Chapter 267 Visiting an Antique Shop

He thought that he had finally ended his twenty-year bachelor career, and after tasting meat last night, he felt inexplicably excited.

With his appetite whetted, he ate all the noodles left in the pot, washed the pots and bowls, and then changed into work clothes and rode to the construction site.

After Yu Qing and others left, she got up, changed clothes, and prepared to go out.

When I was sitting in front of the dressing table combing my hair, I noticed a few red marks on my neck. It was very obvious. With a discerning eye, you might be able to figure out what was going on. In my mind, I scolded a man who was riding a bicycle as a snake countless times.

She was wearing a shirt today, and the collar was already high.

It’s impossible to wear a turtleneck to go out in mid-April weather, right?

Yu Qing, who was at a loss for what to do, entered the studio and remembered that she had forgotten to turn on the computer to check the orders in the past few days.

I turned on my computer and shipped all the orders that had piled up in the past few days, and then I noticed the dialog box. There was a message from the buyer who bought her antiques last time.

Ask her if she still has any antiques, if so, he is willing to buy them at a high price.

antique?

If you meet someone who knows how to do this, it will indeed be a very profitable business. How about going to the antique street in the afternoon if you have nothing to do?

Take action when your heart moves.

Yu Qing turned off her computer and went to the warehouse. She looked around but couldn't find any turtleneck clothes suitable for this season. Finally, she found dozens of silk scarves in the corner.

She took out a plain floral silk scarf and tied it around her neck, perfectly covering the red marks and adding to her intellectual beauty.

Pushing her women's bicycle out of the studio, she locked the courtyard door and headed towards the old street.

The old street was originally an alley without a name. Later, more and more antiques were sold here, and it naturally formed an antique street selling old items. As the name suggests, there is nothing wrong with calling it an old street.

When Yu Qing arrived here on her bicycle, it was already past noon. Many people in the state-owned antique stores had just woken up from their naps, and many stalls were set up on the street.

In this era, as long as the state-owned stores represent credibility, they are very important in the hearts of the people. They all feel that the items in state-owned stores are of high quality and are of high quality and low prices.

Yu Qing is no exception. When she first entered this street, the first store she entered was a state-owned antique store.

When I entered the store, I saw that it was a very ordinary store. Except for the entrance wall, the other three walls were lined with rows of shelves, with many types of antiques on them.

In front of the shelves is a counter, an old-fashioned counter with a wooden frame and glass. There are some small items placed on the counter.

It is such an ordinary shop that cannot be more ordinary. Who can find valuable old items in it depends on one's ability.

Yu Qing is just a newbie. At first glance, she thought the old items on the counter might be genuine.

"Little comrade, what do you like?"

An old gentleman looked at Yu Qing lying on the counter with a smile, staring straight at the old objects inside.

Yu Qing didn't know which one was authentic, let alone which one to start with. She just relied on her eyesight. She pointed to a bowl placed on the counter and asked, "Can I take this bowl out and have a look?"

"Okay." The old gentleman brought out the small wooden box with the bowl.

Yu Qing picked it up carefully and looked at the sunlight outside the door. It could not penetrate the light. There were words printed on the bottom of the bowl, "Made in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes, this is a Xuande blue-glazed bowl. This bowl is dignified and elegant, with a thick body and natural and beautiful abdominal lines. Therefore, it is impossible for light to pass through when you shine it in the sun." The old man explained.

Yu Qing pretended to take a closer look, only to see the exquisite workmanship and nothing else.

"Old comrade, how much does this cost?"

The old gentleman held out a finger and said, "One hundred yuan."

"A hundred yuan, so expensive?" Yu Qing exclaimed, shaking her head repeatedly, "You charge a hundred yuan for such a broken bowl, and you are killing a pig!"

The old man had a black line on his head and knocked on the table, "Comrade, please pay attention to your words. This store is run by the public. If you give it a try, you will get ten points for it. You are a good person."

Yu Qing was stunned for a moment, pretending to be a little village girl who had never seen the world before, "You think this is genuine?"

The old gentleman nodded with a straight face, "Yes!"

"If it's fake, I'll come to you and you'll pay ten for every fake one?" Yu Qing seemed worried and confirmed again.

"Refund with ticket and pay for it."

Yu Qing looked at other old objects again, "Okay, what else do you think you have here that are genuine? Take them all out and let me take a look."

The old gentleman glanced at her suspiciously, and finally took down four or five collections from the antique shelves at the back.

"These are all."

Yu Qing pointed to a box that looked like a lacquer box and asked, "What is this?"

This was the first time that the old gentleman met a newbie who didn't know anything and dared to visit the antique street.

He took a deep breath and introduced: "The lacquer box with rhinoceros moire pattern."

"What is rhinoceros?"

"Rhinoceros carving is a technique of carving lacquer. A variety of lacquers are regularly applied layer by layer on the wooden body to a certain thickness, and then patterns are carved... Therefore, the decorative patterns are mostly graceful cloud patterns, also known as 'clouds'.

eagle'."

Yu Qing felt ashamed after hearing this. The culture in antiques was broad and profound. As someone who didn't understand anything, she didn't want to ask any more questions.

Shame on you!

She felt that all she had to do was ask, "Old comrade, can you take out these items to confirm that they are all genuine?"

"confirm!"

"What are the prices?"

"Seventy lacquer boxes, eighty-eight blue and white pot-bellied vases, one hundred marble screens, and sixty Qing Dynasty red sandalwood penholders. Do you want these?"

Yu Qing pretended to be a silly girl and waved her hand, "As long as it's genuine, I want it."

In fact, I almost laughed in my heart. I bought five pieces for more than 400 yuan. If they were all genuine, she would give them away. As long as one of them was genuine, she would still make money.

In this era, people have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing. Antiques are really cheap, and there are more genuine ones than in later generations, at least they are easy to find.

The old gentleman expressed doubts and reminded: "There are five items in total. Can you carry them back alone?"

Everything is packed in a box, and five of them are put away. Can this girl carry it back alone?

Don't get snatched away halfway!

"Please, old man, please help me tie it up with a rope. I rode my bicycle over here. I'll tie it to the back of the bicycle and hump it back later."

The old gentleman nodded to express his understanding, and waved a young man over to help her sort out the goods, and he helped her write out the invoice.

Yu Qing came out of the antique shop, tied all the boxes in the back seat of the car, and rode home instead of walking deeper into the old street.

The streets in the city were not too wide and were not as crowded as in later generations. Most of the shops on the streets were brick buildings and a few sheds.

Most of the shop door frames are removable wooden doors, and there are no rolling shutters in later generations.

Although the streets are old, they are full of business opportunities. When the spring breeze of reform blows across the country, how many people will ride on this spring breeze and stand up.

Yu Qing remembered the last time Xiang Yisen said he wanted to buy a house, but she didn't know if he had bought his house?

"Comrade Yu."
