took Duan Kun and Zhenzhen to play in the capital for several days, during which Liu Sizhe and Wang Xiaoyue, who had not been seen, also appeared, and the two of them clasped their fingers tightly, showing their affection, which made Chu Chen laugh and scold and forget his friends.

In addition to Liu Sizhe and Wang Xiaoyue, other friends also joined the team. However, after Dong Fatzi and Duan Kun met, the two began to sneer and sneer, showing a picture of sworn enemies.

At dinner on the first night, they had a drink, and at last they both drank profusely, and both were drunk at the same time.

However, what made Chu Chen feel very strange was that when he saw the two of them the next day, he had already reconciled, seeing the two of them talking to each other from time to time, and showing a smile on their faces from time to time, Chu Chen really had nothing to say except that he couldn't understand it.

In this way, the days passed whizzing in the play, and in a blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed.

Early this morning, Chu Chen first sent Chu Yulan, who was going home for the holidays, to school, and then went to pick up Uncle Wu and return to the antique shop.

The day before yesterday, Chu Chen negotiated with the owner of the shop next door and completed the transaction, and at that time he called Boss Huang of the decoration company. So, when Chu Chen and Uncle Wu came to the antique shop, they saw that Boss Huang of the decoration company and his subordinates were already waiting in the store.

The two sides said hello, and Chu Chen took Boss Huang and his men to the shop next door.

This shop, as I said before, is not big, Chu Chen has already asked Boss Huang yesterday, today is to come to survey the site, and the drawings can be started.

Boss Huang checked the upper and lower floors. said with a smile on his face: "Chu Shao, I took a look." Basically, you can unearth the paper tomorrow, if you are satisfied. We can start construction the same day. ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Boss Huang, we are old friends, I am still very relieved that you do things." As before, I don't have high requirements, as long as the quality is okay! ”

"Chu Shao, don't worry, I promise to complete it with quality and quantity!" Boss Huang hurriedly patted his chest and reassured.

"Okay, when this place is renovated, I want to trouble you to help me decorate my courtyard." Chu Chen said with a smile.

Boss Huang was stunned. Then he asked, "How big is the courtyard?" ”

"The total area is about 5,500 square meters!" Chu Chen replied.

"Shhh

Although he knew that Chu Chen's courtyard house would definitely not be small, Boss Huang didn't expect it to be so big, so he gasped directly, and his subordinates were even more shocked and almost dropped everything in their hands to the ground.

Regarding Boss Huang's reaction, Chu Chen only smiled, and he said again: "But that courtyard house is too old, and it is estimated that all of them need to be demolished and rebuilt." ”

Boss Huang heard Chu Chen say that he would tear down and rebuild. couldn't help but be happy in his heart, although he didn't dare to make any more money from Chu Chen, but after getting along for so long, he also knew that Chu Chen was more atmospheric. He will certainly not be treated badly then. Besides, this is an opportunity to get closer to Chu Chen, and he can't let it go. You have to do it well.

However, Boss Huang still knows how many pounds and taels he has. After a while, he said with a somewhat bitter face: "Chu Shao." Although my company's qualifications are also good, it is okay to take over your courtyard project, but ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have gotten rid of Professor Shi in terms of drawings, but he is relatively busy during this time, and it is estimated that it will take a while for the drawings to be settled." ”

Boss Huang patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Hey! I almost forgot about his old man! I'm relieved to have him here......"

After explaining clearly to Boss Huang, the other party hurried back to make the drawings, while Chu Chen closed the door of the shop and walked next door.

As soon as he walked to the door, Chu Chen saw an old man who looked like he was in his sixties and looked like an old intellectual, carrying a big box in his hand, and walked straight to the cashier, and asked the cashier: "This girl, I don't know if your boss Chu is here?" ”

The cashier was slightly stunned, and then gestured behind the old man: "Our boss is behind you!" ”

The old man was also stunned, turned around, and felt a little embarrassed when he saw Chu Chen with a smile on his face, and then walked to Chu Chen and said with a smile: "Boss Chu, hello, my name is Yuan Hongjian, and Lao Zhu introduced me to you." ”

Chu Chen immediately reacted and said with a smile: "Oh, you are Professor Zhu's friend who just played collectibles, right?" ”

Yuan Hongjian said: "Yes, it's me!" He told me yesterday that you said it, and I may have been deceived, so I will come over today to ask for advice. ”

Speaking of this, he probably felt that his speech was easy to cause misunderstanding, so he hurriedly said: "Boss Chu, I usually speak so straight, I hope you don't be surprised!" ”

Chu Chen really felt that he was here to ask about the crime at first, but now when he heard him say this, he smiled and said, "No, no, let's go upstairs and talk!" ”

"Row ......"

Yuan Hongjian nodded, and just after walking a few steps, he saw a guest holding a blue and white plate in his hand, the blue and white plate looked very beautiful, which immediately aroused his interest, so he pointed to the plate in the guest's hand and asked:

"Boss Chu, can I take a look at that plate?"

Yuan Hongjian's voice was a little loud, and the guest also heard it, so he immediately frowned and turned his head and glanced at Yuan Hongjian.

Chu Chen secretly smiled bitterly, and hurriedly explained to the guest: "This gentleman, I'm really sorry, he just entered the industry, and he doesn't understand some rules. ”

Hearing Chu Chen's explanation, the guest nodded, after all, everyone came from the newcomer, and besides, the other party was an old man, so why bother.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Yuan Hongjian immediately knew that he had done something wrong, laughed embarrassedly, and then asked in a low voice, "Boss Chu, couldn't I ask that just now?" ”

"Yes, we have a rule in this industry, which is called 'don't look at what you have in your hand, don't ask'."

Chu Chen explained as he walked: "The hand mentioned here is not in the hands of the antique dealer, but it means that the buyer has already held the things in his hand, don't look at it, and don't ask ......."

Many newcomers don't understand this rule, for example, when they go to a stall and see someone else looking at something, they come over and look at it, and when they see something they like, they go up and take something from their hands and say, "Dude, let me take a look at this."

At this time, if people are polite, they will say to you, please wait for me to read you, if you are not polite, you can directly scold you for not understanding the rules.

In addition, Chu Chen also said a rule to Yuan Hongjian, if you wait for others to read it, it is best to wait for the seller to take back the things, and then you want to see it from the seller's hand, it is best not to take it directly from the buyer's hand, this is mainly because some buyers may have unclean hands and feet, so as to steal things, if he takes the things and hands the rest to you, you will not be able to say clearly if you return them after you finish reading them.

Chu Chen said: "Moreover, we have planted a lot of mines in this line, if you don't pay attention, others will give you such a set, and when the people leave, you can't tell if you are reasonable." ”

"So there's still such a saying!" Yuan Hongjian said with a surprised face after hearing this.

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and then invited Yuan Hongjian into the VIP room, at this time Uncle Wu was reading the book inside, and Chu Chen introduced it to both parties.

Chu Chen poured a cup of tea for Yuan Hongjian, and then said: "Actually, we still have a lot of rules in the antique industry, I happen to have a book here, you can always take it back and take a look!" ”

"How embarrassing this is!"

Chu Chen smiled: "What's this, it's just a book, you can just come back after reading it!" ”

"Then thank you Boss Chu!" Yuan Hongjian expressed his gratitude.

At this time, Uncle Wu pointed to the things brought by Yuan Hongjian and asked, "Elder, what did you bring?" ”

"A ringing cylinder in the Kangxi period! How about you guys? Yuan Hongjian took the thing out of the box with a slight expression, it was a relatively small tank.

The so-called ringing cylinder, is a popular name for this kind of porcelain in the eastern generation of Hebei, according to legend, this is a kind of prop used by small traders to attract guests, the specific use method is to inject half a cylinder of water into the cylinder, not too full, rubbing both sides of the cylinder with both hands, it will produce a louder and louder buzzing sound, the water in the tank is also splashing, it is good-looking.

In addition, there is a saying that the ringing cylinder is actually a toy, in the past, the rich lady's could not go out, and unlike now there is a computer to play and TV to watch, when you are lonely, you will rub the "ringing cylinder" with your jade hand to listen to the sound to relieve loneliness.

As for what happened, Chu Chen didn't know too much, but he knew that this kind of porcelain was a relatively niche collection, and many vendors would use this thing to deceive people, many people were fooled when they were curious, as for whether Yuan Hongjian was fooled or not, he had to see things to know, but well, Chu Chen felt that it was more likely.

The height of this rattle cylinder built by Yuan Hongjian is only 15 centimeters, which looks very small and cute, and the shape of the instrument is a flat mouth folded along the lip, and the arc wall is lowered and flat-bottomed. The whole body is painted with blue and white patterns, and I see the mallet drum thunder on the heavenly court, and the cymbals and lightning flash. Everyone in the hall heard the thunder, and the heavens and the earth shook when the thunder sounded. Ten thousand golden lights in the lightning flash.

After Chu Chen and Uncle Wu saw it, they knew what kind of goods this thing was, and it was not surprising to them.

"Elder, do you know what a rattling cylinder is?" Chu Chen asked.

Yuan Hongjian smiled and said: "It's a cylinder that will ring, I used to hear a friend who also plays antiques say that this thing is a book jar for the desk, at that time I thought it was a cylinder that could make a sound by hitting it with a stick or other metal objects, so I didn't think it was surprising, and I didn't care too much, some time ago, I happened to be in a stall, and I saw this kind of thing......"
