Chapter 215: The Collector of the Ghetto
Chapter 215 The Collector of the Ghetto
The people around looked at Li Yang with envy, even the shop owner who had just come out, the fat middle-aged man, was no exception.
Among Chen Lao's works, there are very few people who are specially nominated for others, and they can be counted with one hand, and this jade sweet potato specially marked as being signed for Li Yang is Chen Lao's sealing knife work, which is more significant. It can also be said that in all of Chen Lao's works, this jade sweet potato can already be listed as the top three, which is not just a matter of value.
"Okay, I've got some things to do, you guys can play here"
After Chen Lao finished speaking, he walked out, Li Yang and the others were stunned for a moment, and before they could figure out how to keep it, the fat middle-aged man had already run over.
"Uncle Chen, we juniors are waiting to listen to your teachings, why don't you rest here for a while?"
"Okay, my wish has been fulfilled, you can help me greet Li Yang Xiaoyou, I still have a few old friends to meet" Chen Lao waved his hand, and the person had already left Cuiyuxuan and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Uncle Chen's temper, please don't care"
The fat middle-aged man turned around and explained to Li Yang with a wry smile, Sima Lin was thoughtful, and suddenly asked, "Boss Zhang, what is the relationship between you and Old Chen?" ”
Sima Lin's words made Li Yang and the others all set their eyes on the fat middle-aged man, Chen Lao was willing to put his sealing sword work here, and he was so casual with this fat middle-aged man, if you want to say that it doesn't matter, everyone really doesn't believe it.
"To tell you the truth, my wife's surname is Chen, and she is Chen Lao's niece"
The fat middle-aged man said softly, but with a slight pride on his face, anyone with such a relative would probably be the same as him.
"I see, no wonder"
Sima Lin nodded immediately, Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin also looked at each other, they didn't know that this fat middle-aged man and Chen Wuji had such a close relationship, no wonder Chen Wuji's sealing knife work would be placed in his shop.
"By the way, Mr. Sima, have you heard about the nine consecutive rises here yesterday?"
The fat middle-aged man asked Sima Lin again, and his eyes kept looking at several people, and finally fell on Li Yang's body.
Li Yang's nine consecutive rises in the Jieshi District have been spread all over Jade Street, Li Yang and Zheng Kaida also left their names, the fat middle-aged man knew it yesterday, and all kinds of characteristics are consistent with the previous few people in front of him, and the fat middle-aged man has long suspected them.
But this morning, when the fat middle-aged man told Chen Lao about it, Chen Lao was not surprised at all, he just shook his head and smiled.
"I know, let Mr. Zhang smile"
Sima Lin suddenly raised his head and replied with a smile, the pride on his face was more obvious than that of a fat middle-aged man.
"Really, really you guys"
The fat middle-aged man was stunned, although he was already mentally prepared, but Sima Lin still felt a strong shock when he admitted it. Sima Lin's gambling stone level fat middle-aged man knew very well that if they could make this miracle on their own, they couldn't believe it if they killed him.
"Brother Sima, you have been hiding from your little brother so hard, I knew that my little brother went with you yesterday, and I could also get some of your nine consecutive rises."
The fat middle-aged man walked up to Li Yang again, with a bright smile on his face: "I really didn't expect that Little Brother Li was a real person who didn't show his face, and I was rude yesterday." You must give me a chance to compensate today, don't leave at noon today, I book a room in Yanming Building, and let me do my best to be a landlord."
"Boss Zhang, you are too polite"
Li Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head, but as soon as this fat middle-aged man said this, everyone obviously had a trace of closeness to him, this guy can make some achievements here, but not only rely on the support behind Chen Lao, he can't do it all the time in this fiercely competitive jade street without any level.
"That's it, if you want to get light, it's okay, we'll go to the stone in a while, just follow" Wang Haomin grinned, the fat middle-aged man showed a burst of surprise on his face, and nodded to thank Wang Haomin.
Li Yang hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and said softly: "Mr. Wang, Brother Sima, I won't go to Jieshi for a while, I want to go out to do some private things."
"Private matter, Brother Li, what private matter do you want to do?"
Wang Haomin's eyes widened, without Li Yang to follow, they really didn't have much confidence, especially him, after cutting three spans in a row yesterday, I don't know if he has the courage to hold the knife today.
"I understand, Brother Li, you go and do private business, we won't bother"
Zheng Kaida suddenly came up and grabbed Wang Haomin, and laughed softly. Zheng Kaida and Sima Lin both knew the agreement between Li Yang and An's, and thought that Li Yang was going to discuss the matter of the Dagong Pan with An's people.
And Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin looked at Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli, with a sudden smile on their faces, and several people had different understandings.
Looking at their expressions, Li Yang knew that they wanted to be crooked, but he didn't think to explain, and left with the jade sweet potato after saying goodbye to a few people. There is a safe in the car, and the jade sweet potato is very safe in it, this piece of old man's sealing knife Li Yang didn't plan to send it home so early, first play with it himself, and then talk about it, such a beautiful carving will never get tired of seeing it.
"Brother Li, where are we going?"
After getting into the car, Liu Gang took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat, and Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli both sat in the back.
"Let's go here"
Li Yang took out the address in his pocket and gave it to Liu Gang, and then began to look carefully at the jade carving in his hand, compared with yesterday, Chen Lao obviously cleaned up again, after all, this jade carving has always been placed outside, and when Li Yang saw it yesterday, there was more or less dust on it.
The cleaned jade carving obviously has a special jade-like brightness, and does not lose the simplicity of the sweet potato itself, this work is also a rare modern jade carving boutique when looking at the world.
Liu Gang glanced at the address, entered the address on the navigation, and drove towards the place on the note.
After nearly an hour, Li Yang and the others came to a scattered bungalow area, and when they got out of the car, Li Yang looked around in disbelief.
The streets here have obviously not been repaired for a long time, some of them are potholed, compared to the high-rise buildings in the city, this is simply a civilian area, the old man held a collection worth 30,000 yuan yesterday, no matter how he looks like the people who live here.
According to the address, Li Yang and the others finally found an iron door, and the wall next to the door was still covered with broken glass.
Looking at this very ordinary door, Li Yang shook his head slightly, and finally reached out and knocked on the door, knocking several times before an old voice came from inside.
"Who?"
As soon as he heard this voice, Li Yang knew that they had not come to the wrong place, and this voice was indeed from the old man yesterday.
"Hello old man, it's me"
Li Yang shouted, and after a while, the iron door opened from the inside, and the old man was still wearing yesterday's clothes and appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing that the old man Li Yang was obviously stunned, he immediately said happily: "It's you, hurry, hurry, come in and sit, I really want to thank you for yesterday's incident."
The old man was very enthusiastic and led Li Yang and them into the courtyard.
It's an old-fashioned side house, and across the door is the main room, which has three main rooms, and there are two side rooms next to the main room, one is the kitchen and the other I don't know what it's for. In addition, the yard is very simple, and there are some miscellaneous items piled up on the wall, unlike other homes where some vegetables, flowers and other things are grown.
"Come in, come in and sit"
Seeing Li Yang and them all standing in the courtyard, the old man beckoned them into the living room at the main entrance, as soon as they walked into the living room, Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli stayed there, and the old man beckoned Li Yang and them to sit on the Taishi chair in the living room, and ran to the side to pour water.
"It can't be, right?"
Wu Xiaoli looked around blankly, there was no modern furniture in the living room, except for the Eight Immortals table and Taishi chair they were sitting on, there were shelves layer by layer, which were full of things, including porcelain, terracotta figurines, bronzes and other things, and every thing had a lot of years.
It can also be said that the things in this room are all antiques.
Li Yang was also stunned by the scene in front of him, and after looking around, he quietly used his special ability, and then opened his mouth wide.
The things in this room are basically multi-layered apertures, even the chairs under their butts. The few things that are not also have a special significance, and the whole room is full of things that are close to opening a small museum.
"Drink tea, drink tea"
The old man had already made tea and walked out, and when he saw Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli's shocked appearance, he just smiled, as if there was no accident at all.
"Old man, these are all in your collection?"
Li Yang took the water cup and asked in surprise, Wu Xiaoli also looked at the old man. Li Yang felt the real sadness of the old man yesterday and thought of coming to see it today, but he didn't expect to see this incredible scene.
"yes, that's my entire collection for over thirty years, how about it?"
The old man replied with a smile, picked up a purple clay pot casually, and kept rubbing it in his hand.
"Awesome, admire"
Wu Xiaoli's expression immediately became very serious, she really hadn't seen so many personal collections, not even her grandfather Liu Xuesong.
Li Yang has seen more and better collections than this, but those are all He Lao's things. He Lao's worth and status are much higher than the old man in front of him, looking at the house where the old man lives, it is hard to believe that these are all things collected by this old man.
"There's nothing to admire about this, it's just that I usually like this, and I gradually became addicted, and slowly accumulated so much"
The old man shook his head slightly, and there was still a hint of loneliness in his eyes when he spoke, but as soon as he saw the collectibles around him, his expression immediately recovered, and his eyes were full of satisfaction and love.
At this time, Li Yang already understood why the old man could bring him a sad feeling yesterday, this old man has a different feeling for his collections, these collections are like his relatives, they are cared for by him every day, and when something goes wrong, it is naturally very heartbroken.
The old man in front of him must be a person who is extremely persistent in collecting, otherwise he would not have been able to accumulate so many good things.
