The next day, Shen Qiu specially changed into clean clothes and came to Xie Jingwen's Xuanbaozhai a quarter of an hour in advance.

"Shen Qiu, you're here!"

Xie Jingwen is wearing an antique and classical brown cheongsam today, and the hand-embroidered cheongsam is perfectly wrapped in a delicate curve, which sets off Xie Jingwen's beauty and classical intellectual beauty.

"Shen Qiu, come in, I'll take you to meet Master Cao and Master Kong in the store!"

Shen Qiu followed into the store, and when he walked in, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Xuan Bao Zhai and Xie Jingwen are a total of three people, the boss Xie Jingwen, the master Cao Donglai and the apprentice Kang Kai.

Cao Donglai was about forty years old, dressed in a Tang costume, with a pair of green-skinned walnuts in his hands, knife-like cheeks without smiling, and an arrogant and cold aura greeted him.

Apprentice Kang Kai permed his curly hair, his face was a little childish, he also graduated from the Department of Archaeology of Yenching University, and came to Xuanbaozhai as Cao Donglai's apprentice, and when he saw Shen Qiu, he was full of disgust.

Shen Qiu obviously felt the unfriendliness of the master and apprentice, especially Cao Donglai, although he didn't say a word, there was a strong sour smell in the air.

"Boss, this is the master you invited to sit on an equal footing with my master?"

"Let me introduce you first......" Xie Jingwen still smiled.

Kang Kai said with a sharp voice: "No need to introduce, Boss Xie, we all know this benevolent brother, isn't he the loser of the Shen family, Shen Qiu? You actually asked him to be the treasure connoisseur of our shop? Are you sure you are not joking?"

Xie Jingwen shook his head and explained: "First of all, Master Cao is still the number one master of our Xuan Bao Zhai, Shen Qiu is an ordinary treasure connoisseur, Kang Kai, you also have to work hard to become a qualified treasure connoisseur as soon as possible!"

"Boss, what are you ......" Kang Kai protested with a sharp voice: "You don't know Shen Qiu's glorious history, he has been playing antiques for more than three years, and he has never made any money, and he has thousands of eye-catching treasures, and he has lost 30 million of the Shen family's property, and he used 8 million to buy back an ash altar?

"Ahem......" Cao Donglai, who had not spoken, coughed twice, and barely looked at Shen Qiu: "Miss, our Xuan Bao Zhai is also a century-old shop in Jiangcheng, but if you come to this place, it is tantamount to digging your own grave, aren't you afraid of smashing Xuan Bao Zhai's signboard?"

Xie Jingwen smiled indifferently, and the reaction of the master and apprentice was expected by her: "Uncle Cao, I know what you think in your heart, but please believe in my vision, Shen Qiu does have his own unique vision, yesterday's tourmaline hairpin and Qianlong seal were bought from him!

Cao Donglai's thin cheeks couldn't help wrinkling, and he glanced up at Shen Qiu: "Those two things he picked up?"

Kang Kai shook his head at Shen Qiu repeatedly: "If you want to say that I may still believe others, if you want to say that this Shen Dashao killed me, I don't believe it, if he can pick up the leak, I can pick up the Qianlong big pot!"

Cao Donglai got up and got up from the chair: "Miss, it's better to be like this, since you fancy Shen Qiu's ability, then I will test this master, you let him have a competition with Kang Kai, if he can compare with Kang Kai, I will recognize him as a master and let him stay and work, but if he loses, let this master find another place, and let Kang Kai turn positive." ”

"This ......" Xie Jingwen was embarrassed, such a difficult thing is tantamount to embarrassing Shen Qiu.

"No problem! I accept Master Cao's challenge!" Shen Qiu nodded calmly, originally he didn't care about staying in Xuan Bao Zhai, but now Xuan Bao Zhai is related to Wang Qianshi, no matter what, he has to stay and talk about it.

"Shen Qiu? You may think too highly of yourself! Do you really think that you have become a treasure master by picking up a leak? Don't forget that I graduated from the Department of Archaeology of Yenching University! I am familiar with hundreds of treasure appraisal materials!"

"I'm sorry!" Shen Qiu interrupted Kang Kai and said, "Yesterday, there was a shit ...... from the Yanjing Department of Archaeology."

......

The competition between Shen Qiu and Kang Kai officially began, and Xie Jingwen gave five thousand yuan to each of them, and the stipulated time was one hour.

Two people use the 5,000 yuan to go around the antique street, respectively exchange for three treasures, and then judge the winner or loser of the competition according to the sum of the value of the three treasures.

Such a seemingly ordinary competition tests not only eyesight, but also silk calculation ability.

The treasure in exchange for Tao can not be too cheap or too expensive, the unit price of things that are too cheap is not high, there is no comparison, too expensive boutique three or five thousand can not be bought, if you want to win the final victory, you have to rely on the unique ability to pick up leaks.

The antique street is divided into two streets, north and south, Shen Qiu chose the north street, and Kang Kai chose the south street.

There is a difference between North Street and South Street, South Street belongs to the category of paying for stalls, so the things presented are relatively much better.

The North Street is an open and free stall, where people from all walks of life come to set up stalls, selling all kinds of antiques, from the emperor's edict to the McDull diaper of a three-year-old child.

"Miss! Shen Qiu chose to go to North Street?"

Looking at the backs of the two people who were far away, Cao Donglai's face showed a disdainful smile: "Miss, everyone knows that Taobao Bei goes to South Street, and what is in North Street? If you want to find a treasure on North Street, it is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack!"

"Miss, you really looked away this time, this person may be lucky to pick up two leaks, I don't think he's optimistic about the ability to get it, and I don't think he will be able to compare to Kang Kai! The students of the Yanjing Department of Archaeology are not taught in vain!"

Xie Jingwen smiled: "Uncle Cao, I am the opposite of you, my eyesight may not be as good as yours, but I have never seen people before!

"Then good young lady, we'll wait and see!"

......

Shen Qiu is naturally full of confidence in this competition, not to mention an apprentice Kang Kai, even Cao Donglai is not his opponent when he goes into battle in person, according to his seniority, he is their ancestor, if this is in the Republic of China, the apprentice who dares to talk to his ancestor like this will directly slap him to death.

I don't know who leaked the news, Shen Qiu just entered the North Street with his front foot, and the vendors on both sides heard the news that Shen Qiu was going to Xuanbao Zhai to be a treasure master, and it was like a blockbuster ** that exploded in the crowd.

"My good man! Shen Qiu can also be Xuan Bao Zhai's master? This world is too crazy, isn't it?"

"Did this Shen Dashao pour some ecstasy soup into Boss Xie, right? If he becomes Xuan Bao Zhai's master, Xuan Bao Zhai's pants will be gone in less than a week!"

The vendors here are talking about it, Shen Qiu is no longer as good as North Street, and the hawkers on both sides have hippie smiles and say anything: "Shen Dashao, you will become a treasure master in the future, but you have to cover your brother!"

"Shen Dashao take a look at my stall, I have Emperor Kangxi's Zhenguo jade seal! Buy it back and let you sit firmly in the first place of Xuan Bao Zhai."

"Don't believe his Shen Dashao, come to me, come to me! I have Qin Shi Huang's Heavenly Sword, which is extremely sharp and sharpens iron like clay, and is a priceless treasure!"

Shen Qiu had a faint smile on his face, and when he heard the ridicule and jokes of the hawkers again, he had long since stopped taking it to heart, those who achieved great things must have the mind of a king, and gossip was like a passing cloud in the past.

After wandering around for most of the circle, Shen Qiu frowned slightly, although he can determine the situation at a glance now, there are indeed few objects on this North Street that can be seen, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Among them, he bought an amber snuff bottle, an old object in the Yongzheng period, the amber in it is brightly colored, on the surface is an elegant ink painting of a boy herding cattle, the workmanship is so-so, and the glaze is slightly dull.

The price is not cheap, it cost a total of one thousand eight, and the estimate should not be too high, barely a leak.
