When everyone saw his mysterious appearance, they couldn't help but be curious, and saw the big head carefully take out a square wooden jewelry box from his backpack.

The wooden box is dark purple, with fine bristles, dark tones, fine textures, and thick and round workmanship, which looks like an old object that has been experienced for many years.

Zhao Zhuo squinted his eyes and said in surprise: "This is rosewood, it looks a little old, I'm afraid it's something from the Qing Dynasty." ”

Rosewood is one of the most precious timber in the world, mainly produced in the Nanyang Islands and China's Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei and other places, is an evergreen sub-arbor, grows very slowly, after hundreds of years to become a timber, although it has a very long history in China, but with its carved items, in the Ming and Qing dynasties only really formed a scale.

However, this piece of rosewood box is not a whole material, but a splicing of leftovers, and there are traces of repair on the side, and the repair should be made of sour branch wood, although the color is similar, but with Zhao Zhuo's eyesight, it is obvious to distinguish the difference in texture, so even if it is a thing from the Qing Dynasty, it is not valuable.

The big head couldn't help but say proudly: "Yes, Xiao Zhuo, it is worthy of being an appraiser, this is the rosewood box of the Qing Dynasty." ”

"Wow, the Qing Dynasty, it must be quite expensive." Li Chengliang carefully took it, weighed it, and said, "Yo, it's quite heavy." ”

"Big head, this thing isn't your ancestor, is it? I haven't seen you take it out before, so I'll be honest, where did you get it? The ant asked.

The big head smiled, took the rosewood box and said, "Don't worry, this is just a jewelry box, the real treasure is in it." ”

After that, he slowly opened the lid of the box, and everyone saw a piece of golden satin in the box, opened the satin, and suddenly saw a jade gourd pendant wrapped in it.

This jade gourd is only 3 or 4 cm in size, the texture of green and white jade, the oval jade plate is carved with gourd vines, there are two small gourds on the vine, there is a scarlet blood on the jade surface, a small hole is drilled in the corner of the jade surface, and a small red rope is worn.

Zhao Zhuo frowned, while Li Chengliang and the others sighed lightly: "Could this be the jade of the Qing Dynasty?" ”

The big head carefully took out the pendant, and said proudly: "Guess right, this is the jade of the Qing Dynasty, you see this jade, it is very soft, it is not rough to the touch, and then look at this carving, how expressive, and this piece of blood, see, this is buried in the coffin, and the blood will be produced after being soaked in corpse blood." ”

Li Chengliang and the others nodded again and again when they heard this, but Zhao Zhuo shook his head secretly, this blood Qin was obviously forged, evenly distributed, the depth was consistent, and the whole piece of jade was not an old thing, it was made of new jade, so he asked: "How much does this jade cost?" ”

"Hey, eight hundred dollars, it's cheap." Big Head said.

Everyone nodded again and again, asking where they got the things from, why they were so cheap, for them, a piece of jade and a rosewood box, they could buy it for a few hundred yuan, and it was definitely earned.

However, only Zhao Zhuo understood very well that the rosewood box made of scraps and repaired over there was not worth a few dollars in itself, at most more than two hundred yuan, and the cost of this piece of high-imitation jade was pitiful, and even the jade quality was poor, let alone worthless.

At this time, I heard the big head laugh and said, "I bought it from a pawn shop." ”

"Pawn shop?" Everyone was taken aback.

The big head said: "One of my former middle school classmates worked in a pawnshop, and I met on the road a few days ago, this is not Xiaoqin's life is coming, I just wanted to give her a gift, he said that it is more high-grade to send antiques, that pawnshop every once in a while, it will focus on dealing with some pawns that have not been redeemed when they expire, a dazzling array of things, I don't know much about this aspect, but that guy has worked for several years, has good eyesight, and is an internal employee, and helped me get a discount." ”

Mo Ling understood on the side, frowned and said, "Big brother, he shouldn't have been deceived by his classmates, right?" ”

Zhao Zhuo said: "It's hard to draw a conclusion, maybe it's a scam, maybe it's his classmate's lack of eyesight." I'd rather have the former, though. ”

Mo Ling also nodded, although she was only a spirit body, she had hundreds of years of experience, and naturally knew the deception of the world.

After the big head finished speaking, everyone shouted that they wanted to go to the pawn shop to take a look, Zhao Zhuo's several roommates, in addition to Li Chengliang's family background, the big head, ants, Brother Biao and the family background of the three or four people are not bad, and they are usually very generous, and it is not a problem to spend a few hundred yuan to buy things, not to mention that the ones they buy are antiques.

Zhao Zhuo didn't want to say anything more in this situation, pawn shops and antique shops rely on the same eyesight, and it is very common for people to set up bureaus, but now it is pointed out that this piece of jade is a fake, according to the temper of the big head, it is estimated that he will find trouble with the classmate.

Therefore, before he was sure whether this matter was related to his classmates, Zhao Zhuo didn't say much, anyway, he was here, and the pawn shop couldn't succeed in any tricks.

Because the pawnshop is in the north of the city, Zhao Zhuo drove a few people over, and when they saw that Zhao Zhuo actually had a car to drive, several people seemed very excited, but they didn't think much about it, after all, several people knew that Zhao Zhuo's family was a factory, and buying a car was naturally a small matter.

The pawnshop that Datou said is called the Golden Word Pawnshop, which is actually on a small street not far from the ancient money market, and the small street is the only place to go to the bustling street of the city, so it is also very lively when people come and go.

The façade of the gold pawn shop is very quaintly decorated, with a glittering plaque hanging on the lintel, and a piece of paper pasted at the entrance with a description of the scope of its business, whether it is antiques, watches, yellow platinum or car real estate, you can pawn here.

Zhao Zhuo parked the car in the empty space, and a short-haired young man in his 20s walked out of the pawn shop, this person was Dong Xiaodong, a classmate of the big head.

Dong Xiaodong greeted everyone enthusiastically, Zhao Zhuo looked at him seriously, he was a very capable person from the outside, not like a dangerous villain, but he naturally would not judge easily. I just hope that this classmate is really the same as he looks, and if he slaughters his classmates as fat sheep for money, it will only make people feel sorry.

As soon as I entered the pawn shop, there were not many people inside, and the small hall was divided into two, half of which was a counter, and half of which was placed with tables and chairs, etc., and it seemed that because it was noon, there were only two staff members.

Dong Xiaodong took a few people through the corridor on the side, pushed open a door, and came to the backyard, the backyard is paved with bluestone bricks, planted with a few small trees, in the big house directly opposite the yard, the door is open at this time, and you can see all kinds of antiques placed inside at a glance.

Although they only saw so many antiques from afar, Li Chengliang and others couldn't help but get excited, and the people who studied history seemed to have a natural interest in antiques.

Walking into the big room, you will see a simple purple and black long table in the middle of the room, three large wooden shelves next to the wall, each shelf is several meters long, there are several layers, each layer is placed on all kinds of antique objects, from porcelain and jade to tooth wood carvings, there are hundreds of pieces.

At this time, there were three other men in the room, one of them was in his thirties, wearing a suit, chubby, with a big smile on his face, looking like a pawn shop worker.

The big head whispered: "That's Manager Feng in the industry, and the last time I bought something, it was a discount from Xiao Dongtuo." ”

The other two men, both in their thirties, were picking up a piece of blue and white porcelain to appraise while the other whispered something in his ear.

As soon as he saw Dong Xiaodong bring a few people over, Manager Feng immediately glanced at Zhao Zhuo and a few people, and when he saw that several people were dressed well, he walked over and said with a smile: "You are all Xiaodong's classmates, right?" Look slowly, pick at will, these things are not easy to see outside, they are all items that people pawn because they urgently need money, and they don't have the money to redeem them, because there are too many things, so they are handled at a low price, you are Xiaodong's classmates, I will give you a ninety-five discount at the original price. ”

The big head and others all felt that Manager Feng was very bold, and looked at the objects on the shelves one by one, Li Chengliang and Zhao Zhuo walked behind, and muttered in a low voice: "This pawnshop is too profitable, so many antiques are sold cheaply." ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly, pawn shops and antique shops are the same, they all rely on their eyesight to eat, but they are not exactly the same. Except for a few or purchase in the countryside, most of the antique shops are actually purchased from the antique dealers in the distribution center, and a large number of purchases are made, because they are doing long-term business, and sometimes they will directly explain that those goods are fakes.

However, pawnshops are different, pawnshops are aimed at individuals, and everyone who takes something to pawn is different, although it will push the pawned object to the lowest price, so as to make the maximum profit, but if the real and fake are not clearly distinguished, it is also a loss for the pawnshop.

Therefore, the staff of the antique shop only need to be able to play tricks and be able to make customers pay for it, but the staff of the pawnshop must have some eyesight, especially those who specialize in appraisal, that must have the qualifications of an appraiser above the second level to be competent.

This chubby Manager Feng, who can be a manager, is obviously an appraiser.

Zhao Zhuo walked at the back, his eyes swept over the antiques one by one, and gradually found a problem, and he was very sure that this pawn shop was a black shop!
