Chapter 31: Identifying Authenticity

Besides, when she was in college, among the many disciplines she minored in, there was also an anatomy class, and she saw a lot of corpses, how could she be afraid of the dark?

Gu Huainan didn't know what she was thinking, but she was indeed a little surprised by this woman's courage.

If it was an ordinary woman, I am afraid that I would have cried a long time ago.

He shook his head, clapped his hands, and suddenly there was a sound of neat footsteps around him, and he saw that six tall people suddenly appeared around the originally empty area.

The six bodyguards also wore masks on their faces, but they were ordinary flat masks.

"Let's go. ”

Gu Huainan asked Jiang Nuan to hold his arm, and then raised his foot and walked towards the dark house in front of him, Jiang Nuan subconsciously dragged his arm.

Of course, she was not afraid of anything else, but of wrestling, after all, she couldn't see anything in front of her.

Six bodyguards behind him, three on the left and three, followed neatly behind the two.

Jiang Nuan followed Gu Huainan and slowly entered a tunnel under the floor in the room, the light below was very bright, but there was no light in the passage.

She looked left and right curiously, then reached out and wiped it on the wall of the passage, and suddenly understood: "I said, it turned out to be sprinkled with phosphorescent powder." ”

"Oh, I know a lot. Gu Huainan's voice was full of appreciation.

Jiang Nuan shrugged, this kind of pediatrics is nothing at all.

The road to the passage is not long, and it takes a few minutes to reach the end, and when the door at the end is opened, it seems to suddenly become another world.

Jiang Nuan's eyes widened in surprise, he never thought that on the other side of the passage under the ground, there was actually a lively scene like a night market, which was amazing.

She looked at Gu Huainan: "Are we still underground?"

"Of course. He raised an eyebrow, knowing what she meant.

The place looks like an ordinary street, with stalls on both sides, and people dressed in all kinds of clothes, but without exception, they all wear various masks.

Only then did Jiang Nuan know the reason for wearing a mask.

The shopfronts on both sides were selling all kinds of things, and she even saw that the things sold were stones at one of the vendors, which was incredible.

"Don't look at it, where we're going is ahead. Gu Huainan pulled her away

Crossing a street to the innermost part is a large area, surrounded by stone walls, around which there are many tables and chairs designed in a staggered manner.

There is a distance between the seats in each group, and at a glance, there are almost 20 sets of tables and chairs, some of which are already occupied.

The bodyguard behind Gu Huainan took out a black invitation-like thing from his arms and handed it to the guards outside the door.

After confirming that it was correct, these people were very respectful and let them go.

Jiang Nuan dragged him: "You can tell me now what kind of place this is." ”

Gu Huainan leaned over and said two words in her ear, Jiang Nuan's eyes widened suddenly, the black market, this is actually the black market.

For this place, Jiang Nuan has only heard of it, but has never seen it, but he didn't expect that the black market is like this, no wonder he needs to come here so late.

When she came back to her senses, Gu Huainan had already led him to the place where they belonged and sat down.

Jiang Nuan looked left and right, and for their arrival, the people in other positions all looked at them as if they were nothing.

There were tea sets and some snacks and fruits on the table in front of her, Gu Huainan looked at her: "If you want to eat anything or have any needs, you can shake the bell next to you." ”

Jiang Nuan didn't care about this: "You said that there is a place where you want me to help today, what is it to help?"

Gu Huainan looked at her: "There will be a batch of new goods on the black market today, do you remember how you identified that gilded vase last time?" ”

She was dumbfounded: "You mean, there will be a batch of antiques today, and then ...... You want me to help you distinguish the authenticity?"

"That's right. ”

In an instant, Jiang Nuan looked at him with a complicated face, indescribable, and thought for a while: "What if I finally make a mistake?"

He shook his head amusedly: "Don't worry, no matter what the final result is, your reward will not be less." ”

Jiang Nuan slowly exhaled at this time, probably feeling a little unkind, but he couldn't help but give him a preventive shot in advance: "I think you still don't have too much hope for me." ”

"Why?"

"I really think it was pure luck that the blind cat ran into a dead mouse last time. ”

As she spoke, she suddenly pointed to the plates on the table in front of her that were used to hold snacks and fruits, each of these plates was also exquisite and beautiful, and in Jiang Nuan's eyes, she could make a collectible.

"Look at these plates, they're pretty, aren't they? If you let me tell them, I won't be able to tell if they're real or fake. ”

After Jiang Nuan finished speaking, he changed his words and said: "Of course, I also know that these must not be antiques, otherwise they would not be used to hold melons and fruits." ”

"But if these plates are mixed into a pile of antiques, I will never be able to distinguish the authenticity, I say this, can you understand?"

Gu Huainan looked at her eyes, couldn't help but reach out and rub her head, and nodded: "I know what I mean, but ......"

With his explanation, Jiang Nuan knew why he brought a layman to help him appreciate antiques.

The buying and selling on the black market is not the same as buying and selling in the antique storefronts, and there is a difference between new and old goods.

The so-called old goods are those fine porcelain that have been wiped clean and even restored.

The new goods, on the other hand, are the ones that have just been dug out of the ground, just like the dirty gilt vase I saw last time.

Therefore, this time Gu Huainan will bring Jiang Nuan over, hoping that she can see the authenticity of other antiques like the last time she looked at the gilt vase.

Gu Huainan continued: "And this kind of business, the time for selection is also limited, didn't you say that your sense of smell is very smart?"

"So I thought, you should smell it sooner than those antique masters who come here and there with magnifying glasses to study everywhere. ”

Jiang Nuan: "......" Why does she have the illusion that she is not a dog?

But no matter what, my heart is a little calmer.

After all, if she can really help, she can forget it, but if she can't help, she is really embarrassed to ask for any payment, she is a very principled person.

After a while, the other vacant seats were filled with people one after another, and after Jiang Nuan ate the fifth small snack in a row, a magnificent drum sounded.

At this time, a woman wearing a cheongsam and a red feather mask walked to the middle and raised her voice.

"Welcome to our trade fair this year. ”
