Although I don't have a deep study of antiques, but I also have a certain understanding, now the porcelain and famous paintings on the market are long-lasting, and they tend to sell at sky-high prices, followed by jade jewelry, as the saying goes, gold is priceless, jade is priceless, and the most worthless is bronze, especially in China, it is difficult to circulate. And the one in front of me is not even a bronze, it is clearly a piece of iron lump, if the iron lump wants to be valuable, at least there must be an inscription or something on it, to record some important historical events or historical facts, so that it may have some research value, and there is not a word on this iron lump!"

Zong Qiang couldn't help it and said his opinion. He didn't mean anything else, just plainly strange.

The expression on Zizhu Daoren's face changed for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, looked at Zhong Lin and said, "Zhong Xiaoyou, do you see something?"

"Yes, old man. This object of yours may seem like an iron lump on the surface, but it has a long history. And the problem is precisely here, after such a long time he has not shown the slightest sign of rust, if it is ordinary iron, it would have rusted into slag a long time ago, so I say that it is not ordinary. Maybe his economic value is not high, but it has high research value. ”

Zhong Lin didn't want to hide it at all, and directly said the preciousness of this iron lump.

"I'm right, this thing is a lump of iron on my side, no one wants it at all, only by giving it to you can it reflect its true value, so you don't have to shirk it anymore. ”

Zizhu Daoist laughed as he spoke, and directly put the iron lump back into the wooden box and stuffed it into Old Man Zhang's hand.

"Alright then, it's better to be respectful than to obey, then I'll take it. In addition, I will choose a few other things, this time we can have our own brothers to settle the account, how much should be counted. ”

"Okay. ”

Zizhu Dao couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he was happy in his heart.

Zhong Lin chose a few more things, and after paying according to the price, he chatted for a while, and the Zizhu Dao people had to invite Zhong Lin and the others to dinner, but it was difficult to refuse, and Zhong Lin and the others left after lunch.

Until four o'clock in the afternoon, Zong Qiang's car really couldn't be loaded, and finally Zong Qiang drove the swept "loot" back, and Zhong Lin, Zhong Lingyue, and Old Man Zhang took a taxi back to "Lin Yueju".

Zong Qiang arrived first, the car was parked outside, and the people had already entered the house, of course he wanted to make good use of this opportunity to be alone with Duran.

"Xiaolan, the environment here is good!"

Zong Qiang looked around and said without words.

"Are you calling me?"

Duran glanced at Zong Qiang.

"That...... yes, there seems to be no one else here. Zong Qiang smiled awkwardly, and seeing that Duran was gone, Zong Qiang continued: "It's quite cool in the morning, why is it starting to get stuffy again in the afternoon!"

"Well, it's the summer solstice today, can it not be hot?"

Duran knew that Zong Qiang was here to help, and he couldn't be too cold, so he replied.

"Oh, it's the summer solstice today, it's supposed to be hot a long time ago. ”

Zong Qiang's eyes rolled, and then said: "I saw a sentence on the Internet this morning, which is quite interesting, do you want to listen to it." ”

"Ah, what?"

Duran thought it was a joke or something, and it didn't hurt to think about it, but it would be boring to stay anyway.

"The man drew a portrait of his sweetheart, looked at her affectionately and said, 'The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, and the nights that miss you are getting longer and longer.' ”

When Zong Qiang said this, he kept looking at Duran, his eyes full of tenderness.

Duran sensed that there was something in Zong Qiang's words, and suddenly looked up and saw Zong Qiang's eyes, he was stunned, and then hurriedly turned his face aside.

"I'll pour you some water. ”

Duran got up to pour water.

"Oh, no, I'm not thirsty......" Zong Qiang said casually, but as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it.

"Oh, forget it!" Sure enough, hearing Zong Qiang say that, Duran sat back in his seat.

"However, you can have a cup of cold water. ”

Zong Qiang really wanted to pump himself twice, but he had no choice but to ask for water again.

Isn't it water in Liangbaikai? Listening to Zong Qiang's words, Du Lan was actually angry, and secretly thought, this person in front of him is really a master who is leading and regressing.

Du Lan got up and poured water for Zong Qiang, and Zhong Lin and the other three just pushed the door in.

"Brother, why did you come back so quickly?"

Seeing the three of them walking in at this juncture, Zong Qiang accidentally said what was in his heart.

"It's not rush hour yet, and I'm going to get back by taxi very quickly. ”

Zhong Lin didn't know why, and replied casually. However, Zhong Lingyue heard the sound outside the strings.

"Why don't we go out for a spin again?"

After speaking, Zhong Lingyue "giggled" and laughed.

"Hehe, no, no, come, unload, my Zhonglin brothers and I will take it one by one, little aunt, Xiaolan and Zhang Lao, the three of you see where you want to put it, put it directly." ”

Zong Qiang stood up as he spoke, picked up the water that Duran had just poured for him, and drank it all.

"You take a break, don't get excited, don't break the antique we just bought. ”

Zhong Lingyue said jokingly.

"No, it won't ......"

Zong Qiang's face was already red, this guy was quite bold when there were no outsiders, and it could be said that he had reached the point of being shameless. However, when it comes to crowded occasions, the skin is as thin as paper.

At the end of the day, there were really a lot of things I bought, and after all the things were placed, Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "This time it finally looks like an antique store." ”

"Elder Zhang, I don't understand, why haven't we sold one thing for a few days, but bought so many things back?"

Duran looked at the antiques and artworks he had just bought, and thought to himself, "I won't open for three years, but I'll eat for three years when I've bought so many things at once, when will I sell them?"

"Xiaolan, don't you understand this? Opening an antique store is the same as doing business, and doing business is also called buying and selling, as the name suggests, it is to buy and sell first, and earn the difference from it. Elder Zhang, am I right?"

Zong Qiang is a person who has done big business, and he still has a set of things for doing business.

Old Man Zhang stroked his beard and smiled without answering. But Duran glanced at Zong Qiang and said, "You know! By the way, don't call me 'Xiaolan' in the future. ”

Zong Qiang was completely wilted now, and he didn't know what he said wrong, which made his sweetheart angry.

And although Duran said this in his mouth, looking at Zong Qiang's embarrassed face, he felt that the man in front of him was quite interesting for the first time.

"It's true that there are a lot of things, but I always feel that there are still some shortcomings. ”

Old Man Zhang squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully.

"Zhang Lao, what's missing? I think this is already very good, porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting, woodcuts, coins, statues...... , I have everything I should have, what is missing?"

Zhong Lingyue is already very satisfied with the things in the store now.

"Let me think, let me think ......"

Old Man Zhang walked back and forth, suddenly his eyes lit up, he stopped, and said: "Hehe, I remember, our store still lacks a treasure of the town store, which is the so-called non-sale!"

"Mr. Zhang, then look at which one is placed here, let's put a label and write the words 'not for sale', don't you have the treasure of the town store?"

Duran said, looking at the room full of things.

"Hey, that's a good idea, Xiaolan, you're so smart!"

Zong Qiang was deflated just now, and now he hurriedly stretched out his thumb to Duran and flattered him.

"That's not good, these things are all things that we just picked up from the antique market, that is to say, they are still sold normally in other people's stores just now, and we take them back as the treasures of the town store that are not for sale, so that people know that it will be a laughing stock. ”

Old Man Zhang's head was like a bulging.

"By the way, Elder Zhang, when we went to that place called 'Nameless Zhai' at noon, didn't that Zizhu Daoist give Zhong Lin an antiquity?

Zhong Lingyue suddenly remembered the "iron lump", from the conversation between Zhong Lin and Zizhu Daoren, she had already seen that it seemed that that thing was very precious, and the most important thing was that Zhong Lin valued it very much.

"It's nothing special except for its research value, and no one can see it as a good thing, so it's not good. ”

Old Man Zhang still shook his head.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you need to do?"

Duran flattened his mouth and said.

"The things that can be used as the treasure of the town store must first be something that is not available in other stores, that is, very special things, and in addition, it must be valuable things, and such things can immediately improve the grade of our antique store when they are placed in the store. ”

Old Man Zhang said unhurriedly.

"To put it simply, where can I find such a thing? It would be good if I could cross over, now I will immediately travel to ancient times, and take some bottles and cans back, they must be genuine, and they can be regarded as treasures of the town. ”

Du Lan's blurted out a sentence, but he didn't expect it to remind Zhong Lin.

"How about you look at these things?"

Zhong Lin said, pointing to a pile of objects on the table of the Eight Immortals beside him.

This Eight Immortals table was moved from Mr. Zhang's house, and it was made of fine rosewood, which was perfect for an antique store.

"I'm going, hell, where did all this stuff come from?"

Zong Qiang's eyes widened, he clearly remembered that the table of the Eight Immortals was still empty just now, why did he put so many things in a blink of an eye. What pottery, bone ware, silk, wood carvings you need......

"Zhong Lin, where did these things come from. ”

Old Man Zhang's eyes were already emitting green light.

"I traveled back to ancient times once two days ago, and these things were brought back from ancient times!"

Zhong Lin laughed as he spoke, anyone could hear it, Zhong Lin was joking, even if he had great ability, it would be impossible for him to cross it, and now he may just have something unspeakable to say so......
