Everything was left to Xu Anguo to operate, and Qi An became an idler with nothing to do. But it's not really idle, he needs to make a plan for the next seventy or eighty years of his life as Qi An.

Every time you wake up, Qi'an will have a new experience, especially this one. In this year, Qi An has a completely different feeling than before. In the forty years he has been asleep, the world has changed even more than in the past four hundred years.

In the past 1,000 years, Qi An has experienced various professions, and this time it is quite a novel experience to open a private restaurant.

Qi An is not for profit, nor is it for satisfying his appetite. Set up the table of eight immortals and entertain the sixteen parties. Since ancient times, restaurants have been a good place to be well-informed and untouched.

You don't have to worry about the formalities of the store, but you still have to pay attention to the furnishings and decorations. Because he wanted to follow the style of Chinese private dishes, Qi An decided to go shopping for some decorations.

After going out and taking a taxi, I came to the antique market in Dengzhou City.

It is said to be an antique market, but in fact, it is just an evolution of a thrift market in the early years. Now, in addition to old objects, there are also stalls of handicrafts and high-quality imitations.

Qi An didn't come early, but the market was still bustling. The stalls are lined up one after another, selling calligraphy and paintings, selling old goods, selling Ming ware and antiques, and selling large pieces of woodware, which can be described as dazzling.

Qi An didn't have the heart to pick up the leaks, he just wanted to pick up some antique handicrafts to go back to fill the façade. Therefore, he is unhurriedly pacing with his hands behind his back, like a retired old cadre, bending down from time to time to pick up an object and look at it twice and then put it down again.

After two turns, Qi An stretched. Sure enough, there was not a single real thing, and the so-called old goods were all handicrafts that were hand-worn.

Since this is the case, Qi An went directly to the antique shop against the wall. In addition to old goods, this kind of shop also sells some industrially produced decorations.

I found a corner and walked in. The shop is quite modern, with two rows of large cabinets on the left and right, displaying all kinds of porcelain. I don't know where a few warm lights shine through the glass on the porcelain, which looks particularly elegant. In the middle of the room was a large table, under which several chairs were neatly arranged. On the table were several boxes of different sizes, each containing jade.

Behind the counter sat a middle-aged man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, wearing a gray tunic, with a wide open neckline, rubbing a pair of stuffy lion heads in his right hand, holding a mobile phone in his left hand and looking down.

Qi An didn't care about his coldness, and most of the owners in this kind of shop were like this. If the person who comes in looks like an expert, at most a greeting "It's coming" is polite. If the person who comes in is a novice, the boss will greet him warmly.

didn't look at the jade pieces on the table, but looked around at the porcelain in the cabinet, and Qi An didn't like any of the objects. Although it is mostly genuine, it is often sold as the Qing Dynasty, and the novices who are regarded as mallets once they buy it back are considered to be a slap in the eye, and the loss is big.

Qi An walked up to the boss, knocked on the counter, and said, "Boss, I see that your goods here look pretty good, but I can't see the quality of the goods because I'm not careful, and it's useless to accept them." ”

Hearing this, the boss put down his phone and looked up at Qi An. The meaning of Qi An's words pointed out that his goods were not available, which made him more convinced that Qi An was an expert.

"What do you mean?" asked the boss as he stood up, with a friendly smile on his face.

"If a friend wants to open a restaurant, he can fill the façade with a batch of new goods, and it doesn't matter if he imitates it or judges it. Qi An was still polite.

The boss lost interest, and there has always been no oil and water in the new goods business, so he said perfunctorily: "Yes, I'll help you pick a batch, and I will send it to you when you give you an address." ”

As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper from under the counter and handed it to Qi An, and sat down again.

Qi An wrote the address, paid the deposit, and turned out. Not used to carrying a mobile phone with him, Qi An looked at the sky, seeing that it was still early, and decided to go shopping for a while.

As he was walking and stopping, Qi An suddenly felt that the corner of his clothes was being pulled by someone.

When I turned my head, I saw that it was a man of about thirty years old, short, thin and weak, his eyes always like to look around when he spoke, and there were no two catties of flesh on his cheeks, like a sharp-beaked monkey with cheeks.

Lei Gongzui smiled, his eyes were about to squint, "Big brother, I've been seeing you for a long time, I see that you are also an expert, let me tell you, if it weren't for you being an expert, I wouldn't be looking for you, are you interested in calligraphy and painting? Come with me to see, I have really good things there, and I don't usually take them out...... There's also a painting of Tang Yin!"

Although it was a little unnatural to be called brother by a man with such an old face, Qi An was still a little curious, so he asked Lei Gongzui: "Your stall is in this market, why didn't I see you just now?"

As soon as Lei Gongzui heard that Qi An's tone was loose, he stepped up his sycophancy: "The stall is on the other side of the market, my eldest brother looks at the stall, and I will only lead it when I meet an expert." ”

Walking to his stall, Lei Gongzui beckoned him to look casually first, and said loudly to the man watching the stall: "Brother Qiang! Take out the treasure at the bottom of the box and show it to this big brother!"

Qi An watched Lei Gongzui's small movements keep moving, and that Qiang brother hurriedly found a black cloth bag in the box on the side and carefully placed it in front of Qi An.

Well, this is using yourself as a mallet. Qi An felt a little funny, it must have been that he had just stopped and stopped, looked in front of each stall but didn't buy anything, and was recognized by these two as novices. In Zi'an's opinion, this experience is also quite interesting.

Unfolding the black cloth bag and unfolding the scroll on the box from top to bottom, Qi An found that it was a figure painting with a vertical scroll. The paper has turned yellow, and it depicts a woman talking to a scholar sitting on her side.

There are a few lines of poetry inscribed in the upper right corner: "Li Duanduan in Shanhe Fang, I believe that I can do white peony." Who recalls Yangzhou Jinman City, the price of rouge is poor and sour. On the left side of the poem, there is also Tang Yin's signature and two small seals.

At first glance, Qi An couldn't help but laugh, this painting was clearly "Li Duanduantu", and these two people were too careless to fool people.

Not to mention the painting, just looking at the scroll and paper, you know that this thing is not enough even in the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, this painting is in the collections of two museums in Nanjing and Taipei, and if this painting is genuine, the two boys will immediately be sentenced to ten or twenty years.

Holding back his laughter, Qi An exclaimed exaggeratedly, and exclaimed, "Good things, good things! How much are you going to sell to me?"

"You must know this thing, brother, and don't let it be bought and sold, but our brother points to it to eat, so let's give you 100,000 yuan. ”

Lei Gongzui and Brother Qiang glanced at each other, and there was a look of joy on their faces that could not be concealed, it seems that this customer is really a person with a lot of stupid money.

Seeing these two people having a silly laugh there, Qi An didn't have the idea of teasing the fool, he said to the two of them: "I'm afraid this won't work, right? 100,000 is the price of the two paintings in the museum, and the two of you have this painting, the goods are good, but I can't see for sure, you better put it away." With that, Qi An turned to leave.

As soon as they heard this, the two knew that Qi An was not the half bottle of vinegar they thought they had before. Brother Qiang found that he was being tricked, and his face was a little unsightly, but it was difficult to do it in the face of the public.

Lei Gongzui was very single, and without saying anything, he wrapped the painting again and put it back in the box.

But at this time, Qi An turned back again, he stretched out his hand to stop Lei Gongzui, who was about to put the box back, and said, "Although this painting is new, the painting is really good." Let's do it, give a price, let's make a friend, draw me, and take it back as an ornament. ”

Brother Qiang wanted to say something, but Lei Gongzui stopped him, and he didn't have the enthusiasm he had before, so he just said: "Dude, I see that you are also a knowledgeable person, we can't give you this painting, this is a means for our men to make money, how should you find the next family to do business?"

Qi An nodded and said, "That's right." So what else do you have? I don't think you don't have anything good to do at the bottom of the box. ”

As he spoke, he brought the rattan box in front of him, and Lei Gongzui had no choice but to say: "The other things in the box can be sold to you, but the paintings can not be given to you, you can pick and choose the others." ”

Qi An was waiting for this sentence, and took out a sea of pens from the box: "This sea of pens is also imitation?"

Lei Gongzui glanced at him before, but now he is very single, and when he heard Qi An ask, he nodded and said, "Republic of China goods, imitation Yongzheng Dynasty." ”

Holding the sea of pens in his hand, Qi An picked them again, and suddenly smiled: "So many big springs and five thousand?" As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of copper coins and put them in the sea of pens.

Lei Gongzui regarded Qi An as a peer after being hit by the blow in knowing people, and now he knows everything: "This thing is easy to lose, and you can't find it if you save business." ”

Qi An handed the sea of pens and the handful of "Daquan 5,000" to Lei Gongzui and asked him to estimate the price.

"Give 800 to make it, the right is to make a friend. In the future, you can take care of the business, don't come to make trouble. Lei Gongzui accepted a few bills handed over by Qi An and admonished.

Qi An nodded at Brother Qiang and Lei Gongzui, and then turned to leave.
