Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 228 Blue and White Porcelain

Taking advantage of his free time, Liu Junhao deliberately wandered around the shop selling koi. There were all kinds of koi tops, gold and silver scales, pine, bamboo and plum, etc., and the prices were also very different.

He originally wanted to estimate the price of the koi in his stone lock after looking at it, but the more he looked at it, the more depressed he became.Those koi in the spring water are all common goods, and they can't be sold for a price at all.

Think about it too, how expensive the koi caught in the school pond can be.

However, unlike ordering koi in the store, the color of the spring water is obviously much better.

The two wandered around, and finally came to a stall selling antiques.Collecting in the prosperous age, now is the peaceful and prosperous age, the collection is very hot, it can be regarded as the mobilization of the whole people.In the middle of the flower and bird market, there are antiques all over the place.

Zhang Qian watched a few episodes of "Appraisal of Treasures" on the Internet during this time, and really wanted to wander around the stalls to see if she could catch any leaks.

Liu Junhao hurriedly persuaded her to give up this idea. As the saying goes, all those who deal in antiques are nine fakes and one real. Finding real treasures like them is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

But even if you don't buy it, it's still good to go around for a long time.

"This... how much is this?" Zhang Qian squatted in front of the stall for more than ten minutes. She was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly saw the row of copper coins on the red cloth.

"This is the authentic Qianlong Tongbao. Look at Huang Liang, which has been handed down from generation to generation. How about selling it for ten yuan a piece, and a discounted price of 70 yuan for more than ten pieces? These things are woven into Chinese knots in a string of ten pieces. To attract wealth in the house, to bury it under the foundation to make the house prosperous, even to take one tied with a red string and put it around the neck can also drive away evil spirits..."

How capable is a Qianlong Tongbao?Both of them were a little sweaty.As expected of a businessman, it's smooth to say the least.

"It's so cheap?" As soon as Zhang Qian said it, the storekeeper was immediately dumbfounded, not knowing what she meant by that.I have been setting up a stall for more than ten years, and the buyers I have met have always thought things were expensive, not cheap.

"That... that, I still have expensive ones. They are all genuine, with quality and quantity guaranteed. Five emperors' money Chinese knots, a set of 'Shunkang Yongqianjia' for 880 yuan, and a set of Qing ten emperors' suits, a set of [-]. You all It seems that he is a cultural person, and it is very suitable to have such a set of ancient coins at home." The shopkeeper turned his head very quickly, thinking that he had encountered a fat sheep who did not know how to do it.

The clothes of the two of them are not eye-catching, but the monkey pet in his arms is not simple, one is at least a few thousand big.Could this be the master of the legendary "more money is stupid"?The boss was happy, this business must be done today.

But Liu Junhao knew what his wife meant, he must have remembered the string of copper coins kept in his house, and asked with the intention of making a small fortune.

There are at least more than 100 copper coins in the family, all of which are Qianlong Tongbao.There is no play, I checked it on the Internet, it is not worth money at all.

"No, let's just take a look." Zhang Qian hurriedly stood up, seeing the store's enthusiasm, she immediately understood that she was regarded as a fat sheep.

"Do I look like a fat sheep?" She asked depressedly after walking away.

"A little bit, how can there be a buyer like you." Liu Junhao still thinks it's a joke when he thinks about it now, the storekeeper's expression at that time was very exciting.

"Go" Zhang Qian lightly twisted his hand.

"You two, please stay here..." They were fighting, when suddenly a tall and thin man stopped them.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Liu Junhao asked with a serious face. Judging from the appearance of this person, he seemed to be a bit hostile.But thinking about it, they came in and walked around, and they didn't seem to offend anyone.

"I followed the two of you just now to look around for a long time, and you didn't seem to have bought anything you like. I have an antique here, do you want it?" The thin man approached mysteriously and said.

"Really?" Before Liu Junhao could speak, Zhang Qian had already picked up the conversation.

"Well, you come with me, let's find a place to trade, there are a lot of people here..." He patted the waste paper box in his arms.

"Right here." Liu Junhao hurriedly interrupted him.

Trade somewhere else?Who knows who this skinny man is.His wife has the intention of picking up leaks, but he doesn't.If there are really antiques, then trade them openly, unless the things come from bad sources or you want to kill them at all.According to what this person said, he had been following them for a long time, and it was obvious that he decided on the target before attacking.

Thinking of this, Liu Junhao has already made up his mind, and he will find out later that Chuan Guo Yuxi himself will not let his wife buy it.

"This is not good, there are too many people... There is something wrong with the way I got this thing," the thin man's eyes began to flicker.

"We don't want things that come from bad sources," he said before pulling his wife away.

"Wait... We can go there, there is no problem. I have no problem with the source of this thing. I stole it from my old man, so I'm afraid that acquaintances will see it." The thin man panicked and pointed to an open space on the corner of the street.

The more you explain, the less believable it becomes.

When the three of them came to the corner, the thin man carefully opened the cardboard box, pushed aside the old newspapers inside, and said to them, "Porcelain is not handy, this is the rule, please."

Seeing that this guy looked as good as the real thing, Liu Junhao also became a little curious, wanting to see what was inside the cardboard box.

"It's a bowl after making it for a long time, and I haven't noticed any difference from the usual bowls. It's not as delicate as the ones bought on the street." Zhang Qian took the big light blue bowl out of the cardboard box and looked at it a few times. eye, very disappointed.

"This... this is an ancient craft, so it's naturally different." The thin man could tell that Zhang Qian didn't understand anything, and turned to Liu Junhao and said, "Brother knows the goods at a glance. Do you give me a hand?"

"I don't understand either." Liu Junhao took it from Zhang Qian's hand and looked at it a few times.This bowl is not small, the diameter of the mouth of the bowl is nearly twenty centimeters, and the height is also ten centimeters.The inside and outside of the bowl are decorated with this blue and white pattern, and there are a few ghost-like characters written on the bottom of the bowl, probably in Manchu, but he doesn't know it at all.

"This... I heard from my dad that it's called a blue and white porcelain bowl. Both of you must have heard of Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain"." The thin man glanced at the two, and then explained, "Look at this color, it is the sky in the lyrics." Cyan. Let me tell you that although this bowl looks ordinary, its origin is not simple..."

"Why isn't it simple?" Liu Junhao thought it was listening to the story for free, and there was nothing serious about the two of them coming to the flower and bird market.

"You see, my brother doesn't dress well, but he told me that his family is not bad. It's just that my brother has one bad thing. He likes to play two games when he is free. If he loses more times, his family will be tighter about cash. This It’s not that I gambled a lot in the past two days, I lost thousands of yuan at once, and people followed behind to ask for the bill. I really had no choice but to steal the blue and white porcelain bowl collected by the old man..." The thin man talked for a long time before he started to talk about porcelain The history of the bowl.

When his grandfather was young, he served as a guard under a battalion commander of the Beiyang Army. At that time, wars were everywhere, and the soldiers who led the soldiers could not raise food and pay at all.The battalion commander finally moved his mind and directed his close subordinates to dig up other people's graves.

Speaking of this, the thin man added another sentence, "Sun Dianying, you should know, the one who dug the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi, my grandfather also did this job..."

A few soldiers dug a large grave for the first time. After blasting the grave with dynamite, it was full of things like silver and porcelain.At that time, several people felt that they were about to develop, but they didn't know that the battalion commander wanted to monopolize it.

The few soldiers under him simply did not do anything, took advantage of no one to throw the battalion commander into the wilderness, and then divided the gold and silver porcelain and went back to their hometowns.

After returning home, his grandfather used the money to buy a few acres of land and lived as a landlord.It is expected that after a few years of good times, they will be liberated.Their family is a landlord. Grandpa was denounced and all the things in the house were confiscated. This blue and white porcelain bowl was preserved after going through untold hardships.

"Hey, if it wasn't for my brother's tight money recently, I wouldn't have sold the things left by my ancestors. My ancestors didn't leave a lot of things, and selling one is less than one. No way, who told him There is such a prodigal descendant like me." At the end of the talk, the thin man sighed a few times, his face looked particularly lonely.

Liu Junhao admired this guy a little bit. Although the story was probably made up, his expression gave people the feeling of telling the truth.

"Little Wu, have you come over too?" At this moment, a passerby suddenly shouted and walked towards them.

"Hold this thing, don't say it's mine, just say it's yours." The skinny man was very nervous.

"Little Wu, why didn't you agree when I called you?" While speaking, the man had already walked up to them and patted the thin man on the shoulder vigorously.

The visitor is in his 40s, wearing glasses and a suit. He looks refined and should be a successful person.

"Uncle Chen, you're here. I'm chatting with my friends, I didn't notice you old man... Did you fancy anything?" Xiao Wuzi was talking to the visitor, but his eyes kept winking at Liu Junhao.Seeing what that meant, he wanted him to put away the blue and white porcelain bowl.

"I have nothing to do, I just want to come here to buy two good things." The man with glasses said and smiled at the two of them as a greeting.But when his gaze passed over the big bowl in Liu Junhao's hand, he was obviously taken aback, "Hey, this bowl...boy, can I have a look at the bowl in your hand?"

"Of course." Liu Junhao ignored the skinny man's wink and handed it over directly.

"Porcelain can't be handed, young man, you'd better put it on the ground." Not only did the man with glasses not reach out to catch it, but he took a step back.

It is so important to make a broken bowl, Liu Junhao had to put the big bowl in the cardboard box again.

"Well, from the perspective of classical elegance, simplicity and elegance, it should be the blue and white porcelain bowl of Houjin. It's a pity, if there is no such crack on the wall of the bowl, it will be worth at least [-] yuan, and it is sold in our city for just over [-] yuan. Take it. It’s hard to say when it comes to BJ, I’m afraid it will cost [-] to [-]. Boy, is this your bowl?”

"Yes, yes, Uncle Chen, it's his." Before Liu Junhao could respond, the thin man had already opened his mouth.

"Oh... did you just buy it or are you going to sell it? If you sell it, how about transferring it to me, unambiguously, 2 yuan!"

"Uncle Chen, how can you bargain like this, and cut off [-] yuan with one mouth." The thin man jumped up again.

"Who are you helping, kid? You have to get BJ to sell it for 1 yuan, and the round trip fee and accommodation cost [-] yuan." The man with glasses smiled and glared at him, then turned his head and asked, "Is it for sale? ?”

"Hey, this is my friend, of course I'm helping a friend." The thin man continued to wink and secretly extended three fingers.

"To be honest, this thing doesn't belong to me, and I don't know this big brother, you two can just trade." Liu Junhao cupped his hands and pulled Zhang Qian to stand beside him.

"Little Wuzi, this is yours... you stole it from home again?" The man with glasses started to stare when he heard this.

"Uncle Chen, how dare I, my old man asked me to sell it."

"You are lying, I don't know your kid's tricks. Well, I don't care where I got this thing, how much are you willing to sell it for?"

"No, my friend has already taken his fancy." The thin man shook his head hastily, then sneaked out two fingers, and then slapped him again.That means, it seems to mean that [-] was sold to Liu Junhao.

"This... lad, how much do you want to pay for it?"

"We don't understand, and we're not going to buy it. You guys continue to talk," Liu Junhao said, pulling Zhang Qian away, ignoring the man with glasses shouting behind him.

"Damn it, after spending a long time talking and talking, the two of them are not on the right track." Seeing them walking away, the thin man stomped his foot on the ground hard.He was very depressed, he didn't expect to meet two people who didn't understand anything today.This kind of person is the most difficult to fool, because they don't understand, so they won't buy it easily.If you say that kind of person is the easiest to be fooled, it is someone who knows little about antiques. This kind of person has a serious mentality of picking things up. After reading a few books about collecting, he thinks he is an expert and wants to hit the big luck.

"You kid next time you see it right and then strike again. He didn't answer from the beginning to the end. What are you doing?" The man with glasses is no longer elegant at this moment.

"Didn't I watch them face each other..."

* * *
"What's the matter, I'm still thinking about what happened just now." Liu Junhao pulled his wife out of the flower and bird market, seeing her depressed mood, he asked with a smile.

"Are we really like fat sheep?" To be honest, Zhang Qian is very hurt now.

"You can see it too?" Liu Junhao just thought that his wife was moved by the man with glasses, so he hastily pulled her away.

"Am I so stupid that I can't see such an obvious double spring? I can earn [-] yuan by changing hands in BJ, who is fooled. If this is the case, that skinny guy will BJ in the morning."

"So you didn't fall into Qian's eyes, I said why are you so sober." Liu Junhao joked with a smile.

"Say one more thing?" Zhang Qian punched him with a smile.

This game seems simple, but it might work when you meet someone who wants to pick up the leak.Just like the soda can winning the lottery that caused a lot of trouble in the past few years, many smart people were deceived because of their fascination with money.Earn 1 yuan in a change of hands. Where can I find such a good job?

After walking around the flower and bird market, they walked out empty-handed without buying anything.
