Antiques with golden eyes

As the footsteps get closer and closer.

The voice calling for help rang out again, "Uncle, hurry up and save my nephew!"

There was a hint of panic in his tone, like a drowning man eager to grab the life-saving straw in front of him.

Shen Yu turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a wooden hairpin tying up his temples, and a fat Taoist in his forties staggering over.

This man was wearing a gray Taoist uniform that had been washed a little white. The hem of his clothes moved east and west with his hasty steps. The cloth belt around his waist was also loose and dangling. The whole person looked miserable. .

When the old Taoist saw such a scene, his brows instantly twisted into the character "Chuan", and his tone was full of displeasure: "Xu Feng, how can you behave in such a panic!"

The fat Taoist Xu Feng ran so fast that he was out of breath for a moment, his cheeks were bulging, like a blind bear who was holding his breath. He was just gasping for air and didn't even bother to respond to the old Taoist's scolding.

Taking advantage of this gap, the old Taoist sighed helplessly and introduced to Shen Yu, "Junior Brother Shen, this is Xu Feng, my junior brother's direct disciple. He usually interprets fortunes for pilgrims in the temple.

"He is an honest man and has some real Taoist skills. He makes a living by interpreting signatures. He charges a fee of 30 to 50 yuan each time, depending on whether the signatures are traditional or simplified.

"Although I won't make a big fortune, I can still make a living and maintain food and clothing."

At this point, Lao Dao paused, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes, "But who would have expected that he would become restless. Starting last year, he would go to Hollywood Road in the antique street of Hong Kong Island. 'Build a small antique shop.

"The antique industry is too deep, and he is not a native of Hong Kong Island. How can he have fun? No, now he cannot make ends meet and is extremely embarrassed."

As the old man spoke, he tapped Xu Feng's chest a few times with his fingers, and then patted him hard on the back.

Something magical happened. With just these few strokes, Xu Feng immediately regained his composure, his breathing became smooth and smooth, his originally pale complexion became rosy, his energy returned instantly, and even his eyes became a little brighter.

"Look at you like this!" The old Taoist glared at Xu Feng, his face full of hatred, "Tell me, what has made you so anxious that you are yelling like this? My junior brother's face will be lost by you. !”

Xu Feng grimaced and complained aggrievedly: "Uncle, my antique shop took on a job a few days ago. The customer was very generous and paid more than one yuan. My nephew was greedy and agreed.

"I thought I would survive by appraising some porcelain calligraphy and paintings, or at least some weird miscellaneous things. With the eyesight I have accumulated over the years, I can handle it at least one or two."

At this point, he actually burped and said with a sad face: "But who would have thought that what the guest brought for me to appraise was actually a foreign gold coin!

"I have a dark eye on those foreign things, and I don't know anything about them! But I already have the 30,000 yuan appraisal fee in my pocket. Firstly, I can't bear to take it out again. Secondly, the customers are pressing me hard right now, so I just want to There is no way to retreat.

"In order not to damage the store's sign, I can only come here to ask for your help, uncle, to save my nephew!"

When the old Taoist heard this, he felt angry rising up in his heart!

Even the veins on his forehead were slightly raised. He took a few deep breaths, pointed at Xu Feng's nose and cursed, "Asshole! You don't understand, do I understand?

"If you don't make a living by interpreting signatures properly, you have to go to the muddy waters of antiques. Aren't you full of food?"

The spittle stars crackled and flew towards Xu Feng.

Xu Feng did not dodge, letting the spit splash all over his face, and still smiled in a flattering manner, as if the spit on his face had become a reward.

"Uncle, hehe, please calm down quickly!" Xu Feng smiled with a smile full of flattery and flattery.

Even the big beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down his cheeks, and he didn't bother to wipe them away. He just kept looking after him, "You don't always talk about it on weekdays. Our view of longevity has a very deep relationship with the Shen family of Chuzhou." ?

"What a coincidence, the genius youngster of the Shen family who appraises treasures happens to be on Hong Kong Island right now!

"My nephew, I have also heard that Uncle Shen, whom I have never met before, has helped Mr. Gu Zhengyan identify many treasures. Why don't you condescend to come forward and ask him for help? I am in urgent need, maybe It’s solved easily.”

Shen Yu was immediately stunned, filled with surprise and surprise.

Pei Yuqin, who was beside him, also widened his eyes, full of surprise. The two looked at each other, and both saw helplessness and a wry smile in each other's eyes.

Okay, here we go in a big circle, and we’re here?

The old Taoist also turned his gaze to Shen Yu, with a trace of thought and hesitation flashing in his eyes. After a while, he coughed lightly: "Junior Brother Shen, I really can't help but involve you in this matter today.

"Hey, logically speaking, I shouldn't disturb your leisure, but although my nephew is a bit reckless, he still has a good character. Now that we are in such a difficult situation, we can't just ignore it. How about you work hard? ?”

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yu's mouth, "What did you say, senior brother? Appraisal of antiques is just a trivial matter, how can it be worth mentioning the hard work?"

"It's just about the appraisal of foreign gold coins. Although I have a little experience, junior brother, I don't dare to vouch for it. I wonder if you can let me know the origin of the first and second gold coins?"

After saying that, Shen Yu glanced at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng never expected that the handsome young man in front of him was Shen Yu, but when he heard that there was a change, he hurriedly replied, speaking as fast as a cannon, "Uncle Master, that guest is really mysterious! Come to the door. Without saying anything extra, he just put a few gold coins and 30,000 in cash into the store and demanded that the identification results be given as soon as possible, without leaving any room for negotiation."

As he said that, Xu Feng swallowed, and the anxious look on his face became a little thicker, and the veins on his forehead trembled faintly, "And the guest also promised that if we appraise it well this time, he will give the gold coin He has a good reputation and will be given a reward of 20,000 yuan afterwards!

"But if you can't identify Chou Yinmao, you'll be in bad luck, and you'll have to pay double the appraisal fee!

"This time, the amount is so huge that it's scary. How can my small shop withstand such a torment? It's really hopeless, so I came to my uncle and uncle in a hurry to ask for help."

"Don't be anxious, speak slowly." Shen Yu raised his hand and comforted him, "What does the guest look like? I mean, does the guest look like a native of China, or a foreigner?

"How old are you? How are you dressing, talking and behaving? Don't miss out on the details."

Xu Feng thought for a while, "So that Uncle Master will know that the guest is from China. At first glance, he looks like he is in his thirties, but after a closer look, he looks like he is in his forties. He is wearing an Armani suit and custom-made leather shoes. , I speak Mandarin, which is very standard! But I can also speak Cantonese!”

Not to mention, he was indeed the one who interpreted the lot for others. After hearing that it was Shen Yu, Xu Feng immediately called him uncle!

Shen Yu nodded slightly, thinking secretly in his heart, and then asked: "What do those gold coins look like, please give a rough description, nephew Xufeng."

Xu Feng grimaced again and thought slowly as he said, "That gold coin looks yellow, so it's most likely made of gold!

"Yeah! It's 100% made of gold. My nephew, I can still understand this.

"As for the specific appearance, there is an eagle carved on it, with its wings spread out, giving it a majestic appearance."

Shen Yu nodded, "What about the other side?"

Xu Feng: "The other side is engraved with the head of a foreign woman, with deep eyebrows and a solemn expression. But which foreign deity it is, I have no idea at all."
