The antique shop of the rich fake master

Lin Xiangyu's heart was full of warmth. He hadn't seen this person in front of him for two months.

In two months, he could almost count the days.

It turned out that missing someone would be like this.

I'm worried about whether he's doing well on the mountain, and whether he's injured...

Missing, tormented and sweet.

Lin Xiangyu squatted beside the bed, and gently put together the kicked-off quilt for Qu Qiuli, covering his protruding feet.

But as soon as it was covered, the other foot came out again.

This sleeping posture is simply too healing for the soul.

Lin Xiangyu couldn't hold back, and stretched out his hand to touch his cheek flushed from sleep.

Qu Qiuli seemed to be disturbed, and frowned displeasedly, then turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

Lin Xiangyu withdrew his hand, which still smelled faintly of aftershave.

Well, it's peppermint.

If anyone else was here, they might call Lin Xiangyu an idiot.

After tidying up the quilt for him, Lin Xiangyu slipped out with a guilty conscience.

Qu Qiuli slept until two o'clock in the afternoon. When he woke up, he was still a little dazed, as if he didn't realize why he was here.

I was a little dizzy, and it took me a few minutes to remember, oh, so I went home early in the morning.

Before he had time to turn over and get out of bed, the door of the room was opened very lightly from the outside.

Qu Qiuli didn't know what to think, and immediately closed his eyes, nestled back again, and wrapped himself tightly.

But after a while, he heard light footsteps approaching his bed step by step, and then, a big hand that was always warm rested on his forehead.

This action seems very familiar, as if it has been done many times.

It feels a little hot.

Qu Qiuli slowly opened his eyes, "Brother?"

"You're awake." Lin Xiangyu withdrew his hand very naturally, "You had a low-grade fever this morning, I'll come in and take a look."

Qu Qiuli probably knew his body, "It's okay, I was just tired yesterday, maybe there's something wrong with my body temperature regulation, just sleep and I'll be fine."

Lin nodded to Yu, "Don't burn it now, wash up and go downstairs for dinner."

Qu Qiuli went downstairs and had lunch, all of his favorite dishes.

"Are there any plans for the afternoon?" Lin Xiangyu tentatively sent out an invitation, "There is a movie recently that has a good reputation, do you want to go see it?"

Qu Qiuli was stunned, and looked at his fake elder brother with a half-smile, "Brother, are you asking me out?"

Lin Xiangyu's palms are sweaty, these are all love strategies he found on the Internet.

Nodding nervously, she was too cowardly, and explained: "I, I just see that you have been busy for so long, so you should go out and relax."

"Pfft~!" Qu Qiuli almost couldn't hold back, "I'm going to the research room to have a look later, and I have to go to the store. I don't have anything to do at night. I'll see if there are any shows."

Lin Xiangyu lowered his head. If it was only at night, then he and Ah Li would spend less time together, and the things he arranged, this time is not enough.

Watch movies in the afternoon, go shopping for dinner, and go to the hot spring club for leisure and relaxation in the evening.

However, he knew that Ah Li was a person who did great things, so he should support him.

The date can wait later.

"Brother, are you going to visit my laboratory?" Qu Qiuli also sent out an invitation.

Lin Xiangyu's eyes brightened, "Is it convenient? Are there any commercial secrets that are inconvenient for outsiders to enter?"

There are secrets in the end, but Lin Xiangyu is not an outsider, and he doesn't understand them at all. In front of him, he doesn't even know that this is a research secret.

"convenient."

After lunch, the two packed up and set off for the research room.

During this period of time, the research laboratory has made good progress. Three batches of silkworms have been raised in batches and all of them have successfully cocooned.

For this reason, two small partners in the studio went to the silk factory to pay a tuition fee to study some time ago.

It's just that these cocoons are different from normal cocoons. They are much thinner, softer, and even more fragile, and they will be torn apart if you don't pay attention.

Silkworm eggs are rare, and they dare not waste them lightly.

"Don't worry, we have a direction now, even if we fail this time, we'll just start from scratch." Qu Qiuli glanced at the current progress, he was very satisfied, and asked, "How about the textile tools now?" ?”

Zhao Yinian was obviously very excited, "I really don't know where you found the information, this textile machine was ordered once and it was a success."

They tried it with other silk, and it worked, and it was quite simple to use, but the weaving speed was very slow.

Zhao Yinian also checked a lot of documents and materials. This loom is almost completely ancient technology. Although it is very backward, it also has its merits.

In short, this is also a lost craft.

Zhao Yinian had already reported the loom to the authorities, saying that it might not be possible for this loom to be successfully declared for restoration.

Qu Qiuli did not directly answer the source of the drawing of the textile machine, and Zhao Yinian did not pursue it.

Everyone tacitly, very tacit understanding.

"As for the follow-up, have any of you studied weaving?" Qu Qiuli asked, "Or, we can directly hire an outsider."

Or just ask others to weave the darning, and then they can restore the clothes one by one according to the shape.

Brother Dou came out and patted his chest, "Don't worry, we went to learn some time ago, it's just basic weaving, and with this loom, there should be no problem."

If Brother Dou dares to say that, it is basically appropriate.

Qu Qiuli knew that they wanted to participate in person, and they didn't want to pretend to be others.

Shayi has a history of nearly 3000 years, and the weaving method is not difficult, even crude, as long as it can be woven into a finished product.

For the rest, let's gradually improve it step by step.

Lin Xiangyu, who had been silent all this time, was full of admiration at this moment, "Your laboratory is like a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, each of you is proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts."

Qu Qiuli smiled, "In fact, in the past, it was to save money and avoid unnecessary external expenses, so they all learned it by themselves. There were people who went to pottery factories to work as apprentices for two months in order to learn pottery. .”

At that time, he basically relied on the support of his parents, so he naturally saved as much as he could.

Up to now, although there is no shortage of funds, everyone has developed this habit.

Lin nodded to Yu, "It's still amazing."

He looked around and found that they were all young people in their 20s. Most of them still have some feelings in them to be able to work in this industry.

Shayi's visit was almost over, and Qu Qiuli took Lin Xiangyu to the research side of the secret color porcelain.

Years ago, Qu Qiuli suggested that they build a small kiln factory by themselves, and it was just completed a while ago, so those friends who were in charge of the secret color porcelain simply moved to live in the factory.

Not far from here, about ten minutes walk.

When they arrived, a group of young men were surrounding an old man.

The old man is the kiln master they hired. He used to be a master in the kiln factory in Jingdezhen. He retired later and was taken to Anshi by his son for the elderly.

But he felt that he was not too old, and he couldn't be idle. Some time ago, he accidentally found this recruitment message on the Internet, and he came here.

Although this is a kiln factory, the kiln is only opened a few times a month. It is not busy and the work content is not tiring.

A group of young people are also very easy to get along with, and they are also easy to learn.

He has been engaged in kiln firing for more than [-] years, and his work experience is still very rich.

It was only when Qu Qiuli got closer that he heard what they were discussing.

It turned out that a batch of porcelain was just fired two days ago, and the kiln was only opened this morning. Obviously, the old method was used, but I just wanted to heat up the kiln and try to fire it again.

But what the old man burnt is different from the kiln they rented before.

The same raw materials, the same production process, but the master craftsman gave them completely different results from before.

I don't know how he managed to burn each of these porcelains into exquisite products.

Ordinary people may not be able to see the difference. Ordinary people may feel that a ceramic bowl costing ten yuan is no different from a ceramic bowl costing 1 yuan.

It can't be that the one worth 1 yuan is more gorgeous or more delicate, isn't it all burned out of soil?

But the difference is huge.

With the blessing of the old man, the friends seem to be enlightened. Many things that could not be explained before seem to be able to find the answer now.

"Hey, the boss is here." Someone shouted, "Didn't you go to dig an ancient tomb?"

"I just came back yesterday. Teacher Yin is sitting in the town over there. I, a non-staff member, came back to deliver something. I shouldn't be able to pass after that. You can come and see more."

The boys were all very happy, "Then Mise Porcelain, has your research progressed?"

This is embarrassing.

The craftsmanship of secret color porcelain is really difficult.

He has been in business for so long in ancient times, basically he has not explored the craft of secret color porcelain at all.

And some time ago, he was all on the mountain, and he didn't go back to ancient times. He still doesn't know how the people arranged there are doing now.

Everyone knew it by looking at his face, but no one was discouraged.

Research is such a process.

Some things may not be thoroughly studied in a lifetime, but what does that matter?

They have fought for this, and they have spent their sweat and youth for it.

Another person introduced to the old man, "This is the founder of our laboratory, a very powerful young man named Qu Qiuli."

The old man was in awe, "They are all capable young people."

The old man is actually very emotional. Since he came to work here, he naturally knows what the work here is.

A group of young people trying to restore those lost secret books is really remarkable.

Qu Qiuli smiled, "Are you still used to being here?"

"I'm used to it, I'm very used to it." The old man is obviously very happy. He has dealt with kiln porcelain all his life, and he is really not used to it when he leaves here.

Moreover, food and accommodation are included here, and he can practice Tai Chi in his spare time.

As for the questions that the young man wanted to ask, he knew everything, and he probably contributed his limited strength.

"Who is this?" Brother Ci asked Lin Xiangyu, "Is this classmate joining us too?"

"No, this is my...friend." Qu Qiuli swallowed the elder brother who was on the edge of his mouth, "Today, I just come with me to have a look."

Brother Ci had a teasing expression on his face, and let out a long "oh", his eyes were full of gossip.

Others followed suit.

They thought that Qu Qiuli was too immortal before, and nothing else seemed to affect his emotions except what they were interested in.

They often think, wouldn't a person with this personality be lonely?

Fortunately, now he finally saw different emotions in his eyes.

Qu Qiuli's ears were red and his ears were pointed. He actually had no other thoughts, probably that if he really got together with Lin Xiangyu in the future, he would have to explain to them that this brother is not that brother.

No, why should he think about what happens after being with Lin Xiangyu?

The eight characters have not been written yet.

Qu Qiuli asked himself, hadn't his heart moved?

In fact, there are.

Although his fake big brother is sometimes naive and occasionally a bit rustic, it is undeniable that he is excellent, and he is also very caring and sincere. In addition, this face is enough to convince many young men and women.

It's just that there are too many uncertain factors.

He couldn't be sure whether the relationship would last long. As far as the current relationship between him and Lin Xiangyu was concerned, if they were together, it would be embarrassing if they separated in the future.

I still don't know how to explain it to my parents.

Furthermore, he was not sure whether he was too touched, or Lin Xiangyu's various considerations gave him the illusion of being moved.

The last point, and the most important point, he didn't know how to explain to his parents.

His parents raised him as his own son. If he kidnapped his parents' own son, how would he face his parents?

When a man is with a man, he is destined to have no continuation of his own blood, unless it is adoption.

In other words, parents can never have their own grandchildren.

He didn't dare to imagine it, and when he thought about it, his heart was full of guilt.

Lin Xiangyu didn't know what Qu Qiuli was thinking in his heart, but he also had his own plan, and now was not the time to say it.

He couldn't let Ah Li bear the things that he had to face.

I will definitely explain clearly in advance.

Amidst the booing from his friends, Lin Xiangyu smiled foolishly, "A Li usually doesn't come here much, thank you for your hard work."

After thinking about it, he decided to send some small gifts to these little friends another day to improve their lives.

Qu Qiuli was very satisfied and very happy with the half-day tour of the laboratory. The friends are working hard to develop in the direction they want.

On the way back to the antique shop, Qu Qiuli was still smiling.

It wasn't the usual polite smile, or a very casual twitch of the corners of the mouth, but a smile from the heart.

There is even the word happy in the eyes.

People who don't like to laugh very much by nature, once they laugh, they are too attractive.

If Lin Xiangyu hadn't been driving, he would have been unable to hold back his inner thoughts.

The antique shop is considered off-season during this period, and there are not many people in a day.

Diao Xiaoyun was sitting at the counter weaving ancient coin bracelets bored, when she caught sight of someone out of the corner of her eye, she raised her head, and the first thing she saw was Lin Xiangyu.

"Mr. Lin is here again?" Diao Xiaoyun buried her head and continued to work on the compilation, "There is nothing to do in the store today, what are you going to buy today?"

Lin Xiangyu was taken aback for a moment, then turned back stiffly and looked at Qu Qiuli beside him.

Qu Qiuli seems to have understood something. During this off-season, he can predict that the business of antique shops may not be very good. It is very good to sell one or two large items a month.

He often received one or two hundred, one or two hundred, and he also knew that it was the ancient coin red rope woven by Diao Xiaoyun.

But every few days, there will be a moderate income.

He was still thinking at the beginning that his store probably had a reputation, so he had regular customers. After all, he still knew what kind of price and what kind of things.

The ones sold are basically tea sets, vases and the like, ranging from hundreds of thousands to a few million.

Seeing Lin Xiangyu's guilty eyes now, he asked, "Could it be you who are buying antiques during this time?"

"Ahem, no." Lin Xiangyu forcefully explained, "I did buy a few things before, and they were for gifts. I didn't spend money randomly."

Qu Qiuli obviously didn't believe it, he cast his eyes on Diao Xiaoyun and asked, "What's going on?"

Diao Xiaoyun was also embarrassed. The matter between him and Lin Xiangyu is indeed one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer.

Lin Xiangyu wanted to take care of his brother's business, and she also wanted to earn a commission, so the two hit it off and agreed to keep this secret.

Unexpectedly, the car suddenly overturned today.

"A Li, don't blame her." Lin surrendered to Yu, "I did it, I just thought that you can safely participate in archaeological work on the mountain, I can't help you there, but at least help you take care of the antique shop good."

Let you have no worries, no need to worry about the business in the store on the mountain.

So, he heard Diao Xiaoyun said that there was no business, so he thought of such a stupid way.

Qu Qiuli was not angry, nor was he smiling, "Return everything, and you don't like these, so don't waste this money."

"Don't." Lin Xiangyu didn't want to, how could he get back the money he spent?

Moreover, his parents liked the things he bought back. Two vases were indeed given away. Father Lin took two sets of tea sets to make tea, one at home and one in the company.

As for the remaining ones, they are all put into their collection room.

His parents were even very supportive of him doing so.

Qu Qiuli was stunned because he had nothing to do with him, "Don't do this next time, the research office is not short of funds now, and I bought this store, so I don't need to consider the rent, so if the business is good or bad, don't worry too much about it. "

As far as his shop is concerned, the antiques are brought back from ancient times, and there is basically no cost except for the electricity bill and Diao Xiaoyun's salary.

The money he earned at the end of last year was basically the income of other antique shops for several years.

Diao Xiaoyun also realized that she had made a mistake, and sincerely admitted her mistake, and said: "Boss, this month's promotion will not be released."

Qu Qiuli is not a holy mother, and this kind of thing cannot be encouraged, he nodded, "I will not be an example."

Diao Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she can keep her job.

"By the way, boss." Diao Xiaoyun said mysteriously, "Actually, there is a reason for the bad business during this time. Did you look at the other side when you first came here?"

Diagonally opposite is the ancient jade store where Pengci was last year. When I just passed by, I saw that he changed the door, but I didn't care.

Diao Xiaoyun continued, "The boss changed his career to sell antiques like us. I don't know where he got the antiques. Anyway, I went in in disguise and looked at them. Basically, they are all good things."

It's not true, and she can't take a closer look, but looking at it from the outside, there is no fake.

Qu Qiuli still doesn't care, it has nothing to do with him if he wants to do business?

Besides, this was originally an antique market, there were countless antique shops, and there were many people setting up stalls, so it was impossible for him to be affected by others opening a shop.

"Boss, I think there is something really wrong with the other side." Diao Xiaoyun wanted to take credit for it, "Many of their antiques are similar to ours, from dynasties to shapes, but their prices are [-]% lower than ours."

Is this a malicious competition?

To be honest, the prices of antiques in the past few years are really inflated. Qu Qiuli also set prices for the antiques in the store. There is no dead price, and there is room for floating.

It is convenient for customers to bargain.

As long as it doesn't fall below the floor he's pricing, it won't disrupt the market.

Therefore, the price here is considered fair. He can bargain with his eyesight, and those who are capable and knowledgeable can start with the bottom price.

But on the other hand, this...everything is [-]% lower than their prices.

This is a bit intriguing.

It's a bit like targeting his store on purpose.

Qu Qiuli thought for a while, "Shall we go and have a look?"

"Are you going just like this? Don't you pretend to be dressed up?" Diao Xiaoyun said in surprise: "He doesn't let you go in. There is a sign at the door saying you don't come in. Didn't you see it?"

Moreover, Qu Qiuli had a bit of a festive relationship with the beer belly boss, so Qu Qiuli just passed by like this, so he might not be beaten out, right?

I heard that the nephew of the boss with a beer belly who was squatting in the office has come out, so he hangs around the door of the store if he has nothing to do, and doesn't let his colleagues in.

There is something tricky, there must be something tricky here.

Diao Xiaoyun is the kind with good eyesight. She can't see any fakes on the other side. Either the other party is selling all genuine products, or there is a fake master behind the other party.

This is kind of interesting.

The boss with a beer belly certainly doesn't have such a great ability, who is behind him manipulating?

Lin Xiangyu was thoughtful.

"Wait for me." Qu Qiuli said to Lin Xiangyu, "I'll go upstairs and change."

Is this going to go to the opposite side to find out in disguise?

Diao Xiaoyun was still excited, cheering her boss on.

Lin Xiangyu originally thought it was a disguise, maybe wearing a hat or a mask and glasses, and changing into ordinary clothes would be more or less the same.

But when he saw Qu Qiuli wearing a peach-pink Hanfu, with his half-length hair tied up with a crown, and a layer of green gauze covering his face, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his eyes.

Staring at the fairy step by step without blinking, he approached him leisurely.

Qu Qiuli was also a little uncomfortable, because he wanted to time travel, so in modern times, he prepared a set of clothes from almost every dynasty, just in case.

But this set of Tao Fan's Hanfu was sent to him in the wrong color by the merchant.

This color is too bright, and it is too conspicuous to wear in ancient times, so it is not suitable.

This color must have been very popular with those ancient ladies and ladies. If someone came to ask him where he bought it, he would not be able to tell why.

Save yourself the hassle.

He didn't bother to return it, so he kept it at the bottom of the closet.

Today is the first time I took it out and wore it.

I have traveled many times, and it is common to wear ancient costumes in ancient times, but this is the first time I wear them in modern times.

A little uncomfortable.

Diao Xiaoyun reacted first, "Boss, are you going to find out? Are you wearing such high-profile clothes? Is it too eye-catching?"

After finishing speaking, she sighed again, "You are wearing a Hanfu, and every move you make is completely like an ancient person. It is more like that than a TV series. Your brother's eyes are straight."
