    He took Duan Kun and Zhenzhen to play in the capital for several days. During this period, Liu Sizhe and Wang Xiaoyue, who had been missing for a long time, also appeared. The two of them clasped their fingers together, showing off their affection, which made Chu Chen laugh and scold him for forgetting his friends after seeing sex.  .  In addition to Liu Sizhe and Wang Xiaoyue, other friends also joined the playing team.  However, after Fatty Dong and Duan Kun met, the two began to ridicule each other and acted like sworn enemies.  When they had dinner on the first night, they started drinking together. In the end, they both drank heavily and became drunk at the same time.  But what made Chu Chen feel very strange was that when he saw these two people the next day, they had already reconciled. Seeing the two of them whispering to each other from time to time and smiling from time to time, Chu Chen couldn't help except shouting.  Apart from not understanding it, I really have nothing to say.  In this way, the days passed by in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed.  Early that morning, Chu Chen first sent Chu Yulan, who was home for the holidays, to school, and then picked up Uncle Wu and returned to the antique shop.  The day before yesterday, Chu Chen reached an agreement with the owner of the shop next door and completed the transaction. At that time, he called Boss Huang of the decoration company.  So, when Chu Chen and Uncle Wu arrived at the antique store, they saw Boss Huang from the decoration company and his men waiting in the store.  After the two sides said hello, Chu Chen took Boss Huang and his men to the store next door.  ??This store, as mentioned before, is not big. Chu Chen already told Boss Huang yesterday about his requirements. Today he is coming to survey the site and start construction once the drawings are ready.  Boss Huang checked all the stairs up and down, and said with a smile: "Master Chu, I took a look. Basically, the paper can be unearthed tomorrow. If you are satisfied, we can start construction that day." Chu Chen  He smiled and said: "Boss Huang, we are old friends. I am very confident in your work. Just like before. My requirements are not high, as long as the quality is good!" "Young Master Chu, don't worry, I promise to do it as soon as possible."  Finished with quality and quantity!" Boss Huang quickly promised, patting his chest.  "Well, when the decoration here is completed, I would also like to trouble you to help decorate my courtyard." Chu Chen said with a smile.  Boss Huang was stunned.  Then he asked: "How big is the courtyard?" "The total area is about 5,500 square meters!" Chu Chen replied.  "Hiss!" Although he knew that Chu Chen's courtyard was definitely not small, Boss Huang didn't expect it to be so big. He took a breath of cold air, and his men were so shocked that they almost touched the things in their hands.  All fell to the ground.  Regarding Boss Huang¡¯s reaction.  Chu Chen just smiled and said, "But that courtyard house is too old. I guess it all needs to be demolished and rebuilt." Boss Huang couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Chu Chen say that he wanted to demolish and rebuild. Although he didn't  How dare he make more money from Chu Chen, but after being together for so long, he also knew that Chu Chen was more generous.  I will definitely not treat him badly then.  Besides, this was an opportunity to get closer to Chu Chen, and he couldn't let it go. He had to complete it well.  However, Boss Huang still knew how much he was worth. After a while, he said with a sad face: "Mr. Chu, although my company has good qualifications, it is okay to take on your courtyard project, but  ¡± Before he could finish his words.  Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I have got rid of Professor Shi in terms of drawings, but he is quite busy at this time, and it will probably take some time before the drawings are available." Boss Huang patted his forehead and said with a smile:  "Hey! I almost forgot about him! With him here, I feel relieved" After explaining clearly to Boss Huang, the other party hurried back to make drawings, while Chu Chen closed the door of the shop and walked to the next door.  As soon as he walked to the door, Chu Chen saw an old man who looked like an old intellectual in his sixties. He walked straight to the cashier and faced the cashier with a large box in his hand.  Asked: "Girl, I wonder if your boss Chu is here?" The cashier was slightly stunned, and then gestured behind the old man: "Our boss is right behind you!" The old man was also stunned and replied  When he turned around and saw Chu Chen with a smile on his face, he felt a little embarrassed. Then he walked over to Chu Chen and followed him, smiling and saying: "Hello, Boss Chu, my name is Yuan Hongjian, it was Lao Zhu who introduced me to you.  "Chu Chen reacted immediately and said with a smile: "Oh, are you Professor Zhu's friend who just started collecting?" Yuan Hongjian said: "Yes, it's me! He told me yesterday that it was you,  I may have been deceived, so I came here today to ask for advice." Having said that, he can? Feeling that his words could easily cause misunderstandings, he quickly said: "Boss Chu, I usually speak so straightforwardly. I hope you won't be offended!" At first, Chu Chen really felt that he was here to ask questions, but now after hearing what he said,  He smiled and said: "No, no, let's go upstairs to talk!" "Okay" Yuan Hongjian nodded, and just took a few steps, he saw a guest holding a blue and white plate in his hand. The blue and white plate  It looked very beautiful, and it immediately aroused his interest. He pointed to the plate in the guest's hand and asked: "Boss Chu, can I have a look at that plate?" Yuan Hongjian spoke a bit loudly, and the guest  He also heard it, and he immediately turned around with a frown and glanced at Yuan Hongjian.  Chu Chen secretly smiled bitterly and quickly explained to the guest: "Sir, I'm really sorry. He just joined the industry and doesn't understand some of the rules." Hearing Chu Chen's explanation, the guest nodded. After all, everyone is from  A newcomer came over, and the other person is an old man, so why bother.  Seeing the reactions of the two people, Yuan Hongjian immediately knew that he had done something wrong. He laughed awkwardly and then asked in a low voice: "Boss Chu, couldn't I have asked that just now?" "Yes, there is a person in our industry.  The rule is called 'Don't look at the things in your hands.'" Chu Chen explained as he walked: "The hands mentioned here are not the things in the hands of the antique dealer, but the things in the hands of the buyers are not to be looked at.  Don¡¯t ask¡± Many newcomers don¡¯t understand this rule. For example, when they go to a booth and see someone else holding something and looking at it, they go over and look at it. If they see something they like, they go up and take it from the other person¡¯s hand.  thing, saying, "Dude, let me take a look at this."  If someone is polite at this time, they will say to you, please wait until I finish reading before you read it. If you are rude, I can directly scold you for not understanding the rules.  In addition, Chu Chen also told Yuan Hongjian a rule. If you wait for others to finish reading, it is best to wait until the seller takes the thing back before you take it from the seller. It is best not to take it directly from the buyer.  , this is mainly because some buyers may have unclean hands and feet and like to steal things. If they take the things and hand over the rest to you, and you return them after looking at them, you will not be able to tell the seller if they find something is missing.  .  Chu Chen said: "Besides, there are many landmines in our industry. If you don't pay attention, others will set you up like this. When the person is gone, you won't be able to explain why." "It turns out that there are still landmines.  There is such a saying!" Yuan Hongjian said with a surprised look on his face.  Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and then invited Yuan Hongjian into the VIP room. At this time, Uncle Wu was reading a book inside, and Chu Chen introduced both parties.  Chu Chen poured a cup of tea for Yuan Hongjian, and then said: "Actually, there are quite a lot of rules in our antique business. I happen to have a book here. You can always take it back and read it!" "How embarrassing!  Chu Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a book. You can just come back after reading it!" "Thank you, Boss Chu!" Yuan Hongjian expressed his gratitude.  At this time, Uncle Wu pointed at what Yuan Hongjian had brought and asked: "Senior, what did you bring?" "A ring jar from the Kangxi period! What do you think of it?" Yuan Hongjian was slightly puzzled.  I proudly took the thing out of the box, and it turned out to be a relatively small tank.  The so-called ringing jar is a popular name for this kind of porcelain in the East Hebei generation. According to legend, this is a prop used by small businessmen to attract customers. The specific method of use is to fill half a cylinder of water into the jar.  If it is too full, rub both sides of the tank with your hands, and a buzzing sound will become louder and louder, and the water in the tank will splash everywhere, which is really beautiful.  There is also a saying that the ringing jar is actually a toy. In the past, rich ladies could not go out, and unlike now where they have computers to play with and TV to watch, when they were lonely, they would rub the "ringing jar" with their jade hands and listen to the noise.  lonely.  As for what's going on, Chu Chen doesn't know much about it, but he knows that this kind of porcelain is a relatively niche collection, and many vendors will use it to deceive people. Many people are fooled when they are curious. As for Yuan Hongjian  Whether you have been fooled or not, you have to look at the things to know, but Chu Chen thinks the possibility is relatively high.  Yuan Hongjian¡¯s ring jar is only fifteen centimeters in height and looks very small and cute. The shape of the jar is a flat mouth with a folded edge and a flat bottom.  The whole body is painted with blue and white patterns, and in the heaven there are drums, thunder, cymbals and lightning.  Everyone in the hall covered their ears when they heard thunder, and the heaven and earth shook when the thunder sounded.  Thousands of golden lights flashed in the lightning.  After Chu Chen and Uncle Wu saw it, they knew what this thing was, and it was not beyond their expectations.  ¡°?Sir, do you know what a rattle cylinder is?  " Chu Chen asked. Yuan Hongjian chuckled and said: "It's just a jar that can make noise. I once heard a friend of mine who also plays antiques say that this thing is a book cylinder from the desk. At that time, I thought it was made with a stick or something else.  A kind of vat that can make sounds when metal objects are struck, so I wasn't surprised and didn't pay much attention to it. I happened to see this kind of thing at a stall some time ago"
