Chapter 434 Bronze Mirror (continued)

Chu Chen took out the two bronze mirrors he had just fancy, and chose two more bronze mirrors that looked good, and then asked the stall owner, "Boss, what are these bronze mirrors for sale?"

Seeing that the business was coming, the stall owner lifted his spirits and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, little brother, your vision is really good. These few days..."

Before the stall owner finished speaking, Chu Chen waved his hand and interrupted: "Boss, don't be silly, you know the quality of these bronze mirrors, if you are cheaper, then these bronze mirrors I took it all."

Seeing what Chu Chen said, the stall owner pondered. After a while, he said, "Little brother, since we are destined to meet each other, I won't say much. If you want these four bronze mirrors, just give me three thousand!"

"Three thousand? Let me tell you, boss, how can you have such a price for a bronze mirror? For a bronze mirror like this, I'll give you as much as you want for 100 yuan!"

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the collection of bronze mirrors has been affected by the legal restrictions on bronze ware transactions. In recent years, the price of bronze mirrors has also continued to slump.Like this Ming Dynasty chronicle mirror in Chu Chen's hand, the four characters "Jiawu Autumn Home" are engraved on the surface, and the quality is not bad, but the current market price is indeed less than a hundred yuan.

But after another three or four years, with an auction, the bronze mirror finally had an orthodox status, so the price of the bronze mirror began to skyrocket, and the value of the chronological mirror in Chu Chen's hand also suddenly rose to four. 500 yuan.

However, neither Chu Chen nor the stall owner has the ability to foretell. When the stall owner saw what Chu Chen said, he immediately knew that he would not be able to fool him when he met a pedestrian, so he simply said: "The four-sided bronze mirror sells for a thousand. Qian, you see that this bronze mirror is so big, but it is quite rare."

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "It's too expensive. Although this bronze mirror is big, it's covered in red paint. Who knows what it will look like if the red paint is removed? What if there are flaws? Boss, if you really sell it sincerely , I want 500 yuan!"

The stall owner repeatedly waved his hands and said, "Little brother, five hundred yuan is too little. You must let me earn some hard work money? Sincerely, you can take 600 yuan, and it can't be less!"

"Okay then, please wrap it up for me..."

Chu Chen pretended to ponder for a while, then nodded, counted 600 yuan from the bag and handed it over...

As soon as Chu Chen left, two men came over eagerly. One of them glanced at the stall and asked the stall owner eagerly, "Boss, at noon, I remembered that there was a It’s a big bronze mirror with red paint on it, right? Why is it gone now?”

The stall owner was in the joy of the transaction just now, he was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and said, "That bronze mirror has been bought by a young man just now, what's the problem?"

"Where did that young man go?" the man asked anxiously.

The stall owner pointed to the direction where Chu Chen left, and he heard the man say "thank you", and chased there with his companion anxiously.

Seeing this appearance, the stall owner didn't realize that he was a mistake. He regretted it in his heart. If he had known this, let alone three thousand, even if he drove six thousand, the young man would have to buy it!

"I said, Old Zhao, you're such a hothead, you didn't even ask what the parents looked like, how did you find someone?"

"This... hey! The one in front with the big bag should be it! Little brother! Wait..."

Chu Chen was happily walking back when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. Looking back, he unexpectedly found that the person calling him was actually Zhao Xueyi, and beside him was Uncle Wu.

Chu Chen hurriedly went up to greet him, and after saying hello, he asked a little strangely, "What's the matter with you two sweating profusely?"

Zhao Xueyi took a breath, and then said with a speechless face: "Well, the things are in your hands, it seems that I have no hope!"

Chu Chen was a little puzzled by Zhao Xueyi's words, and asked with a puzzled look, "What got into my hands?"

Uncle Wu smiled and asked, "Did you just buy a big bronze mirror painted with red paint?"

Chu Chen understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, but he still asked a little strangely: "Uncle Zhao, since you have taken a fancy to this bronze mirror, why didn't you buy it earlier?"

Zhao Xueyi clapped his hands together and said, "Hi! Let's find a place to sit down, we won't be able to explain this for a while."

"OK……"

Afterwards, Chu Chen brought the two of them to the VIP room that had just been renovated in his shop. It happened that Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu were there. The bronze mirror with red paint on the surface was taken out.

"Hey!"

Zhao Xueyi carefully picked up the bronze mirror, looked it over carefully, and sighed: "It's also your luck, when I went to eat with you Uncle Wu at noon, when I passed the stall just now, I also saw this bronze mirror. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but after thinking about it later, I always felt that this bronze mirror was very familiar, and I just remembered that this bronze mirror should be a family heirloom of an elder of mine back then."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xueyi told Chu Chen the story of the bronze mirror.

This bronze mirror is actually a bronze mirror with gold and silver staggered dragon patterns from the Warring States period. It is a small button and a round button seat. The craftsmanship is very exquisite, it can be said to be a wonderful workmanship.

Zhao Xueyi's elder also got this bronze mirror through untold hardships, and because this bronze mirror also fought wits and bravery with the invaders of the island country, that experience can be written into a thrilling novel up.

"I saw this bronze mirror a few times when I was a child. Later, during that period of time, my elders painted it red because they were afraid that the mirror would be damaged, and because of the problematic composition of his family, the whole family was killed. It was sent to a farm in the west, and I don’t know what happened, but this bronze mirror actually fell into the hands of the peddler just now.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Xueyi's expression was a little gloomy, and he didn't need to think about it, since this bronze mirror was lost, his elder must be dead.

"No, I have to ask!" As soon as the words fell, Zhao Xueyi hurried out.

Everyone could understand Zhao Xueyi's feelings, and they all sighed slightly when they saw this.

After a while, Chu Chen asked, "Uncle Wu, do you have any potion for removing the red paint?"
"Don't bother Uncle Wu, I know where there is such a potion, I'll go and get a bottle right now." Lao Wu said first.

"Row……"

After the fifth child left, Chu Chen asked, "Uncle Wu, when did you come back, and you didn't call me, so I can pick you up!"

Recently, Uncle Wu has been out of town, busy contacting antique porcelain for the store. After all, the number of antiques is limited. If you only do antique business, there will always be a day when it will come to an end.

However, the antique porcelain contacted by Uncle Wu is all carefully selected high-quality ceramics, which can be completely faked, and they are all produced in limited quantities.

Of course, it is impossible for Chu Chen to sell these antique porcelains as real ones. Each piece of these antique porcelains has the name of his shop, and they are completely bought and sold. Bullying, it doesn't make sense. Now that you open an antique shop, it has changed.

Originally, Chu Chen was going to deal with this kind of matter by himself, but Uncle Wu advised him to deal with the matter in the capital first, and it happened that he was really busy a while ago, so Uncle Wu and Zhao Xueyi went to the porcelain capital together.

"I went back to Beijing this morning, so it doesn't matter if I pick it up or not." Uncle Wu said with a smile, "I've already talked about the Porcelain Capital, let's go together at the beginning of next month, when the time comes, we'll get the samples." Accept it, and if you are satisfied, you can sign the contract."

Chu Chen said gratefully: "It's really hard work for you, Uncle Wu!"

"What's the matter, my old bones need to use some residual heat!" Uncle Wu waved his hands lightly and said.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, and Chu Chen said with some embarrassment: "This... Uncle Wu, I have something to report to you."
"What's the matter?" Seeing Chu Chen's shyness, Uncle Wu felt a little strange.

"It's like this..." Chu Chen scratched his head, and said weakly, "Ke Ke and I have decided to get married when she returns home after graduation!"

"Pfft! Cough cough..."

Chu Chen's words made Uncle Wu spit out the sip of tea he had just taken into his mouth, followed by a cough, which scared Chu Chen hurriedly stepped forward to pat for a while, after a while, Uncle Wu took a breath, a little Asked in disbelief:

"Xiaochen, what did you just say? Are you planning to get married as soon as you graduate?"

After seeing Chu Chen nodding his head to confirm, Wu Pi was still a little dumbfounded, and after a while, he asked, "Why didn't that girl mention this to us?"

Chu Chen scratched his head, and said with a hey smile: "Isn't there going to be a long vacation next month? We originally thought about it and waited for her to come back, but I heard Sister Shu said that there are a lot of things to prepare for marriage, so I just put this I told my parents about it, and they said that after a while, I invite you to have a meal together and discuss it."

"Wow!" Uncle Wu pointed at Chu Chen's nose and scolded with a smile: "You brat, is it because your parents don't talk, and you are not going to tell us?"

"How could it be!" Chu Chen waved his hands again and again and said, "Isn't it convenient for you to say that you have been out of town during this time?"

"Then you won't tell Aunt Wu first?" Uncle Wu said with a beard blowing.

"I just want to tell you soon after you come back!" Chu Chen laughed. In fact, the reason why he didn't tell Aunt Wu first was because he was afraid of Aunt Wu's nagging. Progress, he was really ashamed to say it.

After all, we have known each other for several years. Uncle Wu still doesn't understand what Chu Chen is afraid of. He said teasingly: "Come back with me later, and you will tell Aunt Wu yourself when the time comes!"

"what!……"
