"Young man, you look a little familiar. Where have I seen you before?”

Chen Jianbin stepped forward and chuckled."Master Bai, Trust Shop, snuff bottle!”

Master Bai then remembered that the two had met at the Trust Store. He had even told him that he had bought a snuff bottle.

"There's such a big scene today. What's the matter?”

"Master Bai! I bought a bowl from the Trust Store some time ago. I plan to show it to you today!”Carson told him his purpose of coming.

"A bowl?" Chief Bai looked at Chen Jianbin and asked. What kind of bowl? Take it out!"

Afterward, Chen Jianbin took out a white porcelain bowl and handed it to Master Bai. However, Master Bai didn't take it. Instead, he gestured for Chen Jianbin to place the bowl on the small table beside the rocking chair.

Master Bai then picked up the bowl from the small table and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a while and touching it with his hand for a while, he put the small bowl back on the small table.

"Alright, young man! Do you really not understand or are you just pretending? This thing of yours is an old object from the Song Dynasty. If it doesn't have a gap, it will be worth at least a few hundred pieces. Keep it well!”

At first, Bai Yanfu thought that Chen Jianbin knew what he was doing, but later on, he realized that he really didn't know anything. Now, he was a little impressed by Chen Jianbin's luck. He could even encounter this thing.

Bai Yanfu took three more stools and sat them down. He said to them,"Ding Kiln was one of the more famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. It started in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song Dynasty, and ended in the Yuan Dynasty. It mainly produced white porcelain. Look at this bowl. It's light and thin, with exquisite patterns, ingenious shape, and lively ecology.”

"Young man, your luck is very good!”

When Chen Jianbin heard this, he chuckled." Master Bai! You're really amazing. You're really an expert!”He gave her a thumbs up.

When Master Bai heard this, his eyes darkened.

"What expert? It was just that he had encountered a lot of things and knew a little bit!”

"Master Bai! "You're too humble. Who doesn't know that you'll definitely know the origin of an old item?" Lord Bull said with a smile.

"Master Bai." Is there anything good for us to open our eyes and see?”

Chen Jianbin wanted to kiss him when he heard that. The purpose of coming today was to see what Master Bai had. Because he had just arrived, he was too embarrassed to ask. Now that Master Pian-er had spoken for him, he was very happy.

Master Bai narrowed his eyes and said," Alright, there's an elegant show today. I'll show you."”

As she spoke, she stood up and gestured for him to follow her into the house.

When he arrived at the inner room, Chen Carson saw a shelf full of things. There were terrines, jade, strange stones, and so on. Master Bai was also at the side, introducing the origins and history of these things one by one.

It was already evening.

The few of them bid farewell to Master Bai. Chen Jianbin brought Master Niu and Master Pian-er to the cheap store. He ordered a duck, a few dishes, and a bottle of wine. Chen Jianbin rarely went to a restaurant. This time, he specially went to a restaurant to thank Master Niu and Master Pian-er.

As the three of them ate, they talked about the eye-opening events of the day. Lord Niu and Lord Pian-er ate and drank.

After three rounds of wine, the dishes are more delicious.

After Chen Carson paid the bill, the three of them went home.

……

On the third day.

Chen Jianbin asked Li Jianguo to come to Liu Deming's house. The shelf was already done. Liu Deming asked two people to help put the shelf on Li Jianguo's tricycle. He paid Liu Deming a total of 12 yuan including the wood and wages. When he left, Chen Jianbin told Liu Deming to make four more identical shelves.

Li Jianguo rode the tricycle while Chen Jianbin sat on the tricycle and held the rack. The two of them drove the tricycle to a place where no one was around. Chen Jianbin put the rack into the farm warehouse.

Li Jianguo rode the tricycle to send Chen Jianbin to the entrance of the courtyard alley and went back.

After returning to Taoism, Chen Carson appeared in the warehouse immediately. He placed all the antiques he had received previously on the shelves. There were more than a hundred pieces on the shelves. There were still some that were still piled up. He could only wait for the rest of the shelves to be completed before cleaning them up.

…………

On this day, Chen Jianbin changed into a set of relatively tattered clothes at home. He brought the straw hat he used to have at home, and he touched a little pot dust on his face before going out.

It turned out that Chen Jianbin wanted to go through the streets to collect antiques. Chen Jianbin did not plan to collect them near the courtyard house. He planned to collect them at a place further away from the courtyard house.

Along the way, some people thought that he was a beggar. When they passed by a small pond, Chen Jianbin looked at himself and felt very satisfied.

"There shouldn't be any problems.”

Most of the places in the capital now were old courtyard houses. They might not have any gold, silver, and jade.

However, there were quite a few antiques.

As they walked, they shouted,"I'm selling old things, furniture, and ornaments that I don't want!"”

A middle-aged woman who was passing by heard Chen Jianbin's shout and asked,"Do you want a vase?"

"Yes, yes! They're just vases!"

"Then follow me!"

Carson followed the auntie to a courtyard house. There were dozens of people living inside. When they heard that Carson was coming to buy old items, many people became interested.

However, everyone was watching.

When the auntie returned home, she took out a vase-like porcelain. Chen Jianbin took a look and saw that it was a Ming Dynasty porcelain and gave her three yuan. This also made the auntie happy for a while.

When the people in the courtyard saw the auntie take out a porcelain and buy it for three yuan, they became excited and went back to their homes to find some messy things.

Porcelains, wooden products, old tobacco pipes, snuff bottles, brush, ink, paper, inkstone, fans, paintings, bronze products, there were all kinds of things.

Carson waved his hand and stopped everyone.

"Everyone, please line up. As long as it's an old item, I'll buy it. It's just one piece, one to five pieces of bronze, jade, or porcelain. If it's a big piece, the price will definitely satisfy you according to the situation.”

This price was already sky-high in this era. Naturally, many people came to sell it to Chen Carson.

In just 20 minutes, Chen Jianbin had spent more than 50 yuan. For a courtyard house, he had collected more than 30 old items, big and small. He usually gave one or two yuan. Those who were similar to the auntie gave three yuan, but he had never given five yuan.

Although the price that Chen Jianbin gave was a little high, these things were all real. He had used his identification skill to see them. A few of them were from the Republic of China period, but it didn't matter. Anyway, the price wasn't high. After a few decades, he would still earn money.

He packed all these things into two large sacks and placed the fragile ones on the top before leaving the courtyard house.

He walked to a place where no one was around and put the items into his personal space.

After that, Chen Jianbin went to five or six Siheyuan in succession. He spent more than two hours collecting more than 300 old objects.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Jianbin found a pond and washed his face. He took off his old clothes and went straight to Li Jianguo's place.

For the next month or so, Chen Jianbin walked through the streets and alleys. He also collected a lot of things. He spent more than 400 yuan and basically went around the nearby courtyard houses. Those who wanted to sell things had already been sold.

Now, he could receive four or five items a day when it was good, and only one or two items when it was not good.

The five shelves that Liu Deming had previously made were now full. Chen Jianbin had made five more, so he should be able to get them today.
