He certainly didn't do it for appreciation.

The main purpose is to see what the use of my identification skills is.

At this moment, the two big words "authentic" suddenly appeared in Li Jiandong's mind.

This identification skill is crude and simple.

I won’t waste time talking to the host and will just tell you that this is the genuine article.

Li Jiandong suppressed his excitement.

It looks like I can get something good to go home with today.

However, what excited Li Jiandong the most was that he had such terrifying identification skills.

Wouldn't it be true that no antique or collectible would escape my discerning eyes in the future?

Just take a look at it yourself and you can tell the authenticity with 100%.

In that case, if I meet someone who doesn't know anything about it, wouldn't I be able to take advantage of the opportunity?

You know, as time goes by after the reform and opening up, the more time passes, the more valuable these cultural relics become.

By then, it would not be a problem for any cultural relic to be sold for hundreds of millions
"Mr. Li? Mr. Li?" The boss at the side saw that Li Jiandong was a little fascinated, so he called him twice.
Li Jiandong came back to his senses: "Ah, ah, boss, you called me?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, if you have finished reading this, I will put it back."

Li Jiandong nodded, and the shop owner carefully put the things back.

Then, Li Jiandong continued, "Boss, this pastel-colored seven-treasure cup is indeed a good thing."

"Items from the Daoguang era are also valuable, but when I came here, I saw that your Baiguzhai also claimed to be a century-old store."

"Is this not all you have? If this is all you have to offer, it would be a disgrace to the reputation of this century-old store."

After these words were spoken, the boss's expression trembled slightly, but it was so subtle that it was not noticed.

The boss turned around and looked at Li Jiandong cheerfully: "Mr. Li, our Baiguzhai is not just a name for nothing."

"But Mr. Li should also know that good things can't be taken out casually."

"Boss, I'm the buyer and you're the seller. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't want a buyer to see it?"

"Are you worried that you might take out your treasure and I'll snatch it away?"

"I don't think I should be able to do this in broad daylight," Li Jiandong said directly.

The boss had no choice but to say, "Okay, since Mr. Li wants to see it."

"According to the rules of our business, sir cannot pass it over."

"Don't worry, I know the rules and I won't break them." Li Huaimi sat in a chair and drank tea leisurely.

The boss looked at Li Jiandong strangely.

Of course he was not afraid that Li Jiandong wanted to see his treasure.

But what exactly is Mr. Li going to do? He has no idea.
Could it be that a colleague came here to test the waters?
It doesn't even look like it.

But seeing that he always kept his promise, he didn't let go.

As a shop owner, it was impossible for him to not let the customer see his treasure, so he said, "Then Mr. Li, wait a moment, I will get it for you."

After a while, the shop owner carefully moved out a glass cabinet.

I saw something that looked like a wine jug placed in the glass cabinet.

The wine jug is dark blue in color, and there are some fish patterns engraved on the surface.

As soon as the boss put the things on the table, two big red words appeared in Li Jiandong's mind - fake.

It’s actually a fake?
Li Jiandong remained calm.

He didn't dare to speak carelessly, mainly because Li Jiandong had the identification skills.

But he is indeed not an expert, he can only know whether it is true or false.

But if I rashly say that this thing is a fake.

According to the rules in the antique business, this means destroying the store.

It's okay for you to smash other people's signs, but you have to give clear reasons.

If you can't say it, you have to apologize.

So, although Li Jiandong was curious, he didn't say a word.

Seeing Li Jiandong frowning and looking at him for a long time without saying a word, the boss felt a little unsure.

"Mr. Li, did you see something?"

"Boss, this is a folk kiln imitation of the Jun kiln fish basket vase from the Wanli period, right?"

"Mr. Li is indeed an expert, that's right." The shop owner was very surprised. He didn't expect that Mr. Li knew all this.

"This..." Li Jiandong didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although this was an imitation of Jun kiln by a folk kiln during the Wanli period, it is still very good in both appearance and value.

Naturally, they are all first-class.

But that is relative to the real thing.

Seeing that Li Jiandong seemed to be hesitant to speak, he asked curiously, "Does Mr. Li have any good ideas?"

"Ah no, it's just that I haven't seen such a good thing for a long time."

"Bai Gu Zhai is indeed a century-old shop. This treasure is worthy of its reputation."

"I just don't know how you got this fish basket, old shop?"

Hearing Li Jiandong praising himself, the boss also happily introduced himself.

"This fish basket urn was brought back from Shanxi by my grandfather when he was young."

"It cost my grandfather 10,000 dollars to get it."

"Ten thousand dollars?" Li Jiandong took a breath of cold air.

“This is not a small amount of money.”

"Yes, this is not a small amount of money, so we at Baiguzhai have always regarded this fish basket as a treasure to protect our house."

When Li Jiandong heard his boss say this, he wanted to ask him several times whether he was lying to him.

But in the end he didn't ask.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Li Jiandong directly asked, "Would you mind parting with the pastel-colored seven-treasure cup?"

"No problem. Mr. Li is an expert at first glance. A foreigner wanted to buy this pastel-colored seven-treasure cup before, but I couldn't bear to part with it."

"Since Mr. Li is an expert, I won't be polite to him either."

"How about 10 yuan?"

"No more." Li Jiandong bargained directly.

The boss was also shocked by Li Jiandong's amazing bargaining ability.

"Mr. Li, this is a pastel-colored seven-treasure cup," said the shop owner.

"I know, but the lady boss is telling the truth. There have been many imitations of this pastel-colored Seven Treasures Cup in recent years."

"Also, the value of things from the Daoguang era also needs to be considered. Not everything is valuable."

"This pastel-colored seven-treasure cup is nothing more than a tea bowl, and you sold it to me for 0. You're really cheating me."

"50 yuan, you make a lot of money." Li Jiandong said.

The shop owner also thought he was unlucky to have met a real expert today.

He nodded and said, "Well, I'm lucky to have met you. I'll sell it to you."

50 yuan is not a small amount of money these days.

After paying 50 yuan, Li Jiandong took the packaged Seven Treasures Cup away.

After leaving the shop, Li Jiandong took advantage of no one's attention to put the small box containing the pastel seven-treasure cup into the system space.

Then he continued to wander around alone.

Although Liulichang is only 83000 square meters in total, there are countless cultural relics shops from one end of the street to the other.

Along the way, Li Jiandong was called into the store several times to take a look.

The most culturally rich place in the entire city is undoubtedly Liulichang.

At this moment, Li Jiandong was attracted by a store called Cuiwen Pavilion.

Although Li Jiandong is not a fan of cultural relics.

However, some of the century-old shops in Liulichang are still well-known.

Cuiwen Pavilion is one of them.

At this time, a young woman was standing at the door of Cuiwen Pavilion, looking at Li Jiandong with curiosity.

But from her eyes, it can be seen that this woman must be attracted by Li Jiandong's handsome appearance.

"Sir, would you like to come in and take a look?"

Li Jiandong also nodded with a smile: "There are few people in Liulichang who don't know the cabinet of Cuiwen Pavilion."

"I have to go in and take a look when I come here."

The woman said cheerfully, "May I know your name, sir?"

"My surname is Li."

"Hello Mr. Li, my name is Fang Ru."

Fang Ru?

This name is not bad.

He thought of his wife Qin Huairu.

Women with the character "Ru" in their names seem to be very beautiful.

The two shook hands, and Li Jiandong followed Fang Ru into the store.

As soon as he entered the store, Li Jiandong was attracted by the interior decoration of Cuiwen Pavilion.

It is a genuine century-old shop in Liulichang.

Not to mention its fame, just the decoration alone can tell that it comes from a scholarly family.

The entire store is decorated in an antique style.

Different from the modern streets outside.

When you enter this store, you can immediately feel as if you have traveled through time and space.

Fang Ru asked, "Mr. Li, have you visited other places in Liulichang?"

"Yes." Li Jiandong said, "I've been to the Baiguzhai at the corner of the street."

"Oh, you mean Bai Yuming's Bai Gu Zhai, right?" Fang Ru said cheerfully. "How do you know each other?" Li Jiandong asked curiously.

But then Li Jiandong realized that he had talked nonsense.

We are all doing business on the same street, how could there be strangers?
Fang Ru said: "They are all neighbors, but I will also visit other stores on weekdays."

Li Jiandong nodded, but was immediately attracted by a fish basket vase placed in the store.

Authentic.

Isn’t this the fish basket vase that was imitated from the Jun kiln by a folk kiln during the Wanli period?
"Mr. Li?"

Fang Ru looked at the dazed Li Jiandong with curiosity: "What are you doing?"

"Ah, Miss Fang, I'd like to ask, what is the difference between this fish basket and the one in Baiguzhai..."

When Fang Ru heard what Li Jiandong said, she looked a little embarrassed.

"Ms. Fang, are you worried that I'm a spy for Bai Gu Zhai?"

"That's not the case. It's just that this fish basket is a treasure. I don't know how to explain it."

Li Jiandong then said cheerfully, "To be honest, when I went to Baiguzhai just now, I could tell at a glance that the fish basket vase was a fake."

"Yours is the real thing. I'm just curious why both of your families have this."

When Putuo heard what Li Jiandong said, he said, "The real Jun kiln fish basket vase has long been in my grandfather's pocket."

"But Mr. Li also knows that in our line of work, sometimes we can't admit defeat."

“Otherwise, you might even lose your own brand because of this.”

"So our two families have always been incompatible."

How could Li Jiandong not know what Fang Ru said.

It seems that Bai Gu Zhai is really just trying to vent his anger.

To be honest, there is nothing that can be done about this matter, whether you agree or not.

There is no way to deny the fact that this fish basket urn is a fake.

Li Jiandong was also very interested in this fish basket jar.

After all, as a thing from the Wanli period, this cultural relic is still very valuable.

"Well, Miss Fang, to be honest, I am very interested in this fish basket today."

"I wonder if Miss Fang is willing to give her up to me?" Li Jiandong asked curiously.

Fang Ru smiled and said, "That's natural."

"This fish basket vase has caused our two families to be at odds with each other in Liulichang. We might as well sell it as soon as possible."

"It can be regarded as completely settling the conflict between our Cuiwen Pavilion and Baiguzhai."

"And let Boss Bai know that what he has been collecting are all fakes."

"Then Miss Fang, please name a price."

Seeing that Li Jiandong was also an expert, Fang Ru said directly: "This fish basket vase is from the Wanli period."

“Although it’s not a rare treasure, it’s still something worth showing off.”

"If you like it, Mr. Li, you can take the 530000 yuan."

It's really good value for money

530000 yuan, I didn’t get cheated.

Li Jiandong could even make a small profit.

At this time, Li Jiandong nodded and said, "If that's the case, then please pack it for me, Miss Fang."

Seeing that Li Jiandong was so happy, Fang Ru immediately asked someone to wrap Li Jiandong up.

Taking advantage of this excuse, Li Jiandong got out 5,000 yuan from the system space.

After a while, the two men exchanged money and goods and the deal was done.

Picking up the box, Li Jiandong left Cuiwen Pavilion with Fang Ru's farewell.

Before leaving, Fang Ru asked meaningfully, "Will Mr. Li come again?"

"I live in Sijiu City. I'll come and take a look when I have nothing to do."

"Okay, if Mr. Li needs anything, Cuiwen Pavilion will welcome Mr. Li."

This Miss Fang is indeed a beauty.

It would be a lie to say that Li Jiandong was not tempted.

It’s a pity that I’m already old and there’s no point in being attracted to her even if I’m still attracted to her.

Holding the box, Li Jiandong walked towards the street corner.

Just at this moment, Boss Bai just walked out and saw the box from Cuiwen Pavilion in Li Jiandong's hand.

Boss Bai said cheerfully, "Mr. Li, what good stuff did you find at Cuiwen Pavilion again?"

"Fish Basket Master." Li Jiandong said happily.

Boss Bai's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Li Jiandong pretended not to know and left after saying hello.

After seeing Li Jiandong leave, Boss Bai's son came out.

"Dad, I'm afraid that our fish basket is..."

"Nonsense, how could my grandfather's vision be wrong? You are just a traitor."

"Go inside."

……

Li Jiandong took the things and did not go home, but went directly to the courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the courtyard, I saw Yan Jiefang arguing with Yan Bugui.

The father and son were arguing fiercely.

Li Jiandong walked over and said, "Yan Jiefang, you have really grown up."

"You're arguing with your own father in the street. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Yan Jiefang felt a little aggrieved: "Uncle Li, you know that I have been in the Siheyuan for so many years."

"How my parents treated me, if I hadn't had any conscience today."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui was so angry that he covered his chest and said, "You little bastard."

"Are you hungry or thirsty?"

"Didn't I raise you?"

Yan Jiefang left the courtyard angrily.

Yan Bugui saw that his son and he had calculated the matter so clearly.

He immediately covered his chest with his hands, looking like he was about to have a heart attack.

"This brat is going to piss me off to death." Yan Bugui sighed.

"Okay, Old Yan, we are all from the same compound."

"When you were young, we old neighbors all know how your children were raised."

"Is it the child's fault that your father-son relationship has come to this point?"

Yan Bugui is not a fool. In fact, he knows better than anyone what he did in the past.

But that's just the way this guy is.

If you want to let him take advantage, all good things will come to him.

Then everyone would be happy, because who doesn’t like to take advantage?

But if you tell him to pay for his mistakes
That is to deny it in every possible way.

It’s nothing, it’s just human nature.

Yan Bugui was also a little unconvinced at this time: "Am I still starving him?"

"I say, Yan Bugui, when your child wanted to eat an egg, what did you tell him?"

"If you want to eat, earn money to buy it yourself." Li Jiandong said, "Do you think this is something a father should say?"

"What is responsibility? This is called responsibility. You say you are a father."

"Saying such things to a child who is not yet able to protect himself."

"What kind of consequences will that have on the child? Do I need to tell you?"

"Now your child is just imitating you."

"People say that when parents educate their children, they don't let you show off in front of them."

"I know you, Yan Bugui, like to scheme and take advantage, but you have the ability to scheme and take advantage with outsiders."

"What are you planning in front of your own child? Can you plan anything good?"

"Now, the child who was closest to you, Tianran, has turned against you."

"Do you think you, Yan Bugui, will fail in this life?" Li Jiandong said directly.

Yan Bugui was speechless for a moment after hearing what Li Jiandong said.

In fact, Yan Bugui himself knew that there seemed to be something wrong with his children.

But the problem is, that's human nature.

Wasn't that the same thing happening in my family when I was a kid?

Li Jiandong continued, "Old Yan, I'm not saying anything bad about you."

"We have a long history and culture, but some things are not necessarily good."

"We should learn good things, but we should also discard those feudal dregs."

"My suggestion is that you should calm down and have a good talk with your child when you have time, and admit your mistakes."

"After all, he is my own child. How can we become enemies?"

After hearing what Li Jiandong said, Yan Bugui nodded and said, "Chief Engineer Li, you are right."

"I do have a problem with this matter. I'll listen to you."

Seeing that Yan Bugui was so sensible, Li Jiandong took his fish basket and went back home.

I haven't been back to my old house for a long time.

It can be used as a storage place for your own cultural relics.

At this time, Li Jiandong also carefully examined the cultural relics taken out from Liulichang. (End of this chapter)
