Chapter 2 Treasure in the Folk
When Liu Jinyin saw the boy going downstairs, he also smiled. He turned his little eyes and asked shamelessly, "Do you want to learn real kung fu or a three-legged cat?"
"Of course it's true kung fu!"
The yellow finch often talks to Huang Hailin seriously, but it is different from Liu Jinyin. If he is too serious, he will feel abnormal.
October Feng can also be regarded as a gold signboard in the old city. It has been ups and downs for more than ten years, and it is not that there have been a change. Some people have made trouble, business has been light, and they have also faced bankruptcy, and they have lost money.
In a word, for so many years, the pawnshop business in the modern sense has only accounted for one-third of the profit of October Maple. The real money is still those old things and old things. Although October Maple hangs the signboard of the pawnshop, some people are very willing to come to October Maple to sell things. First of all, the darkness of the antique world. Although Maoerkou is the center of antique trade in Qingcheng, everyone knows that there is a mixture of dragons and snakes. There are endless people who cheat people and kill people. There are really good things. If there are no acquaintances, they really dare not go casually. On the other hand, that is the character of Huang Hailin. The character of Qingcheng Huang Erye is well-known, even if it is Earning money is also much better than others. Therefore, in recent years, there have been more and more people in October Maple. However, there are also many people who deliberately make trouble or use fake goods to deceive people. Therefore, to manage October Maple well, eyesight is quite important.
Huang Hailin has heard about these things before, so Huang Hailin asked him to learn antiques from Liu Jinyin. Although he was not very happy, he still felt that the second uncle's arrangement was reasonable.
"Real kung fu? It's really hard to learn kung fu!"
Liu Jinyin was about to raise his hand to carry the small teapot. The yellow finch quickly grabbed it, poured tea for Liu Jinyin, handed him a cigarette, and said with a smile, "Isn't it because it's not easy to learn that I came to consult Uncle Yin?"
"You boy!" Liu Jinyin smiled, lowered his voice at the same time, and said, "Your second uncle is a thief. He knows that I am related to you. There must be something to teach him. If it were someone else, I really don't like it."
What Liu Jinyin said is true. Liu Jinyin was an antique fan when he was young. He wandered around in major antique markets all day long. Because he was too addicted, his family business was ruined by others. His wife ran away with others without leaving him a son and a daughter. Liu Jinyin suffered from this great disaster and suddenly changed overnight. Like a person, he disappeared for five or six years. No one knew where he had gone. After he came back, he became a master in the antique world for a while. The people who calculated him in those years were also revenged by him one by him.
Later, Liu Jinyin was hired by Huang Hailin. Huang Hailin was also kind. On the basis of his salary, he also received a share of antique profits from Liu Jinyin. In this way, Liu Jinyin has only stayed until now in October. Of course, his wife or something has never been married again. Therefore, sometimes he treats the yellow finch as his own. .
"Uncle Yin is good, I remember it in my heart!"
The yellow sparrow smiled.
"You boy!"
Liu Jinyin took a sip of tea and continued to say, "Ancient play, the depth of the water is bottomless, calligraphy and painting, porcelain, jade, stone, iron, silver, gold, bronze, etc. There are too many things to say. If I tell you one by one, I can't finish it for a year and a half, and it doesn't work. This kind of thing. The two words are precious, practice!"
"Practice?"
"Of course, which master in the antique world has not been cheated by others when he first debuted? Are there few people holding a piece of broken copper and iron as a rare treasure?
After saying that, Liu Jinyin took another sip of tea and continued to say, "In a few years, it's time for you, Uncle Yin and I should retire. To be honest, I haven't used up the money I've earned over the years for a long time, so drinking tea, playing chess and chatting in the future, that's my life. As for your second uncle, forget it, I won't talk about it."
"What's wrong with the second uncle?" The yellow finch asked.
Liu Jinyin said, "It's not immoral to talk about the length of people behind their backs. But since you have asked, I will say, your second uncle, his mind is not on October Maple at all. Over the years, I have been in charge of everything. How much money is collected, how much is sold, how much should I share, and how much should I take from October Maple. He basically hasn't seen it, and I've always been on my own. After being in this industry for a long time, I've been used to cheating. On the contrary, I think honesty is the foundation. It's enough for me to sleep well and eat enough. Of course, there are also you to accompany me and watch movies by the way. These days, I'm not immortals. Change it."
When the yellow finch heard it, I felt that Liu Jinyin was right. Huang Hailin spent very little time in the store all day long. Coupled with the matter of Qin Yan, the yellow finch sometimes really couldn't figure out what the second uncle was thinking.
"Uncle Yin, do you know my second uncle?"
Liu Jinyin smiled and said, "I don't understand, and I don't have the heart to think about it. Sparrow, if you have to take care of things in this world, you can't be busy all day long, so just take care of yourself."
"Uh-huh!"
The yellow finch nodded.
Liu Jinyin continued: "However, your second uncle is so kind to you. For so many years, we have also seen it. Therefore, as soon as he told me about you last time, I agreed. After I retire, this October Feng will be handed over to you. Take good care of this store. You may talk about it. No, but it's definitely okay to have a car, a house, and a day when you can also have a second and third breasts.
As Liu Jinyin spoke, he began to get serious again.
The yellow finch smiled and lit a cigarette.
Liu Jinyin touched his shiny hairstyle and then said, "You boy has a good life. It takes two points to operate this October maple. In terms of eyesight, connections and eyesight, I ask myself it's still good. Your boy is also flexible. If you are really willing to learn from me for a few years, you will definitely reach my level. As for the connections, your second uncle has already laid the foundation for you. Your third uncle Yang Qihu and your uncle Zhao Daotu are all famous people in the city. With their help, this October Feng's business and signboard will naturally not fail. Therefore, you should cherish your good life, understand?"
"Thank you, Uncle Yin!"
The yellow finch said a word sincerely.
Liu Jinyin nodded, "I know you are not very interested in these, but you have to remember that Yiduo does not overwhelm yourself. Besides, life is different novels, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, everything costs money. Therefore, your second uncle's starting point is right, sparrow, you will understand at my age. In fact, Peace and calm is a blessing.
The yellow finch is thoughtful. Today's Liu Jinyin is still a little different from the past. He has told himself a lot of big truths, and the yellow finch has not thought about these truths carefully before, but now when I think about it, it is deep in my heart.
"Uncle Yin, I'll listen to you."
Liu Jinyin put the teacup over again, motioned the yellow finch to pour tea for him, and then said, "This antique needs to be identified from many aspects, see, hear, smell, touch, and bite. It sounds a little incredible, but it is an indisputable college question. You know, there are too many people who fake it now. Some treasure appraisal experts who often appear on TV, in fact, to be precise, can only be second-rate means. Real first-class masters are not easy to get out of the mountain. Therefore, it is necessary to make continuous efforts to win over blue. In addition to the practice of maple in October, you also need to go to the cat mouth to understand. In the antique market, think about the subtle expressions between people. Sometimes when you look at things, as long as you look at people, it is enough. There is another point that there are many things that come to our October maple, there are bright and dark, and there are many that can't be seen. Only by thinking about people's hearts, it is easy to negotiate the price.
"What about other than these?"
The yellow finch asked.
Liu Jinyin said slowly, "Sparrow, have you heard a word?"
"What are you talking about?"
"The master is in the folk!"
"I've heard of it!"
"Yes, as I just said, the real first-class masters are ordinary people who are not exposed. In addition to this, there is also a popular saying in the antique world that treasures are in the folk!"
"Are the treasures in the folk?" The yellow finch said.
Liu Jinyin nodded, "Yes, ninety-nine of these things circulating in circulation on the market are ordinary goods and fake goods, and as long as a few treasures appear, once they meet rich people, once they have income, they will rarely appear, unless they encounter real big trouble, use them for emergency, so they should look for treasures and strengthen their ancient To play with identification means, you need to go deep into the people.
"Deep into the people?"
"Yes, I go out once or twice a year, that is, to go to the countryside. This is a good opportunity to pick up leaks. Of course, it is also a good opportunity to experience for myself."
"Uncle Yin, didn't Uncle Seven often go to the countryside before?"
Liu Jinyin smiled and said, "He is a blind cat who meets a dead mouse by chance. It's good to pick up a bowl last time."
Compared with Liu Jinyin, Chen Qijiang is not a little worse, so Liu Jinyin is not bragging about himself when he said this.
"In the antique world, experience is still the king, so I think the effect of practice is much stronger than theoretical knowledge."
Practice is better than theory. I'm afraid this is an eternal truth.
The yellow finch is still very interested in going to the countryside. What this boy likes most in his life is to explore mysterious things and see some rare treasures. Seeing that Liu Jinyin said that he would take himself to pick up leaks, he immediately asked, "Uncle Yin, when will you go to the countryside?"
Liu Jinyin smiled and said, "You boy, show me the ordinary treasure appreciation knowledge these days, and then go to the cat mouth for a few days. Remember, don't think about playing. As for when to go to the countryside, think about it. It's autumn. It's time to harvest season."
The yellow finch was helpless. He could only pick up some information that Liu Jinyin had prepared for a long time. He looked at it carefully, but before he persisted for half an hour, he couldn't stand it. He was always thinking about practice.
A shovel can't dig a well, and a few days of light rain can't make rivers and seas. As Liu Jinyin said, an antique is unfathomable, and how can it be practiced overnight?
