Lu Yi, graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, works in a village workshop in the city to refill bowls. With a monthly salary of 3,500 yuan, he was called "Lu Yiqiong".
The blind date hung up the phone as soon as he heard this. Everyone at the class meeting laughed at him as a tinker.
Lu Yi said nothing.
But no one knew - he spent 300 yuan to pick up a broken copper stove from a street stall. It was made by the Yongzong and Qianlong officials. Someone offered it 300,000 yuan. The director of the provincial auction house would call him "junior brother" when he saw him. The boss with a net worth of over 100 million asked him to be his eye-catcher, and his attitude was extremely polite.
Because Lu Yi has a skill that no one can learn from him: once the artifact is in his hands, he can tell the authenticity, date and provenance in three minutes. It's not about relying on instruments, it's about looking at the details, relying on the feel, and having a thorough understanding of the old stuff.
Picking up leaks at street stalls, auctioning palms, helping big bosses identify family heirlooms - he wants to keep a low profile, but his strength doesn't allow it.
From being laughed at to being chased and called "Teacher Lu". It's just a matter of a few years.
