"Boss, would you like to collect the plum bottles?"
Holding the plum vase, he turned a corner on the street of the antique city. When he saw a store selling porcelain, Chen Ran walked directly in. Maybe the customers were attracted by Yan Ruyu. There were not many customers in this store.
Not much, just the boss and a middle-aged man in a green Tang suit standing at the counter talking quietly.
"Official kiln?"
With just one glance, the eyes of the boss and the middle-aged man in Tang suit suddenly lit up, and they even walked directly towards Chen Ran.
Nodding, Chen Ran gently placed the plum vase on the counter: "Boss, if your store accepts anything, let's see if it does!"
"Take it! Of course, take it!" The boss smiled cheerfully, with an unnoticeable expression of excitement on his face. He held the plum vase with both hands and turned it over and over, while the other middle-aged man in Tang suit also took out a magnifying glass.
Watching...
After just looking at it for a long time, the boss put the magnifying glass on the counter, raised his head, and looked at Chen Ran with a smile: "Are you planning to sell it? How much do you want to sell it for?"
"Wait a minute." Before Chen Ran could answer, he was suddenly interrupted by a middle-aged man in Tang suit. He held up the jar slightly, pointed at the inscription on the bottom of the jar, glanced at Chen Ran, and said with a heavy face:
"Look at this."
The boss just glanced at it and immediately became discouraged. He pushed the plum bottle in front of Chen Ran and waved his hand impatiently: "You should go to other stores to check. I can't eat the food accurately!"
"..." Chen Ran opened his mouth and was about to say something when his boss interrupted him as if he was chasing a broomstick: "Stop talking any more. Go out quickly and don't disturb my business. It's really unlucky!"
Chen Ran was silent. In this case, he didn't say much. He held the bottle and was about to leave. But at this moment, a sneer suddenly came from behind: "You are so crazy about money, you really think that is an old thing."
Ah, old classmate, you just stole things in school, but I didn’t expect that now that you have entered society, you still want to do such things to fool people!"
Chen Ran turned around and saw Yan Ruyu, Mr. Jiang and the old man in Chinese tunic walking in side by side. Behind them were a large group of people, all looking at Chen Ran with disdain. The one who laughed at Chen Ran was the old man in Chinese tunic who was following him.
Zhou Jianyun beside me.
"Hey, Teacher Yan, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Lu, you are here, please come quickly!" Seeing Yan Ruyu and others walking in, the boss immediately greeted them enthusiastically.
Sighing softly, Chen Ran didn't want to talk to them anymore. Facts would prove who is the wiser. Thinking of Bai Lao's porcelain shop, he was going to go to Bai Lao's shop to have a look, but he didn't know where it was.
Chen Ran didn't want to pay attention to them and was about to leave, but someone didn't want him to leave. He only heard someone yelling angrily: "Stop!"
"You really can't teach a child!" Mr. Jiang seemed to be stimulated. He pointed at Chen Ran with his hand, as if he hated iron and steel: "I told you just now, why didn't you listen?
, you said that what you did was not good, and you had to go down the wrong path. If you buy this high imitation, I don’t care what your intentions are for buying it, I can’t control you, and I can’t stop you, but if you want
If you want to transfer this high-quality imitation to the real thing, I can only stop you. I can't just watch you use a fake to deceive others..."
"Lao Jiang, let's just leave him alone. There is no cure for such a person. I originally thought he was just trying to please the public, but I didn't expect that this guy is not only trying to please the public, but also has a vicious heart. I bought it at a low price."
Counterfeit goods, and then try every possible means to pass them off as genuine and sell them at a high price, you are really very calculating!"
The old man in Chinese tunic suit, also known as Mr. Lu, also stared at Chen Ran with an angry face, as if Chen Ran had made a big mistake that was outraged by both humans and gods.
"Grandpa, let him take it and sell it. It would be really strange if he could sell it with such an obvious flaw!" Zhou Jianyun naturally would not let go of such an opportunity to ridicule Chen Ran.
Everyone else also looked at Chen Ran with disdain. Only the boss and the middle-aged man in Tang suit looked at the scene in front of them in confusion.
"Are you in a hurry to use money?" Yan Ruyu, who had been looking at Chen Ran with a calm face, suddenly spoke at this time. Her water-like eyes always gave people an aura of agility: "If you are in a hurry to use it,
If you want money, you can keep this plum vase with me first, and then take it from me when you have the money!"
As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of exclamations and praises from the whole audience.
"Teacher Yan, don't trust such a person. It's obvious that he is a liar!"
"How can you believe such a person!"
"Teacher Yan is so kind!"
"Teacher Yan, it's not worth it for this kind of person."
…
Zhou Jianyun also said anxiously: "Miss Yan, this person is my old classmate. He was expelled for stealing things in school. You can't believe him!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience roared again: "So he was a thief before, no wonder!"
…
"I said, can you give in?"
Chen Ran was also a little angry. He could remain calm in the face of people's accusations, but people blocked the door and refused to let him out, which made him a little impatient.
Unexpectedly, his shouting like this would offend the public, and for a while everyone started to attack him, saying anything.
In the end, Mr. Jiang waved his hand and asked everyone to quiet down. After the whole place quieted down, Mr. Jiang looked at Chen Ran, sighed softly, and said seriously: "Young man, I don't know what you have done before.
, I don’t want to know, that’s all in the past, if you look back now, it’s still too late, listen to me, just keep this plum vase for yourself, don’t think about taking action, even if you want to take action.
, as long as I am here, I will not watch you take action. How about this, you bought the plum vase for two thousand, and now I bid two thousand, you will give me the plum vase. How about it?
?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Chen Ran.
"I don't want to talk to you more. Really, it's useless to talk more. Mei Ping, whether I give in or not is my own business and has nothing to do with you. Please let me out now!" Chen Ran frowned and said calmly.
said.
"It's really unreasonable!" Zhou Jianyun sneered and looked at Mr. Jiang: "Mr. Jiang, just let him sell it. Let's see if he can sell it!"
Mr. Jiang sighed softly, turned aside, and made way for Chen Ran: "Young man, I advise you not to waste your efforts. As long as I am here, you can't sell it!"
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Chen Ran said in a calm tone, and was about to leave, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned around and said to the owner of the porcelain shop: "Boss, can I borrow the gauze from your store?"
The boss was stunned for a moment, then nodded, walked to the counter, stretched out his hand and pulled out a piece of gauze and threw it to Chen Ran: "Take it and use it, I'll give it to you."
"Thank you!"
Reaching out and grabbing the gauze in his hand, Chen Ran held the plum vase in one hand and held the plum vase in the other as he walked away calmly through a path vacated by the crowd. Mr. Jiang followed closely behind him with a frown, and Yan Ruyu followed closely.
He followed, a thoughtful look flashing in his bright eyes.
The rest of the people also followed behind with a lot of discussion. Most of them followed the joke. Zhou Jianyun would sarcastically comment on Chen Ran from time to time, or say something about Chen Ran stealing things in school.
It also made the atmosphere of the crowd more lively.
When other people in the antique city saw this scene, they also came up curiously. After asking about the whole story, they also followed behind with great interest, so that such a scene appeared in the antique city.
screen.
Chen Ran held the plum bottle and walked calmly at the front, five or six steps behind him, followed by Mr. Jiang who was fuming, Yan Ruyu and Mr. Lu who were walking side by side with a hint of disdain, and behind him was Zhou Jianyun, and Zhou Jianyun
A large group of people followed behind.
Although the antique city is not small, but such an incident happened, it spread throughout the entire antique city in a short time, so that more and more people joined in the fun. At a glance, there was a large, bustling, and detailed
To put it into perspective, there were hundreds of people.
And Chen Ran, who was walking at the front, seemed to be a bit dominant!
The name of Bai Lao's porcelain shop is Luo Baoxuan. Chen Ran heard about this name from Gao Qiang, but he didn't know the specific location, but he just asked passers-by and asked.
Tea No. 2, porcelain No. 3, calligraphy and painting No. 5, stone No. 7...
Luo Baoxuan is right opposite the entrance of Hutong No. 3!
When Chen Ran arrived in front of Luo Baoxuan's door, there were already too many people following him. The group of people was lively and loud laughter could be heard from time to time. Mr. Jiang stopped him several times.
He asked the crowd to disperse, but it had no effect at all, which made him even more angry. He was already considering whether to let the Cultural Relics Bureau intervene in the matter. Strictly speaking, Chen Ran was breaking the law by confusing the fake with the real.
.
Of course, this is what Jiang Lao thinks about himself.
Luo Baoxuan's store has a strong ancient charm. As soon as Chen Ran stepped into the threshold, a familiar greeting came to his ears.
"Xiao Ran, hehe, why did you come to me? What you are holding is... the official kiln?"
Chen Ran looked around and saw Mr. Bai sitting on the tea seat in the hall, holding a cup of tea and looking at him with a smile. After seeing clearly the plum vase he was holding, he froze there.
"Mr. Bai, I just found a plum vase, please help me take a look at it!" Chen Ran was not polite, and walked directly towards the teahouse with the plum vase in his arms.
"Haha, what Xiaoran bought must be good stuff!" Hearing that the official kiln in Chen Ran's arms was bought by Chen Ran, Bai Lao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up with a smile, waiting for Chen Ran to pick it up.
After the plum bottle was gently placed on the table, he patted Chen Ran on the shoulder: "Xiao Ran, I didn't praise you in vain, old man. If you have any good things, just give them to me here. I'll tell you, wait for you later
If you find good stuff, whether it’s porcelain or anything else, send it to me first. I won’t lose you in terms of price—”
As Bai Lao was talking, he was suddenly stunned!
"Oh, Mr. Jiang, you are such a rare visitor. You actually showed up in my store!" Mr. Bai looked at Mr. Jiang standing at the door with a surprised expression. Both Mr. Bai and Mr. Jiang were very knowledgeable about porcelain.
Naturally, they are familiar with each other personally, but there was some grudge between the two of them when they were young, and even now, no one agrees with the other.
"You don't have to worry about me, let's take a look at the goods first!" Mr. Jiang stood at the door and did not enter the house. He pointed at the plum vase with a straight face and said angrily.
At this time, Mr. Bai also saw Yan Ruyu and Mr. Lu walking in, and even saw that his door was blocked by someone!
"Xiao Ran, what's going on?" Mr. Bai looked at Chen Ran with a confused look. Chen Ran didn't say much, just pointed at the plum vase: "Mr. Bai, please take a look at the goods first.
Make a price and I’ll give it to you!”
Nodding, Mr. Bai didn't ask any more questions. He took the plum bottle in his hand and looked at it carefully. When he observed, he always maintained a rigorous look on his face, which made it impossible to tell anything.
While Mr. Bai was looking around, Mr. Jiang and others also entered the room, and everyone else squeezed in. Those who couldn't squeeze in stuck their heads and observed. Although there were whispers, the whole place seemed very quiet.
.
Bai Lao looked at it very seriously. He looked at it for more than 20 minutes before looking up and down the plum vase. After reading it, he put down the plum vase and looked at Chen Ran: "Xiao Ran, do you have an estimate?"
"I don't quite understand the price..."
Chen Ran didn't say he didn't know much about porcelain, but said he didn't know much about prices.
"Yes!" Nodding, Mr. Bai pondered again, then raised his eyes to look at Chen Ran: "Since you brought the things to me, I won't let you suffer. What do you think of 210,000?"
Chen Ran smiled slightly: "Deal!"
"What?"
Mr. Jiang was dumbfounded on the spot!
Yan Ruyu was also dumbfounded!
Mr. Lu was also dumbfounded!
Zhou Jianyun was also dumbfounded!
Bai Lao's words were like a big stone thrown into a calm lake. With a bang, it set off waves that were higher than the previous one, and made everyone including Jiang Lao dumbfounded!
"..."
