Return to 90 and start a career

"Li Manjun, what the hell are you looking for?"

Wan Rongming fell down in the grass by the roadside. He wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. His expression was so rich that Liu Cheng couldn't help laughing.

Li Manjun patted the young man, and the two hurriedly pulled Wan Rongming up from the deep grass.

Wan Rongming asked Liu Cheng to look at his butt. Liu Cheng patted it and comforted him: "It's okay. The sun has been shining for the past two days. The grass is dry and not dirty."

That's what he said, but Wan Rongming couldn't help but reach out and touch the clothes at the back, not trusting Liu Cheng very much.

It wasn't until Li Manjun told him seriously that the clothes were not dirty, that the three of them continued walking up the mountain.

Grandpa Zhou’s family was all there. The Zhou family’s son and daughter-in-law warmly welcomed the three of them. Liu Cheng gave the rice and meat brought by Li Manjun to the Zhou family’s daughter-in-law, including thirty kilograms of white rice and a ten kilogram piece of pork belly.

Seeing the meat, the two grandsons of the Zhou family were so greedy that their eyes widened. They followed their mother, shouting that they wanted to eat meat.

The Zhou family's son was a little embarrassed, scratched his head awkwardly, led the three of them into the main room to warm themselves by the fire, took out three large green bowls, and poured a bowl of hot water for each of the three.

"Drink some hot water to keep warm. It's such a cold day, why don't you go for a run." The son of the Zhou family said sarcastically.

Grandpa Zhou came out of the back room, and Li Manjun immediately stood up and introduced Wan Rongming to him.

"This is my uncle Wan Rongming, a porcelain collector, who is very knowledgeable about porcelain."

Wan Rongming glared at Li Manjun secretly. He said half-truths and half- lies easily. Young people nowadays have become cunning.

He took off his gloves and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Grandpa Zhou. They were rough and cracked, and they were hands that had endured hardship.

Grandpa Zhou's mood was not as high as last time. He looked at the three of them with a hint of hostility, as if they were trying to steal his treasure.

The daughter-in-law of the Zhou family came out and warmly invited the three of them to have dinner at home this afternoon. She went to cook the meat and have a good meal in the evening.

Liu Cheng waved his hand, "No need, sister-in-law, let's just sit down and leave."

"Why are you so embarrassed? We must have a meal before we leave. We didn't have anything good to entertain you before, and we are too embarrassed to stay. You see there is meat and vegetables today, why don't you stay and eat." The daughter-in-law of the Zhou family smiled shyly, with sincere eyes.

Li Manjun smiled at her, "It's okay, sister-in-law, don't bother me so much. We have something to do in the afternoon and we really don't have time to stay long. Can we come back next time when we have a chance?"

The couple smiled helplessly, fearing that they would be disliked, and nodded without insisting.

It's not that Li Manjun and the other three were dissatisfied, but they stayed for dinner at night. It would be completely dark when they got back, and it would be unsafe for Liu Cheng to ride a bicycle.

Furthermore, there was not much rice and meat, so she felt sorry for the two children and wanted to keep their family to eat more.

Grandpa Zhou listened to several people talking silently, holding the fire stick, feeling very depressed.

Li Manjun tentatively asked him if he could take out the tea set and have a look. Grandpa Zhou snorted irritably. The Zhou family's son hurriedly walked to his father and whispered a few words of advice before Grandpa Zhou agreed.

Li Manjun could see that Grandpa Zhou's determination not to sell out had been shaken.

But now we have to wait until Wan Rongming sees it to know whether it is a valuable antiquities.

If not, the things she and Liu Cheng brought over these days would be regarded as the expense of disturbing them.

The Zhou family's daughter-in-law specially lit a candle and placed it beside the small table so that Wan Rongming could see it clearly.

The teapot and four teacups were carefully placed out by Grandpa Zhou. Li Manjun looked at Wan Rongming. Wan Rongming nodded and stepped forward to take a closer look. He also took out a magnifying glass and put on gloves to take the teacups into his hands to take a closer look. .

When Li Manjun and Liu Cheng saw this, they were about to shout to stop, but unexpectedly, Grandpa Zhou had no objection and only warned: "Be careful not to fall."

Wan Rongming nodded, he is a professional, don't worry.

Li Manjun and Liu Cheng looked at each other and couldn't help but become nervous.

I'm afraid it's not an antique, but I'm afraid it's really an antique but a worthless old thing.

The two secretly prayed that they would at least be able to get their money back.

Wan Rongming looked at them one by one, four cups in a pot, for half an hour.

"Uncle Wan, how is it? Is it a good thing?" Zhou's son asked nervously.

Wan Rongming put everything away first, took off his gloves and put away the magnifying glass. He didn't say whether it was good or not, he just said: "It is indeed an old thing."

Then, there is no more. He picked up the green bowl and drank the hot water one mouthful at a time.

Liu Cheng was overjoyed, it was just an old thing, and the trip was not in vain.

Grandpa Zhou looked proud, "I told you that the treasures left by our ancestors are all blessed, how could they be fake?"

Li Manjun felt that today was a good day to discuss the price, and asked Grandpa Zhou if he had any plans to sell.

Grandpa Zhou didn't say anything. The Zhou family's daughter-in-law asked anxiously: "How much do you charge?"

Li Manjun looked at Wan Rongming and said, "These four teacups and one teapot are not a set. They were probably chosen by the original owner who wanted to gather the four gentlemen and selected them from cups of similar shapes."

"This kind of goods is called bulk goods in our industry. They are always old, but they are not collectible in complete sets."

"Moreover, the lid of the pot is also missing. This pot is worthless. The other four cups are in pretty good condition."

Several people in the room were surprised when they heard this. They all looked at the small table. The four cups were about the same size and the teapot was also very good. How could they tell they were not the same set?

Grandpa Zhou was also anxious and asked Wan Rongming to give the basis, but not to talk nonsense.

Wan Rongming put down the green bowl and pointed at the paintings on the four tea cups, "There are red, green, black and blue. You know, the porcelain craftsmanship of each dynasty in our country is very different, such as the red on the red plum." , it should be a craft that was only available during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.”

He also said a lot that during the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the glaze colors were different, and the soil embryos used were also different. As long as you carefully look at the glaze color and soil embryos on the cup body, you can know what era it was a product of.

Finally, Wan Rongming made a conclusion: "These four cups are not from the same dynasty. The latest one is the black and white one, the latest one is the red plum cup, and only this one is the most outstanding."

The color here is not the color of the other. The color here refers to the color.

Everyone in the room, except Li Manjun, was stunned.

The Zhou family's son was most concerned about the price. Li Manjun said that he had to go back and think about the current situation.

I asked Grandpa Zhou again if he wanted to sell it, individually or as a set.

Grandpa Zhou seemed to be hit by Wan Rongming's words and was very unhappy, but Wan Rongming's words were reasonable and well-founded. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this was the case. He didn't hold on for long before he sighed helplessly.

Under the expectant gazes of his son and daughter-in-law, he nodded and said, "Sell it."

Li Manjun and Wan Rongming looked at each other, stood up, and said they wanted to go out and talk.

The two came to the farthest pigsty of the Zhou family. Wan Rongming covered his mouth and nose with his hands and glared at Li Manjun angrily. What kind of place did he choose!

Li Manjun has no choice but to go up the mountain, right?

This is the only place that is relatively secluded and soundproofed.
