The range south of the table, then the table is on the dividing line. It can be counted or not. Fang You has been paying attention to the antiques placed on the counter. He has no idea about that side of the table.

He never paid attention to it. Now he finally understood what kind of trick Fatty Liu was playing.

Playing tricks, making false claims, diverting all his attention to other places, and ignoring the books placed on the table in front of Fatty Liu. Why does Fatty Liu always say that there must be genuine products in his store? The purpose is to transfer his attraction to

He gradually forgot that the things on the table were actually antiques in his shop.

Fang You smiled and looked at Fatty Liu. Fatty Liu seemed to be aware of Fang You's gaze. He leaned over the table and covered the books under him tightly.

"Shopkeeper Liu, there is no use doing these actions now." Fang You smiled. Just now when he was looking at Fatty Liu, he had already activated his escape technique. The gray airflow that had been stationary for a long time suddenly increased a lot, making Fang You

I feel at ease, this is what Fatty Liu calls the big door.

Unexpectedly, what Fatty Liu called an authentic product turned out to be a book. This was beyond Fang You's expectation. If antiques such as teacups and teapots can be put into use without destroying their value, then ancient books cannot be used at all.

, because the paper is old and some cannot withstand long-term turning.

There was an object with a large door. Generally, antique shop owners would place it in the most conspicuous place for customers to see, to show the strength of their antique shop. Fatty Liu did the opposite and actually took an ancient book.

Put it on the table and keep flipping through it. This is something that ordinary people dare not do. If the book accidentally gets stained with tea, the book will be finished.

It was this trick that tricked Fang You into seeing the antiques until he was almost dazzled.

"Haha, Fatty Liu, you have done all your tricks, but your cleverness is mistaken for your cleverness. Little Fang has such good eyesight." Mr. Li laughed happily and looked at Fatty Liu with some schadenfreude.

Fatty Liu's whole face was wrinkled and he looked pitiful. Unfortunately, Fang You knew his true greedy face clearly, so how could he be so soft-hearted?

Fang You looked at Fatty Liu with a half-smile but remained silent, while Wang Hao couldn't bear it anymore and mocked him: "Shopkeeper Liu, don't you deny your account?" Fatty Liu is still hugging him tightly.

He was holding the thick book on the table, as if he wanted to renege on his debt.

After looking at Mr. Li and then at Fang You, Fatty Liu sighed and put the book on the table with a look of reluctance, "I'm old, I'm old. Brother Fang has such a good eye. I, Fatty Liu, am convinced."

.”

Fatty Liu's whole face was full of mourning and he was about to cry. Now that Fang You found it, he lost more than just an ancient book. What Fang You said before was probably to set a trap for him. Unexpectedly,

He tried to trick him again and again, but finally it got stuck on himself.

Looking at the yellowed books on the table, Fang You walked forward with anticipation. Since he entered the antique business, he has seen most porcelain. Except for Mr. Wu's "Listening to the Wind" painting, he is very interested in it.

It is rare to see calligraphy and painting antiques, and it is such a thick volume. Judging from how precious Fatty Liu is, it must not be an unknown object.

Antiques such as calligraphy and paintings are the most difficult to preserve compared to other types. In addition to time being the biggest obstacle, the environment will also have an impact on the paper. Not only must it be protected against theft, but it must also be protected against insects, water, and fire. If the porcelain is damaged,

It can be repaired slightly, and the value will be minimally affected. However, the damage to paintings and calligraphy is extremely difficult to repair. If the damage is in a blank space, it is very easy to repair, but if the damage is in a place with writing or scenery, it is not possible at all.

It can be repaired by ordinary people.

Not only must we find a master who has the same roots as the calligraphy or painting in the painting, but we must also practice it so that no trace can be seen. This is simply not a job that one person can complete.

Although Ye Yuqing and Liu Jingjing did not understand the incomprehensible words of several people, looking at Fatty Liu's face, they understood that Fang You had won. The two of them immediately looked at the thick book on the table, wanting to read it. This made them

What is the origin of the thing that I have been looking for for nearly an afternoon?

Wang Hao came up to snatch it anxiously, and was hugged by Fatty Liu. When he was getting angry, he saw Fatty Liu gently handing the book to Fang You.

After taking the book, Fang You picked it up. Although it was a little heavy, it was still much lighter than the brick books in the library. He could take it completely with one hand. He gently placed the book on the table for ease.

Everyone can watch.

"Xu Xiake's Travels, I remember we learned it in our textbooks in elementary school. Is this book also an antique?" Wang Hao said with some surprise as he looked at the large block letters on the cover of the book.

Fang You smiled. Xu Xiake's travel notes were indeed learned in elementary school. Many people are familiar with them. Xu Xiake can be considered an old acquaintance.

Xu Xiake, also known as Hongzu, also known as Zhenzhi, was a great geographer, traveler and explorer in the Ming Dynasty. He traveled to Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang and Hebei without any government funding.

, Henan and other 16 provinces, covering more than half of China.

In more than 30 years of travel, he rarely traveled by carriage or horse. He always walked on foot. The places he visited were mostly desolate backcountry and inaccessible border areas. He was not sheltered from wind and rain, and was not afraid of tigers and wolves. He was accompanied by wind and clouds.

I went through life and death several times and experienced the hardships of the journey.

The most famous journeys were his experiences on Dawang Peak in Wuyi Mountain. When he climbed Dawang Peak, it was already sunset and he couldn't find a way down the mountain. So he grabbed the hanging thorns with his hands and fell all the way down.

Zhongyue Songshan Mountain also hangs down from the top of Taishi along the mountain gorge. Xu Xiake's amazing travels are enough to prove that he is a strange person through the ages.

After a long journey for a day, no matter how tired he was, no matter where he stayed, he would insist on recording what he saw and heard throughout the day. According to rumors, he wrote nearly 2.4 million words of travel notes.

But most of them have been lost.

What remained was compiled by his descendants, and this book is the famous Xu Xiake's Travels. The full text contains more than 400,000 words, and a full two million words are lost, which is a huge loss to the scientific and literary circles.

Picking up this slightly yellowed thread-bound book, Fang You looked at it carefully. In the center of the cover, the five characters "Xu Xiake's Travels" jumped up, and at the bottom was "Xu Hongzu", but the most important year of publication was not written.

"Brother You, are you holding it upside down? Why is the book opened on the left? You should be doing it the other way around. The cover of this book is at the bottom. It's so strange." Looking at the book in Fang You's hand , Wang Hao was very strange.

Books are usually opened to the left, but judging from the position of the cover of this book, it is meant to be opened to the right.

Fang You glanced at Wang Hao helplessly, "Mouse, the writing method of these ancient people is different from ours. They wrote from top to bottom and from right to left. There is a big gap with us now."

"Haha, Xiaoyou Fang is very knowledgeable and talented. Before the invention of papermaking, the ancients used to write on bamboo slips. The bamboo slips were piece by piece and could only be written from top to bottom. Therefore, the ancients gradually developed a different writing habit from modern times. ." Mr. Li glanced at Fang You in surprise, and then added with a smile.

Although Fang You said this, when he opened it, he habitually turned it to the left. Instead, he smiled bitterly and opened the book cover to the right. The first line read Xu Xiake's Travel Notes Volume 1, and the fourth line read "Travel Notes of Xu Xiake". Tiantai Mountain Diary.

Fang You can still understand that Xu Hongzu of Jiangsu Province is written on the second line. Xu Xiake, courtesy name Hongzu, was from Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province. However, in addition to the year, there is an unfamiliar name on the third line, which is the 30th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. In the year of 1949, Mao Jinzi of Jigu Pavilion.

Fang You took a deep breath. Sure enough, the book was from the Ming Dynasty, but the words at the end made him a little confused.

"Mr. Li, look at what this line means." After reading it a few times, Fang You became more and more confused, and then took the book to Mr. Li who was standing aside.

Mr. Li looked at the words above, smiled and said: "The most glorious period of ancient China's printing industry was in the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the publishers included government merchants and private merchants. The official merchants included the Imperial College and local institutions at all levels, while the private publishing industry There are many more, among which Mao Jin and the Jigu Pavilion he founded are the most famous. He has carved more than 600 kinds of books. Mao Jin has carved the most books among the people in the past dynasties. He also likes to copy some rare books. His writing is excellent, and later generations are called 'Mao Chao' is highly valued by collectors of ancient books."

"Mr. Li, what does the word Zi mean?" After understanding the meaning of Jiguge and Mao Jin, Fang You pointed to the last word Zi and said, he never expected that Mao Jin was a private publisher. Mao Jin was from the Ming Dynasty. Since this book contains spiritual energy, it can be said that it is also from the Ming Dynasty.

Listening to Mr. Li's words, Fatty Liu's expression became even more pitiful. Jigu Ge Mao Jin, he had received this book with great difficulty and regarded it as a treasure. Unexpectedly, he lost to a young boy, Fatty Liu. Some of them were about to cry, and they even had the idea of ​​telling Mr. Li to stop talking, because he wanted to feel more uncomfortable.

"The word zi in ancient times means engraving or sealing, which means that this book was written by Mao Jin. Judging from the handwriting and paper, it is undoubtedly from the Ming Dynasty. If anyone knows who Mao Jin is, it will definitely be It is an artifact with a large door, but if you don’t know Mao Jin, then this artifact can only be regarded as an ancient book that has not been authenticated at best. Fatty Liu, you are really full of tricks." Mr. Li said with a smile, and then continued He glanced at Fatty Liu.

Fatty Liu grimaced, bowed his hands to Mr. Li, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Old man, please stop teasing me, haven't I already given up?"

"Haha, I said that as soon as the little wanderer comes out, he will definitely find the real thing." Wang Hao clapped his hands and laughed, and his tense nerves relaxed. Fatty Liu was so bullying, and they finally got angry.

Mr. Li gloated and smiled, "Fat Liu, you have been taking advantage all your life, and you are going to suffer a big loss this time."

"Oh, if I had known this, why bother? Brother Fang's eyesight is indeed very strong. There are so many high imitation things in my antique shop that didn't fool him. Brother Fang, I really want this ancient jade of yours.

, how about you make a price and give it to me." Fatty Liu sighed, looked at Fang You with admiration, and then took out the Warring States jade pendant that he had already regarded as his own from his arms, feeling a little dissatisfied.

You said to the other party.

Without any hesitation, Fang You shook his head resolutely. This jade pendant is a life-saving thing for him. If he sells it here, he may be buried alive one day and it will be his own fault. "Shopkeeper Liu, this item will not be sold."

Yes, don’t bother."

"I said Fatty Liu, should we choose the reward? The ones in the wooden box also count, that's what you said." Seeing Fatty Liu just talking and not mentioning this matter at all, Wang Hao spoke up.

Fatty Liu looked a little disappointed. He had held this event for nearly a year, and no one could find the genuine item from him. Every time it was not a fixed genuine item, he would change it. Unexpectedly, a young man

If you are not greedy, you will not suffer such a big loss.

"Don't worry, although I, Fatty Liu, like to take advantage of me, I will never break my promise. This rare ancient book from the Ming Dynasty is also yours. In addition, in my antique shop, including the wooden box, you can choose three pieces as rewards.

.”

Wang Hao became happy and ran to Fang You excitedly, "Brother You, what do you think we should pick? How about we pick everything in the wooden box."

Fang You smiled helplessly and said casually: "It's up to you. You can pick whatever you like. Anyway, this is your bet. I'm just helping you." He didn't care about the things in the wooden box at all.

I didn't take it seriously, they were just ordinary items. I believe Fatty Liu still had some stuff at the bottom of the box that he hadn't taken out yet.

Looking at Wang Hao who was running away to pick something up, Liu Jingjing twisted his ear with one hand and pulled him back, "Fang You spent so much effort to find the real thing. You kid is greedy for credit."

You're just greedy, why should I fall in love with you, a person who doesn't care about your will?"

"I was wrong, Jingjing, don't twist it, it hurts." Wang Hao covered his ears and kept screaming in pain. He hurriedly ran to the wooden box, kept the copper Buddha statue, and took two pieces of porcelain and

The scrolls were all placed in front of Fang You, "Brother You, here, this is your trophy, take it."

Fang You smiled and gently raised the book in his hand, "Just give me this copy of Xu Xiake's Travel Notes. You can play with the rest. Miss Liu, this guy has also contributed, so don't

It’s embarrassing for him.”

Looking at Liu Jingjing, Wang Hao happily placed the three things on the table, "Come on, Boss Liu, wrap them up for me."

Bang, Wang Hao covered his head and looked at Liu Jingjing with a resentful look on his face. Everyone was laughing from ear to ear.

Ye Yuqing's eyes were opened a bit, as she witnessed a turbulent antique treasure hunt. Fang You, who had no hope at first, unexpectedly made a crazy turn, which really shocked her. What surprised her even more was that she had no hope with him.

While Mr. Li and Fatty Liu were chatting and laughing, Fang You didn't have any hindrance at all. Everything was done with ease, and she had never even heard of some antique knowledge.

In other places, maybe she is like the moon in the dark night, always the object of others' attention, but here, she has a feeling of being ignored, as if she is just like the people A, B, C and D on the roadside, whether they are there or not is the same.

.

After a while, she smiled softly, with a look of schadenfreude in her eyes. Maybe this was the first time her father had seen the wrong person.

"Okay, Boss Liu, stop crying like a Bai Wuchang. Give me your phone number and I'll treat you to a nice drink some other time." Seeing Fatty Liu's bitter face that looked like a dead person, Wang Hao

He said very proudly.

Fatty Liu's eyes lit up, "Good wine, what brand is it?" Looking at Wang Hao's nouveau riche look, he lowered his head again, "Forget it, you look like a kid who doesn't even understand antiques.

You know it’s some bad brand of wine.”

"Hey, when you see it, don't be shocked." Wang Hao wrote down Fatty Liu's phone number and smiled mysteriously.

Li Laowei smiled and didn't take it to heart at all. He just said casually, "If you have good wine, don't forget me, old man."
