  Go into the cracks in the ground.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
