Old man Lei didn't have Xu Jiuzhao's mind to find out, he was anxious: "Why can't you be sure, this thing of mine has been in my house for decades, it's definitely an old thing!"

Jiang Xin smiled and said: "Don't worry, do you have any other things in your house, as long as the things are old enough and up to date, anything is fine."

The old man Lei looked at him suspiciously. Seeing that the business was really about to fail, he rummaged through the house in a panic.

Xu Jiuzhao looked around, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong. There was doubt in his heart, and the eyes came out, and they floated on Jiang Xin's face unconsciously.

Seeing his round eyes looking at her in confusion, Jiang Xin couldn't help feeling happy, and leaned over in a low voice and said, "I'll go out and talk to you later."

He leaned over abruptly, and the warmth of the human body rushed over to the mask. Xu Jiuzhao's uncomfortably hot face heated up, and he took a small step back: "Yeah."

The old man Lei acted a little hastily. While searching, he knocked over a box containing candy melon seeds. Within a few months after the Chinese New Year, the contents inside were probably leftovers, scattered all over the floor.

Jiang Xin frowned, and said, "Don't worry, look for it slowly. I'll clean it up for you, you look for it first."

The old man Lei looked back, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the big house first, I remember there is an old cigarette holder."

"Not busy." Xu Jiuzhao squatted down and picked it up bit by bit.Jiang Xin also squatted down now, Xu Jiuzhao turned to look at the old man walking away, and said in a low voice: "Now you can tell me, what's wrong with that thing?"

Jiang Xin looked up at him, smiled and said, "What do you think, tell me."

Xu Jiuzhao thought for a while and said: "The statue is indeed made of red copper and gilt, and the style is also a popular style in the Ming Dynasty. There is nothing wrong with the proportions."

Jiang Xin snorted, and said: "You see this from the outside appearance, the most important thing is that you overlooked one point. This thing is a recent imitation, with a layer of stealth on it, which was passed down from the Ming Dynasty. , there should be a layer of paste on the outside, right? What do you think.” Jiang Xin put the last handful of melon seeds in, closed the lid, and took a look at the begonia-shaped nine-compartment sugar box with both hands.

Only then did Xu Jiuzhao suddenly realize that he had ignored this.

When he sees things from the Ming Dynasty, he always subconsciously judges them with his eyes at the time, but ignores things that have been handed down for hundreds of years. How could there be such a layer of fluorescence?

Xu Jiuzhao bit his lip in frustration, and said in a low voice, "I didn't really look in the direction of Antique, but..."

The corner of Jiang Xin's mouth curled up and said, "I know you are a great artist, so when you look at things, you naturally look at them from the perspective of handicrafts."

Is this mocking him?Xu Jiuzhao glared at him dissatisfied.

Jiang Xin smiled and said: "I'm not kidding you, you don't see much, you will naturally gain experience if you see a lot. Moreover, if the red copper and gilt statues are really old things, he dares to run out to find things like this ?” He raised his hand and put the candy box on the table beside him, and the gold-plated statue that Old Man Lei regarded as his treasure was laid there carelessly, without covering it or taking it away.

Xu Jiuzhao lowered his eyes. After all, he is specialized in art. He also looked at antiques back then, so why can't he tell them apart now.Of course, at this moment, he has already ignored the fact that all he was looking at was porcelain.

"Look, does this work?" Old man Lei walked in wrapped in the cold wind.

Jiang Xin put the candy box in his hands aside, put on his gloves and reached out to take Old Man Lei's cigarette stick.

The old man Lei looked at Jiang Xin's critical eyes, and said embarrassedly: "This thing is really old. I saw my grandfather smoke it when I was young."

Jiang Xin held the old cigarette rod in front of her eyes and looked at it from different angles. The appearance of the old cigarette rod was not very good, but other than that, it was really an old thing.

The rod, which appears to be a dark colour, is actually sterling silver, decorated with black cloisonné enamel.This enamel shows dark engraving for texture, and finally enamel firing.The flowers are decorated on the top of the enamel, and there are also the words "I still express my feelings freely", and there are even the words "Jiaxu" on the bottom.The cigarette holder was polished and looked like emerald, but it didn't know how to maintain it, so one end was shiny and the other was dusty.

Jiang Xin preliminarily judged that this should be a tobacco pipe made in Jiaqing in 19 years.

There was really no sign of satisfaction on Jiang Xin's face, which made Old Man Lei feel embarrassed.He also knew that the things in his home were not very good. Although it was an old thing, it also depended on what it was and how well it was preserved.

Jiang Xin reluctantly said: "It is indeed an old thing, but it is too obsolete. If you don't clean it up, you won't be able to see people."

The old man Lei was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "You guys are doing big business, so you can clean it up when the time comes, and you can still make money if you sell it."

Jiang Xin was noncommittal, raised his eyes and said, "No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. You can make a price."

This is the intention to trade.The old man Lei smiled happily, and then he was embarrassed about what price to pay.

If there is too much, I dare not say, if there is too little, I will panic.

After hesitating again and again, old man Lei stretched out his hand: "5000."

Jiang Xin said calmly, "2000. Go back and pack it up. I might not even be able to sell it for a high price of 5000."

Old man Lei began to sweat on his forehead, and said with all his strength: "No matter how you look at it, the workmanship of this thing looks good. The value of handwork alone is more than 2000."

Jiang Xin shook the old tobacco rod in his hand and said: "The workmanship is good, but it also depends on the appearance. This is not handed down as an ornamental collection, but left after it is used as a daily necessities. It is very worn and the price is natural. Discount."

The old man Lei knew that what Jiang Xin said was reasonable, but the reluctance in his heart made him unwilling to let go. He gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I will give in, 4000."

Jiang Xin raised her eyebrows, and looked at old man Lei fixedly.

Old Man Lei's pressure suddenly increased, and Jiang Xin took a slow breath. In the quiet room, the sound of breathing also made people nervous.

Jiang Xin glanced around the room and said: "3500, and I also want the other two old things in your room."

The old man Lei was surprised, and followed his eyes around the room. What other old things could catch the boss's eyes?

Jiang Xin raised her hand and gestured towards the table with the gilded statues: "Your table is old furniture from the Republic of China. Although there are some wear and tear, the material is not bad. Go back and repair it with your hands. , but it can be sold for a price.”

This was an unexpected surprise. The old man Lei looked at the pitch-black table, and he really didn't expect that it would have value other than chopping firewood.

"That's fine, I'll give you the table too..." Old man Lei pondered for a moment, then said, "It's 800 for you."

Jiang Xin nodded casually and said: "The market for old furniture has been relatively hot in the past two years, and this price is at least a little bit more profitable than this old tobacco rod."

Old man Lei grinned happily, then looked carefully at Jiang Xin and said, "You said there is another old object, which one is it?"

Jiang Xin seemed to be hesitant and disgusted, and then said: "The candy box you put the candied melon seeds in is also an old one, but which one looks worse. I'll give you 200, and you don't think it's too little."

The old man Lei looked at the black candy box, which was even more dirty and unrecognizable. This thing is indeed old, and he has used it since he was a child.

"Okay, that's 200 + 800 + 3500..." The old man Lei was still doing the calculations over there, but Jiang Xin said directly: "The total is 4500 yuan. I don't have that much cash with me. Do you have a bank card account?"

The old man Lei nodded his head, and said, "Yes, yes." Then he reported a series of numbers very fluently.

Jiang Xin nodded, and then made a phone call. Not long after, old man Lei heard a loud text message.

Xu Jiuzhao watched in amazement as the old man Lei took out a mobile phone from his pocket, opened the text message and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's in the account."

Jiang Xin said: "That's fine, we can't take this table away today, so let's put it here for one night, and I'll find a car to get it tomorrow morning."

Old man Lei nodded, Jiang Xin's business was completed, so he didn't want to wait any longer.The old man Lei gave him a large black plastic bag, and put the old tobacco rod and the cleaned candy box together. Jiang Xin took it and left Lei's house with Xu Jiuzhao.

After coming out, Xu Jiuzhao had a complicated face, Jiang Xin asked him strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Jiuzhao said slowly: "I didn't expect that old man to be able to recite the bank account number so slippery."

He has not been able to memorize his bank account number until now, Xu Jiuzhao is not very sensitive to numbers, so far he has only memorized his ID number and mobile phone number.

Jiang Xin laughed and said: "He may have recited it in his heart many times, just waiting for this moment to fall out, of course he will not lose the chain at a critical moment."

Xu Jiuzhao looked at him strangely, Jiang Xin smiled mysteriously and waited until the two had walked far enough before he whispered: "Do you really think that the actual situation of this family is the same as what he said? This old man, acting skills Comparable to movie king level!"

Xu Jiuzhao's eyes widened in surprise, what does this mean?
