antique masters in modern times

After some more discussions, finally, Uncle Chang agreed to come forward to talk to the leaders of the ironworks and replace Yan Youding with Chang Maoyun.

However, Chang Maoyun couldn't go to work immediately after being injured for a hundred days.Chang Hongsheng, who is temporarily unemployed and vagrant, who is still waiting for another factory's allocation quota, has to take over the shift until his brother recovers.

Before the house is built, Yanyou still has to temporarily live in the factory dormitory.Uncle Chang patted his chest and assured that, based on the friendship between him and the factory manager when he went to the countryside in the past, such a small matter is nothing to worry about.

As a result, everyone was happy, and the happiest person was Yan You.Although Chang Maoyun's injury made him very sorry, but from a certain point of view, he also brought the best solution to the Chang family.

At first when he first entered the ironworks, because of the few bronze mirrors, he thought that there were so many treasures in the scrap iron pile.But after actually doing it, he realized that he took it for granted.

The factory does not collect scrap iron by itself, but collects it from a special office.In other words, scrap iron has been passed through at least two or three hands and screened several times.Those who collect waste are all smart people, and they know where to sell the most profitable things.They found gold and stone devices that looked like ancient vessels, even if they sold them to antique dealers individually, it would be better than weighing them in a factory.

Even if the waste products that have been grated by the human spirits can still be picked up, the possibility is very small.The previous bronze mirror was mistook for an iron lump because it was too rusty, so it fell into his hands by chance.

Since then, after half a month of working in the factory, Yanyou Leng has never found anything of value.If he hadn't already opened up other sources of income, just pointing at the scrap iron, he doesn't know how many years it will take him to turn around.

However, although the probability is extremely low, it is still possible after all.In addition to Chang Maoyun's injury, it is equivalent to losing half of the labor force.Before leaving, Yan You couldn't help but mention something: "Brother Chang, I heard that there are good things in the scrap iron pile. If you have time, you might as well go to the library to borrow a few gold and stone illustrated books to have a look. After returning to work, if you encounter If you buy something similar, be careful and buy it, maybe it’s a treasure.”

Chang Maoyun didn't look at him, but listened very carefully: "What book should I read?"

Yanyou said without hesitation: "There are countless unofficial historical records on gold and stone devices, but if we talk about exegesis, we should recommend Song Huizong's "Xuanhe Bogutu", Lu Dalin's "Archaeological Map", and Zhao Mingcheng's "Jinshilu". These three books They were all written in the Song Dynasty, and it seems that they are old. Many people worry that it does not include the textual research on gold and stone after the Song Dynasty. But in fact, bronze wares flourished in the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and there were also flowing cups in the Qin and Han Dynasties. From the Tang Dynasty, bronze wares gradually Turning to imitation of antiques, even if there are innovations, they are only small pieces. Therefore, in general, as long as you have a thorough understanding of these three books, you can master the main system of bronze ware. Brother Chang, you are not just doing research, you just need to remember the general appearance, don’t Just let the good things slip through your hands."

The young man talks eloquently, focusing and confident, and has a different kind of charm.Chang Maoyun, who had deliberately looked away, finally couldn't help it, and stared at the young man's handsome face again.

For a moment, he had the illusion that it was within reach.

But immediately, Yan You, who finished the main point, noticed that the night fell at an unknown time, and immediately apologized: "Probably that's it. I've been bothering you for so long, I should go, otherwise grandma will be in a hurry."

"Ah, Yanzi, I'll see you off." Seeing that his brother's future has been settled, Chang Hongsheng was so happy that he didn't know what to do, and he treated Yanyou more enthusiastically than usual.

After a brief commotion, Chang Maoyun stared at the empty edge of the bed, feeling lost in his heart.

The next day, Uncle Chang took two bottles of sorghum wine brewed by his old man, together with Yan You and Chang Hongsheng, and explained his plan to his old friend.

Due to the special situation, his old friend was a tough person who was not afraid of gossip, so he made a decision on the spot and agreed to transfer Chang Maoyun's file first, and then return to work after he recovered from his injury.However, the factory director did not immediately agree to Yanyou's resignation, but tried his best to persuade him to stay, saying that there is a rare cultural person in the factory, and he wanted to polish him in a grassroots position for a year or two, and then promote him to a cadre step by step.

In his previous life, Yan You was a self-employed, free-spirited master.As a cadre, his allure is not as attractive as that of antiques.So he excused himself by saying that he still wanted to study, and that he would think about work after graduating from university.

Speaking of this, the factory manager had no choice but to give in.Immediately, the staff of the personnel department were called, in addition to handling Chang Maoyun's entry procedures, and then transferred Yanyou's file back to the street.

After such a toss, everyone in the factory knew about it.Another neighbor of Yan’s dormitory said vividly that he saw Yanyou befriend a rich and loyal friend. He not only came to visit and brought a lot of gifts, but also agreed to lend him money to repair the house.

"Why is his life so good?" Hearing what the neighbor said, a young man who was idle on weekdays muttered unconvinced: "I am stronger than him in terms of body, and I am better than him in terms of eloquence. Why is no one asking me to help practice stalls?" ?”

The neighbor laughed and scolded: "Why don't you say that you are almost ten years older than him, but you only have an elementary school degree? Why don't you say that you can't do your job alone, and you will go back and poke the basket. Your father saved half his life in the factory. Your reputation will be ruined by you."

What he said made the young man feel ashamed, so he hurriedly found an excuse to avoid it, and the cat was smoking sullenly in the corner.I was upset when suddenly a cigarette was handed over.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a cloud cigarette with a filter tip, which was many times stronger than the mouthless cigarettes he usually rolled by himself.The young man immediately turned his anger into joy, and took it without thinking.But when I looked up, I realized that the person offering cigarettes was not from the factory, but a strange bald old man with a greasy face.

Facing the suspicious gaze of the young man, the old man quickly put on a smile: "Little comrade, I am a retired worker, and I like to walk around when I have nothing to do all day. I was outside the dormitory area just now, and I heard you talking and laughing here, it was very lively. If you are curious, come in and have a look. To be honest, I love to listen to new stories in my life, can you tell me something good happened in your factory?"

Hearing this, the young man immediately became suspicious: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that this silly boy has had good luck recently."

He briefly recounted Yanyou's recent experience, and finally said indignantly: "He just relied on his luck to be better. He has no real ability. One day when the luck will turn around, I will definitely do better than him. Old comrade, what do you say?" Is this the reason?"

"Haha, that's right. The faster some people climb, the more painful it is to fall."

Although the old man had a smile on his face, his eyes were flickering, revealing a bit of murderous intent.The young man didn't realize it at all, only felt that the words hit his heart.Then the old man asked about Yan You's situation in detail, and he told everything he knew.

After a while, the old man walked out of the dormitory area of ​​the factory, looked back at a certain room on the third floor, and spat on the ground: "My surname is Yan, your good days are coming to an end!"
