Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 87 The surprise is late but arrived
Shen You specially brought a set of good tea sets and incense burner today.

There is also Master Jiang’s kesi fan as a decoration to liven up the scene.

If you just take out a single pot, it will be something that everyone in the collecting circle will scramble to collect.

This is the same craftsmanship as the Ding Kiln in the Song Dynasty. Its characteristic is the word "elegant" and its color is as warm as jade.

Looking at the ordinary pottery jars and Shan Guilai on the table, it also took a lot of thought to create them.

Quan Xiaosu and Cheng Liang couldn't help but hold their breath when they saw the intricate and gorgeous phoenix crown in the box.

"This is actually a private collection?! This is the first time I've seen it without looking through glass." Quan Xiaosu exclaimed.

"I can't imagine how beautiful it would look when worn on the head. No wonder everyone wants to be a royal lady."

Indeed, even after so many years, one can still glimpse the once extremely brilliant splendor between the interlaced golden threads.

Shen You was also shocked when he first saw it.

It took her a lot of energy to repair the phoenix crown. Sometimes, she couldn't even lift her neck for the whole day, and when she went out to buy food, there were golden double images in her eyes.

When the work was done, I checked it carefully several times, which took another two hours.

"How did you manage to repair it so well?"

After Quan Xiaosu finished speaking, she and Cheng Liang looked at Shen You expectantly.

"I'll teach you when the time comes."

Shen You picked up a bag of potato chips and started eating.

The two people came to the studio to help for a few days and did a good job. She has decided to keep them and has checked their salary and benefits with Gu Shaoyu.

After a few people chatted in the studio for a while, Mr. Zhang and Wu Zhiyuan arrived. All the way from the gate to the reception room, Mr. Zhang praised the layout of Xiyuan.

"Boss Shen is amazing. It hasn't been long since the studio started, but it's already flourishing."

Wu Zhiyuan looked at the fan on display on the shelf and recognized it at a glance, "Is it made by Master Jiang?"

Shen You smiled and nodded, "Many things are not yet fully prepared. If there are any shortcomings in the hospitality, please forgive me."

"Boss Shen, you're joking. How can you say it's not thoughtful when you bring out such good tea sets? Even the food boxes for the snacks are good things!" Mr. Zhang laughed.

In the past, I only thought that Boss Shen was young and was Professor Li’s apprentice. But after knowing her for a long time, I realized that she was not simple at all.

What she has on display is just the beginning. The fire-resistant cloth she brought last time even shocked the collectors in the capital. Now, many people in the circle want to get to know her.

While everyone was chatting, Shen You also moved things to the table.

Mr. Zhang and Wu Zhiyuan looked at it one after another and confirmed that there was no problem. Mr. Zhang paid the remaining balance on the spot.

"Thank you, Boss Shen, for repairing this thing so well. You can't even tell it's been repaired!"

Mr. Zhang looked at the restored phoenix crown in his hand with a look of joy on his face.

There are not many people in the circle who are as skilled as Shen You at this age.

No wonder Professor Li, among so many disciples with good family backgrounds and fame, chose to recommend Shen You.

In fact, there were more than one person who wanted to take this order at that time, and he is now glad that the task was handed over to Shen You.

"If my friends need anything repaired in the future, I'll have to trouble Boss Shen."

This is exactly what Shen You was waiting for!
"I don't deserve the trouble. Since I've accepted the order, it's my duty to do the job well," she replied.

Afterwards, Mr. Zhang and his friends admired the antique jewelry collected by Shen You in the studio.

She just brought it here today, and she will have to take it back after she's done with it. She'll just have to keep one or two authentic pieces here.

"Boss Shen, your coral and pearl hairpin looks better than the ones in the museum."

Wu Zhiyuan stood in front of the display case and suddenly couldn't move. His vision was impeccable, he saw the low-key hairpin beyond the pure gold headpiece.

"I've handled so many things, but I've never seen so many natural nearly round pearls on a piece of jewelry. It must be something from the palace. No one except the royal family has the ability to do this."

The best part is that red coral is not easy to preserve and will fade after a hundred years, but this one is in great condition! Its value is naturally higher.

He sighed and said that every time he came to Boss Shen's place, the surprise would arrive late.

I even suspect that Boss Shen has set up a private collection.

Even if there isn’t one now, there will probably be one in the future, and Creek Garden is the right venue.

Mr. Zhang and his companion saw that the studio did have a lot of things to do, so they did not stay for dinner. They said they would come over to support Shen You after some time had passed and it was officially open for business.

Shen You personally saw them to the door.

Then I went back and carefully put away the things I brought today, put them in the safe, and took them back home in the afternoon.

The table and chairs in front have been repainted, but the bunk bed on top has to be dismantled and moved down bit by bit.

The four of them worked together until the evening, and only finished reinstalling it in the lounge after it got dark.

This bed is also made of good wood. After tidying it up, it will be both ornamental and practical.

The main focus of Shen You Renovation Studio is to not waste a single cent.

After finishing work, the meal we ordered from a nearby private restaurant was delivered, and we all sat together with the doorman to have dinner.

"I used to eat alone here, it was quiet and deserted, but now it's much more lively."

The doorman took out the papaya strips he made for everyone to try, "It's cheap, I don't know if you guys can get used to it."

"It tastes better than what I buy in the supermarket!" Shen You nodded with a smile.

Gu Shaoyu, who had never eaten this before, also gave a thumbs up.

Hearing everyone praising his cooking skills, the old man was also happy, "I'll make some for you next time."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Song. I'll be working in the studio from now on, and this will be just right for eating with noodles."

Shen You didn't say she would give money because she knew Uncle Song wouldn't accept it even if she told him. It would be the same if she brought more fruits next time.

After dinner, I checked the doors, windows, and safes, and went home at the end of the day's work.

The work at hand is almost done. Shen You really doesn't want to repair antiques for the next two days and plans to take a break.

When I have free time, I lie down and play with the beads, or maintain the strings of the guqin in my collection.

Although these items placed outside are not so fragile, they also need regular maintenance.

Shen You plucked the strings twice. The sound in her hands seemed to be different from that in Wen Zhi's hands.

I don’t know how he is doing. It seems like he hasn’t come over in the past few days and there is no message on his phone.

He also said that once her studio chose a date, he, as its partner, would go over to take a look.

Just as he was thinking about it, a message suddenly rang on his cell phone. Gu Shaoyu said that someone was interested in the pink diamond and necklace, and the two together were worth 17 million.

It was one million more than his previous estimate. In fact, the buyer was only interested in the pink diamond and bought the necklace casually.

Shen You replied: "I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

A few days ago, Quan Xiaosu and Cheng Liang were busy, so Shen You sent them a message to let them take a day off.

In the morning, she handed the jewelry box to Gu Shaoyu. The buyer, who was paying 17 million yuan at once, didn't have time to come to the store, so Gu Shaoyu personally delivered it to her home.

Three hours later, the money was received in the studio's account.
