Chapter 68 Bronze Cauldron
Xu Youyou returned to the hotel and opened the training session redemption page. The system rewarded her with a total of five training sessions. She thought she could learn five types of professional knowledge separately, but she did not expect that for the system, five hours was just one session.
There were many courses on the training course redemption page. Xu Youyou was almost spoiled for choice and finally chose antique training. She lay on the hotel bed and after confirming that she had entered the study, her head tilted and fell into a dark and sweet dream.
She thought in hindsight that, apart from other things, this training class was very useful as a hypnotic tool.
A middle-aged woman wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses appeared in front of her. Behind the woman was a projector screen: "The theme of today's lesson is: Identification and Appreciation of Bronze."
Maybe it was because it was a 1v1 small classroom teaching, maybe because the teacher taught so well, Xu Youyou listened attentively. At the end of the class, she was still unfinished, and her subsequent dreams were all filled with bronzes.
Xu Youyou woke up early the next morning, not feeling tired at all. She didn't bother to have breakfast, so she hurriedly wrote and drew in a small notebook, for fear that she would forget the knowledge learned in the training class if it was too late.
Xu Youyou finished her things in Gan Province and was not in a hurry to leave. It was a rare trip and it would be a pity not to appreciate the local customs and customs. So she found a local tour guide and took the group to have a good time in Gan Province.
The tour guide was quite attentive in his work and didn't try to trick people randomly. He seemed to have no other problems except for being a bit talkative.
"Ms. Xu, you seem to be in business by yourself. What kind of business are you in?" the tour guide asked curiously.
Ordinary people would probably think that Xu Youyou was a rich lady when they saw her. However, as soon as the people around her spoke, this misunderstanding was resolved, because the driver and bodyguards all called her "boss" instead of "young lady".
"Do some small business and resell antique jade." Xu Youyou said.
The tour guide shook his head: "With such a big battle around you, doing business is definitely not a small matter. The antique business is good. Speaking of which, my brother usually likes to do this. He runs around in the countryside. Many antique dealers like it. Find him to get the goods.”
Xu Youyou said casually: "If there is fate later, I can go to his place to see him."
The tour guide immediately said: "It's fate, our travel route happens to pass by him. You can go and look at the goods. I brought them there, and he can even give you a discount!"
Xu Youyou nodded helplessly.
On the third day of the small group tour, when the car passed a small village along National Road 227, it stopped without any warning.
The tour guide said enthusiastically: "Miss Xu, my brother's home is in this village. I called him in advance and he is waiting at home now."
The tour guide did not notice that the four bodyguards beside Xu Youyou changed from their previous lazy and leisurely attitude. They were now on alert and followed closely behind Xu Youyou.
There were not many people in the village, mainly the elderly and children. All the local young people seemed to have gone out to work, so Xu Youyou couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw the so-called "good brother" of the tour guide.
"You have a lot of brothers." Xu Youyou said.
The house they lived in was a single-story residence, covering an area of more than 100 square meters. There was no floor or cement on the ground, and the ground was dirty and looked very dirty.
In this house of more than 100 square meters, five or six young and strong men suddenly ran out, and the bodyguards behind Xu Youyou almost took action directly.
The tour guide hurriedly said: "It's hard to find jobs in the countryside, so a few people started a business together. Miss Xu, please come and take a look. They are full of good things."
The house faces south and north, and is divided into east and west sides. However, the door to the west side is tightly closed, and there are some subtle movements from time to time inside. Xu Youyou just glanced over there, and the faces of the tour guide and his brother There was a flash of nervousness.
Xu Youyou stepped on the soft soil in the house and followed them into the east room obediently. There were indeed many antiques inside. There are both paintings and calligraphy, porcelain, and some bronzes.
Xu Youyou doesn't know much about calligraphy and painting, but she can understand porcelain. Although it is signed Qianlong and Yongzheng, it is actually a modern product.
"This is the Qianlong colored powder hollow auspicious bottle..." the tour guide's good brother just started.
Xu Youyou frowned and corrected: "It's pastel, not colored powder. This is a Qianlong pastel hollowed-out Ji Qing You Yu Zhuan Xin vase."
The tour guide was not embarrassed at all that his good friend said the wrong thing. Instead, he clapped his hands and said: "Miss Xu, you said such a long name in one breath, which shows that you are an expert, so you have to treat this person well." Get a price estimate for the bottle.”
"Do you really want me to do the valuation?" Xu Youyou asked with a half-smile.
The tour guide nodded vigorously and said: "There was a buyer who offered one million before, but my brother didn't sell it to him because he thought it was too little."
Xu Youyou raised her chin slightly and stretched out her hand to turn the inner bottle of the bottle: "You also need to be logical when telling stories. When the inner bottle of the rotating bottle is rotated, different scenes can be seen from the outer holes, just like a revolving lantern. You guys Why don’t you choose a simple fake? ”
Following Xu Youyou's movements, the inner bottle did rotate, but there were no paintings on the inner bottle.
The tour guide smiled awkwardly and said: "It seems that my brother made a mistake."
Xu Youyou knows the rules of their kind of business. The first item to be sold is actually a test. Only when the buyer passes the test will the truly good things come out. However, she feels that their test is too rough. Like a fool.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Sure enough, they saw that Xu Youyou was not interested in the antiques on site, so they mysteriously took out something covered in red cloth.
"Bronze, I wonder if the boss understands it?" the tour guide said.
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up. She had only learned about bronzeware for five hours, and she was worried that she had nowhere to show her talents. Now she felt that she was terribly strong, so she still said extremely modestly: "I understand a little bit."
The other party uncovered the red cloth, revealing a bronze square tripod about thirty centimeters high.
Xu Youyou put away her scornful attitude and her expression became serious.
The tour guide felt happy when he saw her like this.
"Do you have a toothbrush? Another glass of water." Xu Youyou asked.
Immediately, someone brought a brand new toothbrush over. After Xu Youyou took it, she wanted to brush it with some water.
The tour guide immediately stopped him: "Miss Xu, please don't brush randomly. What if my brush breaks?"
Xu Youyou explained: "This is how professional archaeologists brush their brushes, so you don't have to worry about them breaking."
The tour guide took out his mobile phone and searched it. It seemed that there was indeed such a rule, and he immediately stopped trying to stop him.
Xu Youyou said again: "If you don't trust me, then you can do it."
