Jianbao life

Chapter 1101
In the next few days, Qiao Qingtai originally planned to take Chu Chen to the various scenic spots in Jiangcheng, but after just browsing around for a day, Qiao Qingtai got a message, so he suspended the rest of the itinerary.

On the way, Qiao Qingtai said with a smile, "Xiao Chu, it's a coincidence that you came here. Usually it's not a good thing. Chen Liujin doesn't introduce much. Maybe we can get something unexpected today. "

Chu Chen nodded with a smile, and then asked curiously, "Old Qiao, why is this man called Chen Liujin?"

Qiao Qingtai laughed and said, "It's not that this guy can eat. It's normal to have a meal of three catties of rice. At most, he can eat six catties of rice at one time, so everyone gave him this nickname."

"Six catties?!" Hearing this, Chu Chen and the three of them couldn't believe it. This is six catties of rice. For some people with a small appetite, they may be full just by looking at it.

Chu Chen asked, "Is he suffering from some kind of physical illness?"

Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "I went to the hospital to see him. The doctor said that he had hyperphagia, but after a period of treatment, it didn't have much effect. In addition, he didn't feel any discomfort, so he won't be cured."

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Then he spent a lot of money on food alone."

"That is, the money this guy earns is basically spent on food."

Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "But because of this, his commission is a bit higher than others, and he has to take care of his meal. However, all the things he introduces are good, so it's quite a bargain."

Chu Chen chuckled: "As long as he's not evil..."

After more than an hour's drive, the car came to a village and stopped.

At this time, a man in his 30s walked up to the car and greeted Qiao Qingtai with a smile on his face.

Qiao Qingtai smiled and introduced the two parties. The man in front of him was Chen Liujin, which left Chu Chen speechless.

The reason is also simple. Originally, Chu Chen heard that Chen Liujin could eat so much in one meal, not to mention being fat, he should at least be stronger, but in the end, Chen Liujin was as thin as a bamboo pole, not to mention that he was as thin as a gust of wind. will be blown away.With this appearance, it was hard to believe that there was nothing wrong with his body.

Of course, there are all kinds of wonders in the world, maybe he has a special physique, Chu Chen was only slightly surprised, and then regained his composure.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Qiao Qingtai said, "Xiao Chen, come up and show the way, let's go there now."

Chen Liujin smiled bitterly and said, "Old Qiao, we can only walk there."

"What?" Qiao Qingtai felt a little strange.

"Do you think this road looks like a car can go?" Chen Liujin pointed to the road ahead.

It turned out that this was an ancient village, and the village roads were also stone-paved roads. Unfortunately, they were almost destroyed later, and they were all taken home by the villagers to build houses.This kind of thing is not uncommon all over the country. If you take something from the public house, it is useless for me to take it or not. Even if the village chief says it is useless, it is not worth the matter.

It’s just that it’s going to be hard for Chu Chen and the others. There’s nothing they can do about it. Last night, there was a torrential rain. In addition, the place is relatively poor and has no money to repair cement roads, which made the village roads muddy. There is no way to drive in, and everyone can only choose to walk.

Hu Yong said: "I can't even build a road here, so can there be anything good?"

Chen Liujin said with a smile: "You can't say that. There used to be high-ranking officials here. Otherwise, how could it be possible to pave the stone road? It's just that in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a bandit disaster here, and it hasn't recovered since then."

After hearing this, Hu Yong said, "It's not right. How can there be good things left after the disaster?"

Chen Liujin chuckled: "Of course gold and silver are rarely left behind, but those bandits want bottles and jars of porcelain? Don't worry, my principle of doing business is to do business without deception, and I also came here to investigate beforehand. After all, I just invited Mr. Qiao over here, and besides, with Mr. Qiao here, I can't possibly lie to you sincerely!"

Qiao Qingtai smiled and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, take us there quickly, if it's true or not, you'll know after reading it."

"That makes sense, come on, put them on for you."

With that said, Chen Liujin took out a few pairs of rain boots from the plastic bag in his hand and handed them to everyone.

Everyone put on rain boots and left the driver here to watch the car, then followed Chen Liujin to the door of a villager's house.

Along the way, Chen Liujin introduced the situation of the family to everyone.

The owner of the family was named Lian Youshui. His family was not only a landlord, but also a big family long ago. 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 single seedling left.What this means is that all the property left by the previous ancestors fell on Lianyou sailors.

It is said that the property of the poor family is not much money, but it is different even if there is a water family. Until the Republic of China, they were still the richest man in the village. The ancestors not only had land in the village, but also lived in the city. Doing business and teaching, all earn silver instead of copper.

During the period, although the village was hit by bandits, and his family suffered the heaviest losses, but at that time, because they realized that something was wrong, they transferred part of their property in advance. In addition, the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. It is not difficult to imagine that the antiques and the like left behind There are definitely not a few babies.

Moreover, even Youshui's family was very kind to the villagers in the past, and they have always been good people, so that their family did not suffer any crimes during the last century. Although most of the gold and silver in the family were handed over, some porcelain There are still a lot of things like that left.

Of course, if you think so, only the Lian Youshui family will know the exact number, and outsiders can only guess.
The door was unlocked, so Chen Liujin went up and knocked on the door. After a while, a rural man in his 60s and [-]s with a cane came to open the door.

The uncle glanced at everyone and nodded to Chen Liujin: "Liujin is here, come in."

After finishing speaking, he led everyone to walk into the hall, but because of some problems with his legs and feet, he didn't walk fast, and it took three to five minutes to get there.

Please take your seats. Although Chu Chen and the others said you are welcome, the uncle still stubbornly poured tea for everyone.

Next, Chen Liujin gave an introduction to the two parties. Not surprisingly, the uncle was exactly what Chen Liujin said.

"Sit down for a while, and I'll go get the things out."

Seeing Lian Youshui stumbling out, Chu Chen asked, "Why does he live here alone? An old man has inconvenient legs and feet. Can it work?"

"The old man is stubborn."

Chen Liujin said: "His children have bought houses in the city now. The old fat man got sick and passed away the year before last. His son asked him to live in the city but he was not happy and said he wanted to look after the old house. Some time ago, he put His leg was broken, and he didn't even call his children, saying it was too troublesome. However, it was precisely because of this that he thought of selling things to raise money for his leg."

I heard that this is the case, and everyone really doesn't know what to say.However, Chu Chen felt that if it was him, he would not be at ease living here alone, and would have to hire a nanny to take care of him no matter what.But then again, even with a personality like Shui's, maybe his children would have to reject him to find him a nanny.

After a while, Lian Youshui came back with a bag. He put the bag on the table and said, "Just these two things, take a look."

Everyone was not polite, and took the things out of the bag.

First of all, what Qiao Qingtai took out was a statue of an arhat. This is a statue of an arhat sitting on his knees, with his chest exposed and his belly exposed.

This statue of Arhat is made using the method of making lacquer, which is also called Jiashu and Xieyu.As a method of lacquering statues, first use clay to form a tire, and then use lacquer to paste linen cloth on the outside of the mud tire;In the end, the mud tire was taken out, so it is also known as the "empty image".

The lacquer ware produced by this process is light in body, thin in wall, exquisite in shape and round in shape.

Clip lacquer ware is mostly used in the production of Buddha statues. It is not afraid of water immersion, can withstand high temperature, acid and alkali corrosion, and is also called bodiless lacquer ware.Its exquisite and vivid production process, its body is as thin as paper, and its material is as light as a feather, which amazes people and doubts it is a miracle.And because the texture is very light, it is also called "line image".

Judging from the craftsmanship and patina characteristics of this Arhat statue, it should have been made in the early Qing Dynasty. However, due to the poor production and poor preservation, the market value is only tens of thousands of yuan.

The other thing is a blue and white cup, which is extremely regular in shape, with the six-character inscription "Kangxi Years of the Qing Dynasty" in regular script with blue and white double circles on the bottom.The rim of the cup is round, and the exposed part shows the unparalleled whiteness of Kangxi porcelain, which complements the jade-like enamel.

The body of the cup is painted with gossip patterns, which reflect each other with the yin and yang diagrams on the inner bottom. The outer wall near the foot is patterned with waves of sea water, and the lines are drawn like gossamer, which shows that the painter has extraordinary skill.The blue and white hair color is bright and gorgeous, which is the typical emerald hair blue in the Kangxi period.

The Yin-Yang Bagua diagram is a schematic diagram for Chinese people to explain the origin of all things in the world and nature, and 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 blue and white cups in the Kangxi period.

Judging from the workmanship and appearance of this cup, the market value is a bit more expensive, but it is worth about [-] at most, which is really not the windfall that Qiao Qingtai mentioned earlier.

Next, everyone talked about the price. Even the price of water was not high, and the two items were only [-] yuan in total. However, Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai were not profiteers, and three times the profit was not bad for them, so it was just a symbol Sexually pay back the price, and the two parties will close the deal.

At this time, Chen Liujin said with a smile on his face, "Uncle Lian, I heard that you still have some treasures at home, can you show them for us to admire?"

Unexpectedly, Lian Youshui waved his hand directly and said, "No, other than these two items have already been sold out. I used to buy a house for my children, so I sold all those items to raise the rent."
Hearing that Youshui said that there was nothing to sell, Qiao Qingtai glanced at Chen Liujin. Chen Liujin knew what Qiao Qingtai meant and asked if he had lied to him in the previous phone call.

Chen Liujin gave Qiao Qingtai an innocent look, meaning that of course he didn't lie to Qiao Qingtai, and there was no need to. You can't get along with money.

Therefore, Chen Liujin smiled and handed Lian Youshui a good cigarette, lit Lian Youshui's cigarette and said, "Uncle Lian, I, an elder, came here on a special trip to buy goods. He is from the antique store in Jiangcheng." This one! The price given is also very good, why don’t you show him one or two items, the items are good, and the price will not treat you badly.”
Lian Youshui hesitated for a moment and said, "Liujin, I really don't have any antiques in my house. If I have any, why don't I sell them for a few dollars to treat my feet? Look, I've been injured like this, and I'm still afraid of this." A little money is not enough."
"That's fine, you are thinking about it!"

Chen Liujin didn't say much, and took everyone to bid farewell to Lian Youshui.

After walking out of the gate, Qiao Qingtai asked, "Xiao Chen, he really has nothing left?"

Chen Liujin smiled and shook his head: "That's definitely impossible. He did this because he was afraid of the low price and the jealousy of the villagers. Rumors about his house having many antiques have long been spread in the village. As for when someone quarreled with his wife a few years ago, they scolded her for getting rich by selling things from her ancestors, shameless."

"And I've also inquired. Although his family's antiques have sold a lot, it is certain that there are still many pieces at home, and many of them are treasures at the bottom of the box."

Hu Yong asked curiously after hearing the words: "If this is the case, then why did we come out?"

Chu Chen chuckled and explained to Hu Yong, "Hu Yong, it's because you are inexperienced. When we encounter this kind of thing, we always retreat to advance, understand? People say that there are no antiques, but you still want to say that there are no antiques. , In the end, let him slap his face and take out the things? Based on his character, this is obviously impossible, so we have to give them time to think."

Hu Yong said: "Then when will we come over? Tomorrow?"

Chen Liujin laughed when he heard the words: "Of course it's impossible. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that his family has treasures, and there are more than one or two. This is a big fish, how can it be let go? And, The most important thing in our business to buy good goods is to be quick and slow. If you want to catch a big fish, you can't rush or slow. Otherwise, if other cats smell the fishy smell, accidents will easily happen. Presumably Isn't that what everyone wants to see?"
Everyone laughed.

"Then when shall we come back?"
"Hehe, let's pad our stomachs first, we will have the strength to work when we are full." Chen Liujin patted his stomach.

Qiao Qingtai looked at the time and said speechlessly, "I said Xiao Chen, it's only ten o'clock, so what kind of food are you eating?"

Chen Liujin smacked his lips and said, "I can't help it. I came here in a hurry in the morning, so I ate ten buns. Now my stomach is growling with hunger. If I don't eat anymore, I can hardly walk. I don't have any strength left." work!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. After a while, Qiao Qingtai smiled wryly and shook his head: "Well, I have nothing to say when I meet such an idiot like you. Just go and eat where you say."

Chen Liujin chuckled and said, "Let's eat the farm food here today. The taste is so delicious that your mouth is watering just thinking about it. Let's go! I'll take you there to try it..."
