Liu Yuan has never been ignored since he joined Jiang Qian, but because of Zhou Zichen's arrival, Liu Yuan was squeezed out by Zhou Zichen and had no status at all.
Of course, this was Liu Yuan's own wishful thinking. Zhou Zichen did not deliberately exclude him at all, and even gave him enough face in the beginning. But if this boy didn't cherish it, then Zhou Zichen would naturally not save face for him.
"Then you should talk about it carefully! You are young, but your tone is not bad!" Liu Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of evil, this Zhou Zichen actually dared to refute his own face like this, he must make him look good!
"Hey, don't say that. I have no breath, but your breath is quite strong. I can smell it from such a distance." Zhou Zichen pinched his nose and pretended to fan himself, but in fact he didn't smell anything at all.
The expression on Liu Yuan's face was even worse. This Zhou Zichen was simply here to target him!
"Liu Yuan! That's it!" Jiang Qian was a little dissatisfied by Liu Yuan's attitude. Of course he knew Liu Yuan's temperament. Being competitive is the most basic thing. The key is that he doesn't know how to be humble.
And Zhou Zichen did this very well. At least Zhou Zichen was not as arrogant as Liu Yuan.
"It's okay, Mr. Jiang, do you mind if I teach your apprentice a lesson today?" Zhou Zichen had a faint smile on his face. Since Liu Yuan wanted to see his joke, he didn't mind slapping him back. What else could I say when I looked at Liu Yuan?
"This..." Jiang Qian hesitated a little. He didn't think it was useful for Zhou Zichen to teach Liu Yuan a lesson, but he was afraid that Zhou Zichen wouldn't be able to recognize all the things. There were thousands of treasures on this floor, and Zhou Zichen just couldn't. You can't see everything in a short period of time, right?
Zhou Zichen was not in a hurry. He glanced at Liu Yuan and smiled at him with contempt. Liu Yuan almost broke his teeth. This Zhou Zichen, I will let him be arrogant for a while longer!
"Please do it." Seeing the serious look on Zhou Zichen's face, Jiang Gan knew that he had made up his mind and had no choice but to let Zhou Zichen go.
"I'm going... is it true? President Jiang actually agreed? Isn't this incredible?" There were voices like this all around, and some people expressed their disbelief that Jiang Gan would tolerate Zhou Zichen to teach his apprentice, and Some people feel that Zhou Zichen cannot recognize them all.
But no matter what kind of mentality he came with, more and more people gathered here, and for a while the hall on the first floor was filled with people. Zhou Zichen saw that almost everyone came, and then he slowly walked towards The display cabinet on the side.
It's a slap in the face, if you want to slap it, hit it hard!
"I just made a rough calculation and found that there are almost more than 1,200 antiques here. In order not to waste everyone's time, I decided to select some of them for identification..."
Zhou Zichen walked to a display cabinet, turned around and said, but as soon as he said these words, the scene instantly burst into boos, and everyone lost interest, thinking that Zhou Zichen was some kind of peerless genius, but in fact, isn't that the case? ?
"But! In order not to bully you!" Zhou Zichen turned around and pointed at Liu Yuan, and then continued: "I decided to let you pick which part. Doesn't this count as bullying? I don't know where you want me to look. , maybe you’re lucky enough to encounter the one and only chance that I can’t recognize?”
Zhou Zichen's domineering voice resounded throughout the audience, and countless people stared blankly at Zhou Zichen. How confident do you have to be in yourself to say something like this? Either you are confident in yourself, or you are just showing off.
But everyone would rather choose the first possibility. If it is the second possibility, if they look at a fool for so long, wouldn't it be equivalent to being tricked by the fool?
Liu Yuangang was about to ridicule Zhou Zichen, but when he heard what Zhou Zichen said next, he was really stunned. He said that he was not bullying himself? Who is he? What qualifications does he have to bully himself?
"Okay, since you asked for it, I won't talk nonsense. Have you seen the thirteenth display cabinet in the East District? It's a grocery store. It has everything. Most of it is not recorded. I want to see it.
Let’s see how awesome you can be!”
Seeing how arrogant Zhou Zichen was, Liu Yuan naturally chose antiques that even he couldn't remember. The entire East District was full of grocery stores, and the Thirteenth District was basically where they just threw them in without even bothering to look.
This is not to say that there are no good products, but that some of these things are top-quality and some are shabby, but appreciating these things will take a lot of time, so they simply put them there, and anyone who likes them can just tell them a similar price.
Take it away.
Zhou Zichen was happy when he saw the thirteenth display cabinet in the east area. Isn't this the situation he liked to encounter when he was picking up things before? It doesn't matter whether the things are valuable or not, they all have the same price, and if you like them, you can take them away.
"Okay..." Zhou Zichen was a little helpless. He originally thought that it would be a waste of time if he went to see some calligraphy and paintings, but looking at those things saved a lot of time.
Liu Yuan looked at Zhou Zichen with a sarcastic expression. This guy agreed directly without even going. He was looking forward to what Zhou Zichen's face would look like later!
Zhou Zichen walked to the counter and asked the waiter in front of the counter: "Can I take it out? Otherwise, if I just point it out, no one will know which one is which, lest some people say I am talking nonsense."
When Zhou Zichen said this, he looked at Liu Yuan. The meaning was self-evident, he was talking about Liu Yuan!
Liu Yuan's face was very ugly, because Zhou Zichen not only understood him, but even didn't blink when he saw the grocery store! This was not the script he expected!
"Excuse me." The counter clerk was happy and let Zhou Zichen walk in directly.
After Zhou Zichen walked in, he took a cursory glance and took a look at the nearly fifty antiques in less than twenty seconds.
Most of these items were of little value. There was even a jar for pickling vegetables, which I didn't know where it came from. It looked like a chamber pot.
"Ahem..." Zhou Zichen cleared his throat, and then continued: "Since everyone wants to see how much I weigh, I can't spoil everyone's interest, so I'll start!"
When Zhou Zichen saw that everyone's eyes were fixed on him, he picked up the first antique, which was the jar he saw before, the one specially used for pickles.
"This thing... although the smell is no longer there, I think everyone should know what it is used for." Zhou Zichen went up to sniff it, and then continued: "Yes, it is a jar for pickling!
"
Zhou Zichen looked so matter-of-fact that everyone was stunned. Everyone knew what he meant. Didn't he mean that this thing was a chamber pot? How did it become a pickle jar?
"Hahaha! Zhou Zichen! Even if you don't understand, are you still blind? This thing looks so obvious, can't you see it?!" Liu Yuan laughed a few times, almost laughing without tears,
Everyone knows what this is, why is Zhou Zichen so blind?
"You are indeed not blind, but there may be something wrong with your nose. Can't you smell such a strong smell of pickles?" Zhou Zichen looked at Liu Yuan with a sarcastic face, and then continued: "I really don't understand, what is it?
Who is so talented that he can take this thing back?"
Liu Yuan was slightly startled. Of course he had smelled it before, but he thought it was just the smell of urine. He thought the pattern on it was quite beautiful and the material was unique, so he took it back.
"Let me tell you this, if it is really a chamber pot, according to its age, no matter what conditions it is stored in for nearly a hundred years, it will not have the slightest taste!"
"On the contrary, only the flavor of the pickled vegetables can penetrate. It's the same principle as entering the wood." Zhou Zichen said slowly while looking at everyone.
"You mean it? What if someone used it later?" Although Liu Yuan said this, he was actually shaken by Zhou Zichen's suspicion in his heart, because Zhou Zichen mentioned in his words "recently"
These three words "hundred years"!
"Ignorance!" Zhou Zichen stared at Liu Yuan with a look of hatred on his face and said, "You must have brought this thing back, right? Haven't you checked carefully to see if there is anything in it?"
Zhou Zichen said as he stuffed his hand in, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts. How could they know whether this thing was a chamber pot? If it was true, then Zhou Zichen would be too disgusting, right?
"Have you seen this section of pickled vegetables? Let me tell you what this is. This thing is called pickled radish strips!" Zhou Zichen took out a long, dark, dried strip-shaped object from it and pointed it at it.
everyone said.
"Don't tell me that there were urinary stone patients at that time. Besides, this thing should be something left by a certain father-in-law, right? Commoners can't own it, but who among the rich would use something like this to pickle pickles?
?Only that kind of frustrated father-in-law, this thing is useless and can only be used to pickle pickles!"
Zhou Zichen was very sure of his guess, and he was basically close to the same. Otherwise, who in that era would be so boring and use this kind of stuff to pickle pickles?
Liu Yuan's face looked a little unhappy, because what Zhou Zichen said was true. The thing was really said to be passed down by a certain father-in-law, but after all it was just a rumor. He paid two hundred yuan to accept it, but he didn't expect it to be returned.
It really has a history of nearly a hundred years, especially the workmanship of this thing is very exquisite.
"Young man, am I right?" Zhou Zichen looked at Liu Yuan and said. Of course he knew Liu Yuan's name. Jiang Gan introduced him to him at the beginning, but he just didn't want to say it. It would make Liu Yuan unworthy.
Make yourself known by name.
Liu Yuan's face was gloomy, but in the end he could only admit that Zhou Zichen was right: "You are lucky, there are still so many things, hurry up, don't waste everyone's time!"
Liu Yuan didn't expect that it only took Zhou Zichen a little time to see the age of this thing and guess its background. Zhou Zichen just took a glance at it, right?
"Why are you so anxious? Let me take a look..." Zhou Zichen rolled his eyes and picked out another antique.
"Fake. Although this kind of wood is similar to mahogany, its annual rings are much smaller." Zhou Zichen glanced at the wooden fan in his hand and said.
