Chapter 0610 – Cutting Iron Like Clay (I)

“Brother Huangfu, what’s wrong? Didn’t buy anything?”

Zhuang Rui turned back and saw that the owner of the store was still standing in the doorway, at that moment, he couldn’t say much and casually asked.

“Next time to see, today I want to recognize brother Zhuang, go, walk while talking ……”

Huangfu Yun how to say is also a lawyer origin, this ability to detect words and colors, not much worse than Zhuang Rui, when the back of the “sword Zhai” to Zhuang Rui made a wink, the two together squeezed into the crowd.

“Damn, early to come late to come, but this time to come, bad luck ……”

The store owner who had just sent Huangfu Yun out, the smile on his face had long since disappeared, spat at the back of the two men, and cursed in his heart with indignation.

This batch of samurai swords in his store is indeed fake, they are all ordered from Hebei and Tianjin, where there are some handicraft factories that specialize in ordering antique swords as home decoration.

The store owner originally ordered two, did not expect to meet the Huangfu cloud, made up a story from the Japanese broken family acquisition, actually sold a high price of 500,000 to, which let him taste the sweetness, and hastily ordered more than ten, about the Huangfu cloud to see the goods today, but did not expect the Huangfu cloud in order to acquaintance Zhuang Rui, and even the knife did not look at the end of the walk away.

Of course, Zhuang Rui in the store performance in the middle, the store owner did not suspect anything, and Huangfu cloud another appointment to see the goods time, just business did not do, this boss heart has so a little bit of muttering.

“Boss, you do this thing is not fair ah! To Panjiayuan wandering, their own stores do not come, too say it! No, you have to give a statement to become ……”

Zhuang Rui stepped into the “Xuan Rui Zhai” door, was Zhao Hanxuan blocked, the old Zhao is a love of making friends nature, otherwise it would not be because of making friends at a loss, this time and Zhuang Rui get along with down, but also became a good relationship with the buddies, is to speak very casually.

“Xiao Zhuang, you came!”

Sitting behind the seal stone master Ge, after seeing Zhuang Rui hastily stood up and greeted, he did not dare to talk like Zhao Hanxuan, put in the old society, Zhuang Rui which will be called the proprietor.

“Saying? At night you guys find a place to eat to go! Meals are counted in the store, right, where is Daxiong?”

Zhuang Rui into the store to look at, but found that in addition to the monkey and another clerk in, but Daxiong is not in.

Zhao Hanxuan smiled and said, “Let that kid go to stock up, run more channels, and get started faster in the future ……”

“Old Zhao, you’re forcing me to give you a raise!”

Zhuang Rui somewhat depressed pat Zhao Hanxuan’s shoulder, it seems that this old boy or not dead out of the mind of doing it alone, but this is not strange, who is not willing to do the boss and go as a fellow to listen to others call ah?

“Don’t talk about this, don’t talk about this, I’ve been selling my body to you for two years!”

Zhao Hanxuan laughed and digressed, seeing that Zhuang Rui was followed by someone else, he asked, “Boss, this is ……”

“Hey, look, I almost forgot about my honored guest.”

Zhuang Rui slapped his head, let Huangfu Yun out, said, “Just now when looking at the object to recognize, Huangfu Yun, American barrister, well, is also a connoisseur of antique sword collection ……”

“Zhuang brother, you don’t shabby me, but also connoisseur, shame on you, by the way, should I call you Zhuang boss ah?”

Huangfu Yun has been very quiet standing behind Zhuang Rui, to be honest, he is also very curious about Zhuang Rui’s identity, a few years younger than himself, actually opened such a large store in Panjiayuan.

Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Don’t, I’m not competent as a boss, you’d better call me old brother!”

“Elder brother Zhuang, you are the real connoisseur! You must have been hiding something just now, there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the country!”

Thinking of the words Zhuang Rui said at the “Sword and Sword Festival”, Huangfu Yun’s confidence in the two samurai swords he bought at a cost of half a million dollars became a bit low.

In fact, Huangfu Yun was also a little doubtful, but when looking at the goods, there is a Japanese-speaking old man, at that time, also intends to buy, and Huangfu Yun lifted the price a few times, Huangfu Yun did not think too much, and directly to the next.

Just now look back and think about it, found that there are a lot of doubts, and in their own purchase of two katanas, and then suddenly appeared more than ten, which also makes Huangfu cloud suspicion, but people tend to be the authorities are confused, Huangfu cloud is also in the Zhuang Rui nudging, and only slowly will be in the heart of the suspicion of unlimited expansion.

Huangfu cloud thought right, that the identity of the Japanese old man is true, but it is the store owner to spend money to invite the trust, visible now curio store in order to do sets, spend how much work, alone please that extras, that store owner has shelled out a considerable amount of performance fees.

Of course, that the child is estimated to have returned to Japan, this is dead, even if Huangfu cloud to find the door, but also to take that store owner can do nothing.

Antiques are always buy fixed away from the hand, and the invoice is also open handicrafts, Huangfu Yun is a little after (counting) account can not find, do the bureau under the set, especially the person who opened the store, absolutely will not leave any tail.

“What’s wrong? Being fished? Is the loss big?”

Zhao Hanxuan was sensitive to this matter, as soon as he heard the conversation between the two, he knew that Huangfu Yun was probably being set up.

“Almost half a million dollars! There are so many fake things in this country!”

Huangfu Yun sighed, he is from abroad began to like on the sword collection, originally thought that the domestic legacy of the real thing to be a little more, who knows the first time out on the planted a big heel.

Zhao Hanxuan this will also be considered to look away, after hearing the words of Huangfu Yun, self-deprecatingly said: “Older brother, as if it is spent half a million dollars to buy a lesson! Brother I was set up to cheat away 8 million dollars, even this store has changed its name.”

Huangfu Yun did not know about this, asked, but also shook his head, he is really lucky, the second time he met Zhuang Rui, otherwise, I’m afraid that he still have to smash money into it. However, Huangfu Yun on Zhuang Rui is how to recognize the authenticity, or confused, and then looked to Zhuang Rui asked: “Zhuang old brother, I see you just now, just look at the sheath, for the inside and did not look at it carefully, how do you see that this knife has a problem?”

“Go inside and talk about it! Also let you see the contraption I just bought ……”

Zhuang Rui saw that there were a bit too many people in the store, greeted Master Ge, and led Huangfu Yun to the compartment, Zhao Hanxuan naturally followed him in, wanting to see what good contraption Zhuang Rui had found again.

“Brother Huangfu, you first take a look at these two swords ……”

After Zhuang Rui entered the compartment, he unwrapped the newspapers wrapped around the two swords and carefully placed them on the table.

“Rusted to this? Not very valuable!”

Huangfu Yun couldn’t help but frown when he saw the two burning sticks, and asked Zhuang Rui for a glove, putting it on his hand to look at the sword first.

“This should be an iron ring head sword from the two Han years, but the handle is already decayed and the blade is oxidized too much to make it worthwhile to polish it out …….”

Huangfu Yun had really worked on the sword, after a brief look, he took out the key he had brought with him, and pulled out the key a few times at the place where the hole of the ring head sword was, removing the rust there, and revealing the hole where the original upper ring was.

“Hmm? This one I’m going to polish myself, shouldn’t be too much trouble ……”

The knife that Zhuang Rui bought was not worth much, it was prepared to be taken home to find a fast grinding wheel to polish it.

When Huangfu Yun heard Zhuang Rui’s words, he quickly said, “Elder brother Zhuang, a good knife can’t be sharpened haphazardly! That will hurt.”

“Oh? There’s also this saying, brother Huangfu speak to hear it ……”

Zhuang Rui for porcelain restoration, more or less still understand a little, but for the maintenance of the sword, really is a know-nothing, sword collection is the rise in recent years, that is, Uncle Te on this kind of antiques, is also not well understood.

“Zhuang old brother, this sword grinding, if not professionals, it is easy to the surface covering layer of hard steel are grinding off, so the whole sword shape, will change, this is a taboo ah!”

Huangfu cloud rare and exchange of knowledge of the collection of swords and knives, when the gushing up, sword collection no precedent to speak of, Huangfu cloud said, are his years of accumulated experience, but let Zhuang Rui and Zhao Hanxuan big up the knowledge.

Originally, the sword grinding although it will make the antique sword reproduce the beautiful pattern, but that is not the sword itself all, so it looks good, but lost the antique sword unique kind of flavor, look in the eyes of connoisseurs, but the value is greatly reduced.

In Japan, an excellent grinding division, grinding an inch of the sword, to charge $ 100 grinding fee, dealing with a sword may spend the time, need half a month long, the energy spent, not the average person can imagine, and not that casually used to grind maintenance, can reproduce the original style.

Antique line once had such a story, there is an antique dealer went to the countryside to collect objects, fancy an old folks home hexagonal sandalwood small square table, so out of twenty thousand dollars to buy, ready to take away the next day.

Who knows the next day to go to the old folks home to see, the original thick pulp, simple and elegant square table, actually become like new, there is still not dry on the paint flavor.

Antique dealer immediately shocked, asked about the root cause, the original is that the old township, feel each other 20,000 yuan to buy the old table, the heart is a little bit too much, so the night to find the sandpaper, the whole square table sanding finished, and then again with the paint to the brush again, since I feel that the 20,000 yuan can afford to do so.

Just so, but it makes the antique dealer chest thumping, the last money did not give, turn face away, this is the consequences of improper maintenance of antiques.
