City: Develop Skills And Make Money By Setting Up A Stall With Qingmei

Chapter 26: Lao Han’S Request, Antique Appreciation

"Pack your things and prepare to go back." Lin Hao said to Liu Yuwei.

The strong wind brought with it the feeling of humidity, and it was obvious that a heavy rain was about to begin.

Liu Yuwei and Lin Hao both moved very quickly. In a short while, they loaded the gas tank, incubator, and everything they could take away onto the tricycle.

As for the plastic tables, chairs and benches, they had to be left in the stall, placed under the awning, and tied with ropes to the steel pillars of the awning.

Even if it rains heavily soon and the pedestrian street is flooded, it won't be a big deal if these plastic products are placed here, at least they won't be washed away by the water.

"let's go!"

Lin Hao pedaled and walked outside the pedestrian street.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin... please wait a moment..."

Lin Hao was pedaling hard when he heard someone hailing him from the side.

Lin Hao braked and turned around to see the antique seller, Lao Han, waving to him.

"Old Han, it's going to rain soon. Why aren't you leaving? Aren't you afraid that your antique baby will get wet here?" Lin Hao frowned and shouted.

Ten out of ten antiques sold by this old Han at his street stall are fake, but even if they are fake antiques, they cannot be exposed to heavy rain. If the quality is ruined by the rain, who will he cheat?

"Excuse me, brother Lin. I saw last time that you are knowledgeable about antiques. And since you can write so well, you should also know calligraphy and painting, right?"

Lao Han chuckled, holding a lot of scroll-like things in his arms, and ran to Lin Hao.

"I understand, Old Han, what do you want to do?"

Lin Hao replied calmly.

The weather has changed drastically. If Lao Han was not an acquaintance, Lin Hao would not bother to talk to him.

Old Han had a smile on his face, "Brother Lin, I happen to have a friend here who brought some paintings. See which ones you can keep and which ones you can't..."

As he said that, Old Han pointed behind him. Under the awning of his own antique stall, there was an old man about the same age as Old Han. He stood on tiptoes and looked towards this place. He should be the friend that Old Han mentioned.

Then, like a magic trick, Lao Han took out a piece of plastic cloth from his waist and spread it on his hand, and then carefully unfolded the calligraphy and painting in his hand with his palm.

"Old Han, how can I spare the time to help you? It's probably going to rain soon. I'm in a hurry to go home!"

Lin Hao rolled his eyes and refused without thinking.

He and Lao Han knew each other, but their relationship was not good enough to help him read these calligraphy and paintings at this stall.

And he knew very well that the friends Lao Han mentioned were just antique dealers like him.

These so-called paintings must be fakes, otherwise they would have been taken away by those antique dealers and would not fall into the hands of the lowest antique dealers like Lao Han.

A situation like this is actually another antique dealer who has collected a few fake paintings, but is not sure whether the fake paintings are good replicas or not, and plans to sell them to Lao Han in one go.

Lao Han wanted this batch of calligraphy and painting, but he was not good enough, so he asked Lin Hao to take a look.

It was originally Lao Han's own business matter. Lin Hao couldn't get any benefits, so why should he help him?

Seeing that Lin Hao was about to leave, Lao Han hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, don't leave. Look at this painting. Take a second look..."

Lao Han was quite thick-skinned and waved the painting in front of Lin Hao.

Lin Hao frowned and was about to say something, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at a painting in Lao Han's hand. The words that just came to his mouth were swallowed by him, and he turned to: "Old Han, help You can, but I won’t work in vain.”

Hearing that Lin Hao was willing to help him 'inspect the goods', Old Han was immediately happy, "As long as Brother Lin is willing to help me check the quality of these calligraphy and paintings, Brother Lin can choose one of the paintings and take it away without any problem!"

Lao Han knew that Lin Hao could write so well and knew all about antiques. He was definitely much better at calligraphy and painting than he was.

Lao Han wanted to buy this batch of goods from other dealers. With Lin Hao, a knowledgeable person, he could make a profit without losing money. Moreover, Lao Han knew better than anyone else that the calligraphy and paintings in his hands were all imitations and the cost was basically non-existent. It’s not worth much, so what’s the point of giving a pair to Lin Hao?

As long as Lin Hao is willing to help him check the quality of these paintings, it is definitely worth letting Lin Hao take away the secondary paintings!

Lin Hao stopped the car when he heard Lao Han's agreement.

"Yuwei, I'll help Lao Han look at the paintings. I'll be back in a moment."

Lin Hao turned to Liu Yuwei and said.

Liu Yuwei burst out laughing: "Lin Hao, I didn't expect you to become an expert in treasure appraisal? I just want to see the fun!"

Lin Hao parked the car under the awning of Lao Han's stall and got out of the car with Liu Yuwei.

Old Han quickly set up a table, put a plastic sheet on the table, and spread out several paintings.

At this stall, the wind was not as strong as before, but Old Han still took out the paperweight and pressed the four corners of each painting carefully to prevent the wind from blowing the paintings.

"Old Han, why can't you still trust me? You even found a knowledgeable person to inspect the goods."

Lao Han's dealer friend said with a frown.

"Grandma, I was tricked by you last time. Can I trust you?"

Old Han jumped on his feet and cursed, making Liu Yuwei laugh.

These veterans in the antique business are so cruel that they even trick their own people. It seems that Lao Han has been tricked before, so he asked Lin Hao to help him see how these calligraphy and paintings were doing.

The calligraphy and painting dealer was a little dissatisfied when he heard what Lao Han said, but he just muttered a few words in his mouth and said nothing more.

Lin Hao took advantage of the light lit by Lao Han and carefully looked at the paintings spread out on the table.

When Lin Hao identifies paintings, he has the demeanor of an expert on TV. Sometimes his brows are furrowed, and sometimes they are relaxed. Sometimes he looks at a corner of a painting for a long time before revealing his sense of enlightenment.

"Ding! [Antique Appreciation] Proficiency +9!"

"Ding! [Antique Appreciation] Proficiency +13!"

Although Lin Hao recently acquired the skills of antique appreciation and could identify these calligraphy and paintings, his skill level is only elementary. It was very difficult to identify these calligraphy and paintings at first.

However, with Lin Hao's careful identification, his proficiency in antique appreciation has also soared. More and more knowledge about antique calligraphy and painting poured into Lin Hao's mind as his proficiency increased, making Lin Hao more confident.
