Looking at this table, Li Mobai suspected that this was a distribution center for making fakes, but Li Mobai had always believed in his eyes, and the few things he saw in front of him were genuine.

Looking at Gao Qiang's hard work, Li Mobai was still a little puzzled, how could this table be so heavy, so he paid attention, and when he moved closer, he found that it was a rosewood table.

This is a typical square table of the Qing Dynasty, although there is no rich and gorgeous atmosphere of Qing Dynasty furniture, but it does not lose the atmosphere of vigor and solemnity, the purple-black natural wood is delicate and smooth, although after many years of use, but there is no slightest damage, the pulp is bright and steady, and it can be seen at a glance that it is often used.

"Gao Qiang, your table is also an ancestral heirloom?" Li Mobai rubbed his hands on the tabletop, feeling the incomparable texture of rosewood, and asked casually.

Surprised is surprised, but Li Mobai is not very interested in furniture and other things, but Li Mobai is not interested does not mean that Li Mobai will let it go when he sees it, the old man at home is a lover of rosewood furniture.

Gao Qiang was in a very good mood at this time, and didn't pay attention to the change in Li Mobai's expression just now, "Yes, I've been eating at this table since I was a child, and I don't usually move, it's too heavy, and there are several chairs in the back room, which are also old and heavy." ”

Li Mobai was extremely depressed when he heard this, he was really holding the gold ingots but had no money to spend, and he didn't know what to say, "Xiao Gao, do you have any other things that you have used since you were a child?" ”

When Li Mobai asked this, he obviously forgot the 'kimchi jar' that Gao Qiang had brought out just now.

"There's nothing else, but the bed I slept on was also the one I've slept on since I was a child." Gao Qiang didn't pay attention to what Li Mobai had already asked at this time, and thought he was caring about himself.

"Uh, after eating, you can take me to see it." Li Mobai said in his heart Isn't this place all about kang, how can you also use beds, it seems that it is really full of knowledge, and he didn't immediately look at the curiosity in his heart, after all, he was already a little hungry at this time.

Eating pure chicken stewed mushrooms, Li Mobai knew that Gao Qiang's mother had killed a chicken just now, no wonder he heard a chicken crowing just now, but thinking about it, he didn't lose to Gao Qiang's family, after all, 500,000 is already an astronomical amount for Gao Qiang's family, which is enough to change the current embarrassing status quo.

Although the taste of chicken stewed mushrooms is very pure, the chairs and the bed where Gao Qiang slept are more attractive, but fortunately, Gao Qiang is not very old and has not drunk, and after eating quickly, Li Mobai said, "Gao Qiang, take me to see the chair and bed you just said." ”

When he came to the wing room and found that there was really a bed in this wing room, Li Mobai couldn't help but wonder, "Xiao Gao, isn't the bed cold?" How is there no resistance? ”

"I only sleep on the kang in winter, and I sleep on this bed in the summer, which is much cooler than the kang!" Gao Qiang pulled the futon on the bed and said, "That's it." ”

Li Mobai took a closer look, and found that this is a bed, it is clearly a case, and he took a closer look under the lamp, and found that it was also made of rosewood, and he was surprised in his heart, this small mountain village is amazing, there must be a story, maybe the answer to the story can be found from the stone tablet.

Stretched out his hand to check it, but this case did not move at all, Li Mobai looked at it confidently again, and found that the workmanship of this chapter was quite good, but because Li Mobai has never paid much attention to furniture, knowing that this is the style of furniture in the Qing Dynasty, he looked at the chair that Gao Qiang said, and found that it was four red sandalwood armchairs with very fine workmanship. The price will fly up like a rocket.

After thinking about it, Li Mobai didn't look at it anymore, walked out, and didn't speak, until he sat down, "Gao Qiang, you are a rich man now, what are you going to do in the future?" ”

Gao Qiang suddenly heard this question, and some didn't react, and he was silent for a while before saying, "See my mother first, and then ask my father not to work outside." ”

Li Mobai felt quite bad when he heard this, and he always felt that he was doing something to pit people, but his interest in antiques always warned him that good things must be taken, they don't understand, and it would be a waste to put them here.

"Gao Qiang, I want this table and the four chairs, as well as the bed you sleep in, I want it, tell me how much money you want?"

Gao Qiang was directly stunned when he heard this, this Expert Li even looked at the table where he ate, and the bed he slept on was nothing special except for the weight, and after thinking about it, he said, "Expert Li, are these antiques?" ”

"Of course, if it's not an antique, I won't ask for it." Li Mobai didn't want to lie, but directly told Gao Qiang that these were antiques.

"Are all antiques as valuable as they say on TV?" Gao Qiang asked again.

When Li Mobai heard this, he said in his heart whether this kid is innocent or scheming, "How can I say it, some antiques are worth tens of millions, and some antiques are not even worth thousands of yuan, do you understand when I say this?" ”

"I still don't understand, Expert Li, the money for the incense burner you bought just now is enough for my family. This table and chair can be given to you, Expert Li, but I have a request? Gao Qiang thought for a moment.

"Hehe, I don't dare to ask for it if you give it to me, what do you want?" Li Mobai smiled, and said in his heart that this kid didn't know about these pieces of furniture, so he was happy to say it.

"I want to learn antiques with you." Gao Qiang said very seriously.

"What? Do you want to learn antiques? Li Mobai asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Yes, Expert Li, can you teach me?" Gao Qiang looked serious, without any joke.

"Gao Qiang, if I told you the value of this table and chair, would you still insist on studying? You have to think about it! ”

"I want to learn antiques, no matter how much it's worth, I'll give it to you, Expert Li."

"Uh, if I tell you that this square table, that case is the bed you said, and the 4 chairs are worth more than 3 million together, will you give them to me?" Li Mobai asked again.

Gao Qiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect it to be worth so much money, his face changed a few times, and after a while, he said, "Expert Li, as long as you teach me to learn antiques, I am willing to give it to you!" ”

Li Mobai was also taken aback when he heard this, 3 million yuan is not a stick of Korean won, if you are in the countryside, you can live a comfortable life, this kid actually made a decision in a moment, "Gao Qiang, why do you want to study antiques?" ”

"Well, I think money will always run out, and there is a skill that can never be short of money for the rest of your life." Gao Qiang thought for a while.

Li Mobai's heart was sour when he heard this, it seems that this kid is poor and afraid, and when he sees an opportunity to make money, he persistently hopes that he can be the same, and he will finalize the transaction of hundreds of thousands of dollars in words and live the life of a rich man.

"Gao Qiang, if you want to study, I will teach you, but not now, I suggest that you go to the university to learn history or archaeology for a few years before deciding. As for these pieces of furniture, if you are willing to sell, I am willing to buy it for 3 million, which is enough for you to improve your family's life, and you can also go to university for a few years, so that you will not regret it in the future, antiques are not what you want to learn, antiques do not allow you to live the life you want, many people are bankrupt because of antiques. ”

It's not that Li Mobai is unwilling to teach, but the antique industry, not ordinary people can get involved, play tickets, spend thousands of eight hundred to buy a gadget, and cultivate love is elegant, but people who don't know how to spend tens of millions of dollars to play, either they are fools, or they have nowhere to spend too much money.

Although antiques are an investment, the bubble in them is even bigger than the stock market, and the so-called value is just speculation by unscrupulous businessmen, and has little to do with the value of the antique itself. Players who often take over antiques at sky-high prices will definitely drop by several times the price of this thing.

In the 80s, a wealthy businessman once ate a famous oil painting for more than 100 million US dollars, but when the economic crisis occurred in the 90s, the price of the sale fell several times, which is a lesson in blood, but the rich people in China are happy to repeat the mistakes of the past, and often recycle "national treasures" at sky-high prices, in fact, many so-called national treasures are not even touched by the edge of the national treasure.

When Gao Qiang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but be quite disappointed, "Expert Li, when I go to college, will you teach me?" ”

"Gao Qiang, I understand your thoughts, if you finish college and you decide to study antiques, then you tell me the purpose of learning antiques, and then I will decide whether to teach you or not." Li Mobai knew that when he had money to solve the problem of food and clothing, he saw the outside world and had a clear outlook on life, at that time, he may not be interested in antiques at all, there are many ways to change his fate, and the key depends on what method is suitable for him.

"Okay, Expert Li, I'll sell you these furniture, I'll go back to school now to repeat my studies, I will definitely be admitted to university, and I'll go to Expert Li when the time comes." After thinking about it, Gao Qiang said with a resolute expression.

Gao Qiang's mother finished eating, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and came over to watch, without expressing an opinion, and suddenly said, "Qiangzi, you said that these pieces of furniture were to be given to Expert Li, why are they now sold to Expert Li, and when a man speaks, he should make a promise." ”

Li Mobai was shocked when he heard this, this woman who looked very fragile had such courage, "Auntie, you can't say that, this is the same thing, I would never dare to accept such a huge gift." ”

"Expert Li, I'm just a rural woman's family, and I don't have much knowledge, but I know that a man has to make a promise when he speaks, and Qiangzi has a lot of rudeness just now, so I ask Expert Li to bear with me." Gao Qiang's mother said, "If Expert Li doesn't accept it, I will let Gao Qiang chop these pieces of furniture as firewood." ”

Li Mobai smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, this woman is too powerful, this is obviously for the future of his son and forcing himself to give Gao Qiang a bright future, but he has no way to get angry.

Listening to the tone, it is obviously not just a joke, but it is really possible to chop these pieces of furniture as firewood, "Auntie, how do you see it, let Gao Qiang go to school first, and after he graduates, if he is still interested in learning antiques, as long as he passes my assessment, I will definitely teach him, what do you think?" ”

"Expert Li, don't misunderstand what I just said, Gao Qiang, this kid, was already admitted to university last year, but the family conditions are too poor, knowing that the family's economic conditions are poor, he actually concealed it and said that he was unsuccessful, until the Chinese New Year this year, I found out about the admission letter, but unfortunately it was too late, I don't want to ruin this child's life, the money is for our family, there is 500,000 just now from Expert Li, which is enough to spend, I just want Qiangzi to have a good future." Gao Qiang's mother explained calmly that she did not hide her thoughts at all.

After communicating with Gao Qiang's mother, he finally gave Gao Qiang's family a total of 3 million, including the incense burner, but Li Mobai did not have so much cash, but only paid a deposit of 50,000 yuan symbolically.

"Auntie, there is another question, don't get me wrong, do you know the origin of these pieces of furniture in your house?" Li Mobai knew that there must be some story behind this that the outside world did not know.

"I don't know the origin of these furniture very well, but I heard that before the liberation, there was a rich family in the village left, as for the specific situation I really don't know, if you want to inquire about these things, let Qiangzi take you to the old man of the Wang family in the east of the village to inquire about it, you should be able to know more."

Li Mobai heard this, and after a few polite words, he said goodbye to Gao Qiang's mother, and under the leadership of Gao Qiang, he was ready to go directly to Gao Lao's house, and before leaving, he specially advised, "Auntie, don't look at these pieces of furniture as old, don't you dare to make them new, then its own value will be gone." ”

Legend has it that there was once an antique dealer who went to the countryside to collect antiques, and when he was thirsty on the road, he went to a farmer's house to ask for water. When drinking water, he found that the table where the farmer ate turned out to be a mahogany table, so he hurriedly proposed to buy it, and finally negotiated a deal of 20,000 yuan, but the merchant did not bring enough money, so he said that he would bring money to trade on the third day.

When the merchant left, the farmer thought that he was really a little excessive, this dilapidated and old table was sold for 20,000 yuan, and he felt a little sorry for the merchant, so he painted the table overnight, and cleaned up the table as if it were new, and when the antique dealer came with the money on the third day, he found that the table had completely changed, sighed, and left gloomily.

Li Mobai was also worried, and couldn't help but admonish. The value of antiques is like this, in the eyes of those who understand, they are worth a thousand gold, but in the eyes of those who don't understand, they are worthless.

followed Gao Qiang to the old man's house, and found that this old man turned out to be the old man he had seen in the afternoon, Li Mobai couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, there was such a coincidence.

"Old man, enjoy the coolness!" Li Mobai smiled and said hello.

"Hehe, young man, you're here again, and you haven't found a place yet? I can't remember! The old man thought that Li Mobai had come to inquire about the place where the explosion occurred that year.

"Fourth grandfather, Expert Li is here to ask you about the history of our village, and come to listen to your story." Gao Qiang hurriedly explained.

"Oh? My old man's story is so old that you don't like to hear it, why are you interested in listening to this young man? ”
