"Isn't it just for this day, I don't have to go to work, and I take a handsome guy with me, drive a convertible, blow the wind, and sing songs... Haha..."
The beauty's long hair was blown into my face by the wind, and I suddenly felt a little intoxicated.
To be honest, I seem to have fallen in love with this little girl Li Xin.
After this wave, we arrived at a park near the Cultural Palace. This park has lush trees, but there is something ghostly going on inside! The key is that the light is dim, countless antiques are placed on the ground, and the people who come to visit are hiding in the shade of the trees, really like ghosts.
"Damn it! Mr. Zhang, is this what you are talking about? It seems a bit scary!"
“How can it be called a ghost market if it doesn’t have a sense of mystery?”
I said, asking Li Xin to park the car at the intersection, and then led them swaggering inside.
There are no streetlights in this place either. Everyone who walks there has a flashlight in hand. Those who don’t have a flashlight use their mobile phones to shine, squatting or standing. On both sides of the road, various street stalls and antiques are arranged like a long queue. Linlang As far as the eye can see.
"Hey! Bosses, come to my place and take a look. I just received the Laokeng jadeite and a large sterling silver basin from the Qianlong period!"
Seeing us coming, a vendor wearing a peaked cap was shouting.
I stopped and took a photo on the ground with my phone. This vendor did have a lot of goods, and they looked very old. What was even weirder was that the vendor mysteriously said he wanted us to see something. I approached and this guy opened a sack. A stench hit my nose. There was a pile of white bones inside, and there was a skull inside.
As soon as Li Xin saw that thing, she retched twice, pulled me and wanted to leave.
"Boss, you just sell antiques. Why do you want to scare people to death by lying there with something like that?"
The hawker looked cunning, smiled mysteriously, and put away his pocket.
"I just want to tell the boss that this big blue and white basin is definitely from a first-hand source! If you go to other people's stores, they are all fakes. Even if they are genuine, they have been changed hands countless times. You can sell radishes here." The price of ginseng is as high as ginseng. I saw that the boss is a very knowledgeable person. Nowadays, it’s rare to see a discerning expert like the boss come to pick up the missing items!”
Li Xin covered her nose and pointed her cell phone at the large basin on the ground.
The big basin was shiny, and its surface was covered with a layer of dirt. The vendor took a linen cloth and wiped the surface. Even so, there is still a lot of dirt in the texture that has not been removed, and it does look very old.
"Boss, you have never seen such a complete sterling silver basin, right? Not to mention this is an antique, even if it is refined, it is worth a lot of money. Boss, please take a good look at it and give me a price. We are here The rule of thumb is not to open for three years and to stay open for three years. If you buy it, I can leave tonight. After all, we are a shameless thing!"
From beginning to end, the hawker maintains the sense of mystery that a grave robber comes out to clear out the goods.
"Boss, these are gloves! You are wearing them, these are dirty!"
The vendor's service was very attentive and he handed me a pair of medical gloves. In order to put on the gloves, he picked up the big basin and shook it. Judging from the size and weight of this thing, it is indeed similar to something made of pure silver, and the color value is also consistent.
Looking at the basin of Dabain, there are four words on it: "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty".
"Mr. Zhang, I think the dragon pattern on this big basin is quite exquisite!"
Li Xin was finally fascinated by the thing in front of her. It didn't look like much at first, but after the vendor wiped it off, the dragon patterns on the basin became more and more aura-like. Both the overall expression and the details of the dragon's beard and scales were lifelike.
The more I look at it, the more I like it. It is certainly very grand to have such an indoor decoration.
"How about it, boss, make a price!
"Okay, I happen to be short of a wash basin in my office. So, I'll give you twenty-five thousand, and I'll take the big basin away." "Twenty-five thousand?" Boss, I bought it from a local master for 100,000 yuan, 25,000 yuan... If you are sincere, give me 500,000 yuan and take it away. If you are afraid that it is not sterling silver, I can take you to have it appraised right away. The people I’m looking for don’t count. You can find someone knowledgeable to look at it yourself. If you don't feel bad, just drill a small hole and take a look? "
"Okay, although I'm not an expert, I still recognize a few goods. Twenty-five thousand. If you sell it, I'll pay you immediately. If it doesn't sell, let's take a look at it." After I said that, I was about to leave, and the other party grabbed me.
"Boss, if I tell you this, do you think this thing of mine is not an antique?"
"Of course it's not an antique. If it were truly an antique and made of sterling silver, it would cost at least one or two million."
"Then tell me, it's a fake. There must be a reason why it's fake, right?"
"The truth is, this thing shouldn't appear in the ghost market!"
The vendor swallowed his saliva and handed me the big basin.
"The boss is indeed an expert. Okay, I'll give you 25,000 yuan for this big basin. You can make 1,000 yuan by going out tonight, so it's worth it!"
The vendor reluctantly gave me the big basin and put it in a plastic bag.
"Hou Dan, you carry this basin, Xinxin, give him the money!"
Li Xin blinked and felt it was worth it.
This girl usually goes out to buy a bag or something, which may cost thousands. She can sell a large sterling silver basin for twenty-five thousand, which is certainly more cost-effective than buying a bag. After paying the money, I took Houdan and the others and continued walking forward.
Li Xin didn't quite understand and asked me: "What did you mean by that just now? Why shouldn't that thing appear in the ghost market?"
I smiled heartily.
"Because such a big object, if it were real, would be too eye-catching in a place like a ghost market. Isn't this the same as putting a large gold brick on the carpet and letting people pick it up? In a place like a ghost market, there are Good stuff, but definitely not that ostentatious!”
"So, is this thing made of pure silver?" Li Xin asked.
"Of course it's sterling silver, otherwise the vendor wouldn't dare to drill a hole in it. He's trying to divert our attention to sterling silver. How much does sterling silver cost per pound now? It's only a few thousand dollars, isn't it pure? Pure silver is really not the point.”
"So that's it, Mr. Zhang, why are you so smart?"
The three of them walked around and found nothing good. Until later, I found a green emerald leaf.
This leaf doesn't look big, just like a willow leaf, it's very beautiful.
The seller was a fashionably dressed woman. When she saw us looking at the goods, she smiled and looked at Li Xin.
"Sister, your husband is really a discerning person. Many people say this ornament is fake and made of beer bottles, which makes me mad. It is obviously Laokeng Jade. In my opinion, there are only beauties like Sister. Wearing it gives it that charm."
"Sister, I'm really good at talking, but I don't know if your jade leaves are real or fake!"
Li Xin helped me shine with a flashlight, and I took a look for a while.
