Shengshibaojian

The next day, Shen Qiu specially changed into clean clothes, and came to Xie Jingwen's Xuanbaozhai fifteen minutes earlier.

"Shen Qiu, you're here!"

Xie Jingwen is wearing an antique brown cheongsam today. The hand-embroidered cheongsam is perfectly wrapped in an exquisite curve, which brings out Xie Jingwen's ladylike beauty and classical intellectual beauty.

"Come in, Shen Qiu, and I'll introduce you to Master Cao and Master Kang in the shop!"

Shen Qiu followed into the store, and when he walked in, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.

There are three people in Xuanbaozhai including Xie Jingwen, the boss Xie Jingwen, master Cao Donglai and apprentice Kang Kai.

Cao Donglai is about 40 years old, wearing a Tang suit, holding a pair of walnuts with green skins in his hands, his cheeks are sharp and unsmiling, and his arrogant and cold aura greets him.

Apprentice Kang Kai had curly hair and a childish face. He also graduated from the Department of Archeology of Yenching University and came to Xuanbaozhai to be Cao Donglai's apprentice. When he saw Shen Qiu, he had a disgusted look on his face.

Shen Qiu obviously felt the unfriendliness of the master and apprentice, especially Cao Donglai, although he didn't say a word, there was a strong sour smell in the air.

"Boss! This is the master you invited to be equal to my master?"

"Let me introduce first..." Xie Jingwen still smiled.

Kang Kai said in a sharp voice: "No need to introduce, Boss Xie, we all know this man, isn't he just Shen Qiu, the prodigal son of the Shen family? You actually asked him to be our store's treasure appraiser? You are still on an equal footing with my master ? Boss, are you sure you're not joking?"

Xie Jingwen shook her head and explained: "First of all, Master Cao is the number one master of our Xuanbaozhai, Shen Qiu is an ordinary treasure appraiser, Kang Kai, you have to work hard, and strive to become a qualified treasure appraiser as soon as possible!"

"Boss! You are..." Kang Kai protested with a sharp voice: "You don't know Shen Qiu's glorious history, right? He has been playing antiques for more than three years and has never made any money. There are thousands of treasures with eyes. Wan, you lost all of the Shen family's 3000 million property, and bought a columbarium with 800 million? Are you looking for this kind of person to come back as a treasure appraiser? Aren't you afraid that others will laugh at me!"

"Ahem..." Cao Donglai, who had been silent all this time, coughed twice, and barely looked at Shen Qiu: "Miss, our Xuanbaozhai is a century-old store in Jiangcheng, but you are digging yourself Tomb, aren't you afraid of smashing the signboard of Xuanbaozhai? I firmly disagree!"

Xie Jingwen smiled lightly, and the reaction of the master and apprentice was within her expectation: "Uncle Cao, I know what you think in your heart, but please believe in my vision, Shen Qiu does have his own unique vision, yesterday's tourmaline hairpin And Qianlong’s seal was bought from him! He snatched two leaks from under my nose again and again, and with this insight, I’m going to decide on this person!”

Cao Donglai couldn't help wrinkling his thin cheeks, he raised his head and glanced at Shen Qiu: "Did he pick up those two things?"

"Boss! It's in broad daylight! You can't fool people like this!" Kang Kai shook his head repeatedly at Shen Qiu: "I might still believe you if you say others, but I don't believe you if you say that this Young Master Shen was killed. If I pick up the leak, I can pick up the big Qianlong pot! The big bronze cauldron!"

Cao Donglai got up and stood up from the chair: "Miss, why don't you do this? Since you like Shen Qiu's ability, then I'll come to test this master. You let him compete with Kang Kai. If he can beat Kang Kai, I will give him a try." Recognize him as a master and let him stay and work, but if he loses, let this master find another place, and let Kang Kai become a regular."

"This..." Xie Jingwen was in a difficult situation, and making things difficult was tantamount to making things difficult for Shen Qiu.

"No problem! I accept Master Cao's challenge!" Shen Qiu nodded calmly. Originally, he didn't care about staying in Xuanbaozhai, but now Xuanbaozhai has something to do with Wang Qianshi, so he has to stay no matter what.

"Shen Qiu? You may think too highly of yourself! Do you really think that you just happened to pick up leaks and become a treasure master? Don't forget that I graduated from the Archeology Department of Yenching University! Treasure information!"

"I'm sorry!" Shen Qiu interrupted Kang Kai and said, "Yesterday, someone from Yanjing's Department of Archeology ate shit..."

……

The competition between Shen Qiu and Kang Kai officially started. Xie Jingwen gave 5000 yuan to the two of them respectively, and set a time limit of one hour.

The two people used the 5000 yuan to go around the antique street, and bought three treasures respectively, and then judged the winner of the competition based on the total value of the three treasures. Whoever got the treasure with the highest value was the winner of the competition. .

Such a seemingly ordinary competition tests not only eyesight, but also calculation ability.

The treasures exchanged can’t be too cheap or too expensive. The unit price of too cheap things is not high and there is no comparison. Too expensive boutiques can’t be bought for three to five thousand. If you want to win the final victory, you have to rely on your unique ability to pick up leaks .

Antique Street is divided into north and south streets, Shen Qiu chose the North Street, and Kang Kai chose the South Street.

There is a difference between North Street and South Street. South Street belongs to the category of paying a fee to set up a stall, so the things presented are relatively much better.

On the other hand, North Street is an open and free stall. People from all walks of life come here to set up stalls. They sell all kinds of antiques, from the emperor's imperial edict to the McDull diapers of three-year-old children. A trace is found.

"Miss! Shen Qiu chose to go to North Street?"

Looking at the backs of the two people going away, Cao Donglai showed a disdainful smile on his face: "Miss, everyone knows that to find treasures on South Street, what is there in North Street? If you want to find treasures on North Street, then It’s like finding a needle in a haystack!”

"Miss, you really misjudged this time. This person may be lucky enough to pick up two leaks. I don't think he will be better than Kang Kai! The student of Yanjing Archeology Department is not Bai. Taught it!"

Xie Jingwen smiled subtly: "Uncle Cao, I'm the exact opposite of you. I may not be as good at seeing babies as you are, but I've never been good at seeing people! I think this Shen Qiu has something to do!"

"Then good lady, let's wait and see!"

……

Shen Qiu is naturally full of confidence in this competition, let alone an apprentice Kang Kai, even Cao Donglai himself is not his opponent. According to his seniority, he is their master. The apprentice who spoke was slapped to death directly.

I don't know who leaked the news, just as Shen Qiu entered the North Street, the hawkers on both sides heard the news that Shen Qiu was going to Xuanbaozhai to be a master of appraising treasures, and it was like a heavy bomb exploded in the crowd Opened a nest.

"My dear! Shen Qiu can also be Xuan Baozhai's master? This world is too crazy!"

"Did this Young Master Shen give Boss Xie some ecstasy soup? Did he ask him to be a master? If he became Xuan Baozhai's master, within a week Xuan Baozhai would definitely lose all his underpants." !"

The peddlers here are discussing in a hurry, Shen Qiu is no longer as good as North Street, and the peddlers on both sides have a hippie smile and say everything: "Master Shen, you will become a master of appraising treasures in the future, you have to cover your brothers!"

"Master Shen, take a look at my booth. I have Emperor Kangxi's Zhenguo Yuxi here! Buy it back and let you sit firmly at the top of Xuanbaozhai."

"Don't trust him, Young Master Shen, come to me! I have Qin Shihuang's Celestial Sword, which is extremely sharp and cuts iron like mud. It is a priceless treasure!"

There was a faint smile on Shen Qiu's face. Hearing the jeers and jokes from the peddlers again, he didn't take it to heart a long time ago. Those who achieve great things must have the mind of a king, and gossip is like passing clouds and smoke.

After wandering around for more than half a circle, Shen Qiu frowned slightly. Although he can determine the world at a glance, there are really few things in the North Street that can catch his eye.

Among them, he bought an amber snuff bottle, an old object from the Yongzheng period. The expensive amber inside is bright in color. On the surface, it is an elegant ink painting of a boy herding cattle.

The price is not cheap either, it cost [-] yuan in total, the estimated price should not be too high, it can barely be regarded as a miss.
