    In the next few days, Qiao Qingtai originally planned to take Chu Chen to visit various major attractions in Jiangcheng. However, just after browsing the surrounding area for a day, Qiao Qingtai got a piece of news and suspended the rest of the trip.  The off-road vehicle drove Chu Chen and his party to their destination. On the way, Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, you came at a good time. Usually Chen Liujin doesn't introduce much about good things. Maybe we can get something unexpected today.  " Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and then asked curiously: "Mr. Qiao, why is this man called Chen Liujin?" Qiao Qingtai laughed and said, "It's not like this guy can eat it. A three-pound rice meal is normal.  He only ate six kilograms of rice at most, so everyone gave him this nickname. "Six kilograms?" Hearing this, Chu Chen and the others were all a little unbelievable. This was six kilograms.  Rice, for some people with small appetites, may be full just by looking at it.  Chu Chen asked: "Does he have any physical illness?" Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "I went to the hospital and the doctor said he had hyperphagia. However, after treatment for a period of time, there was not much effect, and besides, his body was fine.  If you feel unwell, just treat it." Chu Chen said with a smile: "Then he spends a lot of money just on food." "That is, this guy basically spends all his money on food." Qiao Qingtai said with a smile.  : "But because of this, the commission he wants is a little higher than others, and he has to take care of his meals. However, the things he introduced are all good, so it is quite cost-effective." Chu Chen chuckled: "  As long as he doesn't have a bad heart" After more than an hour's drive, the car stopped at a village.  At this time, a man in his thirties walked to the car.  He greeted Qiao Qingtai with a smile on his face.  Qiao Qingtai smiled and introduced both parties. The man in front of him was Chen Liujin.  This left Chu Chen speechless.  The reason is simple. Chu Chen originally heard that Chen Liujin could eat so much in one meal.  Not to mention fat, at least he should be a little stronger, but it turned out that Chen Liujin was as skinny as a bamboo pole, as if he would be blown away by a gust of wind.  With this look, it's hard to believe that there's nothing wrong with his body.  Of course, there are all kinds of wonders in the world, maybe you just have a special physique.  Chu Chen was only slightly surprised and then regained his composure.  After a few words of greeting, Qiao Qingtai said: "Xiao Chen, come up and show us the way. Let's go there now." Chen Liujin smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Qiao, we can only walk there." "What?" Qiao Qingtai felt a little strange.  .  "Does this road look like it can be driven by a car?" Chen Liujin pointed to the road ahead.  It turns out that this place was originally an ancient village, and the village roads were also stone roads. Unfortunately, they were almost destroyed later.  All of them were taken home by the villagers and used to build houses.  This kind of thing happens all over the country. It doesn't matter whether you take the public property or not, even if the village chief says so, it doesn't matter.  It's totally irrelevant. ???????????????????????????? It¡¯s just that this will cause Chu Chen and the others to suffer. There is no way, because there was a heavy rain last night.  In addition, this place is relatively poor and there is no money to build cement roads.  The village roads were so muddy that it was impossible for cars to drive in.  Everyone can only choose to walk.  Hu Yong said: "We can't even build a road here, can we have anything good?" Chen Liujin said with a smile: "You can't say that, there were high-ranking officials here before, otherwise how could it be possible to pave it?"  A stone road? It¡¯s just that in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a banditry here, and it has been in ruins since then.¡± After hearing this, Hu Yong said, ¡°Isn¡¯t there something wrong? How come there are still good things left after banditry?  " Chen Liujin chuckled: "Of course there is very little gold and silver left, but who wants the bottles and jars of porcelain from those bandits? Don't worry, my principle in doing business is to be honest, and I came here beforehand.  After investigating, I asked Mr. Qiao to come over. Besides, with Mr. Qiao here, I can't sincerely lie to you!" Qiao Qingtai smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, take us there quickly, it's true!  Fake, you will know after seeing it." "That makes sense. Come on, put them on for you." As he said that, Chen Liujin took out a few pairs of rain boots from the plastic bag in his hand and handed them to everyone.  We put on rain boots and left the driver here to watch the car, and then followed Chen Liujin to the door of a villager's house.  Along the way, Chen Liujin introduced the situation of that house to everyone.  The owner of that family is named Lian Youshui. His family was not only a landlord a long time ago, but also a wealthy family. But later, I don¡¯t know how, it failed to reproduce well. By the time of Lian Youshui¡¯s father¡¯s generation,??There is only one single seedling left.  What this means is that all the property left by the ancestors and several families in the past belongs to Lianyou Sailor.  The poor families didn¡¯t have much money left, but the Youshui family was different. Until the Republic of China, they were still the richest people in the village. Their ancestors not only had land in the village, but also in the city.  Doing business and teaching, you earn money instead of copper coins.  Although the village was hit by bandits during this period, and his family suffered the most heavy losses, he had transferred part of his property in advance because he sensed something was wrong. In addition, the emaciated camel was larger than the horse. It is not difficult to imagine that the antiques and the like left behind.  The number of babies is certainly not small.  Moreover, in the past, even the Youshui family was very kind to the villagers and always had an image of good people, so that their family did not suffer much in that period of the last century. Although most of the gold and silver in the family were handed over, some of the porcelain  There are still a lot of things like that left behind.  Of course, that¡¯s what I think. Only Lian Youshui¡¯s family knows the exact number, and outsiders can only make guesses.  The door was unlocked, so Chen Liujin went up and knocked on the door. After a while, a rural man in his fifties or sixties with a cane came and opened the door.  The uncle glanced at everyone and nodded to Chen Liujin: "Liujin is here, just come in." After saying that, he led everyone to the hall, but because of some problems with his legs and feet, he did not walk very well.  Unhappily, it took a full three to five minutes to get there.  Everyone was invited to take a seat. Although Chu Chen and others said you're welcome, the uncle was still a little stubborn and poured tea for everyone.  Next.  Chen Liujin introduced both parties, and no surprise.  The uncle is what Chen Liujin said about Lian Youshui.  "You guys sit down for a while, and I'll go get the things out." Seeing Lian Youshui walking out unsteadily.  Chu Chen asked: "Why is he the only one living here? Can an old man do it if his legs and feet are inconvenient?" "The old man is stubborn." Chen Liujin said: "His children have now bought houses in the city.  , the old fat man got sick and passed away the year before last, and his son asked him to live in the city, but he was not happy, saying that he wanted to look after the old house. Some time ago, he broke his leg, and he didn't even call his children, saying that it was okay.  It¡¯s too troublesome. But it¡¯s precisely because of this that he thought of selling things to raise money to treat his legs.¡± Hearing that this was the case, everyone really didn¡¯t know what to say.  However, Chu Chen felt that if it were him, he would not worry about the old man living here alone, and he would have to hire a nanny to take care of him no matter what.  But then again, even with a personality like You Shui's, his children might have to turn down a nanny for him.  After a while, Lian Youshui came back carrying a bag.  He put the bag on the table and said, "Just these two things, you can take a look." Everyone took the things out of the bag without being polite.  First, what Qiao Qingtai took out was an Arhat statue.  This is a kneeling posture, sitting frontally, with bare chest and abdomen, and is very thin.  It's a skeletal Arhat.  This Arhat statue is made using the method of using colored lacquer, which is also called Jia Shu or Niu Zhi.  As a method of painting statues.  First, use clay to shape the tire, and then use paint to stick linen cloth on the outside of the mud tire; wait for the paint to dry.  It is repainted many times and is made through dozens of processes such as polishing and decoration.  Finally, the mud tire was emptied out, so it is also known as the "empty image".  The lacquerware produced using this process is light, thin-walled, delicate, and round in shape.  The lacquer ware is mostly used in the production of Buddha statues. It is not afraid of water immersion, can withstand high temperatures, and is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion. It is also called bodiless lacquer ware.  Its exquisite and vivid production craftsmanship, as thin as paper, and as light as a feather make people marvel and suspect that it is a divine craftsmanship.  And because the texture is very light, it is also called "Xingxiang".  Judging from the craftsmanship and patina of this Arhat statue, it should have been made in the early Qing Dynasty. However, because the production was not so sophisticated and the preservation was not very good, its market value is only 10,000 yuan.  The other thing is a blue and white cup. This cup is extremely regular in shape, with the six-character "Made in the Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" in regular script in a double circle of blue and white at the bottom.  The rim of the cup is round and round, and the exposed area shows the unparalleled whiteness of Kangxi porcelain, which complements the jade-like enamel.  The body of the cup is painted with Bagua patterns, which complement the yin and yang diagram on the inner bottom. The outer wall near the foot is decorated with sea wave patterns, and the lines are drawn like gossamer, which shows that the painter has extraordinary skills.  The blue and white hair color is bright and gorgeous, which is the typical emerald blue of the Kangxi period.  The Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram is a schematic diagram used by Chinese people to explain the origin of heaven, earth, nature, and all things. It represents the core essence of our country¡¯s traditional philosophy.  Therefore, although the decoration of this cup is simple, the expression is very profound. It is an exquisite work of the blue and white cup during the Kangxi period.  Judging from the workmanship and appearance of this cup, the market value is a bit more expensive, but it is only worth about 50,000 at most. It is really not the windfall that Qiao Qingtai mentioned before.     catchWhen they got down, everyone started talking about the price. Even the price for water was not high, the two items totaled only 20,000 yuan. Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai were not profiteers. Three times the profit was not bad for them, so it was just symbolic.  After repaying the offer, the two parties concluded the deal.  At this time, Chen Liujin said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Lian, I heard that you still have a few treasures at home. Can you take them out for us to appreciate?" Unexpectedly, Lian Youshui directly waved his hand and said: "  No more. Except for these two items, everything else has been sold out. I used to buy a house for my children, so I sold all those items to raise money for the house. " I heard that Lian Youshui said that there was nothing left to sell, so Qiao Qingtai used it.  Glancing at Chen Liujin, Chen Liujin knew what Qiao Qingtai meant. He was asking if he had lied to him on the phone before.  Chen Liujin gave Qiao Qingtai an innocent look, which meant that of course he did not lie to Qiao Qingtai, and there was no need to do so. Apart from anything else, he would get a commission after the transaction was completed, so no matter what he did, he would not  I have trouble with money.  So, Chen Liujin smiled and handed Lian Youshui a good cigarette, lit Lian Youshui's cigarette and said, "Uncle Lian, I, an elder, came here specially to buy goods. He is from our Jiangcheng antique store."  This! The price is also very good. Why don't you bring out one or two items to show him? The items are good and the price will not be unfair to you." Lian Youshui hesitated and said, "Six pounds, my family.  You really don¡¯t have any antiques. If you do, why don¡¯t you sell them for a few bucks to treat your feet? You see, I¡¯m so injured, and I¡¯m afraid the money won¡¯t be enough.¡± ¡°Okay, you¡¯re thinking about it.  Think about it!" Chen Liujin didn't say anything more and took everyone to say goodbye to Lian Youshui.  Not long after walking out of the door, Qiao Qingtai asked: "Xiao Chen, he really doesn't have anything left?" Chen Liujin smiled and shook his head: "That's definitely impossible. He did this because he was afraid of low prices;  People in the village are jealous. Rumors about his family¡¯s many antiques have spread throughout the village, so much so that when someone quarreled with his wife a few years ago, they scolded her for making a fortune by selling her ancestors¡¯ things, which was shameful.  I have also inquired about it. Although he has sold a lot of his antiques, I am sure that there are still many pieces at home, including many treasures at the bottom of the box. "Hu Yong asked curiously after hearing this: "In that case, then.  Why did we come out?" Chu Chen chuckled and explained to Hu Yong, "Hu Yong, this is because you are inexperienced. When encountering this kind of thing, we always retreat in order to advance. Do you understand?  , you still want to say yes, and finally ask him to slap himself in the face and take out the things? This is obviously impossible based on his character, so we have to give people time to think about it. "Hu Yong said: "Then when will we do it?  Just come here? Tomorrow?" Chen Liujin smiled when he heard this: "Of course it's impossible. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has treasures, and there are more than one or two. This is a big fish, how can he take it away?  Run away? Moreover, the most important thing for us to be able to buy good products is to be quick and slow. If you want to catch a big fish, you can't be too hasty or slow, otherwise if other cats smell it, you can't.  It's easy for accidents to happen. I guess this is not what everyone wants to see, right?" Everyone laughed.  "Then when will we come back?" "Haha, let's pad our stomachs first. Only when we are full can we have the strength to work." Chen Liujin patted his stomach.  Qiao Qingtai looked at the time and said a little speechlessly: "Xiao Chen, it's not even ten o'clock yet, what kind of food are you eating?" Chen Liujin smacked his lips and said, "I can't help it. I'm in a hurry this morning, so I'll just eat it."  After eating ten buns, my stomach is already growling with hunger. If I don¡¯t eat, I can hardly walk. How can I still have the energy to work?¡± After hearing this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but look at each other. After a while, Qiao Qingtai smiled bitterly.  He shook his head and said, "Well, I have nothing to say when I meet a loser like you. Just tell me where to eat." Chen Liujin chuckled and said, "Let's eat the farm food here today.  The taste is so amazing, my mouth is watering just thinking about it, let¡¯s go! I¡¯ll take you over to try it¡± (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!?¡­
