Gu Beizhi was in the shop wiping the newly installed red-glazed porcelain vase when he heard Xiao Ding call him, "Old Gu, someone is looking for it."

"Here we come." After putting away the porcelain vase and cotton cloth, Gu Beizhi went to the door and took a look. As expected, he was from their village again.

"Brother Darong? Why are you here? Come in and talk." Gu Beizhi didn't expect that even Wang Darong would come to join in the fun, so he could only lead him into his appraisal room.

Although his appraisal room has not been changed, the place is slightly smaller than the other two appraisal rooms, but it is not bad, and later he resettled it himself.

Seeing that the space is not small at all, with two oil lamps on, the room is bright enough. Smell it carefully, and there is a faint aroma of amber mixed with the smell of cedar, which is clear and mellow.

As soon as Da Rong came in, his hands and feet were bound. This is not the place for a rough man like him to come. If he had known, he would not have come, but he was really curious about what Gu Beizhi was doing.

The villagers who have been here have said everything. Some say that Gu Beizhi is a buddy, some say that Gu Beizhi is a craftsman, and some say that Gu Beizhi specializes in chatting and drinking tea with rich young masters...

What he said was a mess, and the old village chief angrily told everyone not to spread rumors, so Da Rong took his father's order to see what Gu Beizhi does and earns so much money.

Gu Beizhi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Da Rong's words, "Brother Da Rong, do you know what Bao Yi Xuan sells?"

Da Rong also looked outside just now, but he really didn't understand. There are porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and a lot of gold and silver wares. It looks like selling groceries.

"Hahaha, Big Brother Rong, if you say that, it's actually a different kind of correctness."

Gu Beizhi almost burst into tears with a smile, "All the shops on Liujia Street sell one kind of commodity, that is, antiques, and occasionally sell literature and entertainment."

"Antiques, ancient artifacts that are cherished by people, are cultural heritage and rare items left to us by our ancestors."

"Plainly speaking, it is an old object with collection value, such as the wine pot used by the great Confucian Confucianism of the former dynasty, the paperweight handed down from the Southern Qi Dynasty, etc."

"Generally speaking, antiques are very valuable. It is possible to spend hundreds or thousands of taels of silver, or there are not a few priceless antiques, such as the dragon scale dagger that has never been dropped, and now the rewards have accumulated to ten thousand taels. Gold."

When Gu Beizhi mentioned the value, Darong was taken aback, why is it so expensive?

He couldn't help getting up cautiously, because there were several porcelain vases of different sizes on Gu Beizhi's table.

"Dalang, don't you have antiques here? Otherwise, let's go out and talk. What if it is knocked down?"

"It's okay, these are new ones, some are real and some are fake, not all of them are valuable." Gu Beizhi waved his hand.

"Look, Brother Rong, this is my job, because under normal circumstances, antiques are very valuable, so there are always people who want to confuse the real ones and sell them for a good price. In order to distinguish the real from the fake, there is our appraiser .”

"Appraisers need to have sufficient history and culture, rich experience, and excellent professional knowledge, and they cannot be hired casually."

Gu Beizhi was afraid that he would not believe it, so he turned his eyes around the museum shelf in the house, and found a small thing. He had installed a rope in the house, and he only needed to pull it twice, and the bell hanging in the lobby outside would go off. sounded.

"Old Gu, what's the matter?" Xiao Ding knocked on the door and put his head in.

"Brother Ding, please bring in the green lotus incense burner outside, I'll use it." Gu Beizhi also had an incense burner in his hand, but it was a fake, and it was really placed outside.

"Wait a minute." Little Ding went to fetch it immediately, and put it on the table together with the tray.

Gu Beizhi also put the fake one in his hand on it, "Brother Rong, take a look, do you think these two are the same?"

Da Rong didn't dare to pick it up, for fear that if he hit it accidentally, he wouldn't be able to pay for it even if it cost his life.

"Aren't they all the same?" After looking at them for a long time, he really felt that the two objects were exactly the same.

Gu Beizhi held the fake one in his hand, "But in the eyes of our appraisers, it's really quite different. Look at the color of this glaze, isn't it slightly bluer?"

He talked about the difference between the real and the fake, and Da Rong carefully compared it with the real one, but he couldn't see it at all. In the end, he could only give Gu Beizhi a thumbs up, "Da Lang is amazing, I really can't tell."

"This is my job, otherwise everyone can tell the difference, what should I do for a living?" Gu Beizhi smiled faintly, "Brother Rong, drink tea."

The tea leaves are not particularly good, and Gu Beizhi felt a bit bitter when he drank them, so he added some fruit slices to cover up the bitterness.

Da Rong couldn't tell whether the tea was good or bad, but he could tell that it had a fruity taste, so he secretly remembered that some fruit should be added to the tea.

"Well, I'll go first, and I have to go to the grocery store." Darong finished his cup of tea and said goodbye to Gu Bei.

Gu Beizhi went out with him, and locked the door after leaving the identification room. This is his habit, "Which grocery store does Brother Rong go to? Liu Ji?"

"Yes, everyone in our village loves to go to Liu Ji, and the price of Liu Ji is fair."

"Okay, Brother Rong, slow down on the road, come and chat with me when you have time." Gu Beizhi sent Da Rong away.

As soon as he turned around, seeing Jin Dacheng gave him a disdainful look, Gu Beizhi acted as if he didn't see it, not because he was weak, but because he was completely ignoring Jin Dacheng now.

Then Master Liu approached him again, and after talking with him, he realized that it was Mr. Zheng who recommended him. Mr. Liu believed in Mr. Zheng's character, and bought three pieces of jade from him.

There was only one antique, and he took a half-day off to pick out the other two with Master Liu to Yulou.

Their owner not only has an antique shop, but also a gold building and a jade building. The gold building sells jewelry, and the jade building sells jade-based utensils, including a small amount of jewelry.

Jin Dacheng took this incident and said that he was not doing his job properly, that he was not thinking about the store, and he should be fined and warned.Of course shopkeeper Du disagreed. Mr. Liu bought something from the store and went to other stores of the owner to patronize business. What a wonderful thing.

Not only should Gu Beizhi not be punished, even the half-day leave he asked for is not counted as leave. Mr. Liu is rich and powerful. If he can develop into a regular customer of Baoyixuan, it will be a great achievement. Shopkeeper Du encouraged Gu Beizhi with a smile. A few words turned Jin Dacheng's face blue with anger.

Later, Mr. Zheng came to look for the paperweight again. Now that he didn’t look for anyone else, he identified Gu Beizhi and talked to him quietly. Not long after Gu Beizhi told him the value of the Jinsiyu paperweight, Jin Dacheng went there. I'm looking for him.

Jin Dacheng was quite smart, he took a lotus-patterned red jade paperweight worth about 4000 taels, saying that he really liked the golden silk jade paperweight, and he didn't intend to sell it at first, but unexpectedly, it was bought by Mr. Zheng by accident. I bought it and bought a better one in exchange.

At that time, Mr. Zheng already knew the value of the Jinsiyu paperweight, so he put down the teacup to see off the guests without saying a word, and was too lazy to talk to Jin Dacheng.

Gu Beizhi wanted to laugh when he heard this. Didn't Jin Dacheng think everyone else was a fool?

And got a better one?

With a deeper understanding of this person's character, Gu Beizhi ignored him from then on, did not talk to him, and did not get in touch with him, which made Jin Dacheng very angry.

Mr. Zheng didn't want to save face for Jin Dacheng at all. Gradually, everyone in the store knew that Jin Dacheng took 4000 taels to find Mr. Zheng for 1 taels. Don't say that Gu Bei knows now, Xiao Ding Brother and Shuisheng also look down on Jin Dacheng.

Jin Dacheng and Gu Beizhi can be regarded as the next Liang Zi, especially now that Jin Dacheng is getting more and more unsatisfactory, so he hates Gu Beizhi more and more.

Gu Beizhi waited for the store to close, and hurried to Liu Ji's grocery store. Recently, new cotton came out, and he wanted to buy some to take home to make quilts.

There are still a few quilts at home, but Gu Beizhi always feels that they should be replaced with new ones. The previous quilts have been used for many years, and the cotton inside is all in one piece, and the distribution is uneven. Now I don’t think so in summer, but in winter The cover is definitely cold.

It would be great if you could buy enough duck down. The duvet is warm and light, and it won't feel heavy at night.

Keeping the duck down thing in mind, Gu Beizhi went to Liu Ji's grocery store, and there was indeed new cotton in it, and it looked snow-white and soft, very warm.

"Excuse me, how much is the cotton?" Gu Beizhi asked the waiter in the shop.

The Xiao Er is not very old, at most twelve or thirteen years old, but he is extremely eloquent, "There are two types of new cotton, one is such a high-quality white cotton, and the other is a little inferior. Yellow cotton, ten cents a catty."

"If you plan to make a quilt, it will cost about five catties based on a six-foot square. It is recommended to buy this kind of yellow cotton. The warmth retention is the same as that of white cotton, but it is picked later and the shape is not good. If you plan to make a jacket For clothes, cotton trousers, etc., you can buy this kind of white cotton, and more than one catty of cotton is enough for a piece of clothing."

Xiaoer pointed out another kind of slightly yellowed cotton to Gu Beizhi. Gu Beizhi compared it and found that the two kinds of cotton were indeed not too different, so he was more inclined to buy yellow cotton.

"Then I can make a decision first. Can I come and pick it up tomorrow? I don't have a basket today, so it's hard to take it back."

"We have bamboo baskets in our store. Customers can take a look. They are stronger and more durable than the ones made by ourselves. Look at the straps, whether they are wider or not, so they won't strain your back." Xiaoer took one and told him A half-height backpack, here to introduce to Gu Beizhi.

Gu Beizhi was a little moved when he saw it. He had a back basket at home, but because it had been used for a long time, the edges of the two straps had been frayed, and the body of the basket was a little torn, but it was still usable.

When Guan Zhou was free, he would go to the foot of Bijia Mountain to collect firewood with a basket on his back. He carried it back and forth every day, and looked tired.

Gu Beizhi once proposed to buy firewood from others, but Guan Zhou rejected it. He didn't think it would be tiring to collect firewood, so why waste the money.

"How much is this backpack?"

Gu Beizhi still couldn't hold back, bought a backpack and cotton, and spent all the money on his body.

"I am back."

"Hey, wash your hands, it's time to eat." Guan Zhou said without turning his head, the cabbage in the pot was green and slightly greasy, and there was a familiar smell of egg custard from the other pot.

Gu Beizhi suddenly felt that this was the taste of home.

The author has something to say: I hope that for your own safety, everyone will wash their hands frequently, take hot baths frequently, go out less, wear a mask when going out, don't panic too much, it will pass~
