Chapter 4 Dragon Pattern Vase

  As Liu Yi Yang walked out of the small hut, he unexpectedly found that Lin Feng was nowhere outside.

  The warehouse door was tightly locked, and after a moment's thought, Liu Yiyang also locked the small house door from the inside and walked out.

  Outside, there was another safety door. The safety door wasn't locked. Liu Yi Yang's eyebrow twitched involuntarily. Normally, Lin Feng managed the warehouse very strictly and wouldn't go out during work hours unless it was necessary.

  "Not bad, not bad, really good stuff! I was worried about the shortage of goods, and now this timely rain has arrived. Old Huang, this batch of Qinghua porcelain has solved my urgent problem, haha!"

  As soon as Liu Yi Yang walked out of the insurance door, he heard a bright and cheerful laughter coming from the VIP reception room. The voice was very familiar to him, it was Lin Liang's voice.

  "It was just luck this time, I happened to meet someone who was unloading their goods, so I took everything!"

  This time it was a strange voice, and the voice also revealed a pleasant tone.

  As his voice fell, Liu Yi Yang also walked out to the second floor lobby and happened to see Lin Feng standing at the entrance of the VIP room.

  Lin Feng didn't leave, he just walked out. Thinking about the conversation he had just heard, Liu Yi Yang immediately understood what was going on.

  The business in the store has been good these days, and some sources of goods have become tight. Although he did not participate in sales, he could also find that the inventory was decreasing through maintenance.

  Especially ceramics, most of what he used to maintain were ceramics, now the number of ceramics is not even half, enough to see the problem.

  New goods have arrived, Lin Feng needs to check and put them in storage, so he will naturally come out to take a look.

  As soon as Liu Yi Yang saw Lin Feng, he immediately turned around and walked towards Lin Feng, laughing and saying: "Brother Lin, I've already finished today's work, everything is inside, I didn't touch anything!"

  Lin Feng smiled and nodded, but before he could speak, a person walked out from inside. Seeing Liu Yi Yang, he was slightly stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said: "Little Liu, you're just in time, come take a look at the new batch of goods that just arrived!"

  The person who came out was Lin Liang, smiling very happily, and it can also be seen that his mood is quite good.

  "It's inconvenient for me!"

  Liu Yi Yang was also stunned for a moment, then said a sentence with some hesitation still on his face.

  Xuan Ya Zhai is just an antique shop, but it's also a company with strict management. The system here is very strict, and everyone has different divisions of labor, only doing their own work.

  His job is just to maintain antiques and has nothing to do with sales or procurement.

  "What's inconvenient about it? Come in and take a look, it'll broaden your horizons!"

  Lin Liang burst out laughing and, without waiting for Liu Yi Yang's reaction, directly pulled him into the VIP room. At the same time, he instructed Lin Feng to call the finance department to prepare for registration and payment.

  The antique shop collects antiques and pays cash on the spot.

  The VIP room is very large, with sofas and tea tables on both sides, and a spacious glass table in the middle.

  This table is mainly used to display large pieces of antiques or multiple pieces of antiques for appreciation. The glass is transparent, so it can be seen clearly from top to bottom, no matter where it is placed.

  Lin Liang was very happy today and directly took Liu Yi Yang into the VIP room.

  The VIP room had three people besides Lin Liang. Liu Yiyang didn't recognize a fat man wearing a floral shirt, but he knew the other two people.

  These two are appraisal experts in the store, Liu Yi Yang only knows that one of them has the surname Zhang and the other has the surname Ye.

  On the glass table, there were over a dozen pieces of Qinghua porcelain of varying sizes. When Liu Yiyang entered, two people were huddled together, heads down, examining each piece with magnifying glasses, ignoring everyone else.

  "Lao Huang, let me introduce you, this is Liu Yi Yang, the maintenance master in my store. Don't look at how young Xiao Liu is, his skills are quite good!"

  Lin Liang burst out laughing and introduced Liu Yi Yang to the fat man in the floral shirt, while also revealing the identity of the man in the floral shirt.

  This man surnamed Huang is a south-north antique dealer, specializing in finding sources for antique shops. Because he has been doing this for a long time, Old Huang is also an old hand in this business and usually has dealings with many antique shops.

  This time he brought a batch of goods from the south and called Lin Liang before getting off the train. He first sent this batch of goods to Xuan Ya Zhai, and Liu Yi Yang was ready to go out to pick him up at the train station when he arrived.

  Liu Yi Yang had just stretched out his hand when Old Huang turned around, seemingly not having seen him, causing a hint of embarrassment to appear on Liu Yi Yang's young face.

  Lin Liang was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly pulled Liu Yi Yang again, laughing and saying: "Little Liu, come and take a look at these few things. Old Tian is preparing to return to his hometown in the south soon, and maybe all the things in the store will be left for you to take care of!"

  Lin Liang was too excited today and forgot that Old Huang has a very strange temper.

  Twenty years ago, they started digging up the earth, now they are antique dealers traveling all over the country. It would be strange if they didn't have a weird personality. They say different things to different people. Liu Yi Yang is just an ordinary maintenance worker, someone like him is not even in their line of sight, naturally they don't want to bother with him.

  Liu Yi Yang didn't think much of it either, nodded slightly and followed Lin Liang to stand in front of the glass table.

  Lin Liang's words made him pay attention to his heart, Lao Tian was the master who took care of the valuable antiques in the store and also taught him all this.

  Listening to Lin Liang's words, Lao Tian is going to leave. No wonder Lin Feng arranged a very valuable ancient jade decoration for him today, apparently to temper him, and of course, there is also the intention to test his mind.

  From now on, all the things in the store will be taken care of by myself, which makes Liu Yi Yang a little surprised and also excited. With more things to take care of, his salary will naturally increase. Old Tian's weekly salary is over 2,000 yuan, and his working hours are much shorter than his. He doesn't ask for as much as Old Tian, just a few hundred yuan more would be fine.

  Although it's just a few hundred yuan, it's of great help to him. His younger brother at home can also go to school and live a better life.

  Concentrating his mind, Liu Yi Yang carefully examined the few pieces of Qinghua porcelain in front of him. These Qinghua porcelains all had a bit of dust on them and would need to undergo a meticulous maintenance process once they were stored in the shop.

  Fine maintenance and daily cleaning are different, antique shops sell goods and also purchase goods. The sources of goods purchased are diverse, apart from collectors themselves coming to the door to promote sales, most are old antique dealers like Huang or people sent by the shop itself to collect purchases.

  Many of the acquired items are not completely clean, which requires a major cleaning to restore the original appearance of the treasure. This is fine maintenance, and fine maintenance is much more troublesome than usual. Liu Yi Yang doesn't do this kind of maintenance often, so it's just right to take a look at these things first. If you want him to do the maintenance, you can also prepare in advance.

  On the table, there are eleven pieces of Qinghua porcelain in different sizes and shapes.

  Most of them are Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain, with a few bearing year marks, but all are Guangxu marks of the late Qing Dynasty. The value of such porcelain is not low either. A single Guangxu-marked blue and white porcelain vase can be estimated to be worth at least several hundred thousand yuan, and better ones can reach over a million.

  Eleven pieces of porcelain, all placed together, look very beautiful. The two appraisers still lowered their heads to examine the porcelain, occasionally whispering to each other and nodding in unison.

  It can be seen from their expressions that this batch of things is really good.

  Taking a light breath, Liu Yiyang's expression gradually became focused. Comparing his work experience over this period of time and some data he had read in books, he carefully appreciated these Qinghua porcelain pieces.

  Liu Yi Yang, with his full attention focused, completely abandoned all other distracting thoughts.

  In less than a minute, Liu Yi Yang's fingers slightly trembled, and under his intense gaze, the bottle he was staring at emitted red mist just like the previous object he had been maintaining. The mist all drilled into his brain.

  That comfortable feeling also reappeared on his body.

  Liu Yi Yang quietly turned his head, looking worriedly at Lin Liang beside him. At this moment, Lin Liang was talking to Old Huang about something and hadn't noticed him at all.

  The two experts opposite him didn't even lift their heads.

  These made Liu Yi Yang's heart slightly more at ease. He had been so focused on the situation just now that he had forgotten that these things could also produce red mist.

  It's a good thing, this also proves that his previous guess was correct, only he can see these mist.

  Otherwise, these people would have turned back long ago. With such a large patch of fog, it's impossible to not see him even if you're not paying attention to him.

  This discovery made Liu Yi Yang feel secretly delighted. As long as others couldn't see it, he could openly absorb these 'spiritual energies'. When these things were absorbed into his body, the comfortable feeling was very nostalgic for him. Moreover, he also found that the more 'spiritual energy' he absorbed, the better his spirit became.

  The red mist is already considered by Liu Yi Yang to be what people call spiritual energy.

  After finishing looking at one blue and white porcelain vase, Liu Yi Yang quickly looked towards another one.

  This time it was a pair of small bowls, Liu Yi Yang tried to focus his attention directly on the pair of bowls.

  Soon, a pair of bowls simultaneously emitted a red mist, and after absorbing the mist, Liu Yi Yang's mouth also curled up into a smile, foolishly smiling there.

  This experiment shows that he can absorb multiple items at the same time, and the more items there are, the more spiritual energy is produced, making it even more comfortable to absorb.

  This comfort is indescribable, just like a person who has been hungry for a long time suddenly gets a delicious meal, or like encountering an oasis in the desert, it's simply extremely comfortable.

  After the red mist in the small bowl had all come out, Liu Yi Yang shifted his attention to the two bottles beside him.

  These two bottles, one of them is the bottle that the two experts just put down and couldn't stop praising.

  Liu Yi Yang's attention was focused, his spirit concentrated entirely on these two bottles.

  Soon, one of the bottles started emitting a red mist that quickly drilled into his brain, while the other had no reaction at all.

  It wasn't until all the mist around the bottle had dispersed that Liu Yiyang noticed the bottle beside him.

  This is a dragon-shaped vase, this type of vase Liu Yi Yang rarely sees, at least he has been working for so long and has never maintained this type of vase.

  His mind focused again for a full minute, but the bottle still didn't change at all, forcing him to temporarily give up on it.
