Regarding the fat man's boasting, Ning Xiaofan naturally had a serious skeptical attitude.

In his impression, the fat man is a master who does not learn and has no skills, whether it is tomb robbery or identification of antiquities, these require very high professional knowledge, how did he learn it? How did you get involved in tomb robbing? Ning Xiaofan asked curiously, but the fat man was vague, only saying that the family who adopted him opened an antique shop, and refused to say anything else.

asked him again if the antique shop was still there, and the fat man prevaricated directly as soon as he said that the antique shop had been transferred.

After the fat man introduced the basic situation of the team, he asked Ning Xiaofan again: "Xiaofan, what will you do?" Do you have any special skills? ”

Ning Xiaofan thought for a while and said: "I can blast, I used to be an engineer in the army, so I am familiar with blasting." ”

"Uh, that's it?" The fat man's little eyes wiped a trace of disappointment, doing underground work, almost everyone can blast, himself, monkeys, Zhang Chun, Chen Biao can blast, this is not unusual, naturally it is not a specialty.

"Also, it's okay to fight."

"Damn, it's okay to fight, which time you and I fought was not full of bags." The fat man was even more disappointed, not to mention that Chen Biao was a good fighter, and he didn't lose much to him when he was a child, but he wasn't as ruthless as this guy.

Ning Xiaofan saw the disdain on his face, touched his nose and said, "I'll do both, oh, and I'll drive too." ”

The fat man couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Your sister, I'm embarrassed to take it out and say that I can drive, come on, let's treat you as a Buddha." You don't have to do anything with us, at most you find something, it's up to you to open the treasure. ”

"Kaibao?"

"Uh, jargon." The fat man sneered: "We are not in the business of robbing tombs now, and it is estimated that it will not be your turn to open the treasure, but as long as we can make the trip this time, if we are lucky enough to find any ore containing treasures, before opening, you will touch it first with this gold hand to increase your luck." ”

Ning Xiaofan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, can he increase his fortune by touching it? Either you might as well buy some lottery tickets yourself, and win millions of dollars by touching the lottery twice, and leave the ranks of the proletariat as soon as possible.

While talking, at this time, I saw a few people go up to the second floor, Ning Xiaofan didn't see it with his back to the stairs, and the fat man could see it clearly against the stairs, and when he saw those people going upstairs, he whispered to Ning Xiaofan: "The owner of the goods is here, and the people who are shopping for goods are estimated to be coming soon, you sit down first, and I will say hello to the monkey." ”

After the fat man finished speaking, he and the monkey left the private room.

Ning Xiaofan heard the fat man say that the owner of the goods was coming, he was a little curious, turned his head and looked over, there were three people on the second floor, two middle-aged men and a fat woman.

At this time, the fat man and Hou San greeted him, both sides seemed to be more familiar, greeted each other, and the group walked straight to a private room in the middle, and after entering the private room, the door was closed.

The scene in the private room was invisible, Ning Xiaofan was bored alone, and looked at some porcelain, copper stoves and other ornaments that looked very old on the wooden shelves on the side, so he took a porcelain vase casually.

The porcelain vase in the hand is a plum vase, blue and white on a white background, and the words "Yongzheng Year System" are also at the bottom of the bottle. Ning Xiaofan was startled, almost unstable, it's not so exaggerated, just take a porcelain vase or it was in the Yongzheng period.

Take a closer look, your sister, this vase is an imitation, the years are still relatively long, and the folk kiln goods of the Republic of China period. Today, this bottle is worth about one or two thousand, which is considered an old item.

Put back the plum bottle, and take a small copper stove, this is more mysterious, and there is a green patina, the shape is simple, and it looks a bit like a bronze at a glance. However, with the experience of the past, Ning Xiaofan didn't believe that it would be a real bronze, and sure enough, this small copper furnace was a miscellaneous copper piece, and the patina on it was purely artificial, and the age was probably in the Republic of China period.

The Republic of China is rich in fakes, especially the porcelain imitating the Ming and Qing dynasties, and its craftsmanship is still relatively high.

Ning Xiaofan's level belongs to semi-irrigation, when he cooperated with the archaeological team, he mixed with some very high-level archaeological experts for a period of time, and learned some identification know-how, but ordinary fakes still can't hide from his eyes.

There are a lot of objects placed on the wooden shelf, porcelain is the majority, there are large and small, different shapes, but there are almost no real old goods, almost all of them are imitations of the Republic of China period, and there are also a few genuine products of the late Qing Dynasty, but they have nothing to do with the famous kiln, there is appreciation value, and there is no collection value.

Of course, there are tens of thousands of collectible pieces at every turn, and it is impossible to place them in this hall casually as decorative ornaments.

Just when Ning Xiaofan was bored looking at the ornaments, some people came one after another, most of these people entered the private room where the fat man and others were, only two of them seemed to be here to drink tea, and sat down in a position in the hall at random.

At this time, another person came up, this person was about 35 or 6 years old, wearing a brocade Tang costume, his hair was neatly combed, and he was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Maybe it was because the man in Tang costume had a more outstanding temperament, and Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

The middle-aged man in Tang costume walked at a slow pace, Shi Shiran, he seemed to be very leisurely, and similarly, he also went straight to the private room inside, and after he entered, the private room was not closed, and he saw Hou San walk out.

Hou San arrived at the compartment, poured a small cup of tea from the teapot, and after drinking it in one gulp, he said, "Brother Fan, the fat brother told you to go to the private room." ”

Ning Xiaofan was also very curious about the business in the private room, so without saying a word, he followed Hou San to the private room.

After entering the private room, Ning Xiaofan knew that the area of this private room was quite spacious, with two rooms inside and outside, and a long mahogany table outside, with a mahogany chair on the side of the table, which was antique, and there were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. The furnishings in the middle are pretty much the same. Compared with the outer room, the area is slightly smaller, the table is a square table, a few round stools, but the material is very high-grade, it is pineapple wood, the layout is compact, and it feels much more elegant.

At this time, there were already many people sitting around the long mahogany table outside, and at a glance, there were about ten people, except for the first few seats that were vacant, and the rest of the seats were still vacant. The few people sitting in the room were the first two men and one woman to enter the private room, and the fat man and later the man in Tang costume were also there.

Hou San led Ning Xiaofan to a vacant seat next to the mahogany table and sat down, and he himself sat down nearby, and at the end, he also leaned into Ning Xiaofan's ear and said, "Brother Fan, when you trade later, just open your eyes, don't talk casually." ”

Ning Xiaofan nodded, indicating that he understood, glanced at the people present, and saw that the people present didn't seem to notice his face, familiar with each other, sitting there talking to each other, whispering, coming alone, and not making a sound, either closing his eyes and recuperating, or playing WeChat there with his mobile phone. There was also an old man with gray hair holding a tablet and what was he pulling there? The expression is very focused.

The old man played with the tablet, it was quite fashionable, Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but glance at the tablet, and was surprised, the old man was indeed very fashionable, and he was still playing "Plants vs. Zombies".

After not sitting for long, the people in the middle came out, and the fat woman was in the front, holding a wooden box in her hand, and sat down directly in the first place. Two middle-aged men, fat men and men in Tang costumes, also sat down nearby.

The fat woman seems to be a frequent visitor here, she doesn't feel cramped, and after saying hello to a few acquaintances here, she cleared her throat and said: "Thank you very much for coming to cheer, I won't talk nonsense, this time a friend of mine came back from overseas, brought some small things, entrusted me to bring here for you to help with the eyes, if you are satisfied, you can trade on the spot, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it." ”

After the fat woman finished speaking, everyone present smiled, overseas friends, commissions or something, they were all scene words, and no one believed them.

At this time, the fat woman pushed the wooden box on the table forward, this wooden box is one and a half feet long, nearly a foot wide, and it is still made of red sandalwood, this box alone is worth a lot of money, presumably the contents inside will not be bad. The wooden box was opened, and the eyes of everyone present suddenly lit up, only to see that the wooden box was cushioned with velvet, and on the velvet, there were inlaid gems, red, green, blue, purple, white, or round, or square, or diamond-shaped, different sizes, colorful, shining.

In addition to gemstones, there are several pieces of jade, a bracelet, a hand play piece, and two pendants, three of which are emerald green, and the hand play piece is white and yellow, which looks like Hetian jade.

For jade, Ning Xiaofan also knows a little bit, for example, jadeite has the saying of "strong yang Zhenghe", among which the old pit glass species is the best. Hetian jade depends on the skin color and the water head. To identify jade, two types of equipment are indispensable, a ruler and a strong flashlight. Among them, the strong light flashlight is particularly important, through the strong light flashlight, you can see the internal texture of the jade, whether there are dark wounds, cracks, jade flowers, textures, ink spots, etc......

Ning Xiaofan didn't have identification equipment, and he could only see a rough idea with the naked eye, but these collectors present came prepared, and the miscellaneous identification equipment of strong light flashlights, magnifying glasses, and scale rulers were taken out one after another.

There are collectors who are interested in jade, there are those who are interested in gemstones, there are many people, but they are not chaotic, the close ones are appreciated first, and after the appreciation, they are handed to the next person.

Ning Xiaofan has been much more interested in gems since he knew about the treasure of the earth, and his eyes were staring at the gems in the wooden box.

The so-called insiders look at the doorway, the layman looks lively, he knows too little about gemstones, the gems in the wooden box are gorgeous, the treasure is shining, it looks bright and good-looking, but its value, he doesn't understand it at all. Seeing that the collectors here were watching with relish with the appraisal equipment in their hands, he could only watch the excitement from the sidelines.
