Xiao Yao rushed to Zhongfu Antique City, but after only an hour, his interest in treasure hunting was gone.

And it is that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

He came to the antique city with the purpose of picking up leaks, but it turned out that his plan to make a fortune by picking up leaks was simply a luxury.

In the peaceful era when the knowledge of antique appreciation is becoming more and more popular, it is not so easy to pick up the leaks in the antique market, even if he has a cheat like a treasure hunting card.

In the antique market that has been prosperous and developed for many years, there are not many opportunities to pick up leaks, but his requirements are too high, and he can't look down on the opportunities for leaks below 10 million yuan.

His requirements are so high, not because he is hypocritical, but because his starting point is too high, and the wealth of less than 10 million yuan is indeed dispensable for him, rather than wasting time on these small gains, it is better to use this energy to develop enterprises. If the same energy is used to develop the enterprise, the harvest will be greater.

Walking through the antique street, there are often stars in the first row, but only when the third star is lit up will he stop to look for it.

The third star lit up, indicating that antique artworks worth more than 10 million yuan appeared within 10 meters of his body.

A fortune of more than 10 million yuan is not a small number, and it is already worth his time to stop and spend time looking for it.

Within an hour of his arrival at Zhongfu Antique City, the third star in the first row lit up three times.

Every time he saw the third star light up, his mood would be uplifted, but after his search, his expression would immediately dim.

This is because the third star is lit up, which does not mean that there is a big leak of more than 10 million yuan for him to pick up, but only proves that there are items worth more than 10 million yuan within 10 meters of his body.

And the results of his three explorations, what he found were all treasures of antique shops, and the other party's asking price was much higher than the actual price.

wasted an hour in vain, and didn't even pick up a big leak, Xiao Yao's excitement naturally disappeared.

Xiao Yao already knew that this plan was of little value to him, so he could consider giving it up.

Although I have already made a decision, since I have come to the antique city, I have to spend half a day shopping. No matter how much he gained in this half day, he was not going to come to the antique city to pick up leaks in the future.

did not pick up a big leak of more than 10 million yuan for two consecutive hours, and Xiao Yao had to lower his expectations.

After lowering his expectations, he quickly reaped the rewards.

He walked past a counter with bamboo carvings, and the second star in the first row of the treasure hunt cards lit up, indicating that there were 10,000 items nearby.

When you come to the antique city, you can't not gain nothing, right? Xiao Yao decided to waste a little time to find out if there was any leakage.

Most of the bamboo carvings placed on the counter are modern handicrafts, which are all works of famous artists, and the price ranges from 1,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan. Among them, several bamboo carvings look relatively old, and the boss said that they were antiques from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, but the price was not very high, and the highest asking price was only 20,000 yuan.

Xiao Yao's gaze was finally fixed on a bamboo root carved birthday ornament.

This is a birthday ornament sitting on the rockery, the shape is expressive, and the pulp is heavy.

In the bamboo root carving birthday ornaments, there are more people in the standing posture, and there are fewer birthday stars in the sitting position. This bamboo root carving birthday star is made of larger material, sitting on the rockery, the head is high and convex, the curved eyebrows are long and hanging, the expression is kind, the smile is wide open, the left hand holds Ruyi, the right hand holds the peach, the long hair hangs down the chest, the lips and jaws and the long hair are connected as a piece, the eyebrows, eyes and beard are delicately depicted, the layers are clear, and the silk can be distinguished. Wide coat with large sleeves, folds hanging down layer upon layer, elegant and smooth, nine children around the body frolic and play, different forms, or holding fairy peach or holding wish, the scene is funny, the atmosphere of life is extremely strong, forming a vivid scene that means "many sons and many longevity".

This ornament, the carved appearance is vivid, and the exaggerated facial expressions of children and the benevolent demeanor of the birthday star form a strong visual contrast, making the overall carving of comedy more intense. Its carving knife method is mainly round carving and high relief, and the knife work is proficient and the technique is exquisite.

Xiao Yao quickly judged that this bamboo root carving ornament is definitely a masterpiece of Qing bamboo carving, and it is an old collection of the palace, and the market value should be about 8 million yuan.

After judging the value of this bamboo root carving, Xiao Yao was very happy. The second star in the first row of the treasure hunt card lit up, and the value span of the indicated items was still too large, from 100,000 yuan to 10 million yuan.

Although he has lowered his expectations, he is still not interested in items under one million yuan, unless he likes it very much, and there is really no need to waste time and energy on small items of low value.

There was no harvest for more than two hours in a row, and after raising the expectation, the first item he found was an antique worth about 8 million, and he felt that he was still quite lucky, and this bamboo root carving was worth his shot.

Although the boss does not know the true value of this bamboo root carving, he can still see the vivid carving of this bamboo root carving, so the value of this bamboo root carving in the boss's mind is the highest, and the asking price of 20,000 yuan is this one.

After some bargaining, Xiao Yao won this bamboo root carving birthday ornament at a price of 10,000 yuan.

Finally got a harvest, Xiao Yao regained some confidence and continued to start his journey of picking up leaks.

It may be that luck returned after winning the bamboo root carving birthday ornament, and when I walked into the next store, the third star in the first row of the treasure hunt card lit up again.

The third star lit up didn't mean that there was a leak, he first had to determine how much the treasure in the store was worth.

This is a shop that deals in wood carving, after inquiry, I learned that the treasure of the town store is only worth more than 5 million, obviously the third star is not because of the treasure of the town store of this store, which means that there is a big leak to check.

After confirming this, he began to carefully appreciate the more than 100 wood carvings of various sizes displayed in the shop.

His gaze swept over all the wood carvings, and to his surprise, he saw three extremely skilled wood carvings, which did not include the treasures of the shop.

The best carving technique is a seated statue of Shakyamuni.

His gaze fell on the seated statue of Shakyamuni again, and he began to appreciate it carefully.

This seated statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, the carving technique is skillful, the posture is natural, calm and noble, the expression of the face is quiet and compassionate, the Buddha's robe is soft and elegant, the folds of the clothes are rich and beautiful, and the light and shadow are lifelike, shocking and moving.
