Zhang Xiaotian brought Faang Cheng to drill around the Antique Market, and finally arrived at the entrance of an antique shop that had a bit of an allure! Faang Cheng raised his head and looked at the signboard above the door. The signboard had flowers, birds, fish and bugs carved on it, with the words "Philistine House" written in large characters in the middle.

"This name... Interesting! "

Faang Cheng carefully thought about the three words "Philistine House".

"The owner of this shop is called Wu Yong. On Antique Market, he has this!"

Zhang Xiaotian raised her thumb.

"He is famous for being honest and honest. He is famous for being righteous and is also famous for being an appraiser. It can be said that in our Qinan City, he is one of the top! Uncle Wu boasts of being a mediocre person, he is extremely low-key and never makes a name for himself, which is why he gave his own shop such a name! "

Faang Cheng had a very tough personality. There weren't many people that could make him admire them, it seemed that this Boss Wu must be some kind of hero amongst men. So before Zhang Xiaotian could finish speaking, Faang Cheng carried the gunny sack and walked in!

Upon entering through the entrance, he saw two bronze censers placed on both sides of the entrance. Waves of fragrance were wafting in from the censers! Faang Cheng took a quick look around, the shop was not very big, and only about 60 square meters could be seen. In the center of the hall, there was a red wooden counter, and inside it were a few exquisite little things, most of them were pottery, porcelain, and jade artifacts! There were many objects that Faang Cheng could not even name, and behind the mahogany counter in the hallway, there was a set of wooden chairs, on top of which were tea set, which was approximately where they usually took their guests!

"This little brother, do you want to get in or make a move?"

When the antique shop assistant saw Faang Cheng walking in, he walked over and asked while laughing.

"I don't want to touch it, and I don't want to make a move. I just want to find your storekeeper and give me a palm. Let me see what this thing is!"

Faang Cheng stooped down and placed the gunny sack on his back on the ground. The antique shop's staff looked at the burlap sack that was filled with ground air and could not help but be speechless.

"This little brother, our storekeeper isn't the type to slap everyone's eyes..."

The meaning behind the little fellow's words was very clear. It was that their manager wasn't someone that anyone could see.

"I …"

Xiao Chun'er, this is my friend. She came to Uncle Wu to help me out, please help me call out Uncle Wu!

Zhang Xiaotian followed closely behind Faang Cheng and walked in, and said to the antique shop's waiter.

"Brother Tian, it's you!" "Alright, just you wait!"

When the young lad saw Zhang Xiaotian, he quickly greeted him and went back to the inner hall to get the shopkeeper.

"His attitude has become pretty fast! It seems... You're very familiar with this Boss Wu! "

Since he was young, Faang Cheng had long gotten used to human nature. As he took out the bricks from his sack, he chatted with Zhang Xiaotian at the same time.

"They are all the neighbors who have been in this antique shop for decades. Of course they are familiar with each other!" Uncle Wu and my dad were old friends, but he watched me grow up! "Don't bother about that little Chun'er. She always has a bad habit of watching people cook dishes for her!"

Just as he was saying that, the young man from just now walked out with a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his fifties. Presumably … This person is Manager Wu! Wu Yong was of medium height, with a square face and a small mustache. Although he did not look very impressive, the light in his eyes could not be compared to that of ordinary people.

"Uncle Wu, I have something that I would like to trouble you with!"

Seeing Wu Yong walking out, Zhang Xiaotian went forward to welcome him.

"Is it yours?"

Wu Yong naturally also saw Faang Cheng standing at the side. He slightly nodded his head, and then, looked at Zhang Xiaotian.

"It belongs to my friend here!" This is a brother that I grew up with. Faang Cheng, you have also heard me mention him! "

"Oh, I've heard of it..."

Hearing that they were familiar with each other, Wu Yong put down the airs he was carrying, and when facing Faang Cheng again, he no longer looked like a shopkeeper but had the attitude of an elder.

"What is that thing? Show me!"

After hearing that, Faang Cheng immediately moved the few bricks to Wu Yong's feet.

"Uncle Wu, that's the one …"

Faang Cheng looked at Wu Yong with anticipation.

Wu Yong, who had clearly seen what was on the ground, was slightly stunned, and his face clearly revealed a trace of helplessness and blame.

"He really is showing me everything!" Child, this thing... How much did you get? "

Wu Yong asked Faang Cheng.

"3000!"

Faang Cheng answered truthfully.

"3000?" "Sigh …"

Wu Yong shook his head.

"This thing, if we take it home to rest, it might look bad!"

Hearing Wu Yong's words, Faang Cheng's heart could not help but feel a chill.

"Is the Uncle Wu really just an ordinary green brick?"

He opened his mouth and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"It's fine, just treat it as paying the tuition. I used to come here when I was young!" "If you really want to do this, you can come to my shop if you have nothing to do!"

Wu Yong's intention was clear, even though the 3000 yuan he spent this time was wasted, he could come here to ask about the knowledge of antiques!

Faang Cheng's hopes were shattered in an instant, and her mood immediately became unsightly. Seeing Faang Cheng's furious look, Zhang Xiaotian walked to his side and patted his shoulder.

"Don't be so unhappy. It's not like you've lost money, but there's still a fool who bought a big brick for you with twenty thousand yuan!"

Actually, Faang Cheng was not disappointed that these few bricks were not treasures, but if he denied the value of these few green bricks, then, he could not understand the pattern of how his fingers would heat up!

"Wait a minute, you said someone bought such a rock for twenty thousand dollars? "Who is it?"

Hearing Zhang Xiaotian say that, Wu Yong suddenly asked.

"Yeah, it's our Qinan City hospital's Director Fann. He said that he likes to research old objects, so he bought a piece!"

Faang Cheng truthfully said.

"Is it that old fogey?"

Wu Yong paused for a moment, and then turned his gaze towards the few green bricks.

"Little Chun, get me some hammers and cotton!"

After giving out instructions to his shop assistant, he squatted down and began to carefully study the few pieces of blue brick.

"What's wrong, Uncle Wu?"

Zhang Xiaotian casually said.

"Shh!"

Seeing that the situation seemed to have turned for the better, Faang Cheng anxiously raised his index finger towards Zhang Xiaotian, signalling him to calm down, he also squatted down beside Wu Yong and observed the green bricks in front of him!

Wu Yong received the small hammer and the piece of cotton cloth from Xiao Chun's hands. Then, he carefully wrapped one piece of the blue brick with the cotton cloth, and lightly tapped it against the edge of the blue brick with the small hammer! Not long later, the edge of the brick collapsed! Wu Yong opened the wrapped green brick of cotton, using a small brush to lightly brush away the broken pieces on the green brick. As expected, a corner of the green brick revealed a pattern, it was as though... It was the shape of a sun!

"That was close! I nearly missed it!"

Wu Yong let out a long sigh of relief.

Faang Cheng and Zhang Xiaotian looked at each other with confusion. The two of them looked at Wu Yong in unison!

"3000 pieces..." "Good boy, you've missed it by a lot!"
