Chapter 227 Blue and White Porcelain
Taking advantage of his spare time, Liu Junhao went around the shop selling koi, including Danyang Top, gold and silver scales, pine, bamboo and plum, etc., and the prices also vary greatly.
He originally wanted to estimate the price of the koi in his stone lock after seeing it, but the more he looked at it, the more depressed he became. The koi in the spring water were all big-name goods and could not be sold at all.
Think about how expensive the koi caught in the school pond is.
However, unlike the koi in the store, the color in the spring water is obviously much better.
The two of them wandered around and finally arrived at the stall selling antiques. The collection in the prosperous era is now a peaceful era, and the collection is very popular, which is considered a mobilization of the whole nation. In the middle of the flower and bird market, all the antiques are arranged in a row.
Zhang Qian has watched several episodes of "Treasure Appraisal" online during this period and really wants to go around the stall to find a bargain.
Liu Junhao hurriedly advised her to dispel this idea. As the saying goes, antiques are all nine fakes and one reals. It is harder to find a real treasure like them who know nothing about it than finding a needle in a haystack.
But even if you don’t buy it, it’s still very good to have a long experience after a walk.
"How much does this cost?" Zhang Qian squatted in front of the street stall for more than ten minutes. She wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly saw the row of copper coins on the red cloth.
"This is the authentic Qianlong Tongbao, look at it. According to the tradition, Huang Liang is sold for ten yuan per piece. How about giving you a discount of seventy yuan for more than ten yuan? This thing is a string of ten pieces, which is hanged into Chinese knots and hanged in the house to attract wealth. Build under the foundation and prosperous house. Even if you take one piece and tie it with a red rope and wear it in your neck, you can exorcise evil spirits..."
Is a Qianlong Tongbao so capable? Both of them felt a little worried when they heard it. They are worthy of being a businessman, and they say it smoothly.
"Is it so cheap?" As soon as Zhang Qian said, the store was stunned and didn't know what she meant. She had been setting up a stall for more than ten years, and the buyers she met always thought the things were expensive, so how could she think that they were cheap.
"That... I'm still expensive. They are all real goods, with quality and quantity guaranteed. Five. The emperor's money is China's money, a set of 200 yuan, a set of 10 emperors of the Qing Dynasty, a set of 888. You can see that you are a cultural person, and it's the best to collect such an ancient currency at home." The store's mind was quite quick, thinking that he had met a fat sheep who didn't know how to do it.
It’s not very eye-catching to see the two of them’s clothes, but the monkey pet in their arms is not simple, one is at least a few thousand. Could it be that this is the legendary “there is a lot of money and the person is stupid”? The boss was happy that today’s business must be completed.
But Liu Junhao knew what his wife meant. He must have thought of the string of copper coins preserved in his house, and asked with the intention of making a small fortune.
There are at least a hundred copper coins in my family, all of which are Qianlong Tongbao. There is no chance. I have checked it online and it is not worth it at all.
"No, let's take a look." Zhang Qian hurriedly stood up. Looking at the store's enthusiasm, she immediately realized that she was regarded as a fat sheep.
"Do I look like a fat sheep?" She asked depressedly after walking away.
"Somewhat is there a buyer like you." Liu Junhao still felt it was fun to think about it now. The store's expression was particularly wonderful at that time.
"Go" Zhang Qian twisted it lightly on his hand.
"Please stay, please stay..." As they were playing, a tall and thin man suddenly stopped them.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Liu Junhao asked with a serious face. Judging from the person's appearance, it seemed that he was a little bad. But after thinking about it, they came in and walked around, it seemed that they didn't mess with anyone.
"I have been following you guys for a long time. It seems that you haven't bought anything you like. I have an antique here, why don't you?" the thin man came over and said mysteriously.
"Really?" Before Liu Junhao could speak, Zhang Qian had already resumed the conversation.
"Well, you guys come with me. Let's find a place to trade. There are so many people here..." He patted the waste cardboard box in his arms.
"Just here," Liu Junhao hurriedly interrupted his words.
Transfer to another place to trade? Who knows who this thin man is? His wife is thinking of picking up bargains, but he doesn't have it. If there are really antiques, then just trade openly, unless the thing is from the wrong origin or wants to kill them. Judging from what this person means, he has been following them for a long time, and obviously he has decided on it before he started.
Thinking of this, Liu Junhao had already made up his mind that he would not let his wife buy the imperial seal later.
"This is not possible, there are too many people... I have some problems with where this thing comes from," the thin man's eyes began to flash.
"We don't want things that are not right from the right place." After he said that, he wanted to pull his wife away.
"Wait... let's get there, there is no problem. I'm from where I came from. I took it out from my old man, so I'm afraid that acquaintances will see it." The thin man was anxious and pointed to a clearing area on the corner of the street.
The more explanations are, the more unreliable it is.
The three of them came to the corner of the wall. The thin man carefully opened the paper box, opened the old newspaper inside, and bowed to them and said, "Porcelain is not a hand, this is the rule, please."
Seeing this guy look pretty and really good, Liu Junhao also became a little curious and wanted to see what was placed in the cardboard box.
"I've made it for a long time and it's a bowl. I can't see any difference from the usual ones. It's not as delicate as I bought on the street." Zhang Qian took out the big light green bowl from the cardboard box and looked at it for a few times, very disappointed.
"This... this is an ancient craft, so it is naturally different." The thin man could hear Zhang Qian know nothing in one sentence, and turned his head to Liu Junhao and said, "Brother is aware of the goods at first sight. Do you want to take a look?"
"I don't understand either." Liu Junhao took it from Zhang Qian and took a look. The bowl was not small, with a diameter of nearly twenty centimeters and a height of ten centimeters. The inside and outside of the bowl were decorated with blue and white patterns, and there were a few words like ghost-like talismans at the bottom of the bowl. It probably should be Manchu, but he didn't know it at all.
"This... I heard my dad call it the blue and white porcelain bowl. You have heard of Jay Chou's song "Blue and White Porcelain". "The thin man looked at the two of them and then explained, "Look at this color, it is the sky blue color in the lyrics. Tell you not to see that this bowl seems ordinary, its origin is not simple..."
"Why is it not a simple method?" Liu Junhaoquan thought it was free to listen to the story. Anyway, the two of them had nothing to do when they came to the flower and bird market.
"You see, my buddy is not wearing very well, but I tell me that my family is pretty good. But my buddy is not good. When I'm fine, I like to play a few times. When I lose more times, my family will take a tighter cash. This is not the big bets the previous two days ago. I lost several thousand yuan at once, and I followed my butt to ask for the account. I really can't steal the blue and white porcelain bowls collected by the old man..." The thin man? After talking for a long time, he started to talk about the origin of the porcelain bowls.
When his grandfather was young, he worked as a guard under a battalion commander of the Beiyang Army. He was fighting everywhere at that time, and the troops who led the troops could not raise food and money at all. The battalion commander finally got his mind and directed his close subordinates to do the digging of other people's ancestral graves.
Speaking of this, the thin man added another sentence, "Sun Dianying, you should know that the one who dug the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi was also doing this at that time..."
Several soldiers dug up a large grave for the first time. After using ** to blow up the grave, they were filled with silver and porcelain. At that time, several people thought they were going to be developed, but they didn't know that the battalion commander wanted to take it alone.
The soldiers under his command simply did not stop and threw the battalion commander into the wilderness while no one had made them, and then divided the gold, silver and porcelain back to their hometowns.
After returning home, his grandfather used the money to buy several acres of land and lived a landlord's life. The good life was well-off and it was liberated a few years later. Their family was a landlord. Grandpa was criticized and all the things in the house were confiscated. The blue and white porcelain bowl was preserved after many hardships.
"Hey, if my buddy hadn't been in a tight position recently, I wouldn't have sold the things left by my ancestors. The ancestors didn't leave a few items, and they sold one less. There was no way, who would have given him a prodigal offspring like me?" At the end of the talk, the thin man sighed a few times, and his face looked particularly lonely.
Liu Junhao admired this guy a little. Although the story was made up, his expression gave people a feeling of telling the truth.
"Little Fifth, are you here too?" At this time, a passerby suddenly shouted and walked towards them.
"Take this thing right, let alone mine, just say it's yours." The thin man was very nervous.
"Little Five, why don't you agree?" As he spoke, the man had already walked to them and patted the thin man's shoulder hard.
The person who came was in his forties wearing glasses and a suit, and looked elegant. He should be a successful person.
"Uncle Chen, you are here. I'm not chatting with my friend, but I didn't notice that you... are you interested in anything?" Xiao Wuzi talked to the visitor, but his eyes kept winking at Liu Junhao. It was like that, he wanted him to put away the blue and white porcelain bowls.
"I'm idle, I just want to come and take a look at two good things." The man in glasses said and smiled at the two of them, saying hello. However, when his eyes flew over the big bowl in Liu Junhao's hand, he was obviously stunned, "Hey, this bowl...young man, can I look at the bowl in your hand?"
"Of course," Liu Junhao ignored the thin man's wink and handed it over directly.
"It's just a man, it's better to put it on the ground." The man in glasses not only did not reach out to take it, but took a step back.
It is so particular about making a broken bowl, Liu Junhao had to put the big bowl in a cardboard box again after hearing this.
"Well, from the perspective of shape, classical and elegant, simple and generous, it should be the blue and white porcelain bowl of Later Gold. Unfortunately, if there is no crack on the wall of the bowl, it is worth at least 100,000 yuan, and now it will be sold in our city for just over 20,000 yuan. It's hard to say if you get it in Beijing, I'm afraid it will be 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. Young man, is this your bowl, right?"
"Yes, yes, Uncle Chen, it's his." Before Liu Junhao could respond, the thin man had already shouted.
"Oh... Did you just buy it or are you going to sell it? If it is sold, how about transfer it to me? It's unambiguous, 20,000 yuan!"
"Uncle Chen, how could you be so cheap? You cut off 10,000 yuan with just one mouth." The thin man jumped again.
"Who are you kid helping? If you want to get 30,000 yuan, you have to sell it in Beijing. Calculate the round-trip fee, and the accommodation is not 10,000 yuan." The man in glasses smiled and glared at him, turned his head and asked, "Is it sold?"
"Hehe, this is my friend, of course I'm helping my friend." The thin man continued to wink and secretly stretched out three fingers.
"To be honest, this thing is not mine, and I don't know this big brother. You two can just trade." Liu Junhao bowed and pulled Zhang Qian to stand beside him.
"Little Five, this is yours... Is it stolen from home again?" The man in glasses began to glar at the moment he heard this.
"Uncle Chen, how dare I do that? It was our old man who asked him to sell it."
"You are lying to the gods, I don't know your kid's trick yet. OK, no matter where I got this thing, how much is it for sale?"
"No, my friend has already taken a fancy to you." The thin man shook his head quickly, then secretly stretched out two fingers, and then slapped him again. That meant it seemed to be selling it to Liu Junhao for 25,000 yuan.
"This...boy, how much do you want to pay for it?"
"We don't understand, we are not ready to buy it, so you can continue talking," Liu Junhao said and pulled Zhang Qian away, regardless of the man in glasses shouting behind him.
"It took a long time to talk about the two of them," Seeing them walking far away, the thin man stomped on the ground hard. He was very depressed, and he didn't expect to meet two people who didn't know anything today. This kind of person is the most difficult to fool, because he doesn't understand, so he won't buy it easily. To be honest, that is, people who have only a slight understanding of antiques. This kind of person has a serious mentality of picking up bargains. After reading a few books about collection, he thought he was an expert and wanted to get lucky.
"You kid will take it right next time and then take action. He doesn't speak from beginning to end. What's your energy?" The man with glasses has no elegance at this moment.
"Didn't I see them having sex..."
"What's wrong? I'm still thinking about what happened just now." Liu Junhao pulled his wife out of the flower and bird market. Seeing that she was in a low mood, he asked with a smile.
"Do we really look like fat sheep?" To be honest, Zhang Qian is very injured now.
"Did you see it too?" Liu Junhao thought his wife was moved by the man in glasses, so he hurriedly pulled her away.
"Am I that stupid? I can't tell if such a double act is so obvious? I can earn 10,000 yuan when I go to Beijing. Who can I miss it? If that's true, that thin man will be in Beijing in the morning."
"So you didn't fall into the eyes of money. I said why are you so sober?" Liu Junhao laughed and joked.
"Another word?" Zhang Qian smiled and punched him.
This game seems simple, but it may work if you meet someone who wants to find a bargain. Just like the can that has caused a lot of controversy in the past few years, many smart people are deceived by the time they are confused about money. They earn 10,000 yuan in one go, where can I find such a good thing?
After walking around the flower and bird market, they bought nothing, and they walked out empty-handed.
