Cultivating Master In City

Jinpan, formerly known as Jin Zhijian, is a thorough gangster at the bottom of society. Before he was 30 years old, he lived a very failed life. Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking can be said to do everything. The little money that his parents had saved for him was also making him waste a few years.

After the age of 30, he began to contact antiques and became active in the antique market as an antique broker. After five years, he finally became the largest antique trading market in Longcheng and the gold medal antique broker in one street.

One summer day when he was 36, he was destined to go down in history. He met Zhou Yi. He asked Zhou Yi to accept him as an apprentice, but Zhou Yi agreed. At this time, he only knew his master's surname was Zhou.

Five years is enough for the gold plate to find out all the antiques in the whole antique street. It is like watching patterns on the palm of his hand.

Jinpan took Zhou Yi three turns and two turns into an alley within the scope of heyday street. If you are not particularly familiar with the people here, you don't know this alley. There are some so-called underground trading places. In these underground trading places, some things that can't be seen but are absolutely authentic are often sold by some people. Jinpan knows that the alchemy furnace and device furnace required by Zhou Yi can be found here.

We have almost found the end of this alley. There are two vermilion paint doors here. Looking at the antique, they are very similar to the decorative doors of antique shops. The gold plate looks back to see if Zhou Yi asks Zhou Yi for instructions. Zhou Yi nods, and then the gold plate comes forward and slaps the vermilion door.

The gold plate came forward and patted the vermilion paint door, not casually, but rhythmically, three long, two short, two long, finally patted twice on the doorknob, and then stopped.

After a while, there was a sound of people walking in the vermilion door. Then a small door next to the vermilion door was opened, and a gray head came out.

The gray head stretched out, looked out, and found that it was a familiar person. Then he closed the small door and opened one of the two vermilion doors.

"Lao Li, every time you are so cautious, we are not cops at all. Look, we have brought you customers again."

"Three fat men, be careful to sail for ten thousand years. What good buyer does this introduce to us?" the gray headed owner is a little thin old man who is over 60 years old but very hale and hearty. He squints his eyes and carefully observes Zhou Yi. It seems that he wants to judge what kind of person Zhou Yi is from the details of Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi stood there and ignored the old man. His mind had passed through the vermilion door and entered the inner courtyard. The space inside covers an area of at least ten mu. There are pavilions, waterside pavilions and a lotus pond in the middle.

You know, in the capital, Longcheng, there is an inch of land and an inch of gold. Although Dingsheng street is not in the core area of the city center, it is also close to the core area. It can even have a quadrangle courtyard covering an area of nearly ten mu. It can be imagined that the owner of this courtyard is either rich or expensive.

"Lao Li, the guest I brought is definitely a distinguished guest. What we want to see is Shang and Zhou copper. Don't deceive us with those fake things, you know?"

Lao Li Tou, as a libertarian, of course knows the virtue of the gold plate and the cunning thing. He won't say such words easily, and he can't see through Zhou Yi in front of him all the time. Listening to the tone of the gold plate, it seems that Zhou Yi is indeed a noble man, so he politely let Zhou Yi in.

Zhou Yi walked in front, followed by the gold plate and walked into the courtyard. Old Li Tou pulled a gold plate. The gold plate turned back and said to old Li Tou, "I'll go in with you. I can't let you deceive you."

Lao Li Tou was even more surprised by the performance of the gold plate. How tricky and slippery a person the gold plate is usually. Generally, when people are brought to them, they will find an excuse to run away quickly. But today's gold plate is closely behind the guest. Is there any oil and water on the guest?

"Lao Li, another guest is coming?" a female voice suddenly came.

As soon as Lao Li looked up, he saw a pretty girl standing by the lotus pond. As soon as his eyes turned, he immediately had an idea and shouted, "it's manager peach, manager peach. Indeed, there are distinguished guests. He wants to find Shang and Zhou copper."

The young girl standing next to the lotus pond turned and looked at Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi also glanced at the beautiful woman. This woman will never look more than 25 years old. She has a very graceful figure. She looks very smart and capable in a professional manager's suit.

"Guest, Hello, please follow me to the treasure East Pavilion."

Zhou Yi followed the professional manager around the corridor of the lotus pond and went to the East Pavilion. It was said that the East Pavilion was actually a hall covering a large area. After entering the hall, he found that the whole hall was antique and decorated with all kinds of bronzes.

The female manager also saw the gold plate and walked in with Zhou Yi. She frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Zhou Yi glanced at all the bronzes in the East Pavilion, including some tripod furnaces, but none of them were in the right, because they were neither alchemy furnaces nor tool furnaces at all.

The female manager looks at her words and looks and finds that Zhou Yi is very dissatisfied. She knows that everything doesn't seem to like Zhou Yi.

"I don't know what kind of bronzes precious guests want. Although the bronzes here are not necessarily from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, some are imitations of the Han and Northern and Southern Dynasties, they are indeed bronzes. If they are placed in your home, they can definitely show the high-end and high-grade of your home."

Zhou Yigang wanted to say what he wanted. The gold plate behind him suddenly chimed in and said, "the guest once told me that he wanted the kind of incense burner, which was used by the nobles in the spring and Autumn period of the Shang, Zhou and Zhou dynasties. Manager Taohong, I know you just received a batch of such cauldrons a few days ago. Didn't you?"

The Taohong female manager looked at the gold plate suspiciously, then nodded slightly and said, "yes, we have just received a batch of bronze tripod furnaces like that, but we still have to identify the age of these tripod furnaces."

Zhou Yi listened and couldn't help but move. Although he said that he didn't know much about the gold plate, he knew that the gold plate seemed sincere to himself from the beginning of meeting. There must be his reason for the gold plate to interrupt so much, so he nodded silently and said, "can I have a look at these tripod furnaces first?"

"Of course, we are satisfied as long as the guest asks, but we can't identify the value of this batch of goods. Even if the guest wants to take the goods, I'm afraid we can't give you a price."

Zhou Yi smiled, shook his head and said, "I can have a look first."

"Good guest, just wait a minute. I'll have a look and ask them to bring the goods."

When the female manager named Taohong left, she went home to look at the gold plate and asked, "did you rush to speak just now for any reason?"

The gold plate nodded and said excitedly, "master, you don't know. Few people in this industry can distinguish the alchemy furnace from the alchemy furnace. They have a lot of bronzes. Appraisal experts think it's an incense burning tripod furnace. If you directly use the alchemy furnace or the alchemy furnace, these people will be vigilant and add a big price at that time."

"Yes, you are very clever."

"Thank you for your praise. Helping Shifu can save some money, which is what I should do as an apprentice."

During the dialogue between Zhou Yi and Jinpan, the female manager named Taohong had walked into a building behind the courtyard and entered one of the largest offices. Taohong looked at a fat boss sitting behind the main platform and bowed: "today, a guest came to want Shang and Zhou copper, and the roll call was to burn incense burners."

"Oh, you can do this by yourself. You don't have to ask me for instructions." the fat boss seemed dissatisfied with his ability and muttered.

"But boss, I think they didn't come for the incense burner, but for the alchemy stove."

The fat boss, who was originally listless, suddenly looked up at Taohong and asked, "why do you say that?"

"Because the gold plate came with him, and often he took the initiative to speak for the guest. The gold plate knows some rules in our industry. Those treasure experts of the alchemy furnace and the incense burner can't tell, but the gold plate should know some inside information, so I think that person should come to the alchemy furnace."

"Do you think that man is a monk?"

"Very young and good-looking. I think I have a temperament. I should be a monk."

When the fat boss heard what Taohong manager said, he finally became interested. He walked out from behind the class platform and came to the East Pavilion in front with Taohong.

Before the fat boss entered the East Pavilion, his hearty voice had penetrated the door and entered the East Pavilion: "I don't know which Taoist friend is coming. Welcome to our omnipresent and all inclusive first-class building."

With the cheerful voice of the fat boss, the fat boss's big belly first came into Zhou Yi's eyes. Zhou Yi looked strangely at the fat boss in front of him. He didn't expect to see Qiu Laojiu of yipinlou again in his life.
