treasure hunter

Seeing the rice bowl in front of him, the rice piled up like a hill, Pei Miao smiled dryly, "Master, this rice feast seems unlucky. In my house, only those who offer sacrifices will Put the rice bowl on a sharp point, and insert the chopsticks."

"If you say that, it's really the case." Ye Lao hurriedly said to the nanny, "Xiao Liu, scoop out some of the rice in the bowl for him, and it's enough to be even with the mouth of the bowl."

Pei Miao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and secretly raised his eyebrows at Ye Xiangnan, as if showing off with pride: "Look at how smart I am."

Ye Xiangnan shook his head and sighed softly: "Uncle, you are still too young."

As soon as the words fell, I heard Ye Lao said: "When he finishes eating, give him another bowl."

Pei Miao's smile froze on his face, this time it was Ye Xiangnan's turn to raise his eyebrows, that expression was clearly gloating.

Ye Lao usually eats and rarely speaks, because he has been educating his children and grandchildren not to eat or sleep, but today he himself did not abide by this rule, at the dinner table, he kept chatting with Pei Miao.

After lunch, Ye Lao was in good spirits. He took Pei Miao and Ye Xiangnan out for a walk to digest food. Ye Xiangnan had no interest in walking. When I looked at him, he was full of energy again, the standard double-faced.

His small actions couldn't hide from Ye Lao at all, Ye Lao called out: "Xiang Nan, come to me, don't fall behind, young, can't you outrun me, an old man in his 80s?"

Ye Xiangnan had no choice but to hurry up a few steps, and came to Ye Lao's side, Ye Lao began to nag: "Xiang Nan, don't think I'm annoying, you seem to be young, you must keep exercising and develop a good Body, this is the greatest wealth in your life, but it is a pity that you young people don't understand this truth at all, sacrificing your health to make money, this is not bad, there are even many young people, what are you doing... 957, evening Going to a nightclub to drink at nine o'clock and finishing at five o'clock in the morning, seven days a week, that's how you used to be."

Ye Xiangnan said: "I've only been there a few times, and you caught them all by your ears, and you put a gun to my head, making me swear I'll never go to this kind of place again, and I haven't been there since. It's over."

Pei Miao was shocked when she heard the words, and pointed a gun to her grandson's head. Ye Lao's education method... tsk..., ordinary people can't learn it.

Ye Lao sighed as he walked: "An inch of time is an inch of gold, an inch of gold is hard to buy an inch of time, there is a place to find lost gold, but there is nowhere to find lost time, Pei Miao, Xiangnan, although you are short of backup, you are not a few years apart in age , you are in the prime of youth and in full bloom. I tell you from my own life experience that you must cherish your youth. In this most energetic age, do more meaningful things and make your own life plans. Fight for your purpose in life, and when you're old enough to remember, you'll thank me for what I said to you today."

Ye Xiangnan nodded quickly when he heard the words: "Understood."

Pei Miao lowered her head silently. He may not be old enough to recall the past, because he was in his youth, but his situation is a bit special, because his life time is running out.

When it comes to life goals, Pei Miao feels sad, he doesn't deserve to have this thing.

After the walk, Ye Xiangnan wanted to go out to play. Under normal circumstances, Ye Lao would not allow it, but now that Pei Miao was here, he used Pei Miao as a shield, saying that he wanted to take Pei Miao to visit the magic capital.

Mr. Ye immediately agreed, but he still told Hua a lot, such as be careful and go home early.

Pei Miao and Ye Xiangnan took Ye Lao home, and Ye Xiangnan and Pei Xiangnan drove out.

Pei Miao sat in the co-pilot and asked, "Where shall we go?"

Ye Xiangnan said: "I haven't thought about it yet, anyway, as long as I don't stay at home, it's too boring."

Pei Miao said: "Since you don't know where to go, can you take me to Li's Antique Shop, I will go to see the antiques."

"Yo, looking for antiques." Ye Xiangnan suddenly became interested, and said, "Okay, let's go to look for antiques, right? Li's Antique Shop, let me think about it..."

Ye Xiangnan is still very familiar with Shanghai, after all, he grew up in Shanghai, and soon brought Pei Miao to an antique shop in Hongqiao Market.

This is not a professional antique market. The number of antique shops and street stalls is far less than that of a specialized antique market. However, I heard that there are occasional antique night markets here. It seems that there are street stalls selling antiques everywhere, which is very lively.

When I came to the antique shop in Hongqiao Market, I felt an ancient feeling before entering the door. Compared with the Zhao's antiques in Jinling, the decoration style of this Li's antique shop is more retro. There is a stone archway. After entering the store, I saw that there were no modern electrical appliances in the store. The electric lamps were also the same kind of gauze lamps. Of course, the light bulbs were not candles in these gauze lamps. There were no modern electrical appliances in sight. , does not mean that there is no, it is just that these electrical appliances are hidden in places where they cannot be seen through various decoration methods.

After all, Ye Xiangnan is Ye Lao's grandson. Although he didn't put his heart into learning about antiques, he has been fascinated by it since he was a child, and he is no stranger to the antique industry. He can even tell the authenticity of many antiques.

Ye Xiangnan used to accompany Ye Lao to visit antique stores before. After entering the store, he turned his head and looked around. Ye Xiangnan nodded and said: "This store is not bad, it looks very professional. Porcelain."

Pei Miao nodded with a smile, and said, "It seems that you still have some foundation in antiques."

"That must be." Ye Xiangnan smiled triumphantly, "I have watched my grandfather play antiques since I was a child, as long as I am not a fool, I will understand something."

"You really don't need to boast. If you say you are fat, you will immediately gasp." Pei Miao said with a smile, walked straight to the counter, and asked Zhang Yan, "Hello, I am your friend of Mr. Li, I am My name is Pei Miao, can I tell Mr. Li that I'm in your shop."

Zhang Yan is a middle-aged man who is only fifty years old. He looked Pei Miao up and down, laughed and said, "Sorry, our boss is very busy."

Pei Miao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is it inconvenient?"

Palm Eye smiled and nodded: "It's not convenient."

"Alright then." Pei Miao smiled, without saying anything, turned around and began to walk around the store.

Ye Xiangnan followed behind Pei Miao, and said depressedly: "This dog's eyes look down on people, do you want me to teach him a lesson?"

Pei Miao said: "No, I will find a way to make him submit."

After he finished speaking, he began to cast his abilities and carefully inspected the things in the store.

As the number one antique chain store in Shanghai, Li's Antiques naturally has a lot of goods in the store. The boutique area is all antiques with clearly marked prices, and they are equipped with authentication certificates issued by local authorities.

Of course, the prices of these boutiques are naturally quite high.

Pei Miao just strolled around for a while, suddenly her eyes fell on a plain flute.

Xiao is a traditional wind instrument in ancient my country. Some people always confuse the flute with the flute. The flute is played horizontally and the flute is played vertically.

Moreover, the pronunciation of Dongxiao and Dizi are not the same.

The so-called plain flute is just a piece of bamboo without any embellishments, decorations or carvings. With finger holes and playing holes drilled, it looks like it still maintains the original appearance of bamboo. This is plain flute.

This plain flute is made of ordinary purple bamboo, about two feet long, this length is not very long among Dong Xiao, it can only be considered moderate.

谷怴

This flute has a good patina, obviously it has been around for some years, because it doesn't have any decorations, it looks too ordinary, so Li's antiques made a carbon fourteen test on this flute, and the carbon fourteen test book shows the time , late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

The ordinary plain flute in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty didn’t even have too much introduction in the instruction manual, but simply wrote “Purple bamboo flute in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, priced at [-].”

Although it is something from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty, the price is so high that it makes people frown.

Although antiques are rare, all prices are relatively high, but not all antiques are expensive. If you go to the mountain to pick a stone, which is also a legacy from ancient times, can you sell it for a good price? Obviously not.

The price of antiques is closely related to the level of craftsmanship of antiques, or it can be said that some historical celebrities have given added value, just like some very common personal items or signatures of some celebrities can be auctioned for thousands of dollars. million price.

But this flute has nothing, and the craftsmanship is very ordinary. Just because it is a flute from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, it actually costs [-] yuan. In good conscience, [-] yuan is a bit expensive.

But Pei Miao knew that this flute was not simple, so he asked the teller to take out the flute so that he could have a look at it, and the teller did the same, took out the flute and showed it to Pei Miao.

Pei Miao pretended to look at it for a while, and then began to counter the price, but he only paid back the price up to 4, which seemed like a lot, but Pei Miao still felt that the price was inflated.

The teller was impatient and asked Zhang Yan to negotiate with Pei Miao. After negotiating with that palm eye for a while, Pei Miao paid another 5000. Purple bamboo flute.

Zhang Yan asked the teller to put the flute into a long bag, then put it in a long box, and handed it to Pei Miao. Pei Miao picked up the box and continued to look at other things in the store without looking at it.

I have to say that you are indeed capable of Li's antiques. Pei Miao took a quick look and found nothing that could be missed except this purple bamboo flute.

The last time Li Chufeng missed two treasures in a row in his Jubaozhai, Pei Miao said that he wanted to find this place back, so he started to visit the boutique area.

The boutique area is full of treasures with authentication certificates, the price is clearly marked, and bargaining is refused. If you want to find a leak in the boutique area, the hope is even slimmer.

Originally, Pei Miao planned to wander around the boutique area casually just because she was not reconciled, and at worst try another Li's antique shop.

However, unexpectedly, there are unexpected gains in the boutique area.

Pei Miao asked the teller to take out a long-necked bottle with plum patterns from an official kiln in the Kangxi period in the boutique area, and let him have a look. After looking at it for a while, he bought it directly. This time, he did not counter the price, of course Yes, the boutique area also refuses to bargain.

Credit card payment, 450 million.

To be honest, the price is basically more than doubled. If a bottle of this quality is placed in Jubaozhai, it will cost up to 220 million.

In fact, the important thing is not the price, but the important thing is that this bottle is a fake, and this fake can't be seen by ordinary people at all. Pei Miao can even confidently say that this bottle can be seen as a fake across the country, no More than five, and he is one of them.

Because he has seen counterfeit antiques very similar to this bottle more than once, and these antiques all come from the same place "Boguxuan".

Products produced by Boguxuan must be high-quality products, but unfortunately, all the high-quality products of Boguxuan are fake antiques.

Since Pei Miao had already paid the money, the bottle was naturally his. He held a magnifying glass and pretended to stare at the bottle while asking, "Is this bottle real?"

"Of course it is true!" Zhang Yan said confidently, "If there is an authentication certificate, in our store, as long as there is an authentication certificate, we will pay ten for the fake one."

Hearing this, Pei Miao looked up at him, and asked with a smile, "Ten for a fake? That means, if I find out that this bottle is fake now, you will pay me 4500 million?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "As long as you can prove that this bottle is a fake, we will immediately compensate you 4500 million."

Pei Miaodao pushed the bottle in front of him and said, "Losing money."

The shopkeeper was taken aback when he heard the words, and frowned, "You mean this bottle is a fake? What proof do you have?"

Pei Miao said, "This bottle is indeed a counterfeit, you should check it out."

"Don't talk nonsense." The shopkeeper raised his voice when he heard the words, and said, "You must be responsible for saying such things, otherwise I will sue you for defamation. Didn't you see the certificate on this bottle? Even the most authoritative certificate, you actually said it was a fake, what about the evidence! If you don’t show the evidence today, I will definitely sue you for defamation!”

His shout attracted the attention of many guests around. The people of the country like to join in the fun. Seeing that there is a lot of fun here, they all gathered around here.

Pei Miao smiled lightly and said, "You want evidence, okay, I'll show you the evidence."

He pointed to a plum blossom on the bottle and said, "Use a magnifying glass to take a closer look at this hidden plum blossom."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper picked up the magnifying glass and carefully observed the plum blossom that Pei Miao pointed to. He frowned and looked at it for a while, but he didn't find anything.

Pei Miao said, "If you have bad eyesight, put on your glasses!"

The shopkeeper took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, put them on, and then stared at the plum blossom again.

After observing for a long time, the shopkeeper suddenly exclaimed: "It's really Boguxuan!"

Hearing this, the spectators around were also very surprised. Many of them didn't know what Boguxuan was, but seeing the surprised and flustered look of the shopkeeper, they knew that the plot had reversed.

Pei Miao smiled lightly when she heard the words, spread her hands and said, "Let's lose money, 4500 million."

"This..." The shopkeeper couldn't believe it, picked up the magnifying glass and looked at the plum blossom for a while, then shook his head in amazement, "How is this possible! This has been verified by experts..."

Ye Xiangnan smiled proudly: "Experts are the most unreliable. They can't do anything except commit crimes."

Pei Miao frowned and said, "Xiang Nan, don't talk nonsense!"

Ye Xiangnan stopped talking.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Pei Miao reminded the shopkeeper: "I'm Li Chufeng's friend, you call now and ask him to come over immediately."

Now Pei Miao is the claimant, and with the sky-high price of 4500 million, he, the shopkeeper, can't make the decision at all. Li Chufeng must come here in person, so he nodded quickly: "I'll call Mr. Li right away."

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and called Li Chufeng.
