Chapter 475: The Day of the Graduation Defense
The broken porcelain was sorted out separately by Yu Lao and placed on a shelf in a room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Zhao Lao was anxious, seeing so many broken porcelain, many years of professional habits, made him involuntarily pick up the broken porcelain pieces in front of him and frowned.
With so many broken porcelain, it is impossible not to feel distressed.
There are also a lot of chrysanthemum disc fragments like just now, and if they can be restored, it will be another fine piece. There are also a lot of fine celadon of the same grade as the chrysanthemum plate just now.
It was the first time to face so many broken porcelain, and Zhao Lao also felt the pressure, picked it up piece by piece, and looked at it carefully.
"You two take a look first, I'll go back and bring the vase." Chen Zhengqian went out with a smile and told Zhang Zijie to keep the door and drive back to get things by himself.
Chen Zhengqian quickly brought the carved vase with blue and white glaze, and there were also some celadon fragments, presumably this old Mr. Zhao would not refuse.
When they saw this celadon vase, Zhao Lao and Yu Lao's eyes lit up.
The porcelain of the Song Dynasty, whether it is Longquan kiln or Jingdezhen kiln, whether it is celadon or white porcelain, bottle-shaped utensils are much rarer than other shapes.
Especially celadon, such a large celadon object, is really rare, and it is so complete and so new, Zhao Lao simply doubts whether it is a fraud in later generations.
But after careful identification by the two, it was finally determined that this was genuine.
Coming to such a conclusion, both of them breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Only Chen Zhengqian stood together, snickering in his heart, of course these things are true, no one knows better than him how these things came from. What has been buried in the sea for hundreds of years, how can it be a fake.
"I agreed. Mr. Zhao held the celadon vase, looked at it again and again, and finally reluctantly put it down and said to Chen Zhengqian.
Chen Zhengqian was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you, Elder Zhao." ”
It's really good, since Mr. Zhao has promised to stay, then if all the porcelain here can be restored, it will be a lot of wealth!
Zhao Lao shook his head: "No, I just can't bear to see so many cultural relics destroyed." There were so many cultural relics that were lost back then, and there were too many that were destroyed and sold abroad, and now they want to find them back, too late. Since you can have so many collections here, that's your ability, and I can help restore some of them, which can be regarded as accumulating merit. ”
Although I don't know what this old man experienced back then, Chen Zhengqian can still feel his sincerity.
So much better!
Old man Yu is also proud, after all, he can invite Old Zhao to come, and he also has a share of credit.
"Since Elder Zhao agrees to stay, then I will hire the two of you as my personal antique consultants. Chen Zhengqian said with a smile.
Nowadays, it's not popular for people to hire any consultants, and it's better to follow the trend themselves. If you hire two well-informed old gentlemen as your personal antique consultants, it will undoubtedly avoid many detours.
Then Chen Zhengqian asked again: "As for the salary, take the liberty of asking, do you have any requirements?"
To be honest, he doesn't know much about the salary issue in the antique industry, and there is no one around him who does this business, so it is better to let the two old gentlemen speak by themselves.
As long as it wasn't too much, Chen Zhengqian agreed.
"I have been eating my son's all these years, using my son's, how do I know how much the shopkeeper's salary is. You just look at it. Yu Lao said angrily.
are all over 70 people, why do you need so much money, it's good to be able to eat, drink and move. Otherwise, people die, and the money is not spent, how sad it is.
Zhao Lao also said: "I used to repair antiques in the capital, and I didn't have any fixed salary, all of which were commissions from customers. More or less twenty or thirty thousand a month, not much. You can give as much as you want, anyway, I plan to stay here for the time being, you just have to eat and live. ”
Chen Zhengqian couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't expect the two old-timers to have such low requirements.
To tell you the truth, this salary is really hard to set. At their level, they basically don't live on wages, if they fancy something, buy it back at a low price, and then sell it at a high price, they will earn more than a part-time job.
Chen Zhengqian smiled and said: "Then I will give the two of you a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan per month, and then give each of you an antique as a meeting gift, and how about giving you a big red envelope at the end of the year?"
This monthly salary is actually not too high, but since the two seniors asked for it themselves, and Chen Zhengqian asked for it, of course he had to pay some sincerity.
One person gives an antique, but for him, it is nothing. As for what kind of antiques to choose, they will naturally be measured.
Zhao Lao shook his head: "There is no need for a meeting gift, how can there be a reason to get paid by the owner before you start working." ”
Yu Lao also resolutely refused, and said: "But I hope that if we come across something we like and think it is valuable, you can help buy it." The money you spend is naturally yours, put it in this house, and let us see. ”
Chen Zhengqian naturally agreed to this small request. He doesn't come here often, and he has two old gentlemen to help take care of it, and he can't ask for it.
"In addition, if you can, it doesn't matter if you sell the ordinary ones, but some of the best grades, it's better to keep them, even if you want to sell them, it's not too late to sell them after I die in a few years. Old man Yu said with a sense of request.
Chen Zhengqian naturally agreed, of course he would not be stupid enough to sell the best ones, and now he is not short of money.
In this way, the two old gentlemen lived here with Chen Zhengqian.
Zhang Zijie helped buy two sets of bedding and daily necessities, and also added some living utensils and furniture, at least so that the two old gentlemen could live more comfortably.
In this way, Mr. Zhao lived here for a long time, and Yu Lao sometimes went home to see, and sometimes rested here.
As for Chen Zhengqian himself, he was idle. Occasionally send a few pieces of porcelain over there, or small items picked up by the treasure hunt mouse, and there is nothing else to do.
Soon it was time for the graduation defense.
For Chen Zhengqian, the graduation defense is not a difficult thing, just go through the procedure.
What really matters is that it is a graduation thesis, which is well written. Anyway, he didn't plan to get any excellent graduation theses or excellent graduates.
The defences are conducted sequentially. He was in room 415 on the fourth floor, the penultimate room in the corridor, with a total of 20 students, and he was in the middle.
Chen Zhengqian was not in a hurry, so he sat in the back row and watched the students of the same grade defend first. Some people were sprayed badly by the tutor of the defense team, and some people passed the test easily.
There are two classmates in his class who defended in the same classroom as him, but the order is different, and they are all behind him.
Soon it was Chen Zhengqian's turn.
