How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 59 In the antique store, find some gadgets!

The scenery of the virgin forest is excellent.

The two took pictures by the waterfall and had a great time.

When it was close to noon, they came to the restaurant in the ancient town for dinner.

At this time, Zhao Chen took a moment to look at the phone.

It didn't matter, he was a little surprised.

The live broadcast room shows that there are 70 people online in real time, and a total of 420 million people have watched it.

This popularity has already ranked in the top ten of Douyin's live broadcast hourly list.

"There are so many people, the heat is much higher than when I was making porcelain." Zhao Chen said with a smile, obviously the heat was beyond his expectation.

Liu Xi also chuckled, jokingly said: "My Douyin has also gained 10 fans, master, it seems that I am right to gain your popularity."

Liu Xi is very indifferent to the number of fans. She is not the same as Douyin's beauty bloggers. Those people are for the money of straight men in the live broadcast circle. Liu Xi is purely a hobby.

But going out to play with Zhao Chen is really interesting.

The point is that Zhao Chen seems to have arranged everything, just follow along, which makes it more comfortable.

If several friends travel together, there is always such a division of labor.

Some people are making travel plans, looking at maps, looking for hotels, and making timetables.

Someone just quietly follow such a person, just be a happy waste.

Many people like to travel with the former, and many people also like to be happy waste.

After all, making plans and making choices is too troublesome.

"Go and eat farm food. In such an ancient town, the taste of farm food is the best."

"Then we'll go to the antique shop in the afternoon."

"There are a few antique shops here where you can still see antiques, maybe you can find some interesting gadgets."

Zhao Chen said to Liu Xi.

"Well, good." Liu Xi replied obediently.

The ancient town is very big, Zhao Chen got into the car, and took Liu Xi to find a very popular restaurant, where the main food is bamboo rice.

The chef of this restaurant is also a master, and the bamboo rice made by them has a bit of bamboo fragrance, which made the two of them full of praise.

In the afternoon, they continued to stroll in the ancient town.

In the depths of the ancient town, there are several inconspicuous antique shops.

Zhao Chen walked into a "Yaoli Wanjia Antique Store", intending to see what good antiques it had.

Inside the shop, the boss was wearing ordinary white half-sleeve capri pants, carrying a pair of slippers, and was gently fanning the wind with a fluttering fan.

Seeing Zhao Chen and Liu Xi coming in, the boss immediately greeted him and asked:
"What do you want to see, I'm not bragging, I have objects from all dynasties here."

Hearing what the boss said, Zhao Chen half-jokingly said: "Boss, what you said is too big."

This boss is also a genuine character, feeling that he was underestimated by Zhao Chen, he immediately said: "Don't believe me, among the antique shops around me, I have the most complete collection."

"If you don't believe me, tell me, what do you want?"

Seeing the boss's appearance, Zhao Chen said directly: "Boss, are there any ancient relics from the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Hearing that Zhao Chen directly asked for the antiquities from the Southern Song Dynasty, the shop owner was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, he said again: "I really have it, just wait a moment."

With that said, the boss went straight to the back, touched a wooden box and came out.

Zhao Chen also became interested.

Then, the boss came to the counter and opened the wooden box.

I saw that there were many separate small grids, and each grid contained several ancient copper coins.

Liu Xi also looked over curiously.

The boss took out a copper coin and said, "A decent ancient copper coin from the Southern Song Dynasty. This is a rare commodity. I only took it out because you know how to do it."

There are many kinds of cultural relics, some are expensive and some are cheap, depending on the quality.

Among them, coins are the most common kind of cultural relics, and they are also the most widely spread.

Zhao Chen just glanced at it, then said: "Boss, this is a copper coin from the Northern Song Dynasty, not from the Southern Song Dynasty at all."

"The Northern Song Dynasty was prosperous and prosperous at that time, so a lot of copper coins were made. When we unearthed the cultural relics of the Northern Song Dynasty, the copper coins were unearthed one ton by ton, which was worthless at all."

"This copper coin is worth 50 yuan at most."

"If it is a copper coin from the Southern Song Dynasty, it is still worth a little money. If there is a Jianyan Tongbao copper coin, it is worth at least a few thousand yuan."

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, the boss was slightly taken aback, and immediately praised: "Expert, this is indeed from the Northern Song Dynasty, and it's worthless."

Liu Xi laughed from the side, "Boss, he is a graduate of the History Department of Kyoto University, and he has a lot of research on these cultural relics."

The boss nodded. Immediately after he hesitated, he went back to the back again.

There was another guy in the store, watching from the side.

Zhao Chen began to observe from the side.

He has seen a lot of treasures since he was a child, and his appreciation ability is very high, so looking at these antiques has a special flavor.

The drone is shooting at the door, and netizens can visit the antique shop from the perspective of a customer.

Zhao Chen said to everyone:
"When it comes to antiques, everyone thinks they must be expensive, but this perception is wrong."

"The range of antiques is very wide. The most powerful ones are porcelain, famous calligraphy, and bronzes. They are indeed expensive. But there are also many pipes, fish knives, armor fragments, and saddles. They are not worth much at all."

"In antique shops, there are usually not so many high-quality goods. They just buy a lot of small items to see if they can make a little difference."

"However, if you meet a distinguished customer, you can eat for three years if you open it once. There are also cases like this."

Hearing his words, everyone nodded frequently.

It turned out to be the case.

If it weren't for watching the live broadcast, everyone would have thought that he was worth a few million dollars, and wouldn't even enter an antique shop!
It's not that expensive!

"The antique circle is very deep. I just heard that the antique shops here are very powerful, and it is an ancient town, so I want to take a look."

"I'm not very interested in collecting antiques."

Zhao Chen said again.

At this time, the shop owner came out from inside.

He took out another brocade box. The brocade box looks very delicate, and the things inside should not be too bad.

"Brother, seeing your high vision, I brought you something specially."

"I just received this thing a few days ago, it is definitely a treasure."

The boss opened the brocade box while talking.

The box was opened, revealing a dull metal object.

This object looks like a round cake, which looks dull and dull. There are a few small characters on it that cannot be read clearly, and it can be vaguely recognized that it is the engraving technique and font of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Chen didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he saw the writing on the metal object, he became interested.

Zhao Chen couldn't be more familiar with this object.

"Boss, what is this object?" Zhao Chen asked, pretending not to know the origin of the object.

The boss clicked his tongue and said, "I don't know what decoration is on it, it may be a carriage, or it may be armor, but I have checked, it is indeed something from the Southern Song Dynasty, and the words on it are fine."

Zhao Chen replied: "This thing is just ironware. Although it has been maintained, ironware is not very valuable."

"What's the price of this?" Zhao Chen asked again.

The boss pondered for a while, stretched out his hand, and made an "eight" gesture.

"Eighty thousand?" Zhao Chen frowned.

"Wow, [-], I don't have [-] things here." The boss said hastily.

Generally speaking, antiques are either very expensive or very cheap, and ironware with no special meaning is indeed of low value.

"Okay, then I'll buy it." Zhao Chen didn't make any further counter-offers.

The rules of the antique shop, once the price is called, it cannot be changed.The boss said the price, and Zhao Chen agreed, then the boss can't increase the price, otherwise the rules of the antique shop will be broken.

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you."

The boss nodded briskly, and he was also a little puzzled. Is there something tricky about this object?
But it's just a piece of iron, not worth much.

Netizens saw Zhao Chen selling antiques, and the barrage instantly became lively.

[The master is going to buy antiques! 】

[How did you buy a big iron plate! 】

[Is it only a few thousand dollars for things from the Southern Song Dynasty? 】

[Everyone is too deep in antiques. Copper coins from the Southern Song Dynasty can be bought for twenty or thirty cheap, and they are genuine copper coins, which are too common in the market. 】

The store owner helped Zhao Chen pack it, and Zhao Chen scanned the QR code to pay.

After the transaction was completed, the boss couldn't help asking: "Brother, do you have any comments on this iron plate? It seems that you bought it very happily."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen explained with a smile: "There are many kinds of armor in ancient China, and the three most famous ones are the three."

"The first is the cotton armor, which first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Later, Ming and Qing Dynasties wore this kind of armor, and even crossbow arrows could not penetrate it."

"The second is the chain mail, which is a type of armor from the Ming Dynasty. It is made of steel wire and has countless steel lock pieces on it. This kind of armor cannot be damaged by ordinary knives and axes."

"The third is Burenjia from the Song Dynasty."

"The Stepman Armor, a lot of iron pieces are attached together with leather strips and armor nails, can almost defend the whole body. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest armor in China, and it has the strongest protection ability."

"The disadvantage is that it is too cumbersome, which will affect the march of the troops and will delay the fighter plane."

"This iron plate is not an ordinary iron plate, but a heart-guard mirror of a Song Dynasty infantry armor."

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, the boss was stunned.

Generally speaking, in antique shops, it is the boss who speaks well and rightly, fooling the customers for a while.

Now it's completely reversed.

The boss is numb.
