In the afternoon, Chen Ran was moving. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network
Chen Ran's daily necessities are not many, but there are a lot of sundries.
Moving to a new house and changing to a new environment, although Chen Ran was reluctant, he still gave up some old things, but even so, there were still a lot of things, he directly called a car, and then pulled it over all at once.
By the time Chen Ran packed up the first qiē, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and then he went to the supermarket to buy some shopping, although there were all the things in the apartment, but some things were obviously better to buy new ones by himself, such as furniture such as pots and pans.
The dinner was made by Chen Ran himself, arguing with an egg, tomato and a potato and shredded meat, the food he cooked was naturally more fragrant than that eaten in the restaurant outside, and Chen Ran ate the rice and vegetables alone.
For a whole day, Chen Ran was not idle, the whole person was tired, and after eating, he lay directly on the comfortable Simmons bed......
It's tiring, but it's satisfying......
This night, Chen Ran slept soundly.
"Boss, where is the collection of books in our bookstore?" Early the next morning, Chen Ran came to the Xinhua Bookstore in Zhongdu. Before going to bed last night, Chen Ran thought a lot, a lot...... I also have some plans for my future path.
Since God has given me a chance, then I must seize it tightly.
However, the special ability to predict the future in a dream is not guaranteed that he will always have it, and he can't say when it will suddenly disappear. Chen Ran had to consider this possibility, and whether he disappeared or not, Chen Ran felt the need to enrich himself.
Before this, although Chen Ran had been working in the antique city, he didn't actually understand antiques, but he just felt a little mysterious, and this time he got the old birthday pendant, and he got a huge amount of money, which undoubtedly made him experience the charm of antiques.
This charm deeply attracted Chen Ran, and for a while, he was full of yearning for antiques.
"Yes, at counter eight." The cashier of the bookstore replied without raising his head that since the return on investment of art surpassed that of stocks and real estate to become the third largest industry, many investors have set their sights on the antique market, and correspondingly, the originally unpopular collectible books have also sold hotly.
Chen Ran swept his eyes and came directly to the No. 8 counter, he looked casually, and found that the entire bookshelf was antique, such as Zhao Licheng's "Chinese Ming Dynasty Porcelain Catalogue", Hua Ling's "Ancient Ceramics", Xu Guang's "Chinese Ancient Money Catalogue" and so on.
At first glance, it is dazzling. In other aspects, Chen Ran didn't know much about it, so he casually took a copy of Wang Jingzhi's "Appreciating Ancient Jade". As a jade carver, you must first learn to identify jade.
At this point, Chen Ran can be regarded as barely getting started, but what he knows is only the material for identifying jade, but he doesn't know much about ancient jade, of course, some methods of identifying ancient jade, he also knows some of them.
Judging from the archaeological unearthed objects and the collection materials of many cultural and museum systems, each historical period of ancient jade has its own unique ornamental characteristics, and mastering these ornamental characteristics is an important magic weapon to identify ancient jade.
In addition, any piece of real ancient jade contains a high degree of artistry and ornamentation, and it is impossible for modern machine workers to completely imitate the handiwork, which has become one of the most important ways to identify the authenticity of artifacts.
The difference between ancient jade and modern jade is that the artistic charm of ancient jade embodies the technical level of ancient jade carvers from painting to design to carving.
Wholeheartedly devoting himself to the processing of each piece of jade, regardless of working hours, and only seeking quality, the professionalism is incomparable to modern people. The god of ancient jade and the level of craftsmanship of ancient jade are also incomparable to modern jade-making workers who are impetuous and only want to make money.
In addition, in the past, jade-making may have been an individual workshop or a family unit, which not only required jade workers to have a good level of design and painting skills, but also skilled processing technology. Unlike now, design and processing are disjointed, the design will not be processed, and the processed will not be designed, and it is divided into two separate professions, designers and jade carvers.
The ancients made jade by hand, and its difficulty is beyond imagination, and it is precisely because the ancients made it by hand, so the carved ancient jade is flexible and flexible. However, this technique of making jade by the ancients has long been lost, and it is impossible to restore it again, and it has become a peerless skill, which is also known as the end of ancient jade culture, which makes countless collectors regret it.
Chen Ran flipped through a few pages of "Appreciating Ancient Jade" and was attracted by its contents, and when he was about to buy the book back and read it again, his expression was suddenly stunned, and for some reason, he found that his memory had improved a lot, like what he had just read, he could almost remember it, as if it was imprinted in his mind.
But he didn't think much of it, just thought it was the reason why he was interested.
Putting down this book, Chen Ran looked for "Identification of Bloodstone", "Identification of Jade", "Identification of Ancient Seals", "Identification of Tianhuang", "Identification of Blue and White Porcelain", "Purple Sand Teapot", "Ancient Chinese Coins" and so on, and he picked one or two books for almost every category.
In addition to these, he also deliberately bought all the periodicals of the "Collecting World", the antique industry, not only to know how to identify, but also to understand the latest developments in the antique market at all times, just like the auction house of Christie's in London "Guiguzi descending the mountain" Yuan Dynasty blue and white jar in the auction price of 267 million yuan, the blue and white porcelain immediately rose in fame, and the price was doubled exponentially.
Magazines like Collectors have many auction houses with estimates of the items auctioned by auction houses, as well as auction prices.
"How much is it?" After choosing, Chen Ran came to the cashier with a large pile of books.
The cashier glanced at him in surprise, but his movements were not slow, and he quickly calculated: "I can give you a 20% discount, a total of 528 yuan." ”
……
In the following time, Chen Ran has been immersed in the sea of books, and he found that his memory has indeed improved a lot, although it is not unforgettable, but it is not much worse, and his brain seems to be much better, and when he thinks about problems, his thoughts are unusually clear.
Whenever he had a little realization, he had a feeling of eagerness to try it in his heart, as if he couldn't wait to experience it firsthand, and even had an urge to go to the antique city immediately.
In the end, Chen Ran suppressed this impulse, and now is not the time.
All afternoon, Chen Ran didn't go out, he kept reading, and even forgot the time until he was woken up by the phone.
"Come out and drink with me." After the phone was connected, Gao Qiang's words came, and then he was hung up directly, without even mentioning where to eat or where to meet, which made Chen Ran a little stunned, but he also understood that Gao Qiang's mood must be very bad, so he had to call again.
The two of them met at the intersection of the North Ring Cultural Road, and when they met, before Chen Ran could speak, Gao Qiang opened his mouth first: "If you are a brother, don't ask anything, don't say anything, get drunk tonight!" After speaking, he looked at Chen Ran again: "What have you been doing these two days?" ”
"Busy moving." Chen Ran wisely chose to keep his doubts in his heart, he knew that even if he knew about the trouble Gao Qiang encountered, he would not be able to help.
"It's time for a new environment."
Gao Qiang nodded and patted Chen Ran on the shoulder: "Let's go!" ”
The two of them didn't go to the hotel, they ate in a charcoal pot fish shop, compared to the previous meeting, Gao Qiang was more silent this time, but he still kept asking about Chen Ran's situation, and Chen Ran also answered cooperatively in order to relieve his boredom.
"What are you going to do in the future? Do you still want to be a jade carver? After Gao Qiang learned about Chen Ran's situation, he asked.
Chen Ran thought about it, and finally nodded.
The ability to predict the future in a dream, no one can say anything about it, even if you rely on this to pick up the leak, you have to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and it is better to have an identity to cover it up on the surface.
"This line of work is not easy to do, if you want to get ahead, you must have someone above, especially in the Jade Association!" Gao Qiang raised his head and poured a sip of liquor, then said with a slight frown.
"I'll learn slowly." Chen Ran didn't think so far, for him, the Jade Association was a bit far away.
The Jade Association belongs to the branch of the China Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Industry Association, and the certificate of the jade carver is issued by this association, which is very authoritative in the jade carver's industry and even the entire antique market.
At present, Chen Ran is still an undocumented person.
"I'll figure it out for you." Although Gao Qiang himself didn't have a clue, he was still ready to find a way to help Chen Ran, and at this time, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Chen Ran: "By the way, I almost forgot about it, won't the Provincial Jade Carving Craft Vocational Skills Newcomer Competition start selection next month?" I heard that the first place winner will be recommended to join the Jade Association! ”
Chen Ran's heart suddenly moved......
In the end, the two of them did not get drunk at once, although they drank a lot, they were not drunk, and after this drinking, the relationship between Chen Ran and Gao Qiang was obviously deeper.
In fact, at this moment, Gao Qiang regarded Chen Ran as his true friend in his heart, although Chen Ran didn't talk much, but he could always talk about his heart, and the resentment in his stomach was almost gone.
At night, the middle city is like a slowly cooling weather, no longer boiling, the traffic and pedestrians on the street are decreasing, and the lights are shining on the road, stretching Chen Ran's shadow long, like an unreal dream.
Chen Ran walked back slowly, still thinking about the knowledge of antiques and the jade carving newcomer contest in his mind, Liang Bo's sudden death naturally made him miss out on the jade carving master, and now this newcomer contest is undoubtedly his chance to get ahead!
Chen Ran thought as he walked, but he didn't notice that since he entered the community, a girl walking in front of him looked back at him cautiously from time to time......
