    In fact, Nan Nan had already guessed Chu Chen's answer when he just said the words, and if it were him, he would definitely not be able to transfer such a treasure when he just got it.  Even so, when he saw Chu Chen's rejection, the regret in his heart was beyond words.  Next, Nan Nan refused to give up and told Chu Chen that he should think about it again and that he could offer corresponding things in exchange, but Chu Chen remained unmoved.  Seeing this situation, Nan Nan sighed secretly, and then observed the bracelet carefully.  The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't put it down. At first, he looked at the bracelet from a businessman's point of view, but after carefully appreciating it, he really liked it.  But thinking of Chu Chen's firm attitude, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.  In the end, Nan Nan thought about it and gritted his teeth and decided to get something relatively heavyweight, hoping to replace this bracelet.  But unfortunately, several pieces of porcelain treasures he collected were bought by a customer yesterday. Now he didn't know whether Chu Chen was interested in other antiques.  "Forget it! Let's appraise the remaining two things first and then talk about it" While Nan Nan was thinking hard, Chu Chen also picked up the things Nan Nan had just taken and began to appreciate them.  Nan Nan had just asked about the category of Chu Chen's collection before. Therefore, the three collections he brought over were all porcelain. One of them was a rouge ground pastel peony flower pattern bowl from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. The painting and workmanship all reflected  It exuded a royal style. After carefully appreciating it, Chu Chen confirmed that it should belong to the official kiln of the Yongzheng period.  As for the other two pieces, judging from their characteristics, they should both be works from the Longquan kiln of the Yuan Dynasty.  One piece is a string-pattern bottle with a rolled mouth and a long neck that resembles a bamboo joint.  The belly of the garlic head is slightly rounded.  There are two and three string patterns on the lower part of the neck and the upper part of the abdomen respectively.  The whole body is decorated with pink celadon glaze, the glaze color is soft and elegant, as smooth as sapphire.  The glaze surface is shiny, the shape is unique and natural, and it is integrated with the glaze color, stable and generous.  It highlights Longquan's theme of "beautiful and dignified shapes are created to reflect the glaze".  This bottle Chu Chen confirmed should be genuine without a doubt.  The other piece is a celadon-glazed statue of flowers and pomegranates wrapped around branches. This statue has a curled mouth, everted lips, a long neck, and a protruding ring in the center of the neck.  The belly is round, the lower part of the belly is narrowed, and the feet are round. It is named because it looks like a pomegranate.  The body of this vessel is decorated with carving, scratching and pasting techniques, and the mouth edge is bounded by string patterns.  Paste the nipple, draw flowers and grass, and triangular brocade pattern for a week.  Ganoderma lucidum and curly grass patterns are carved on the neck, brocade ball pattern is carved on the shoulders, four groups of large-leaf peony flowers are embossed on the abdomen, the leaf veins are made of grating pattern, and a slender lotus petal pattern is carved near the foot.  The carcass of this vessel is thick and the glaze color looks green and clear. Judging from its characteristics, it should be a typical work of the Yuan Dynasty.  The shape of this pomegranate statue is quite rare.  Chu Chen had only seen a similar artifact in the Forbidden City before. From this point of view, you can know that it is rare and its value is higher than Chu Chen's two items.  "But after Chu Chen observed it carefully, he found that there was something wrong with the Pomegranate Lord, and he finally used his superpower.  The results also confirmed his judgment.  This made him secretly say that it was a pity. If such an exquisite Longquan kiln pomegranate statue was genuine, he would exchange it even for a small fee.  Chu Chen put the pomegranate in his hand back respectfully.  Over there, Nan Nancai also appraised Chu Chen's things. He sighed: "Mr. Chu, your things can be said to be rare treasures. Such artifacts can definitely be put on the auction block, and they will definitely be sold at auction."  The price will be high." Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare to accept it. Boss Nan, your things are also very good." Nan Nan probably wanted to change to Chu Chen's bracelet, so he smiled and said, "I can't.  In this way, although my things are not bad, they took a long time to obtain. Unlike your sharp eyes, I bought these treasures in one morning. I wonder if I can ask you about these.  Which antique store did you buy them from? Maybe the ones you have left are already exquisite in my eyes!" Chu Chen replied with a smile: "Boss Nan, you are really flattering, but we still have some in the morning!  I've never been to an antique shop." Nan Nan was stunned when he heard what Chu Chen said. He was a little stunned and said, "Mr. Chu, you mean that you have all these things at the stall.  "Bought?" "Not entirely!" Chu Chen shook his head slightly, and he didn't say much about the matter. After all, things like picking things up were too hateful, and he didn't want Nan Nan to be jealous.  Nan Nan was somewhat relieved with this reply. If these things were all bought at the stall, it would be really amazing. Let¡¯s not talk about the probability of seeing these treasures at the stall.?, in terms of price, he has been doing business for so many years and understands that the prices of things on the stalls are generally not too expensive.  And no matter how expensive it is, based on Chu Chen¡¯s experience, the price of the items is definitely a bargain compared to what¡¯s in his store.  Of course, he never imagined that Chu Chen didn't spend more than 150 euros on the bronze hammer just now. If he knew, he would probably be depressed to death.  "That's not right!" At this moment, Nan Nan suddenly thought of a question. Chu Chen had just said clearly that he had never been to an antique shop. Now he asked him if he got it all from the stall, and he said not entirely.  ,Is not this contradictory?  "Mr. Chu, you just seemed to be saying that you haven't been to an antique store today, right?" "That's what happened" Chu Chen knew that Nan Nan would ask this question, so he told what happened.  Usually at flea markets, there will be some barter transactions.  While shopping in the morning, Chu Chen and Wu Ke came across such a stall. In addition to buying things with money, Chu Chen and Wu Ke could also exchange items for items.  Of course, the items used for exchange or the price of the transaction must be accepted by the seller.  The items on this stall are all exquisite handicrafts, such as small hairpins, cute bracelets, gorgeous necklaces, etc., which are very popular among many women, including Wu Ke.  After some selection, Wu Ke also bought several things.  Just as the two were about to check out and leave, Chu Chen noticed that a middle-aged woman next to them said that she would use her bracelet to exchange for the seven or eight things she picked.  Having said this, everyone must have understood that the bracelet of this middle-aged woman was exactly the core-carved bracelet with 108 Arhats that Chu Chen later obtained.  The seller looked at the bracelet of the middle-aged woman and said that he could only exchange five items at most, and more would not be enough. However, the middle-aged woman did not let go, so they were in a stalemate for a while, and the two broke up.  Seeing the middle-aged woman leave with an unhappy look on her face, Chu Chen quickly asked Wu Ke to wait where he was for a while. Then he chased after her, stopped her, and said he wanted to see her bracelet.  Moreover, he felt lucky that the middle-aged woman could also speak English, which saved him from having to communicate with the other party in his still very poor French.  The middle-aged woman was quite wary at first and asked Chu Chen why he was interested in her bracelet.  Chu Chen smiled and moved Wu Ke out, saying that she liked him, but because the money had not been paid, she let him come over.  The middle-aged woman also noticed Chu Chen and the others just now, and when she saw that Chu Chen was fair and tender, and well-dressed, he should not be a bad person, and she did not realize that her thing was a precious antique, so she opened the box  Let Chu Chen watch.  Chu Chen took out the bracelet and took a look and found that it was indeed a genuine one. This made him somewhat excited and he quickly said: "Madam, your bracelet is great. I think my fianc¨¦e will like it. How much does it cost?  Transfer it to me? " Seeing Chu Chen say this, the middle-aged woman was very happy and said, "Young man, I see you are quite honest. If you want it, just pay one hundred euros!" In fact, she chose just now!  The few items he bought were not worth a hundred euros in total. However, now it was Chu Chen who was asking for ideas. Of course, she knew that she would wait for the price and that she should raise the price slightly.  In this case, Chu Chen certainly couldn't agree immediately, so he seemed a little hesitant.  Seeing this, the middle-aged woman started to talk about how good her things were. If she were in a big shopping mall, she couldn't buy them for a hundred euros. The price she was giving now was already very cheap. If Chu Chen didn't want it, then she would  Not selling anymore.  Chu Chen was actually just pretending. Seeing the middle-aged woman say this, he took advantage of Po Xia Donkey and agreed. For a while, both parties were happy.  After hearing what happened, Nan Nan felt envious and thought, why couldn't he encounter such a good thing?  He said with an envious look: "Mr. Chu, now I know what it means to be lucky!" Chu Chen smiled slightly, then changed the subject and said: "Boss Nan, let's talk about the transaction!" "Okay.  ! Okay!" Nan Nan nodded repeatedly, and then said: "Boss Chu, I am very satisfied with your snuff bottle and rhinoceros horn cup. I don't know what you think of these three things. " Chu Chen didn't.  He bluntly stated that the thing from Longquan Kiln was a fake. He pointed at the pastel bowl and the string-pattern bottle and said, "I am quite satisfied with these two things, but I think the value of these two things is higher than mine."  It's lower!" Nan Nan felt very strange when he saw that Chu Chen actually chose a pastel bowl and a string-pattern bottle, becauseHe felt that Chu Chen would be interested in his pomegranate statue, but he did not realize that his pomegranate statue was a fake. Instead, he thought that Chu Chen felt that the price of the pomegranate statue was relatively expensive and was not willing to increase the price to exchange for it.  "Isn't this a bit too stingy?" Nan Nan muttered to himself, but considering that he still wanted something from Chu Chen, he said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, in fact, you can also choose this pomegranate statue.  , as for the price difference, all you have to do is give it a try.
