The old lady looked dejected.
"Nothing valuable?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "The most expensive one is only eight hundred yuan."
He picked out a Yuan Datou made in the eighth year of the Republic of China. "The rest are worthless! Especially these Qianlong Tongbao, which are everywhere now, worthless!"
The old lady was a little unconvinced.
"Isn't it said that Qianlong's coins are the most valuable?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "That means that the mother money used to cast Qianlong Tongbao is the mold used to make money, which is valuable! Or it may be the first batch of Qianlong Tongbao made, which has a small circulation and is valuable for collection!"
"Ordinary copper coins like these that became popular later have no collection value!"
The rest of the people also asked Ye Zhiqiu to identify them. As a result, there was nothing valuable at all.
In the end, Ye Zhiqiu got a half-broken Jun kiln porcelain bowl from the Northern Song Dynasty and a mutilated blue and white porcelain vase from the Kangxi period.
The fat man also got a Qing Dynasty huanghuali root carving worth 500,000 yuan, and a small Five Emperors coin worth 300,000 yuan.
Old man Xue felt very sorry when he saw that Ye Zhiqiu and the others had been busy for nearly a whole morning without much gain.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "Old man, these harvests are already quite a lot! Antiques are not everywhere!"
Peach Blossom Village is not remote. I don’t know how many antique dealers have come here over the years. The good things may have been taken away long ago.
The two of them got up to say goodbye and came to the parking lot outside the village. The fat man said in high spirits: "Zhiqiu, I didn't expect that after walking around for a while, I got such a big harvest! I also made nearly 3 million today, and I can buy a Lamborghini." !”
"Now I finally have the confidence to reject my dad! Haha!"
"Zhiqiu, how much is that gourd cage worth? Is it really only worth one million?" The fat man knew Ye Zhiqiu very well. The look on Ye Zhiqiu's face just now did not indicate that it was worth just one million.
Ye Zhiqiu reached out to open the car door and smiled: "About four to five million!"
"Four to five million?" The fat man's eyes widened.
"Okay, it's four to five times more than what the old man asked for! It's totally worth it to treat him and his wife. Otherwise, you can buy it for one million! This is a good deal!"
"Now he gives it to you as the medical fee for the two of you, so they can repay their kindness!"
"If I don't treat them today, the medical expenses they will spend on going to the hospital in the future will be at least one million." Ye Zhiqiu chuckled.
He didn't tell the fat man the truth. The gourd cage was worth at least fifteen million.
Although Ye Zhiqiu believed in Fatty's character, he did not believe in human nature. Human nature could not stand the test at all.
The fat man may not covet his fifteen million, but no one can guarantee that he will be unbalanced. The two of them went out to pick up things together. He just picked up something worth two million, but he actually A full seven times more than him.
Once there is a conflict in the heart, it will explode sooner or later.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't want to lose his friend. After all, it was Fatty who helped him when he was in the most difficult time.
The fat man was also very smart and did not ask about the value of half a Jun kiln porcelain bowl and the damaged blue and white porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. Although the two of them were as close as brothers, there were some things that it was better not to ask.
The two started the car and left quickly.
More than an hour later, the two returned to Jianghai City and separated at an intersection. Ye Zhiqiu drove straight back to the antique shop.
As soon as his car stopped in front of the store, Bai Haotian and Xu Jiaojiao hurried out.
Xu Jiaojiao asked curiously: "Boss, do you have anything good?"
Ye Zhiqiu got into the back seat and took out the cricket cage.
"Lao Bai, Jiaojiao, there are two more things inside, one for each of you, so be careful!"
Lao Bai and Xu Jiaojiao got into the car and each exclaimed.
Afterwards, the two of them carefully walked into the store holding a blue and white porcelain vase from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and half a Jun kiln porcelain bowl from the Northern Song Dynasty, and placed them on the table.
The two were ecstatic and quietly looked at the three antiques on the table.
"This cricket cage? Hey, it's an old thing!" Bai Haotian looked at it closely, for fear of missing a detail.
After a long time, he said quietly: "It should be something from the Ming Dynasty, but I'm not sure what period it was!"
Xu Jiaojiao said: "The most famous person who played crickets in the Ming Dynasty was naturally the emperor who promoted weaving. Could this be his thing?"
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at her: "Bao Appraisal does not allow such blind guesses. There must be solid evidence!"
Xu Jiaojiao held her chin in her hands: "So, you really deceived me?"
Lao Bai looked at the cricket cage, "Looking at the cage cover and the shape of the cage, it is indeed a popular style during the Renxuan period of the Ming Dynasty. The carving of the lion is also consistent with that era!"
"As for this gourd, I can't determine the specific age! I can only use instruments!"
"If this is really Ming Xuanzong's cricket cage, the price is at least fifteen million! This famous cricket emperor of Ming Dynasty, in addition to his political achievements left in the history books, his hobby also left him a little A stain on history!”
Xu Jiaojiao turned her head and looked at the half of the Jun kiln porcelain bowl. The bowl was a crabapple red color, and the remaining half had a delicate glaze, as warm and moist as grease.
Bai Haotian sighed: "It's a pity that it's only half. If it were a complete one, it should be able to sell for three million! Now I'm afraid it can barely even reach one million!"
Ye Zhiqiu said: "The price of Jun porcelain has never gone up. The remaining pieces can be sold for one million, which is already a high price!"
Although Jun kiln is also one of the five famous kilns, the market value of Jun porcelain is far less than that of Ru porcelain.
Although there are various sayings circulating in the market: "Jun is the first of the five famous kilns", "Gold is valuable, Jun is priceless", "Jun porcelain is red and priceless", etc., the market situation is not promising.
It is no longer unusual for the Ding kiln to sell tens of millions of pieces of art, but the Jun kiln pieces worth tens of millions are all top-notch antiques.
Xu Jiaojiao said: "Boss, when you collect it, the price will be extremely low, right?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded: "Three thousand yuan!"
Bai Haotian smiled and said: "This price is still acceptable!"
"Although this blue and white porcelain is from the Kangxi period, the mouth of the bottle is damaged, the enamel on the surface has fallen off, and the carcass inside is even exposed in some places. It doesn't have much collection value. We might as well display it now. If anyone likes it, , let’s sell it.”
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said: "Yes! Junci's price is one million, and this blue and white porcelain's price is two million. You two can master it. You don't have to go up too much, but don't lose too much!"
Bai Haotian and Xu Jiaojiao nodded in agreement.
Ye Zhiqiu's cell phone suddenly rang, and it turned out to be a call from his sister Ye Ling'er.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother, come here and teach me a lesson! This guy shamelessly pesters me!"
Ye Zhiqiu suddenly became angry: "Is it that Xie Tianao again?"
