I work in the company during the day, and then I have to study all night long after I get home. It’s no wonder that I feel so energetic.
Of course Chen Wenzhe didn't know this, and he wouldn't ask about other people's private lives. Therefore, after the pawn shop opened for business, he began to watch Zhao Fei and Ye Chengfeng busy.
Today I made an appointment with Zhou Quansheng to meet at ten o'clock, but I don't know how much gold he wants to mortgage in a mysterious way.
On Wednesday, the business hall is not too busy, and generally everything can be sorted out within an hour of opening.
After all, in this era, there are very few ordinary people who own antiques, and even ordinary people will not come to pawn things on the counter.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe's counter is quite relaxed.
It's just that, while it's easy here, it's not so easy elsewhere, so people come here from time to time to find trouble!
No, it must be that from time to time someone brings something and is recommended to his counter.
Originally, for some miscellaneous items, I should go to the miscellaneous counter, but there is no good appraiser at the miscellaneous store, so I have to go to Chen Wenzhe.
In fact, many people come here to fish in troubled waters, or simply come to have sex for free.
Among these people, some come to try their luck, and more are familiar with the pawn shop business and come here to do prostitution for free.
However, the water inside was also very deep, so Chen Wenzhe just looked at it without saying a word.
Therefore, as time goes by, some people will just look for boredom.
Unfortunately, in this world, there are many people who are pursuing profits, but the antique shop is: after confirming the eyes (cultural relics), this is a shortcut to make a fortune!
It's not unreasonable to say that the water is deep. For example, the person in front of me doesn't know what's going on. Maybe he came to look for trouble because he saw Chen Wenzhe and the others enjoying their time here.
If you don’t believe it, look at this “lifelike” Qi Baishi prawn. If you take a quick look, you’ll think it’s a great painting!
It’s just like a real dime! Open your eyes and look again, it turns out it’s real!
This customer wants to laugh me to death so he can inherit my Ant Huabei, right?
Chen Wenzhe listened to this Bai Huo with a confused look on his face.
"I am forced to sell my ancestral Qi Baishi's small scroll because of the pressure of life. I could have replaced it with a gray machine, but now it only costs 300. You have to hurry up, or else the shrimp inside will die!"
Indeed, there was a painting of a shrimp in it, and it looked like it was really going to die. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been frightened just now, thinking that the shrimp in the painting was alive.
This painting is beyond words!
After sending this person away, Chen Wenzhe realized that this person was also a poor man. He had been deceived once, couldn't stand the stimulation, and began to become mentally abnormal. He was a frequent visitor to the pawn shop, but this was the first time Chen Wenzhe saw him.
In fact, these weird paintings are pretty good, and there are some antiques that can really break your imagination.
For example, Guangxi Yuanbao, duck jar cup, sunflower treasure book, it can be said that people have sent everything to the pawn shop to test the water.
Of course, among these strange antiques, there are always some treasures.
For example, right now, Chen Wenzhe is chatting with Mao Qinglin from the painting and calligraphy department. After listening to him talk about the weird antiques, Wen Liang from the miscellaneous department comes over.
They ran into trouble over there. They wanted to ask Chen Wenzhe to come over and take a look at some antiques that looked like antiques but could not be identified.
Come over and take a look, it's really a good thing. At least the box where the treasure is stored outside must be a good thing.
Chen Wenzhe just took a look and found that it was a rosewood box.
A box of this level cannot contain fish eyes, right?
I looked at the owner of the things. He was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. He was fairly reliable.
Chen Wenzhe sat down, opened the box, and took a closer look.
There were five or six things in the box, none of them big. The first thing he looked at was something similar to a pipa, but this pipa was too small.
And there is a copper piece placed in front of this small pipa?
This was obviously a set of things, but for a moment, Chen Wenzhe couldn't figure out what it was.
"Looking at the saved state, you should know what this is, right?" Chen Wenzhe looked up at the middle-aged man and said.
The middle-aged man said directly: "This is my grandfather's collection. He has passed away many years ago. If we hadn't found this small box when we were packing things, none of us would have remembered that we still had this thing at home. If we couldn't see it,
, maybe just throw it away.”
After a slight pause, the middle-aged man said excitedly: "Look, there are gems on it, it should be very valuable, right?"
Chen Wenzhe was speechless. The owner didn't even know what this was. It seemed like he was cheating.
However, before cheating, he wanted to save himself. What if he was identified?
This is the fun of antique appraisal. It would be too boring to simply rely on means to cheat.
Unfortunately, his knowledge was still a bit lacking, so he finally had to use his hands and touch it.
In fact, you can now activate the retroactive skill without touching him, but I always feel that if you don't touch him, the golden finger you use will have no soul.
As soon as he touched it, the feeling came. This time, he was really surprised. This was actually a lock?
No, the three sets of six cultural relics stored in this small box are all ancient locks.
This is so collectible. This is the first time he has seen such a strange and exquisite lock.
"Double reed lock?"
For a moment, Chen Wenzhe couldn't figure out what era this thing was made in, but he was sure that it was an ancient lock.
"What?" Nong Shaolin and Wen Liang both asked in surprise.
"This is the lock, and next to it is the key!"
These are all brass products. The one in my hand is in the shape of a pipa. There is a dragon-shaped relief on the front of the body. The top of the handle is in a wishful shape and is inlaid with jade.
The key is also made of brass, and the handle is embossed with a human face. You can even see the incense scar on the forehead, which looks like a "monk".
You will never forget such a strange lock once you see it, so Chen Wenzhe is sure that he has never seen it before, whether in ancient or modern times, in reality or in dreams.
Put down the lute lock and pick up the copper scorpion next to it.
It is even more difficult to see why this lock came because it does not seem to be a domestic product.
"This is a scorpion copper lock. It seems to have originated from Egypt. It is made entirely of copper. The shape of the lock and key is quite realistic. It is generally used by the government in Egypt and is very rare."
"You know this too?" Zhao Fei also squeezed over at some point.
Chen Wenzhe didn't look at her at all, because he saw another familiar picture.
I remember when I looked at the pair of Yuan Dynasty porcelains before, they seemed to have been to Asan Kingdom, and this lock seemed to have also lived in Asan Kingdom.
"If you didn't know the situation, who would have thought that this animal-shaped thing could actually be a lock?"
Looking at the strange little beast made of brass and the key placed next to it, where did it come from?
However, this thing seems to be made in China, but I don’t know what period it was made in.
