Outside the fence in the southeast corner of the Panjiayuan thrift market, there is a nameless alley about 100 meters long, low bungalows, dilapidated bricks, and a circle of modern buildings around it, which seems to be a forgotten corner of the world.

The time was 7:50 in the morning, and Li Yi appeared at the entrance of the alley with a briefcase imitation of cowhide on his shoulder.

The first one at the mouth of the alley is a narrow storefront that operates the four treasures of the study, and before the door opens, the two dilapidated carved wooden doors are crooked and casually put together, and it seems that they will fall to the ground with a pull, and the shopkeeper is not afraid of being stolen?

The second storefront is a steamed bun shop, and in the early morning sun, white smoke from a steamer fills a distance of about ten meters. A few dirty, crooked tables, and a dozen diners gulping down buns blocked most of the alley.

Li Yi smelled the faint smell of stinky ditches mixed with the scent of steamed buns, frowned to avoid the sewage flowing on the ground, and walked into the alley.

The first thing that catches your eye is the two-story building with blue bricks and green tiles at the bottom of the alley, and it can be seen that the small building has just been painted, and there seems to be a trace of disharmony in this dilapidated alley. In front of the small building is a concrete fence about two meters high, and in the middle of the wall, two freshly painted red wooden doors are particularly glaring. A plaque on the door reads "Treasure Lecture Hall" in four neat regular characters.

"This is it."

The relatively clean road surface made Li Yi's steps brisk, and not paying attention to his feet also gave him more time to look at the scenery of the alley.

On the left-hand side, there is the fence of the thrift market, and on the right-hand side, there are five or six shops with similar facades to the alley, all of which have not yet opened, so there is really nothing to see, Li Yi quickly walked to the door of the treasure lecture hall.

The entrance of the small building is no more than five meters away from the courtyard gate, and there are three red banners hanging on it, the widest one reads "CCTV Treasure Appreciation Program Special Training Center", the next one reads "Yanjing Collection Association Best Training Center", and the bottom one is "Panjiayuan Market Designated Training Center".

It seems that the scale is not small, but it seems that the program of Jianbao is not CCTV, right? Li Yi blinked in confusion and stepped into the small building.

Knocking on the first office on his left, he saw the contact person this time, Wang Keshou, the general manager and principal of the Jianbao Lecture Hall, the director of the admissions office and the lecturer, a fat man in his forties, 1.75 meters tall, and weighing more than 250 pounds.

"Yo, Teacher Xiao Li is here!"

The fat man's small eyeballs hidden behind the thick lenses looked up and down at the young man in front of him, dressed in decent casual clothes, inch-long hairstyle, thick black eyebrows, straight nose bridge, slightly smart eyes under black-framed flat glasses, and a slightly thin cheek, giving people a feeling of mental ability.

The fly in the ointment is that the sparse stubble on the chin makes the whole person look a few years older than his actual age.

"Yes, yes, playing with the collection is about a deep, these glasses and beard are simply a stroke of genius, if your eyes can be more vicissitudes, it will be perfect."

The fat man looked down at his watch and said with a smile:

"It's just the right time, let's go to class first, and we'll talk later."

Li Yi followed the fat man up to the second floor and into a classroom facing the stairs.

In the classroom, there are six rows of freshly painted wooden tables and chairs, and more than 20 students are divided into several small groups chatting quietly, both men and women, young and old, and a few aunts have the loudest voices, which are also particularly conspicuous.

The two students sitting at the door saw the fat man and Li Yi coming in, and hurriedly reminded everyone to return to their positions.

The fat man walked up to the podium, coughed vigorously a few times, and said loudly:

"Welcome, warmly welcome the new and old students of the 198th session of Jianbao Lecture Hall! I am Wang Keshou, and I would like to introduce to you another lecturer in this issue, Mr. Li Yili, a master's student in jewelry and jade appreciation at the School of Jewelry of the University of Geosciences of the Republic of China, and a new appraiser of the Yanjing Jewelry and Jade Association! Everyone is welcome! ”

The applause rang out, and everyone's eyes turned to Li Yi in unison.

Li Yi tugged at the corners of his mouth, stiffly replied to everyone with a smile, and said:

"Hello everyone, I'm Li Yi. The theme of this training course is jewelry and jade appreciation, a total of 24 hours in three days, and President Wang and I will talk about it together......"

The fat man waved his hand, interrupted Li Yi's words, and said:

"Among the students this time, there are old students who have participated in the training of our treasure lecture hall for many periods, and there are also new students who come here. Old rule, let me brag a few words before the class starts. The drug advertisement is good, don't look at the advertisement to see the efficacy, we also have an advertisement, don't look at the charge to see the harvest! Jianbao Lecture Hall can stand out among the many training courses that are uneven, relying on word of mouth and excellent teaching quality! Old students know that in our past more than 100 training courses, almost every one of them has students who have successfully used the knowledge they have learned in the lecture hall to pick up the leaks! For example, the 37th student Li Rongfa Uncle Li, on the second day of graduation, bought a Qianlong blue and white eight-treasure pattern pot worth 1.28 million yuan at a price of 10,000 yuan in Panjiayuan, and Wang Hu, a student of the 96th class, ......"

The fat man talked endlessly for five minutes, citing at least twenty examples of missing outs, and as the fat man narrated, Li Yi noticed that the students' eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and their spirits were becoming more and more focused, and many of them were eager to try.

The fat man's expression was sacred and solemn, but the words he blurted out made Li Yi almost burst out laughing.

"Let's read it with me, Jianbao Lecture Hall, New Oriental in the collection world, Lan Xiang in the cultural and entertainment world!"

The morning lecture went very smoothly, and the students' concentration and hard work made even Li Yi, who had just finished his student career for more than ten years, feel ashamed.

The time soon came to noon, and after more than three hours of teaching, he was besieged by the students during the recess, which made Li Yi, who had not been rested, a little pale. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, said goodbye to the last enthusiastic aunt, and went downstairs to Wang Keshou's office.

"Principal Wang, I know that for the sake of the school, the qualifications of the lecturers can be appropriately exaggerated, but ......"

"Hehe, it's nothing, let me ask you, are you preparing for graduate school? Are you preparing to be a jewelry appraiser? That's it! With Mr. Xiao Li, your level, these are not easy to catch? I'm just announcing it in advance. ”

Li Yi grinned and hesitated:

"When I came, I saw the banner at the door, do we really have cooperation with CCTV?"

The fat man laughed three times, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"Mr. Xiao Li, as a future jewelry appraisal expert, your observation ability is not very good!"

"Huh?"

"I didn't write CCTV on the banner, I wrote cotv, but after a long time, only half of the O remained, but if you look closely at the traces left by the glue, you can still see that it is actually an O word."

"That ......"

"Yanjing has a collectors' association, but there is no collector's association! There are a lot of Panjiayuan markets, and I didn't write that it's a thrift market, what if it's a vegetable market? Okay, these are all conventional propaganda methods, everyone knows it, don't you see that even the students haven't asked? This little trick is compared to those tricks in the collecting world, pediatrics! ”

Looking at the hint of cunning implied in the fat man's serious face, the fledgling Li Yi was a little overwhelmed,

He decided to retreat first.

"Principal Wang, there are no classes in the afternoon, I want to go to the market to go around, and prepare more classes by the way, this group of students is so enthusiastic that I can't stand it!"

The fat man laughed heartily a few times and waved his hand,

"Okay, let's go, let's go, it's okay to go shopping for a while, just go straight to the classroom tomorrow."
