Only then did the fat man nod thoughtfully. "According to you, except for hard porcelain and bronze, we can't touch anything else?"

"It's not us, it's me." I solemnly said, "There are very few things that can make my eyes look at hard porcelain and bronze, and I don't touch anything else because I am not very sure." But I don't understand, what I teach you is what I'm good at, why are all the things you recycle that I'm not good at? ”

The fat man snorted and scolded: "As soon as I say this, I get angry, Lao Tzu originally started at porcelain, but I didn't expect that none of the things in my hands were sure, no matter how I looked at them, they were all fakes." But I took a look at a few other things, and I felt like the real thing. ”

I smiled: "That's right, you know more about it before you know that the market is full of fakes, and you look like licensed goods, which only means that you don't understand." It doesn't make sense that the hard porcelain on the market is fake, and there are more other things than the real thing, which can only prove that you have an eye for hard porcelain. ”

After this conversation, the fat man paused for a while. But it was really difficult to keep him quiet, and it wasn't long before he announced his plan of action: shovel the ground.

This is the jargon of the antique circle, to put it bluntly, it is to go to the information underdeveloped areas to collect things, and these people are called shovelers in the industry. This is also one of the main sources of goods in the antique circle, compared to digging graves, shoveling land is much safer, at least not breaking the law.

However, this is a great test of the practitioner's eyesight, and now there are many people engaged in this industry, good and bad, including petty theft and cheaters. Therefore, the people have a rejection of this kind of people. In addition, there are more shovels of land, and some towns and villages also have a certain amount of experience, and they will not easily sell good things to them, and even set them up. At this time, it is not only a test of the eyesight of shoveling the ground, but also a test of IQ.

"IQ is a hard wound." I looked at the fat man worriedly and said.

The fat man immediately raised a middle finger and scolded: "Lao Tzu's failure to be admitted to college has nothing to do with IQ, it is because I use my energy on things other than studying." I've learned about their little tricks, pediatrics, they've never seen my tricks, wait for me to return triumphantly. ”

Not to mention, it didn't take long for the fat man to take back a few things, which were not fine, but they were all real things. This also made me look at him differently. He happily put things on the display case, and I saw that this was not a thief. Hurriedly asked him to take things down, the fat man was on the rise, he didn't do it, he had to show off. I know I don't want to stop here.

Sure enough, the thieves were not recruited, and the antiquities dealers came to hear the news. They didn't care about whether the things that the fat man collected were worth it or not, but the fat man didn't pay attention to the first time he went out to shovel the ground, and these cultural relics dealers were very concerned. So their conversation immediately shifted from buying and selling antiques to how to work together.

Shoveling the ground is rarely done alone, and the fat man is an exception, he is alone when he goes out for the first time, and in their words he does not know whether he is alive or dead. There are generally about three people who go out to shovel the ground, not too many, but there is one thing, and those who receive the same kind of work will not go together. For example, he can be a companion of hard porcelain, or a companion of calligraphy and painting, but he will not be a companion of porcelain, because he is afraid of competing with each other. The fat man went out to shovel the ground for the second time, it was three people who walked together, this time he went out for a long time, and the harvest was also big, and he got back a valuable thing, a blue and white lotus high foot bowl in the early Qing Dynasty.

This thing could be exchanged for two houses at that time, and when I gave the fat man a clear answer, his enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, and he tried his best to persuade me to join. I really don't know how to explain to him that if it's for money, I might as well go back and help my parents take care of the business. I'm doing this here to solve the doubts in my heart, to make an unfulfilled promise.

When the fat man saw that he couldn't persuade me, he was not discouraged, and he wanted to go out to shovel the ground again. I saw him throw a bunch of things at me, and some of them were thrown directly into the display case, and my scalp was numb, didn't that add to the mess. I don't have time to deal with these things for him, mainly because I often go out and have to contact the manufacturer who made the sand table model for me to determine the size of each model. These things are time bombs when I put them here, and I don't know when the thief will come, and his big mouth is unstable, and what he has in hand has long been shouted all over the city.

I immediately told the fat man clearly that he was left to deal with these things by himself, and I was not responsible for any of them, including the loss. After the fat man listened, the two big eyes rolled and said, "No problem, this is easy to do." With that, he went out.

After half a day's work, the fat man brought someone back. I saw it. This person is my classmate in middle school, named Huang Hai, not a class, and the standard troublemaker. We've had a fight.

It was the first year school sports day, and there was a little friction between the two of us, why I forgot why. In short, you have to go it alone with me. When I was in school, students used to solve conflicts by themselves, and if you announced that you were going to be single-handed, no matter how many people you were, no one would interfere. Although I'm not good at fighting, my physical fitness is there, and I have the role model of a fat man, so of course I won't scare him.

As a result, as soon as I fought, the shortcomings of my weak actual combat ability were exposed, and although I had the advantage in physical strength and physical fitness, I still did not have the advantage, and ended up losing both. The fat man immediately let the fat man know, and he was just a buddy like me, of course, he didn't see me suffer, and he didn't inform me, so he went directly to the Huanghai class and beat this kid fat. In the next few years, as soon as Huang Hai saw the fat man, he habitually trembled. I really don't know when they got together.

But Huang Hai is not what he used to be, and when I came in with the fat man, I saw that he was walking a little roughly, his old suit was wrinkled, but his face was glowing red.

The fat man came in and nodded to me, and said to Huang Hai, "That's it." I can't starve you with food, so I'll clean up your room and live in a while, and work here with peace of mind. ”

Then the fat man pointed at me again: "This is Zhang Jianqiang, Zhang shopkeeper, our classmates, you still know each other." ”

Huang Hai bared his teeth and smiled. When I looked, I saw that several of my front teeth were missing. "Shoot Brother Gang, shoot Shoot." Damn, this speech is still leaky.

I stunned them both for a moment, but I also understood that this was adding another tenant to me. The question is whether I said yes or not, this fat man is too noisy.

I immediately said to the fat man, "We have only two bedrooms in it, where are you going to get him to live?" ”

The fat man's face was a little unbearable, he probably didn't expect me to have this attitude. "It's okay for him to stay with me. I always have to have someone to watch the shop when I go out, I'm saying that the shop is not my alone, and you don't want me to find someone to look at the shop? ”

I was dumbfounded, when did the shop become a joint property? What a pit.
