Chapter 301 Join
Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu used a magnifying glass to carefully observe the fan painting and seal over and over again, and they were full of praise. After a while, the two reluctantly put the folding fan away again, and put it away carefully. to the table.

Zhou Wenping exclaimed: "Xiaochen, this folding fan is a rare one of the best! The fan has fourteen ribs on a wide board with a purple flower wax bottom, and the painting on the fan is Bada Shanren's "Lotus Stone Habiting Birds Picture". The bones of the fan with such a fan painting, I guess, a conservative estimate of 90 or [-], and it will be a hot item at the auction!"

The so-called fourteen gears refer to the number of gears divided by the fan bones, generally there are nine gears, eleven gears, twelve gears, thirteen gears, fourteen gears, sixteen gears, eighteen gears, twenty gears, and 22 gears. , 24 files, [-] files or even [-] files.The so-called file is the number of fan bones.The two bones at both ends of the fan are large bones, and the bones between the large bones are small bones. The sum of the number of large and small bones is the number of frames of the fan.

Among them, the [-]th, [-]th and [-]th fan bones are rare.They were popular in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.It is characterized by a square head, wide bones (referring to large bones), and a length of about one foot.Chu Chen's folding fan has this typical feature, but the length is estimated to be about an inch longer than a foot.

"Almost!" Chu Chen nodded with a smile on his face.

"Xiaochen, you've picked up another big leak. It's really annoying to compare people to others!" Lao Wu shook his head and smiled wryly.

Chu Chen spread his hands and said with a smile: "This thing was delivered to me by myself, and I can't help it. As the old saying goes, if you don't take it from God, you will be blamed instead. I don't necessarily let it go from me. Slip it out of your hand?"

Zhou Wenping shook his head and smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Forget it, if you compare your luck with you, it's just asking for guilt. By the way, Xiaochen, what about the opening of the shop you mentioned, how is it going now?"

"The location has been decided, it is at the Jiayi Restaurant now." Chu Chen said.

"There! The location is very good. Have you negotiated the rent or something?" Lao Wu asked.

"I didn't rent it, I bought it directly."

"Isn't it? I know you're rich, but the location of the place isn't very good, but it's not bad. Would the previous landlord be willing to sell the store?" Zhou Wenping asked in surprise.

"I bought it through a friend." Chu Chen said.

Zhou Wenping said with a smile: "Xiaochen, your friend has great energy, but you can buy such a big store, so you don't have to worry about the size of the store being limited in the future."

"Hehe, I just bought such a big store because I don't want to be restricted in the future, otherwise I wouldn't have to wait until now."

Before that, Zhao Xueyi and Sun Xingnan actually introduced him to several stores, but either the store with good location was too small, or the store with large storefront was not located well. If it wasn’t for the consideration of future development, Chu Chen would have already decided which one to choose. The storefront is gone.

"Well, before the store is renovated, you call me to let me know what I have in hand," Zhou Wenping said.

"Brother Zhou, in fact, it's fine if you just transfer your things to me."

"At that time, I will definitely keep some high-quality goods for you, but I will deal with those street stalls. After all, antique shops should have the taste of antique shops."

"What? Brother Zhou, are you going to work in Xiaochen's shop?" The fifth child said in surprise.

"That's right!" Zhou Wenping nodded and said, "After all, my family has two children, and their income from street stalls is not stable. In the future, after they go to school, if the business is not good, the family will be a bit stretched."

"That's true." Lao Wu nodded, bowed his head and pondered for a while, and then said to Chu Chen with some embarrassment: "This...Xiao Chen, don't you know that you are still short of manpower?"

"Need!" Chu Chen asked with some joy: "Fifth brother, are you planning to come to my store too? Then, in terms of salary and treatment, I will definitely not treat you badly."

The fifth child scratched his head: "I have this idea, after all, it's not a problem to set up stalls all the time, it's just my level..."

"Fifth brother, we have known each other for a long time. Your level is more than enough to open an antique shop. How could I push you out?"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Actually, I wanted to ask you to help in the store before, but you said before that you like to set up a stall and be free, so I didn't dare to invite you."

"Hey!" Lao Wuyi slapped his thigh and said, "I had no choice but to say that, Xiaochen, you don't know, we set up a stall every day from morning to night, exposed to the wind and the sun, if there is an income, it will be fine With a regular job, who would want to set up a stall."

Chu Chen said happily: "Okay, wait a few days, let's talk about the things you are responsible for, as well as the salary and treatment. My initial idea was to let you be in charge of the collection of antiques. I don't know what you think ?”

"Okay, that's no problem!..."

Next, the three of them had a heated discussion about the antique shop, and finally decided that Chu Chen was in charge of the overall situation of the antique shop and jadeite matters, while Zhou Wenping was mainly in charge of the daily management of the antique shop. He is in charge of the collection of antiques just mentioned.

At the end, Chu Chen scratched his head, and said to the two of them with some embarrassment: "Well, Brother Zhou and Brother Fifth, there is something I haven't told you all this time."

"what's up?"

"That's right. A while ago, I already found my relatives."

"what!"

Both Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu knew about Chu Chen's affairs. They also helped pay attention to this matter after they heard about Chu Chen's childhood experience. However, it has been several years and they have never heard of any news. Therefore, when they heard such news, both of them showed extremely surprised expressions.

After Zhou Wenping came back to his senses, he said, "I said, Xiao Chen, it's really embarrassing that you don't talk to us about such an important matter!"

"That's right!" Lao Wu also echoed next to him.

Chu Chen bowed to the two of them and said, "Brothers, I am indeed wrong about this, but I can't help it..." As he said that, he briefly explained his previous situation to the two of them.

"My family's situation is a bit special, and I haven't adjusted my attitude towards this matter before, so I haven't mentioned this matter to you all the time. I hope you two don't take offense!"

Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu didn't reply, because they were both in shock at this moment, and they didn't expect that Chu Chen would have such a background.

"Xiao Chen, what do you mean to say, your grandfather is Chu Zhengrong, old man Chu?" After a while, the fifth brother asked with a tongue-tied tongue.

"Yes!" Chu Chen smiled wryly. He never expected that the two of them would have such a big reaction when they heard about his life experience. Now Chu Chen doubted whether it was right to tell them this.

The reason why Chu Chen told them this is because the two of them are both friends and his subordinates, so there is no need to conceal such a thing, but if the two of them are a little alienated from him because of his background, It would be better not to tell them about it.

In fact, the reaction of Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu is quite normal, because in the real life of ordinary people, the big shots are too far away from them, and a sudden appearance in front of them, even if it is only the younger generation of the big shots, will make them feel a little bit shocked. It's unbelievable.

"I didn't expect that! Xiao Chen, you are actually a legendary princeling!" The fifth child said after looking Chu Chen up and down.

Chu Chen spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I said, two big brothers, please don't be like this, my family is my family, and I am me. Could it be that with such a background, I will become superhuman?"

Zhou Wenping laughed and said: "Although you are not superhuman, your ability is superhuman to us."

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Actually, although privileges are fun to use, it's too easy to get lost in them, and a family background like mine is sometimes quite troublesome. I'd rather be born in an ordinary family."

He said that these are really out of feelings. If he was born in an ordinary family, it would be easy for him to find his parents and recognize each other. There is no need to be entangled like before. Things, maybe I'm still struggling with when to call out the word "Parents".

The fifth waved his hand and said, "Come on, I wish I was born in a family like yours. Then I will live a life where I can stretch out my clothes and open my mouth when I have food. Thinking about it, I feel like a fairy life."

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Fifth brother, I think you read too many novels, right? I don't deny that there are playboys, but as far as my friends are concerned, the discipline in their families is very strict, and it is impossible to live like yours." This kind of life. Let’s talk about the brother of a friend of mine. He has been trained by his family as a special soldier since he was three years old. People who eat caterpillars and spiders are all pediatrics. If it is changed to Fifth brother, are you willing?"

What Chu Chen was talking about was Tong Hangqi's brother. When he heard Tong Hangqi talk about this, Chu Chen thought that his brother was not his own.But when Tong Hangqi talked about these things, he also had lingering fears. He said that if he hadn't had an older brother, it would probably be his turn to do this kind of training.

"Isn't it? There is no one who trains children like this. Will there be no problems?" Hearing what Chu Chen said, Lao Wu and Zhou Wenping were very surprised.

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe there is some unique method!" He also asked Tong Hangqi about this at the time, and judging from Tong Hangqi's meaningful smile, he probably should Yes, maybe it's some legendary martial arts cheats.

"Xiaochen, what you said is just an example, right?"

Chu Chen said: "There are really not many such cases, but after all, if you want a family to last for a long time, you always have to pay something as a junior. Therefore, if you want to work hard in a big family, you have to spend that kind of clothes to stretch your clothes." , the day when the meal comes to open your mouth, the possibility is really very small."

"Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, and everyone has their own ideas, but I think that life is only a hundred years or so at most, so you should leave something behind, otherwise it will be hard for you to come to this world for a while. Isn't it a pity that there are no footprints left?"
