Chapter 63: Bagua Alchemy Furnace
The antique street is located in the south of the city, which was originally an old housing area, and later the city's famous Foguang Temple was moved to Sifeng Mountain behind the housing area. Two nearby housing estates have gradually become prosperous as tourist attractions have been developed and renovated.
In a side street to the west of the old housing area not far from Sifeng Mountain, an antique antique street has been built.
As the saying goes, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, coupled with the fact that the TV station has launched several eye-catching treasure appreciation programs one after another, has further contributed to the heat of the antique market.
Although it is not a weekend, the antique street is still crowded and lively.
Song Jinbao said with a smile while leading Liu Jie: "Don't look at the number of people shopping, in fact, it is good to meet a few customers who really trade in a year." β
Liu Jie can naturally understand, after all, most of the people who come here just want to take a look, hoping that if luck comes, they can spend a small amount of money to get a big object, and occasionally there are one or two people who really know the goods and plan to trade.
After all, the odds of really taking advantage of the antique market and getting good goods are not much higher than the chances of winning the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket.
Along the way, Liu Jie keenly felt that the so-called antiques sold in the market were basically fakes, and occasionally one or two of them were stained with a little aura, and they had already been regarded as treasures of the town stall at a real price.
It's obviously impossible to pick up the leaks here empty-handed.
Song Jinbao walked forward with Liu Jie all the way, and saw a shop with a brand new faΓ§ade and festive flower baskets on both sides of the entrance, and saw a middle-aged man directing several young people to carry things from the house to the outside.
Song Jinbao hurriedly took two steps forward and greeted: "Old Hao, what are you tossing about?"
Hao Yingjun turned his head when he heard the sound, saw that it was Song Jinbao, and he didn't see outside, waved his hand, and continued to direct people to work, and waited until he saw that people carried things away, then he turned his head and walked in front of Song Jinbao, and said with a smile: "Why did you come here! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Hao Yingjun looked at Liu Jie as he spoke, and asked with a smile, "This should be Doctor Liu, right?"
Hao Yingjun stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Hao Yingjun, you can call me Lao Hao." β
Liu Jie shook hands with him: "Hello, I'm Liu Jie." β
Hao Yingjun leaned on Song Jinbao's shoulder, and did not forget to greet Liu Jie: "Go, let's go, let's go into the house and talk." β
Hao Yingjun's shop is very spacious, with rows of shelves filled with all kinds of antiques.
Liu Jie glanced at it roughly, these things have no aura at all, and they are all fakes.
Hao Yingjun pulled Song Jinbao and Liu Jie directly through the front hall, and did not forget to tell the clerk who guarded the door: "I'll talk to my friends in the VIP reception room for a while, and you guys outside will watch carefully." β
followed Hao Yingjun into the so-called VIP reception room, and Liu Jie suddenly felt like he had entered a provincial museum.
Not to mention the special anti-theft door with the door code and fingerprint lock, the super-large pattern with a hole in it alone is enough to make people jaw-dropping.
There are more than a dozen display cabinets in the room, which are carefully placed as large as the incense burner in the Qianlong period, the golden hairpin used by Cixi, the inkstone treasured by a certain seven-grade official, and the popular folk picture album.
Liu Jie took a look at the display cabinets one by one, knowing that the things in them were all genuine, and although the aura was a little weak, it was much stronger than the goods outside before.
It's a pity that there is no available alchemy furnace.
Liu Jie retracted his gaze and sat on the hospitality sofa with Song Jinbao.
Song Jinbao asked, "What did you just toss about?" Why did you transport all your luggage?"
Since opening this antique shop, Hao Yingjun has moved out of his family's villa and lived directly in the store.
Hao Yingjun said with a smile: "I just got the news, around the summer solstice is the day of harvesting Cordyceps, and those drug dealers have poured a lot of Tibetan medicine into Tibetγγγγγγ β
Song Jinbao knew about this, so he couldn't help but interrupt him, and asked puzzledly: "Haven't you received it all? Besides, it's winter, don't you still want to go into Tibet?"
Hao Yingjun said: "Don't you go into Tibet?" When I harvested Cordyceps before, I made an appointment with those Tibetans, and they would make a nourishing Tibetan medicine, and the curative effect was good, and I planned to follow those drug dealers to pour some back. β
Liu Jie's heart moved, Tibetan medicine, this is a good thing, he has a taste of pills, so he needs Tibetan medicine as a guide for refining.
Song Jinbao was also thinking about his meager savings, thinking about whether he could use such 18,000 to catch Hao Yingjun's ride and make a small profit.
It's a pity that his proposal was rejected by Hao Yingjun without thinking about it.
Song Jinbao asked, "Why?"
Liu Jie couldn't help but look at Hao Yingjun, quite breathtaking, even if it was a brother's account, it wasn't so straightforward.
Hao Yingjun said in his inherent tone, "I still have something to ask you to help with." β
Song Jinbao was stunned: "What's the matter?"
Hao Yingjun smiled and said: "A while ago, an old farmer came to sell ancestral antiques, and I confiscated it, but I inquired about his address, and you can help me run around and buy that thing back." β
When Song Jinbao heard what he said, his eyes lit up, and he asked knowingly, "What baby?"
Hao Yingjun didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "Gossip Alchemy Furnace." β
Song Jinbao reached out and touched Hao Yingjun's head: "You're not sick, you're still gossiping about the alchemy furnace!"
Who doesn't know that the legend Taishang Laojun's favorite is the gossip alchemy furnace, this thing is made up in myths and legends, how can there really be such a thing.
Hao Yingjun calmly patted Song Jinbao's hand on his head, and said: "Of course it's not the legendary one, this is a treasure from the palace in the Qing Dynasty. β
Song Jinbao wanted to touch Hao Yingjun's head again: "You are a see-through eye!
Hao Yingjun said mysteriously: "I have my own set of treasure appreciation skills, anyway, you do what I say, you can't be wrong." β
Song Jinbao really didn't bother to debate with him, and said: "It's all your money anyway, you just have to think about it yourself." β
Hao Yingjun and Song Jinbao are young, and the two have been playing together at home since they were born, and they don't hide anything, so Hao Yingjun dug his heart and said: "I paid for it, you ran errands, and sold the baby back, and we two cents in half." In the past, you were not afraid to ask for money, but this time you deserve it, and you are not allowed to refuse anything again!"
Liu Jie listened to the conversation between the two at the beginning, and when he heard this, his expression couldn't help but move, and he felt that Boss Hao was changing the law and wanted to send money to his brother!
Liu Jie couldn't help but look at Song Jinbao again.
This person is not good-looking, but his personality is excellent, righteous, generous, cheerful, warm-hearted, and indeed worthy of deep friendship.
Hao Yingjun continued: "What's more, what kind of ability do I have, don't you know it, am I the kind of person who can suffer?"
Song Jinbao was a little convinced: "That gossip alchemy furnace is really a good thing?"
Hao Yingjun nodded again and again: "It's true." β
Liu Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, alchemy furnace, he just needs one.
