Chapter 35 Preparing to go to the auction
When tea was served, Shen You curiously took a bite of the ancient osmanthus cake.
I can’t say it’s not delicious, but it’s a bit harsh.
The taste is not as good as modern improvements, nor is it as refined.
The tea is really good.
She asked: "Is tea sold here?"
"Yeah." Wen Zhi nodded.
Shen You immediately found the clerk and bought a pound of tea.
"The iron flower is almost over." The experience card is almost over.
Shen You looked across at the person sitting there with the view, and said seriously,
"You should have other reasons for coming to my shop."
Wen Zhi raised the corners of his lips, "Yes, you have to make sure that the business you do will not affect the stability of the world itself."
"I've confirmed it, no problem, unless you go back to ancient times to get nuclear bombs and guns."
There are three questions in Shen You's mind, "You really think highly of me."
Can she get those things?
"My store also has rules. I will not sell anything that cannot be traded."
Shen You saw that it was almost time and was ready to go back. In Wen Zhi's uncomprehending eyes, she opened the snakeskin bag and put all the large and small bags in,
She was dressed like a gentle woman from ancient times, but she was holding a woven bag that seemed to be in different layers.
".It's not like I can't help you find something."
Wen Zhi also guessed that she might not be able to come to Daqi at any time.
Shen You shook his head, "I have to take the pleasure of purchasing goods myself."
The whole street is filled with artifacts inherited from ancient times, brick by brick, which is of great significance to people studying her profession.
"Let's go." Shen You said, and then counted down silently.
The experience card time is reset to zero.
The scene in front of her suddenly disappeared, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already standing in her yard with a snakeskin bag on her shoulders.
Shen You couldn't wait to push the door open, enter the store, first turn off the rabbit light, and then take out the goodies in the bag.
Put them in different categories. Both the heads and the wooden carving boxes have a market and can be sold at a high price. They are not as eye-catching as the treasures that were previously traded.
Many of the rest are of interest to her and have no intention of selling them.
Silk products can give a glimpse of ancient techniques and are also helpful in restoring ancient artifacts that have been broken into pieces.
Yesterday, when she had time, she went to the collection museum, and Professor Li was talking to her about ancient silk weaving techniques.
It would also be good for her to help them.
Ordinary bosses of antique players can't afford so many treasures and antiquities, so it makes sense if they are collectors with accumulated experience in the circle.
Shen You took out the box containing pearls and put them on the phoenix hairpin first.
One inlay took more than an hour.
In the next few days, Shen You didn't even open the store, and [Daqi] also asked the system to put up a sign.
She wants to speed up the restoration because there is news about the auction from the Collectors Association.
In Xilu Study.
It is a preserved garden from ancient times, and is sometimes open to visitors. There is a place dedicated to auctions.
Those who come to participate are basically people from the circle, and people from outside need internal introductions.
Shen You asked. Although she had no qualifications, she had the reputation of donating Ru kiln porcelain, so she could send things to the auction.
It needs to be seen by an appraiser to make sure it is genuine and worth enough to be auctioned there.
The commission is determined based on the transaction price.
The commission is up to 20% for cheap items and 10% for expensive items.
She had to bring things over before the auction, so she had to get things done for Gu Shaoyu quickly.
Li Heng sent Liu Zheng to the shop again, but it still didn't open.
"Perhaps Shopkeeper Shen has something to deal with recently, so he left a letter to suspend business."
Seeing that His Highness was not in a good mood, Liu Zheng added, "This time, Shopkeeper Shen has left time for the next opening, which will be in five days." Li Heng stopped holding the pen.
Although he didn't speak, Liu Zheng had been following him for a long time, so how could he not notice it at all.
"Your Highness, where is the Zhao family?" Liu Zheng hesitated.
The women who were sent to the mansion were easy to deal with, but if they wanted the Zhao family to stand in line, they had to show their all.
He dared not say how a capable woman like Shopkeeper Shen would be willing to stay in Daqi Palace.
Li Heng raised his eyes, as if he had seen through what Liu Zheng had not said.
"Whatever you want to say, you can just say it."
Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "His Highness seems not to be very happy since that temple fair."
"Your Highness, you treat Shopkeeper Shen a little differently."
That day, His Highness first went to Shopkeeper Shen's shop.
Later, someone was suddenly sent to check the tea house and restaurant across the bridge. Shopkeeper Shen and a handsome man were very recognizable.
When I heard that the two of them went to the teahouse together and sat at the best viewing seat, His Highness's face didn't look good.
Not to mention that the man's identity information was not found later.
Li Heng smiled silently, "Yes."
He had never seen such a woman before, and it was normal for him to be tempted.
As long as he has her help, it doesn't matter whether he has the support of the Zhao family or not.
After another day and night, I finally repaired the hairpin.
I called Gu Shaoyu and agreed to pick it up the next morning.
After receiving the news, Gu Shaoyu immediately put off all the appointments that asked him to go out for drinks, fearing that he would miss something in the morning.
The next day, Shen You made himself a bowl of noodles and waited for Gu Shaoyu and others to arrive.
The appointment was at 10 o'clock, and Gu Shaoyu made the appointment. His sister arrived at 10:30, and she also brought a man in his thirties with her, saying he was an expert and could help take a look.
When Gu Shaoyu arrived, he told Shen You that he was sorry, but his sister had something to do and would be late.
Shen You didn't say anything, and she wasn't in a hurry.
It was just that connoisseur who looked at her store as soon as he came in and said that the bottles on the shelves were all fake.
"Yes, that's false. Didn't you see that Peppa Pig was next to you?"
Shen You's words made the man shut up.
When everyone arrived, she took out the box directly.
"It's exactly the same as before!" Gu Shaoyu gave Shen You a thumbs up, "Your skills are amazing!"
Gu Yue, who was originally dubious, also let out an exclamation when she saw the hairpin.
The thing was broken like that. She thought it would be good if it could be repaired to a certain extent, but its value would definitely be greatly reduced.
I didn't expect that it could be restored so perfectly.
Although Cao Xianpeng said that 100,000 would be enough to repair the disease, I still felt a little confused.
But she thanked her politely, "Thank you, Miss Shen."
Cao Xianpeng, a self-proclaimed expert, wore gloves and looked with a magnifying glass.
He didn't believe it. He had seen photos of broken things. How could they be repaired so well?
Could it be that someone made a high-quality fake?
Nowadays, the counterfeiting technology is very advanced, and it can be done even if the price of gold is tens of thousands of yuan.
That's for sure.
"Why don't I see something right?" Cao Xianpeng said.
Shen You sneered, "Okay, what do you think is wrong?"
"If it's the original antique hairpin, there will always be some traces after the original break is repaired, but I don't see any on this one."
What he said was clear and logical.
Hearing this, Gu Yue's face changed slightly.
She looked at it as her original one, but after all, Cao Xianpeng was an expert.
Antiques are a one-shot deal. In other words, as long as she takes the item out of the store, she has to admit it even if it is fake.
