    After Zhou Wenping had a drink with Chu Chen, he asked him: "Xiao Chen, are you free next week? I have a house-pleasing job." "Like our antique business, how can you not be free? But who is the other party?  Man, Brother Zhou, why did you start doing slimming?" Chu Chen asked a little strangely.  "Hey, the owner of that house is actually my mother-in-law's second uncle" "What second uncle!" Sister-in-law Zhou interjected: "Actually, he is from the same village as ours. Their family was a landlord at the time, and my grandfather worked as a long-term laborer for them.  "Mom, what is a long-term worker?" Zhou Wenhui stopped eating the sweets and asked curiously.  Zhou Wenping rushed to say: "This long-term worker is a person who works all the time without being paid, so he is called a long-term worker." "Fuck you, how can you say that, and you are not afraid of teaching your daughter a bad lesson." Mrs. Zhou looked angry.  said.  "Ah, then Dad doesn't need to be paid for doing housework all day long. Then Dad, you are also a long-term worker!" "Pfft!" Zhou Wenhui's words made everyone laugh, and Zhou Wenping said to her awkwardly: "Child  "Everyone, eat your food and don't talk nonsense." Zhou Wenhui immediately became unhappy and pouted, "Huh, stinky dad, I won't pay attention to you anymore." "Uh-huh!"  Ping coughed in embarrassment and changed the topic: "As my mother-in-law said, that family used to be landlords. They still have some things in the house, and they were not destroyed before. Something happened to their house this time.  , so I was going to find someone to look at it, and wanted to exchange these ancestral things for some money as an emergency. " "They all knew that I was doing this business, so they called me in the afternoon and asked me to help pull the hair off. But, I  I don¡¯t know what good things he can have in his house, so I want to ask your opinion.¡± Upon hearing this, Chu Chen readily agreed: ¡°Sure, it¡¯s definitely no problem. Of course, we can¡¯t miss this opportunity.  Even if you don¡¯t gain anything at all, you can still go to Xijing for some fun. I have been in the antique business for so many years and have never been to Xijing, a thousand-year-old ancient capital. I want to take this opportunity to visit the antique market there. " Zhou Wenping met Chu.  Chen agreed and was very happy. He turned around and asked Lao Wu: "Lao Wu, what do you say?" Lao Wu scratched his forehead and said a little apologetically: "Brothers, I'm sorry. I have to go with you next week.  My wife is going home, but she can¡¯t make it.¡± ¡°Okay, will you go, Guodong?¡± Zhou Wenping asked Li Guodong again.  Chu Chen smiled and said before Li Guodong answered: "Yes, Guodong, you have nothing to do during the summer vacation. It just happens that you can take your girlfriend with you, and you can also increase our relationship with each other. It also happens that we can get to know your daughter."  Friend." After hearing this, Lao Wu said jokingly: "Hey, Guodong, okay, I have been a monk for several years and I have returned to secular life. Why didn't I bring it to dinner today so that everyone can get to know each other?" Zhou Wenping picked up the wine bottle.  He said: "That's right, you can't do this. You should treat us as friends. No, you must drink three drinks in a row." Everyone started making noises and asked him to drink. Seeing this, Li Guodong had to drink three drinks as a penalty.  Maybe he was really drunk and cowardly. After three glasses of wine, Li Guodong turned red in the face and said with some big tongue: "Okay, go ahead. I will definitely bring my guy with me, or I will take your surname." Everyone was in an uproar.  After applauding, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Okay, in the words of the people of Bashu, when the heroes are rising, I will drink to you, Brother Li." After that, everyone drank and drank with each other, and the atmosphere was quite lively.  ********************************** The next day, Chu Chen also woke up early in the morning. Yesterday¡¯s meal  , everyone ate for more than three hours. In the warm atmosphere, the wine fight was extremely fierce. The four of them drank a total of eight bottles of 500 ml Moutai. In the end, except Chu Chen who was still a little sober because of his good health, the others  Everyone was drunk.  Maybe it was because of the good quality of the wine yesterday, or maybe it was because he had a special ability, but Chu Chen didn¡¯t feel a headache after getting up, otherwise the hangover would be unpleasant.  Chu Chen planned to buy some goods today. After thinking about it for the past two days, he still felt that it would be better to practice street stalls. There are still many information channels for vendors. The antiques industry is the most important news, and it is mixed in the market.  It will also make it easier to encounter missed opportunities.  As for gambling on stones, to be honest, Chu Chen has not thought about the specific plan. It is okay to gamble occasionally. If he gambles on stones all day long and wins many times, he might be suspected.  Besides, the quality of wool here in Beijing is not as good asThere are good things from the south, and good steel should be used on the blade. What Chu Chen wants most now is to take a ride to the stone betting market in southern Yunnan to see if he can meet some informants.  He has often heard that good jade wool is kept at the seller's house. If there is no informant to guide the way, no one will sell it to you.  If he knew the informant now, he would not have gone to pick up the goods today. He would have already taken a plane to go to southern Yunnan to gamble on stones.  In fact, the most important thing is to have no money. If you have money, go directly to the public market for large transactions. Chu Chen believes that with his special powers, he will be able to make a lot of money by then. With good luck, he will not even make hundreds of millions.  Disaster.  Thinking of this, Chu Chen hesitated a little. Should he go to gamble on stones or get the goods? After thinking about it, he gave up the temptation of gambling on stones. After all, some rumors in the gambling market were too easy to spread. Yesterday, he went to gamble on stones.  The bet was won, and the stone bet was won again today, which will always attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives.  After all, Chu Chen's reputation was still too small. If he was famous, he wouldn't be surprised if he often won in gambling. This is why he wanted to gamble on stones in southern Yunnan. The base of wool there was large, so it wouldn't be surprising if he won in gambling.  And if you win a few bets, others will only praise you for your good eyesight, and your reputation will rise.  The place where Chu Chen went to pick up the goods was in the Capital Antique City, which is across the wall from Panjiayuan. This channel was also introduced by Uncle Wu.  Beijing Antique City should be regarded as the largest antique art trading center in Asia at present. It was formed at about the same time as Panjiayuan. Both places are old antique markets in Beijing.  Although it was not the weekend, when Chu Chen came here, he still saw crowds of people and it was very lively. However, the store Chu Chen was going to was a bit remote, so he didn't have to try the crowded feeling with others, otherwise it would be so hot on a hot day.  It's really uncomfortable to be crowded with people.  When he was about to reach the shop, an old man suddenly slammed out the door of an antique shop and said angrily: "What the hell? It's obviously an object passed down from my ancestors, but you actually insist that it's modern."  It¡¯s fake, you don¡¯t have the eyesight to open an antique shop!¡± This situation should be caused by the old man selling antiques, but the palm-eye master didn¡¯t like it and said something unpleasant.  Chu Chen didn't pay much attention at first. After all, there are many things like this in antique shops. Although there are some antique shop masters who make mistakes, most of the items brought by customers are not genuine.  But when Chu Chen saw the object in the old man's hand out of the corner of his eye, he felt something was wrong and quickly shouted: "Old sir, please stay." "What are you doing? What do you want?" The old man stopped, his tone was a little stiff and tight.  He tightened his grip on the things in his hands and looked at Chu Chen warily.  Chu Chen said to the old man with a smile on his face: "Old sir, I don't mean any harm. I just want to ask if you want to sell the thing in your hand. If possible, can you let me get my hands on it." The old man looked at it with suspicion.  Looking at Chu Chen, he said: "You want to buy it? If you want to buy it, we can agree. This item is not cheap." Chu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, it's just that the stuff is good, and we can discuss the price." The old man came here to sell things.  Yes, seeing that Chu Chen was very talkative, he walked to the side of the road and handed the thing in his hand to Chu Chen.  This old man may not be in the antique business, and he doesn¡¯t know that antiques cannot be handled directly. Seeing this, Chu Chen frowned, and had to carefully take the thing over, and then observe it carefully.  This is a sapphire seal about six centimeters high. There is a black thing on it. At first glance, it seems a bit ugly.  But as soon as he got hold of the thing, Chu Chen laughed in his heart. He knew that it was indeed an antique without the help of supernatural powers. Perhaps it was because of this black thing that the people in the antique shop left.  Blinded.  This black thing has a special term in the antique industry, called "oil lifting". It was very popular from the Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.  Specifically, through some thermal processing methods, some black substances such as "ebony wood chips" are applied to the jade, so that the jade produces an antique flavor, which is also called "blackening".  This method is also often used in modern forgery. However, the ancient method has certain limitations. Because their processing level is not in place, the jade will have cracks.  After the ancients played with it for a long time, sweat penetrated into the cracks, producing a yellow color. The contrast between this color of color and the black color is very obvious.  From this point it can be seen that this seal should be an old thing.  Chu Chen didn't understand why the owner of the store didn't notice such an obvious feature. Could it be that the person was not very good at it, or did he just judge it at a casual glance?  Then Chu Chen opened his mother and carefully observed the characteristics of this seal. The first thing he saw was?The black qin produced by lifting the oil spreads down from the top, which can be described as solemn and solemn.  The whole piece of seal material is square and the texture is fine and clear.  The black Qin part of the top is carved with dragon buttons. The dragon body is coiled and the dragon head is in the center, showing majesty in all directions.  The dragon has countless scales, fine facial features, and excellent craftsmanship. It is a perfect combination of jade material and skillful workmanship.  The carving of this dragon button should be the characteristics of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. If you use a magnifying glass to look at the carving of the dragon, you can see that there are many patterns. These patterns are the marks made by polishing with water stool and emery in ancient times, which is in line with the Ming Dynasty.  Characteristics.  From the above points, it can be basically concluded that this thing should be an oil-painted sapphire ancient dragon button seal from the Ming Dynasty. The use of supernatural powers also confirms this conclusion.
