Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

"Your antique appraisal level has improved so fast, and the way you do things is still the same as before." Tang Lanxuan said to Lin Ran who was sitting in the passenger seat while driving.

Because Lin Ran came to the museum for the first time, it left a deep impression on him.

Pouring corrosive potion directly in front of everyone is an extremely risky behavior.

It can also be seen that Lin Ran is very confident and believes in his own judgment.

He was a little curious about Lin Ran's ability, so there was no need to doubt his appraisal level.

But Lin Ran was able to make such a judgment in the past, and it was impossible to know the reason why it was the secret skill of treasure appraisal.

I had to make adjustments and decided to test Lin Ran in another way.

Tang Lanxuan decided to take Lin Ran for a tour of Liulichang to see if he could really find antiques through scent.

The two of them were chatting, and before they knew it, the car had arrived at Liulichang.

Lin Ran hasn't been to Liulichang for a long time.

They were shopping at the antique market. In the previous life, Tang Lanxuan would take Lin Ran to the antique market when he had time. This has never changed. Persistence in practice is the only way to test.

I haven’t been to Liulichang for more than half a year. The number of tourists in Liulichang has surged and it has become the busiest antique market in the country.

In order to expand the business area, the back wall was demolished.

There are more vendors than last time, and the variety of items on display is also quite complete.

Guan Yun followed them silently. He was not interested in antiques, but he couldn't stay too far away from Lin Ran. After all, the guy who wanted to kidnap Lin Ran had not yet found his whereabouts.

He would agree with their idea of ​​hanging out, and also wanted to take this opportunity to find them.

"Compared with Liulichang and Panjiayuan, what do you think is the difference?" Tang Lanxuan was not in a hurry to test Lin Ran's ability, but started chatting with him.

They walked on the street. In addition to the vendors along the street, there were also some newly opened antique shops.

In addition to antique shops, this street is also home to time-honored pawn shops.

Of course, Lin Ran and the others had no intention of entering the store. If they wanted to test their strength, the stalls outside were more valuable.

"The products in Liulichang are smaller than those in Panjiayuan, but they are less commercialized. Most of the stall owners are genuine stall sellers, rather than businessmen who specialize in selling fakes." Lin Ran expressed his general impression.

In Panjiayuan, imitations are rampant and have become an industrial chain.

Especially in terms of porcelain, after Wei Chengbin left, a lot of imitations flooded the market.

Even if they are discovered, they will use the excuse that the imitations of "Shengshi Craftsmanship" are so expensive.

The number of such vendors is increasing, making Panjiayuan a bit of a mess.

Lin Ran noticed this situation the last time he went to Panjiayuan, so in comparison, Liulichang had a higher chance of picking up one or two genuine items that had slipped through the net.

Tang Lanxuan was noncommittal and seemed not very satisfied with Lin Ran's answer.

But he didn't say it directly, but asked Lin Ran to observe more.

This was his way of education. Lin Ran understood and decided to pay attention to the cultural aspects of Liulichang.

Not forgetting the purpose of their visit, Lin Ran and Tang Lanxuan walked along the street and took a quick look at the antiques on both sides of the street.

"Most of them are imitations. There are only a few porcelains from the late Qing Dynasty, and their value is not high."

The two of them walked around for a while. Lin Ran did not pick up the cultural relics for appraisal, but they were already inseparable.

However, Tang Lanxuan didn't think it was very special, because most of the cultural relics could be roughly understood by treasure appraisers of their level at a glance, and he didn't see any valuable cultural relics.

If tested this way, it would be meaningless.

After last night's experience, Lin Ran became more proficient in smelling sex.

He could feel that there were indeed a few objects from the Ming and Qing Dynasties on this street, and there were no traces of cultural objects from the Song Dynasty and earlier.

After the rise of antiques, even ordinary people will comment on cultural relics.

Objects that are slightly older are either taken to a pawn shop for pledge, or they are sent directly to an antique shop for appraisal.

If you want to find an object from a thousand years ago on the market, you will probably be disappointed in Liulichang today.

Lin Ran also wanted to prove himself and said, "Teacher, how about we go to Panjiayuan?"

There are many vendors selling fake goods in Panjiayuan, but the advantage is the large number. When panning for gold in the sea, you can always find some treasures. The possibility of finding them is much higher than in Liulichang.

Tang Lanxuan smiled and said: "No hurry, how about we go shopping in the store?"

The purpose of their visit today is not to pick up missing items, but to identify antiques.

Since I have been shopping around outside and found no antiques that can test my strength, I changed my mind and found a store to check out.

Lin Ran readily agreed. He closed his eyes and felt it for a long time before finally setting his sights on a pawn shop.

"Teacher, there should be extremely valuable cultural relics here." Lin Ran whispered, and then stepped into the store door.

A pawn shop is actually a pawn shop, a financial institution that obtains loans by pledging items.

Pawn shops not only provide pledges of items, but also sell goods.

There are two types of pledged items. The first is temporary pledge, which is equivalent to a credit loan. If the loan cannot be repaid, the pawned items will be returned to the pawnshop, and they have the right to handle it themselves.

The other is direct pledge, which is to sell unwanted items directly to a pawn shop in exchange for money.

Because he often appears in Brother Xun's articles, he is naturally regarded as an object of ridicule.

The name of this pawn shop is Houhai Pawn Shop, which is not famous.

Generally, it is difficult to produce high-quality products in small pawn shops, but the purpose of today is to test. Tang Lanxuan did not say much and prepared to enter the pawn shop with him.

But just as they were about to enter the store, a noise came from a distance, accompanied by constant shouting: "Stop!"

They both turned their heads simultaneously to see where the noise was coming from.

I saw three men in suits chasing a young man in sportswear on the streets of Liulichang.

The man in a suit was obviously no match for the athletic young man and was quickly distanced.

A man in a suit leaned over, picked up a stone, and threw it at him.

It turned out that his skill at throwing stones was too bad, and the stones flew straight towards Lin Ran.

Soon after, Guan Yun kicked the stone away from the side to prevent Lin Ran from being hit by the stone.

Because their behavior threatened Lin Ran, Guan Yun also looked at him.

The young man was running in his direction and was about to go around Guan Yun.

But he didn't expect Guan Yun to grab his collar from behind the moment he ran past.

Even though the young man had stopped, he still inevitably fell to the ground under the influence of inertia.

"Ouch!" The young man covered his head and rolled on the ground.

The sudden situation caused the man in the suit behind to slow down.
