Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu used a magnifying glass to carefully observe the fan painting and the seal over and over again, and their mouths were full of praise, and after a while, the two reluctantly put the folding fan back away and carefully put it on the table.

Zhou Wenping exclaimed: "Xiaochen, this folding fan is a rare and superb one!" The best purple wax bottom broadboard fourteen fan bones, the fan painting is the "Lotus Stone Perched Bird Picture" of the Bada Mountain People, such a fan bone with such a fan painting, I estimate, conservatively estimated that eight or nine hundred thousand will always want, and the auction will be a hot item! ”

The so-called fourteen gears refer to the number of gears divided by the fan bone, which generally includes nine, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, twenty, twenty, twenty-two, twenty-four, thirty and even forty. The so-called stall is the number of fan bones. The two bones at both ends of the fan are large bones, and the bones between the large bones are small bones, and the sum of the number of large and small bones is the number of files of this fan.

Among them, the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth gear fan bones are rare. They were popular in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is characterized by a square head, wide bones (referring to large bones), and a length of about a foot. Chu Chen's folding fan is a typical feature of this kind, but the length is estimated to be about an inch more than a foot.

"Almost!" Chu Chen nodded with a smile.

"Xiaochen, you have picked up another big leak, people are really angry compared to people!" Lao Wu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Chu Chen spread his hands and said with a smile: "This is something sent to me by itself, I can't help it, as the old saying goes, if you don't take it, you will be blamed for it, I don't necessarily let it slip out of my hand without my eyes, right?" ”

Zhou Wenping shook his head and smiled when he heard this. said: "Forget it, compare luck with you guy." That's self-inflicted. That's right, Xiao Chen. What you said about opening a store, how is it now? ”

"The location has been decided, and it is where the current Jiayi Restaurant is." Chu Chen said.

"There! The location is very good, rent or something, have you negotiated it? The fifth child asked.

"It's not renting, I bought it directly."

"Isn't it? I know you've got the money, but the location isn't very good, but it's good, and the landlord would have been willing to sell the store? Zhou Wenping asked in surprise when he heard this.

"I bought it through a friend's connection." Chu Chen said.

Zhou Wenping smiled: "Xiaochen, your friend's energy is very great." However, if you can buy such a large store, you don't have to worry about the size of the store being limited in the future. ”

"Hehe, it's because I don't want to be restricted in the future that I bought such a big store, otherwise I wouldn't have to wait until now."

Before this, Zhao Xueyi and Sun Xingnan had actually introduced him to a few stores, but either the location of the store was too small, or the location of the store was not good, if it was not for the future development. Chu Chen had already decided which store to store.

"Well, before the store is renovated, you call me to inform me, and I can take care of everything in my hand." Zhou Wenping said.

"Brother Zhou. Actually, you can't just give it to me. ”

"I'll definitely leave some fine products for you then, but I'll deal with those stalls, after all, antique shops should have the taste of antique shops."

"What? Brother Zhou, are you going to work in Xiaochen's shop? The fifth said in surprise.

"yes!" Zhou Wenping nodded and said, "After all, I have two children at home. The income of the stalls is also unstable, and they will wait until they go to school in the future. If the business is not good, the family will be a little stretched. ”

"That's right." Lao Wu nodded. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said to Chu Chen with some embarrassment: "This...... Xiao Chen, I don't know if you still lack manpower? ”

"Missing!" Chu Chen asked with some joy: "Fifth brother, are you going to come to my store too?" At that time, I will definitely not treat you badly in terms of salary. ”

Lao Wu scratched his head: "I have this idea, after all, it's not a matter of setting up a stall all the time, it's just that my level is ......."

"Fifth brother, we've known each other for a long time, and your level is more than enough to open an antique shop, how can I push you out of the door?"

Chu Chen smiled: "Actually, I wanted to ask you to help in the store before, but you didn't say before that you like to set up stalls and be free, so I didn't dare to invite you." ”

"Hey!" Lao Wu patted his thigh and said: "I can't say that, Xiaochen, you don't know, we set up a stall every day to get up early and be greedy for darkness, the wind and the sun, if there is a fixed job in the past, who would want to set up a stall." ”

Chu Chen said happily: "Okay, wait a few days, let's talk about what you are responsible for, as well as the salary and treatment, my initial idea is to let you be in charge of the collection of antiques, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Okay, that's fine! ……”

Next, the three of them discussed the matter of the antique shop in a warm atmosphere, zuihou was basically decided, Chu Chen was responsible for the overall situation of the antique shop and the jade aspect, while Zhou Wenping was mainly responsible for the daily management of the antique shop, and the fifth was responsible for the work of the antique collection just mentioned.

Speaking of zuihou, Chu Chen scratched his head and said to the two of them with some embarrassment: "This, Brother Zhou, Fifth Brother, there is something I haven't told you all about. ”

"What's the matter?"

"That's right, a while ago, I have found my relatives."

"Ahh

Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu both knew about Chu Chen's affairs, and after they heard about what happened to Chu Chen when he was a child, they also helped pay attention to this matter, but it has been several years, and they have never heard any news, so as soon as they heard such news, both of them showed extremely surprised looks.

After Zhou Wenping came back to his senses, he said: "I said Xiaochen, you don't even talk to us about such an important matter, it's really not interesting!" ”

"That's it!" Lao Wu also chimed in.

Chu Chen said to the two of them: "Two big brothers, this matter is indeed my fault, but I can't ...... it" said, he briefly explained the previous situation to the two of them.

"The situation of my family is a bit special, and I haven't adjusted my mentality about this matter before, so I haven't mentioned this to you all yet, I hope you two won't be surprised!"

Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu didn't reply, because the two of them were all shocked at this time, and they didn't expect that Chu Chen would have such a background.

"Xiao Chen, do you mean to say that your grandfather is Chu Zhengrong, Chu Lao?" After half a ring, the fifth child asked.

"Yes!" Chu Chen smiled bitterly, he didn't expect the two of them to have such a big reaction when they heard about his background, and now Chu Chen was a little skeptical about whether it was right to tell them about it.

The reason why Chu Chen told them about this was because the two of them were both friends and his subordinates, and there was really no need to hide such a thing, but if the two of them were a little estranged from him because of his background, it would be better not to tell them about it.

In fact, Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu's reaction is also very normal, because in the real life of ordinary people, the big man is too far away from them, and there is one in front of him, even if he is just the junior of the big man, it will make the two of them feel a little too incredible in shock.

"I didn't expect that! Xiao Chen, you will actually be the legendary princeling! The fifth elder looked Chu Chen up and down and said.

Chu Chen spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I said two big brothers, don't be like this, my family is my family, I am me, is it possible that with such a background, I will become a three-headed and six-armed person?" ”

Zhou Wenping smiled and said: "Although you are not three heads and six arms, your ability is three heads and six arms to us." ”

Chu Chen shook his head and said: "Actually, although the privilege is very cool to use, it is too easy to get lost in it, and a family background like mine is sometimes quite troublesome, I still prefer to be born in an ordinary family." ”

He said that these are actually really emotional, if he was born in an ordinary family, then it is easy to find his parents to recognize each other, and there is no need to be as entangled as before, if it weren't for the fact that he recalled some things when he was a child, maybe he is still struggling with when to shout the word "Mom and Dad".

Lao Wu waved his hand and said: "Come on, I still wish I was born in a family like you, and then live the days of stretching out my hands in clothes and opening my mouth when I eat, I think it is a fairy-like life." ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Fifth brother, I think you read too many novels, right?" I don't deny that there are gentlemen, but as far as my friends are concerned, they are very strict in their families, and it is impossible to live like you said. Let's talk about the brother of a friend of mine, since he was three years old, he began to be trained by the family as a special soldier, like what eats green worms, eats spiders, they are all pediatrics, if it is the fifth brother you, would you like to? ”

Chu Chen was talking about Tong Hangqi's brother, when he first heard Tong Hangqi talk about this, Chu Chen thought that his brother was not biological. However, when Tong Hangqi talked about this, he also had some lingering palpitations, he said, if he didn't have an older brother, it would probably be his turn to train like this.

"Isn't it? How can there be such a training of children, will there be no problems? After listening to what Chu Chen said, Lao Wu and Zhou Wenping were very surprised.

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, maybe there is some unique method!" At this point, he also specially asked Tong Hangqi at that time, and judging from Tong Hangqi's meaningful smile, eighty percent should have it, maybe it is not necessarily a legendary martial arts cheat.

"Xiao Chen, what you said is just an example, right?"

Chu Chen said: "There are really not many like this, but after all, if you want a family to last for a long time, you always have to pay something as a junior, so if you want to live a life in a big family without working hard, it is really unlikely that you can live that kind of life when you have clothes to stretch your clothes and eat to open your mouth." ”

"Of course, everyone has their own aspirations, and everyone has their own ideas, but I think that life is no more than a hundred years at most, and you have to leave something behind, otherwise you will finally come to the world and leave no footprints, isn't it a pity?" (To be continued......)
