In the next few days, Qiao Qingtai had planned to take chuchen to the major scenic spots in Jiangcheng, but after a day of browsing around, Qiao Qingtai got a message and suspended his next trip.
On the road, Qiao Qingtai said with a smile, "Xiao Chu, you're not a good person. Chen Liujin doesn't introduce you very much. Maybe we can get some unexpected results today."
Chuchen nodded with a smile and then asked curiously, "Mr. Qiao, why is this man called Chen Liujin?"
Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "it's not this guy who can eat. It's normal to eat three kilos of rice at ordinary times. At most, he eats six kilos of rice at one time, so everyone gives him this nickname."
"Six Jin?" Hearing this, chuchen and the three of them all couldn't believe it. It was six Jin of rice. For some people with a small amount of food, they might be full just by looking at it.
Chu Chen asked, "can't he have any disease?"
Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "I went to the hospital. The doctor said that he had a high appetite, but after a period of treatment, he didn't have much effect. In addition, he didn't have any discomfort, so he died."
Chuchen said with a smile: "then he just spent a lot of money on eating."
"That's right. The money this guy makes is mostly spent on food."
Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "but just because of this, his commission is a little higher than others, and he has to take care of his meal. However, what he introduces are all good things, which is quite worthwhile."
Chuchen laughs: "as long as he doesn't have a black heart..."
After more than an hour's drive, the car came to a village and stopped.
At this time, a man in his thirties came to the car and said hello to Qiao Qingtai with a smile on his face.
Qiao Qingtai smile for both sides to do the next introduction, in front of this man is Chen Liujin, this let Chu Chen is speechless.
The reason is simple. Originally, Chu Chen heard that Chen Liujin could eat so much at a meal. He should be at least a little stronger, not to mention fat. But as a result, Chen Liujin was a thin man. He was as thin as a bamboo pole, as if he would be blown away in a gust of wind. It's hard to believe that there is nothing wrong with him.
Of course, there are all kinds of strange things in the world. Maybe they have a special constitution. Chu Chen was just a little surprised and recovered his peace.
After a few words of greeting, Qiao Qingtai said, "Xiao Chen, come up and show us the way. Let's go now."
Chen Liujin said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Qiao, we can only walk there."
"Why?" Qiao Qingtai felt strange.
"Do you think the road looks like a car can walk?" Chen Liujin pointed to the road ahead.
It turned out that this was an ancient village, and the village road was also a stone road. Unfortunately, it was almost destroyed later, and the villagers robbed it home to build houses. This kind of thing is not rare in all parts of the country. If you take something from the public, it's useless even if the village head says it. It's not enough.
It's just that it's hard for them. There's no way. It rained heavily last night. In addition, it's relatively poor here. There's no money to build concrete roads, which makes the village roads muddy. There's no way for cars to drive in. We can only choose to walk.
Hu Yong opened his mouth and said, "I can't afford to build a road here. Can there be anything good?"
Chen Liujin said with a smile: "you can't say that. There have been officials here before. Otherwise, how can you pave a stone road? It's just that in the late Qing Dynasty, there were bandits here, and since then, they have never recovered. "
After hearing this, Hu Yong said, "it's not right. How can there be good things left after the banditry?"
Chen Liujin said with a smile: "of course, few gold and silver can stay, but who wants bottles of porcelain? Don't worry, my business principle is that the old and the young don't cheat me. Besides, I came here to investigate in advance and asked Mr. Qiao to come here. Besides, with Mr. Qiao, I can't cheat you sincerely! "
Qiao Qingtai waved his hand with a smile: "OK, OK, take us there quickly. It's true or false. You'll know if you've seen it."
"That's reasonable. Here, I'll change it for you."
With that, Chen Liujin took out a few pairs of rain shoes from the plastic bag in his hand and handed them to everyone.
They put on their rain shoes and left the driver here to watch the car. Then they followed Chen Liujin to the door of a villager's house.
Along the way, Chen Liujin introduced the family to you.
The owner's name is Lian Youshui. A long time ago, his family was not only a landlord, but also a big family. Later, they didn't know how to do it. They didn't reproduce well. In the generation of Lian Youshui's father, there was only one child left. This means that all the property left by the family members of their ancestors fell on the company's sailors.
Even the water family was different. Until the Republic of China, nahui was still the richest man in the village. The ancestors not only had land in the village, but also did business and teach in the city. They earned money instead of copper.
During this period, although the village suffered from banditry, his family suffered the most heavy losses. But at that time, because of the wrong detection, he transferred part of his property ahead of time. In addition, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse. It is not hard to imagine that there were many treasures such as antiques left behind.Moreover, in the past, even Youshui family was very good to the villagers. They were always good people, so that their family did not suffer any crime in the last century. Although most of their gold and silver were handed in, some things like porcelain were left behind.
Of course, if you think so, only the family with water can know how much, and outsiders can only make a guess.
After a while, Chen came to the countryside and knocked on the door.
Uncle looked at everyone and nodded to Chen Liujin: "Liujin is coming, come in."
After that, he took everyone to the hall, but because of some problems in his legs, he didn't walk fast. It took him three or five minutes to get there.
Please take a seat, although Chu Chen and others said you're welcome, but my uncle is still a bit stubborn to pour Huai tea for everyone.
Next, Chen Liujin made an introduction to both sides. No accident, it was Chen Liujin who said that there was even water.
"Sit down for a while, and I'll get the things out."
Seeing that Lian Youshui hobbled out, Chu Chen asked, "how can he live alone here? It's inconvenient for an old man to walk around. Is that ok?"
"The old man is stubborn."
Chen Liujin said: "all his children have bought houses in the city now. Lao Pang got sick and left the year before last, so his son asked him to live in the city, but he was not happy and said he wanted to look at the old house. Some time ago, he broke his leg and didn't call his children, saying it was too much trouble. However, because of this, he thought of selling things to raise money for leg treatment. "
It is said that this is the case. We really don't know what to say. However, Chu Chen felt that if he had changed his mind, he would not be relieved that the old man lived here alone and would have to ask a nanny to take care of him. But then again, even if he has such a character as water, maybe his children will have to give him a nanny.
After a while, even some water came back with a bag. He put the bag on the table and said, "just these two things. Have a look."
We were not polite, so we took the things out of the bag.
First of all, Qiao Qingtai took out a statue of arhat. This is a kneeling arhat sitting face to face with bare chest and abdomen. It is a bony arhat.
This statue of arhat is made by the method of color lacquer, which is also called Jiashu and Jiafu. As a method of painting statues, it is first molded with clay and then pasted with hemp cloth on the surface of clay; after the paint is dry, it is painted repeatedly; it is polished and decorated through dozens of processes. Finally, the clay is emptied, so it is also called "void image".
The lacquerware made by this process is light in body, thin in wall, exquisite and round in shape.
Jiadan lacquerware is mostly used in the production of Buddha statues. It is not afraid of water immersion, but also resistant to high temperature, acid and alkali corrosion. It is also called bodiless lacquerware. Its exquisite and vivid production process, thin as paper, light as a feather material, makes people marvel, suspected to be a miracle. And because of its light texture, it is also called "Xingxiang".
This statue of arhat should have been made in the early Qing Dynasty according to its craftsmanship and coating characteristics. However, due to the fact that it was not well made and not well preserved, it is worth ten thousand yuan in the market.
Another thing is a blue and white cup, which is very regular in shape. At the bottom of the cup, there is a blue and white double circle regular script "Qing Kangxi year system". The round feet of the cup show the incomparable white texture of Kangxi porcelain, which complements the jade like enamel.
The cup body is painted with Eight Trigram patterns, which reflect each other with the Yin and Yang pictures of the inner bottom. The outer wall is near the foot with sea waves, and the line drawing is like gossamer. It can be seen that the painter's skill is extraordinary. The blue and white hair color is bright and gorgeous, which is a typical turquoise blue in Kangxi period.
The diagram of Yin Yang and eight trigrams represents the core essence of Chinese traditional philosophy. Therefore, although the decoration of the cup is simple, the expression is very profound. It is an exquisite work of the blue and white cup in the Kangxi period.
Judging from the workmanship and appearance of the cup, its market value is more expensive. However, it is worth about 50000 at most, not to mention Qiao Qingtai's unexpected harvest.
Next, we talked about the price. Even the water price was not high. The total price of the two items was only 20000 yuan. Neither Chu Chen nor Qiao Qingtai were unscrupulous merchants. Three times the profit was good for them, so they only paid the price symbolically, and the two sides closed the deal.
At this time, Chen Liujin said with a smile: "Uncle Lian, I heard that you still have some treasures at home. Can you bring them out for us to enjoy?"
Unexpectedly, he even waved his hand and said, "no, except for these two things, the others have already sold out. In the past, I had to buy a house for my children. All those things have been sold out for me, so I can raise money for the house."
After hearing that there was no water to sell, Qiao Qingtai glanced at Chen Liujin. Chen Liujin knew what Qiao Qingtai meant and asked if he had cheated him on the phone.
Chen Liujin gives Qiao Qingtai an innocent look, which means that, of course, he doesn't cheat Qiao Qingtai, and there's no need to cheat him. Apart from other things, he has a commission to get after the transaction. No matter how hard he is, he won't be able to get along with the money.So, Chen Liujin gave Lian Youshui a good cigarette with a smile, lit his cigarette and said, "Uncle Lian, my elder has come here specially to buy goods. He is the one in our Jiangcheng antique shop! The price is also very good. Otherwise, you can show him one or two pieces of goods. If the goods are good, the price will not hurt you. "
Even some water hesitated and said, "six Jin, I really don't have any antiques in my family. If I want to have some, how much money can I sell for my feet? You see, I've been hurt like this, and I'm afraid I won't have enough money. "
"Well, you're thinking about it!"
He told everyone if he had more than six catties of water.
After walking out of the gate for a while, Qiao Qingtai asked, "Xiao Chen, he really doesn't have anything there?"
Chen Liujin smiles and shakes his head: "that's definitely impossible. He is afraid that the price is low and the villagers are jealous. Rumors about his family's many antiques have been spread all over the village for a long time, so that when someone quarreled with his wife a few years ago, they all called her shameless for making a fortune by selling her ancestors' things. "
"And I've inquired about it. Although his family has sold a lot of antiques, I'm sure there are still a lot of them at home, including some treasures at the bottom of the box."
Hu Yong asked curiously after hearing the speech: "in this case, how can we come out?"
Chuchen laughs and explains to Hu Yong, "Hu Yong, this is because you have no experience. When we encounter this kind of thing, we all take retreat as advance. Do you understand? People say that there are no antiques, but you have to say that there are. In the end, do you want him to slap his face and take things out? Because of his character, it's obviously impossible, so we have to give people time to think about it. "
Hu Yong said, "when are we coming? Tomorrow? "
Chen Liujin said with a smile: "of course, it's impossible. Anyone with a clear eye can see that he has treasures in his family, and there are more than one or two. This is a big fish. How can he let it go? What's more, one of the most important things that we can buy good goods in this industry is that we can't be quick or slow to catch big fish. Otherwise, if other cats smell the fishy smell, accidents will easily happen. Surely this is not what we want to see? "
Let's have a laugh.
"When shall we be back?"
"Ha ha, let's go to cushion our stomachs first. We can't work until we are full." Chen Liujin patted his stomach.
Qiao Qingtai looked at the time, some speechless way: "I said Xiao Chen, it's less than ten o'clock, what kind of food to eat?"
Chen Liujin smacked his mouth and said, "I can't help it. I had ten steamed buns in a hurry in the morning. Now I'm hungry. If I don't eat any more, I can't walk. How can I work?"
After hearing this, we couldn't help looking at each other. After a while, Qiao Qingtai shook his head with a wry smile: "well, I have nothing to say when I meet a bucket like you, so you can eat it."
Chen Liujin said with a smile: "let's eat the farm food here today. It's really delicious. Think about it, the saliva is flowing out. Let's go! I'll take you to have a taste... "
