The subtitle information is as follows:

Era: Ming Dynasty

Condition: Old.

Quality: Excellent.

Summary: A rare masterpiece.

Market price: 200 million

Actual value: 250 million.

Seeing these subtitles, Yang Chen's eyes suddenly brightened horribly.

Who would have thought that while having a meal at a small restaurant on the street, you would encounter blue and white porcelain worth millions.

And this porcelain is actually used to hold fried pork with chili?

This style, this level, invisibly, Yang Chen only felt that his temperament, which had nowhere to put it, was rising slowly.

Suddenly the food no longer tasted good.

Everywhere you look is this porcelain bowl for serving food.

The porcelain bowl is a big bowl.

Using blue and white techniques, lotus, peony, chrysanthemum and pomegranate flowers are painted, which means wealth, longevity and many children.

Except for oil stains and vegetable stains, this blue and white porcelain bowl is in very good condition. After wiping it with a paper towel, it is as clean as new.

As for why he was reduced to a small restaurant on the street and turned into a vegetable bowl, Yang Chen didn't care. His only thought now was, how to get this vegetable bowl?

The market price is 200.

The actual value is 250 million.

Why is there an extra 50? Switch to the system annotation and the explanation given is: There are currently only 6 bowls of this type known in the world.

2 only at Bay Bay Museum.

2 are only in the British Museum.

1 only in the Persian Museum.

The other one is the one in front of Yang Chen.

Rare is precious!

Coupled with the Jingdezhen official kiln of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, it is of the highest quality made by the imperial court and has a touch of exotic style. It is very unique and extremely rare. So there is considerable room for a premium.

Yang Chen stopped eating.

I don’t even feel like eating anymore.

Wondering how to get this bowl.

Just steal it?

The store owner will definitely not care about the gain or loss of a vegetable bowl.

But this kind of thing is illegal after all. Once investigated seriously, good guy, the penalty for stealing a blue and white porcelain bowl worth millions is very different from that of an ordinary vegetable bowl.

There is no need to take this risk.

Pay for it?
  Inexplicably, if you buy a vegetable bowl from someone else's restaurant, they may not be willing to sell it.

After thinking about it, Yang Chen had an idea.

"Waiter, pack it for me!"

At this time, the waiter finally brought up the other two dishes. Yang Chen waved to pack them up and take them away. The waiter immediately brought two plastic boxes and quickly helped him pack them.

"Wait a moment."

Yang Chen waved his hand to stop him: "Sorry, I'm allergic to plastic lunch boxes. Do you think this will work?"

As he spoke, he poured the spicy and sour crispy tripe and stir-fried yellow beef into the vegetable bowl containing the fried pork with chili pepper: "I'll use this bowl to pack it. How much do you think it will cost?"

The waiter was stunned.

This was also the first time she encountered a customer packing food and asking for food bowls from her restaurant.

After thinking about it, I asked the boss lady.

The proprietress was busy collecting money to sell things at the counter. When she heard the waiter say this, she refused directly, saying that business was good now and her own kitchen was too little, so how could she let customers take away the food.

The waiter should be a relative of the proprietress or something.

All communication is in dialect.

The waiter came over and conveyed the proprietress's intention, then turned around and went to work.

Yang Chen smacked his lips.

The layout of this boss lady is a bit small!

Either way.

Yang Chen carefully carried the blue and white porcelain bowl worth more than 200 million yuan, came to the counter, pointed to the most expensive bottle of wine on the counter, and said boldly: "Boss lady, bring me this bottle of wine." This is a bottle of 52 degree Sky Blue.

480ML.

The price is 468.

It's not a high-end wine, but for a small restaurant on the street, it's pretty good.

Drinks are highly profitable.

At least make more than half.

Naturally, the landlady took out the wine with a smile on her face and quickly opened it, not giving the customer a chance to regret it.

This woman is so ruthless in business!
  Yang Chen scanned the QR code to pay, and then gestured to the vegetable bowl in his hand: "Boss Boss, I want to pack it, but I am allergic to plastic lunch boxes. Can I use this bowl?"

"I'll give you the money. It's not free of charge. All you have to do is buy a few more big bowls."

This time the landlady did not refuse.

"Okay, give me 20 yuan."

After saying that, he took out a packing bag and took the initiative to help Yang Chen put the blue and white porcelain bowl in it.

Yang Chen quickly scanned the QR code to pay, then left with the bowl in hand.

In my heart, it was a beautiful feeling.

You thought you made money on a bottle of wine, but in fact you just closed a deal worth millions.

You think you are on the fifth layer, but you are actually on the atmosphere
  "Hey, handsome guy, you didn't get your drink."

The landlady shouted at Yang Chen's back.

Yang Chen walked in a hurry.

He was so focused on the bowl that he didn't even pay attention and quickly disappeared around the corner.

The lady boss blinked her eyes and suddenly felt a little regretful. She regretted that she opened the bottle cap too quickly, otherwise wouldn't it be delicious if she took it back to the counter and sold it again?
  ……

"Boss Zhang, are you in the store?"

Yang Chen called Zhang Wenyu, the owner of Zhenbaozhai Antique Shop.

"Drinking tea with Mr. Lin in the store, did Brother Yang pick something up and miss it again?" Zhang Wenyu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Haha~"

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Yes, my luck is really good today. I just spent 20 yuan to buy a blue and white porcelain bowl from the official kiln in Jingdezhen during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, there were waves of envious tut-tuts coming from the other end of the phone.

"Brother, calling you a talented person is an insult. It's only been less than an hour, and you've made another mistake, and it's a big one!"

Zhang Wenyu's teeth were so envious that they were sore.

“There were no bargains in the official kilns in Jingdezhen during the Yongle period!”

"Brother, where are you?"

"Do you have any idea of ​​​​taking action on this blue and white porcelain?"

"I promise to give you the fairest price!"

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Wenyu's attitude was very sincere and caring.

It's rare for people who work in antique circles to come across a good object. Once they do, they feel like a cat scratching their itch, wanting to keep it for themselves.

The official kilns of Jingdezhen in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty are absolutely exquisite and good objects.

Therefore, Zhang Wenyu's strong possessiveness can be felt across the phone.

"Sell!"

"Of course I sell it!"

"I'll go to your store right away, just wait for me for a few minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen poured out the food in the blue and white porcelain bowl, washed the bowl, got some newspaper foam and wrapped it carefully before striding towards Tianxin Pavilion Antique Market.

……

Treasure House.

Zhang Wenyu was drinking tea with Mr. Lin Shugeng.

Mr. Lin's granddaughter, Ruoxi, a willful girl with twin ponytails, a denim skirt with suspenders, and over-the-knee white socks and small sandals, with a slight two-dimensional style, is wandering in the store.

As soon as Yang Chen appeared, Zhang Wenyu stood up and greeted him, much more enthusiastic than the last time.

When Lin Shugeng and Lin Lao saw him, they also smiled and nodded.

Ruoxi, on the other hand, snorted coldly, breathed out from his nostrils, and turned a blind eye.

"Come, sit down and drink tea."

Zhang Wenyu invited Yang Chen to his seat, his eyes never leaving the bowl in his hand.

Mr. Lin had just found out on the phone that Yang Chen had picked it up again. At this time, he also asked with interest: "Little brother, where did you buy this blue and white porcelain bowl?"

"I picked up three leaks in a day, and the quality is pretty good. Let alone experts and professors, even an old man like me may not have this ability."

"My little brother is definitely a strange person!"
