Quick Wear: I am the shopkeeper at the Merit Pawn Shop

After this incident, Shen Mo has become famous locally in the field of antique furniture appraisal.

Many people come here to pay Shen Mo to appraise antiques.

Therefore, Shen Mo vacated the first floor of his house, opened an antique shop, and even went through the formalities of applying for a business license.

However, the style inside is more like a teahouse for receiving guests.

Originally, Shen Mo's home was an antique house, and all the furniture in the house was purchased. Since people in this industry like to make and drink tea, Shen Mo also arranged a set of tea sets in a proper manner.

As for the plaque, Shen Mo placed it in a conspicuous place in the antique shop.

On the opening day, many colleagues came to show their support.

On that day, an old man with gray hair and wearing a Zhongshan suit walked in and couldn't take his eyes off the plaque.

Shen Mo didn't know this person. He asked this person to come over. He was the person who almost bought the set of fake Ming Dynasty tables and chairs. Kang Chaosheng was sincerely grateful to Shen Mo.

If it weren't for Shen Mo, he would have been so attracted by that set of furniture and would have definitely spent a lot of money to buy it.

If you buy it, although the Qing Dynasty fakes can be considered antiques, the price is far different from that of real Ming Dynasty furniture.

"Shen Mo, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Jiang Nan. He is the director of the cultural center."

"Brother Nan, this is the young man Shen Mo whom I mentioned to you before. Although he is young, he is very good at identifying antique furniture."

"Hello, Director Jiang." Shen Mo smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello." Jiang Nan extended his hand and nodded to Shen Mo. "You are really young and promising!"

"I don't think so. I'm only a little interested in wood. I don't know anything else."

"Can I see this plaque?" Jiang Nan raised his cane and pointed at the plaque.

Shen Mo nodded, took a ladder, and together with Jin Qiang, took the plaque down from the wall.

Jiang Nan just frowned at first, but when he saw the sea chart behind the plaque, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He took out his gloves and carefully stroked the nautical chart.

Jin Qiang came to Shen Mo's ear and said, "Is it necessary to be so cautious? You even need gloves to touch it. If he knew that we have peeled off several layers of skin from this plaque, would he be furious?"

The layers of skin that Jin Qiang mentioned were of course the paint. You have to know that in order to reveal the true appearance of the plaque, Shen Mo and Jin Qiang spent a lot of effort to clean it.

"Stop talking nonsense and go entertain the guests."

"Yes, yes, yes." Jin Qiang walked away with a grin.

During this period, as Shen Mo's reputation spread, both buying and selling went very smoothly.

Many times, they don't need to go to the countryside to collect the fruits. Some people who specialize in going to the countryside will come and ask them to collect the fruits.

Shen Mo also helps people with identification, which also brings in a considerable amount of income.

At first, Shen Mo helped people to assess this part of the expenses. Jin Qiang felt that he could not get involved and said he did not want this part of the profit no matter what.

But Shen Mo insisted, and in the end, he was given a portion of Shen Mo's money as a share of the store's profit.

The money he invested has already been recovered.

When the opening ceremony was over, all colleagues left and only Kang Chaosheng and Jiang Nan stayed.

"Brother Shen, I am very interested in your plaque. I believe you can see that this plaque has great research value. I wonder if you can give it up?"

"I have nothing difficult to sell when I open my business. The price is right, and I only have one request."

"You said."

"This was the request of the original owner of the plaque. She said that the plaque could not be sold to overseas people. She wanted to keep the plaque in the country."

Shen Mo took a sip of tea and looked at Jiang Nan.

"It seems that he is a patriot. Don't worry, I am organizing a charity. When the time comes, you only need to present this plaque. At that time, all the antiques obtained will be donated to our cultural center. And you will also get what you need."

Shen Mo's eyes lit up. He didn't expect there was such an operation.

"There is no other way. The country does not encourage the purchase of these antiques, but some of them are of great research value, and we don't want these things to flow overseas, so there is such a charity, so that patriotic people can donate their love to the country, and you can get what you need without any loss." Jiang Nan smiled slightly.

“This is also a good idea.”

The charity event was held a week later, and Shen Mo went there with Jin Qiang.

During this process, Jiang Nan also invited Shen Mo several times to help identify the items.

After all, this is going to be exhibited in the cultural center. It would be embarrassing if I took a picture of a fake.

Shen Mo did not disappoint. There were several pieces of antique wood that even Jiang Nan could not see through, but Shen Mo was able to determine the age.

There is one rosewood sculpture in particular. Everyone who sees it thinks it is a statue of the Goddess of Wealth.

There are many statues of the God of Wealth, but very few statues of the Goddess of Wealth. In the end, Shen Mo concluded that it was not the Goddess of Wealth. He confirmed that it was a statue of Mazu.

Although their place is by the sea, there is no tradition of worshiping Mazu. However, this Mazu statue forces us to overturn previous statements. Perhaps they once had a tradition of worshiping Mazu, which is extremely meaningful for studying folk customs.

This incident made Shen Mo's reputation even worse.

Charity event, in the end Shen Mo's plaque was auctioned for a high price of 350,000. This was mainly because the words on Shen Mo's plaque were written in pure gold, and they were made of real gold.

Shen Mo donated 150,000 yuan to the cultural center.

Although he felt heartbroken, Shen Mo knew the importance of connections in this industry.

Afterwards, he gave Jiang Nan a set of purple clay tea sets as a thank you gift.

With Jiang Nan's connections, he had no worries about not being able to sell the antique furniture he received.

With the accumulation during this period of time, Shen Mo's net worth increased from 100,000 yuan to 1 million yuan in a short period of time.

As for Shen Xian and Shen Yu, they have undergone visible changes in the past six months. They are no longer as timid as they were when they first came to the county.

His grades also improved by leaps and bounds, from being at the bottom of the class to being among the top students in his grade.

At every parent-teacher meeting, Shen Mo had a sense of déjà vu as an old father.

That day, Shen Mo and his brother and sister had dinner together. Suddenly, Shen Yu looked up:

"Brother, Shen Meina and Shen Zongming have transferred to our school."

"What?" Shen Mo was stunned for a moment.

In the half year since he moved to the county, he almost forgot about these two people. Now that his sister mentioned them, he remembered these two people.

Especially Shen Meina who has the system. A sneer appeared on his face. Can't wait to suck the luck of them?

"How did they transfer schools? Where do they live? Do they rent a house?" Shen Mo knew that it was not easy to transfer schools.

Moreover, this didn't happen in the previous life. Could it be that because they were transferred to the county, Shen Meina was unwilling to not absorb their family's luck points, so she found a way to come to the county?
