From picking up these broken porcelain pieces to repairing them, Su Xiaofan calculated that it only took an hour.
He looked at his phone and saw that it was not eleven o'clock yet. Su Xiaofan was not in a hurry to find Zhao Zhengshan, but blended into the crowd again. After staying in the antique market for several years, Su Xiaofan felt like he was at ease walking on such a street. Feel.
Compared with the antique market in Luochuan, the antique market in Yanjing was obviously more complete in terms of goods, and even the stalls had a lot of real objects. Su Xiaofan even saw several exquisite antiques.
It's just that all the stall owners are very good at it. Su Xiaofan asked about the prices of several items, and there was nothing wrong with them.
But this is much better than the Luochuan Antique Market. There are basically no real things or modern handicrafts on the stalls there.
"Huh?" Su Xiaofan strolled to a stall and stopped.
This is a stall that sells antiques and miscellaneous items. The most eye-catching items are several pieces of bronze. Among them is a set of bronze chimes that look simple in shape. There is also a bronze sword with no visible rust and visible bronze texture.
Then there are some miscellaneous cultural objects scattered in the corner of the stall. The main focus of this stall should be those bronze wares.
"Boss, our country strictly prohibits the sale of bronze cultural relics."
Su Xiaofan sat on the pony in front of the stall and struck up a conversation with the stall owner who looked to be in his forties.
"Yes, but the bronzes I sell are different."
The boss glanced at Su Xiaofan, maybe because he was bored and didn't care about Su Xiaofan's age, and immediately said: "The bronzes that are not allowed to be sold in our country are unearthed cultural relics from before the Han Dynasty. There are no objects from before the Han Dynasty in my stall. "
"As you look at the chimes, they were actually imitated during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor wanted to restore the bronze craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty. You see, there are also the words Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty on them."
"This bronze sword is actually from the Song Dynasty. It is not the main weapon in combat, but a decorative weapon for the emperor's guards.
Look at how beautifully made this is. I will give you a sword stand for this thing and put it in the study at home. Not to mention it will be more popular. "
The boss was very eloquent, and he was very eloquent when he introduced the objects on the stall. The key was that he spoke clearly and clearly, and he clearly introduced the ins and outs of several bronzes. At the same time, he also circumvented the rule that bronze cultural relics cannot be traded. .
"The price of my item is not high, but it is troublesome to put it up for auction. If you want it, I can give you an honest price."
After bragging about something, it’s natural to start selling it. It’s a waste of words to just talk about it but not sell it.
"How much do two pieces cost?" Su Xiaofan asked, suppressing a smile. The sportswear he was wearing today was not worth five hundred yuan in total. He didn't look like a wealthy man.
The stall owner in Yanjing still needs to practice his professional skills. At least he doesn't have enough eyesight to find the target customers.
"You can take two pieces worth thirty thousand."
The boss said: "To tell you the truth, I need money urgently for my son's schooling. Otherwise, these would be good heirlooms that I would not display on normal days."
"Okay, big brother, I'm not going to hide it from you. If you keep this thing for a few hundred years, it will definitely be passed down to your family. For now... let's forget it."
Su Xiaofan shook his head and said: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't expose your shortcomings, but these bronzes of yours have something to do with me."
"My bronze has something to do with you? Young man, how do you say this?"
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, the stall owner was stunned.
"These bronzes of yours must have come from Sujia Village in Luochuan."
Su Xiaofan smiled and said, "My surname is Su. Do you think these objects have anything to do with me?"
"Ah? Are you from Sujia Village?"
The stall owner was a little dumbfounded. How could he not know where the goods in his stall came from?
"That's right, boss, everything we make has its mark."
Su Xiaofan picked up the bronze sword, tapped a spot on the handle, and said, "Here, you can see it with a fluorescent light. Do you want me to borrow a banknote detector?"
"No, you look like an expert at first glance, haha. Not to mention, the stuff in your Sujiacun is really good."
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, the boss quickly started to fight.
"The rules in our Sujia Village are pretty good, boss, you should know that." Although Su Xiaofan had a smile on his face, his words were a bit cold.
"Hey, isn't this asking for a living, little brother, don't do it next time, don't do it next time!
And the price I offered is not too high, the craftsmanship of the bronzes in our Sujiacun is worth this price..."
The stall owner took a bottle of drink, put it into Su Xiaofan's hand, and said, "Brother, it's not easy. You can just let it go."
It's not that the stall owner wants to lower his profile so low, but he actually knows the rules of Sujiacun. If Sujiacun knows about this, his supply of goods may be cut off and cooperation will be terminated.
As he said, the bronzes in Sujiacun were well-made and could be sold at high prices. As long as one or two pieces were sold every month, he could earn a lot of money. The boss was reluctant to part with this channel.
"The bronze business in Sujiacun is really getting bigger."
Seeing the anxious look on the boss's face, Su Xiaofan realized how big their business in Sujiacun was.
In fact, when Su Xiaofan walked along the way just now, he saw bronzes from Sujiacun at several stalls. The reason why he didn't stop was because those stalls didn't have the items he wanted.
But at this stall, Su Xiaofan saw something good. He pointed out the origin of the other party's bronze, which was actually to facilitate his own efforts to lower the price.
"Forget it, boss, just be careful in the future. I'm easy to talk to, but if you encounter someone who's hard to talk to, I might not buy anything for you."
Su Xiaofan just wanted to scare him. In fact, although Sujia Village had this rule, there were so many people coming from all over the world to buy goods, how could they control them one by one.
Besides, what the boss did was not excessive. It cost three to four thousand yuan to buy a set of chimes. Adding in the bronze sword, which cost more than one thousand yuan, he made seven or eight times the profit, which was not that bad.
"Hey, thanks, brother. If there's anything you like on my stall, let's play with it."
The stall owner is very popular. Anyway, except for the bronzes, which are more expensive, the rest of the items in his stall are cheap, and the purchase price does not exceed one hundred yuan.
"Don't worry, boss, of course I have to pay for the things I buy."
Su Xiaofan reached out and picked up a dark pen holder. The bottom of this holder was a little charred, as if it had been burned by fire, and it looked very inconspicuous.
"Boss, this is made of African rosewood, right? The workmanship is very exquisite, but the bottom is missing. I want it for one hundred and fifty yuan."
"How about you being an expert?"
The boss raised his thumb and said, "One hundred and fifty, I won't negotiate the price anymore, you take it."
This tube was one of the batches of goods that the previous owner had given to him when he picked up a friend's stall, and the cost was only a few dozen yuan.
Because it had been burned by fire and was not in very good condition, this bottle was left on the stall and never sold. Now that someone is willing to ask for it and the price is higher than what he received, he is naturally willing to sell it.
"Okay, boss, the money has been paid. I'll see you later."
Su Xiaofan quickly took out his mobile phone and paid, asked the boss for a bag to put a pen holder in, said hello and left.
Walking on the antique street, the corners of Su Xiaofan's mouth curved upward.
If Su Xiaofan repaired the Ding kiln-engraved brush washer out of thin air, then this brush holder could be considered a lost item.
[Repair value: 6 points! 】
[Late Ming Dynasty Huanghuali High Relief Eight Love Pattern Pen Holder: Broken, can be repaired, 1 point of repair value needs to be deducted, should it be repaired? 】
"Hehe, even if this thing isn't repaired, even if it's a little different in quality, it's still a big leak!"
Su Xiaofan felt really happy at this moment. The huanghuali pen holder from tomorrow night has a history of hundreds of years. It is made of excellent material and has a long history. If the bottom of this thing had not been scorched by fire, it could have been put up for auction. .
"Repair!" Holding the pen holder, Su Xiaofan thought to himself that objects from the Ming Dynasty are worth spending some money on repairing.
[Repair value: 5 points! 】
[Huanghuali high-relief eight-love pattern pen holder in the late Ming Dynasty: irreparable! 】
Looking at the information coming from his mind, Su Xiaofan found that the burnt black patch at the bottom of the pen holder in his hand had disappeared. The entire pen holder was round and integrated, and no damage could be seen.
However, I don’t know if it’s because it hasn’t been wiped for a long time. The overall color of this old pen holder is still dark black. If Su Xiaofan hadn’t seen its age from the restoration value, he might have thought it was a modern red sandalwood work.
"These two items are almost gone, we can't continue shopping."
The repair value felt great when I used it, but after using it up, Su Xiaofan felt a little distressed.
Before coming to Yanjing, Su Xiaofan, who had absorbed the Yin Sha Stone, had a total of thirteen repair points.
It took six points to repair the ink jade Buddha for his sister, and a little for the Song Ding kiln brush washer. Including the pen holder, a total of eight points were used. Su Xiaofan decided to keep the rest. After all, he didn't know where to start from. Where can I find the Yinsha Stone?
"Repairing a magic weapon costs more repair value points than repairing antiques. It seems that the magic weapon is more valuable."
Su Xiaofan thought about the rules of how to use the repair value. The brush was broken into seven or eight pieces, and it only took a little to repair. And for a magic weapon in good condition, it would take at least three points to repair it. It can be seen that in terms of value, antiques are Not as good as a magic weapon.
After checking the time, it was already close to 12 noon. When it was time for dinner, Su Xiaofan did not continue shopping, but looked for Zhao Zhengshan.
"Uncle Zhao, how's the harvest?" It's much easier to find people than to find objects. After a while, Su Xiaofan found Zhao Zhengshan who was squatting in front of a stall.
"Xiao Su, you have gained a lot."
Looking at what Su Xiaofan was carrying, Zhao Zhengshan couldn't help but laugh. He raised a bag in his right hand and said, "I also gained something. Let's find a place where we can compete."
