Chapter 341: Pawn Shop

"Therefore, to be a good collector, you must not only have the knowledge and ability to identify objects with a keen eye, but most importantly, you need to have a good character. Uncle Zhou Fugui summed it up and said, "It's a pity, now that the social world is declining and people's hearts are not ancient, it is really very difficult to achieve such a situation." Alas......"

That long sigh seemed to be like a sigh into everyone's hearts.

In addition, Jia Rudao is here, he is reading a book and is fascinated, but when Ah San and a few others are talking, when the voice is a little louder, they can still listen to a few words, especially, at this time, a few people are talking and talking, and they actually talk about him, even if Uncle Zhou Fugui and Ah San are very familiar with him, but when they are praised, it still makes Jia Nidao feel a little embarrassed.

So Jia Rudao could only pretend to be attentive and continue to look at his book.

When the topic of several people was staggered at the beginning, Jia Rudao closed the "Saying Porcelain" in his hand, walked up to Uncle Zhou Fugui, and said: "Uncle Zhou, this book looks quite insightful to me. I think it's still necessary to take a closer look. Look, can you keep it on my side for a few days, and then I'll come back when I'm done...... I'll be careful with that. ”

As if he was afraid that Uncle Zhou Fugui would not agree, Jia Rudao added at the end as he spoke. It made Uncle Zhou Fugui's eyebrows smile and said, "Good, good, good." Xiao Jia, you borrowed a book from the past, how can I not feel at ease. ”

"Dad, it seems that your baby also has different treatment for different people. Ali glanced at Zhou Fugui angrily and said, "A while ago, my classmate wanted to borrow your book, but you didn't agree......"

"You know how to make trouble. Zhou Fugui patted Ali on the shoulder and said, "Your classmate, I think it's just a speculative peddler, who just wants to find some tricks for doing old from my book." You say, can I lend him such a good book?"

Seeing Ah Li, there was no words for a while, and Uncle Zhou Fugui naturally understood that Ah Li's words just now were nothing more than wanting to raise the bar with him, and he didn't mean to be angry, and the father and daughter still had a tacit understanding.

However, Uncle Zhou Fugui glanced at the other young people on the side, and said earnestly: "Today, this world is prosperous like a dream, the world is noisy, people's hearts are floating, and fish and dragons are mixed. To put it bluntly, that is, the tide of the materialistic era has brought spiritual distortion and cultural alienation to people, and at the same time, it has also brought depression, loneliness and indifference in negative emotions, making people's hearts restless, vain and selfish. It's not that I'm here to make a name for myself and want to say some warning words, but that our ancient Chinese civilization is indeed suffering a thorough baptism and is exuding bursts of pain. At my age, if you say you're old, you're not old, and if you're young, you're not young. So ......"

"Dad, who said you weren't young. Ali muttered from the side.

"Huh. Little girl, Dad, I'm still a young man in your eyes. Otherwise, why do you always have to go against your father and raise the bar?" Zhou Fugui originally had a somewhat serious expression, but after Ali's interruption, it was much easier.

"Not really...... Ali muttered as she lowered her head.

"Whether it's or not, it's not something my generation can do to change this terrible situation. Uncle Zhou Fugui's ears were pointed, even if Ali's voice was very slight, he still heard it, "Of course, it's too wide, perhaps, it's not something I can manage." However, the old man said well, the world belongs to you young people after all. I can't control other people, but the people around me should always be promoted and reminded more, right?"

"Papapa......" Uncle Zhou Fugui's words, before he finished speaking, Ah San applauded on the side.

"Uncle Zhou, in normal times, I really didn't see the furrow in your chest. Ah San said, "If the second grandfather knew that you had a dream, he would regret that he didn't teach you well in the early years." ”

"Hehe, I don't have any hatred for the old man. "Uncle Zhou Fugui, smile bitterly, even if it has been revealed. However, Jia Nidao on the side can be seen from Uncle Zhou Fugui's words, and the relationship between Zhou Fugui and Second Master Wei is probably not so simple, right?

And what Zhou Fugui said before about poor understanding and the like, maybe he was to the point. However, Jia Yidao didn't think that just such a reason directly led Uncle Zhou Fugui to change to jasper collection.

It's just that Uncle Zhou Fugui doesn't say it himself, Ah San is also secretive about such topics, and Jia Yidao is not too villainous, at this time, to mention this stubble.

"Moreover, in recent years, I have been quite happy with the collection of jasper. Xu said that Uncle Zhou Fugui's own preferences and his pride, the smile on his face brightened a little, "You know, I have a few things on hand, but even the old man is full of praise." ”

"That's, that's. Ah San sent a sycophant by the way, and said, "Don't look at who you are, Uncle Zhou, you can play some famous places in any line of work." ”

"You kid......" Uncle Zhou Fugui shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said, "It's not easy to collect this business, no matter what kind of thing it is." In today's society, most people are chasing brilliant appearances, but they pay little attention to the emptiness of people's hearts, and are full of shrewd calculations, impetuous pursuits, and even cheap boasts, but they forget to keep their feet on the ground.

For this point, not only people in the industry like Jia Yidao and Ah San, but even people like Xiaoqian, who are still ignorant about antique collection, are also slightly embarrassed. This is not only an antique collection, but also other walks of life, but there is a similar situation.

As a kind of overall lack of the times, no industry can be completely free from vulgarity, and completely detached from the smell and utilitarian stains of commodities. The so-called indifference and reputation, seeing simplicity, upholding inner purity and quietness, and specializing in a plain life that follows nature has become a rare sight.

It's not something that a few people can change.

"That's right, Uncle Zhou. What will happen to others, or what will become of them when they enter the collecting industry. For the time being, it's not easy to say, and it's too far away for newbies like us. Jia Rudao said, "Even if there is close, it is nothing more than a bargain with the vendors on this side of the antique street." Or, just to see if the things you have collected are old, and every time you make a shot, whether they are 'eye-catching'. In fact, these can be avoided as much as possible by relying on the gradual growth of one's vision and the improvement of one's knowledge reserves. ”

"Indeed, collecting a line is exquisite, but it is more to see and less to shoot. Ah San nodded and said.

"So, I'm wondering, while Uncle Zhou is so interested today, can you tell us about the collection of beginners, what do we need to pay attention to?" Jia Rudao looked at Zhou Fugui's somewhat ruddy face, and couldn't help asking, "There is no need to talk too deeply, as long as you say something simple, we can use it quickly, and that's it......"

You must know that in-depth knowledge, not to mention these young people on the side who have just been a little interested in collecting, even beginners like Jia Nidao and Ah San, compared with Uncle Zhou Fugui, there is also a long gap.

Sometimes, time is a qualification!

Therefore, as soon as Jia Nidao's words fell, a few young people on the side naturally looked forward to it, after all, some of the things that Uncle Zhou Fugui just said, although they were very shocking, also made the few people present more vigilant, but they were too far away.

Not to mention a few people present, even some collectors, there is no special way to hear such words. It's not just a matter of talking. What can be done? If you don't enter the stream, then you will be eliminated.

People who like to collect, except for those who rely on the ancestors of the family to pass down some treasures, who doesn't want their own collection of things to become more and more valuable?

As the saying goes, the demand of the market has created the current situation. What's more, old things like that, there are things like that in ancient times!

"Hehe, in fact, I don't have anything special to say about antique collections. Uncle Zhou Fugui thought about it for a while and said, "The most exquisite thing about antique collection is that no one has it, and things are rare and expensive." Since Xiao Jia has brought it up, then, let me tell you a fact. It was still during the Cultural Revolution, when the 'Four Olds' used antique calligraphy and painting as feudal capital, or smashed or destroyed, a Wang Laohan in the north who made a living by collecting waste paper, but charged everyone's celebrity calligraphy and paintings at a price of two cents and five cents per kilogram, which was similar to a free gift.

At that time, his family was very incomprehensible to this move, thinking that gold in troubled times was antiques in prosperous times. At this time of the Cultural Revolution, collecting celebrity calligraphy and paintings was completely out of place. In today's view, two cents and five cents are certainly a little less, but at that time, two cents and five cents, although not much, was also an expense.

It's just that Wang Laohan, who has not studied for a few days and does not have much culture, thinks that when it comes to the peaceful and prosperous era, people will remember to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, so the price of antique calligraphy and painting will definitely rise. At that time, there are some celebrity calligraphy and paintings, even if you want to accept them, you still can't receive them.

So, after the end of the Cultural Revolution, he casually took out a few calligraphy and paintings, and made a lot of money, and for a while, the story of Wang Laohan became a topic of discussion among people in the antique collecting world......

Speaking of which, I don't know if you guys have any insights?"

"Uncle Zhou, your example is really just right. After a while, Jia Rudao nodded and said, "The most exquisite thing about antique collection is indeed that no one has it." Moreover, it is also based on your own interests and hobbies, but if you like it, then you will naturally have the value of your own liking. If you don't like it, even if the value is high, it doesn't have much to do with you. This is true not only in porcelain, but also in jadeite, calligraphy and painting. ”

"Well said. Ah San nodded and said, "Because of this, we should pay more attention to the category we are interested in. Let's just talk about me, because my love for porcelain is relatively strong, and my second grandfather is also a lover of porcelain collection, so when I usually have nothing to do on the antique street, I also look at porcelain. As for some others, what bronzes, calligraphy and paintings, etc., are also slightly involved, but not very deep, if you meet a good quality, you will naturally take a look, if you don't have your own favorite, you will generally pay little attention to it. ”

"Well, I like porcelain, too. "One of the people on the side, originally came to look for any good porcelain, ready to collect the young man, at this time when he heard Ah San's statement, he was naturally very excited, too much to meet the feeling of hating each other, and quickly walked to Ah San's side, said, "If you don't dislike it, in the future, if there is any kind of good things, let's communicate together, you see, how about it?"

"Oh, you mean, you're also a porcelain collector?" Ah San said curiously.

"Let's just say, I'm still a beginner. The young man smiled and said, "Your surname is Zhao, and your name is Yun." You can just call me Xiao Zhao, and that's it. ”

"Hehe, you heard it just now, everyone calls me Ah San. "Ah San is happy to make friends with people of the same age, especially he likes to collect porcelain. Otherwise, a person like Jia Yidao who had only met Ah San at a wine table would not have gotten along with him quickly, right?

"By the way, Xiao Zhao, this is Xiao Jia, don't look at him as old as us, but his family background is very rich. Since Xiao Jia is here this time, it is indispensable, and Xiao Jia needs to have a treat. Ah San pointed at Jia and said, "Xiao Jia, you shouldn't have an opinion, right?"

"You really don't mind setting me up at all. Jia Rudao was helpless, shrugged his shoulders, and said to Zhao Yun, "If you want to have a treat, you also need to look at the time, right?" Xiao Zhao, I see that you are here in the antique street, you look a little raw, do you rarely come here?"

"Hehe, I'm really not very familiar with this area. However, I recently got a job working at a pawn shop at the end of the antique street. So, in the future, I should gradually become familiar with this side of the antique street. Zhao Yun said with a smile.

"Pawn shop?" Jia Rudao was stunned for a moment, then he understood a little, nodded at Ah San, the two made eye contact, and Jia Rudao said to Zhao Yun, "If you dare to love us, we are still together." The people in the pawn shop, that is, the pawn master, are all good at appraisal. No wonder you and Ah San, this kid, have such similar interests. ”

"Xiao Jia, what you said is not right. Anyway, I also like porcelain, which is quite an elegant thing. Ah San pursed his lips and said, "Why does it come out of your mouth that it has a bit of a similar smell?"

"Hehe, this is what Ah San said yourself. Xiao Qian, who was on the side, suddenly made a grimace at Ah San. Ah San used her words just now, but the little girl didn't forget it, "The smell is like, giggling......"

"Yo, Xiaoqian. You haven't started working for your boss yet, so at this time, you're going to help Xiao Jia? I don't know if your boyfriend will be angry if you know......" As he spoke, Ah San suddenly saw that Xiaoqian's expression was a little wrong, and he immediately ran away from where he was standing.

Sure enough, as Ah San expected, Xiao Qian stretched out her hand and called, but she fell short, so she was naturally unwilling to take a break. All of a sudden, they chased Ah San, and the two began to quarrel.

Jia Yidao looked at it, and could only smile and shake his head, chuckling to himself.

And the other young people on the side may be familiar with Xiaoqian. At this time, Xiao Qian and Ah San chased after each other, naturally helping this Xiao Qian intentionally or unintentionally. Who makes the family a girl with such an advantage?

couldn't help but provoke Ah San's eyes one after another, and his mouth was still wantonly appealing: "You guys, you are all heavy color and light friends." After seeing me, will I help you check the porcelain...... When the time comes, I will deliberately tell you that the real thing is false, and the fake thing is true. I, I owe you ......"

In this way, the atmosphere between the crowd is more relaxed and freehand.

"That's right, Uncle Zhou. After today, these broken porcelain pieces, look, can you borrow me here again and continue to check them carefully?" Zhao Yun didn't notice Ah San's movements, but instead looked at these broken porcelain pieces spread out on the counter, and paid attention, "If I can, I can come over every afternoon or evening." If I think it's in the front of the store, I can go to the back of the store. ”
