"I originally planned to give it to you!"
Tang Songyuan twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "But this kind of jar has poor air permeability and is not suitable for raising fish. I see that those who raise fish online all use large open jars..."
Walking to the car, Ni Sisi opened the door, put the can in the back seat, and asked, "Then why did you spend 66,000 to buy it?"
Tang Songyuan sat in, then spread his hands and held a jar with one hand, and said after a while: "It's up to you, or you can use it to pickle pickles!"
"Ha ha!"
Ni Sisi got in and started the car, glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Li Yangqiu is right, you are indeed a sultry type."
Then she turned to ask: "Now can you tell me about the situation of these two jars?"
Tang, Song and Yuan chuckled and said: "The full names of these two jars are called Huoyao flat mouth peacock green glaze jars. One depicts Wu Song fighting a tiger, and the other depicts Jiang Taigong fishing. The meaning is pretty good..."
"It should be from the Zhengtong period of the mid-Ming Dynasty. Although it was produced in a private kiln, this jar is a pair and is in complete condition."
"If I really want to send it to auction, it should be worth five to six hundred thousand."
Ni Sisi nodded as if she understood, and then asked: "I suddenly realized that you are not a simple guy. Not only can you play stone gambling, but you are also so proficient in antique porcelain..."
Well, Tang Songyuan realized what he had said and hurriedly explained:
"I can't say I'm proficient, I can only say I know a little bit."
"Sister, you know that I used to drive an excavator, right? One time when I was driving an excavator to demolish an old house, I dug out a pair of porcelain pieces that were similar in color and shape to this pair,"
"But it's not an orthodox one but a later Chenghua. The owner of the house asked a knowledgeable friend to appraise it and said it's worth hundreds of thousands."
"Later I looked for information and learned a lot of knowledge in this area..."
It was true that the digger demolished the house, but the discovery of porcelain in Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties was a lie.
The truth is that during the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, a house was demolished. As a result, the homeowner discovered that the removed columns and beams were all made of golden nanmu.
Moreover, they were all over 100 years old, and were finally bought by a timber merchant for more than 200,000 yuan.
Ni Sisi hesitated for a moment and said, "How about we go back and see if there are any more treasures like this?"
Tang Songyuan laughed and said: "There are so many treasures for you to pick up. Ninety percent of the things on these stalls are fake and shoddy products."
"Or simply call it a handicraft. The remaining ten percent, even if it is a real thing, has limited value."
“Really valuable and authentic antiques are definitely rare to come by.”
Returning to the Ni family's villa, Ni Sisi got out of the car and shouted towards the house: "Grandpa, we are back again!"
Tang Songyuan shook his head helplessly and carefully got out of the car holding the two jars.
Ni Sisi ran over happily and helped him share one.
However, Ni Dehong was not at home, so the two had no choice but to put the jar in Ni Dehong's tea room, get in the car again, and rush to Hex Jade Industry.
When he first arrived at the factory gate, Tang Songyuan saw a brown Buick Envision parked at the factory gate.
Li Yangqiu was squatting on the ground at the door, studying a piece of material with a middle-aged man in his fifties.
Seeing Tang Songyuan get out of the car, Li Yangqiu stood up and greeted him.
He said: "Mr. Tang, this fellow from Shuzhou was passing by here and insisted on asking me to help him look at the rough stones. I said I couldn't understand this thing, so he said he would wait for you to come back."
The man stood up and handed Tang Songyuan a cigarette.
Tang Songyuan declined with a smile and said, "Where are you from Shuzhou?"
The man is of medium height, wears glasses, has sparse and messy hair, and looks a little decadent.
He introduced himself: "I'm from Jianshi, my hometown. My surname is Zhang, Zhang Tao."
Tang Songyuan nodded, squatted down and said, "Fellow, generally we don't help people look at materials."
"But for the sake of my fellow countrymen, I will make an exception for you today."
Zhang Tao forced out a smile, with a hopeful look in his eyes.
Tang Songyuan briefly looked at the rough stone he brought. The material was yellow sand-skin, slightly tinged with white.
"How much did this piece of material cost?" he asked.
Zhang Tao: “I bought this piece of material five years ago and spent almost 200,000 yuan at that time.”
Tang Songyuan shook his head and said: "The performance of this material is very poor, or to put it more bluntly, you must have been deceived..."
"Don't say 200,000, even two thousand is not worth it!"
A trace of embarrassment and loneliness flashed across Zhang Tao's face, and he was a little at a loss, obviously not very satisfied with the result.
Then without saying a word, he opened the trunk of the Buick, took out a piece of material, and handed it to Tang Song Yuan and said:
"Brother, help me take a look at this piece..."
This is a piece of white sand leather material with some small spiral windows on both sides. It is in a state of being ground open little by little with a grinding tool.
Tang Songyuan took it and looked at it, then opened the window with a flashlight and pretended to look at it, and said:
"This area is barely acceptable. You can see the basic planting water from the windows on both sides. How much did it cost?"
Zhang Tao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is five hundred and fifty thousand."
Tang Songyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "How should I put it? The price of 550,000 is a bit high. Mr. Zhang must be in urgent need of money."
Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, then said: "How do you know?"
How do I know? You almost wrote it directly on your face.
Tang Songyuan shook his head slightly again and said: "This material does have water for planting, but this method of opening windows is also commonly known as a rogue window in our industry. My suggestion is that you'd better find a place. Sold..."
"Is there no possibility of an increase?" Zhang Tao asked, still unwilling to give up.
Tang Songyuan returned the ingredients to him and said, "Don't hold out such hope. Your mentality is not suitable for playing with rocks at all, it is only suitable for being a leek."
Talking too much will lead to mistakes. Tang Songyuan didn't want to say anything more to him, so he was ready to issue an order to expel him.
However, Zhang Tao didn't want to leave. He held the material and said, "Then...Mr. Tang, how about I sell you this material."
Tang Songyuan pursed his lips and said, "Brother, we are all fellow villagers. I will give you face by helping you look at the rough stones."
"It's a bit of a bully for you to ask me to buy it for you."
Zhang Tao looked at him with dry eyes and said eagerly: "No, I mean you just said that this piece of material is not bad, and let me tell you, the window here is not original, I opened it myself. ....."
Tang Songyuan lowered his eyelids and said, "Manager Li, see the guests off!"
