After a short rest, Liu Xun picked up the second cup and began to taste it carefully.

Seeing that the old man was working hard, Li Yan was a little reluctant to go, and he knew that he would bring one or two cups first.

This time, Liu Xun identified it relatively quickly, and said with certainty: "This cup is also genuine, during the Qianlong period, but unfortunately it is a folk kiln, and the workmanship is relatively rough, and the value is far less than the previous one." ”

Li Yan nodded, he himself found that the quality of the wine glasses was uneven, perhaps because of the different people who rewarded them, some of the audience were court officials, and some were just ordinary people.

The five cups were identified, which took more than an hour in total, and all of them were genuine, four of which were from the Qing Dynasty and one from the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Shuyan, who watched the whole process, was already dumbfounded, one or two genuine items are reasonable, and five of them are actually real, could it be that Li Yan's family opened an antique shop?

"Old Liu, can you estimate how much these five cups can sell?" asked Li Yan with a cheeky face.

"Are you really going to sell such a treasure?"

Liu Xun was very surprised, if it was him, he would have carefully collected it a long time ago, kept it for himself, how could he sell it easily.

With a wry smile, Li Yan spread his hands and said: "That's how my father explained, and he didn't hide it from you, my family has been making wine for generations, and there are some similar wine glasses, so it's okay to sell a few." ”

Liu Xun quickly understood that judging from Li Yan's clothes, his family's economic conditions should not be very good, and if he could sell these cups, it would be enough to improve his living standards.

For those who love antiques, these cups are priceless, but for those who are not interested, they are just ordinary cups, not as good as modern wine glasses, at least they won't be too distressing to break.

"Among these cups, the highest value is the Ming Dynasty color pattern wine cup, I have an old friend, half a year ago to buy a similar one for 100,000 yuan, as for the first Yongzheng period of the green glaze cup, let's give a price of 30,000 yuan. ”

Li Yan was frightened by Liu Xun's valuation, a small cup was worth 100,000 yuan, no wonder people said that gold was an antique in troubled times.

There are still three wine glasses that have not been given a price, which should be relatively ordinary and not worth much, Liu Xun did not elaborate.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Xun said: "Li Yan, if you really plan to sell, the old man can act as a middleman, introduce you to a few buyers, and broaden some contacts at the same time." ”

He has a very good impression of people with a high level of calligraphy, and thinks that seeing words is like seeing people, and if the words are written well, the heart will naturally not be too bad, so he spares no effort to help Li Yan.

"Thank you Mr. Liu, for letting you work so hard, the students really don't want to go. Li Yan said with a smile.

"Why do you always talk in a literary crepe, it sounds weird. Wang Shuyan pursed her lips and said, "It's because your handwriting is good, and Grandpa Liu thinks that your character is passable, so he bothered to help you so much." ”

What does it mean to have a passable character? This handsome guy's character has always been very good, Li Yan silently protested in his heart.

He knew that he had won the first place in the calligraphy competition, and Wang Shuyan felt uncomfortable, so he found an opportunity to belittle two sentences from time to time.

"The ancients didn't deceive me, and women and villains are difficult to raise!" Li Yan secretly slandered himself.

In the antique circle of Funing City, although Liu Xun's reputation is not as good as his in the education industry, he is also a well-known figure.

At noon that day, he invited three friends from the collecting world to his home and displayed five wine glasses in front of them.

After some identification, the three of them were full of emotion, such a brand new cup, if you don't look closely, it is very likely to be mistaken for a fake.

"Little brother Li Yan, since you are a student of Liu Lao, then let's get straight to the point, that cup in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, will I sell it for 80,000 yuan?" said Wu Canghai, the major shareholder of Fuchun Hotel.

Without waiting for Li Yan to answer, Zhao Danian, who was on the far left, sneered: "I said Lao Wu, He Lao spent 100,000 yuan to buy that cup half a year ago, and you want to start with 80,000 yuan in front of Professor Liu, are you embarrassed?"

He Tingyu is the old friend of Liu Xun and a big celebrity in the Funing collection industry.

"He Lao's cup has been appraised by a professional organization, and there is an appraisal certificate, how can it be confused. ”

Wu Canghai seems to be five big and three coarse, but he is actually very shrewd and very good at reducing prices.

The three people invited by Liu Xun have been in the business world for decades, and their business acumen is more shrewd than the other, and they are not the ones who suffer losses.

They are smart, Li Yan is not stupid, his eyes purred, and he interjected with a smile: "My cups must be sold, according to the old rules, the highest price will be obtained, and the reserve price is set at 80,000, what do the three of you think?"

Fang Yong, who hadn't said much before, nodded and said, "Then I'll also join in the fun, add 20,000 to make up 100,000, and I'll shout this price!"

The price of 100,000 yuan is exactly the same as Liu Xun's valuation, and the psychological price of Wu Canghai and Zhao Danian is about 100,000 yuan, both of them are hesitant and do not speak immediately.

"The two bosses, although we are not a regular auction, but the two of you have not made a bid, then this Chenghua colored pattern cup will be owned by Boss Fang. Li Yan said with a smile, his eyes scanning the two of them.

"What a little slippery head!"

Secretly scolding, Wu Canghai gritted his teeth and shouted out the price of 105,000.

As mentioned before, Fang Yong had no intention of continuing to bargain, and drank tea leisurely as if he was nothing.

Zhao Danian's eyes never left the antique cup, and it could be seen that he really liked it, and added another five thousand.

The price was raised to 110,000, Wu Canghai directly stated that he would give up the competition, and the cup was successfully pocketed by Zhao Danian, and his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, receiving a text message reminder that there was an extra 110,000 yuan in the bank card, Li Yanxin was overjoyed and handed the cup to Zhao Danian with his own hands.

"Lao Zhao, the best is picked by you, and the rest can't be snatched with us. Wu Canghai smiled lightly.

Being able to buy the most favorite baby, Zhao Danian was already satisfied, took a sip of tea and said: "I only collect Ming Dynasty porcelain, and although the green glazed cup is also good, I am not interested." ”

His meaning was very straightforward, not participating in the auction of the remaining four wine glasses, which immediately made Wu Canghai and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

After some bargaining, the green glazed cup in the Yongzheng period was bought by Wu Canghai at a price of 25,000, and Fang Yong won the other three cups, adding up to 10,000 yuan.

All three of them have gained something, and they are all happy.

Li Yan took a deep look at them, this is the so-called tacit understanding, or a kind of default unspoken rule, there is no red face because of competition, everyone has face.

Of course, the biggest winner is Li Yan himself, who easily earned 145,000 and became a little rich in the blink of an eye, and he didn't have to worry about money for a long time in the future.

Before leaving, Fang Yong handed over a business card, said with a bright smile: "Little brother Li Yan, if there are any good things to change hands in the future, remember to remember that you must inform me that the price is definitely not lower than the market!"

Wu Canghai and Zhao Danian also sent a business card, and Li Yan accepted it one by one.

He didn't want to trouble Liu Xun every time, and if he had an intersection, if he wanted to sell antiques in the future, he could contact the three of them directly.

Seeing them leave, Li Yan felt happy in his heart, and his hands suddenly became rich, but he didn't know how to spend the money.

"Old Liu, if it weren't for you, the middleman, the cup would definitely not be sold at this price, and the student really didn't know how to repay the kindness. Li Yan smiled bitterly, this time the debt is indeed a bit big.

Don't look at Wu Canghai and the three of them are very polite, if they don't take care of Liu Xun's face, the price will definitely be lowered a lot, and they may not even be able to sell for half the price.

"Don't be polite to the old man, but thanks to you, I have the opportunity to see those exquisite cups. Liu Laofeng waved his hand lightly and said, not taking it to heart at all.

The old man did not repay the favor, and Li Yan's gratitude in his heart deepened.

In addition to a bunch of wine glasses, there are several fans and two swords in the dormitory, and you can choose one or two as a thank you gift next time.

During the previous bidding, Wang Shuyan was also watching the whole process, her expression was quite weird, and she felt that it was too easy for Li Yan to make money.

When it came to dinner, Li Yan took the initiative to take charge of the spoon, once again demonstrated his superb cooking skills, and made a sumptuous dinner, Liu Xun rarely ate two bowls of rice, and was full of praise for the meal.

At eight o'clock in the evening, considering safety, the old man asked Wang Shuyan and Li Yan to return to school together.

Without anyone else, the two walked together, feeling extremely awkward, and there was almost no communication the whole time.

The dormitory building for accounting majors and the business majors are not in the same area.

Before parting, Wang Shuyan bit her lip and said, "Grandpa Liu is very good to you, if you have time in the future, you will accompany him more." ”

Even if she didn't say it, Li Yan would do it, but he still asked the doubts in his heart: "Today is the weekend, why didn't I see Liu Lao's children go home?"

Talking about this topic, Wang Shuyan suddenly became silent, as if she was recalling something, and said quietly for a long time: "Grandpa Liu has an only son who died in a car accident for more than ten years, leaving behind a grandson, but that guy is a rotten gambler who can't be saved." ”

Li Yan was shocked, he didn't expect it to be like this, fortunately he didn't ask this question during the day, otherwise it would definitely evoke the old man's sad memories.

Walking alone on the way back to the dormitory, Li Yan sighed a lot, Liu Lao Tao and Li are all over the world, but his later years are so desolate, and every family really has a scripture that is difficult to read.

More than 100,000 yuan was left in the card, which was not of much use for the time being, Li Yan transferred 80,000 yuan to his parents to subsidize the family, and lied that it was the manuscript fee earned by writing online novels.

In the eyes of Li's father and mother, Li Yan has been an honest child since he was a child, and it is impossible to do things that are cheating and abducting, although he is a little suspicious of the origin of the money, but he is not too worried.

The next day was Sunday, Li Yan went to the rental house early, and when he passed the moat, he saw someone shooting fish with a fish dart and slingshot.

Rural children basically played with slingshots when they were young, and Li Yan was no exception, and his head was not bad.

Fish dart slingshot is a popular fishing tool some time ago, and some outdoor anchors are popular with this activity.

After watching others play for a while, Li Yan has some itchy skills, and he also wants to get a set of equipment to try, if he plays well, he can have one more way to broadcast live in the future.

When he arrived at the rental house, he used his mobile phone to order a set of fishing equipment online, and Li Yan went live online.

Joining the audience of the Ming Dynasty, the number of people in the live broadcast room has increased significantly, and the number of fans has exceeded 300, Li Yan is very satisfied.

It takes 100,000 points to be promoted to a third-level anchor, and he doesn't dare to hope for the time being, and it is imperative to retain his existing popularity.

At the beginning, because he was the only living anchor, he was popular with many viewers, but when the curiosity passed, there may not be so many people now.

Not long after going online, when he saw the wine rewarded by Li Shizhen, it proved that he had been online, and Li Yan burned him a few medical books that he had prepared.

"Li Shizhen Lao Tie, in order to get the medical books you need, Xiao Shuai ran to three or four bookstores to barely get them together, if you find a better one in the future, I will buy it and burn it for you." Li Yan said to Mai while lighting the fire.

After a while, the red envelope sent by Li Shizhen popped up on the screen, and Li Yan instantly turned into an experienced old Chinese medicine doctor, with hundreds of home remedies in his mind.

"Thank you Li Shizhen for the red envelope sent by Lao Tie, relying on everyone's support, Xiaoshuai has made a small fortune, if you have any wishes, you can put it forward, within your ability, Xiaoshuai will help you realize it. Li Yan hugged his fists and said.

Soon, a lot of praise comments poured in, and many ghosts had unfulfilled wishes, just taking this opportunity to make up for their regrets.
