The case-handling staff also came quickly, they first recorded a confession for Hua Lao, and after leaving a receipt, they brought back all those things together, and said that they would do their best to give Hua Lao an answer. Anyway, with Chu Chen's guarantee, Hua Lao is also very relieved.

Subsequently, Chu Chen saw that there was nothing to do, so he took his leave with the case-handling staff.

In the next few days, Chu Chen's life was very peaceful, and as for Hua Lao's antiques, they had results that night, and the results were not surprising, they were all in the museum's collection.

There is an explanation for why the pair of colorful bowls were not found, as for why the sword and snuff bottle were not found, it is because these three things have been stored in the warehouse for many years, and they are not particularly valuable things, so except for the semi-annual inventory, basically no one will care, so they were exploited by the ghosts.

If it weren't for Chu Chen's accidental discovery, it is estimated that he would only know when he waited for the end of the year, but by that time, the inner ghost would have already escaped.

The theft of the collection also sounded the alarm for Chu Chen, he must not be sloppy in the management of the museum, if he is careless, the next accident may be his museum.

The museum has stabilized, and it is now the off-season for tourism, so Chu Chen went to the antique shop early in the morning.

"Hey, Mr. Chu, you're here, just right, help me get an idea!"

Just as Chu Chen saw that there was nothing in the antique shop and was about to go to the market, he saw Yuan Hong Jianxing walking in, he saw Chu Chen very happy, and pulled Chu Chen out as he spoke.

Chu Chen followed him out. He smiled and said, "I said, Elder, are you going to let me help you see something?" In case the other party knows me. You'll have no chance of picking up the slack! ”

"What is missing and not picking up, these days, only those who have just entered the industry will always want to 'get something for nothing', and have been thinking about picking up leaks."

Yuan Hongjian pursed his lips, and then grinned and said: "However, of course, it is better to be cheaper, you see, I have prepared a hat and a pair of flat glasses for you, both of which are brand new." ”

said. He took out his hat and glasses from the bag in his hand and handed them to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this, and said, "Elder, you are very thoughtful in your preparation!" ”

"Where, where!" Yuan Hongjian smiled and waved his hand: "To tell you the truth, I participated in the community's art troupe the day before yesterday, and these two things were prepared for this matter." ”

Chu Chen smiled. Just put on the hat and glasses, not to mention, although it is just these two simple props, after wearing it, it really changes like a person, of course, if it is someone who is familiar with Chu Chen. It's still easy to identify.

Chu Chen smiled: "I'm afraid that the other party will recognize it!" ”

Yuan Hongjian waved his hand: "I haven't seen the seller before, it should be a newcomer, you are dressed like this, he will definitely not know him." ”

"Alright, let's go over......"

Chu Chen followed Yuan Hongjian to a side stall surrounded by many people. And from time to time, there were voices of arguments inside.

Seeing this, the two curiously stepped forward to take a look. I saw that there was an argument between a young man in his twenties and a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed appropriately.

"I said what's the matter with you, this thing is obviously my favorite, how can you rob it? I don't know the rules! The young man clutched something tightly in his hand and scolded the middle-aged man angrily.

The middle-aged man said with an innocent face: "Hey, you are really interesting, I admit that you took a fancy to the things first, but you can't afford to pay, why can't I buy them?" ”

The young man retorted: "I just don't have money for the time being, now I can go to the bank and withdraw it, is there anything wrong with that?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Then you go and get it!" ”

"I'm not going to be fooled by you!" The young man snorted coldly, and then said to the stall owner, "Boss, please follow me to withdraw the money." ”

The stall owner shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Young man, it's not that I don't agree, you see I'm alone, what if someone wants to buy my things?" ”

"That's it, how can anyone buy things without enough money, you think you can still get credit!" The middle-aged man sarcastically tired.

"You're endless!" The young man suddenly yelled at the man, and then said to the stall owner: "Boss, since you are worried about the impact on your business, then I will buy you another thing or two, this is all right, right?" ”

The stall owner asked with some hesitation, "What do you want to buy?" ”

The young man glanced at the things on the stall, then took the two things in his hand and said, "Just these two things, what do you think, boss?" ”

The stall owner looked at the things in the young man's hand, which were a string of jasper-shaped bracelets and a three-colored rabbit statue, and he was a little embarrassed: "Little brother, these two are gadgets!" ”

The young man was not stupid, and immediately heard the meaning of the stall owner's words, nothing more than that he felt that the things he took were cheaper, and he was a little dissatisfied.

Then, he pondered for a while, picked a statue of Guanyin on the stall, and said, "This is always okay, right?" ”

The stall owner said with a smile: "Little brother, I see that you are a cheerful person, the price, let's talk about it later, anyway, I won't let you suffer." ”

The young man felt that there were many people here, and it was indeed not a place to negotiate prices, so he nodded and asked, "Boss, how much are these two things?" ”

"Just give three hundred." The stall owner waved his hand as he cleaned up his things.

"Three hundred is a bit expensive, but the price is two hundred and six."

"Deal ......"

Seeing the young man happily paying, Chu Chen laughed secretly, not to mention that today's scene looks like a common game in the antique market, just by the young man's current appearance, he knows that he is still an authentic antique novice, and this loss today must be decided.

Seeing that there was no excitement, the surrounding crowds also scattered. Among them are Chu Chen and Yuan Hongjian.

Yuan Hongjian shook his head and sighed: "When I saw this young man, I thought of myself when I first entered the industry. When I saw something, I was in a hurry like burning my buttocks, and if I didn't calm down on this, it was impossible to get any big gains. ”

Chu Chen smiled, and agreed with Yuan Hongjian's words. If you want to "not stick to the leaves" when visiting antique stalls, you must learn to "not be in a hurry or slow". Generally speaking, the most important thing to pay attention to when visiting a stall to buy antiques is two points: price and quality.

In terms of price. No matter how much the seller offers, don't feel cheap. For example, when the young man bought the two things for two hundred and six just now, when he heard the stall owner offer three hundred, his heart must have been dark, and he symbolically cut down forty yuan, and he happily dreamed of making a fortune.

Actually, Chu Chen also glanced at those two things. Anyway, in his eyes, it doesn't look like real jasper and sancai, maybe it's just a string of rotten glass, and there is a fake Sancai ceramic that I don't know where to make it, just like that, I don't know what is beautiful about young people.

This is the second and most important point. It is necessary to determine your psychological price. Generally, when you encounter a favorite thing, when your psychological price is close to the stall owner's psychological price, it is usually easier to conclude a transaction.

If you encounter a thing and you don't know the bottom of your heart, then it's best not to ask the price. Because it is often difficult to avoid losses without knowing the price. If you look at a piece of jade. After determining that a piece of porcelain must be "worth the price", then boldly make a move, always hesitating, always trying to take advantage of the "leakage", and is destined to suffer a big loss.

Yuan Hongjian continued: "But this stall owner doesn't seem to be a good person, fortunately I didn't do it just now, otherwise I guess I would have suffered." ”

Chu Chen smiled and asked, "Elder, what kind of thing do you have your eye on?" ”

Yuan Hongjian smiled and said: "It's that pair of treasure rats, I'm going to buy them and give them to my wife." ”

Chu Chen laughed when he heard this: "Elder, you are also quite romantic." ”

Yuan Hongjian smiled embarrassedly: "Where, isn't it that we have been married for almost forty-five years, and it just so happens that we are both rats, so I thought about giving him such a gift then." ”

"Yo, forty-five years is not a sapphire wedding, then I have to congratulate you!" Chu Chen hurriedly bowed his hand to Yuan Hongjian and congratulated him.

Yuan Hongjian smiled and waved his hand: "These years have been ordinary and bland, it's really not a big deal." ”

"It's true to be bland." Chu Chen smiled: "I also took a look at the pair of treasure rats just now, and I think the possibility of authenticity is still relatively large." ”

"Oh!" Yuan Hongjian was slightly stunned, clapped his hands, and regretted a little: "If I knew this, then I should have bought it just now!" ”

Chu Chen said: "I just took a few glances just now, not necessarily prepared, and he has so many things, he may come back later, if you feel uneasy, then let's catch up now, it should be too late." ”

"Forget it." Yuan Hongjian shook his head: "It's just a pair of treasure rats, it's not that you can't find it." Besides, let's chase him over now and ask him to buy it, he will sell it at the price of ten, rather than this, I might as well look elsewhere. ”

"Row ......"

Next, Chu Chen accompanied Yuan Hongjian around the stalls in the market, Chu Chen had a few gains, but Yuan Hongjian didn't have anything he liked.

Stop-and-go, two hours later, they returned to their original position, but they didn't expect that as Chu Chen had expected, the stall owner came back to set up the stall again.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Hongjian was very happy, but it was not the time when he didn't understand anything, even if he was excited, it seemed very ordinary on the surface.

The two of them walked to the stall and looked at the other things before picking up the pair of treasure rats and looking at them.

This pair of treasure rats are made of copper material, made of copper rats, a rat holds a pepper with two paws, opens its round eyes, looks around, a rat holds a pepper with two paws and sends it to the mouth, it seems to be a taste, both rats are long tails and large bodies, cute and joyful. Pepper and (hand, Zhao) homonym, that is, the delivery of fortune, the meaning of fortune into the treasure, red and red, the whole instrument means to attract wealth into the treasure, rich and rich.

Judging from the shape of the treasure rat, as well as the copper quality, Chu Chen judged that this pair of treasure rats should be a genuine pair of products in the Qing Dynasty, which is quite good.

Seeing Chu Chen's hint to himself, Yuan Hongjian also had a number in his heart, so he negotiated the price with the stall owner.

Taking advantage of this period, Chu Chen took a look at the other valuable things on the stall.

"Huh?" Just as Chu Chen saw a small mahogany box placed in the corner, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

This small box is made of mahogany, which is simple and light, simple and generous, and the pulp is shiny. It is divided into three layers, with three drawers and bright lines all around. This box is finely made, elegant and quiet, and has practical value for collection.

However, on the one hand, the mahogany used for this small box is not very good, and on the other hand, the surface of the box is gray and inconspicuous, and there is some blue-yellow mud around the bottom drawer, which is really not very good-looking.

But it was these blue-yellow soils that made Chu Chen feel quite puzzled, so he took the small box in front of him and observed it.

"I said, boss, what's the matter with your good box, with half of the drawers filled with mud?" Chu Chen opened the bottom drawer and asked with a frown. (To be continued.)
