The unwritten rule in the antique world is that the transaction is not returned. It means that after the transaction is successful, neither the buyer nor the seller can go back.

Following the stall owner out of the pigeon market, I turned a few corners in the street and walked about two kilometers before I came to a courtyard house.

From the outside, this courtyard house is somewhat unsightly, very ordinary.

However, pushing the door in, just the shadow wall made Zhou Jimin amazed.

Good stuff!

The shadow wall, put in ancient times, is very particular, people of different classes, corresponding to different shadow walls, can not be messy.

Although Zhou Jimin doesn't know much about this thing, the shadow wall in front of him is extraordinary, which is really eye-catching.

"There is vision, this shadow wall is not small, it is cold outside, and I will tell you more about it inside."

The stall owner is also a wonderful person, and his ability to see and insert needles is not small.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

The two walked in, and the other party briefly introduced that this is a three-entry house, which is one of the best quadrangle houses in the suburbs.

The courtyard at the front gate is not small, much larger than the courtyard houses in the city, full of snowflakes, and no one cleans it.

It's not like a house that no one lives in, it can only be said that the owner of the house is lazy and unwilling to clean the courtyard.

Pushing the door in, a wave of heating suddenly came to his face, Zhou Jimin was secretly frightened, this is also a powerful master.

The courtyard houses located in the suburbs do not have unified heating by the government, or in other words, there are only a handful of places in the capital that can provide unified heating.

In other words, the house is heated by firewood.

There are about 30 to 40 houses in the three-entry house, and if each room needs heating, you can imagine how terrible the daily consumption is.

Not long after sitting down, Zhou Jimin had a brief exchange with the other party.

The rules of the antique industry are that for customers who trade for the first time and do not know each other, antique dealers must have a simple understanding of them at the very beginning.

Without understanding Zhou Jimin's collecting ability, he will not be allowed to identify and buy antiques and artworks.

Therefore, even if I sit down and talk for a while now, most of the time I am talking about things and not getting down to business at all.

Fortunately, Zhou Jimin was not in a hurry, so he did not urge the other party.

For him, this is a good opportunity to learn more about real antique players, learn some interesting things about antiques, and cultivate his hobby.

The stall owner's name is Wu Chengfeng, and he is a descendant of the children of the Eight Banners, as for which flag, the other party did not say.

In the future, this guy will probably be eager to brag about his aristocratic status, but in this era, these people can't wait to be human with their tails between their legs.

Just like Zidane, whom Zhou Jimin knew before, how dare he mention the prestige of his ancestors?

I'm afraid I'm not dying fast enough!

Of course, Wu Chengfeng also has the ingredient of putting gold on his face, so that Zhou Jimin can look at him highly, so that he can give a high price when he sells things.

There are indeed few people who are old and young who stay in the capital, and who can still mix up like people.

Of course, the last emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his life is also quite nourishing now.

Pu Yi is now a resource specialist and a librarian at the Museum of Culture and History, with a decent salary, married a wife two years ago, and although he has no children, he has a good life.

Wu Chengfeng is doing well, at least much better than Zidane's gang.

First, Wu Chengfeng's family background is solid, and listening to his own boasting, he has received a house of antiques alone.

I don't know if it's a fake from the Republic of China period, or a tattered thing that appears on the assembly line now, Zhou Jimin doesn't know, just laughing and listening to the other party's bragging.

The second is that Wu Chengfeng often wanders in the pigeon market, the suburbs and the pigeon market in the city, and he has been to visit them all.

In other words, he made a lot of money from the pigeon market.

What to eat commercial grain, quotas and the like, it has nothing to do with him.

Because this guy has a strong sense of crisis and can always get through it.

Zhou Jimin said that he must have dug a lot of basements and stored a lot of grain and firewood.

However, the other party can make so much money by relying on the pigeon market, and it seems that there are huge business opportunities in the pigeon market.

After talking about it, Wu Chengfeng got to the point, asked Zhou Jimin to wait in the house for a while, and he went to the room to get something.

After a while, Wu Chengfeng came out with a few porcelain.

As soon as he came out, Zhou Jimin felt a strong desire to devour space.

It seems that the other party didn't play with him, but really came up with something good.

He didn't speak, let alone get started, but asked with a smile:

"Is that all?"

Wu Chengfeng is not stupid, and he said with a smile:

"It's the first time we've met, these two things are enough to prove my sincerity, right?"

Hey, this means that he Zhou Jimin has no strength.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to take out two pieces of gold and a bundle of great unity from his pocket.

directly made Wu Chengfeng's eyes straight, and his breathing became a lot shorter.

"How? Can you give me a few more slap eyes? ”

"Yes, no problem, you are guaranteed to be satisfied."

Wu Chengfeng laughed directly into a chrysanthemum, his steps were fast, and he took out a few different ornaments.

Looking at that year, it is estimated to be hundreds or thousands of years old.

The bronze is a little rusty, but the more this happens, the more it proves that it is a very old antique.

Moreover, this is an antique with the strongest desire to devour space.

Zhou Jimin looked at it quietly, and said in his heart that this Wu Chengfeng is a big player, and he has a lot of treasures in his collection.

It seems that it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the other party.

If the other party wants to leave the capital at that time, he doesn't mind being this pick-up man.

Just these few antiques that are taken out now are first-class treasures.

It is conceivable how many good things the other party has in his house.

China has been up and down for 5,000 years, and there are too many valuable antiques.

Not to mention the well-known jade seals of the country, only to talk about the jade seals of the emperors of previous dynasties, they are all good things.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

There are many things that can be called national treasures, and thinking of this, Zhou Jimin is very eager to visit foreign museums.

It's a pity that he can only go to the small island in the south at most, and he can't go out of other countries at all.

However, if there is a chance, the leader is willing to take him to fly, and he is still happy to accompany him.

It's like when I went to Southeast Asia a few years ago, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to go out alone, and the country was so poor that there was nothing good at all.

Otherwise, he would not let it go.

He spent a bit of time observing antiques, but Wu Chengfeng was very patient, and there was no impatience on his face.

Moreover, he didn't get started, but just observed it closely, which made Wu Chengfeng mutter in his heart, is this a new way of tasting? Or does Zhou Jimin in front of him have a pair of magical golden boys?

In the world of antiques, there are countless magical stories about the Golden Child.

But, no one has really seen it.

In other words, anyone who really has such a pair of magical golden children will cherish their brooms.

I definitely won't tell outsiders, otherwise, there will be no other benefit than asking for trouble.

After a while, Zhou Jimin suddenly spoke:

"The condition is passable, it is indeed what I like, so I want these things. Package price, I make a big unity, how about it? ”

Burst!

Hearing Zhou Jimin's bid, Wu Chengfeng's nose was crooked, what about the vegetable market here? So cheap price, who sells who is grandson.

Therefore, he refused without hesitation, and went straight to it, ready to move these antiques in.

Seeing this, Zhou Jimin was silent and let the other party move his things.

When I moved out just now, it was as fast as lightning, but now it's slow, like a turtle.

When there was still the last ornament left, Wu Chengfeng couldn't hold back and asked, "Why don't I get you something else?" ”

"Yes, anyway, I'm just going out for a walk, and if I have good things, I'll take them, and if I don't have that, forget it, don't force it."

As soon as he heard Zhou Jimin's words, the corners of Wu Chengfeng's mouth became even more bitter, and he said in his heart that he had met an opponent.

Of course, after all, Wu Chengfeng is a veteran of the pigeon market for many years, and he will definitely not admit defeat.

In the next hour or so, Wu Chengfeng moved a lot of antiques back and forth, but none of them were sold.

If Zhou Jimin hadn't put gold and great unity on the table, he would have thought that Zhou Jimin was playing with him.

Despite this, Wu Chengfeng also had a little bit of anger, he was originally very patient, but now he has been exhausted by Zhou Jimin.

So, when he spoke, he was less polite and somewhat impatient.

But Zhou Jimin was very happy, and he played with the other party, guiding the other party step by step.

When people are irrational, it is easy to make irrational choices.

If he wanted to take down the few antiques that Wu Chengfeng had just taken out, Zhou Jimin had to play some small tricks.

In just half an hour, Wu Chengfeng had already reached the critical point, and he wanted to explode and was fascinated by the two gold sticks that Zhou Jimin took out again.

It's his nature to be greedy for money, and if he wasn't greedy, he wouldn't be able to earn this huge family business.

"The few bronze ornaments you just now, don't talk about the rust, I'm still worried that it's dirty, you dare to sell it so expensive?"

"Fart, how can it be dirty? If it's dirty, how can I possibly take it out? How else am I going to mix in this business? ”

"Anyway, I don't care, I can take these, and I don't ask anything else, but the price is expensive, if you don't drop it a little, then you better keep it for yourself."

"But you're too cheap, how can you bargain like this?"

Zhou Jimin sneered, "They are all industry insiders, what is the market now, so I don't need to repeat it to you, right?" ”

It is said that the prosperity of antiques and gold in troubled times, this sentence is not absolute.

At least at this stage, the economic level of the mainland has not yet taken off, how can there be sky-high antiques?

It can be said that the entire antique industry is in a sluggish situation, with more sellers and fewer buyers, and it is not a day or two.

And a few years ago, it was still three years of famine, and everyone couldn't eat enough, how could they buy antiques?

When Wu Chengfeng heard this, his expression changed slightly, Zhou Jimin struck while the iron was hot, and then said:

"Besides, a buyer like me, when have you ever seen it? I also packed so many antiques, Master Wu, take it when you see it. ”

When the latter said this, Wu Chengfeng struggled in his heart, but he was actually already shaking.

He can make a lot of money by selling these ornaments, after all, he really didn't spend a lot of money to collect these ornaments.

There is one thing that Zhou Jimin said very right, that is, these things are really dirty things.

The so-called dirty things are actually things that come out of ancient tombs.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so rusty.

Because after being brought out of the ancient tomb, when it encounters oxygen, it will naturally oxidize, accelerating the decay of the antique.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Chengfeng finally failed to hold on and was defeated.

Four pieces of gold, not too little.

Although the few antiques he sold were all treasures that he had repeatedly confirmed, they could not be converted into cash, and they were just dead objects.

After many years in the mainland, he knows very well that he needs to maintain absolute cash flow, food, etc., and be cunning, otherwise, he doesn't know when the family business will be corrupted.

This three-entry courtyard house is actually just a foothold for him on the outskirts of the city.

A place to bring people over on weekdays to taste antiques or meet with friends in the antique world.

The house on the outskirts of the city is not worth much, especially for his big money, it is estimated that it is the price of a fake ornament, and it can be won.

"Okay, okay, then according to what you said, the packing price of four pieces of gold."

After that, he confirmed with Zhou Jimin the fineness of the gold.

"Please!"

The latter was not annoyed, which was meant by the question.

Buying and selling, you have to inspect the goods.

He watched Wu Chengfeng busy with curiosity, and directly burned it with fire, which was very convenient.

There was a stove in the house itself, and he took scissors and cut a little bit of gold, and then put it in a small crucible specially used to test the gold, and put it in the stove to bake.

In this process, Wu Chengfeng also chatted with Zhou Jimin.

It's all idle and doesn't have any nutrients.

Soon, the gold was checked, and it was the real guy.

After working for a long time, this antique trade has finally landed.

And it's the kind of ending that everyone is happy about, well, they all secretly scold each other in their hearts for being a big wrong.

In the smiling chat, it was tacit.

"By the way, we have a party after the year, we are all friends in the antique world, everyone sits down and chats together, and tastes their respective antiques, Master Hua, if you are interested, I will send you an invitation letter at that time?"

When Zhou Jimin heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said:

"Oh, forgive me for being so lonely, I thought you were all working alone, but I didn't expect you to form an association soon."

"No problem, I'll definitely go when I have time."

What kind of invitation does it say, it's not that I hope that he, a big wrongdoer, can go to the party, and then they can take the opportunity to ship it and sell it at a high price.

After all, in these years, it is really rare to see such a bold customer as Zhou Jimin.

When Wu Chengfeng heard this, he was overjoyed, and the enthusiasm on his face was a little more, and the depression of selling those antiques just now had been swept away.

As long as he catches Zhou Jimin, a big water fish, and keeps making deals, then he will definitely make a lot of money.

The two smiled enthusiastically and talked cordially, and those who didn't know thought they were good brothers who had known each other for many years.

After agreeing on the time and place of the next meeting, Zhou Jimin packed the antiques and left the courtyard with them.

The sky outside was gray, not the sunny day he had guessed before going out today.

Even so, it's much better than a snowy day.

Back in the city, he had changed back to his original form.

In this place in the capital, there is no eye in the sky, it is indeed like a fish in water.

On the street, the smell of the New Year is not very strong, but there are already soldiers hanging lanterns on the road.

Welcome the New Year, this is the most anticipated day of the year for every dragon descendant.

Especially children, carefree age, new clothes and new hats, and New Year's money to receive, as well as playing firecrackers, eating delicious food, etc.

At home, Ding Qiunan doesn't have to go to work today, so Zhang Luo takes his children to visit the department store and join in the fun.

If in the next life, everyone would not dare to gather in crowded places, but now, it doesn't matter, you can go wherever you want.

Zhou Jimin waved his hand, let's go to the store together.

Then, the children cheered, and the fourth child, who was writing in the house, also ran out excitedly to express strong support.

So, not long after arriving home, Zhou Jimin led his children and younger siblings out again.

Zhang Wantong was not there, and I heard Ding Qiunan say that she went back to her own house and prepared New Year's goods.

In fact, she has always lived in Zhou's house, and she should buy New Year's goods with Zhou Jimin and them.

Of course, Zhou Jimin does not lack her salary, and his family's rice is not something that Da Tuanjie can buy at all.

Huang Xiaohua also went to the store with her, and only Ah Fu was left at home to guard.

By the way, there are two little milk cats, but they are lying under the stove in the kitchen to warm up for the winter, and it is impossible for them to watch the house for the time being.

Due to the late departure, when everyone was shopping in the store, they didn't pay attention to the time, until Zhou Xiaobai shouted that he was hungry, and everyone realized that they hadn't eaten lunch.

I simply went to the restaurant next to me to solve it, and there was no tossing back and forth.

The five little ones were very excited and waited for the food to be served.

The roast duck was delicious, but the little ones frowned and whispered to their father that it was not as delicious as what his father had cooked.

When the pasta was served, the little ones tasted it, their brows furrowed together, and their little faces were bitter.

"Don't waste it."

Ding Qiunan opened his mouth, so that the little ones had to swallow with tears, but they said that they would not eat the second bite.

The roast duck can barely eat a little, and the pasta is really not good.

None of them had eaten out before, and this was the first time they had made a comparison, and they realized how delicious the food at home was.

"Wait a minute, I brought a few snacks from home, let the kitchen help heat them up, you can share them."

Seeing that they were pitiful and difficult to swallow, Zhou Jimin couldn't bear to suffer them.

"yes, thank you Dad." The children were happy, but Ding Qiunan and the others cast curious eyes.

Where do you get the dim sum?

Who goes out shopping with snacks?

Zhou Jimin casually explained that it was the snack he brought when he went out in the morning, and he forgot to put it back in the kitchen just now.

After a while, he went and returned, with an extra plate of fragrant snacks in his hand.

Seeing this, the other diners hurriedly reached out and asked the waiter to bring them a plate as well.
