Chapter 1: Picking up leaks
"Xiao Ning, I'm here to pick up the leak again. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The middle-aged man greeted her familiarly when he saw Suning.
"Yes, Uncle Zhang, I'll take a look, you know, I'm just so fond of it." Suning said to Uncle Zhang with a smile.
Uncle Zhang, formerly known as Zhang Yuzhe, is the shopkeeper of Qibao Zhai, Suning and he have known each other for more than a year, the two seem to be friends but not friends, and Uncle Zhang also takes care of Suning. And this Uncle Zhang is in the antique world, but there is a legend that has to be said.
Most people who know about the antique industry know that antiques are the foundation, and those who do antique business are also passed down from generation to generation.
I'm afraid no one would believe that Uncle Zhang, a person who has never been in contact with antiques, finally became one of the discursors in the antique world. Uncle Zhang, with the scholarship issued by the school, bought an antique, he was originally just a girlfriend's father likes antiques, so he relentlessly wants to buy an antique to please his future father-in-law? But in the end, his future father-in-law looked away, felt that it was an imitation, and humiliated Uncle Zhang fiercely, and his girlfriend broke up with him for this, sad, sad, angry, and other emotions suddenly hugged Uncle Zhang's heart. Impulsively, he took the antique and ran back to find the boss who bought something for him, and the two were in a quarrel, and were met by an expert in the antique industry, who recognized that the antique that Uncle Zhang bought was real, and immediately made a bid with Uncle Zhang to buy the antique. Uncle Zhang, who was in lovelorn, deceived, humiliated, and emotional, heard that someone paid a lot of money to buy it from him, he must have agreed without saying a word, let alone buying it, even if he asked him, he would give it, anyway, it was an imitation, he didn't take the price given by that person seriously at first. It wasn't until the person asked him for the account number that he became suspicious and gave him an account number with no money, thinking to himself, even if you want to cheat money, I don't have money in my card, and it's useless for you to get the account number. The antique was also taken away by the man, because he didn't want to see the antique at all, and it wasn't until he returned home and saw the extra zeros on the account that he dared to believe that the man had not lied to him.
Uncle Zhang, who became rich overnight, was ecstatic, and just wanted to tell the news to his ex-girlfriend's father, wanting to see his expression of remorse, but Uncle Zhang, who had calmed down, thought about it and decided not to tell anyone, and made a bold decision.
He began to stop interacting with friends, was alone, was very interested in antiques, bought a lot of books to read, and would often go to the antique market to pick up leaks.
Just like he did before, an antique of low value has multiplied its value several times after it has been identified as genuine, which is known as a leak in the antique world.
I don't know if Uncle Zhang has this talent or other reasons, slowly his identification of antiques is becoming more and more accurate, and he is also well-known in the antique world.
In the antique industry, there is an old saying: "If you don't open for three years, you will eat for three years." "Uncle Zhang, who had no business at the beginning, couldn't afford to spend it with those who had a big business, and had no choice but to go off the rails with a sword, or find an investor, and the honest Uncle Zhang didn't want to do anything to deceive people, so he thought of the person who bought his antique, and persuaded him after many difficulties, and the two partnered to open "Qi Bao Zhai"
Although the store has opened, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and it is impossible to go smoothly, but Qi Bao Zhai is still there, which is enough to show that Uncle Zhang is not simple.
The legendary story of Uncle Zhang spread in the antique world, and many imitators popped up for a while, but not everyone was so lucky. So far, only Uncle Zhang has stayed alone, which can show the cruelty of this line.
Uncle Zhang's oral evaluation in the antique market has always been the best, as long as you have something good, buy in Uncle Zhang's shop, it is the least likely to suffer, not that Uncle Zhang will not do business, but among his peers, it is the most cost-effective to buy and sell in Uncle Zhang, plus Uncle Zhang is sleek and sleek, not only does not exclude peers, but also has this heavier right to speak in peers. At this point, Suning admires Uncle Zhang more.
"Today's young people, the one who picks up the leakage is not for money, and wants to get rich overnight, and there are few people like you who are just simple collectors." Uncle Zhang looked at Suning and said with emotion.
Suning smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, when it comes to picking up leaks, no one can compare with you, every time I hear someone tell me your story, I can't help but admire." Suning said sincerely.
Hehe, in today's society, who doesn't have a plan, including me, it's just that some people have obvious pictures, and some people hide them, and no one can look down on anyone. Suning sighed in his heart, looking at Uncle Zhang, an ordinary body, if it wasn't for people he knew, he might be looked down upon, but here, who would have thought that the more ordinary people are, the more they can't ignore the existence here, in this industry, who can ignore Uncle Zhang's words. I couldn't help but shake my head, life is impermanent.
As for why she likes antiques and why she comes to pick up leaks, there is a bizarre story.
I remember the first time I came here, or because I had a friend's grandfather's birthday, his grandfather liked antiques, he called Suning to come here to help him come up with an idea, the first time he came to contact Suning here, when he was shopping with him, he inadvertently felt that there was something to connect with her, although this feeling is very weak, it is estimated that it is also because of the close relationship, it was sensed, and he was full of interest and curiosity about this situation that has never appeared on him, so he walked around a few stalls nearby, It was really found by Suning, it is a ring, it looks very old, and I can't tell what age it is, but there are some messy lines on the ring, if you look closely, these lines are messy, you can still see that they are in order, as if there is a connection between the lines and the lines. Suning was very curious about the ring, and looking at these lines, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with it. I want to buy the ring and study it, "Boss, how do you sell this ring?" The boss glanced at it casually, he was busy fooling another customer at this time, the antique that this customer was looking at was a vase, it was estimated that it was completed, and the boss could make a lot of money, so he didn't have time to take care of Suning, "That ring is one thousand and five." The boss casually quoted a price, and Suning felt that the price was very arbitrary. Suning, who doesn't know how to bargain, took out a card and handed it to the boss, the boss glanced at the card, and motioned to the boss of the stall next to him to help swipe the card, from beginning to end, the boss didn't take care of Suning, which made Suning's heart a little unhappy, he bought things, and so did I, isn't it that he is older than me, and the things he sees are more expensive than mine, why such an attitude, snobbery, if it's just an ordinary ring, see if I don't shake my hands and leave.
Suning held the ring and felt a little excited in the depths of his soul, this mysterious feeling from the soul made Suning very curious, and then he became even more curious about this unsightly ring.
When he got home, Suning studied the ring, trying to figure out what magic was about the ring, roasting it with fire, smashing it with a hammer, and even taking it to a jewelry store to want to recast it. The more this happens, the more it highlights the magic of the ring, and I want to understand it, but I don't know where to start.
Until one time, the blood from Suning's wound touched the ring, the blood invaded the ring, and slowly disappeared, Suning also had a headache, after a while, Suning knew the secret of the ring, and at the moment when the blood disappeared, Suning's soul became more excited, and at the same time conveyed the news about the ring.
Suning looked at the ring on the table, and couldn't believe it, this was the space ring in Xiuxian's novels, and this kind of thing that shouldn't exist in the world really existed.
Looking straight at the ring, Suning didn't dare to reach out to take it, for fear that this was a dream he had, but this dream was too real.
I don't know how long it has passed, Suning finally accepted this inquiry, she really wanted to try if this space ring could really store things, but unfortunately she didn't have aura, she couldn't open the ring, and she was a little disappointed. As for the information about the ring, don't ask her how she knows, anyway, after a headache at that time, she knew the information about the ring.
In this way, Suning knew that there were people who cultivated immortals in this world, and there were also space rings and magic weapons in the novels of cultivating immortals, Suning was very curious about cultivating immortals, and she even had a strange feeling that she was very familiar with cultivating immortals. It's as if she's lived in the cultivation realm, but there is nothing certain to trigger, and she can't remember everything about cultivation. Inadvertently triggered the Space Ring, causing the Space Ring to recognize its owner, so all she had in her mind now was all the information about the ring, and everything else was blank. In order to learn more about the cultivation realm, Suning wanted to get more items about cultivation to reveal the secrets of his body.
The space ring was found in the antique market, and Suning felt that he might be able to find other items related to the cultivation realm in it, so he liked to go to the antique market to shop around and find more things related to the cultivation of immortals.
Although she knew that she was very lucky to get this ring this time, the scarcity of things in the cultivation realm, but she always held that luck thinking that if she could find it once, she would definitely be able to find it next time, and she also had a cheating artifact, that is, the magical induction of immortal cultivation items.
Returned empty-handed again and again, Suning was very disappointed, in order to hide his purpose, he had to buy a few antiques, over time, Suning became a household name in the antique street, some people saw Suning at a young age and treated her as a big wrongdoer, and wanted to slaughter her, so they shouted at the price of the things she asked, and blew the origin of the things into a mess, the funny thing is that Suning's purpose is to pick up the leak, but this leak is not the other to pick up the leak, the vendor naturally can't be satisfied, Suning heard that the price is high, and he won't buy it. Some people saw that Suning was not deceived, felt that she was a little malleable, and also wanted to teach him, Uncle Zhang is this kind of person.
People like Uncle Zhang later told Suning that many people slaughtered her as a fat sheep at that time, Suning laughed when she heard it, but she was afraid for a while when she thought about it, if she really bought antiques, she would not be able to cheat any pocket money she had, and she would be sold and steal fun. At the same time, I was also lucky to meet Uncle Zhang and them. This is a very coincidental and wonderful misunderstanding.
Suning walked into Uncle Zhang's shop, and walked towards a bunch of antiques familiarly, this is the place where Suning must come every time, the things on the display cabinet are very expensive, and I can't afford it, so I can only look at these gadgets, here are some antiques that are damaged or have been determined not to be antiques but still have a little collection value, the volume is not very large, the price is not high, just a few hundred yuan, completely affordable, there are also people who have identified the real products that look away, Suning feels that this is called a real leak, unlike the one on the showcase, which is a collection, not a leak.
Suning's eyes scanned the antique, and if he saw something he liked or didn't know, he would pick it up and take a look, and use the method taught by Uncle Zhang to identify the age, whether it was genuine or fake.
At this time, Suning saw a huge bead, which felt like a night pearl on TV, so he reached out and picked it up, and the contact of his body sent out that induction from his soul.
Suning looked at the bead in her hand, she knew that this bead must be something from the cultivation realm, maybe something more anti-heaven than the space ring, so she hurriedly hid the joy in her eyes, and pretended to ask casually: "Uncle Zhang, is this the pearl of the night?" He asked, holding up the bead he was holding.
Uncle Zhang looked at the bead in Suning's hand, and said indifferently: "It's just an ordinary bead, at first I thought it was a night pearl, but after identification, it was found to be an ordinary bead, which has no value, so I will give it to you if you like it." ”
"Uncle Zhang, you also know my habits." As he spoke, he put down the beads in his hand and made it look like he was going to leave.
"Forget it, you're just a stubborn temper, you give a thousand dollars, this is down, right?" Uncle Zhang said helplessly. Because he has also sent some small things before, but every time Suning pays for it, Uncle Zhang also asked Suning why.
At that time, Suning replied: "Uncle Zhang, there is no merit, and you are in business, I am a consumer, you will lose money if you do this, you are unconscious, then only I am conscious, if you are giving me a holiday, I still have a reason to tell myself that this is a holiday gift, but it is not a holiday, and I have not helped you anything, give it to me for no reason, I definitely can't accept it." ”
Uncle Zhang listened to Suning's words, and sighed in his heart, such a simple truth, and a person younger than himself to wake up, it is really in vain. So I also made friends with Suning, and I usually pointed out some antique knowledge to Suning.
Suning was a little moved when he heard Uncle Zhang's offer, knowing that he was unwilling to accept the gift, and he saw the price she could accept, and he was not willing to hurt her self-esteem, so he offered such a price, don't be embarrassed to refuse the price, Uncle Zhang is thinking about taking care of himself. The nose was a little sore, no one had thought so much about himself for a long time, and tears were rolling in his eyes.
Thinking that Uncle Zhang saw her crying, he would definitely be worried, and inadvertently wiped his tears with a feint.
After giving the money happily, Suning was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions when chatting with Uncle Zhang, so he said a few words casually and found an excuse to leave.
