Chapter 440

Chu Chen took out the two pieces of bronze mirrors he had just seen, and chose two pieces that looked good. Then he asked the stall owner, "boss, what are these bronze mirrors for sale?"

When the stall owner saw that the business was coming, he cheered up and said with a smile: "Yo, little brother, your vision is fierce, these days..."

Before the stall owner had finished speaking, Chu Chen interrupted with a wave: "boss, don't make a mistake. You know what these bronze mirrors are. If you're cheaper, I'll take them all."

When the stall owner saw that Chu Chen said so, he began to ponder. After a moment, he said, "little brother, since it's predestined to meet each other, I won't say much. If you want all these four bronze mirrors, just give me three thousand!"

"Three thousand? I said, boss, how can you get a bronze mirror at your price? Like a bronze mirror like this, I'll give you as much as you want for one hundred yuan! "

Since the founding of the people's Republic of China, the collection of bronze mirrors has been affected by the legal restrictions on bronze trading. In recent years, the price of bronze mirrors has also continued to be low. For example, the Ming Dynasty calendar mirror in Chu Chen's hand is engraved with the words "Jiawu Qiuzhi" on the surface. The appearance is also good, but the current market price is less than 100 yuan.

However, three or four years later, with an auction, the bronze mirror finally had an orthodox identity, so the price of the bronze mirror began to soar, and the value of the calendar mirror in Chu Chen's hand suddenly rose to four or five hundred yuan.

However, neither Chu Chen nor the stall owner had the ability to foretell. Seeing that Chu Chen said so, the stall owner immediately knew that when he met people in the trade, it seemed that he could not deceive each other, so he simply said, "the bronze mirrors on all sides sell for 1000 yuan. You can see that this bronze mirror is so big, but it's quite rare."

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "it's too expensive. Although this bronze mirror is big, it's all painted with red paint. Who knows what it will look like if the red paint is removed? In case of any defects? Boss, if you sincerely sell it, I'll take 500 yuan! "

The stall owner waved his hand and said, "little brother, 500 is too little. Do you want me to earn some hard money? If you want it sincerely, you can't have less than 600 yuan! "

"Well, please wrap it up for me..."

Chu Chen pretended to ponder for a while, then nodded, counted 600 yuan from his bag and handed it to him

As soon as Chu Chen left, two men came over eagerly. One of them glanced at the stall and asked the stall owner eagerly: "boss, at noon, I remember there was a big bronze mirror with red paint on the surface, right? Why not now? "

The stall owner was in the joy of trading just now. When he heard this, he was stunned and said, "that bronze mirror has been bought by a young man just now. What's the problem?"

"Where is that young man going?" The man asked anxiously.

The stall owner pointed to the direction of chuchen's leaving. He heard the man drop a "thank you" and chased there with his companion.

Seeing this, the stall owner didn't understand that he was missing his eyes. He regretted that. He knew that long ago, let alone 3000 yuan. Even if he opened 6000 yuan, the young man would have to buy it!

"I said, Lao Zhao, you are so popular that you don't even know what your parents look like. How can you find someone?"

"This Ah! The one in front with the big bag should be it! Little brother! Wait... "

Chuchen was walking back happily when he heard someone behind him calling him. Looking back, he found that Zhao Xueyi was calling him, and Uncle Wu was next to him.

Chu Chen quickly welcomed him. After greeting him, he asked strangely, "what's the matter with you two sweating?"

Zhao Xueyi took a breath, then said with a speechless face: "well, the things are in your hands, it seems that I have no hope!"

To Zhao Xueyi's words, Chu Chen is a little puzzled, he one face doubts of ask a way: "what thing arrived in my hand?"

Uncle Wu asked with a smile, "did you just buy a big bronze mirror with red paint?"

Chuchen understood what was going on, but he still asked strangely, "Uncle Zhao, since you have a crush on this bronze mirror, why don't you buy it earlier?"

Zhao Xueyi clapped his hands and said, "Hi! Let's find a place to sit down. We won't be able to make it clear for a while

"OK..."

Later, Chu Chen took them to the newly decorated VIP room of his shop. Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu were also there. After a chat, Lao Wu quickly made a cup of tea for them. Then Chu Chen took out the bronze mirror with red paint.

"Ah

Zhao Xueyi carefully picked up the mirror, looked at it carefully, and sighed: "it's also your luck. At noon, when I went to dinner with your Uncle Wu, I saw the mirror when I passed the stall just now. I didn't take it seriously at that time, but later I realized that the mirror was very familiar. I just remembered that it should be the one I used to be The heirloom of the elders. "

At this point, Zhao Xueyi told Chu Chen the story of this bronze mirror.This bronze mirror is actually a bronze mirror with the pattern of gold silver and Cobra dragon in the Warring States period. It is a small button and a round button seat. There are nine Cobra dragons winding between the button seat and the edge. The dragon body has the pattern of "gold silver and Cobra". The craft is very exquisite. It can be said that it is a wonderful thing.

Zhao Xueyi's elder also took a lot of pains to get this bronze mirror, and because this bronze mirror also fought with the island invaders in those years, that experience can be written into a soul stirring novel.

"I saw this bronze mirror several times when I was a child. Later, in those years, my elder painted it red because he was afraid that the mirror would be damaged. Moreover, because there was something wrong with the composition of his family, the whole family was sent to a farm in the West. I don't know what happened. This bronze mirror actually fell into the hands of the peddler just now."

At this point, Zhao Xueyi's look is a little gloomy. You don't have to think about it. Now that this bronze mirror has been exiled, his elder must have died.

"No, I have to ask!" As soon as the voice fell, Zhao Xueyi went out in a hurry.

We can all feel Zhao Xueyi's feelings, and we all sigh at this.

After a while, Chu Chen asked, "Uncle Wu, do you have any medicine to remove the red paint?"

"Don't bother Uncle Wu. I know where there is this kind of medicine. I'll go and get a bottle now." Old five said first.

"OK..."

After the fifth left, Chu Chen asked, "Uncle Wu, when did you come back, and I don't want to call you, so I can pick you up!"

Recently, Wu Shudu has been away from home and busy contacting antique imitators for the shop. After all, the number of antiques is limited. If you only do antique business, you will end up with one day.

However, the antique ceramics that Uncle Wu contacted are all fine selected ceramics, which can be confused with the real ones, and they are all limited in production.

Of course, Chu Chen can't sell these antique porcelains as genuine products. Every piece of these antique porcelains has the name of his shop. He bought and sold them openly. When he was a peddler, he could be honest with the old and the young. There's no reason to open an antique shop now, but it's changed.

Originally, Chu Chen was going to deal with this kind of thing by himself, but Uncle Wu advised him to deal with the things in the capital first. It happened that he was really busy some time ago, so Uncle Wu and Zhao Xueyi went to the porcelain capital together.

"I came back to Beijing this morning. It doesn't matter whether I take it or not." Uncle Wu said with a smile: "I've already talked about it in the porcelain capital. Let's go there early next month and check the samples. If you feel satisfied, you can sign the contract."

Chu Chen said gratefully: "it's really hard for you, Uncle Wu!"

"What's the matter? I'm an old man. I need to use some heat." Wu Shufeng waved his hand lightly.

Next, after chatting for a while, Chu Chen was embarrassed and said, "this Uncle Wu, I have something to report to you. "

"What's the matter?" Seeing Chu Chen's appearance, Uncle Wu felt a little strange.

"It's like this..." Chu Chen scratched his head and said weakly, "coco and I have decided to get married when she returns home after graduation."

"Poof! Cough... "

Chu Chen's words, let Uncle Wu just drink a mouthful of tea to spray out, followed by a cough, scared Chu Chen hurried forward for a while slap, after a long time, Uncle Wu breathed a breath, some can't believe asked:

"Xiao Chen, what did you just say? Are you going to get married as soon as you graduate? "

After seeing Chu Chen nodding his head to confirm, Wu PI was still a little silly. After a while, he asked, "how come coco didn't mention it to us?"

Chuchen scratched his head and said with a smile, "coco will have a long holiday next month. We thought we would wait for her to come back. But I heard that sister Shu said that there are many things to prepare for marriage, so I told my parents about it. They said that they would prepare for a long time. Please have a meal together and discuss it."

"Good!" Uncle Wu pointed to chuchen's nose and said with a smile, "you stinky boy, are you not ready to tell us when your parents don't speak?"

"No way!" Chu Chen waved his hand again and again and said, "it's not convenient for you to say that you have been out of town all this time."

"Then you won't tell Aunt Wu first?" Uncle Wu blew his beard and glared.

"I just want to say it when you come back." Chuchen sneered. In fact, the reason why he didn't talk to Aunt Wu first was that he was afraid of aunt Wu's nagging. Moreover, if he asked about the progress between Wu Ke and him, he would be a little shy.

After all, he has known each other for several years. Wu Shunan still doesn't understand what Chu Chen is afraid of. He jokingly says, "come back with me later, and then you can tell Aunt Wu in person."

"Ah!..."
