After half an hour of picking at the counter, Chu Heng let go of the broken plates and bowls with satisfaction and did not continue to mess with them.
Maybe it's because everyone is short of money to celebrate the New Year. There were a lot of people selling old things during the New Year period, so he received quite a lot of goods today.
In just such a short time, he got a total of three pieces of porcelain, a colorful lotus pond porcelain plate from the Xuande official kiln of the Ming Dynasty, a fine blue and white brush wash from the Qianlong folk kiln of the Qing Dynasty, and a cloisonné bowl from the Guangxu official kiln.
His money is seventy-eight cents.
But they are all very good stuff.
After leaving the counter of pots and pans, Chu Heng wiped himself and went to the old furniture store. He spent four yuan to buy a red sandalwood armchair, and then left the trust store happily.
He got on the bike and went to a deserted place to put away his things. He left only the blue and white brush that was a bit unclear and put it in his bag, and then rode the bike to a nearby cultural relics store.
He was going to ask Master Zhang to take a look at him and chat with him for a while, so as to keep in touch with him.
The sun is shining brightly today, it is warm and even a bit dazzling.
Chu Heng was bathing in the sunlight at the end of winter, walking leisurely and leisurely, enjoying this lazy time.
More than ten minutes later, he arrived at the place.
After parking the car to the purchasing department and locking it, Chu Heng walked into the store carrying his bag.
There were no customers in the store. Zhang Yiyan was lazily leaning against the counter and flipping through a pile of old papers. His old partner Liu Minan was half asleep and half-awake, sitting on a chair and taking a nap. The old man was in his fifties and had a very plump figure. He often
He was staring blankly, probably a bit high.
"Bang!"
"Happy New Year to Master Zhang, happy New Year to Master Liu." Chu Heng opened the door and walked into the room with a smile. He bowed his hands and said New Year's greetings. He took out a cigarette from his bag and sent one to each of them in a familiar manner.
"It's been a while since Xiao Chu came." Liu Min'an wiped his face vigorously and became much more energetic. He took the cigarette and lit it with a smile, joking: "What kind of rags did you receive today?"
"Look what you said, I can still collect rags every day." Chu Heng carefully took out the pen wash from his bag and put it on the counter. He said to the two of them: "You two are in trouble."
Zhang didn't look at anything first, but looked at him, raised his brows, and asked: "Hey, look at the way you are dressed, does this mean you have been promoted?"
"You are really discerning. You just became the director a few days ago." Chu Heng admitted generously.
"Hey, I remember you are only in your twenties, right? You are young and promising, you are young and promising." Liu Minan next to him was a little sad. Look at others, he will become an official if he works hard, and then look at himself, he is about to retire.
He's still a little kid.
Although his salary and benefits are much more than Chu Heng...
"Just a small official, not worth mentioning." Chu Heng waved his hand with a smile, pushed the brush forward, and asked: "The pattern and glaze color of this brush are quite similar to Qianlong's, but the body is a bit different.
That's not quite right, you two will end the next generation."
"He's good at this at first glance. He'll do it as soon as he comes. I won't show off in front of Mr. Guan." Liu Min'an pointed at his partner confidently.
"Then let me show you." Zhang glanced at the brush wash with a smile, then reached out to turn it over and looked at the cigarette, then put it down and explained to him: "The exquisite folk kilns in the late Qianlong period, you two
It's normal if you can't see it with the five eyes. The porcelain of Emperor Qianlong's period was smooth and smooth in the early stage, but gradually became rough in the later period. It's somewhat similar to that of Emperor Jiaqing. It's hard to tell without any skill."
Chu Heng put a pack of cigarettes on the counter with a smile, and humbly asked for advice: "Please tell me if you are troubled."
"I'm in a good mood today, let me teach you a lesson." Zhang Yi smiled and put away the cigarette, then went back to the warehouse in the back room to get a few pieces of Qianlong and Jiaqing porcelain, and compared them while explaining them to him.
The differences and characteristics of porcelain from the two dynasties.
Liu Min'an sat there for a while and joined in, giving some pointers from time to time.
Chu Heng listened and watched attentively and benefited a lot.
The three of them chatted for a long time, and finally a customer came to the shop.
He was a middle-aged man, wearing a tattered jacket. He was a bit thin, with protruding cheekbones and sunken eye sockets on his face. He looked around at him suspiciously when he entered the room.
What he came to sell was a gilt Buddha statue from the Ming Dynasty. It was exquisite in shape, vivid and thickly coated with paste. It was an object with a large door.
Zhang glanced at the man, then took a magnifying glass and slowly looked at the Buddha statue. However, Chu Heng noticed that he made a vague gesture with unknown meaning to Liu Minan next to him.
Liu Minan immediately retreated into the small door silently, not knowing what he was doing.
Chu Heng immediately felt something unusual.
Zhang is famous for seeing things quickly, but at this moment, he was holding a magnifying glass and looking at a real Buddha statue. And judging from the little actions between him and Liu Minan just now, it was obvious that there was something fishy.
.
He excitedly lit a cigarette and silently stepped aside to wait for his meal.
As time passed by, the seller saw Zhang staring at things without speaking, so he impatiently urged: "Master, how much do you want to pay me?"
"Why are you so anxious? I have to look carefully. If the money is less, would you like it?" Zhang glared at the man, then continued to look calmly.
The man scratched the back of his neck when he heard this, but did not urge him any more. He paced back and forth in front of the counter with his hands behind his back, looking very irritated.
After a short while, Liu Minan, who had just entered the small door of the house, came in from the outside, followed by two police officers.
He pointed at the somewhat panicked man and said to the police officer: "That's the guy."
The police immediately took out the handcuffs and came forward, saying with an unkind expression: "Come with us."
The man rolled his eyes, quickly calmed down, and stood there dejectedly, looking like he was waiting for death.
However, Chu Heng noticed that the man's left foot moved back half a step and made a starting posture. His eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly pushed to the door, eager to become an enthusiastic crowd.
When the two police officers walked up to the man and were about to grab his wrists and cuff him, the man suddenly exerted force on his feet and rushed forward.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, the policeman on the right punched him in the face.
"Still want to run?"
"Boom!"
The man was immediately hit with a black eye and fell back dizzy.
Soon, the guy and the Buddha statue were taken away by two police comrades.
Chu Heng, who was not regarded as an enthusiastic member of the public, smacked his lips in disappointment, turned to Zhang and asked: "I said, Master Zhang, what is going on?"
"That person has one or three hands and no eyes, yet he dared to get away with it like me." Zhang glanced and curled his lips with disdain.
Chu Heng became even more curious: "How did you tell? What if someone else is not the same?"
Zhang pointed at his bright eyes and said with an arrogant smile: "My eyes can not only see antiques!"
Chu Heng found it very interesting and pointed at himself: "Then look at who I am."
"you?"
Zhang looked at him with a smile and said calmly: "I've seen it a long time ago. You have big things on your mind, you have a lot of money in your pocket, and you're a horny ghost. If you want to wait for a long time, you will definitely
I am a frequent visitor to Bada Hutong.”
Chu Heng blinked after hearing this, and said with no confidence: "Hey, you can't slander someone's innocence. I, Mr. Chu, am an upright person. I once took away the girl who threw her arms into my arms, so why did I become a evil spirit!
"
"He...tui!" Zhang glanced at him and disdained to argue with him.
