Chapter 766
When they met by chance, the old man didn't ask Yu Yao's name, and Yu Yao would not take the initiative to ask him.However, during the process of returning, the old man introduced himself, "My surname is Du. I used to be a criminal police officer. My biggest hobby in my life is antiques. Recently, there are juniors from the branch office who want to handle a case. Please cooperate a little bit."

Yu Yao smiled and said, "No wonder you are so insightful into the details. My surname is Yu, Mr. Du may call me Xiao Yu."

In fact, Yu Yao could guess when the plain-clothed man in plain clothes called out "old leader" to the old man.

Sui Yi also nodded and smiled at the old man, and gave his surname Sui.

The three of them came to the stall together again.

The stall owner was a fair and middle-aged man with a good memory. He recognized Yu Yao at a glance, saw him go and come back, thought he wanted to take the Jiajing blue and white bowl, immediately smiled and said: "I said you have Eyesight, something authentic to Ming."

"Well, but the green material used in the folk kiln is not particular, it's not a pure green material, the hair color is a bit boring, and the painter is not good." Seeing the stall owner picked up the blue and white bowl again, Yu Yao said directly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like it." The stall owner was a little embarrassed, and pointed at the stall, "There are so many things."

"I don't think the goods on your stall are crooked, but the ones you put on display are all old Pu, so it doesn't make much sense!" Yu Yao said.

The old man pointed to the suitcase next to the stall owner, "Take out the good things and have a look!"

"It's similar in the box, but it can't be opened." The stall owner lowered his head and lit a cigarette, as if he didn't want to open the box.

Yu Yao couldn't help but look at the old man, because Yu Yao didn't want to ask any more.If you don’t want to do business, either you already have a buyer and you’re just waiting for that one; or you think the buyers are wrong.

Antique trading is different from others, and it is also important to choose a buyer, especially some good things or sensitive things.

Seeing this, the old man seemed a little surprised by the stall owner's reaction.But Yu Yao and Sui Yi were brought here by him, he pondered for a while and then said to the stall owner, "I passed by your stall just now, and saw that you opened the box, there is a bronze vessel inside, right?"

The stall owner looked a little nervous, "Don't talk nonsense, bronze wares are not allowed to be sold!"

When Yu Yao heard it, he understood that the item was special. The stall owner just didn't want to sell it to strangers, and he didn't have a predetermined buyer. He couldn't help but smiled, "Who said bronze ware is not allowed to be sold? Bronze ware crafts are not allowed to be sold? Family heritage Are you not allowed to sell your gadgets? Besides, there are some things that are just not allowed to leave the country."

"You're not too old, but the path is quite clear." The stall owner looked at Yu Yao and the old man, "Are you together? Could it be that the old man is looking for the young man's eye?"

Yu Yao quickly waved his hands, "They're all players, so don't take your hat off."

The old man didn't take it seriously, "Okay, so much has been said, can you watch it? If you can't watch it, we won't bother you."

The stall owner thought for a while, "Okay, business is not doing well right now, it hasn't opened all morning, let's come in and have a look!"

When he said "come in and have a look", he meant to go to the back of the booth, and there was a small space beside the wall behind him.

The three of them passed by, the place was quite crowded, but it was just enough to block the sight of the people who were shopping in front of the stall.

Opening the suitcase, the stall owner took out a bronze goblet.

This bronze goblet is more than one foot high, with a trumpet mouth, a thin waist, and high feet; the body has cloud and thunder patterns, and the abdomen and feet have raised ribs.

The protruding ribs on the body are called "halberds" in professional terms; the porcelain with halberds and flower goblets that appeared in the Ming Dynasty imitated the shape of ancient bronze wares.

"Such familiarity, why are you shy?" After seeing the halberd goblet, the old man couldn't help but said; at the same time, he picked it up and looked at it.

The terms "cooked pit" and "raw pit" in antiques are now used on many utensils; the earliest ones actually came from bronze wares.Bronze wares are respected by the last three generations of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Almost none of them are buried in the soil, so those that have just been dug out are called "raw pits", and those that have been dug out for a long time are called "cooked pits".Of course, cooked pits also include the rare ones that have never been buried in the soil.

The bronze goblet that the stall owner took out has a deep blue-black appearance, the edges and corners and the skin are very smooth, and some patterns are even blurred. This seems to be the effect of being unearthed for hundreds of years.That's why the old man said that.

The stall owner smiled, "I'm not shy, I'm not familiar with the buyer, I don't know his eyesight, and I don't know his temperament. What if he thinks it's an unearthed cultural relic and reports it to me?"

At this moment, the old man seemed deeply attracted by the way he looked at the bronze goblet.

Yu Yao didn't speak, just followed the old man and looked around.

After the old man withdrew his gaze, he seemed a little anxious, and asked the stall owner without consulting Yu Yao, "What's the price?"

"Grandpa, I haven't finished talking just now. Except for unfamiliar buyers who are difficult to deal with, most people are not willing to buy from street stalls at this price." The stall owner paused here.

"No matter how high or low, you have to report!"

"You are happy, and I am happy, at least thirty!" The stall owner said in a low voice.

After hearing this, the old man frowned slightly, then looked at Yu Yao, and at the same time handed over the bronze goblet with both hands.

Yu Yao waved his hand, signaling that he doesn't need to start.

This piece of bronze goblet with cloud and thunder patterns and halberds is the shape of the early Western Zhou Dynasty; goblet is not only a wine vessel, but also a ritual vessel; if this goblet is genuine, with such a familiar pit and such a quality, it should be sold in a big auction. Can rush to a million.

However, it is not genuine.

But not a modern imitation either.

Seeing Yu Yao's expression changed, the old man asked, "Are you not interested?"

"Well, it's the same as that Ming Dynasty blue and white bowl, I don't think it's very interesting." Yu Yao emphasized the word "Ming Dynasty".

The stall owner coughed twice after hearing this, "Sir, if you find such things boring, there is nothing to do in this stall area."

Yu Yao smiled, instead of arguing with him, he stood up, "I'll take a look at the things in front of the stall again."

After listening to the word "Ming Dynasty" that Yu Yao uttered emphatically, the old man couldn't help examining the bronze goblet carefully, but after looking at it for a while, he still had hesitation in his eyes.

And Yu Yao has determined that the "Western Zhou Bronze Goblet" is actually an imitation of the Ming Dynasty.

The imitations of the Ming Dynasty have been handed down to the present, and the effect of familiarity has naturally appeared.

In the end, the old man let it go, but when he left, he didn't say anything dead, saying that he should think about it first.

After the three of them left the stall, the old man immediately asked Yu Yao, "Xiao Yu, according to your hint, is this bronze goblet an imitation from the Ming Dynasty?"

"Master Du, don't you think so?"

"I've seen quite a few high-quality imitations of the bronze wares of the last three generations in the Ming Dynasty; but how can they be of such a high standard? Especially the copper ones, I really can't find any flaws!" The old man frowned deeply and shook his head slightly.

"Yeah." Yu Yao nodded, "Master Du, the reason why it's hard to find flaws in this one is because of a unique technique."
