Chapter 341 Chapter 341 Pawn Shop

"So, to be an excellent collector, not only should you have profound knowledge and the ability to identify objects with a sharp eye, but most importantly, you need to have a good character." Uncle Zhou Fugui concluded , "It's a pity. Now that the society is declining and people's hearts are not old, it is really difficult to achieve such a situation. Sigh!..." That long sigh seemed to reach everyone's hearts. In addition, Jia Sidao's side is reading a book with fascination. However, when Ah San and the others talk, when the voice is a little louder, they can still hear a few words, especially, this meeting A few people talked about him, even though Uncle Zhou Fugui and Ah San were very familiar with him, but when they praised him, they still made Jia Sidao feel a little embarrassed up.

So Jia Sidao could only pretend to concentrate and continue reading his book. When the topics of several people were staggered at first, Jia Sidao closed the "Shuo Ci" in his hand, walked up to Uncle Zhou Fugui, and said, "Uncle Zhou, this book is very important to me. I have a lot of experience. I think it is still necessary to read more carefully. You see, can you store it with me for a few days first, and I will return it after reading it... I will definitely treat it carefully of." As if he was afraid that Uncle Zhou Fugui would not agree, Jia Sidao added one last sentence while speaking.On the contrary, Uncle Zhou Fugui beamed and said, "Okay, okay, okay. I can't worry about borrowing books, Xiao Jia."

"Dad, it seems that your baby also treats different people differently." Ali gave Zhou Fugui an angry look, and said, "A while ago, my classmate wanted to borrow money from you." You haven't agreed to this book..." "You know how to make trouble." Zhou Fugui patted Ali on the shoulder and said, "Your classmate, I think he is a speculative peddler, and he just wants to find some old ones from my book. The trick. Tell me, can I lend him such a good book?" Seeing A Li, he was speechless immediately. Uncle Zhou Fugui naturally understood that what A Li said just now was nothing more than trying to argue with him, and she didn't mean to be angry on purpose. The father and daughter had a tacit understanding There are still.

However, Uncle Zhou Fugui glanced at the other young people beside him, and said earnestly: "In today's world, prosperity is like a dream, the world is noisy, people's hearts are floating, fish and dragons are mixed. To put it bluntly, it is materialistic. The tide of the times has brought spiritual distortion and cultural alienation to people. At the same time, it has also brought depression, loneliness and indifference in negative emotions, making people restless, vain and selfish. I am not here I want to say some warning words for fame, but our ancient Chinese civilization is indeed undergoing a thorough baptism, and it is exuding bursts of pain. At my age, it is not considered old. Old, if you say young, you are not young. So..."

"Dad, who said you're not young anymore." Ali muttered beside her. "Hehe. Little girl, Dad, I am still a young man in your eyes. Otherwise, why do you always fight against Dad?" Zhou Fugui originally had a serious expression, but after passing It was a lot easier for Ali to interrupt like this. "That's not it..." Ali lowered her head and muttered. "Whether it's true or not, it's beyond my generation's ability to change this terrible situation." Uncle Zhou Fugui's ears are sharp, even if Ali's voice is very soft, he is still heard He heard, "Of course, it's too broad, maybe, I can't control it. But, the chairman, the old man said well, the world belongs to you young people after all. I can't control other people , but the people around you should be promoted and reminded a lot, right?"

"Papa papa..." Before Uncle Zhou Fugui finished speaking, Ah San applauded beside him. "Uncle Zhou, I really didn't notice the gully in your chest at ordinary times." Ah San said, "If Second Grandpa knew that you had a dream in your heart, he would regret that he didn't teach you well in the early years. .” "Hehe, I don't have any hatred for the old man." Uncle Zhou Fugui smiled wryly, even if he had exposed it.However, Jia Sidao next to him could tell from Uncle Zhou Fugui's words that the relationship between Zhou Fugui and Wei Erye might not be that simple, right?

And what Zhou Fugui said earlier about poor comprehension and the like may have hit the point.However, Jia Sidao didn't think that just such a reason directly led Uncle Zhou Fugui to switch to jasper collection. It's just that Uncle Zhou Fugui didn't talk about it himself, Ah San also kept a secret about such topics, and Jia Sidao was no better than a villain, so at this time, let's bring this up. "Besides, in recent years, I have been quite reluctant to leave my collection of jasper." When Xu Shi mentioned Uncle Zhou Fugui's own preferences and his own pride, the smile on his face became brighter. , "You know, I have a few things on hand, but even the old man is full of praise."

"That's it, that's it." Ah San casually gave a flattery, and said, "I don't even look at who you are, Uncle Zhou, you can make a name for yourself in whatever line you enter." "You boy..." Uncle Zhou Fugui shook his head slightly when he heard the words, and said, "No matter what kind of collection it is, it's not easy. In today's society, most people are chasing The brilliant appearance, but little attention to the emptiness of people's hearts, shrewd calculations, impetuous pursuits, and even cheap flattery everywhere, but they forget to be down-to-earth; some experts in the industry are flaunting themselves lamely , and the inability to express oneself and the obsession with money?"

Regarding this point, not only people in the industry like Jia Sidao and Ah San, but even people like Xiaoqian, who are still ignorant of antique collection, nodded slightly.This is not only the case of antique collectors, but also other walks of life have similar situations. As a kind of overall lack of the times, no industry can be completely exempt from vulgarity, but completely free from the smell and utilitarian stains of commodities.The so-called indifference to reputation, seeing simplicity and simplicity, adhering to the purity and tranquility of the heart, and focusing on the ordinary life of following things and nature has become a rare sight.

This is not something that a few people can change. "By the way, Uncle Zhou. What will happen to others, or what will become after entering the collection industry. For the time being, it's hard to say, and it's too far away for novices like us." Jia Sidao said, "Even if there is a close one, it is nothing more than a bargain with the hawkers on the antique street. Or, just to see if the things you collect are old, and every time you sell them, is it right?" 'Punching eyes'. These, in fact, can still be avoided as much as possible by relying on the gradual growth of one's eyesight and the improvement of knowledge reserves."

"Indeed, it's important to collect a line, but it's about looking more and buying less." Ah San nodded. "So, I was thinking, while Uncle Zhou is so excited today, can he tell us about the collections of beginners, what should we pay attention to?" Jia Sidao looked at Zhou Fugui's rosy face, and couldn't help He asked, "You don't need to talk too deeply, just say something simple, we can use it quickly, that's it..." You know, in-depth knowledge, not to mention the young people who are just a little interested in collecting, even beginners like Jia Sidao and Ah San, compared with Uncle Zhou Fugui, there is a big gap of. Sometimes, time is a kind of qualifications! Therefore, as soon as Jia Sidao's words fell, the young people around him naturally looked forward to it. After all, although what Uncle Zhou Fugui said just now was very shocking, it also made the few people present feel rather shocked. The vigilance, but it is too far away. Not to mention the few people present, even some collectors, there is no special way to hear such things.This is not something that can be improved just by talking about it.It is really "the trend of the times"!what else can we do?If you are not in the stream, then you will be eliminated. People who like to collect, except those who rely on their ancestors to hand down some treasures, who doesn't hope that the things they collect will become more valuable day by day? As the saying goes, the demand of the market has created the current situation.What's more, things like making old things have existed since ancient times! "Hehe, actually, I don't have anything special to say about antique collection." Uncle Zhou Fugui thought about it for a while and said, "The most important thing about antique collection is that people have nothing and things are rare. Since Xiao Jia I brought it up, so let me tell you a fact. It was during the Cultural Revolution, when the "Four Olds" regarded antique calligraphy and paintings as feudal capital things, or smashed or destroyed them. A person in the north collected waste paper The old man Wang, who makes a living, charges everyone's calligraphy and paintings at a price of 25 cents per kilogram, which is similar to free gifts. At that time, his family members didn't understand this move very much, thinking that gold in troubled times is an antique in prosperous times.It is completely inappropriate to collect calligraphy and paintings of famous people at this time of the Cultural Revolution.Looking at it now, twenty-five cents is certainly a little less, but at that time, twenty-five cents, although not much, was still an expense. However, this old man Wang, who has not studied for a few days and has little education, thinks that in the time of peace and prosperity, people will think of collecting antique calligraphy and paintings, so the prices of antique calligraphy and paintings will definitely rise.At that time, even if you want to receive some calligraphy and paintings of famous people, you still won’t be able to receive them. So, after the Cultural Revolution ended, he took out a few calligraphy and paintings casually, and made a lot of money. For a while, the story of Old Man Wang became a topic of discussion among people in the antique collection circle... Speaking of this, I don't know if you guys have any insights? " "Uncle Zhou, your example is really just right." About a moment later, Jia Sidao nodded and said, "The most important thing about antique collection is that no one else has it. According to your own interests and hobbies, as long as you like it, then naturally it has the value you like. If you don’t like it, no matter how high the value is, it has nothing to do with you. Not only in porcelain, but in The same is true for jadeite, calligraphy and painting." "Well said." Ah San nodded, and said, "Because of this, we should pay more attention to the category of our interests. Let's just talk about me, because the liking for porcelain is relatively deep in itself. Moreover, my second grandfather is also a lover of porcelain collection, so when I usually look for things in the antique street, I mainly look at porcelain. As for the others, what kind of bronze wares Ah, calligraphy and painting, etc., can be regarded as slightly involved, but not very deep. If you encounter a good quality, you will naturally take a look at it. If you don’t like it, you will rarely pay attention to it. .” "Well, I also like porcelain." The young man next to him was originally looking for any good porcelain and was planning to collect it. Hearing Ah San's words at this moment, he was naturally very excited. I was very excited, and I felt too late to meet each other, so I quickly walked to Ah San's side and said, "If you don't dislike it, in the future, if you have any good things, let's share it together, you Look, how is it?" "Oh, you mean, you are also a porcelain collector?" Ah San asked curiously. "I can only say that I am still a beginner." The young man said with a smile, "Miangui's surname is Zhao, and my first name is Yun. You can just call me Xiao Zhao, that's fine." "Hehe, you heard it just now, everyone calls me Ah San." Ah San is happy to make friends with people of similar age, especially likes to collect porcelain.If not, someone like Jia Sidao, who only met Ah San at a wine table, wouldn't be able to get along with him soon, right? "By the way, Xiao Zhao, this is Xiao Jia. Don't look at him as old as us, but his family background is very rich. Since Xiao Jia is here this time, it is indispensable. Xiao Jia is needed. Let's have a treat." Ah San pointed to Jia Sidao and said, "Xiao Jia, you don't have any objections, do you?" "You, you really don't mind playing tricks on me at all." Jia Sidao said helplessly, shrugged his shoulders, and said to Zhao Yun, "If you want to treat guests, you also need to check the time, right? Xiao Zhao, I think you are here This side of Antique Street looks a bit unfamiliar, don’t you come here rarely?” "Hehe, I'm really not very familiar with this area. However, I recently found a job, working in that pawn shop at the end of Antique Street. So, in the future, I should be more familiar with the side of Antique Street. , gradually getting familiar with it." Zhao Yun said with a smile. "Pawn shop?" Jia Sidao was taken aback for a moment, then he understood a little bit, nodded at Ah San, and the two exchanged eye contact, then Jia Sidao said to Zhao Yun, "We are still together if you dare. The pawn shop The people here, that is, the pawnbrokers, are all good at appraising. No wonder you and Ah San have such similar interests." "Xiao Jia, what you said is wrong. Anyway, I also like porcelain, isn't it? This is a very elegant thing." Ah San curled her lips and said, "Why do you say it out of your mouth? When it was time, there was a sense of congeniality?" "Hee hee, you said that yourself, Ah San." Xiaoqian who was next to her suddenly made a face at Ah San.The little girl didn't forget that Ah San used her words to run on her just now, "The smell is similar, cluck cluck..." "Hehe, Xiaoqian. You haven't started working for your boss yet, so now you're helping Xiao Jia? I don't know if your boyfriend will be angry if he finds out... "As she spoke, Ah San suddenly noticed something wrong with Xiaoqian's expression, and immediately ran away from where she was standing. Sure enough, just as Ah San expected, Xiaoqian stretched out her hand and hit him, but it was empty, so naturally she didn't want to give up.All of a sudden, they chased after Ah San, and the two started to quarrel. Jia Sidao looked at it, and could only smile and shook his head, chuckling to himself. And the other young people beside him may all be familiar with Xiaoqian.At this moment, Xiaoqian and Ah San chased after each other, naturally helping Xiaoqian intentionally or unintentionally.Who gave her the advantage of being a girl? Couldn't help but caused Ah San to roll her eyes one after another, and she was still calling wantonly: "You guys, you are all material who value sex and despise friends. Let's see if I will help you in porcelain Check it out... At that time, I will deliberately tell you that the real thing is fake, and the fake thing is real. I, I owe you all..." As a result, the atmosphere among everyone became more relaxed and freehand. "By the way, Uncle Zhou. After today, these broken porcelain pieces, you see, can you lend me here again, and continue to check carefully?" Zhao Yun didn't notice Ah San's movement, Instead, he kept his mind on the broken porcelain pieces spread out on the counter, "If possible, I can come here every afternoon or evening. If I think the shop in front takes up space, I can Go to the back of the store."
