Besides, Uncle De, as one of the "treasure appraisal" with a senior and skilled seniority in pawn shops, he still has a deep skill in appraisal of calligraphy and painting. Therefore, when a mortgagor uses calligraphy and painting to mortgage things, Lin Yi will often take the initiative to invite him, the "great god" to come forward to "appraise the treasure"; at this time, Uncle De will hold the shelf, raise his chin, walk in all directions, and stand out proudly like the big guys in the movie.

After appearing, I will say first: "Kobayashi, what kind of baby is this time?"

Lin Yi would respond respectfully, "It is a certain calligraphy and painting work, so please ask the old man to appraise it."

After this routine, he completed the task successfully and satisfied Uncle De's indulge in vain.

A psychologist once said that the reason why people pursue is often because they lack something before.

The reason why old man likes to be respected is that he was cruel when he was an apprentice when he was a child.

At that time, he was about teenage years old, like a beggar, and learned from an old man who had worked as a court servant in a pawn shop. The old man was not a good thing, he liked to abuse children, and even beat and scolded his apprentice, asking Uncle De to help him take his shit and urine. That was not counting. If he was not satisfied, he would smoke it hard with a cigarette pot. Now the two scars on Uncle De’s forehead were left by the old man after he beat him.

Because of this, Uncle De is very picky and strict about taking disciples. In this way, who can stand him? Especially Uncle De is used to the feudal style of the old society. Although he doesn’t beat and scold his apprentice, he doesn’t want to ask his apprentice to serve him tea, water, massage and massage his back. No one is willing to do it. Especially those young people, their self-esteem is stronger now than the other. If you ask him to massage his back, he wants you to help him beat him.

This time, Lin Yi came to the business department and was considered a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Uncle De was worried that no one would repair it. Who would have thought that Lin Yi's other identity would be the "second shopkeeper" of this pawn shop, and he didn't expect that Lin Yi was also very good at appraising old books.

At this time, Lin Yi took the mortgaged manuscript and looked at it again and again, but he didn't ask Uncle De to come forward to appraise the treasure. To be precise, he completely forgot Uncle De, the "great god" behind his forehead.

Uncle De was so distressed that he was staring behind him, but Lin Yi remained silent, just holding the manuscript and looking left and right.

Do you understand? Do you know how to watch it? Why are you pretending to be a dumb? Uncle De complained all over, thinking that Lin Yi was deliberately trying to save his face.

...

On this side, Lin Yi calmed down and was about to take a closer look at this rare handwritten copy of the Diamond Sutra. At this moment, a cough came from behind him.

Uncle De appeared behind Lin Yi very much.

Lin Yi understood that he had made a mistake and had to hand it over to Uncle De to identify it when he got such calligraphy and painting. He almost forgot his "new identity" and was just an "apprentice". He was not qualified to stand in front of the counter and help the guests appraisal treasures so "blatantly".

"Uncle De, this is a hand-copied Diamond Sutra. Otherwise, come and help me." Lin Yi picked up the routine and said respectfully.

Then Uncle De held a very extraordinary look and walked forward, saying, "Let me see."

The big skewer brother saw an old man and thought to himself that this ability was probably a little higher. Look, his beard turned white.

Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine, treasure appraisal, and fortune-telling are the more popular they become as old as they are, and the more likely they are to be regarded as "experts".

Uncle De ignored the excited and slightly admiring look of the big brother of skewers. He saw this look more often, especially when he told the source and value of the treasure in one word, the look would be even more radiant and extremely hot.

Lin Yi just smiled at Uncle De’s pretentiousness. Uncle Kang, who had long regarded him as his "loving disciple", gave Lin Yi a look and let him go. He was so angry that he couldn’t change it.

Uncle De took the hand-copied Diamond Sutra and looked carefully. He saw that in addition to the full name of the Diamond Sutra, the home page also had the words "Anyang Ye Lao" and the handwriting was beautiful, neat and serious.

Uncle De secretly compared the original work, and it was exactly the same word, which shows how pious and serious the copyist was. According to the content of the scriptures, the copying of "Anyang Ye Lao" only lacked the title of chapters, namely: the Dharma Assembly is divided into first, the Good News invites the second, and the Mahayana authenticity is divided into third.

The last page contains the words "Old Ye of Anyang bathed and washed his hands and kept writing in the first month of Wushen year". There are two small seals on the bottom: one is the seal of "Rong" in Yin, and the other is the seal of "A" in Yang. There is a seal in front of the book, "The seal of calligraphy and painting in Yuan Family Treasures", I don't know who it is.

Uncle De has always been very careful and serious in identifying calligraphy and paintings. However, this time, some of them are the main reason to teach Lin Yi a lesson and let him not be disrespectful, so he pretended to be kind and said to Lin Yi: "Little Linzi, you have been like me for about seven or eight days. Have you learned what I taught you?"

Lin Yi: “…”

I'm dizzy, you didn't teach anything, I'll learn to be a bird.

"No, Uncle De, that I..."

Before Lin Yi finished speaking, Uncle De interrupted him and said, "Then you can help identify the source of this book. If you can identify it, it means you are a talented person. If you can't identify it, then I advise you to make another way to make a living early..."

Obviously, this is deliberately making things difficult for Lin Yi. Seeing that the ten-day appointment has arrived, I don’t want to lose the bet.

Lin Yi was so amused that he was rushing the duck to put it on the shelves. Are he afraid?

Uncle Kang next to him had to speak, "Xiao Yi, just try it, just follow what you have learned... This profession can be understood in one subject, everything."

Uncle Kang clearly had something in his words. Uncle De couldn't help glaring at him, and the meaning was very obvious. Shut up, old guy.

Lin Yi smiled and took the handwritten copy again. He knew that Uncle De was going to take the exam, but he was not at all nervous. There was no way. He was a bookworm himself and was so familiar with books.

However, Lin Yi had not had much contact with the manuscript before, and it was still a bit difficult for him to tell the source of the book in one go. However, according to the Jinshi appraisal that Uncle Kang learned during this period, he began to identify the book.

What to identify?

Identify the seal on it.

Don’t forget that seals are also a kind of identification of gold and stone.

Two small seals: one is the seal of the word "Rong" in Yin, and the other is the seal of the word "A" in Yang.

Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled. This time he did not use his superpowers. He was lucky enough to see the source of these two seals by relying solely on his newly learned knowledge of gold and stone identification.

"Rong'an" is undoubtedly a person's name. Combined with the lines of words "Old Ye of Anyang bathed and washed his hands and kept writing in the first year of Wushen year" and "the seal of calligraphy and painting in the Yuan family's treasures", Lin Yi can boldly affirm that the author of the hand-copied "Diamond Sutra" is the famous---Yuan Shikai!
