Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 205 Eleven Exchange Meeting ([-])
"Did the big man break the watch you mentioned before?"

As the two were walking, Yi Xiaoyue asked him. She seemed to still not believe that someone would do such a thing.

"Isn't this obvious! You can tell from the antique shop owner's expression and attitude just now that he is definitely not looking for trouble!"

Even if he had no memory of the past, Wu Yuansheng believed that the owner of the antique shop was not telling lies when he saw this situation.

He must be clear about everything in his own store.

"If he deliberately breaks something, even if he buys it, doesn't he still have to pay someone to repair it?"

She probably didn't feel it was appropriate to talk about this in the store, so after leaving, she mentioned the matter to him again and asked her doubts.

"There must be an acquaintance or relative who knows how to repair watches. It doesn't cost much to repair them!"

Seeing her somewhat innocent look, Wu Yuansheng felt a little dumbfounded. She thought too well of others.

Most people who have just graduated from school are relatively simple and kind-hearted.

After she has seen and experienced society for a few more years, she may understand that not everyone is a good person.

"If you say so, then it's possible!"

After all, there are acquaintances who know how to repair this, and it makes sense for them to cooperate in such a business.

“There are many people selling fake goods in antiques. When you get to the antique city and visit the street stalls, you will find that many items are actually imitations.

In the past, the more high-end items were, the more likely they were to be copied!Nowadays, everything is imitated, regardless of whether it is high-end or not.

Even copper coins and coins worth two yuan each may be fake! "

Since he was coming to visit, he must tell her some things in advance.

"Yeah! I've heard of this!"

The two of them talked and arrived at the gate of the antique city.

"There are so many people here today!"

Taking a look at the door, there were street stalls everywhere on both sides of the road. Looking at the stalls and the people coming and going, Yi Xiaoyue said to him again.

"There are quite a few! For the National Day event, some people from out of town should be invited."

He just heard the voices of the people setting up stalls inside, which had the accent of foreigners.

This kind of exchange event usually invites some outsiders to participate.

In 13, the environment for the antique industry was good. At that time, people liked to visit antique markets, and there were more people buying antiques. Many people bought and sold goods all over the country.

While the two were chatting, they walked through the door.

"Young man, let's see if there's anything you like!"

As soon as he arrived at the first stall, a middle-aged man in his 40s said to him that he looked familiar. He was a local, but he had not interacted with him much.

"I'll take a look first. If there's anything you need, I'll tell you!"

As he spoke, Wu Yuansheng took a look at the things on his stall. There were not too many, including porcelain, copperware, paper collections, woodware, various jade products, coins, etc.

These items are a mixture of real and fake.

After looking at it for a while, he found a pair of porcelain "drum"-shaped ballast rulers inside, which were relatively delicate.

This drum-shaped ruler is about 7 centimeters high, about 8 centimeters in diameter at its widest, and about 6 centimeters in diameter at the top and bottom.

The ruler is made of blue and white porcelain, with flower patterns painted on the surface.

Wu Yuansheng picked them up and felt they were very solid. After looking at them carefully, he found that these two items should be authentic, dating from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

"Boss, how much does this pair of rulers cost?"

Putting them back on the stall, he asked the stall owner if the price was right, he planned to buy them.This kind of drum-shaped porcelain ruler is not very common.

Putting it on the stall instead of holding it in your hand is also to show whether you want it or not, so that the stall owner will not shout out the price.

"Please pay 600 yuan for a pair! Items from the mid-Qing Dynasty, guaranteed to be authentic!"

The stall owner thought for a while and then said.

"600 is a bit expensive. In fact, I am a collector just like you. I'll give you 400, and I won't pay back half of it!"

He also thought about making a half-for-half counteroffer, but in that case, the street stall owner would definitely not sell it. After all, if the item was right, but it was too wrong, he would definitely not sell it.

"You can add 50 more! You can let some knowledgeable people take a look at my pair of rulers before you buy them. If I say they are authentic, I will keep them authentic!"

The stall owner still wanted him to increase the price.

"It's only 400 yuan, 200 yuan each, which is a lot! If it works, I'll pay, if not, forget it! Besides, if I buy it, I should make some profit!"

Wu Yuansheng looked like he was ready to leave if he didn't agree.

"Okay! Then it's 400 yuan. You can take it for the business that opens in the morning."

The stall owner thought for a while and then agreed.

He paid 400 yuan and asked the street stall owner to wrap them in newspapers. Then he took the things and went to the stalls inside with Yi Xiaoyue.

"There is a nice embroidery here!"

After browsing a few more stalls inside, Yi Xiaoyue pointed to a place and said to him.

Following the direction she pointed, Wu Yuansheng took a look and found that there was indeed a particularly beautiful embroidery framed by a wooden frame.

The object is rectangular, about 40 centimeters long and about a foot wide.

The embroidery is made of flowers and birds, and the flowers look like lotus and lotus seeds.There are three birds, two are flying and one is standing next to the lotus.

Whether it is flowers or birds, they are all embroidered with threads of different colors, and the edges look particularly natural.

The embroidery work is very good, the whole embroidery looks very coordinated, there is nothing wrong with it.

He took a look at the stall owner. He was a man in his 50s. His accent sounded like he was from outside the provincial capital.

"Boss, how much does your embroidery cost?"

Yi Xiaoyue liked it, so he asked about the price.

He had bought several pairs of cross-stitch and embroidery in the demolition area before, but none of them were as good as this one.

"That's 2000 yuan! Did you look at the wood on the frame? It's made of huanghuali. This is good wood!"

The boss didn't say whether the embroidery inside was good or not, but directly said the wood of the frame was good.

He was just looking at the embroidery, and he didn't look carefully at the wooden frame.

The boss said this. He picked up the item, took a good look at the wooden frame, and found that it was really made of huanghuali.

2000 yuan is not very expensive to buy such an item, but he will not pay back the price at all.

"Boss, this frame is indeed made of huanghuali, but there are a few scratches on it. It doesn't look like a particularly good huanghuali material. I'll give you 1500. What do you think?"

This kind of item will always have some problems over time. This is a normal phenomenon, but if you don't find some problems, it will be difficult to bargain.

"If 1500 doesn't work, give me 1600. If it works, take it away. If it doesn't work, forget it!"

The boss thought for a while and said the lowest price he wanted to sell.
