Chapter 29: The Beginning of the General Assembly
Soon it was half past eleven, and neither of them wanted to take the car, so they walked leisurely to the inn, the only place on the antique street that was lit up, even if they didn't remember the way.
"It's almost here, I'm a little tired from walking, haha, I haven't exercised for a long time, and my physical fitness can't keep up with you young people. Lin Zhen joked with a smile.
"By the way, Brother Lin, how old are you this year?" Jiang Che asked, "I'm actually only thirty-five years old, and I'll be thirty-six after the New Year, which is not too old, and men are still in their prime at this age." Lin Zhen said.
"I thought you were in your forties, but I didn't expect you to be in your thirties, looking so old. Jiang Che asked, Lin Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, I usually don't care about my appearance, I concentrate on antiques and can't extricate myself from getting thinner, hahaha." ”
Talking and walking, the two people soon arrived at this inn, the two red lanterns are particularly conspicuous, whether it is the door plaque or the decoration is very elegant, in fact, if you look carefully at this store, it is also an entrance to the same thing.
There is generally no one in the inn at night, after all, everyone knows that this place is just an entrance, and there is no shopping at night, just buy a little during the day and then block people's eyes.
"Sir, here, please. "The people at the door don't know Lin Zhen?" What are you kidding, "Is it possible for you to change people here?" Lin Zhen asked, because he was wearing a mask, so he couldn't tell what his face looked like.
"Yes, I just came to work, and now that all these things are managed by the auction family, I'm just looking for a job anyway. The masked man said.
It's nothing, just change it, but the surprising thing is still to come, Lin Zhen and Jiang Che Jinru have put on that Japanese mythological mask.
Jiang Che and Lin Zhen first took a look around this night market, and there were a lot of good things, and it was the same as before, it seemed that they had just taken over and had not been working for a few days.
Lin Zhen and Jiang Che walked around the night market, which was roughly the same as before, and there was nothing unusual, maybe they had just taken over and had not yet come to clean up.
Lin Zhen didn't buy anything, because he was not rare for these things, and there was nothing that could make him tempted, and now he was just thinking about where to go after he went out.
Jiang Che bought a lot of treasures, some strange antiques and some things that could make people pay attention, there were three or four pieces of almost all sizes, and it also cost a lot of money
"By the way, do you know that there are four big families in our antique street that can't be provoked, and you must pay attention to this line now. Lin Zhen said.
Jiang Che smiled, what was there he didn't dare to provoke, and said, "What four big families, why can't you provoke?"
"Qin Feng's Treasure Pavilion is also a big family, now that you have provoked one, the other three will definitely join forces to bully you against this newcomer who has no backstage. Lin Zhen said
"Why, I've heard others say, what is the origin of these four families, and what are they so powerful?" Jiang Che looked at Lin Zhen with some puzzlement and said.
"What do these four families have, is it possible that they can still kill people without breaking the law, haha, don't worry about me, if they don't provoke me, I won't take the initiative to cause trouble. ”
"No, their families are indeed very powerful, not to mention that if they join forces to deal with one of you, let alone the others, and these four families are Qin Feng is the weakest, respectively in the four directions of north, south, east and west in this town, Qin Feng's treasure pavilion is the south. Lin Zhen said.
"The North Family, the East Family, and the West Family are the most powerful families in the north, and the backstage of the North Family is the second-in-command of the city's main government, as well as the East and West families, both of which were big stores decades ago, and until now, the territory alone runs through a small street. Lin Zhen looked at Jiang Che with a smile.
Jiang Che was a little surprised, he thought that he was almost like himself, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, Qin Feng was able to rank in the big family because of his father.
"It's so powerful, anyway, if they don't deal with me now, I won't say anything, and if they deal with me, then I'm not welcome. Jiang Che said.
Lin Zhen smiled and didn't say anything, as long as Jiang Che didn't have anything, it was a big deal, "Okay, if there's anything, give me a call." ”
"Come to me when the time comes, or you can find the old man before, as long as he is willing to come forward to deal with the matter, whether it is the four major families or something, he will give him face. Lin Zhen said.
It's been a long time, "Isn't it interesting to look at the things that are at the mercy of the place in front of you?" Jiang Che pointed to a stall in front of him and said.
Lin Zhen walked forward and took a look, almost all of them were some ancient children's toys, some of which he had never even seen before, and some of which were incense burners.
Jiang Che played with a few antiques and looked at them a few times, "Sir, look, this is an antique we just got here, this is a good treasure, I don't believe you take a look." The boss said.
After that, he took out an incense burner, it should be an ancestral treasure in the monk's temple, I don't know how much cultivation morality has been accumulated in it, Jiang Che looked at this incense burner and was a little moved.
Even if it's not for takeout, it's a good thing to put it at home, and it's not that it's superstitious and feudal, after all, it's better to believe it than to believe it, no one can say for sure.
Jiang Che took the incense burner, "Tang Dynasty, treasures, Xiude Golden Furnace." With such a sentence in his mind, Jiang Che said with a slight smile: "I think you have lost money by making this thing, and you can be regarded as meeting someone who is destined, I want to buy an incense burner today, but this is indeed a fake." ”
"How can it be a fake, I picked it myself, and there really is nothing strange about it. The boss said.
"Haha, you don't know about this, the main thing is to look at his color, it is so bright, you must know that the color of the things that have been preserved in the Tang Dynasty to the present are dark, and there are textures, the Tang Dynasty is very careful about the carving of these things, after all, Buddhism has just been introduced, and they are all royal masters, you look at the stripes are simple, obviously a high-imitation product of the Qing Dynasty, but it can also be worth a lot of money. Jiang Che said.
Jiang Che fooled the boss seriously, acting as if it was real, originally rushing this line of work is good at lip service, and death can be said to be alive.
"Then you can help me identify a price for this thing, I bought it for a lot of money, almost more than one million, what a loss. The boss was obviously fooled in by Jiang Che.
"I can't say this, if you sell it to others, I feel that you are at a loss, but this thing is useful to me, I can guarantee that your money is still the same as before, more than one million transactions." Jiang Che said.
"Well, this, let's think about it, after all, I'm also a hard-earned thing, and it's a loss if I can only get it back. The boss said.
After a while, the boss finally thought about it and said to Jiang Che: "That's it, 1.2 million, I'll just earn a little freight from the middle." ”
Jiang Che smiled and nodded, after all, this thing is really a valuable thing, and this boss was so confused by Jiang Che.
"One million two hundred thousand is one hundred and twenty thousand, I am not short of money, and when I come back, the place where you sat before you sent it to the Treasure Pavilion is now called the place of Fengcai Antiques. Jiang Che said.
The boss nodded slightly, Jiang Che was also a big favor to the boss, he didn't even know that it was fake, if he asked others to debunk it later, it would be embarrassing, let alone sell it.
Saying that, Jiang Che left the antique shop after paying the money, "I see that the color and lines of the antique just now are very normal, and there is nothing unbelievable." Lin Zhen asked.
Jiang Che smiled when he heard what Lin Zhen said: "Of course, because that antique is indeed a real antique, in fact, it is normal, now the antique is a profiteering market, and his kung fu is not good, how can he mix in business." ”
Lin Zhen nodded slightly, he didn't expect Jiang Che to have such a hand, it seems that he is not a simple person, after the two of them slidred for a while, the sky became clearer, and Jiang Che and Lin Zhen parted here.
Jiang Che went back and took a bath and then lay down in the blank world, Jiang Che sat on the Taishi chair and slept for a full ten hours, but only an hour had passed for the outside.
After a while, the sky began to become very bright, and at half past seven, Shen Xinwan woke up while lying on the wound, and Jiang Che was holding her with one hand.
"Why didn't you sleep, when did you come back?" Shen Xinwan asked, "You went to bed too early, and I didn't bother you to go directly to the night market and came back without any good things, and I just woke up." Jiang Che said.
Jiang Che couldn't be sleepy after lying on that Taishi's chair for so long, and Jiang Che even felt that he didn't need to sleep after having this thing.
Shen Xinwan was face to face with Jiang Che on one side, Jiang Che naturally understood what it meant, and closed the curtains, almost past nine o'clock, and the two of them came down from Chuang.
"You change your clothes first, I'll cook, let's go to the store at the headquarters together, I still have something to do." Jiang Che said, and then got up and went to cook.
Although it is said that there is no need to cook so many delicious things for breakfast, Jiang Che's current craftsmanship has not eaten the dishes in the books alone.
Jiang Che made two dishes and a few bowls of soup, he didn't expect to be able to make some snacks and other things, it was the first time to make these snacks, and he could still be a cook if he couldn't catch up with his antiques in the future.
Jiang Che put the food on the table, Shen Xinwan ate some after changing her clothes, and went directly into the store with Jiang Che, and handed over the main store to Xiao Zhao, Jiang Che was still more relieved, and now all the financial resources are in the second store.
Many employees had already arrived at the store, Jiang Che went to the second floor and didn't take care of the business on the first floor, he remembered that there should still be unused mahogany on the second floor, and he could just make a statue of Guan Gong.
Jiang Che found the piece of mahogany that had not been used up before, and began to carve, and Jiang Che took this piece of mahogany into this blank world.
Jiang Che sat on the Taishi chair and began to carve, and the time passed bit by bit, and soon two hours passed, and Jiang Che only carved to his neck, because this time he carved more carefully than anything else.
It is so detailed that even if you look closely, you can see the blood vessels on the neck, and the small hairs on some veins are also carved in detail.
Jiang Che rested for a while, although the time on this chair passed very slowly, but the carving was too detailed and beautiful, and his eyes felt a little tired.
After resting for a while, Jiang Che began to carve again, and after seven or eight hours, a mold of almost the upper body had emerged, with a Guan Gong holding a large knife diagonally, and the other hand caressing his beard.
Jiang Che rubbed his eyes, and began to carve the lower half of his body, and it took almost fifteen hours before Jiang Che put down the tools in his hand and walked down from the Taishi chair.
A statue of Guan Gong with an aura is in Jiang Che's hand, lifelike, but these ten hours of work have made Jiang Che's eyes feel sore, and even his vision is a little blurry.
