Han Chunming hadn't come yet, but his second uncle Zhou Liangping came suddenly.
"Second uncle, why are you here?"
Zhou Chen poured a cup of tea for Zhou Liangping, and as soon as they sat down, he asked curiously.
Zhou Liangping said with a smile: "I just have a rest today. It has been three months since you came back. You are almost rested. I want to ask you about your work."
Zhou Chen asked: "Second uncle, are you helping me find a job?"
After three months of rest, he was in a much better mood, and he was not averse to work, but he still had his own ideas about what kind of work he should do.
Even though he is only twenty-four years old now, he must start from now on to maintain his health and extend his life. He does not want to do hard work or hard work. It is best to have something relaxing.
After waiting for another two years, the college entrance examination will be resumed. It is necessary to enter the university. He plans to attend the archeology department or the history department of the university to enhance his ability to identify antiques.
"Well, let me ask your opinion on what you want to do."
"Second uncle, to be honest, I don't know what I can do. How about you tell me what kind of job is available and see if it's suitable for me?"
Zhou Chen has no doubts about Zhou Liangping's ability. After all, he is also the deputy director of the branch in charge of law enforcement. He must have connections. Finding a good job will definitely not be a problem.
Zhou Liangping asked: "What do you think of working in our bureau? I can arrange a police officer for you first. After a few years, I will find a way to mention you."
"Don't."
Zhou Chen refused without hesitation. He was not opposed to being a film police officer, but he knew that this line of work was not easy. He would work early in the morning and stay late, dealing with trivial matters. Occasionally, he would encounter a big eucalyptus, and there would be certain dangers.
sex.
For a person who is determined to live a hundred years, being a police officer is relatively risky compared to other jobs.
The most troublesome thing is that the work of the police is too busy and there is no way to catch fish.
"Second uncle, to tell you the truth, I actually have plans for my future. The current situation is much more challenging than in previous years. According to my deduction, the college entrance examination may be resumed in a few years. I
I want to take the college entrance examination in the future.”
"College entrance examination, you?"
Zhou Liangping looked at Zhou Chen in surprise.
Zhou Chen was quite embarrassed, because before he traveled back in time, he had not even passed the high school entrance examination. Now he suddenly said that he wanted to take the college entrance examination. Who wouldn't be surprised?
"Yes, Second Uncle, I have figured out a lot of things in the past few years since I joined the queue. Knowledge changes destiny. Studying and going to college is the best way out. So now I want to find a relaxed job, study while working, etc.
The college entrance examination has resumed, and I believe I will be able to get into university."
What he said made Zhou Liangping impressed.
Although his nephew was not very good at studies and had not been admitted to high school, he was still relatively filial and obedient. He felt that Zhou Chen would not lie to him.
So he said happily: "Xiao Chen, the fact that you have such an awareness shows that you have really grown up. I don't know when the college entrance examination will resume, but since you have this intention, my second uncle will definitely support you."
, I want to think about what kind of job is suitable for you."
After thinking for a while, he spoke again: "Xiao Chen, what do you think of the archives room in our bureau? The work in the archives room is much easier than front-line work. It's just sorting out information. Things are not that complicated.
It’s complicated, but if you go, you may not be able to get the establishment for the time being, and you’ll have to wait for a while.”
"Is there a night shift in the stall?" Zhou Chen asked.
"There are shifts in the stalls, and they will be on night shift."
When Zhou Chen heard this, he quickly shook his head: "Forget it, if I work the night shift, I will lose sleep."
"You boy."
Zhou Liangping didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that Zhou Chen was just making excuses. He must not be able to bear the hardship, so he refused.
As an iron-blooded man who came out of the war, he was actually dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's inertia and fear of hardship, but Zhou Chen was the only male in their old Zhou family. Back then, the eldest brother entrusted his nephew to him. Since the nephew
If you don't want to endure hardship, then forget it.
"If you don't want to go to the stall, then you have to have a direction for what you want to do, right?"
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Well, as long as I can relax, there won't be so many trivial matters that delay my study, and I don't have to work night shifts, the salary doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter if I have a staff or not."
After all, to Zhou Liangping's ears, it was just one word: lazy.
Zhou Chen didn't care that he was misunderstood. His behavior would make anyone think like this.
"If it matches what you said, I really have a place to go. I have an old friend who works in the library. I can ask him if he still has a shortage of people there."
Zhou Chen's eyes lit up after hearing this. The library is great. You don't have to work night shifts in the library, and the work is not too heavy. You can also read books casually. This job is really suitable for him.
"Second uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"You are still being polite to me, but I told you in advance that if you really go, you can't be lazy for me."
Zhou Liangping was still worried about Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen assured: "Second uncle, don't worry, I'm really not that kind of person."
He has traveled through so many worlds and suffered a lot of hardships. He is not really lazy, but just wants to complete the task.
Zhou Liangping came and left in a hurry, saying that he would go find his old friend now and help him arrange work.
As soon as Zhou Liangping left with his front foot, Han Chunming came with his back foot.
"Zhou Chen, open the door quickly."
Zhou Chen opened the door and saw Han Chunming carrying a large cloth bag.
"I'm holding something and it's hard to push the cart. You push the bike in and we'll go in and take a look."
He carried the bag and Zhou Chen pushed the bicycle, walked into the yard, closed the door, and then the two quickly walked into the main room.
Han Chunming carefully placed the bag on the ground and gently opened the knot.
"It's such a big bag, how much does it have to be?"
Zhou Chen has seen copper coins before, but this is the first time he has seen such a big bag. The main reason is that he was not interested in these before.
Han Chunming opened the bag and revealed the densely packed copper coins inside, all yellow, green, and rusty.
"Even though there are so many, let me tell you, most of them are of little value, and there may be only a few that are valuable. Zhou Chen, you go find some useless sheets, we are going to dump them out.
, look slowly, search slowly.”
The useless sheets were not found, so Zhou Chen found a large piece of useless linen.
Watching Han Chunming carefully pour these copper coins on the linen cloth, they were full of large pieces, many of them were rusty, and there were too many.
"Just look for them one by one?"
Zhou Chen looked at so many copper coins and asked Han Chunming in shock.
Han Chunming rolled his eyes: "Otherwise, finding old items depends on your eyesight and searching for treasures is the fun part. If you have any gloves at home, bring two pairs over."
Zhou Chen didn't argue and took out two pairs of cotton gloves from the room, and Han Chunming quickly put them on his hands.
"There must be at least several thousand copper coins here, and many of them are rusty. It would take a long time to look at them all."
Finding valuable coins from thousands of copper coins is not a simple matter.
Some copper coins are rusty, covering up their true appearance, and need to be cleaned using special techniques;
Some copper coins may not even be judged by Han Chunming himself, so now he needs to do a rough search to find out the ones that may be valuable, and then slowly compare them...
Seeing that Zhou Chen was also wearing gloves, Han Chunming said: "Be careful, many of these are rusty. If you scratch your hand, you will be in trouble."
"I know this better than you."
Zhou Chen is a doctor, and he knows much more about this kind of thing than Han Chunming.
He picked up a few copper coins and asked, "How can you tell these things apart? Which copper coins are valuable and which are worthless?"
Han Chunming raised his head and said in shock: "You don't understand?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Han Chunming was speechless: "Didn't you say before that you were interested in old objects? If you are interested, how could you not understand?"
Zhou Chen retorted: "You are still interested in Su Meng, but do you understand her?"
Han Chunming choked up for a moment and muttered: "Can this be the same? Besides, who says I don't understand Su Meng? I understand it very well."
"Okay, you know, you know, stop comparing yourself, tell me quickly, what do you think of this thing?"
"Brother, are you kidding me? Can I explain this in just a few words?"
Han Chunming was confused by Zhou Chen, but he was relieved in his heart, because if Zhou Chen didn't understand, then he wouldn't have to worry about his baby being snatched away by Zhou Chen.
'Well, at worst, if I find something good, I can give him some so I don't have to pay him back. That's perfect.'
After thinking about it, he smiled and said casually: "If you are interested, just take a look. If you find it troublesome, just sit there and wait. If I find something good, I will let you study it."
After saying that, he stopped paying attention to Zhou Chen, and began to study one copper coin after another with a serious expression.
Zhou Chen was naturally not idle either. He really didn't know how to identify it, but he still picked up the copper coins and looked at them carefully.
He didn't know the value of copper coins, but he knew characters. Even ancient and traditional Chinese characters were trivial to him.
After looking at dozens of copper coins, Zhou Chen found that most of the copper coins here were from the Qing Dynasty, and some were from the Ming Dynasty. No coins from other dynasties were seen yet.
Indeed, as Han Chunming said, most of these copper coins are rusty, and you can tell at a glance that they have not been well maintained.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhou Chen saw that Han Chunming had not moved at all, but he still studied the copper coins very seriously, looking at them repeatedly, and wiping them again from time to time.
Helpless, he could only put down the coins in his hand and go to the kitchen to cook. In the past, others were waiting for him, but now, he had to cook for Han Chunming.
Han Chunming was not aware of Zhou Chen's departure at all. He was now completely immersed in the sea of copper coins.
An hour later, Zhou Chen brought the food to the table and saw Han Chunming still studying there, so he shouted.
"Chunming."
"ah?"
"Stop, go wash your hands quickly, come over to eat, and study after eating."
Han Chunming saw that Zhou Chen had even prepared the food, and then he realized that it was already noon.
"good."
When Han Chunming ate, he really had no image at all.
"Zhou Chen, your cooking is just a little worse than my mother's, but it's too extravagant for you to eat meat for two days in a row and cook so much meat."
"I can't even stop you from eating, you can't stop talking."
Zhou Chen asked: "I think it took you two or three hours to read just that little bit. At your speed, wouldn't it take several days to read the whole thing?"
Han Chunming said: "This is called fine work and fine work. In our industry, we are not afraid of wasting our efforts, but we are afraid of making mistakes. If we make mistakes and the good things are gone, it will be a big loss, right?"
In fact, the most important thing is to be cautious. Although he has studied with Mr. Guan since he was a child and has a good level, he is still young after all.
At least when it comes to copper coins, he can't guarantee that he won't make a mistake, so naturally he has to look carefully, compare carefully, and study carefully.
You are right, Zhou Chen also agrees.
For those who play antiques, picking up something missing is definitely the happiest thing, while picking something up, even if it is not a shame, is also a very bad mood.
Appraisal of antiques requires knowledge on the one hand, and rigor and conscientiousness on the other.
"Have you picked out any good treasures after looking at them for several hours?"
In fact, these days, Zhou Chen has also thought carefully about antiques. When he really becomes a top rich man, he will definitely not be short of them. The worst he can do is spend money to buy them.
Depending on his understanding of the system, the tasks he completes through different methods, and the final rewards will definitely be different.
If the treasures he collects are valuable enough, the rewards he will receive after completing the mission will definitely be richer than collecting ordinary antiques.
Therefore, if conditions permit, he feels that it would be more beneficial to him to collect more and more precious treasures.
So if he compares the antiques he obtained through scavenging with the antiques he spent a huge sum of money to buy that have been appraised, might the final reward be different?
Although all this is his guess, Zhou Chen feels that this possibility is very high.
If he were the system, he would definitely be more inclined to use his own abilities to pick up valuable treasures and get richer rewards.
This is also the reason why he thinks that when he goes to university to study archeology in the future, it is to cultivate his appraisal skills in this world.
Han Chunming pointed to the place where he had just been: "Look, I just divided the copper coins I saw into three parts, one part of which I think has little value; the other part may be valuable, and this part needs
I appraised it a second time and a third time; I am not sure about the last part, I have to study it again, and if it doesn't work, I have to ask my elders for advice."
"Are you planning to conduct an appraisal for the third time? Are you busy with so many copper coins?"
In such a short period of time, I only saw less than a tenth of it. Although most of them were worthless, there were also quite a few parts that needed to be re-identified.
If you follow this method and read them all, it will take at least several days, or even longer.
Han Chunming said: "This is also because I am not particularly good at copper coins, so I am so slow. If it were my master, I might be able to finish it within a day."
Zhou Chen didn't ask him why he didn't go to his master. For those who are collectors, if they encounter a treasure, they must hide it themselves. This is not a matter of filial piety, but human nature.
Just like someone who likes to collect Ultraman, if you have a limited edition Ultraman and your dad happens to like it too, will you easily give it to your dad?
Han Chunming had similar thoughts, and the other thing was that he wanted to find a good treasure and then go to the master to show it off.
