Liu Kui never imagined that this book was worth 20,000 yuan, and if he knew it, he would definitely not put this book in this snakeskin bag and wait for it to become moldy.
Han Chong didn't see the incredible expressions of the villagers, and even Liu Kui was a little suspicious.
"Uncle, although I can't say that I am nine out of ten, I think there are 20,000."
"Then nephew, I'll collect 20,000 yuan for you, will you accept it?"
How could Liu Kui not know that it was impossible for anyone in the village to take away the people with the surname of the hundred families, and Zhou Haibo was very interested, and he still scoffed at the price of this "Hundred Family Names". At the moment, I can only find Han Chong.
Han Chong naturally understood what Liu Kui meant, and said without hesitation. "Uncle, if you are willing to accept 20,000 yuan for me, then I can't ask for it."
"yes, that's good. Thank you, uncle. ”
Liu Kui couldn't hide his excitement, and he was overjoyed, and Han Chong said directly in the next second. "Dad, you take out 20,000 yuan from you first, and I'll give it to Uncle Liu Kui first."
Then Han Chong put away the surnames of the hundred families and put them in a box prepared in advance. "Uncle, this hundred family names are mine. Can't you go back? ”
"How could I have repented. Nephew, thank you so much. ”
Liu Kui swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, because he thought that he immediately had 20,000 yuan, which was beautiful.
I didn't expect this antique to be so valuable, but it's a pity that there is only such an old object in my pile of books, otherwise, this would really be able to make a fortune.
Han Xiaoli handed over the money to Liu Kui, and when he saw Liu Kui returning with a bumper harvest, he was beaming, and the villagers were even more moved.
He Liu Kui's family has a baby, why can't he have it in his own family.
Some naïve villagers even went home to rummage through the cabinets and pushed all the dilapidated books at home with a small cart.
A few families were sweating profusely, but there was a cart of books, and they didn't find a single antique.
For the whole morning, Han Chong fought with the smell of mildew and rust, and as for noon, Han Chong had to go into the house to rest for a while before daring to come out to continue appreciating.
Zhou Haibo also waited for other good things to come out all morning, but the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Only one broken book was appreciated in the morning, and Zhou Haibo was naturally depressed.
However, he blamed Han Chong for this, and he decisively spread rumors, thinking that this Han Chong was simply indiscriminate, and he didn't have those two brushes, so he was acting for everyone.
And Liu Kui's treasure matter, Zhou Haibo automatically contacted the relationship between the two families, and if he really wanted a treasure, this Han Chong would also take it as his own, and not tell the truth to the people, all in all, Zhou Haibo kept pouring dirty water on Han Chong.
If it weren't for the village chief's obstruction and painstaking persuasion, the villagers would really believe Zhou Haibo's words and give Han Chong a crime.
Some villagers have gone home to eat, but on the whole, there are many appreciating villagers.
At this time, it was the turn of Uncle Wang at the entrance of the village.
Uncle Wang is sixty-nine today, his wife left two years ago, he has two daughters under his knees, a son, the eldest daughter is abroad, the son is in the city, the younger daughter is twenty-six years old, and she is still studying for graduate school in Jiangcheng. The son is also filial and hopes that he will go to the city, but Uncle Wang is not at ease with his little daughter.
After all, he can go to his son's house, and if his youngest daughter wants to live there, his daughter-in-law will definitely not be happy.
That's it, Uncle Wang has become an empty nester, idle in this Zhoujiatun, whoever has a lively family he will always go to get together, fortunately, Uncle Wang is in good health, in good spirits, and can take care of himself, so the children are also at ease.
Today, Uncle Wang couldn't have fun at home, and when he heard the loudspeaker shouting about the son of the old Han family, he took out his own family background and wanted to ask this guy to take a look.
Uncle Wang is a big smoker, and his two hobbies in life are drinking, and the second is smoking.
But Uncle Wang is different from other tobacco and alcohol lovers, his cultivation and temperament are detached, not only likes to drink and smoke, but also everything that is related to tobacco and alcohol, such as this utensils, pipes, and cigarette holders, Uncle Wang also loves to collect.
Every time, smokers come to the door, Uncle Wang will share his collection with friends, in this Zhoujiatun, Uncle Wang is unusual, has become a unique old man, in short, Uncle Wang is not an ordinary old man, this is the consensus reached in the village.
Uncle Wang walked up to Han Chong with a cane of briar, dragging a small fine woolen bag in his right hand.
Not to mention this bag, just the crutch of this briar, Han Chong subconsciously glanced at Uncle Wang.
Doesn't Han Chong know that heather wood is a precious wood, and it is recognized in the world as the most suitable material for making zuò pipes, its wood is delicate, strong and durable, and most importantly, it grows on the slopes and rock walls of the Mediterranean coast, and grows extremely slowly, and it cannot grow at all without 30 years or more.
Uncle Wang was on the cane of the heather, and when Han Chong sat down, he thought that Uncle Wang's bag on the right was probably filled with a pipe.
If there is a briar wood pipe inside, I'm afraid I will really have to take away a treasure today, Han Chong had a whim at this moment.
"Uncle Wang, are you here to appraise treasures?"
"Isn't it, boy, I've brought some treasures here, can you show me?"
Uncle Wang's hands and feet were not sluggish, but light, sucked the crutch on the ground, and skillfully opened the woolen bag with both hands.
The bag turned out, and the contents of the water came out of the hibiscus, Han Chong guessed correctly, and sure enough, there were several exquisite pipes inside.
For pipes, Han Chong is not familiar with them, and in appreciation, Han Chong has really never experienced pipe culture.
In fact, the pipe is not an old Chinese tradition, it is a foreign thing from the West, and the imported culture entered China in the Qing Dynasty, and it was prevalent in the early stage of the war.
At that time, the culture of pipes and snuff bottles first arose from the royal generals, and after fermentation, they were introduced to the people, and when they first entered China, pipes were actually called "smoke shaking." ”
It is not difficult to understand that it is called smoke shake in order to shake the tobacco into it and make the tobacco tighter.
Later, people looked at the shape of the smoke shake like a small bucket, and some people called the smoke shake a pipe, until now.
At the beginning of Han Chong's entry into the antique shop, he also learned about the appreciation of pipes in books, and the appreciation of pipes mainly lies in the material, and the identification of pipes of different materials is different, and it needs to be treated differently.
For example, the briar pipe is the most expensive, and appreciation needs to look at its flame pattern, bird's eye, and hardness.
Because, as far as he later knew, at least dozens of kinds of wood could imitate the so-called flame patterns and finch eyes, and the price was very different from that of heather.
