Jianbao life

Chapter 1108 Awareness
After being reminded by Chu Chen, everyone quickly looked at the bottom of the big jar, and it turned out that, as Chu Chen said, the inscriptions were all written backwards, which made Hong Xiaozhu and Qiao Qingtai look at each other in dismay.

After a while, Hong Xiaozhu said with a wry smile: "It's not guaranteed at the end of the day. I didn't even notice such a mistake. If it spreads out, the big guys will probably laugh to death."

Qiao Qingtai smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged, Old Hong. You usually study Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing porcelains. It doesn't matter if you accidentally miss a hand in a Tang kiln. Besides, old man Qin has lost his hands, so it doesn't matter if it's you. How strange."

Seeing the smile on Qiao Qingtai's face, Hong Xiaozhu said, "I said, why do you seem to be taking pleasure in other's misfortunes?"

Qiao Qingtai said with a look of contempt: "Nah! You old guy just doesn't know good people. It's a mistake to comfort you."

Hong Xiaozhu sneered: "Come on, I don't know who you are, last time..."

While the two elders were bickering, Chu Chen fell into deep thought, and when he thought of the end, his complexion was a little uneasy.

"Xiao Chu, what's the matter?" Qiao Qingtai asked quickly when he saw Chu Chen's strange behavior.

Chu Chen came back to his senses when he heard the words, and said with a slight smile, "It's nothing, I just thought of something."

Seeing that Chu Chen didn't want to say more, Qiao Qingtai didn't ask any more questions, but asked Chu Chen to speak up if he had any problems, so that they could do what they could.

For this, Chu Chen smiled and expressed his gratitude.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, and had lunch at Hong Xiaozhu's place before leaving.

In the next three days, under the leadership of Qiao Qingtai, Chu Chen went to visit several scenic spots in Jiangcheng, and visited the antique market in Jiangcheng, and gained something.Afterwards, Chu Chen said goodbye to Qiao Qingtai and flew back to the capital.

…………

After returning to Beijing from Jiangcheng, Chu Chen lived a peaceful life for a while.

Although Zhong Zhili was still not brought to justice, Chu Chen still felt a little relieved without the general Cai Jianxuan and several of his disciples.And Wu Ke's gradually swollen belly also made Chu Chen more and more excited and excited, so he was always in a good mood during this time.

However, Chu Chen didn't have any troubles in his heart. Just saying that there were five Gang Maos and one Yan Mao made him a little confused, because no matter how he combined them, he couldn't see any special hints, which made him He even wondered if he had been deceived by Zhang Huo Ni.

But in the last thought, Chu Chen felt that even if Zhang Huoni had lied to him, these few items must have some special function, otherwise there would not be such a strange combination. Maybe the reason why he didn't find anything special, maybe It's because he hasn't found the right way yet.

But then again, where is the correct way?

In addition to Wang Mang's treasure troubling Chu Chen, there are still two thorns in his heart now, and he will be completely relieved only if they are all resolved.

In the blink of an eye, it was December, and today happened to be Sunday. Seeing that there was nothing to do at home, Chu Chen drove to the antique shop by himself.

Since it was Sunday, the business in the antique shop was very good. Many customers were picking out their favorite items. When they saw Chu Chen coming, whether they were familiar or unfamiliar customers, they all greeted Chu Chen warmly.Chu Chen also responded enthusiastically. If the other party asked him for advice, he would stop and explain a few words. The atmosphere was very good.

After getting familiar with this period of time, Zhou Wenping became more and more proficient in managing the antique shop. Chu Chen considered whether to put Zhou Wenping in the museum post. He couldn't do what he wanted, and Fang Jinbo was too young, so it was more appropriate to transfer Zhou Wenping over.

However, if Zhou Wenping was transferred away, who would he let to manage the antique shop?After all, the main business here is still the emerald business, and Chu Chen is really worried that the old fifth who likes good wine will be in charge.

"Teacher Chu..."

Just as Chu Chen was thinking about this question in the reception room, there was a sudden shout.

Chu Chen came back to take a look, and found that it was Wen Haoyang who came.

"Hao Yang, why did you come to the capital today?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.

Wen Haoyang's heart skipped a beat when he saw Chu Chen's smile, because he felt that there were some other emotions in it, but this feeling was only fleeting, making him wonder if he had read it wrong.

"Haoyang, what's wrong?"

Hearing Chu Chen's voice, Wen Haoyang quickly came back to his senses and said, "Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry that I was distracted. I came to the capital the day before yesterday, and I decided to stay in the capital for a while before going back."

"Oh? You want to work in the capital?" Chu Chen asked curiously.

"Yes." Wen Haoyang scratched his head: "The main reason is that I think the antique market in Beijing is much better than my home, and it is easy to improve my ability in this area here."

Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "That's fine, by the way, have you solved your work? If not, I can help."

Wen Haoyang quickly waved his hand: "My cousin is also in the capital, and he has already solved it for me. I will go to work in XX company tomorrow."

Chu Chen gave a thumbs up: "Fortune 500 companies, it seems that your cousin has offered you a good job. Not bad, work hard, maybe you will be able to settle in the capital in a short time."

Wen Haoyang smiled and said: "Thank you for your good words, I guess I will have to trouble you in the future."

Chu Chen waved his hand: "It's okay, if you have any questions about antiques, just come to me, I will definitely tell you everything."

Wen Haoyang quickly expressed his thanks, and then he took out a box from his handbag, put it in front of Chu Chen, and said, "Mr. Chu, I really have a question to ask you. This is a bunch of boxes I just bought. Blood dragon wood bracelets, according to the seller, blood dragon wood is the king of trees and has the title of king wood, and under strong light, blood dragon wood can obviously transmit light along the grain, showing a gem-like red color."

"I just saw that the seller's strong flashlight can indeed transmit light. It looks like a gemstone, which is very magical. And the price is not expensive. I bought a bunch of them for only more than 400 yuan. Mr. Chu, this kind of Is the wood really as the seller said, the potential for appreciation is huge?"

Chu Chen took the blood dragon wood bracelet in his hand, looked it over, and then laughed.

This blood dragon wood is blood red in color.No fragrance, high density, can sink water, fine wood, thick oil.The blood dragon wood texture has a kind of golden thread wood grain, which can be crystal clear and transparent like a rhinoceros horn under strong light. This unique light transmission performance is the most obvious among all wood species.

Some people may ask, does the light transmission of wood subvert the traditional understanding of wood?In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the paper dripped with oil will become transparent, and the wood with sufficient oil content will produce light transmission if the oil cells are finely and continuously distributed.Not only is the blood dragon wood unique, but the blood dragon wood is more obvious.

In fact, there are different opinions on the market about what kind of wood blood dragon wood is. Some people say it is "red soil sinking", some people say it is "red chinan", and some people even think that blood dragon wood is not a natural wood, but a kind of synthetic wood. It can be said that the chemical wood is quite controversial.There are different opinions on the origin of this kind of wood, but according to research, it should be in Southeast Asia.

Seeing Chu Chen's smile, Wen Haoyang said in surprise, "Mr. Chu, haven't I been cheated?"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Let's talk about whether to lie or not. First of all, the reason why blood dragon wood suddenly became popular is because of its light-transmitting properties. As for the collection value of blood dragon wood bracelets, it is actually not much. high."

"Usually a string of blood dragon wood bracelets or rosary beads costs around two or three hundred, but because crafts such as blood dragon wood bracelets are quite popular during this period, many merchants mark the value of blood dragon wood bracelets at seven or eight hundred." There are also some. The price of the bracelet like yours is still a bit expensive, but it doesn’t matter if you buy it and play with it.”

After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Wen Haoyang looked very disappointed, and he asked again: "Mr. Chu, since it has such a unique light transmission, why is it not worth collecting?"

Chu Chen said: "Generally speaking, the most valuable wood species must have a long history. Red sandalwood, golden nan, and huanghuali were not collected because they were suitable for making bracelets. It’s about the historical heritage of these woods as furniture and building materials.”

"However, the popularity of blood dragon wood is different from precious woods such as red sandalwood and huanghuali. It is completely hyped up. Do you see how much playability it has besides being able to transmit light? Everyone is chasing it now just for a picture. It's fresh, and after a while the heat will pass, and there will be nothing left."

After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Wen Haoyang sighed: "So that's what happened, hey! It seems that there is still a lot of knowledge in this collection."

Chu Chen said: "Actually, I think it's better for you to concentrate on studying porcelain, and don't be too distracted by other things. Our business is expensive and fine."

"I will definitely keep your words in my heart."

Wen Haoyang nodded again and again, and then he put away the string, and then he hesitated to speak, his expression seemed a little awkward.

Seeing this, Chu Chen smiled and said, "Haoyang, if you have anything to say, just say it, and I will definitely help if I can."

Wen Haoyang smiled embarrassedly: "That's what happened. My cousin knew that I like antiques. It happened that one of his friends had a few things that he didn't plan to collect at home, so he asked me if I had any ideas. I agreed. , but if it is porcelain, I still have some confidence, but I asked, besides porcelain, there are also things like bamboo carvings. I really don’t understand this aspect, I wonder if you can help me to see?"

Looking at Wen Haoyang's expectant eyes, Chu Chen asked back: "Do you want to go now?"

Wen Haoyang waved his hand: "No, my cousin's friend is going on a trip during this period, and he won't be back until next Wednesday, but I have to go to work and I can only go on Saturday. I wonder if you have time on that day?"
