Suppliers from both worlds have dominated the world since Datang!

About seven or eight minutes passed.

The female clerk led a middle-aged man back.

When they came closer, the female clerk said:

"Boss, this is this gentleman."

Only then did Zhuang Zhou take a closer look.

The boss was about forty years old, wearing a new Chinese-style coarse cotton coat, and holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.

The two looked at each other.

The boss spoke first and said:

"Hello! I, Tang Youde, am the owner of this store. I wonder what I call this brother?"

As he said that, he already stretched out his hand.

Good guy!

This is so polite!

Zhuang Zhou also stretched out his hand and gave it a virtual shake:

"Hello, Boss Tang, just call me Xiaozhuang."

"Okay, let's talk in the reception room!"

"Good Le!"

Zhuang Zhou got up and followed Tang Youde into a gorgeously decorated and simple reception room.

"Please sit down!"

After the two sat down, Tang Youde made tea himself and his eyes fell on the newspaper in front of Zhuang Zhou.

Such simple packaging is extremely rare.

Perhaps out of politeness, Tang Youde said nothing more and asked with a slight smile:

"Mr. Zhuang is here to sell swords?"

"Yes. I want to see if there is a market."

"Can I take a look first?"

"of course."

As he spoke, Zhuang Zhou tore open the newspaper without showing the same caution as he did with antiques and cultural relics.

Soon the newspaper was torn open, revealing a sword that looked completely anachronistic at first glance.

Tang Youde frowned slightly, with a hint of disappointment flashing through his face.

"Is it just this sword?"

"Yes! Can you help me take a look? Is it worth some money?"

Out of politeness, Tang Youde's attitude was very kind:

"I have to read this before talking about it."

"Okay, please."

Tang Youde stopped talking, put on his work gloves, and began to identify.

Of course Zhuang Zhou knew the origin of his sword, but now he had to make the other party believe it.

Therefore, it has to be left to professionals like the other party to identify it.

While Tang Youde was looking at the sword, Zhuang Zhou roughly explained the origin of the sword.

It is nothing more than that it has been passed down from our ancestors after going through countless hardships.

Now that my family is in trouble, I have no choice but to take it out and see if there is a market for it.

If I can get a good price, I'll make a move.

Tang Youde was naturally not surprised when he heard these words.

There are some words that everyone has judgment in their hearts.

After all, I came here just to do business.

Tang Youde naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.

But soon, Zhuang Zhou discovered that Tang Youde's expression had changed.

The initial casual look on his face has turned into something serious.

His brows were all furrowed, and he just kept looking back and forth.

I watched it for almost half an hour.

Zhuang Zhou couldn't help it anymore and asked in a low voice:

"Boss Tang, is this an ancient sword?"

Tang Youde nodded heavily and shook his head:

"This...I can't see it for a while."

He said without raising his head:

"Brother Xiaozhuang, you drink tea first, and I'll take a look."

"Okay! No rush, just give me the answer before noon."

Train ticket after three o'clock in the afternoon.

In case of traffic jam, Zhuang Zhou planned to take the bus there at one o'clock.

The office was quiet.

Only Tang Youde stared at the sword back and forth with bright eyes, checking it repeatedly.

Although the air conditioner was on in the room, fine beads of sweat appeared on Tang Youde's forehead.

The already rosy cheeks looked even more rosy now.

Apparently, this was urgent.

About half an hour passed.

Zhuang Zhou couldn't bear it anymore:

"Um...Boss Tang, can you tell? Is this sword an ancient sword?"

"call!"

Tang Youde exhaled heavily, turned around, picked up the tea cup, took a big sip of tea, shook his head and said:

"I can't say for sure! This is the first time I've encountered such a sword."

"To be honest, this feeling is too new..."

"But to say it's fake, it always feels wrong..."

"Hey! What a weird thing..."

Zhuang Zhou was speechless.

I bet you can see the result after just looking at it for a long time.

This doesn’t mean there is no result!

Seemingly sensing Zhuang Zhou's thoughts, Tang Youde smiled awkwardly and said:

"Brother Xiaozhuang, don't worry, I am also an expert in playing with ancient swords, and I will never get a blind eye."

As he spoke, he picked up a packet of Huazi on the coffee table in front of him, shook one and handed it to Zhuang Zhou:

"Come on, smoke!"

"Thank you, no!"

Hua Zi politely refuses the other party.

"It won't be good! Don't learn this thing, it will hurt your lungs!"

Tang Youde lit one on his own and took a deep sip:

"In this case, wait for me a little longer..."

"Xiao Wen, go and invite Boss Liu, Boss Guan, and Boss Zhang here. Tell them that there is a tricky object and let them take control of it."

"Ok!"

Outside the house, the female clerk from before was heard responding.

Zhuang Zhou felt like laughing when he heard that Liu Guan and Zhang were here.

This battle is quite big!

Not long after, I heard someone shouting loudly outside the house:

"Hey old Tang, did you find anything good again?"

"Old Liu, come in quickly."

Immediately afterwards, I saw three middle-aged men walking in.

All of them have beer bellies and beads on their wrists.

"Hey, is there a big order?"

When I saw a young man sitting on the sofa, they smiled at each other and said hello.

Another middle-aged man who was slightly shorter but seemed fatter said:

"Boss Tang, are there any objects that you are unsure about? Do we need the eyes of our three brothers?"

This man's voice was as loud as a bell, and his dazzling eyes really sounded like Mr. Zhang.

"Boss Zhang, stop making fun of me. Wait until you see it."

"Ha! That's alright, let's take care of the eyes."

With that said, the three bosses Liu, Guan, and Zhang also put on their gloves and began to conduct appraisals.

More than half an hour passed in a row.

The expressions of the three people were almost exactly the same as those during Tang Youde's previous appraisal.

No one said a word, and their faces became more and more solemn.

The sound of a pindrop could be heard throughout the room.

You can hear the sound of burning tobacco when Tang Youde smokes.

"what?"

Just when Zhuang Zhou couldn't help it and wanted to speak.

Suddenly the man surnamed Liu said something, but soon there was no movement again.

The three of them continued their appraisal for about ten minutes, and then they raised their heads and looked at Zhuang Zhou.

One of them, Boss Guan, asked:

"Little brother, is this object yours?"

"what?"

Faced with this sudden question, Zhuang Zhou could only say casually:

"This has been passed down from eighteen generations of my ancestors."

Tang Youde put out his cigarette butt and said:

"Lao Guan, don't worry about others. Just tell me your opinion. Is this item old?"

Boss Guan glanced at the other two people. At this time, they obviously had the same idea as him:

"I've looked at the stuff, and the three of us all have the same idea. It's possible that this stuff is probably genuine."

Zhuang Zhou: "..."

Then, I heard Boss Liu interject:

"Little brother, do you understand what genuine products mean?"

Zhuang Zhou shook his head.

"That is to say, this craftsmanship is all ancient, it is the ultimate, and it will never be the craftsmanship of future generations."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhou seemed a little excited for a moment.

It seems that they approve of this sword.

"But..."

at this time.

Just listen to the boss Zhang sigh and say:

"It's just the year of this sword. I can't tell it anyway. What do you two brothers say?"

The other two also looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Nothing!"

Boss Liu glanced at Tang Youde, then looked at Zhuang Zhou and said:

"I have to say that the hilt made of jade alone is not less than this number."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a 3.
