I Open a General Store in Early Tang

Zhuang Zhou, unemployed at home, unexpectedly obtained a time-space gate that could travel to the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, and could also carry items with him. Thus, Zhuang Zhou embarked on...

Chapter 199 What kind of breed is your little turtle?

My uncle briefly explained the history of this painting.

He also gave a brief introduction to the artist of the painting, Yuchi Yiseng.

It’s similar to what Zhuang Zhou knows.

However, the mystery of Yuchi Yiseng's life experience is still uncertain.

"So, after all I've said, you should understand how valuable this painting is.

To be honest, as a copy made by later generations, this painting can be said to be indistinguishable from the original.

Although the painter's brushstrokes are a little less mature than Yuchi Yiseng's.

But he was smart enough to completely abandon painting techniques and choose the most realistic brushstrokes.

This person is very accomplished!"

Zhuang Zhou smiled calmly upon hearing this.

I really want to tell him that this painting was actually painted by Yuchi Yiseng himself.

As the original author, Yuchi Yiseng just made a few changes to his painting.

"Dad, from what you said, this painting must be of great collection value, right?"

My cousin couldn't help but ask at this time.

"Of course!"

My uncle said for sure:

"This painting has immense historical value and can be used to study ancient Chinese paintings. It's a true treasure!"

Hearing this, the eldest brother-in-law nodded slightly and couldn't help asking:

"Dad, what do you think the market value of this painting could be?"

Then I heard my uncle snort coldly and say:

"Priceless!"

"Ah! But there should be a specific price!"

My cousin's husband still wants to know some details.

My uncle smiled and said:

"Although this painting is a copy from a later generation, judging by its quality and craftsmanship, if you meet someone who knows the art, they would pay less than this."

As he said this, he raised his hand and showed three fingers.

Seeing this, my cousin-in-law asked:

"Three hundred thousand?"

For a copy made in later times, three hundred thousand is already a sky-high price.

However.

My uncle shook his head and said:

"At least three million!"

“???”

“???”

Hearing this, everyone was even more surprised.

My uncle looked at Zhuang Zhou with eyes full of confusion and surprise.

I can't help but ask:

"Xiaozhuang, what on earth do you have that we don't know?"

Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:

"Actually, I own an antique shop and I collect seals, antiques, calligraphy and paintings on a daily basis."

"You own an antique shop?!"

My uncle was shocked:

“Do you have many more paintings like this in your store?”

Zhuang Zhou shook his head and said:

"This is the only one I've got, and it's not signed, so I'm not sure."

"Hahaha~~~Xiao Zhuang, let alone you, even I, to be honest, can't be 100% sure about this painting."

My uncle glanced at Zhuang Zhou and said:

"I can only tell by the material of the painting. At least it looks very new, so I am sure it is a copy from a later generation."

Zhuang Zhou nodded.

This is indeed a fatal flaw!

Like the ceramics that were brought back.

The sense of age is there.

After all, it doesn't look like jade.

It has been baptized for thousands of years.

Truth at first sight!

"Xiao Zhuang? Speaking of which, I have an unwelcome request that I would like to discuss with you."

"Oh, please tell me, uncle."

"Could you please send this painting to the Kyoto National Museum for an exhibition? I'd like to invite a few friends in the circle to appraise it together, so it can be considered as an exchange, right?"

Zhuang Zhou said without thinking:

"That's totally fine!"

Now the painting is of little value in his hands.

If it could be exhibited in a museum.

It’s a great publicity channel!

"To be honest, the first time I saw this painting, I thought about comparing the original 'Dancing Girl of Kucha' with this copy to see which famous artist created this painting."

"Uncle, sure, you can take it back and study it."

After these words, everyone's opinion of Zhuang Zhou changed.

Such a valuable item.

I really don't care at all!

My uncle couldn't help but sigh:

"Xiao Zhuang, you are really different. I can see that you are a very idealistic person."

Hearing this, Meng Xuan looked at Zhuang Zhou with emotion, feeling warm in her heart.

She was very satisfied with Zhuang Zhou’s performance today.

My cousin was basically speechless the whole time.

Although my cousin's husband also interrupted from time to time, it was obvious that he was overshadowed by Zhuang Zhouquan.

And it's clearly visible.

My uncle takes Zhuang Zhou's attitude very seriously.

All of this will be passed on to my aunt.

It also earned enough face for my mother.

Look at grandpa again.

Although I was watching the fun from the side.

But it was obvious from Zhuang Zhou's expression.

That is to look at the expression of your grandson-in-law!

"Wash your hands and eat!"

My uncle came out of the kitchen carrying a large dish.

Only then did my uncle carefully put the painting away.

His eyes were filled with joy.

I finally found a great treasure today!

This trip to Qingdu is so worth it!

The whole family sat around the table.

I have to say, my uncle’s cooking skills are really good.

The table was filled with dishes.

They all look delicious.

"At noon today, shall we drink the wine Xiaozhuang brought?"

At this time, the white wine was served.

"Ah! Are you really going to drink it?"

Zhang Daqian was actually a little reluctant at this time.

To say it was sold directly.
