After lunch, everyone chatted at Huang's house for a long time before leaving. Professor Han was idle and went to Shulong's shop with Pei Miao to take a look.

Shulong didn't expect that Professor Han would suddenly arrive and was so happy that he moved a stool and boiled water to make tea. He was as busy as a top.

Professor Han was very satisfied with the performance of Shulong's diligent performance. He was wearing everything but flattering. The ancients' words really made sense.

When Shulong learned that Professor Han was going to his shop for a year, he was so happy that he never dreamed that he could invite a big shot like Professor Han to do it. In his mind, Professor Han was an expert, but he didn't expect Pei Miao to invite him.

Shulong also brought good news to Pei Miao. Old Li next door had already agreed to transfer the store. He bargained with Old Li, and finally the transaction was 2.4 million yuan, saving 600,000 yuan from the budget. He only waited for the money to sign the contract as soon as it arrived.

Pei Miao was overjoyed when he heard this. He asked Shulong to draw up a contract immediately, and then went to the next door to find Lao Li to sign the contract. After signing the contract, he first counted Lao Li's accounts and goods. After confirming that there was no problem, he first moved away the most valuable ancient jade artifacts in Lao Li's store so that he would not make any trouble. Lao Li agreed to pack up his personal belongings today. After closing in the evening, he would hand over the key to Pei Miao and would not come tomorrow.

Pei Miao reminded Shulong that if the store expands, he should go to the relevant departments to re-register, so that all departments will come to him. If trouble is made, Shulong will naturally know the pros and cons and nod frequently.

Professor Han saw Pei Miaohao's store opposite him with his own eyes, and also listened to Pei Miao's future plans. He really looked at Pei Miao with admiration. Now he also has a lot of confidence in this antique shop.

At 4:30 in the evening, Lao Li next door came over and asked Pei Miao and Shulong to go over, count the goods again, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned on the key. After handing over the key, Lao Li took out a small notebook from his arms and handed it to Shulong, and said, "Come on, Xiaoshu, this is for you. This is my old customers, you have already collected it."

Shulong took it in surprise when he heard this, and looked through it. All the customers were recorded. Shulong said happily: "Uncle Li, you are so reliable!"

"I'm still called me uncle, I'm not a few years younger than your grandfather." Old Li smiled and looked around his eyes. He seemed to be reluctant to leave. "I opened the store mainly for the sake of making a living. I suffered a lot of hardships, suffered a lot of guilt, and cheated. No matter how hard it is, I have survived. Thirty years, it's gone by in a blink of an eye. This store has been with me for thirty years. Now it's ready, I'm selling it."

Shulong couldn't help but say, "Uncle Li, you have so many stories."

"Who hasn't mentioned the story yet?" Old Li smiled indifferently and said, "Although I can't bear it, this shop is really not open anymore. My body can't bear it anymore. My leg was injured. Now that I'm old, I'm starting to cause trouble. I have to treat and rest every year. Fortunately, both children have grown up and have their own family and career. Everything is very fulfilling. I have to thank you. I'll give me such a high price in the end. Xiaoshu, although you haven't been here for a long time, I'm very optimistic about you. You have a good personality, kindness, and are particularly eager to learn and motivate. If you work hard, you will definitely achieve something in the future."

"Thank you, Uncle Li!" Shulong was very happy when Old Li praised him.

Since the tenant changed, Lao Li contacted the landlord to handle the sublease. Lao Li meant that he would not want the rent, so he would give it to Pei Miao and the others together.

The landlord happened to be the landlord of Shulong Store, so he was easy to talk to, so he drafted a contract with Shulong again.

Pei Miao wanted to buy both stores, so he asked the landlord: "Mr. Gao, how much did you buy these two stores... in the first place?"

Mr. Gao, the landlord, said: "If the two add up... it will cost almost 4 million yuan."

Pei Miao was happy when he heard this and asked, "Can you sell it?"

"Do you want to buy it?" Mr. Gao glanced at Pei Miao in surprise.

Pei Miao nodded.

Mr. Gao thought for a while and said, "Two millions will be taken away."

Pei Miao was stunned when he heard this. The price was different...one was at the bottom of the sea and the other was at the clouds.

Seeing Pei Miao's expression, the landlord couldn't help but smile and said, "The real estate is just like this, it's rising rapidly. You can't just look at the price of that year."

Pei Miao thought to himself that the two stores were only more than 70 square meters in total. Including the second floor area, it was at most 150 square meters. On average, the price of one square meter was nearly 100,000, which Pei Miao could not accept.

Pei Miao gave up the idea of ​​buying a store, and the landlord signed a rental contract with Shulong again, and then drove away in his gray-old Chevrolet.

When he returned to Jubaozhai, Professor Han was still drinking tea. When he saw them coming back, Professor Han said, "Shulong, Pei Miao and I are going to visit the antique night market in Confucius Temple tonight and go with us."

"Okay." Shulong said happily when he heard this, "Maybe we can buy some goods back."

Seeing that Shulong agreed, Professor Han said, "It's still early, so I'll take a look at the antique market here. Let's have a meal together in the evening and go there together after dinner."

The Shulong nodded: "Okay, Professor, I wish you a big gap."

"You guy, you just talk like a likable person." Professor Han walked out of the store with a smile.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It was getting late, and Professor Han returned to Shulong Store. He didn't find a vacancy, but bought two small items. One was a wine glass of the official kiln pastel porcelain in the Jiaqing period. Unfortunately, there were two small cracks on the surface, and the other was a copper lock from the Jiaqing period. The lock was very good in shape and was engraved with Pixiu. It might be a lock of the ancient money warehouse. Unfortunately, it was not well preserved. There were many bump marks on the surface, which were quite deep and the lock handle was broken.

Although he didn't find a hole, Professor Han was still very happy because he had his own skills and repairs. He could repair these broken things. Although he could not achieve the original value after repair, it was far from comparable to the broken appearance now.

When Shulong saw Professor Han come back, he took out his mobile phone to order takeout. Professor Han reminded: "I have a friend to come, order four people. By the way, order a salted duck from Hongji, the Ministry of Housing Street."

"Okay!" Shulong picked up his phone and poked it, ordering the takeaway.

As soon as the takeaway was delivered, they had not had time to unpack the packaging bags when they got it on the table. A man in gray-white Tang suit walked in and saw that the man was in his fifties, with a little gray temple, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair was neatly combed.

Pei Miao and Shulong were stunned when they saw the visitor, and then they said in unison: "Teacher Xu Hongchang?"

Xu Hongchang, one of the treasure appraisal experts on the weekly treasure appraisal program of Suzhou Satellite TV, appears on TV every Saturday and Sunday to appraise treasure for the audience. He is also an appraisal expert at the Soviet Museum. In the antiques business, he is definitely a star in Suzhou. Pei Miao and Shulong often watch treasure appraisal programs, so he naturally recognizes him at a glance.

"Hello, Oh, Lao Han, you are ready to start eating." Xu Hongchang walked over with a smile.

"Teacher Xu, please sit down." Shulong and Pei Miao saw it. It turned out that the friend Professor Han invited was Xu Hongchang, so they quickly moved a stool for Xu Hongchang.

"Thank you." Xu Hongchang took the stool and sat down.

Professor Han smiled and said, "You are such a coincidence. The dish we ordered just arrived. I knew you like the duck from Hongji, Hubujie. I specially asked my students to order one for you."

"Ah, thank you very much." Xu Hongchang rubbed his hands happily when he heard this, as if he couldn't wait.

"Don't eat in a hurry. Let me introduce it first. These two are my favorite students, Pei Miao and Shulong. This store is opened by them. I'm not retired now. I plan to do some tricks in their store."

"This shop?" Xu Hongchang turned around and looked around and asked, "Is it a little smaller? Can you accommodate your big Buddha?"

Pei Miao smiled and said, "We just got off the jade shop next door today. We will prepare to clean it up tomorrow, then decorate it, open up the two shops and merge them into one."

"Oh, that's not bad." Xu Hongchang nodded slowly when he heard this.

Professor Han said again: "By the way, I'll go to the night market tonight, and they will go with us."

"Okay." Xu Hongchang said happily when he heard this, "I have always encouraged young people to come into contact with the antique industry. By the way, I have an idea. Tonight, we can lead the old and the young, divide into two groups, and then take action separately, compare and see which group gains more."

Professor Han agreed: "Okay, this is a good idea. As long as it's not like both groups have no gains, it's embarrassing."

Xu Hongchang said: "The sight is not good at night, so it's normal not to pick good things. Come on, let's eat quickly. It will take time to rush over."

"Eat and eat."

The four of them worked together to unpack the takeaway and start having supper.

It was already six o'clock after dinner, and it was already dark. The four of them were definitely grouped together. The result was Shulong and Professor Han, and Pei Miao and Xu Hongchang.

Then the four of them closed the door of the shop, got in the bus and set off, and headed to Confucius Temple.

There are few spaces available in the parking lot near Confucius Temple even at night, and they still have two cars. They waited for the parking space for half an hour. When they parked the car and walked into Confucius Temple Night Market, it was almost eight o'clock and the night market had already begun.

"Oh, there are too many people in Confucius Temple and the parking spaces are tight. It is more convenient to take the subway in the future." Professor Han said depressedly, and then said, "Let the two groups take action separately. Lao Xu, you must take Pei Miao well."

Xu Hongchang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I have a premonition that our group will win tonight."

"Take it down." Professor Han said unconvincedly, "We must win tonight."

"Let's see!" The two separated.

Xu Hongchang turned his head and waved to Pei Miao: "Xiao Pei, come with me."

"Okay." Pei Miao followed Xu Hongchang happily.
Chapter completed!
