Wang Gang bought the cigarette rod and then went to the courtyard where Mr. Guan lived.
Mr. Guan is Han Chunming's master, nicknamed Admiral of the Nine Gates. According to legend, he is a descendant of Zhenghuang Banner.
Wang Gang was also a little unsure about the tobacco rod, so he wanted to let his master take a look. He was an expert on Qing Dynasty objects, and there was probably no more authoritative Qing Dynasty object appraisal expert than him in the entire capital.
Mr. Guan has only three things in his life, one is ancient items, the other is drinking, and the third is playing chess.
Wang Gang came to visit, so naturally he couldn't leave empty-handed. The Xifeng wine he bought yesterday was to honor his old man.
The courtyard where Mr. Guan lives is not far from the Han family.
However, the place where the Han family lives can only be called a large courtyard, with more than a dozen families crowded into one courtyard.
Mr. Guan lives in an authentic courtyard house, with a single courtyard and a large area.
In fact, Mr. Guan is very mysterious in this area. It stands to reason that his nickname of "Admiral of the Nine Sects" can cause big trouble in this era.
However, he lived a very comfortable life as a child. He didn't work at all, but lived a carefree life. He also occupied such a large courtyard with no one behind him, and Wang Gang didn't believe it.
When Wang just arrived at the master's house, he opened the door without knocking and went in. After thinking about it, he opened the bottle of Xifeng wine without saying anything.
In the TV series, Mr. Guan has a unique skill. He can taste wine just by his nose. Wang Gang wanted to try it.
Wang Gang was standing in the yard, and Mr. Guan was in the back room. Even though they were so far away, the aroma of the wine was not strong. It would be amazing if Mr. Guan could smell any wine.
After waiting for a while, Mr. Guan's voice came from the back room.
"Grandson, I brought Xifeng wine to grandpa, but he still hasn't brought it in."
Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and was completely convinced. He also loved wine, but he couldn't tell the brand of wine just by smell, let alone because they were separated by a room.
"Master, your nose is really amazing." Wang Gang smiled and carried the wine into the room.
Mr. Guan was sitting on the kang, playing chess with himself.
Wang Gang put the wine on the chessboard, and Mr. Guan didn't even raise his eyelids and said:
"If you don't fill up the cup for me, you'll bring wine and you don't know how to bring some meat."
Wang Gang chuckled, went to the cabinet and took out two wine glasses, and poured one glass each for the master and himself.
"Master, it's so boring to play chess with yourself!"
Wang Gang glanced at the chessboard and shook his head disdainfully.
Mr. Guan is unrivaled in appreciating cultural relics and drinking wine, but his chess skills are really bad, and he is very addicted to food.
"A true gentleman watches chess without speaking." Mr. Guan raised his eyelids slightly and said.
Wang Gang looked at the face that was exactly the same as Su Daqiang's, curled his lips, took out a bag of peanuts, and drank by himself.
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. I even brought wine today. You must have something to ask me for!" Mr. Guan was playing chess and drinking at the same time. Although his face was expressionless, he must be in a good mood.
Wang Gang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Master, I got two things recently. I hope you can take care of them."
As he said this, Wang Gang took out the Xuande stove and the tobacco rod and placed them on the table.
Mr. Guan finally opened his eyes and slowly took his hand towards the cigarette rod.
After all, he is a descendant of Zhenghuang Banner and is more interested in things from the Qing Dynasty.
When Mr. Guan saw the two English letters on the cigarette rod, he already knew it.
Then he picked up the Xuande furnace again, looked at it twice and then put it down.
"They're all old stuff."
Wang Gang raised the corner of his mouth and put the Xuande stove away.
As long as these two things are genuine, they can be sold for more than 10 million in forty years, which is 10 million each.
Cheng Jianjun suffered a big loss this time. If he knew that he had given away the treasure, he might regret it so much that his intestines would turn green.
"Master, this cigarette stick is my apprentice's filial piety to you."
Mr. Guan glanced sideways at Wang Gang and asked, "Are you willing to give up?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "What is there to give to the master?"
Mr. Guan finally opened his eyes.
Wang Gang looked at the master fearlessly, and finally Mr. Guan lowered his head first.
"Put this thing here first!"
The meaning of Mr. Guan's words is very obvious. The things are only temporarily stored and will be returned to Wang Gang later.
In the past, antique shops emphasized teaching and mentoring. You would study with the master for three years, help the master with odd jobs for three years, and then work with the master for another three years. You can't just get started by reading a few books.
No matter how much knowledge you have, you cannot develop your eyesight. There is a completely different relationship between having a master to teach you and not having a master to teach you.
If Mr. Guan hadn't introduced Han Chunming to the industry and offered his collection to Han Chunming to view, he wouldn't have been able to enter the industry so quickly.
Now that Wang Gang had accepted everything from Han Chunming, he naturally also took over his responsibilities.
In Wang Gang's view, Han Chunming has two responsibilities, one is Han's mother, and the other is the master.
These two old men, Wang Gang, must be taken care of until they grow old, and they will be filial piety in the future.
As for other brothers and sisters, just help them if they can in the future.
Wang Gang drank some wine at the master's place, asked about the allusion of Xuande furnace, and then left to go home, and the treasure was naturally stored in the space.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Wang Gang met Su Meng, as if Su Meng was waiting for him on purpose.
"Han Chunming, are you free tomorrow? Let's go to Beihai Park to play!" Su Meng said to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Not tomorrow. I have to go to work to make money. I don't have time to play with you."
Su Meng was taken aback, maybe she didn't adapt to Wang Gang's change of attitude.
In the past, as soon as Su Meng opened her mouth, Han Chunming would rush over, not to mention Beihai Park, even to Jinmen.
"What about the day after tomorrow?" Su Meng asked through gritted teeth.
Wang Gang said impatiently: "I'm not as leisurely as you. I have to find a job and work part-time, so I don't have time to play."
After saying this, Wang Gang walked inside and ignored Su Meng.
Su Meng stood there, her face turning green and white, and she couldn't get off the stage.
Cheng Jianjun, who was hiding in the dark not far away, had a panoramic view of everything. He was secretly happy, thinking that the incense burner was not given away in vain.
After Wang Gang returned home, he took a drink of water first, and then Cheng Jianjun ran over.
"Chunming, I'm convinced about your job. My dad found you a job in a food factory."
Wang Gang smiled and said, "You also go to work in a food factory?"
Cheng Jianjun shook his head and said: "There is only one quota in the food factory, man, I must be loyal enough!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It’s strange what Wang Gang believes in Cheng Jianjun.
"Did you go to see Su Meng? Su Meng didn't want to be a worker, so you didn't want to go either, so you gave it to me.
Do you want your dad to find a more respectable job?" Wang Gang sneered.
Cheng Jianjun's smile froze, feeling that he had become smarter recently.
"Are you going to the food factory or not? If you don't go, I'll let someone else do it." Cheng Jianjun said angrily in embarrassment.
"Go, of course."
Wang Gang thought that having a worker status would make everything easier, and it wouldn't be a problem to hang around at home all the time.
In the afternoon, Wang Gang went to buy some gifts and sent them to Cheng Jianjun's father.
When someone helped him find a job, Wang Gang couldn't say anything at all.
Cheng's father initially tried to shirk the gift, but then Wang Gang put the gift down and he accepted it. He also praised Wang Gang for knowing etiquette and that he would have a bright future working in the factory in the future.
After accepting the gift, Cheng's father became more active in his work and quickly completed the work of the food factory. He also personally took Wang Gang to meet him.
Wang Gang was assigned to the bread production workshop, which was an advantage and disadvantage in this era.
Cheng's father said hello to the workshop director and asked Wang Gang to do easier work.
When Wang Gang completed his work, Mother Han was the happiest and even called the boss and others back.
When Boss Han heard that Wang Gang was assigned to the bakery workshop, he was also happy for his younger brother.
"Xiaowu, when you have a job in the future, you will have to pay for food just like the second brother and second sister." Boss Han said to Wang Gang in an elder brother's manner.
"Okay, I will give mom ten yuan every month from now on." Wang Gang agreed immediately.
If he hadn't been worried about giving too much to Han's mother, he would have even wanted to hand over all his salary to improve his family's life.
"You don't have to pay ten yuan, five yuan is enough." Mother Han said with a smile: "You are old too, and you will have to date someone in the future, so you have to keep some money."
Boss Han also said: "Xiao Wu, you have to plan for the future. You can't spend money lavishly like before. We won't lend you money again in the future!"
Wang Gang knew that although his elder brother's words were unpleasant, they were all for his own good.
"After you get your first month's salary, buy something to send to Uncle Cheng." The eldest sister reminded.
"Xiao Wu gave it away a long time ago." Mother Han said with a smile.
The eldest sister was stunned for a moment, then nodded, thinking that her brother had indeed grown up and understood the ways of the world.
"After giving it away, I have to give it away again." Brother Han said: "Not everyone can enter the food factory. This is too much of a favor."
Wang Gang nodded and said, "I understand, brother."
Boss Han looked at the other brothers and sisters, and then took out a pair of cloth shoes from his bag.
"Your sister-in-law asked me to give this to you as a congratulations on finding a job."
Then other members of the Han family also brought out gifts. Although they were not valuable items, they were still thoughtful.
