After a while, the car stopped and the place it came to was very close to Temple Street. Because he had been there once, Jiahao felt that it was not unfamiliar.

"Xiao Yao, let's go down. Just follow me later and pay more attention to the surrounding situation." Uncle Jiang greeted with a smile, "In the antique business, you have to look more and buy less. Only when you are sure can you make a move.

, otherwise it will be too late to regret if you buy the wrong thing. When you first come to 'Jianbaozhai', we will not let you collect things alone, especially expensive and heavy items. Also, a very important point,

If you are new here, you should get to know more friends in the industry so that you can get a wider range of information."

"I know, Uncle Jiang." Jiahao happily agreed.

Everything Uncle Jiang said was true. He was new to the antique business. Not only did he not know the rules very well, but besides Lin Haitao and a few others, he didn't know anyone else. It was not easy to find good treasures in a small circle.

But it all depends on people. After a long time, you will naturally get into the industry.

Later, Jiahao, led by Uncle Jiang, walked to an antique shop on the roadside. It was the "Boguxuan" that wanted to transfer the "Jun Porcelain Brush Wash".

In the store, I saw two men standing there, with different expressions on their faces, as if they were anxiously waiting for something.

As soon as Uncle Jiang stepped into the threshold, one of the middle-aged men hurriedly walked up to him.

Walking into the store, Jiahao found that this store was not upscale at all compared to "Jianbaozhai". It was just a relatively ordinary antique store. The things on the shelves on both sides didn't seem to be tidied up at first glance, giving people a sense of

A mixed feeling.

The middle-aged man who greeted Uncle Jiang first was probably the store owner. He looked like he was in his fifties, and his face was full of wrinkles, which made him look a bit older. The man who looked like a young boy who followed him closely behind was still very young, but not too old.

He looks about twenty-four or five years old. He is very tall, but as skinny as a stick, with a somewhat bowed back. He is in low spirits and has a rather wretched expression.

"...Master Jiang, please come this way. The things are ready, so I'd like to invite you to take a look." The middle-aged man said enthusiastically, and led Jiahao and the others into an inner room.

The area here is very narrow and the light is very dim. Jiahao feels that it is not suitable to appraise an antique in such a place, but he does not have to worry about anything because he knows that Uncle Jiang has excellent eyesight and he usually does not

Misreading.

"Boss Zhou, why didn't you talk to Boss Fu about that drum nail three-legged brush washer?" Uncle Jiang suddenly asked in a calm tone.

The middle-aged man replied solemnly: "Hey, stop talking, the negotiation didn't work out! After all, Boss Fu is not a person in our antique business. He doesn't follow the rules. He clearly agreed to change hands for three million, but he changed hands halfway.

He changed his mind and said that he would only sell me 2 million, but he would not sell me 2.5 million as a co-writer, so why sell him 2 million?! I will never deal with this kind of person again, there is no integrity!"

"Oh, so that's it." Uncle Jiang said with a sudden realization, "Not everyone agrees on the rules of the antique shop. From now on, we should do business with the right talents."

"Isn't that right?" Boss Zhou nodded in agreement, "You will learn a lot from the experience. Master Jiang, will your 'Jianbao Zhai' accept my stuff?"

"Take it." Uncle Jiang replied without hesitation.

"What about the price? Is it still the one you negotiated with me before?" Boss Zhou asked immediately.

Uncle Jiang said solemnly: "As long as the item is right, the price is easily negotiable."

"Of course! If it's fake, it's the original Jun Kiln porcelain. In fact, you've already seen it!" Boss Zhou said with a beaming smile, while making a gesture to the young man standing next to him respectfully.

With his eyes, he motioned for him to get something.

The man understood, and quickly and carefully took out a piece of porcelain from a box. The porcelain was simple and elegant, with azure color. It looked like a small disk with a tripod under it, forming an impressive "three-legged" form.

Before the things were placed on the coffee table, Jia Hao noticed that the surface of the porcelain was faintly emitting a white light, indicating that the thing was precious and should be a good thing with a certain age.

Turning on the historical reappearance function of the detector, in the blink of an eye, the aura emanating from the three-legged pen washer gathered in front of Jahao's eyes and began to play the image.

Watching the "movie" played backwards with full concentration, Jiahao understood the ins and outs of the Jun porcelain. It was indeed an official kiln porcelain from the Song Dynasty, but there was a huge problem.

"It turns out that the three-legged pen washer was damaged by that fat man, and one of the legs was broken! Now they have pasted it up with strong glue. Are they trying to deceive Uncle Jiang?!" Jiahao was secretly shocked.

Jiahao saw through the trick on the Jun porcelain pen washer at a glance. There was something wrong with that thing. One of the bases was originally broken by someone, but now it has been pasted together. At first glance, it really doesn’t look good.

Soon, Jiahao figured out the clues and knew that Boss Zhou and others were deceiving Uncle Jiang. They wanted to sell the porcelain that was not worthy of the name to "Jianbao Zhai" at a high price to make a profit from it.

After knowing this situation, Jiahao felt angry and anxious at the same time. He didn't know if Uncle Jiang would fool his boss and the others last week. This was obviously a trap carefully designed by them, just waiting for someone to take advantage of it.

Unfortunately, their plan was completely seen through by Jiahao at the beginning, and nothing could escape his eyes.

Faced with such a fake and high-priced ancient porcelain, Jiahao would naturally not stand idly by. If Uncle Jiang didn't notice it later, he would find a way to prevent the other party from acquiring it.

After figuring it out, Jiahao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If his eyes didn't have the special ability to see through the ins and outs of antiques, then they might all be kept in the dark by Boss Zhou and other people with evil intentions.

At this moment, Boss Zhou and the others did not notice the strange look on Jiahao's face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

By observing words and expressions, Jiahao discovered that there was a difference in the eyes of Boss Zhou and the boy, indicating that there was something wrong in their hearts.

"Master Jiang, haha, the things haven't changed, have they?" Boss Zhou pointed at the pen washer placed on the coffee table and said with a smile, "As for the Jun porcelain piece you saw, I have thought about it now. Since you need it,

Then I have to give up my love to you despite the pain."

"Boss Zhou, thank you for your love." Uncle Jiang said politely, "To tell you the truth, I really like this kind of Jun porcelain."

He glanced left and right and seemed to find no problem. He just nodded slightly, as if to express acquiescence.

"Master Jiang, when is it convenient for you to discuss this business? The things are here, intact." Boss Zhou smiled hurriedly.

Uncle Jiang replied calmly: "Boss Zhou, don't worry, as long as the things are right, you can make a deal anytime."

Hearing what he said, Boss Zhou and the boy next to him couldn't help but glance at each other. Although their actions were very subtle, Jiahao saw it. Seeing the look of panic in the other two's eyes, he knew that they

I feel a little confused.

"Uncle Jiang is really an experienced appraiser. He didn't just agree to Boss Zhou casually!" Jiahao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Uncle Jiang believed his first impression and never gave up carelessly.

After careful inspection, I didn't realize that the other person's thoughts were more delicate than I thought.

Therefore, Jiahao felt a little relieved at the moment, believing that Uncle Long would not be deceived so easily.

"Master Jiang, you...what do you mean?" Boss Zhou pretended to be calm and said, "You still can't believe me? Besides, the things are here now, and I gave them to you before.

The one you are looking at is exactly the same, right?”

"I know." Uncle Jiang nodded solemnly, "But after all, it is worth millions of things, and I have to be responsible for our store. Boss Zhou, the light in this room is too dark, can you take the things out and take a closer look?

?”

Boss Zhou said: "It's very inconvenient to go out. I have already announced to the outside world that the things have been sold. If someone sees it, people will tell you. Just take a look here. I will provide you with a flashlight."

Already."

"Oh, okay then." Uncle Jiang nodded and agreed. It seemed that he didn't think much about it, but Jiahao, who was standing aside and watching what happened, couldn't help but become a little anxious again. Boss Zhou was very cunning.

He came up with various reasons in order to create an environment where people could not see the subtle flaws.

Then Boss Zhou asked the young man to bring a flashlight. It was a pocket-sized flashlight. It had a very small charge and was not very bright. However, Uncle Jiang was not picky. Instead, he held the flashlight confidently and made a careful appraisal.

.

"Master Jiang, let me pick it up and show it to you. You have to look at it carefully. You have actually identified this thing last time. You must know better than us what it is like." Boss Zhou said seriously. After finishing speaking,

He carefully picked up the Jun porcelain brush washer with both hands.

Jiahao's sharp eyes immediately saw that Boss Zhou's right thumb gently pressed next to the foot in question to cover the break. Although the glue and techniques they used when re-pasting were very

It is superb and perfectly done, but no matter what, small marks are inevitable. If it is shown to ordinary people, it may be difficult to see the flaw at once, but for an appraiser with excellent skills like Uncle Long, no matter how subtle it is,

Problems can be identified.

Then, Uncle Jiang used a flashlight to shine on the brush, and with the dim light of the electric light, he examined it in detail.

There was nothing wrong with the first place he looked at, so Boss Zhou was not nervous. But when he saw the fracture of the foot, he suddenly said: "It is rare to see Jun porcelain that is so completely preserved nowadays."

Oh! Look at the drum nails, the earthworms walking on the mud patterns, and the opening, how natural they are!"

"Indeed, a very open piece of Jun porcelain!"

While the two of them were talking, with Uncle Jiang's flashlight shining in his direction, Boss Zhou had already neatly turned the thin foot away, successfully avoiding Uncle Jiang's gaze.

"How cunning!"

Although Uncle Jiang didn't notice that detail, Jiahao, who was standing quietly and watching attentively, had a panoramic view and sighed in his heart: "This week's boss is really an old fox, he knows how to distract Uncle Jiang's attention with words.

!”

Seeing that Boss Zhou had deceived Uncle Jiang, Jiahao was helpless. For a moment, he couldn't stand up and pointed out the problem with the thing, so he could only wait for an opportunity to act.

"Boss Zhou, I've taken a look at everything, it should be fine."

After reading it, Uncle Jiang said with a smile: "Well, I'll call right away and ask someone to deliver the check. What do you think? Are you ready?"

"Okay!" Boss Zhou nodded quickly and agreed, "I can make this deal with you at any time."

Uncle Jiang actually made a decision like that. Jiahao on the side was worried, but he quite understood Uncle Jiang's mood. The boss was willing to give in to an important weapon that he originally wanted, so of course he had to get it as soon as possible.

To prevent the other party from changing their mind.

"Uncle Jiang—" Uncle Long took out his cell phone and was about to call someone. At this moment, Jiahao couldn't bear it anymore and immediately took a step forward and softly greeted Uncle Jiang.

"Xiao Yao, what's wrong?" Seeing Jiahao's serious look, Uncle Jiang couldn't help but asked in surprise.

Jiahao secretly winked at Uncle Jiang, and the other party understood, so he followed him to the door.

"Xiao Yao, did you see something? It doesn't matter, just tell me." Uncle Jiang said, "You are now an appraiser of 'Jianbaozhai', and that Jun porcelain was collected by our store.

, you have the right to express your opinion."

Jiahao replied seriously: "I don't have any objections, it's just...how do I put it? I have seen the same kind of porcelain before, and it is also three-legged. When I was looking at the three-legged brush washer just now, I always felt like

Is there something wrong? Is the problem in the foot? But we haven’t looked carefully, so we can’t be sure.”

He was making insinuations. In order not to arouse Uncle Jiang's suspicion, he could not directly point out the problem with the pen washer. Instead, he could only point out the problem and remind Uncle Jiang. This was actually enough. As long as Uncle Jiang carefully inspected the problem,
To be continued...
