"Brother Wu, I have something to do with you."

Shen Guodong stood at the door and waved to Li Xuewu in the room, and at the same time smiled with Li Shun.

Li Shun just nodded. He didn't think there was anything important about Shen Guodong's visit to his second son.

They all live in the same courtyard. It’s not like when I was a kid, I could still pick up walls and get into trouble.

Li Xuewu came out of the house, and Shen Guodong came closer and whispered: "Second Master is looking for you about old things."

"Where is it?"

"Where's the West Courtyard?"

Shen Guodong gestured, and then followed Li Xuewu to the west courtyard. As he walked, he introduced: "Before you came back, an old man came and took an incense burner to find the second master. I don't know what he said at that time. The second master Been waiting for you".

"Um"

Li Xuewu nodded. The seeds planted at the beginning of this month should germinate.

There is no talk of flowering and fruiting, it hasn’t arrived yet, maybe there are clever ghosts popping up sporadically.

Sure enough, when we arrived at the west courtyard, the lights in the sales department were still on, but the door panels were all closed.

The house where the furniture is sold is locked, and only the scrap recycling side is talking.

The second grandfather, the grandfather, and the second child.

When Li Xuewu entered the house, Shen Guodong stood leaning against the door and did not enter the house.

The second master didn't say anything first. He took out an incense burner from under the cement counter and placed it gently on the table.

Li Xuewu glanced at the second master, and then focused on the stuff on the table.

After only sizing it up, Li Xuewu stopped looking at it. Instead, he nodded and asked the second master, "This thing is not even today. It was made in the Republic of China and even in the Qing Dynasty. There is no way." Look”.

After saying that, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for the second master and grandpa. After lighting it himself, he threw the cigarette case to Shen Guodong at the door.

After everyone had taken a sip, Li Xuewu continued: "I won't talk about the rest, but going forward, there were many imitations of this thing in the late Ming Dynasty, and the engraved style is still Xuande."

"You know him?"

The second master looked at the grandpa with some surprise, but the grandpa did not speak, his expression remained the same.

Grandpa is very sure that he taught Li Xuewu the carpenter's craft, but the only thing Li Xuewu can use well now is a hammer.

Not to mention craftsmanship, even Li Xuewu couldn't tell the wood right. It was just a stick, not as good as Ge Lin's.

And my grandfather also knew the crafts of carpenters, bronzes, and antiques, but he didn't know anything about them.

Li Xuewu put the cigarette in his mouth, reached out and grabbed the stove on the table and looked at it. It turned out to be the famous Xuande stove.

Look inside the furnace again...

Hmm~

There are also traces of incense ash, making it look like that.

But this doesn't mean anything. Those who were hit by this thing in later generations were almost blinded.

There are more stoves that dare to be called Xuande stoves than those made at that time.

The dealers in the ancestral, scavenged, and antique markets can tell you more than a dozen versions of the story for free, and I’m sure you’ll say yes to it after listening to it.

If Li Xuewu were to look at it now, he wouldn't dare to admit it, because everyone knows this stuff is a good thing, and someone would have pirated it long ago.

And it was done blatantly by the officials at the time, because the person who liked this stove was Kangxi.

Of course, this person doesn't need to be introduced in detail. You can't just introduce Kobe as if your surname is Kobe and your surname is Kang and Xi, right?

This old man not only asked the manufacturing office to copy it, but also added the design elements of the time, so people who don't know how to do it will think that something is old when they see it.

In fact, they didn't know that there were many imitations of this thing in the late Ming Dynasty.

Because as long as it's not from those 18,000 furnaces, it's called imitation.

When it was finished, there were imitations, so let’s not talk about whether it’s valuable or not, so don’t make people laugh.

Li Xuewu naturally knew that the second master was teasing him, so he put down the stove in his hand, raised his hand to pinch the cigarette from his mouth, and said, "What period does this thing come from?"

The second master saw that Li Xuewu knew something, but not much.

But it was rare among young people at this time, at least he didn't ask if this thing was real or fake.

Antiques are neither real nor fake. You may say it is fake, but it is really an incense burner.

It was right to ask about the period. The second master also smiled and asked: "What do you think?"

"hehe"

Li Xuewu grinned and said, "I guess it's obvious."

"Why?"

The second master smiled and asked with interest, as if he was interested in whatever Li Xuewu guessed.

Li Xuewu smiled and glanced at the other people in the room. Er Hao'er and Shen Guodong were looking at each other, wondering what was there to guess about a broken incense burner.

Grandpa, on the other hand, didn't understand and couldn't pretend to understand. He looked at Li Xuewu and Li Xuewu as if they were just watching the fun.

Li Xuewu turned around again, looked at the second master and said: "If it is from the Republic of China, or a modern imitation, there is no need for you to call me over."

After he finished speaking, he gestured to the room and said, "I won't tell you until everyone has left. It must be valuable."

"At this time"

Li Xuewu looked at the second master with a smile and asked: "Don't tell me, this thing is really the earliest batch."

"Hehehe~"

The second master chuckled, stretched out his hand to straighten the stove on the table, glanced at it for a few times, then raised his head and looked at Li Xuewu and said, "No one can say for sure, but it is indeed a good thing."

He also gave it a try, moved the incense burner in his hand, leaned his elbow on the counter, and said to Li Xuewu: "I am a regular customer. I have been here twice. This is the third time."

After he finished speaking, he gestured to the incense burner beside him and said: "Tell me that there are many other gold and valuable things at home that you want to sell. The price at our door is not high enough. You are trying to fool the Japanese. You want to talk to me."

Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and nodded, smoking a cigarette in his mouth, and motioned for the second master to continue.

Since everyone has come to the door, it means it has something interesting. At least the second master just said that this stove is a good thing.

The second master also continued to introduce: "This is what he showed me first. I didn't give him the right words, so he kept the stove and said that he would come back later."

"Haha, he is still a showman"

Li Xuewu chuckled lightly and said, "This thing can be sold for 1,800 yuan outside, is that okay?"

Ye Erye smiled and did not answer Li Xuewu's question, knowing that he was trying to trick him to determine what was going on with the stove.

"How about it? Boss, let's make up our mind. Should we do this business or not?"

"Not so good~"

Li Xuewu curled his lips, looked at Mr. Ye, and said: "No matter whether their family really has as many valuable things as he said, go now, I guarantee you won't get back any money you pay."

Second Master Ye raised his head slightly, looked at Li Xuewu, and waited for him to continue.

But Li Xuewu looked at the incense burner and asked Mr. Ye: "How can you be sure that he is not a thunderbolt? Maybe someone wants to test whether our brand is real or fake~"

"this……"

Second Master Ye frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "You mean, someone wants to drag us into trouble?"

"have no idea"

Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and said: "At least they are hiding, and we are hiding. They are walking around the streets, and we are sitting on the ground to open a shop. Who can outsmart whom?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the second child and said: "The wind has been tight recently, so be careful, especially the rich."

The second master ignored what Li Xuewu said to the second child, and was still thinking about what Li Xuewu said to him.

"So, this person really needs to be investigated."

"Leave him alone"

Li Xuewu said nonchalantly: "If you dare to come fishing with a broken stove, you must have someone in your hands. You can take whatever you want. Tell him, just pay the broken copper price. It is impossible to get even one cent more."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the incense burner with disdain and muttered: "What a crappy antique."

Don't blame him for being crazy. At this time, people are in panic. You can wait for next month, but there are also people who are jumping around.

Next month, anyone who takes the initiative to send it must have it.

antique?

This is a recycling bin, so it’s useless to talk about its historical and artistic value.

We only talk about materials, the price per pound, and the price of junk.

Li Xuewu didn't dare to make such an opening, he was so antique!

Now that you have set up a brand, you are putting yourself out there.

Whenever someone bites it out in the future, the recycling bin cannot bear the tossing.

As long as everything is killed and recycled at the junk price, who dares to say that they have violated the rules?
