I was dumbfounded by the boss's words. In a stunned moment, the boss poured out a lot of braves from the big bag behind the stall, and each bravery held a Qixiang treasure in its mouth!
"Pixiu is real, kid, you can choose whatever you like."
I go……
It is true that the Tao is as high as one foot and the devil is as high as one foot.
"Boy, today I'm going to see Uncle Seventh's golden face. I don't want to trick you. Just pick the brass one and take it away!"
I was eager to get the thing, and the moment I saw that the brass Pixiu was real, I subconsciously ignored the authenticity of the Qixiang treasure in its mouth.
If the owner of this stall really wants to trick me, he might really trick me into losing my pants.
Seventh Uncle, speaking of which, I have never met him, but I have already received his shelter and accepted his favor.
According to the rules of the world, according to what the boss said, I paid more than 30 yuan and took away a Pixiu from the stall.
I wandered around the stalls and didn't see anything good to pick up today, so I set my sights on the store behind the stalls.
After visiting three or five stores, there were a few things that caught my eye, but unfortunately the shop owner was very tight-lipped and couldn't cut the price.
With my last bit of luck, I walked into a store called "Hongjiang Antique Shop". The store seemed a bit busy. There was a large group of people surrounding an old man in Chinese tunic suit, huddled together and looking at a bottle.
At first glance, this bottle seems to be a sky blue glaze paper hammer bottle from Ru kiln of Song Dynasty.
As for the authenticity and quality of things, you need to get started before you can analyze them in detail.
"Hello fellow, would you like to see the goods? Please come with me."
I wanted to get closer to the crowd and take a good look at this Ru kiln azure-glazed paper hammer vase, but the sister in charge of the shop noticed me and took me to the other side with a smile on her face.
I nodded towards her, looked back at the Ru kiln azure glaze paper mallet vase, and said nothing more.
In the past, there was an old rule in the store. Generally, when there were customers in the store to view the goods, latecomers were not allowed to enter. In order not to affect the business, the store would hang a sign at the door of the store. In the industry, it was called "Shangpai".
As long as this sign is put up, anyone who knows the business will know something at a glance. Later, those who look at the goods will stop. When the customers leave the store, the store clerk will take off the sign and call it "down the sign". After a while, people can go in and discuss business.
Nowadays, in general above-ground markets, these particularities are gone. Especially in some sinking markets, it is common for a large number of people to chat around an object.
However, those in the middle and upper classes do not completely follow the practices of the elders, but the eaves are dripping from the old nests. Although the inheritance has changed, it has not been completely abandoned.
Although there are people who gather together to look at the goods, they are basically acquaintances, or people who have agreed to invite the buyer and seller to look at the goods together.
When looking at the goods from outside, it was still abrupt and hasty, so as soon as I came in, the sister in charge took me to the other side to discuss the business.
Originally, I was going to look at the paper mallet bottle again, and then wait until the people over there had finished reading, and then go up and have a look.
But the sister in charge seemed to see what I was thinking and came to my side.
"It's going to be a while over there, the stuff in our hall is pretty good."
She said, pulling me to the side.
I was already prepared for nothing to be gained today.
After all, this kind of picking up leaks is like buying a lottery ticket, you don’t win every day.
But... it did let me see the treasure.
Among the goods on the side, I saw a pair of small sculptures.
It's just that this thing is covered in dirt and looks very old.
Precisely because of the poor appearance, almost all the customers who came here deliberately avoided it.
I walked straight towards the pair of sculptures, "Sister, can I take a look?"
Because it was full of dirt and dust, it was hard to tell with just my eyes, so I asked.
"It's okay, the ones here are all cheap and easy to get."
My sister smiled and spoke. I don't know why, but I saw a hint of ridicule in her eyes.
After nodding in greeting, I touched it with my hand.
The next second, I confirmed that I had found a treasure!
This thing is a very rare three-color golden rooster from the Tang Dynasty!
According to legend, the three-color golden rooster was made by a young man in ancient times based on his personal interests.
Unlike other chicken-shaped sculptures, this three-color golden rooster belongs to the legendary level.
Almost no one can identify or confirm it.
But, it's only "almost".
My master once told me this.
I didn't expect it to be here!
Moreover, three-color golden roosters are more valuable in pairs.
It's just that... because it is a folk product and there is no special appraisal, the "base price" is not very high.
The most expensive is only 700,000.
This is the best preserved three-color golden rooster, in pairs.
This pair... I'm not sure if it's in good condition.
It's hard to tell when looking through the dust.
"This is a pretty good pair of chickens."
I said and looked at the headmaster's sister.
"These are second-rate goods, all at a fixed price."
She said and pointed to the sign next to her - one hundred pieces.
Go ahead, this... is a waste of natural resources!
"That's right."
I said and gave the money.
The sister in charge of the store wrapped up the pair of "buried" three-color golden roosters.
With this in mind, I should be able to exchange a lot of money with Li Mingming.
At least in the short term, there should be no shortage of money.
Even with the three-color golden rooster, I am still interested in the paper mallet bottle.
In addition, there were already a lot of people watching the fun, so I slowly walked towards the paper mallet bottle.
Among the crowd, an old man in Mao suit was discussing with several other people who looked like experts.
I squeezed in while watching, and finally reached the front row.
Fortunately, the person looking at the goods in front is taking a look.
While looking around, I was amazed.
"If there is no problem with the time verification, it should be an authentic product."
One of the experts said and praised.
The old man in Chinese tunic suit also had a smile on his face.
Compared to others who were excited about finding treasures, I was a little disappointed.
It turned out to be a fake.
The official seal under the paper mallet vase is written in the Chunhua period.
But the style of the entire bottle and the glaze used give me a feeling of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Even if someone rounded the bottle shoulders at right angles, it doesn't look right.
"Brothers, this treasure today is the best one I have seen from Hongjiang Antique Shop!"
The old man in Chinese tunic suit smiled and said, "I'm happy today, everyone, take a look!"
With that said, they turned the bottles upside down and placed them on a large tray for the onlookers to admire.
I was lucky enough to be in the front row and could see clearly.
Indeed, there is something wrong with the enamel, and it doesn’t look like it was produced by a Northern Song Dynasty kiln.
Moreover, it seems that he placed the bottle sideways because he deliberately wanted to show off the official seal underneath.
At close range, I finally saw the clues.
"Old sir, the paper bottle is the wrong version."
I spoke slowly, "Look carefully at the official seal. There is a small problem."
While everyone was praising me, I suddenly said this.
In fact, it can be regarded as a reminder. After all, what you gain in the antique shop depends on your own ability.
"Little brother, which sect are you from? Why did you suddenly say this?"
