Chapter 232: Heads-up Begins
Early the next morning, Chen Jiang arrived downstairs early and waited, seeing that the mother and daughter both had thick dark circles under their eyes, and their expressions were quite vicious, it seemed that they had a quarrel last night......
Chen Jiang naturally didn't touch his head, said hello honestly, and then got in the car, the three of them were silent all the way, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
happened to be in a traffic jam on the road today, Sun Lu's mother pressed the horn irritably, which made the drivers next to her look sideways, and when they saw that it was a female driver, they all smiled in understanding......
It was not easy to drive to the antique city, Chen Jiang took out his mobile phone and looked at it, fortunately, 8:50, just in time.
The three of them hurried to Sun's jade and came to the store, where Lao Zhang and the old man were already sitting there drinking tea.
"Hehe, here it is. The old man laughed.
"Good morning, old gentleman. Chen Jiang hurriedly greeted.
"Hehe, what's wrong with you mother and daughter? Why are you all with dark circles, and you were so excited last night that you didn't sleep well?" the old man quipped.
Sun Lu's mother smiled embarrassedly: "Alas, I'm old and don't sleep well." ”
Sun Lu also smiled awkwardly: "Grandpa said he was joking." ”
"How about it, then let's go?" the old man asked, looking at Chen Jiang.
"Okay. Chen Jiang said with a smile.
"Grandpa, I'll go too!"
"Mr. Li, can I go with me too?"
Both mother and daughter spoke.
The old man looked at the mother and daughter with a surprised expression, and then smiled again: "I don't care, but don't you have to look at the store?"
"Sun Lu, you stay and watch the store, what are you going to do with you?" Sun Lu's mother frowned and said.
"Mom, what are you going to do, you don't believe Chen Jiang at all!" Sun Lu countered.
The mother and daughter looked at each other again......
Sun Lu's mother thought a lot last night, one was worried that her daughter was too close to Chen Jiang, and the other was worried that Chen Jiang would offend the old man, a regular customer, by talking nonsense, and then thinking about simply finding a reason for Chen Jiang not to go......
In the end, it was decided that Zhu Lu would go with her, and if she encountered any embarrassing situations, at least she was an elderly person who could play a round or something.
As a result, I thought about it all night, and I fell asleep dimly when it was almost four o'clock......
Sun Lu was playing with the copper pig given to her by Chen Jiang on the bed, and scolded her mother for being a stupid. For a while, I was worried that my mother would really not let me get close to Chen Jiang in the future, and at another time, I was worried that Chen Jiang was really bragging and would be embarrassed tomorrow......
In the end, he decided to go with Chen Jiang tomorrow, he let himself watch a good show, of course he couldn't miss it.
In this way, I was happy and worried, mixed tastes, and waited until four o'clock before falling asleep......
"It's okay, you guys go ahead, I'm in charge of the store, and there's no one here anyway. Lao Zhang hurriedly played a round.
"Humph!"
"Humph!"
The mother and daughter each let out an arrogant snort, and the old man and Chen Jiang couldn't cry or laugh, this, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?
"Okay, let's go, let's go. "The old man has the final word, and the customer is the biggest at any time.
Chen Jiang couldn't help but be a little nervous, although he wasn't worried that the wise man's glasses would go wrong, but he was worried about the old man's eyesight.
Even though he is a collector, he can't understand everything, and if he takes out the real thing, but the old man can't see it, then he will be wronged......
The antique city has just opened, and some of the stalls that are slow to come are just starting to put their goods on display.
Chen Jiang asked as he walked: "Old man, what kind of antiques are you more specialized, let's go find those identifications." ”
The old man seemed to see through Chen Jiang's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the little brother took the school exam first." It doesn't matter, I have a wide range of knowledge, and I have some friends in the auction house, even if I can't tell the difference, I can ask them to help, you can rest assured and boldly pick!"
Chen Jiang touched his head a little uncomfortably, and said: "I can only distinguish the ancient aura on the item, but I can't tell the origin of the item, so I asked the old gentleman which aspect is more proficient." ”
"Well, no problem, as long as it's genuine, someone will naturally be able to tell where it came from. The old man laughed.
The four of them walked to a craft stall.
It's a rather mixed stall, with snuff bottles, knives, pocket watches, chiming bells, vanity boxes, and miscellaneous crafts all over the place.
The stall owner is a middle-aged uncle, and his thin eyes reveal a hint of shrewdness.
Chen Jiang had already put on the wise man's glasses, he held the handle of the glasses, and suddenly saw that there was a red in front of him, and only two things with green threads.
Knives and snuffboxes.
He looked at it pretentiously, then reached out and grabbed the knife and snuffbox and handed them to the old man.
Everyone was stunned, so fast?
The old man had roughly time to scan all the goods, and Chen Jiang had already picked up the "real thing" and handed it to the old man!
"This ...... Is this the real thing?" asked the old man in surprise.
Chen Jiang nodded solemnly.
Sun Lu stared at the old man nervously, for fear that the old man would say that this was a fake......
Sun Lu's mother gloated with a face of schadenfreude, and said that you are not bragging, how can there be an appraisal of antiquities like you, if you can really find antiques like you, those appraisal experts should go home to raise pigs!
But they didn't know that in fact, Chen Jiang had already slowed down by Gu Lu, or he would be able to take it out directly when he arrived at the stall.
Because the whole stall is red, pick out a few points of green among the red, is it not simple?
It's just that if it's too fast, it looks like Chen Jiang is colluding with the stall owner, which is too fake, so he pretended to watch it for a while......
The old man took out his glasses from his bosom and looked at them carefully.
"Well, this pattern, it should be right, it is true......" He looked at it, his mouth was full of words, and after reading the sword, he looked at the snuffbox again, and nodded frequently......
The surprise in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and after repeatedly confirming that it was correct, he asked, "Boss, how much are these two?"
"A thousand swords, five hundred snuff bottles. The middle-aged uncle said.
"Bought it!" The old man didn't even pay back the price, and directly made the final decision!
The middle-aged uncle was overjoyed, he didn't expect to meet a fat fish as soon as he opened today, he collected both of these things from the countryside, one hundred, one fifty, and he made ten times as much as he changed hands!
Sun Lu's mother and Sun Lu were both surprised, is this all true?
"Old man, don't you want to look at anything else, it's good to have anything else. The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Hehe, no, these two are enough. The old man's eyes also showed a smile like an old fox.
As soon as he left the stall, the old man hurriedly pulled Chen Jiang to the outside of the antique city, Sun Lu's mother and Sun Lu were both confused, didn't they just go shopping, and it was over?
"Little brother, if the boss hadn't sold me these two things at such a cheap price, I would have thought you were colluding with him. The old man said solemnly.
Chen Jiang waved his hand again and again and said, "Old man, I really didn't collude, if you don't believe it, let's go to a few more stores, I can't collude with them all." ”
Sun Lu's mother looked incredulous, a broken knife, a snuff bottle, 1500 yuan, very cheap?
What the hell are you kidding me?
She asked, "Mr. Li, are these two genuine?"
The old man nodded and said with a smile: "These two are the products of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese knife is estimated to be the trophy of the anti-Japanese war at that time, and this snuff bottle should be the work of the late Ming Dynasty when snuff was just introduced to our country." ”
