In front of Padanglai's booth, a group of people were already around.

A lean old man with gray hair was holding a magnifying glass and looking at a black box carefully.

A middle-aged man in his forties next to him asked, "Old Qi, is there anything to say about this box?"

Qi Lao didn't look up, still paying attention to the box, and said: "This is lacquerware, looking at the carving style, it is from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period." ”

The man asked in surprise: "Spring and Autumn Warring States, isn't that more than 2,000 years old, can the lacquerware still be preserved so well?"

Qi Lao raised his head and did not answer the middle-aged man's question, but looked at Li Dongwen and said, "Boss Li always surprises us. The sword box last time was from the hand of the public loser, and the box containing the sword in front of me, looking at this ingenious mechanism, is probably also the hand of the public loser. ”

Li Dongwen smiled silently.

Qi Lao continued: "These three words are 'fish scale dagger', and there is the shadow of the pre-Qin Great Seal insect and bird characters. Unfortunately, the number of oracle bones found now is limited. By the way, you wrote the words 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix', right? Did you also draw the painting? Is there an original manuscript?"

This Qi Lao is the Qi Lao who stared at the cheongsam of the etiquette lady, and it is also the Qi Lao who Huang Lao invited to identify the Xuanyuan Sword together.

Li Dongwen said: "Graffiti is not worth mentioning. ”

Qi Lao: "You are too modest, the master's hand is nothing more than that." I saw your words from Lao Huang, and I didn't expect your painting skills to be profound. It's just that I've never seen this phoenix, so I don't know what to refer to?"

What is the reference? I said it was raised at home, do you believe it?

Li Dongwen: "It's pure fabrication, not worth studying." ”

As soon as Qi Lao heard this, he understood that people didn't want to say more.

"Boss Li, this box and this sword, can we take a photo, go back and study it." "Qi Lao can only retreat.

"No problem, please. Li Dongwen stretched out his hand to signal.

Qi Lao hurriedly instructed the middle-aged man to take pictures, and every angle and every detail was magnified and photographed.

Qi Lao said: "When Boss Li is free, you can come to the capital to talk about it, we have a lot of questions, and I hope you will give us advice." ”

Li Dongwen waved his hand slightly: "Old Qi is polite." I am a businessman and a farmer, so how can I give advice? I'll be sure to visit you when I have time. ”

After sending off Qi Lao and the others, everyone surrounded Li Dongwen again.

Ba Dong said: "Qi Lao is one of the few antique appraisals, famous in the capital, we play with the collection of small shrimp, it is rare to see." ”

Qiao Shan said: "The antique circle is full of old-fashioned guys, and I haven't been in the antique circle yet." Boss Li is so young and promising, and now he is in the antique circle, it's a little early, right?"

Ba Donglai picked up the short sword and said, "I just heard Qi Lao say that this sword is called the fish scale dagger, not the legendary fish intestine sword?"

Li Dongwen said: "It's just a name, it's easy to use, what's the name, what's the matter?"

Xie Anping hurriedly agreed: "Of course, this sword is too sharp, today I have seen what it means to sharpen iron like clay." ”

Badong said: "Qi Lao has been looking at this box, and he still says that it is lacquerware from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is there any explanation?"

Qiao Shan and Xie Anping shook their heads in unison.

Li Dongwen said: "Put it away, it's just a box with a sword." If it's okay here, I'll leave first, and the company still has a lot of things to do. ”

Xie Anping said: "Lei's jewelry has been listed, and it is the turn of our Anping logistics next, and I also have a lot of things." ”

Everyone dispersed, and Li Dongwen and Zhou Daoping returned to Tongyuan, because two major events had just happened in Tongyuan.

A major event is a major personnel change in the Tongyuan government, and the old secretary Meng Bin has been promoted by half a grade to the state people's congress for retirement. Gu Chunji was promoted to secretary, and now he is the secretary and county magistrate.

The reason why the county magistrate had a difficult birth is said to be that the state and the province do not agree on the same thing, and all parties are still playing.

Another major event is that the summer silkworms raised by farmers in Yangcaogou Township finally had an accident.

Most silkworm farmers, summer silkworms are not the Peach Blossom Fairy company's silkworm seeds, the result of the silkworm cocoons, small size, quality difference, color is also yellow, and the yield is low, each silkworm seed only harvested more than 100 catties of silkworm cocoons.

The head of Baishan Township jumped to his feet in a hurry, and these silkworm farmers had already surrounded the county agricultural materials company and demanded compensation for the loss.

Hundreds of people rushed to the county seat to make trouble, which was already a proper mass incident, and Township Chief Bai was forced to lead several police officers in the township to maintain order at the scene.

"Folks, let's go back first. The county will definitely investigate this matter clearly and give you a satisfactory answer......"

"Each village chooses a representative to stay, and everyone else goes back first, are you all okay?"

"The summer silkworms have been lost, aren't there still autumn silkworms? Don't you want to continue raising silkworms in the future?"

"The village chiefs of each village have brought your people back, look at the present, what do you look like?"

"There are still many townships in the county, and they are rushing to raise silkworms. Which of your villages doesn't want to raise silkworms, report it and return the saplings to others!"

……

Township Chief Bai spoke dryly, and after some bitter words, he finally persuaded the silkworm farmers to go back.

Silkworm farmers petition also require costs, and they go all the way to the county seat, and people eat and chew horses, all of which are money.

The large army dispersed, but there was one representative left in each village, twenty villages, and there were also twenty people, and the white shirts still looked a little too much.

Township Chief Bai borrowed a conference room from the county agricultural materials company and continued the meeting for the 20 delegates.

The agricultural materials company didn't want to borrow the conference room, but the head of Bai Township glared: "Why don't I call those silkworm farmers back, and you can talk about it yourself?"

The agricultural materials company immediately coaxed, these farmers are not reasonable masters at all, you can use the conference room as you like.

Bai Township Chief also pulled the managers of two agricultural materials companies to attend the meeting, and the grievances of silkworm farmers could not be carried by themselves.

Township Chief Bai knows very well that in the face of grievances, they can't do it, they must let them vent it out first, and then think of a way, otherwise the grievances will accumulate more and more, and it will be more difficult to deal with the boiling of public grievances.

White shirt: "Let's come one by one, whoever wants to speak, raise their hands first." ”

As soon as Bai Yi's voice fell, five or six people immediately raised their hands.

Bai Yi glanced at a few people who raised their hands, "Come, Liu Mazi, you say it first." ”

Liu Mazi: "They are selling inferior silkworm seeds, and they must be compensated." ”

Bai Yi looked at Liu Mazi and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

Liu Mazi said: "The silkworm seeds of the Peach Blossom Fairy Company used by Zhang Laoshi's family in our village have collected more than 500 catties of silkworms in the summer, and the silkworm seeds in the county we bought have only collected more than 100 catties, which is the evidence, that is, there is a problem with their silkworm seeds." ”

Bai Township Chief didn't want to take this stubble, so he asked the people from the agricultural materials company, "What do you say?"

What do we say, and who do we turn to?

The people of the agricultural materials company said stubbornly: "Our silkworm seeds are all purchased from regular silkworm seed manufacturers, and the procedures are complete, and there are certificates ......."

Wang Mazi: "The output is so bad, it's clearly fake!"
