Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu used magnifying glasses to carefully observe the fan paintings and seals over and over again, and they were full of praise. After a while, the two reluctantly put the folding fan away and put it away carefully. to the table. Zhou Wenping praised: "Xiao Chen, this folding fan is a rare and top-quality thing! It has a top-quality purple-flowered wax base with a wide board with fourteen steps. The painting on the fan is "Lotus and Stone Birds" by Bada Shanren. It's like this I estimate that a fan bone with such a fan painting will cost a conservative estimate of 800,000 to 900,000 yuan, and it will be a hot commodity at auction!¡± The so-called fourteen levels refer to the number of levels divided into fan ribs. There are nine, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, twenty, twenty-two, twenty-four, thirty and even forty gears. wait. The so-called gear is the number of fan bones. The two bones at both ends of the fan are large bones, and the several bones between the large bones are small bones. The sum of the number of large and small bones is the number of steps of the fan. Among them, the 12th, 13th and 14th gear fan bones are rare. They were popular in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is characterized by a square head, wide bones (referring to large bones), and a length of about one foot. Chu Chen's folding fan has this typical feature, but its length is estimated to be about an inch longer than one foot. "Absolutely!" Chu Chen nodded with a smile on his face. "Xiao Chen, you have made a big mistake again. It's so annoying to compare people to each other!" Lao Wu shook his head and said with a bitter smile. Chu Chen spread his hands and said with a smile: "This thing was brought to me by itself, and I can't do anything about it. As the old saying goes, if you don't take what God has given you, you will be blamed for it. I can't just let it pass me by. Did it slip out of my hand?" Zhou Wenping shook his head and smiled, saying: "Forget it, if you compete with this guy, you are asking for trouble. By the way, Xiaochen, how are you talking about opening a store? "The location has been decided. It's the current Jiayi Restaurant," Chu Chen said. "There! The location is very good. Have you negotiated the rent?" Lao Wu asked. "It's not renting, I bought it directly." "Isn't it right? I know you have money, but although the location of that place is not very good, it is not bad. Would the previous landlord be willing to sell the store? Zhou Wenping asked in surprise when he heard this. ¡°I bought it through a friend¡¯s relationship,¡± Chu Chen said. Zhou Wenping smiled and said: "Xiao Chen, your friend has a lot of energy. But if you can buy such a large store, you don't have to worry about the size of the store being restricted in the future." "Haha, it's just because I don't want to be in the future. Due to restrictions, I bought such a large store, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t have waited until now.¡± Zhao Xueyi and Sun Xingnan actually introduced him to several stores before. However, either the store in a good location is too small, or the store is large and in a bad location. If not for future development, Chu Chen would have already decided which store to choose. "Well, before the store is renovated, you can call me to let me know so that I can get rid of everything in hand." Zhou Wenping said. "Brother Zhou. In fact, you can just resell your things to me." "I will definitely leave some fine products for you, but I will deal with those street stalls. After all, antique stores should have the taste of antique stores." " What? Brother Zhou, are you going to work in Xiaochen's shop?" Lao Wu said in surprise. "Yes!" Zhou Wenping nodded and said, "After all, my family has two children, and the income from running a street vendor is not stable. In the future, when they go to school, if the business is not good, the family will be a little stretched." "That's true. "Lao Wu nodded, lowered his head and thought for a while. Then he said to Chu Chen with some embarrassment: "Well Xiaochen, I wonder if you still lack manpower?" "Shortage!" Chu Chen asked with some joy: "Fifth brother, are you ready?" Come to my store? I will definitely not treat you badly in terms of salary and benefits." Lao Wu scratched his head and said, "I have this idea. After all, it's not a problem to set up a stall all the time. It's just me. Level" "Fifth brother, we have known each other for a long time. Your level is more than enough to open an antique store. How could I push you out of the door?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "Actually, I wanted to ask you to help me in the store before. But you said before that you like setting up stalls and being free, so I didn¡¯t dare to ask you.¡± ¡°Hey!¡± Lao Wu slapped his thigh and said, ¡°That¡¯s what I wanted. I have no choice but to say that, Xiaochen, it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know that we set up a stall from dawn to dusk every day, exposed to the sun and wind. If there is a regular job with a decent income, who would want to set up a stall? " Chu. Chen said happily: "Okay, in a few days, let's talk about the things you are responsible for and your salary. My initial idea"?You are put in charge of collecting antiques. What do you think? " "Okay, that's no problem! ¡¡± Next, the three of them had a heated discussion about the antique store, and finally it was basically decided that Chu Chen would be responsible for the overall situation of the antique store and jade matters, while Zhou Wenping would be mainly responsible for the daily management of the antique store. , Lao Wu was responsible for the antique collection work just mentioned. At the end, Chu Chen scratched his head and said to the two of them a little embarrassedly: "Well, Brother Zhou and Brother Wu, there is something I haven't told you. . " "What's up? " "That's right, I found my relatives a while ago. " "ah! " Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu both know about Chu Chen's affairs. When they heard about Chu Chen's childhood experience, they also helped pay attention to this matter. However, it has been several years and they have not heard any news. , Therefore, when they heard such news, both of them looked extremely surprised. After Zhou Wenping came to his senses, he said, "Xiao Chen, you didn't even talk to us about such an important matter. , It¡¯s really not interesting! " "that is! "Lao Wu also echoed. Chu Chen bowed to the two of them: "Two eldest brothers, it is indeed my fault, but there is nothing I can do about it" As he said, he gave a brief summary of the previous situation to the two of them. "My family's situation is a bit special, and I haven't adjusted my mentality on this matter before, so I haven't mentioned it to you. I hope you two won't take it off! " Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu did not reply, because they were both in shock at this time. They did not expect that Chu Chen would have such a life experience. "Xiao Chen, you mean, your grandfather is Chu Zhengrong, Mr. Chu? "After a while, Lao Wu asked dumbly. "Yes! "Chu Chen smiled bitterly. He had never expected that the two of them would have such a big reaction when they heard about his life experience. Now Chu Chen is a little doubtful whether it is right to tell them about this. "The reason why Chu Chen told them this He told them the truth, and because of this, the two of them were both friends and his subordinates. There was really no need to conceal such a thing. However, if the two of them were a little alienated from him because of his life experience, it would be better not to tell them this. Tell them something. In fact, the reactions of Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu are also normal, because in the real life of ordinary people, big shots are too far away from them. The sudden appearance of a big shot in front of them, even if they are just the descendants of the big shot, will make the two of them confused. People were shocked and felt a little unbelievable. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it! Xiaochen, you are actually the legendary princeling! "Lao Wu looked Chu Chen up and down and said. "Chu Chen spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I tell you two eldest brothers, please don't be like this. My family is my family and I am me. How can I have such a life experience?" , will I become a weakling? " Zhou Wenping chuckled and said: "Although you are not three-headed and six-armed, your ability is just three-headed and six-armed to us. " Chu Chen shook his head and said: "Actually, although privileges are great to use, it is too easy to get lost in them, and a family background like mine is sometimes quite troublesome. I would rather be born in an ordinary family. ¡± He actually said this out of emotion. If he was born in an ordinary family, it would be easy to find his parents and recognize each other. There would be no need to be as entangled as before. This time, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that he recalled some of his childhood memories, Maybe I am still struggling with when to call out the word "Mom and Dad". Lao Wu waved his hand and said: "Come on, I wish I was born in a family like yours. Then I can put on my clothes and stretch out my hands." , when I think about the days when food comes and I open my mouth, I feel like I am living like a fairy. "Chu Chen smiled and said: "Fifth brother, I think you have read too many novels, right? I don't deny that there are dandies, but as far as my friends are concerned, the discipline at home is very strict, and it is impossible to live a life like what you said. Let¡¯s talk about the brother of a friend of mine. He has been trained as a special soldier by his family since he was three years old. Eating caterpillars and spiders is all childish. If it were you, the fifth brother, what would you do? ? " Chu Chen was talking about Tong Hangqi's brother. When he first heard Tong Hangqi talk about this, Chu Chen thought that his brother was not his biological child. However, when Tong Hangqi talked about this, he also had lingering fears. He said , If he didn¡¯t have an older brother, it would probably be his turn to receive such training. ¡°Isn¡¯t it? How can anyone train children like this? Will there be no problems? "After hearing what Chu Chen said, Lao Wu and Zhou Wenping were very surprised. Chu Chen shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. Maybe there is some unique method! "ThisOn the other hand, he also asked Tong Hangqi specifically at that time, and judging from Tong Hangqi's meaningful smile, he probably should have it, maybe it was some legendary martial arts secret book. "Xiao Chen, what you are talking about is just an example, right?" Chu Chen said: "There are really not many like this, but after all, if you want a family to last for a long time, you always have to pay something as a descendant. Therefore, in the big world, It is very unlikely for a family to just live a life of stretching out clothes and opening mouths without working hard. " "Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, and everyone has his own ideas, but I think that in life. You can only live for more than a hundred years at most, so you have to leave something behind. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t it be a pity if you finally come to this world and leave no traces?¡±
