Taking Duan Kun and Zhenzhen to play in the capital for several days, Liu Sizhe and Wang Xiaoyue, who have not been seen for a long time, also appear. They are very close to each other and show their love, which makes Chu Chen laugh and scold him for forgetting his friends.
In addition to Liu Sizhe and Wang Xiaoyue, other friends also joined the team. However, after Dong pangzi and Duan Kun met, they began to sneer, showing the appearance of a dead enemy.
The first night when they had dinner, they put together the wine. In the end, they both vomited and got drunk at the same time.
However, what surprised Chu Chen was that when he saw the two the next day, they were reconciled. Seeing that they were talking to each other from time to time, and their faces were showing the appearance of * * from time to time, Chu Chen had nothing to say except that he could not understand them.
In this way, the days of playing in the past, in the twinkling of an eye, on the 15th of the first month.
Early that morning, Chu Chen first sent Chu Yulan home for the festival to school, then went to pick up Uncle Wu and went back to the antique shop.
The day before yesterday, Chu Chen negotiated with the shop owner next door and completed the transaction. At that time, he called boss Huang of the decoration company. So, when Chu Chen and Uncle Wu came to the antique shop, they saw that boss Huang and his staff of the decoration company were already waiting in the shop.
After they said hello, Chu Chen took boss Huang and his hand down to the shop next door.
This shop, just like what I said before, is not big. Chu Chen said yesterday that he had asked boss Huang to come here today to survey the site and work out the drawings.
Boss Huang looked up and down the stairs and said with a smile: "Chu Shao, I have a look. Basically, the paper can be unearthed tomorrow. If you are satisfied, we can start construction on that day."
Chuchen said with a smile: "boss Huang, we are old friends. I'm still at ease with you. As before, my requirements are not high, as long as the quality is OK! "
"Chu Shao, don't worry, I promise to finish the project with quality and quantity as soon as possible!" Boss Huang clapped his chest and promised.
"Well, when it's finished, I'd like to ask you to help me decorate my courtyard." Chuchen said with a smile.
Boss Huang was stunned, and then asked, "how big is a quadrangle?"
"The total area is about five thousand five hundred square meters." Chu Chen returned.
"Hiss!"
Although he knew that chuchen's courtyard must be a big one, boss Huang didn't expect that it would be so big. He took a breath directly, and his staff were even more shocked and almost dropped everything on the ground.
Chu Chen just laughed at their reaction to boss Huang. He said, "but that courtyard is too old. It's estimated that all of them need to be demolished and rebuilt."
When boss Huang heard that Chu Chen was going to demolish and rebuild, he was very happy. Although he didn't dare to earn more money from Chu Chen, he knew that Chu Chen was more generous and would not treat him badly at that time. Besides, this is an opportunity to get close to Chu Chen. He can't let it go. He must finish it well.
However, boss Huang still knew how much he was worth. After a while, he said with a bitter face: "Chu Shao, although my company's qualification is good, it's OK to take over your Siheyuan project, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "don't worry, I've got rid of Professor Shi in terms of drawings, but he's busy these days. It's estimated that the drawings will take some time to be available."
Boss Huang patted his forehead and said with a smile, "Hey! I almost forgot him! With him, I can rest assured... "
After making it clear with boss Huang, the other party rushed back to make the drawings. Chu Chen closed the door of the shop and walked to the next door.
As soon as he got to the door, Chu Chen saw an old man who looked like an old intellectual in his sixties. With a big box in his hand, he went straight to the cashier and asked the cashier, "this girl, I don't know if your boss Chu is here?"
The cashier was slightly stunned, then motioned to the old man: "our boss is behind you!"
The old man was also stunned. Looking back, he felt embarrassed when he saw Chu Chen with a smile on his face. Then he went to Chu Chen and said with a smile, "Hello, boss Chu. My name is yuan Hongjian. Lao Zhu introduced me to you."
Chu Chen immediately responded and said with a smile, "Oh, are you Professor Zhu's friend who just played collecting?"
Yuan Hongjian said, "yes, it's me! He told me yesterday that it was you who said that I might have been cheated, so today I'll come and ask for advice. "
At this point, he may feel that his speech is easy to cause misunderstanding, and quickly said: "boss Chu, I usually speak so straight, I hope you don't blame me!"
At the beginning, Chu Chen really felt that he had come to ask for punishment. Now he said so and said with a smile, "no, no, let's go upstairs and talk about it."
"OK..."
Yuan Hongjian nodded. After a few steps, he saw a guest holding a blue and white plate in his hand. The blue and white plate looked very beautiful, which immediately aroused his interest. He pointed to the plate in the guest's hand and asked:"Boss Chu, can I have a look at that plate?"
Yuan Hongjian's voice was a little loud, and the guest heard it. He immediately frowned and looked back at Yuan Hongjian.
Chuchen gave a bitter smile to himself and quickly explained to the guest, "I'm so sorry, sir. He just joined the trade and didn't understand some rules."
After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, the guest nodded. After all, everyone came from a new person. Besides, the other person was an old man, so why bother.
Seeing their reaction, Yuan Hongjian immediately knew that he had done something wrong. He was embarrassed and laughed. Then he asked in a low voice, "boss Chu, can't I ask that just now?"
"Yes, there's a rule in our business, it's called 'don't look, don't ask what you're holding.'"
As he walked along, Chu Chen explained, "what I'm talking about here is not in the hands of antique dealers, but in the hands of buyers. Don't look at or ask about what they already have in their hands..."
Many new people don't understand this rule. For example, when they go to a stall and see that someone else is holding something there, they just go over and look at it. When they see someone they like, they go up and take something from someone else's hand and say, "man, let me have a look at this.".
At this time, if people are polite, they will say to you, please wait until I finish reading it. If you are not polite, you can directly scold you for not understanding the rules.
In addition, Chu Chen also said a rule to Yuan Hongjian. If someone else has finished watching, it's better to wait for the seller to take the things back, and then you should look at them from the seller's hands. It's better not to take them directly from the buyer's hands. This is mainly because some buyers may have dirty hands and feet and are easy to steal things. If he takes the things and gives the rest to you, you can return them after watching If the seller finds something missing, you can't make it clear.
Chu Chen said: "besides, there are many people who bury mines in our industry. If you don't pay attention, others will give you such a trick. When the time comes, you can't make a clear explanation."
"There is such a saying After hearing this, Yuan Hongjian said in surprise.
Chuchen nodded with a smile, then invited yuan Hongjian into the VIP room. At this time, Uncle Wu was reading a book inside. Chuchen introduced both sides.
Chu Chen poured yuan Hongjian a cup of tea and then said, "actually, there are many rules in our antique business. I happen to have a book here. You can always take it back to have a look!"
"What a shame
Chuchen said with a smile, "what's the matter here, but it's a book. Just come back after you've read it!"
"Thank you, boss Chu!" Yuan Hongjian expressed his thanks.
At this time, Uncle Wu pointed to what yuan Hongjian had brought and asked, "what did you bring, elder?"
"A ring jar in the reign of Emperor Kangxi! What do you think of it? " Yuan Hongjian took the things out of the box, which was a small jar.
The so-called ring jar is a popular name for this kind of modeling porcelain of Jidong generation. It is said that it is a prop used by small traders to attract guests. The specific use method is to inject half a jar of water into the jar, not too full, and rub the two sides of the jar with both hands, which will produce a kind of buzzing sound. The water in the jar is also splashing, which is really good-looking.
In addition, there is another way of saying that the ring jar is actually a toy. In the past, ladies from rich families couldn't go out, and it's not like now that there are computers to play with and TV to watch. When they are lonely, they rub the ring jar with their jade hands and listen to the sound to relieve their loneliness.
As for what happened, Chu Chen didn't know much about it. However, he knew that this kind of porcelain was a relatively small collection, and many vendors would cheat people with it. Many people fell into a trap when they were curious. As for whether yuan Hongjian had been cheated, they had to see something before they knew. However, Chu Chen thought it was more likely.
Yuan Hongjian's jar is only 15 cm high. It looks very small and cute. It has a flat mouth, a curved wall and a flat bottom. All painted blue and white patterns, only to see the sky hammer drum sound thunder, cymbal lightning. When people in the hall hear the thunder, the sky and the earth vibrate. There are thousands of golden lights in the flash.
After Chu Chen and Uncle Wu had seen it, they knew what it was. It didn't surprise them.
"Elder, do you know what a ring jar is?" Chu Chen asked.
Yuan Hongjian said with a smile: "it's a jar that can ring. A friend of mine who is also an antique once said that it was a Book jar that was provided by the desk. At that time, I thought it was a kind of jar that could make sound by beating it with sticks or other metal objects. I didn't think it was surprising and didn't care too much. Some time ago, I happened to see this kind of thing on a stall …”
