Wei Shijie shook his head slightly and said, "I have seen them all. These gadgets look quite cute, but they are too small and not grand enough to display in the office."

"There is a big one." The waitress blinked her eyes and said, "There are two Taishi chairs in the Shui Tiao Ge head. Our boss said they are made of Ming Dynasty rosewood and are worth millions."

"Haha, there must have been one when I came here last time." Wei Shijie shook his head and said with a smile: "That guy is not easy to deal with. Now the decoration in the house is very fashionable. Putting two Taishi chairs in the house is too nondescript.

"

The waitress smiled: "Hehe, sir, you are so classy and classy."

"Haha, which one of Boss Lang's friends is not particular?" Wei Shijie said lightly, and then asked: "Girl, have you bought anything good recently?"

The waitress leaned close to Wei Shijie's ear and said, "I heard that a blue and white porcelain vase was recently purchased. It seems to be from the Qing Dynasty."

"Oh," Wei Shijie's eyes sparkled and he asked, "How much is the approximate price?"

The waitress pouted and shook her head, whispering: "I don't know about this."

Wei Shijie asked instead: "Girl, is your boss Long here?"

"Oh, she is out now, she should be back soon." The waitress was obviously very happy, she said with a smile: "Sir, what's your surname? I'll let you know when our boss Long comes back."

Wei Shijie pointed at Chu Tianshu and said, "Just tell Boss Long that our boss's surname is Chu, from Chu country."

"I know." The waitress quietly exited and closed the door of the box gently.

While Wei Shijie was talking to the service lady, Chu Tianshu was admiring the small antiques in the box. After the service lady went out, he asked in confusion: "Old Wei, how did you know that their boss's surname is Long?"

Wei Shijie threw the newspapers and magazines he was holding on the coffee table, smiled strangely, and said, "You forgot, I am Master Wen's apprentice, so of course I can count."

Chu Tianshu scolded: "Get out of here, don't think I didn't see it. You found out about it from the old man running the stall."

Wei Shijie scolded back: "Ci'ao, no wonder Master Wen is afraid of you, your eyes are too poisonous."

Accompanied by the melodies of the guzheng playing in the hall, Chu Tianshu and Wei Shijie chatted while drinking tea.

Wei Shijie asked: "Old Chu, you just looked at it for a long time, what did you pick up?"

Chu Tianshu glanced at the Bogu rack, shook his head, and said, "I don't understand this, and I don't have any interest in it."

Wei Shijie said: "Can you pretend to understand when you don't understand?"

Chu Tianshu glanced at Wei Shijie and said dissatisfiedly: "Old Wei, what's going on with you today? You're so talkative. Could it be that you really became Wen Jiaqi's disciple."

"Haha," Wei Shijie laughed and asked in a low voice: "Old Chu, don't you think this Longmen Inn is a little strange?"

"It's a bit strange." Chu Tianshu looked around and said, "It's a teahouse, but it looks like it sells antiques."

Wei Shijie said: "Old Chu, my original intention is not tea." As he said that, he dipped his finger in tea and wrote two words on the coffee table: "Bribery."

Chu Tianshu suddenly understood and was about to say something else when there was a knock on the door outside the box.

Wei Shijie wiped the water stains on the coffee table with a paper towel and shouted: "Come in."

The door opened a crack and a head came in. It was the same service lady just now, saying: "Sir, our boss Long is back."

"I know, go ahead and get going." Wei Shijie agreed, and the service lady retracted her head and walked away quietly.

Wei Shijie and Chu Tianshu sat down, took a relaxed posture, drank tea, and talked about the recent turbulent situation in Iraq.

After a while, there was another knock on the door.

Immediately, the door of the box opened.

Standing at the door was a woman with a beautiful figure and face. She was in her twenties or early thirties, with a graceful appearance and a smile as bright as a flower.

"I am Long Ruochen, the owner of Longmen Inn. Who is Mr. Chu?"

"Hello, Boss Long, I am." Chu Tianshu stood up.

Long Ruochen walked in, handed out business cards to Chu Tianshu and Wei Shijie, and said with a smile: "Don't call me boss, it sounds awkward. Just call me Ruochen."

"Sister Ruochen," Wei Shijie's characteristic of being good at dealing with women came into play again. He held his business card and called "sister" affectionately, immediately closing the distance. "Mr. Chu is my leader.

My surname is Wei, the guard Wei, Wei Shijie, you can call me Xiaowei or Xiaojie."

Long Ruochen smiled and said: "Haha, then I'll call you Xiaojie."

Wei Shijie said seriously: "Sister Ruochen, I'm not a stammer, I speak very fluently."

"Haha, I called you wrong, it's not Xiao Stutter, it's Xiaojie, Xiaojie." This joke made Long Ruochen laugh so hard that his branches trembled with laughter.

Wei Shijie stopped being polite and said bluntly: "Sister Ruochen, I heard from Lang Chu that you recently found a blue and white porcelain vase from the late Qing Dynasty. It's in good condition. Our leader Chu wants to see it."

He obviously heard what the waitress said, but Wei Shijie was able to say that he heard what Lang Maocai said, and he spoke it very fluently without stuttering at all.

Chu Tianshu secretly admired this move again.

Long Ruochen was stunned for a moment, then laughed again and said: "Haha, I just got it yesterday, and Leader Chu came today, so it seems that he is destined to it."

A leader has the identity of a leader and will not speak easily until the critical moment.

Chu Tianshu just smiled and nodded.

Wei Shijie said: "Sister Ruochen, can you take it to the box and have a look? If it's good, we would like to negotiate a preferential price with Sister Ruochen."

Long Ruochen said: "Of course, I will arrange for them to move."

After a while, the waitress came up with a wooden packaging box slightly larger than the red wine packaging box, and gently placed it on the coffee table.

Long Ruochen shook his head slightly, and the service lady went out.

She stretched out her slender fingers, opened the lid of the wooden box, raised her orchid fingers, and carefully tore off a lot of scraps of paper on it, then took out a blue and white porcelain vase from the wooden box, and faced it habitually.

The light shone on it, and he bent his fingers and flicked it gently.

The blue and white porcelain vase made a nice crisp sound.

Long Ruochen said: "Mr. Chu, listen to this sound, it can only be made in the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty."

Chu Tianshu shook his head honestly and said: "Sister Ruochen, I can't tell. I have to say that I know a little bit about calligraphy and painting, but I really know nothing about porcelain. However, Lang Chu recommended me, so he must be wrong.

No, but I also plan to give it away. I heard that there is a lot of knowledge in porcelain, I wonder if Sister Ruochen would be willing to give me some advice?"

Long Ruochen said: "Mr. Chu, you're welcome. I'm learning by doing, and I've only heard about it gradually."

"Haha, for us, we are still experts." Chu Tianshu said with a smile: "To be honest, there is an old leader in our city who still has some research on antiques. I also want to learn something quickly from Sister Ruochen.

Tips for getting started, just learn and sell now when you go back, just don’t show off your timidity.”

Chu Tianshu and Wei Shijie were both young, so if they said they collected them themselves, Long Ruochen would definitely not believe it. If they said they bought them back to give to their old boss, it would seem more authentic and credible.

Seeing that Chu Tianshu's words were practical and sincere, Long Ruochen did not hesitate to give him some advice: "There are many ways to identify porcelain, including classification, comparison, and screening. Let's just talk about the screening method. It depends on the shape and glaze.

Look at the craftsmanship and the decoration.

There are really many ways to look at colors, styles, etc. There is no quick way to get started. However, generally beginners can start with "looking, smelling, asking and feeling", which is similar to traditional Chinese medicine.

Somewhat similar.”

Listening to Long Ruochen's eloquent words, Chu Tianshu and Wei Shijie both pretended to be attentive.

Chu Tianshu said: "What? Chinese medicine treatment? It's interesting."

At this time, Long Ruochen's cell phone rang, and it was Lang Maocai.

Long Ruochen knew that Chu Tianshu and the others were recommended by Lang Maocai, so she didn't shy away and answered the phone directly: "Oh, boss Lang, hello, yes, I'm in the store... It's two o'clock in the afternoon.

Come here, okay, I'll be waiting for you... Well, I know, I will take good care of your friend, don't worry."

Chu Tianshu looked at Long Ruochen carefully, and when he saw her talking about "your friend", his eyes glanced at him subconsciously, and he knew in his heart that Lang Maocai should have mentioned "Mr. Chu" on the phone.

Two people.

After answering Lang Maocai's call, Long Ruochen's conversation became more interesting. She continued to teach Chu Tianshu the knowledge of porcelain appraisal: "The 'look' in 'look, smell, ask and understand' means being able to recognize light. Look at the appearance first, as things are given away.

, so we must first have a sense of beauty. Just because people like it, they will touch it and play with it often. Over time, a layer of patina will naturally form on the surface of the object, emitting a restrained precious light, making people fall in love at first sight."

Long Ruochen suddenly stopped, looked at Chu Tianshu and said, "Boss Lang called me just now and said that he would accompany two friends over at two o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Chu, are you two?"

Chu Tianshu smiled and said: "Yes, Lang Chu is too busy. There are people in the office and phone calls all the time, so he made an appointment for us to come over at two o'clock in the afternoon. We are from out of town and have no place.

Go, just come here first."

Long Ruochen said: "Haha, what do you want to eat for lunch? I will arrange it myself."

Wei Shijie said: "Sister Ruochen, I won't bother you anymore. I've already asked the girl to make arrangements. It will be delivered soon."

Long Ruochen said: "Oh, that's good. You can take a rest here at noon. If you need anything, just ask. Don't be polite."

Chu Tianshu said: "Thank you, Sister Ruochen."

"Boss Lang's friends are my friends." Long Ruochen smiled and said: "Where have we talked? Oh, we just talked about what is 'look', now let's talk about 'smell'. What is 'smell'? New

The most common way to remove the luster from the things you make is to soak it with acid, or add a small amount of alkali to tea. In this way, the surface of the utensil will look mottled and antique, but if you smell it carefully with your nose, you can smell the acid and alkali.

gas."
