After nearly an hour, the four people came out of the basement. Although there were only more than 30 collections, which was not a lot, both Gan Zeping and Li Xianting felt "dazzled". There were not many things, but they were really exciting.
, each piece is worth holding in your hands and looking at carefully for a long time.
Even the pair of embroidered shoes from the late Qing Dynasty, which seemed to be relatively low in value, were so amazing. The love letter sandwiched in the soles made people think about it, fascinating, and imagined that scene at that time.
Now that he was back home, Xue Chen simply entertained the three of them at home. He glanced at the foot of the mountain along the window, told the three to wait, and went out with the fishing gear. After returning for ten minutes, he had
There is already one more fresh carp and one more grass carp.
Chen Suyuan asked in surprise: "Xiao Xue, did you just go fishing in the lotus pond?"
"Yeah, I think the lake surface in the Lotus Pond has just thawed out not long ago, and the fish in the lake must be delicious. They say that the open river fish tastes good, but the open lake fish in the Lotus Pond should not be bad either." Xue Chen pondered.
sermon.
Kaijiang fish refers to the large rivers in northern China that are frozen in winter. When the ice melts in spring, the first batch of fish are caught during that period.
As for why the price of Kaijiang fish has been soaring and it is so popular, of course it is indispensable for the hype, but it is not without merit. A more reliable theory is that the fish under the ice lack food, which will consume a lot of body fat, making the meat more elastic and tender.
Fresh and smooth, there are few impurities. When the ice on the water surface melts, the turbid gas and substances merge into the river water. Although the weight of the fish increases, the meat quality loses its deliciousness.
Gan Zeping and Li Xianting both laughed and said it was a blessing. They also praised Xue Chen's fishing skills for catching two fish in such a short time.
Chen Suyuan was the most surprised, because he was a native of Haicheng City, and he knew one thing. Although the fish in the lake is delicious, it is not easy to catch. Especially in Lianhu Lake, fishing with nets is prohibited, so the price of fish in the lake is very high.
expensive.
He is also a senior fishing enthusiast. He used to catch lake fish every year when the ice and snow on the lake melted, but sometimes he couldn't catch one in a day. The same was true for everyone else, but why was it Xue Chen's turn to be like this?
It's so simple.
But he didn't know that Xue Chen didn't catch them at all, but just for show. After arriving at the lake, he found a secluded place where there were no fishermen, and with a wave of his hand, he used his control ability to catch two fish.
The two fishes, one braised and one steamed, all tasted very good. Chen Suyuan and the three of them were full of praise.
After finishing their meal, the three of them drove away contentedly.
In the car, Gan Zeping touched his chin and summed it up by saying: "This Director Xue is a bit unusual."
Li Xianting nodded in agreement: "Yes, he seems to be a very kind and simple young man, but his impression is not simple. In short, it's hard to say."
Being invited to serve as a director of the Yunzhou Antique Collection Association was just a small incident, and Xue Chen didn't take it too seriously.
He has been out of town for more than a month this time. He plans to take a break when he comes back. The only thing he needs to do every day is to continue to operate the website.
Just as he expected, as the number of members continues to grow, more and more people are applying for appraisals online, and the number of people willing to do transactions with him will naturally increase, reaching an average of almost one customer every day.
Came from out of town.
Even if the transaction rate is only 50%, you can buy fifteen items every month and put them in an antique shop. You can resell them for a fairly objective profit, and more importantly, it will increase popularity.
In the early morning of this day, the spring breeze was warm, and the surrounding trees were sprouting green buds. Xue Chen fed Xiao Jin a pot of fresh beef. It was not that Xiao Jin had no ability to feed himself, but that he was too good at blowing.
Xue Chen was very worried that Xiao Jin would eat up all the rabbits, pheasants, and rare wild boars and deer in the surrounding mountains, so he would feed eight pounds of beef once a day!
Since he has such a large appetite, his weight is naturally even more impressive, reaching 11 kilograms.
If a person weighs 11 kilograms, he is just a child of one or two years old, but a golden eagle of this weight seems a bit amazing, especially the wings and a pair of claws.
When the wings are opened, it looks like the golden-winged roc in mythology. It is very shocking, especially in the sky, like a strange beast that has traveled from ancient times, majestic.
The two claws are as big as the palms of an adult, and the legs covered with gray hard scales are as thick as arms and as thick as steel bars.
There is no doubt that if Xiao Jin suddenly descends from the sky, he can easily kill a person in an instant.
As I watched the well-fed little golden eagle spread its wings into the sky and roar into the depths of the mountain, the cell phone in my pocket beeped twice. It was two text messages, an unfamiliar number.
The suffix is the Office of Yunzhou Antique Collecting Association.
A message was to inform him, as a director of the association, to attend the spring symposium of the association two days later.
The other message was also a notice. The text message said that a severe drought in a province in southwest my country had caused great economic losses to crops. Yes, the local farmers were suffering terribly. Now people from all walks of life are donating money, and the association also plans to Hold a charity auction to donate money. Participation is voluntary.
"Okay, let's stop by the Yang'an store and have a look."
The symposium was held two days later, but he came to Yang'an the next day. His cousin Xue Chao and his future cousin-in-law Li Xueying warmly entertained him and informed him of a happy event. The wedding date had been set.
Just next month.
Xue Chen naturally celebrated happily.
Li Xueying kept picking up food for Xue Chen. She didn't say anything, but she was grateful to Xue Chen in her heart. After receiving the care, her plastic products factory deepened its cooperation with the medical device company under the Ning Group. Now the factory's
The output value has been rising steadily, and it has become a well-known factory in Yang'an City.
Moreover, she also admired her future brother-in-law from the bottom of her heart. Especially this time when she heard Xue Chao personally talk to him about the hand cup, it opened her eyes. She never imagined that she could actually make money after buying a cup.
That amount of money is equivalent to the output value of her factory in ten years, and the combined net profit in twenty or thirty years!
"Brother Chao and Sister Ying, when you two get married, I will give you a big red envelope." Xue Chen said with a smile on his face.
The next day, he came to the convention and exhibition center where the symposium was held. It was a large auditorium with a podium and more than a dozen rows of chairs below.
He came earlier, and there were not many people in the venue yet. There were only three or two people sitting and chatting in the corners.
After he came in, he just wanted to sit down somewhere and listen to what was being discussed at the symposium. It felt quite novel.
But when he passed by the rostrum, he suddenly saw name tags placed on the table of the rostrum, one of which was his name.
He was stunned for a moment, and then scratched his head. He really didn't expect that his actions would be arranged on the rostrum.
After scanning the name tags on the rostrum, the one in the middle was Jiang Lifu, the president of the association. He had met him from a distance but had never spoken to him.
Further on both sides are Vice President Gan Zeping and other association directors, all of whom are well-known in the antique circles in Yunzhou Province. Most of them have antique-related industries, or are powerful collectors after all.
Thinking that it was a bit strange to be sitting alone on the rostrum before anyone arrived, he casually sat down in the first row directly under the rostrum.
After more than ten minutes, people arrived one after another, and the scene gradually became lively. Many members of the association who were familiar with each other chatted in small groups and burst into laughter.
Four or five well-dressed middle-aged people walked to the front row together, intending to sit in the first row or next to each other.
"Old Li, sit down, sit down."
"Mr. Liu, sit down too."
"Let's all sit down and chat. It's been a long time since we last met."
As soon as these four or five people sat down, more people came around and wanted to sit next to each other. They obviously wanted to chat and build relationships with these people who were obviously powerful and well-established in society.
Xue Chen has been playing with his phone with his head down. Of course he is not playing games, let alone chatting with people. Instead, he has logged into Joyo Antiques.com and responded to the appraisal applications in the background. Now there are dozens of applications every day. He puts the fragments
All my free time is spent on this.
"Hey, Jean, you sit in the back."
Xue Chen had just finished replying to an appraisal application when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. He looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a long face, commonly known as a donkey face, standing in front of him.
The donkey-faced man looked at Xue Chen who was playing on his mobile phone. He thought he was playing games and chatting. He frowned and thought to himself, who brought the child back.
"Go to the back and find a place to play with your phone. Don't occupy the first row. This is not your seat." The donkey-faced man waved his hand as if swatting flies.
"If you want to sit down, then you can sit down."
Xue Chen nodded, stood up, and gave up his seat in the first row.
Many people around saw this scene and chuckled. Some even smiled at the donkey-faced man and made a joke: "Manager Ma, don't scare other people's children."
Xue Chen, who is in his twenties, is indeed a child among a group of men in their forties and fifties, yes.
Manager Ma, who had a donkey face, sat down and glanced sideways at Xue Chen, who was standing aside: "Whose kid is this? Why did you bring him here?"
"do not know."
"I haven't seen it before. I don't know whose child it is."
"Bring it with you to watch the fun."
Just when a group of people were discussing who brought Xue Chen as a child, Gan Zeping walked in, spotted Xue Chen at first sight, and smiled heartily: "Hey, Director Xue, you are here, come here
, go to the rostrum and take a seat, the symposium will begin in a while, I will introduce to you President Jiang..."
"President Gan, we meet again." Xue Chen put away his phone and walked over with a smile.
The donkey-faced Manager Ma and a group of people sitting in the first and second rows looked at Xue Chen who was walking away, with strange and surprised expressions on their faces.
"Director Xue? It turns out to be him!" (To be continued)
