Siheyuan starts from a good life

After the tavern became a public-private partnership, the superiors assigned accountants, cashiers, and chefs to the tavern, a total of four helpers. Fan Jinyou was appointed as the public manager.

However, this person is just like in the TV series. Fan Jin is a bit ambitious and underhanded. After becoming the public manager, he completely regarded himself as the top leader in the tavern. He was responsible for the overall situation and directed everyone to do things as a leader all day long, so that Xu Huizhen, the private owner, turned out to be a handyman, and was educated by the arrogant Fan Jinyou. If he didn't agree with him at all, he would criticize Xu Huizhen's capitalist ideas.

After He Yuzhu and Xu Damao found out about this matter, they teamed up to deal with it severely. Only then did he become honest. Originally, Fan Jinyou wanted to find a gangster to solve the problem after suffering a loss. Who is Xu Damao? There are many people. In addition to being cautious in front of Jiang Yan, he is also a black-and-white figure outside. Especially the group of children who followed Jiang Yan before, and Xu Damao is basically familiar with them, so Fan Jinyou is in tragedy.

This Xu Huizhen is worthy of being the protagonist in "The Little Woman from the Zhengyang Gate". Fan Jin is not holding her back. The work of this tavern is impressive, and the profits handed over are also increasing year by year. This tavern is a flag for the entire street, and again In addition, this is a pilot unit, so the bistro has been visited by many leaders.

There are rumors that Xu Huizhen hopes to take over her position after the director of their neighborhood retires. But the only thing I didn't expect was that Fan Jinyou would get involved in the tavern's glory after being honest. He, the public manager, was praised many times by the superiors because of the tavern's prosperity. It has to be said that the cause and effect cycle is so mysterious.

For a while, Jiang Yan became obsessed with treasure appraisal, especially after Master Niu asked someone to send a message. After dinner, he took He Yuzhu and the others straight to the tavern.

Cashier Kong and Xu Huizhen were on duty tonight. After arriving at the tavern, He Yuzhu went straight to the counter. Jiang Yan and the others found an empty seat and sat down. It was still early and there were not many people in the tavern.

"Auntie, let's get two ounces of wine each, a plate of peanuts, a plate of rice noodles, and a plate of these pickles. Auntie, please help me get this for the two sisters."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he handed Xu Huizhen an oil paper bag and then handed over a braised pork gift box.

Xu Huizhen didn't refuse and directly took what He Yuzhu handed over.

"Xiaokong, all the food and drinks that Zhuzhu and the others have tonight are on me."

Xu Huizhen asked Cashier Kong, who was taking notes, to go get a drink after just one sentence.

The country is in difficulty these days, so the drinks sold in the tavern are also rationed, with a maximum of two taels per person.

"Xiao Yan is here." Xu Huizhen and He Yuzhu carried a tray and put the wine and vegetables they had just bought on Jiang Yan's table. The three ounces of beef and pig head meat that He Yuzhu brought were cut by Xu Huizhen and put on two plates. A plate was also brought over.

Old Li's name was Li Changhe. After he got acquainted with him, He Daqing called him Uncle Chang or Master Li. Which one he called depended on the occasion. When there were outsiders, he would be called Master Li. When the two of them were alone, they would be called Uncle Chang. He was nearly twenty years older than He Daqing, so it was natural for him to be called Uncle Sheng.

"Again, men, you're here early!" While Jiang Yan and the others were listening to people chatting and chatting in the tavern, Mr. Niu walked in with something wrapped in a newspaper. When he saw Jiang Yan, he smiled and snorted. A hello.

"Master Niu is here, sit down quickly, Zhuzhu will pour wine for Master Niu."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Master Niu was not polite and sat directly in front of Jiang Yan.

"Zhu's braised pork is so authentic!" Mr. Niu gave He Yuzhu's braised beef and pig head a thumbs up after tasting it.

"Master Niu, as long as you like it, you can get this." After Jiang Yan said this, he picked up a braised pork gift box next to him and handed it to Master Niu.

"Hey! What did you say? It's not good for me to eat and drink. We don't have such rules in Sijiu City."

Seeing Master Niu reject Jiang Yan, he said directly: "Master Niu, I don't mean anything else. I will give you an appetizer for the Chinese New Year. You can accept it, or you will be embarrassed by me."

"Okay, since you said so, I'll accept it shamelessly." Mr. Niu happily took the braised pork gift box from Jiang Yan and put it aside.

After taking a few sips of wine, Mr. Niu pointed to the things he had brought over, "Man, my eldest son has a job thanks to you, and now he has a wife. He has to do something soon, and I don't have enough money to spare. I came to see you today to give you something."

After Master Niu finished speaking, he opened the newspaper wrapped in it. After opening the newspaper, Jiang Yan saw an exquisite vase two feet high.

At this time, Mr. Niu pointed at the vase and said, "This is a blue and white sea water and white dragon flat vase from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. I collected it two years ago. How about I transfer it to you for 80 yuan."

Hearing what Master Niu said, Jiang Yan looked at the bottle carefully and said it was a lie if he said he didn't like it. The Xuande furnace will be worth anything in the future, and the value of this thing will not be low.

Jiang Yan thought for a while and said to Mr. Niu: "Master Niu, to be honest, I am new to this thing, but I can also see that you also like this thing. A gentleman should not take away someone's love. You are short of money." , I’ll lend it to you and pay it back whenever you have time, so you’d better accept it!”

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Mr. Niu was quite moved, but the old man still stubbornly insisted on transferring this thing to Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan felt that the eighty yuan was really short, so he insisted on adding a little more, and the result happened. It was an interesting scene. The buyer insisted on adding more money, but the seller insisted on not wanting. This situation made He Yuzhu and the others sitting there dumbfounded.

However, under Jiang Yan's insistence, the vase was sold for 150 yuan.

After drinking to his heart's content, Mr. Niu used the blue and white sea water and white dragon flat bottle to tell Jiang Yan how to appreciate porcelain, what are official kilns and private kilns, what are the differences between blue and white, doucai, and five colors, JDZ, Longquan kiln, Yaozhou kiln, etc. What are the characteristics of the kiln mouth? Why are the carcass, glaze color, and painting techniques so different...

Moreover, Mr. Niu also told Jiang Yan that the most taboo word in the antique business since ancient times is the word greed! Don't think about taking all the good things in the world into your own hands, nor can you just think about making money. Everything in the world has a certain number, especially antiques. If you are just speculating and doing business, this thing can make you rich overnight, or it can make you bankrupt or even die in an instant! Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign

Examples abound. Therefore, everything is fate, so don’t be obsessed with it.

Jiang Yan admired and agreed with what Master Niu said. These words also sounded the alarm for him and made him sober up a lot. At first, he had the attitude of just playing for fun, but after he actually started buying it, when he thought that this piece of porcelain would be worth millions or tens of millions in a few decades, to be honest, he really couldn't control it, and his eyes were filled with tears. Crazy and greedy, if this continues without warning, I really don’t know what serious consequences there will be.

Today's words from Master Niu were like an inspiration to Jiang Yan, allowing him to wake up and get back on the right path. I also have more respect for Mr. Niu Jiang Yan.

Gradually, Jiang Yan's mentality calmed down. When looking at something, he no longer considers how much it is worth, but only considers whether he likes it. In this way, the whole person feels relaxed, and actually finds the fun of collecting. Learning can be done with twice the result with half the effort, and progress is very fast.

Calligraphy and painting are called soft films in the antique shop. In the antique and antique market, they have been the most valuable category since ancient times, and they are also the deepest category. There has been a tradition of special imitations since ancient times. Appreciating painting and calligraphy requires high cultural literacy and historical and cultural knowledge, especially ancient calligraphy and painting. Without literacy, you may not even recognize who painted it. Therefore, if you want to collect calligraphy and painting, it is best to read more books.

However, the value of modern paintings and calligraphy is not high at the moment, because these painters are still alive today, so they are not antiques, but at best contemporary paintings. Like Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Li Kuchan, Zhang Daqian, Li Keran, Pan Tianshou... the works of these great people who will shine brightly decades later can be bought anywhere now, and they are not worth much. From this Jiang Yan But I collected a lot.

With the help of a famous teacher and my serious study and study, I have gradually made progress, at least I am no longer a stick. His starting point for collecting has now changed. After learning more deeply, he is now slowly beginning to like these things.
