Tang Feng paid the bill, and the two left Tongli Rouyan Old Shop. On the street, Liu Yue jumped in front of her. She looked back proudly and said to Tang Feng: "This kind of carefree life is a kind of enjoyment." Tang Feng looked at her excited look that she released her mood and couldn't help but shake her head. The environment may not be shaping the character but killing the character. Otherwise, why would so many people have completely different dual personalities?

Life is like a movie. A very small number of lucky people perform in their true colors, some people adapt to the role, while more people are just passers-by who play supporting roles.

We have been changed to extremely false by the environment.

Liu Yue pointed to an antique shop called "Study" not far ahead and said to Tang Feng: "Let's go there and have a look."

There are four treasures in the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone. This antique shop called "Study" operates these four treasures. With the popularity of computers, writing methods have gradually begun to shift to keyboards. There are fewer people using fountain pens and ballpoint pens, and fewer people know calligraphy. Therefore, it is not surprising that this antique shop that operates the Four Treasures of Study is deserted.

When Tang Feng and Liu Yue walked into the store together, the first thing that caught their eye was rows of brushes. Antique shops were naturally different from stationery shops. The prices of these brushes were not low. They targeted the high-end market. Although there were very few people who knew calligraphy, most of the few people were outstanding social elites, and few leaders at the first level or above did not understand calligraphy. There were not many people like Lin Muyu who practiced calligraphy purely for their hobbies, and those primary school students who learned calligraphy were basically forced to practice by their parents.

Among the four treasures of the study, the other three treasures except inkstones are difficult to equate with antiques. Tang Feng was not interested in these things, he just wanted to buy a better set of pen, ink, paper and inkstones for Lin Muyu. The most famous four treasures of the study are pens from Huzhou, Zhejiang, ink from Huizhou, Anhui, paper from Xuanzhou, Anhui, and inkstones from Duanzhou, Guangdong. This antique shop operates these four "famous brand products".

The four treasures of study are the main ones. The brushes produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang are referred to as Hub Pen. The birthplace and main origin of Hub Pen are in Shanlian Town, Huzhou City, which is known as the "Bihu City". Hub Pen is all made by hand and the production process is very complicated. A Hub Pen generally needs to go through twelve major processes and more than 120 minor processes from the import of raw materials to the factory. This only refers to Hub Pen made of bamboo tubes. If other high-quality materials are used as pen tubes, there will be more processes.

Tang Feng saw a set of Zihaohu pens that use golden nanmu as pen tubes. A set of brushes consists of three brushes of different specifications. This set of brushes costs 3,000 yuan. This price sounds chaotic, but it is reasonable, because it is made of golden nanmu. Golden nanmu is a very precious and high-quality material. It has few straight branches, smooth texture but not easy to deform, and does not rot or carve for thousands of years. Its value is higher than other high-quality hardwoods. Golden nanmu, like red sandalwood, disappeared as early as the early Qing Dynasty, that is, the golden nanmu used in this set of brushes must be ancient wood. Similarly, purple hair is also the most rare and expensive raw material for making pens. Good pen tubes and brush hairs are more expensive.

Tang Feng was born as a farmer after all, and he would not be willing to buy it if he was a normal person. This is not a matter of money, but since it was given to Lin Muyu, he bought it openly without saying a word.

When you walk into a store, you can see the difference between the boss and the guy from your expression. The boss of this antique shop is obviously not there. At the beginning, the young guy just took a look at Liu Yue and ignored Tang Feng. But when Tang Feng took action to buy the most expensive brush in their store, he immediately became enthusiastic. While packaging Tang Feng, the guy said, "This gentleman has such eyesight. There are only ten sets of this kind of golden nanmu and purple hair. This is the last set."

Tang Feng politely made a few nutritious words with him and began to choose rice paper. Chinese rice paper is a famous paper that runs through ancient and modern times. It has both writing and bone spirits and is full of painting. It is the most embodied in Chinese art style. It is resistant to aging, does not change color, has few insects, and has a long lifespan. It has the reputation of "the king of paper, thousand-year-old life paper". Most of the rare ancient books and calligraphy and painting ink that have been passed down to this day in China are based on rice paper. Rice paper is not only of good quality but also cheap. Even old paper is only a few dozen yuan. Tang Feng then bought another knife of aged rice paper. The paper that has been stored for more than five years can be called old paper. The knife is a measurer, and one knife is one hundred pieces. Tang Feng then prepared to select ink. The guy who had completely turned his attention to Tang Feng said to Tang Feng softly: "Sir, there are other customers in our store that have left to consign. Do you want to take a look?"

Tang Feng suddenly understood in his heart. No wonder this guy suddenly became so polite. He always asked where he was from. It turned out that there was such an incident. Tang Feng would not believe what this guy called consignment. This is the black product that cannot be used on the table. Just like the person who went to sell discs in the streets and alleys, he looked at the obscene customer and said, "Brother, should you be more powerful? There is another possibility that these things might be because this guy was hiding the boss to make extra money. No matter what, this kind of thing was to be sold to passers-by like Tang Feng to be relieved.

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Take it out and take a look."

The guy continued, "The stuff must be good, but the price is right." He only said half of this.

Tang Feng said: "The things are good, so there is no problem if the price is too outrageous."

"Okay, wait." After the guy finished speaking, he immediately opened the innermost container in the store.

Liu Yue was next to Tang Feng. When she heard their conversation, she whispered to Tang Feng: "Aren't you afraid that what he took out is a black product?"

"It doesn't matter if the black goods are, they are most afraid of being fakes." Tang Feng smiled and continued: "How big a few pieces of ancient paper and ancient ink are not enough to resell cultural relics."
