Chapter 0608 – Swords and Knives (II)
“Brother Zhuang, slow down and go back first, these two objects you bought, how much did it cost?”
Monkey pulled Zhuang Rui, looked at the stall owner and said, “Old Zhou, this is my boss, the famous antique appraisal expert, once appeared on the CCTV treasure identification program, you can not indiscriminately open the price ah!”
“Hey, monkey, what are you talking about? My old Zhou in Panjiayuan business is not a day or two days, that is absolutely fair and square, public buy public sell, do not believe you ask this teacher ah!”
Old Zhou heard the monkey’s words, his face put on a look of how much aggrieved, but in the heart that call a regret ah! Motherfucker, early to know is an expert, Laozi a hand at least open 5000 …… not, at least to sell his mother 10,000 dollars.
Just the old week do not know, the two swords in a, not to mention 10,000, is 100,000, it is also worth it, if spent 600 dollars only to buy the value of 10,000 things, Zhuang Rui can feel is picking up leakage well? He still can’t see that a few small money.
“What expert ah! Monkey, don’t be blind, go, go back to the store ……”
Zhuang Rui raised his hand and hit the back of the monkey’s head, turned around and left, the monkey was hit by the inexplicable, quickly followed up.
“Monkey ah! I say you kid this time, white in Panjiayuan mixed ah?”
Zhuang Rui saw the monkey followed up, holding the hand was wrapped in newspaper sword, gesture to scare him a bit.
“Brother Zhuang, what’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?”
Monkey did not know how Zhuang Rui suddenly got angry, this heart was a bit uneasy, although he knew that Zhuang Rui is good at talking, but this boss in case you look at you uncomfortable one day, there are many reasons to send you away.
Monkey stayed in Beijing these days, that is very comfortable, living in a high-grade neighborhood, drink all day, nothing can follow the likes of physical exercise Daxiong, run to the gym to flirt with lonely young women, not to mention the days of how dashing, the monkey is not willing to go back to Pangcheng to sell pets to go.
Monkey this time to see Zhuang Rui to buy things, since the sense of Panjiayuan has been familiar with, want to give Zhuang Rui long face, but I did not expect is the horse’s ass shot to the horse’s foot, a moment of some dumbfounded.
“I say you kid, really the more mixed the more no eyes.”
Zhuang Rui saw the monkey’s face are scared white, know that this kid is timid, and then eased the tone, said: “Monkey, want to pick up leaks in Panjiaoyuan, we must pretend to be half-knowledgeable, so that those sellers do not dare to be too fooled by you, but also want to take advantage of your point of a small advantage, so that we can pick up a good contraption, you say that the experts, others are not to the death of the price to ask for ah! ”
“Aigoo, brother, you see my brain ……”
Monkey heard Zhuang Rui words, such as a dream woke up patted the melon, indeed this is the reason, now these days, the words of the experts, that can be when the money to make, an appraisal certificate can make a certain object doubled in value, not to mention the expert in the thing, maybe the price out of the high, some stall owners also do not sell it!
“Okay, want to hang around in this line, learn to pretend to be stupid, absolutely than pretend to be shrewd people mix well ……”
Zhuang Rui patted the monkey’s shoulder, the brain recalled that the fixer Xiaofang under the set of “set of masters”, the old Tang, that pretend to be a fool to pretend that the kung fu is absolutely perfect, the general public are not enough to play the old Tang, not Zhuang Rui to see a few post-fake antique chairs in the house, but also can not dismantle the scam.
Later on, Lao Bai stepped in, I heard that it is to the small side to get back some money, maybe only 100,000 bar! This is also spend money to buy a lesson, do not think that the world on their own a smart person, the other people are fools, often you are planted in the hands of fools.
Zhuang Rui since the CCTV program, also came a few times to Panjiayuan, but and stall owners did not accost a few sentences, was recognized by those who do this line, will certainly pay attention to these treasure identification programs.
After a few times are so, Zhuang Rui annoyed, deliberately cut the original long hair into a small flat head, is to not let people notice themselves, or else to CCTV that can be called horrible ratings, they want to pick up the leaks, I’m afraid that can only go to the foreign taobao, Zhuang Rui also swore that the future of what will not be on TV again.
“Brother Zhuang, I understand, you see me like this, is it still possible?”
Monkey thought for a while, completely understand the stakes in the middle, the original face of a set of shrewd like, now actually become a very demented feeling, look at the Zhuang Rui is tsk tsk.
“Hey, monkey, you are not in the store, run outside to skate what ah?” Zhuang Rui suddenly thought, he ran into the monkey’s stall, and “Xuan Rui Zhai” is two streets away!
Monkey scratched his head, the face of the silly look, more and more pretend like, said: “Brother Zhuang, you are not let me nothing to these crowds drilling? I’m here to listen to the story.”
“Oh, I forgot about this, hey, I say, you kid don’t pretend in front of me.”
Zhuang Rui saw the monkey this look, can’t help but cry and laugh a little, fooling people when then pretend ah! All day put on this stupid look, tired ah!
“Hey, usually more training point well, by the way, brother Zhuang, if you like these swords and knives class of antiques, I do know Panjiayuan has a store, specializing in these things ……”
Monkey see Zhuang Rui seems not angry with himself, but also put down the heart, these days and a gym of young women hooked up with it, see on the fast hand, if it is driven back to Pengcheng, monkey suicide heart have.
“Franchise antique swords?”
Zhuang Rui stood still, these things are good, just abroad mostly, when the emperor generals wear swords and knives, can be the gang of foreign devils snatched, but look or not, around are idle, and then said: “Go, let’s go around.”
“Hey, I lead the way.”
Monkey is very funny pose, attracted the tourists next to look straight laugh, Zhuang Rui shook his head, followed.
“Sword and Sword Lodge? This name is a bit interesting ……”
After passing through a street, the monkey brought Zhuang Rui to the door of a store, and then said to Zhuang Rui: “Brother Zhuang, that boss knows me, I have not learned to play the fool, don’t give you trouble, you go in by yourself!”
“Haha, okay, you kid continue to go around! I’ll go back to the store ……”
Zhuang Rui was amused by the monkey, the world was born with so a kind of people, talk or not, can give people to all happy, according to Zhuang Rui’s idea, the monkey if you can go on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, may be able to become a comedy star it is, too much comedy cells.
Raised his head and looked down the door plaque, Zhuang Rui went to the store, the door plaque is also a domestic calligrapher wrote, just the sharpness of the exposed, murderous, let a person under the view of the heart of the timid.
But also in line with the mood of the store, the sword is the Chinese and foreign cold weapons period, the bloody war conflict witness, so to speak, each antique sword, is an engraved again on the metal of the history of the book.
Don’t look at yourself holding these two iron bars in general, inconspicuous thing, maybe in hundreds of years ago or the year before, is a great general in the hands of blood dipped in the murder weapon it!
After walking into the store, Zhuang Rui found that the store guests are not much, only two or three people, is placed in a knife and sword shelf objects, behind with a boss look like a person, doing the introduction.
“This gentleman, please feel free to look ……”
The boss saw the shape of the object wrapped in newspaper in Zhuang Rui’s hand, his eyes lit up for a moment, and he hurriedly came up to greet him, from the shape of the object in Zhuang Rui’s hand, he could tell that it was definitely a sword-type contraption.
“This boss, my store from the Western Zhou to the Qin and Han bronze weapons, and then to the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming antique swords, is everything, as long as you are interested in, what kind of need I can give you to find to, and ensure that it is a real object ……”
The boss said these words, the voice pressure is very low, eyes to the left and right glanced, then said: “I have a channel is specialized in doing this, can guarantee that these things are absolutely real.”
“Well, I’ll take a look first, boss you get busy …… first.”
Zhuang Rui nodded indisputably, eyes placed in the rows and rows of shelves in the sword.
“Well, you see which afraid, directly tell me, I see you are also a bit of connoisseur, honestly told you, this half of the shelf, are real objects, and this side of the side, is some imitation of ancient swords, don’t look at the good quality, are fake.”
That boss looks quite real, let Zhuang Rui on his impression is good, shopped so many antique stores, this is the first to say that their own store has fake things, some other stores, are eager to say that their own store things are from the Forbidden City moved out.
Zhuang Rui on the sword this kind of miscellaneous understanding is not much, but the most basic knowledge or know, the ancient sword forging method, are handmade, although the process is extremely exquisite, and even some processes, even now can not be imitated.
But due to the limitations of the quality of the sword material, are made of copper and iron beaten out, and there is no anti-corrosion measures, after thousands of years, there will certainly be copper rust rust, even if it is Longquan, Tai’a, fish intestines and other famous swords that have been passed down for thousands of years, is not an exception.
Zhuang Rui first from the boss said the imitation swords look up, sure enough, although those swords shape ancient, bright a few can be identified, but look carefully, you can find many traces of modern craftsmanship, Zhuang Rui although these things are amateurs, more or less can see a little bit of clues.
“This boss is a generous person.”
After identifying it with his aura, Zhuang Rui gave the boss a comment and turned to look towards those shelves that were antique swords in the store owner’s mouth.
The swords on these rows of shelves on the left were obviously not as bright, and on many of them, there were some heavy rust stains, which made people look at them as if their ears would ring with the neighing of horses and swords from the battlefields thousands of years ago!
