In the next few days, Qiao Qingtai originally planned to take Chu Chen to visit the major scenic spots in Jiangcheng, but after browsing the surroundings for a day, Qiao Qingtai got a message, so he suspended the next trip.

The off-road vehicle drove Chu Chen and his party to the destination, and on the way, Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, you came by coincidence, it is generally not a good thing Chen Liujin doesn't introduce much, maybe we can have some unexpected gains today." ”

Chu Chen nodded with a smile, and then asked curiously, "Old Qiao, why is this person called Chen Liujin?" ”

Qiao Qingtai laughed and said: "It's not that this guy can eat it, it's normal to eat three catties of rice at a time, at most he eats six catties of rice at a time, so everyone gave him this nickname." ”

"Six pounds?!" Hearing this, Chu Chen and the three of them were all a little incredulous, this is six catties of rice, for some people with small appetites, they may be full just by looking at it.

Chu Chen asked, "He can't be sick of any kind of body, right?" ”

Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "I went to the hospital to see him, and the doctor said that he had hyperphagia, but it didn't have much effect after being treated for a while, and he didn't feel any discomfort, so he didn't treat it." ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Then he just spends a lot of money on food." ”

1≥ "That is, most of the money this guy makes is spent on eating." ”

Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "But because of this, he asks for a commission that is a little higher than others, and he has to take care of his meal, but what he introduces is all good things, and it is quite cost-effective." ”

Chu Chen smiled: "As long as he doesn't have a black heart, it's fine......"

After more than an hour's drive, the car came to a stop in a village.

At this time, a man in his thirties walked up to the car. greeted Qiao Qingtai with a smile on his face.

Qiao Qingtai smiled and introduced the two sides, and the man in front of him was Chen Liujin. This made Chu Chen speechless.

The reason is also simple, originally Chu Chen heard that Chen Liujin could eat so much in one meal. Don't talk about being fat, at least you should be a little stronger, but as a result, Chen Liujin is a thin man, not to mention, he is as thin as a bamboo pole, as if a gust of wind will blow away. With this appearance, it's hard to believe that there is nothing wrong with his body.

Of course, there are all kinds of wonders in the world, and maybe people have special physiques. Chu Chen was only slightly surprised, and then regained his composure.

After a few words of greeting, Qiao Qingtai said, "Xiao Chen, you come up and show the way, let's go now." ”

Chen Liujin smiled bitterly: "Old Qiao, we can only walk over." ”

"How?" Qiao Qingtai felt a little strange.

"Do you think this road looks like a car can walk?" Chen Liujin pointed to the road ahead.

It turned out that this was an ancient village, and the village road was also a stone road, but unfortunately it was almost destroyed later. All of them were snatched home by the villagers to build houses. This kind of thing is not a few people all over the country, and the things of the public family, whether you take them from me or not, even if the village chief says it, it is useless. It's not a good thing at all.

It's just that this will make Chu Chen and them miserable, no way, who made it rain a majestic rain last night. In addition, it is relatively poor here, and there is no money to build cement roads. The village road was muddy, and the car couldn't drive into it at all. The only option is to walk.

Hu Yong opened his mouth and said: "I can't even build a road here, can there be any good things?" ”

Chen Liujin said with a smile: "You can't say that, there have been big officials here before, otherwise how could the stone road be paved?" It's just that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a bandit disaster here, and it has been in a state of collapse since then. ”

Hu Yong heard this and said, "This is a little wrong, since it has suffered from banditry, how can there be good things left?" ”

Chen Liujin smiled: "Of course, gold and silver can rarely stay, but who wants the bottles and cans of porcelain?" You can rest assured, the principle of my business is that Tong Su is not bullied, and I have come here to investigate in advance, so I invited Qiao Lao to come over, besides, with Qiao Lao here, I can't sincerely lie to you! ”

Qiao Qingtai smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, take us over, if it's true or not, you'll know if you've seen it." ”

"This is reasonable, come, change it for you."

As he spoke, Chen Liujin took out a few pairs of rain boots from the plastic bag he was holding and handed them to everyone.

Everyone changed into rain boots, left the driver here to watch the car, and then followed Chen Liujin to the door of a villager's house.

Along the way, Chen Liujin introduced the situation of that family to everyone.

The owner of the family is named Lian Youshui, his family was not only a landlord a long time ago, but also a big family, and then I don't know how to do it, it didn't reproduce well, and when it came to Lian Youshui's father's generation, there was only one seedling left. This means that all the property left by the ancestors and families in the past fell into the hands of Lian You's sailors.

To say that the poor family's property is not much money left, but this is not the same even the water family, until the Republic of China, they were still the richest people in the village, and the ancestors not only had land in the village, but also did business and taught in the city, and earned silver instead of copper plates.

During this period, although the village suffered the most from the bandits, his family suffered the most losses, but at that time, because he sensed that something was wrong, he transferred part of his property in advance, and the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, it is not difficult to imagine that the number of treasures such as antiques left behind must not be a few.

Moreover, in the past, even the Youshui family was very good to the villagers, and they have always been the image of good people, so that their family did not suffer any crimes in the last century, although most of the gold and silver in the family were handed over, but some porcelain and other things were still left.

Of course, if you think so, only the Lian Youshui family knows how much, and outsiders can only make a guess.

The door was not locked, so Chen Liujin stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, a rural man in his fifties and sixties, armed with a cane, came to open the door.

The uncle glanced at everyone and nodded at Chen Liujin: "Liujin is here, just come in." ”

After saying that, he led everyone to the hall, but because of some problems with his legs and feet, he did not walk fast, and it took him three or five minutes to arrive.

Please take a seat, although Chu Chen and the others said not to be polite, but the uncle was still a little stubborn and poured tea for everyone.

Next. Chen Liujin gave an introduction to both sides, and it was no surprise. Uncle is what Chen Liujin said.

"You sit down for a while, and I'll take my things out."

Seeing Lian Youshui staggering out. Chu Chen asked: "Why does he live alone here, an old man's legs and feet are inconvenient, can he do it?" ”

"Old man stubborn."

Chen Liujin said: "His children have now bought a house in the city, and the old fat got sick and died the year before last, so his son asked him to live in the city, but he was not happy, saying that he wanted to look at the old house." Some time ago, he broke his leg and didn't even call his children, saying that it was too troublesome. But. It is precisely because of this that he thought of selling things to raise money to cure his legs. ”

I heard that this is the case, but everyone really doesn't know what to say. However, Chu Chen felt that if he was replaced, he would not be relieved that the old man would live here alone, and he would have to hire a nanny to take care of him. But then again, even with a character like Shui, maybe his children will have to push him away if they find him a nanny.

After a while, Lian Youshui came back with a bag. He put the bag on the table and said, "Just these two things, you can take a look." ”

Everyone was not polite, and took the things out of the bag.

First of all, Qiao Qingtai took out a statue of an Arhat. This is a kneeling front sitting posture, with his chest and abdomen exposed, and he is skinny. It's a dry-boned Arhat.

This Arhat statue uses the method of making zuò with color paint, which is also known as clamping and coercing. As a method of lacquer statues. First, the tire is molded with clay, and then the linen cloth is pasted on the outside of the mud tire with lacquer; Allow the paint to dry. Reapply several times; It is made by dozens of processes such as polishing and decoration. Finally, the mud tire is emptied, so it is also called "empty image".

The lacquerware made with this process is light, thin-walled, delicate, and rounded.

Lacquerware is mostly used in the making of Buddha statues, it is not afraid of water immersion, can withstand high temperatures, acid and alkali corrosion, also known as reborn lacquerware. Its exquisite and vivid craftsmanship, thin as paper, light as a feather material, makes people amazed, suspected of being a miracle. And because the texture is very light, it is also called "line image".

Judging from the characteristics of the craftsmanship and pulp of this Arhat statue, it should have been made in the early Qing Dynasty, but because the production of zuò is not so elegant, and the preservation is not too good, the market value is only 10,000 yuan.

Another thing is a blue and white cup, this cup is extremely regular, and there is a blue and white double circle script at the bottom of the six-character paragraph of "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty". The cup ring is round, and the exposed fetus shows the unparalleled white fetal quality of Kangxi porcelain, which complements the enamel as smooth as jade.

The body of the cup is painted with eight trigrams, and the yin and yang diagram of the inner bottom reflect each other, and the outer wall is near the foot of the sea water wave pattern, and the line drawing is like a gossamer, which shows that the painter's skill is extraordinary. The blue and white hair color is bright and gorgeous, which is a typical emerald blue in the Kangxi period.

The Yin and Yang Bagua Diagram is a schematic diagram of Chinese people's interpretation of the origin of all things in heaven and earth, and represents the core essence of China's traditional philosophy. Therefore, although the decoration of the cup is simple, the expression is very profound, and it is the exquisite work of the blue and white cup in the Kangxi period.

Judging from the workmanship and quality of this cup, the market value is more expensive, but it is worth about 50,000 at most, and it is really not a windfall that Qiao Qingtai said before.

Next, everyone talked about the price, Lian Youshui's price was not high, the two things were only 20,000 yuan in total, and Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai were not profiteers, and the triple profit was already good for them, so it was just a symbolic repayment, and the two sides made a deal.

At this time, Chen Liujin said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Lian, I heard that you still have a few treasures at home, can you take them out for us to enjoy?" ”

Unexpectedly, Lian Youshui waved his hand directly and said: "No, except for these two pieces, the others have already been sold out, and I used to buy a house for my children, and those things were sold out for me to make up the money." ”

Hearing Lian Youshui say that there was nothing to sell, Qiao Qingtai swept Chen Liujin with his eyes, Chen Liujin knew what Qiao Qingtai meant, and he was asking if he had lied to him on the phone before.

Chen Liujin gave Qiao Qingtai an innocent look, which means that of course he didn't deceive Qiao Qingtai, and there was no need to deceive, not to mention anything else, he had a commission to get when things were sold, and no matter how he was, he wouldn't be able to get along with the money.

So, Chen Liujin smiled and handed Lian Youshui a good cigarette, and lit Lian Youshui's cigarette on fire and said: "Uncle Lian, my elder made a special trip to buy goods, and he is the one in our Jiangcheng antique shop!" The price given is also very good, or you can take one or two goods out to show him, the things are good, and the price will not be bad for you. ”

Lian Youshui hesitated for a moment and said: "Six catties, I really don't have antiques in my house, if you want to, why don't you take it out and sell it for a few dollars to treat your feet?" You see, I'm hurt like this, and I'm afraid that this money won't be enough. ”

"Okay, you're thinking about it!"

Chen Liujin didn't say anything, so he took everyone to say goodbye to Lian Youshui.

After walking out of the door for a while, Qiao Qingtai asked, "Xiao Chen, he really doesn't have anything?" ”

Chen Liujin smiled and shook his head: "That's definitely impossible, he did this, first, he was afraid of the low price, and second, he was afraid of the red eyes of the people in the village." Rumors about the many antiques in his house have long spread in the village, so much so that when someone quarreled with his wife a few years ago, they scolded her for making a fortune by selling the things of her ancestors, and she was shameless. ”

"And I have also inquired, although his antiques have sold a lot, it is certain that there are still many pieces at home, and there are many treasures at the bottom of the box."

When Hu Yong heard this, he asked curiously: "Since this is the case, then why did we come out?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and explained to Hu Yong, "Hu Yong, this is because you have no experience, when we encounter this kind of thing, we all retreat as advance, understand?" People say that there are no antiques, but you still have to say that there are, and in the end, do you want him to slap himself in the face and take things out? Based on his character, this is obviously unlikely, so we have to give people time to think. ”

Hu Yong said: "Then when will we come over?" Tomorrow? ”

Chen Liujin smiled when he heard this: "Of course it's impossible, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has a treasure in his family, and there are more than one or two pieces, this is a big fish, how can he let it go?" Moreover, the most important thing for us to be able to buy good goods in this line is to have fast hands and slow hands, and if you want to catch a big fish, you can't be in a hurry or slow, otherwise if other cats smell fishy, it is easy to have an accident, presumably this is not what everyone wants to see, right? ”

Everyone laughed.

"And when are we going to be back?"

"Hehe, let's go and pad our stomachs first, and only when we are full will we have the strength to work." Chen Liujin patted his stomach.

Qiao Qingtai looked at the time and said a little speechlessly: "I said Xiao Chen, it's only less than ten o'clock, what kind of meal are you eating?" ”

Chen Liujin smacked his lips and said: "No way, I was in a hurry in the morning, so I ate ten buns, and now my stomach is already hungry, and if I don't eat, I can't walk, how can I still have the strength to work!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and after a while, Qiao Qingtai shook his head with a wry smile: "Yes, when I meet a rice bucket like you, I have nothing to say, you can say where to eat." ”

Chen Liujin smiled and said: "Let's eat the farmhouse food here today, the taste is really amazing, think about it and saliva is flowing out, go!" I'll take you over to taste ......" (to be continued......)
