Chapter 266 Improving Antique Appreciation Skills
In four months, Chen Jianye is confident that he can take his locksmith skills to the next level.
There will definitely be no problem upgrading to LV7.
As for whether he could reach LV8, Chen Jianye couldn't guarantee it %.
But the LV6 benchwork skill level is enough for Chen Jianye to arrange the next step.
Thanks to Uncle Mei's relationship, as long as he passes the job transfer exam and becomes a senior worker in the second half of the year, he can become a section chief in the workshop.
Or let his father-in-law Ran Dinghong arrange for him to go to university and then enter a technical office.
If he could improve his locksmith skills to level eight, he wouldn't have to go to university and could go directly to the technical office.
Level 6 is enough for Chen Jianye to arrange his future development.
His eyes fell on the antique appreciation skills.
Chen Jianye acquired this skill by chance when he went to Yang Haoming's warehouse to play with antiques.
As for antiques, Chen Jianye mainly wants to collect them and wait for them to appreciate in value.
Even if you don't use it yourself, it's good to leave it to future generations.
Now he collects antiques, relying on Yang Haoming's eyesight. As for whether the things are authentic or not, it is really hard to say.
Yang Haoming also makes mistakes sometimes.
If he hadn't made mistakes, he would have become rich long ago. Why would he collect junk?
Chen Jianye wanted to learn how to appreciate antiques, but he had been working as a fitter and had no time to do so.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of him, Chen Jianye is very excited.
By improving his antique appreciation skills to an advanced level, he can buy antiques on a large scale.
Once he has a general understanding of his level of antique appreciation, he can even try his luck at Panjiayuan.
The gains will definitely be greater than raising your benchwork skills to level eight.
call!
Chen Jianye let out a breath and made a decision.
The skill upgrade card can be used directly on the Antique Appreciation skill.
With a thought, the card in his hand disappeared.
The next moment, a large amount of knowledge about antiques flooded into Chen Jianye's mind.
From the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han dynasties, to the modern Republic of China era.
Bronzes, pottery jars, calligraphy and paintings, weapons, clothes, calligraphy works, currency, etc.
Antique knowledge is simply all-encompassing.
Chen Jianye calmed down and absorbed the knowledge in his mind bit by bit.
It took him nearly an hour to digest the huge amount of information about antiques.
"Luckily, my body has been modified. If an ordinary person were to upgrade a skill to a senior worker in one go, with so much knowledge, it would be easy for his head to explode."
Chen Jianye muttered to himself and went back to his workstation in the fitter class.
He disappeared for an hour and no one asked where he had been.
Now all the workers in the fitter class know that Chen Jianye has someone behind him, and even the workshop leader Mo Qingyou gives face to Chen Jianye.
How could ordinary workers like them possibly bring bad luck upon Chen Jianye?
Chen Jianye stood at his workstation and continued to work.
In my mind, I recalled the vast and complex knowledge of antiques.
If you want to thoroughly digest this knowledge, you have to go and appreciate the antiques yourself. The feeling of holding the antiques in your hands will be even more profound.
Just like the benchwork skills he had mastered, every time he broke through the benchwork level, the system would give him a lot of knowledge about benchwork.
Without practice, the knowledge stored in his mind would be difficult to transform into his real skills.
After get off work, Chen Jianye rode his bicycle home.
On the way, he took out the snuff bottle he had received from Yang Haoming last time from his pocket.
Chen Jianye bought the snuff bottle purely because he believed in Yang Haoming's vision and he really felt that the snuff bottle felt particularly good in his hand.
Now his level of appreciation of antiques has reached a high level.
Looking at the snuff bottle in my hand again, the feeling is obviously different.
The material of the snuff bottle, the painted patterns on it, and the model of the bottle, in Chen Jianye's eyes, the beauty of that kind of handicraft is more dazzling than a goddess descending to earth.
“No wonder those experts can tell at a glance whether an antique is genuine.”
“The real thing is really different.”
Chen Jianye stroked the snuff bottle in his hand, smiling and talking to himself.
Snuff bottles, which were made for the enjoyment of princes and nobles who indulged in sensual pleasures, were created by the best craftsmen of that era.
Regardless of the era, objects made by the best craftsmen are extremely valuable.
Especially when it comes to the cultural and creative field.
For example, literature, calligraphy, painting and so on.
Tang poetry and Song lyrics have lasted for thousands of years and are still popular and enduring.
The cursive calligraphy of Wang Xizhi, the calligrapher saint, is so outstanding that all great calligraphers in history feel inferior to him and are recognized as the best in cursive calligraphy.
The value of the works created by everyone is immeasurable.
The craftsman who made the snuff bottles was also the top ceramic technician of his time. Although snuff bottles are a niche product, they are still very valuable.
Chen Jianye played with the snuff bottle until he saw the gate of the courtyard, then he put it in his pocket.
In order to conceal his presence, he would reach into his pocket every time he took something out of his personal space.
If you suddenly have one more or one less item in your hand and someone sees it, it will cause unnecessary rumors.
Chen Jianye saw Qin Huairu standing under the gate with her bulging belly.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he got out of the car and picked up the bicycle.
"Jianye is back?"
Qin Huairu took the initiative to talk.
"came back."
"Sister-in-law Jia, who are you waiting for?"
Chen Jianye asked more questions.
I was wondering why Qin Huairu, who was so pregnant, was standing at the door basking in the sun instead of staying at home to rest.
"I have something to do."
Qin Huairu said vaguely.
Chen Jianye didn't ask any further.
Since the other person has said that something happened, asking too many questions will only annoy him.
Chen Jianye returned home, but Ran Qiuye had not returned yet.
He turned his palm over and a yellow bird cage appeared in his palm.
Looking at the large-leaf rosewood birdcage with the pattern of fortune, wealth, longevity, happiness and fortune in his hand, a smile flashed in Chen Jianye's eyes.
When he touched the birdcage before, he only felt that it was smooth and comfortable.
Now that I have a high level of appreciation for antiques, I can look at the bird cage again.
Chen Jianye was able to see the craftsmanship involved in making the bird cages, the dexterity of the craftsmen, and the luxury of the princes and nobles of the time who did not care about the materials used.
The more Chen Jianye looked at the birdcage, the more he liked it.
It was not until he heard familiar footsteps at the door that Chen Jianye put the birdcage in his hand into his personal space.
"I am back."
Ran Qiuye entered the house.
"I'm back. Sit down and rest for a while."
"It's too hot. You must be exhausted from walking back here."
Chen Jianye poured a glass of water and handed it to Ran Qiuye.
"It's OK. It won't be hot after sitting for a while."
Ran Qiuye used his palm as a fan to fan his face.
"I'm going to think of a way to buy you a women's bicycle and add an electric fan to your home."
"Otherwise it would be too sad in the summer."
Chen Jianye said.
“That’s going to cost a lot of money.”
Ran Qiuye pouted.
"I have money in my hands, so I won't touch the money saved at home."
Chen Jianye smiled slightly.
Ran Qiuye was immediately happy.
Chen Jianye felt that Ran Qiuye did have some potential to be a miser.
The money can only go into her pocket and never go out.
Unless it is really business, and it is business that must be done.
For example, big things like buying a house.
As for buying yourself a bicycle or an electric fan.
Ran Qiuye also knew that it was indeed an important matter and he should buy it.
But when she thought about spending money, she felt that she could just bear with it and was reluctant to buy it.
