After Mr. Peng confirmed the authenticity of the Yuan blue and white fragments, I took a can of good tea from my mother's unit and brewed a glass of water for him, "Uncle Peng, that's what I think. I'm a little tight now and I don't have the money to repair porcelain. Our Hanhai auction should have a special restoration expert. Can you tell me if you can ask them to glue the Yuan blue and white fragments intact, and then deduct this part from the auction after the auction? Uh, I don't know if it's up to the rules?"

"What you said is not a problem." Mr. Peng held the cup and sipped the tea, frowned and looked at the porcelain piece: "But you have lost the bottom of the piece. Without it, even if it is repaired, this Yuan blue and white can is not valuable."

I said, "Don't worry, this is enough, I will give it to you tomorrow or the next day."

"Train for two more days? The time is too tight, and we have to consider the promotion and repair. And if you don't bring the bottom and we have already advertised, it will hurt our company's reputation." After a while, seeing that there is still no result, Mr. Peng called back to the company and asked, as if he was communicating with his superiors. Five minutes later, he looked at me seriously: "I just asked, and the person in charge said that we can help you repair the porcelain first, and the promotional advertisement can also be carried out immediately, but for insurance, we must add an additional fee to the contract. If you cannot provide Yuan blue and white bottom before the auction and then cannot be auctioned, then you have to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages. Moreover, considering the repair fee, avoid failure. The starting price of Yuan blue and white cans will not be too high. You'd better be mentally prepared for this."

After hesitating for a moment, I nodded slowly: "Okay, please draft the contract." I naturally don't worry about the basics. I took a step back and said that even if I can't make 60,000 yuan in a short period of time, can't I borrow it? Besides, the starting price is lower, which does not mean that the price of the hammer is also low, and there is no necessary connection between the two.

About three hours later, I picked up the signing pen and signed the name on the contract Mr. Peng received from the headquarters. The fragments of Yuan blue and white were also transported back to repair.

Next, all I have to do is to raise money.

The next day, I went to Panjiayuan Fresh Goods Market, Beijing Antique City and Chengnan Fresh Goods Market respectively, looking for opportunities aimlessly, but without the memory of my previous life as a barrier, with my eyesight, it was difficult to pick up real things from the vast imitation. I returned home without help, and I smiled helplessly and began to think about who to borrow money from. Where is my parents? No, first, my father explicitly prohibited me from touching antiques, and second, 60,000 yuan is not a small amount, and my family may not have that much deposit. I borrowed it from my waist? It is not possible, his parents will not agree.

In my few circles of friends, it seems that Jiang Yan is the only one left.

By chance, I just took out my cell phone, but saw three missed calls on it, all of which belonged to Jiang Yan. Maybe it was because I was too messy when I was shopping in the antique market and didn’t hear it. I called back and forth, “Hey, are there any trouble to look for me?”

"Oh, Mirror, I asked a few guys from the school antique club to wander around Liulichang. Are you here?"

I was slightly stunned: "Mr. Xi is doing it?"

"Damn! It's not that fast. My mother went to my place today. She said she took care of my aunt, so I took the opportunity to come out and have some breathing."

"By the way, what did your aunt tell you?"

"What did you say? No?"

Huh, it's fine if there is no, I said, "Okay, then wait for me, I'll go out right away."

Jiang Yan only told me that they were in Dongliujian, and did not tell the specific location. However, Liuliujian was only a thin and long street that was facing east and west. He basically shouted loudly, and he could hear it at the beginning. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. After searching for a while, he saw Jiang Yan and his group's backs on the chaotic streets. Da Jia, Xiao Jia, Orange, Cucumber, Shen Zi'an were all there, and there was also a middle-aged man whom I had never seen before with them. After walking over and asking, he found out that the man's surname was Hao, and he was an appraisal expert from Shen Zi'an's father's company, and he was proficient in porcelain and jade.

"Uncle Hao." Jiang Yan smiled and patted my shoulder: "We are so powerful in the mirror. Last time we went to the Antique City, it was so powerful. He knew everything that experts couldn't understand, right?"

Shen Zian paused and nodded reluctantly.

I quickly waved my hand and explained: "It's not like this. I just happened to be a coincidence last time. I'm actually an amateur."

Jiang Yan cut, "What a modest thing? Don't you think the jade wool has a good eye for you? Ah? By the way, after gambling on stones, did you say you would treat us to a meal?"

"Uh, I'm irresponsible, I'll forget if you don't mention it. Please, please treat everyone to dinner tonight." After talking these days, I really forgot a lot of things. Although I don't have much money, I have to do what I said and honesty cannot be lost.

Jiang Yan touched her stomach embarrassedly: "Hehe, actually, we have been shopping for a long time and haven't eaten lunch."

Orange and cucumber said in unison: "I'm hungry, too."

At Jiang Yan's suggestion, we went to the Huguang Association in Hufangqiao. This was the original Beijing office. There was a restaurant outside and a theater inside. During festivals, we not only had programs such as Sanxian Xiaoqu, but also listened to a few crosstalks. It was a pretty good place. We ordered food and had dinner. Later, we saw that everyone was about to finish eating, so I came to the service desk to check out. Who would have thought that the waiter had already paid the money and secretly pointed at Jiang Yan's side.

I immediately smiled bitterly and went back to ask her: "I promised that I would invite you, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yan waved her hand carelessly: "The wool materials also make money from my family. Who is inviting them? Come and eat quickly. After eating, let's go to Dahongmen Bird Market. Humph, I really don't believe in evil. If I don't receive goods and I won't go home." After that, she smiled and looked at Uncle Hao: "You are in charge, and I will have to help me with the staff later."

Uncle Hao shook his head and laughed: "Look, your dad's little money will sooner or later be ruined by you, haha..."

"Damn! I'm making money for him!"

During the meal, I wanted to open my mouth and ask Jiang Yan about borrowing money several times, but in the end I couldn't speak.

Alas, it’s ultimately impossible to hide your face.

On the bus heading to Dahongmen, I glanced at Jiang Yan's side face, and still hesitated in my heart whether to stretch out my hand to her and ask about the woman to borrow money? Isn't it a bit inappropriate? But if I don't borrow, where can I get 60,000 yuan?

A penny will stump the hero, let alone tens of thousands of dollars.

I sighed secretly, it would be great if I had given me another month. In a few months, the "Cizhou Kiln" that appeared in the Beijing Antique City will definitely solve my urgent problem.
