Liu Wal said: "Lao Zhu, I remember that your warehouse is not far from here, why don't you go and have a look?"

Anyway, the food is almost over, and everyone agrees. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is exactly what Zhu Delu wants, so he casually agreed, and he took his granddaughter and everyone to the warehouse of the scrap yard.

The scrap yard used to be a place where many antique dealers liked to visit, if it was a yard thirty years ago, you could find some old objects from time to time, the reason is very simple, at that time the information was not developed, everyone did not have a clear value concept of antiques, and the old things were thrown away.

But now it's different, up to the elderly, down to primary school students, all know that antiques are very valuable, not to mention real antiques, that is, all kinds of handicrafts fired after the founding of the People's Republic of China can be regarded as treasures, so now unless you don't understand this aspect, it is generally unlikely to throw things away casually, and the probability of wanting to find antiques from the scrap yard is of course also greatly reduced.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no fish that have slipped through the net, and there are still some antiques that are not valued, for example, some people don't think that villain books are worth much, so there will be cases where they are sold in old books and magazines.

Everyone went to the place where the girl had found the comic strip, and Zhu Delu put the little girl aside and rummaged through a pile of old books, while everyone looked around to see if there was anything that could catch their attention.

Yu Wei just saw a pile of various comics next to him, so he walked over and looked at it casually, and after a while, his face showed a look of surprise: "Dragon Ball, it's still the Qiongdao version!"

When Meng Zitao heard this, he immediately leaned up: "How many volumes is it?"

"76!" Yu Weigang was overjoyed.

I believe that many people are familiar with "Dragon Ball", and the "Dragon Ball" version of "Dragon Ball" on Qiong Island is the first version to systematically publish this book.

Because of the humorous content and fascinating plot of the book, the story was told in the form of "comics", which is rare in the mainland, and immediately attracted a large number of readers, especially to the primary and secondary school students in large and medium-sized cities at that time.

Later, although a large number of publishers imitated and followed up, they were unable to compete with them due to lack of strength and inability to update the complete story in time. Therefore, at that time, "Dragon Ball fans" generally chose and respected the "Joan Island version".

Meng Zitao and Yu Weigang are also loyal readers of this version, and they were able to become friends in the first place, which was also a topic of conversation caused by this set of "Dragon Ball".

This set of books began to be sold in the public from 1991, and successively until 1994, during which more than 4 years have passed, but after the story reached "Majin Buu and His Companion Volume (4) Escape from Another Dimension", the sequel to the Jonathan version can no longer be bought. The reason is that the publishing house has had its publishing license revoked.

But in fact, the remaining four volumes have already been printed, but they were processed before they could be released publicly, so the latter episodes only entered the market through some individual channels, which also caused these books to be in short supply in the used book collection market, and the books that have been handed down to this day are even more rare.

Meng Zitao and Yu Weigang were also looking for this version but couldn't find it, and finally had to buy editions from other publishers to fill the number.

Later, as they grew older, the two of them faded into the idea of looking for the last four volumes, otherwise they could buy a set for a small amount of money with their personal financial strength.

Today, Yu Wei just discovered the 76 volumes of the Qiongdao edition, which evoked their memories, and they were pleasantly surprised for a while, revisiting the contents inside.

After reading it for a while, Meng Zitao said: "Look again, see if there are any three volumes left." ”

Yu Weigang nodded and said, "Okay, let's look for it separately." ”

After rummaging for a while, Meng Zitao happily found a copy of 77 episodes, so he continued to rummage, and in the middle of the ring, he picked up a hardcover booklet and was about to put it aside, but saw a black and white photo fall out of it.

Meng Zitao picked it up from the ground and took a look, this is a photo taken by two young people, judging from the old degree of the photo and the way it is dressed, this should be a photo before the seventies, to Meng Zitao's surprise, there is a painting behind the two, and this painting is also somewhat familiar to him, it is the two imitation of Juran landscape paintings that he has encountered before.

Speaking of which, after Meng Zitao got the two paintings, he also obtained some clues, but because there were too few clues and the age, some information could not be verified, so Meng Zitao never found out what secrets were hidden inside, so he gave up.

Unexpectedly, Meng Zitao saw a similar painting behind them on this old photo, not to mention, and there were a few words on it, he carefully identified it, it was very similar to the eight words he got by chance before, "The tiger fell in Pingyang, and returned to his hometown".

If this is indeed the case, the painting in the photograph should be related to the other two, and Mencius will certainly try to find it.

So, he hurriedly picked up the hardcover booklet again, and there was no twist or turn in it, and he found on it the name of the owner of the booklet, as well as some information about the owner, with which he was sure that he would be able to find this person.

However, in order to avoid mistakes, Meng Zitao felt that it would be better to have this hardcover booklet, and maybe it could come in handy.

After rummaging for a while, Yu Weigang came over and asked, "Have you found it?"

"Found a copy of 77, what about you?" Meng Zitao raised the cartoon in his hand.

"I also found a 77. Yu Weigang was quite happy at first, and when he heard Meng Zitao say that it was 77, he immediately became depressed: "I originally thought that I could find the last four volumes, but I didn't expect it to be empty." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, we used to be difficult to buy because the purchase channels were not smooth, but now it's easier, you spend a few hundred yuan on the Internet, you can definitely find the last four volumes, and maybe you can buy one or two hundred more." ”

Yu Weigang nodded again and again: "Hey, yes, I'll go online tomorrow to buy a few more sets to hide." ”

"Why are you buying a few sets?" Meng Zitao asked.

Yu Weigang smiled: "Hehe, don't you want to have a collection value, maybe you can sell a set of tens of thousands in a few years." ”

"You're just daydreaming!"

Just like the previous generation was fascinated by the collection of comic books, after the student readers of the year gradually grew older, it was natural to collect a set of "Hainan Edition" of "Dragon Ball" to relive the happiness of the year, so for the collection value, Meng Zitao is still sure, but it is almost the same to reach a few thousand, and tens of thousands he thinks is unlikely.

Yu Weigang said with a smile: "No matter how much it can rise, you should leave a memory for your youth." ”

At this time, Meng Zitao saw Liu Wal not far away waving to him, so he walked over.

"Mr. Meng, please help me take a look at this chair. Liu Wal's expression was a little excited.

Meng Zitao's excitement about Liu Wall can also be understood, because this chair looks like a Huanghuali official hat chair that is some years old.

The back of the chair and the armrests are bent three times, and the back panel is gathered in three sections, and the carving is exquisite, delicate and vivid. The upper section of the hall is inlaid with flat plates, and the ground is embossed with a dragon pattern, and the lower part is decorated with moire bright feet. The goose neck extends through the chair plate to become the leg foot, similar to the hind legs. The seat is framed with rattan soft drawers. Between the legs and feet, there is a step-by-step executive foot pole, and there is a plain tooth strip under the fang.

The overall workmanship of the chair is exquisite and gorgeous, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhu Delu walked over excitedly with several comic books in his hand, and was quite surprised to see this chair: "Hey, what is this chair for?"

"You're the boss, are you the right one to ask us?" Liu Vol laughed.

Zhu Delu was a little embarrassed, and said, "Maybe I received it this afternoon, how does this chair look like Huanghuali, and it's been some years." ”

Liu Wal said: "Whether it is Huanghuali or not, you have to let Mr. Meng identify it, if it is made of Huanghuali, you have to sell it to me." ”

"That's for sure. Zhu Delu patted his chest and made a guarantee.

After a while, Meng Zitao stood up and said bluntly: "This chair is not made of Qiongdao Huanghuali. ”

Zhu Delu was very surprised and said, "Ah, why do I look very similar, it can't be fake, right?"

Meng Zitao said: "You are right, it is fake, the market will be similar to Hainan Huanghuali color, grain wood such as yellow sour branch wood or other country rosewood, such as Burmese pear, Brazilian pear, African pear, these similar wood made into furniture and then old, and then pass off as Hainan Huanghuali ancient furniture phenomenon is very common." ”

"The method of aging is generally to use sulfuric acid burning, passing it through a lime pool, and there are also hydrogen peroxide and other Chinese herbs and chemicals to change the color and age of the wood, and of course, there are also color waxes to change the color of the wood. This chair should be used in the second type, and if you smell it, you will smell a strange smell. ”

Everyone stepped forward to smell it, and sure enough, as Meng Zitao said, there was a very unnatural smell.

Zhu Delu said regretfully: "Hey, I thought I missed it, it seems that people are not stupid now." ”

"This is also normal, how expensive Huanghuali is now, it can be said that it is a household name, and a few will sell it as useless old goods. Saying that, Liu Vol was also relieved, with the current market situation, it is still very rare to want to pick up the leakage of Huanghuali.

Since it was a fake Huanghuali chair, Zhu Delu didn't care, he said to Meng Zitao: "Mr. Meng, please help me take a look, these books are also villains during the Republic of China?"

Zhu Delu found ten more villain books, Meng Zitao looked at them one by one, and classified them into categories: "Boss Zhu is lucky, these six are from the Republic of China, and four are from the fifties, all of which are relatively rare, and they should be worth tens of thousands." ”

Zhu Delu smiled: "This is all thanks to Mr. Meng, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have recognized these valuable villain books, if it were a few days later, these villain books would definitely have been sent away." ”
