Chapter 504: Imitation of a purple clay pot
When Lao Zhou heard Shang Muli's words, he immediately smiled, "This beauty can't say that, the things in this imperial study are all precious, this is also handed down by my ancestors, if it weren't for the two of them today, it would be impossible to deliberately take out my treasure to the two long-eyed." ”
Xu Qingliu was interested, and after putting on gloves, he carefully held the purple clay pot in his hand.
According to Lao Zhou's meaning, this is the purple clay pot used by Kangxi Ye back then, and the quality will definitely not be too bad, but Xu Qingliu always feels that there is something wrong with these two people.
"Could it be that there is something wrong in this purple clay pot?"
Xu Qingliu held the purple clay pot in his hand and kept playing with it.
According to this process and shape, it is indeed somewhat similar to the purple sand pot in the Kangxi period, and the dragon and phoenix carved on this purple sand pot also have a unique flavor.
But Xu Qingliu knew that when Kangxi was young, he ascended the throne at the age of eight, and it can be said that he was decisive in killing, and he definitely didn't like this kind of luxurious and nihilistic thing.
What's more, although the material of this purple clay pot is good, it is always a little worse in terms of mobilization, giving people a feeling of being done in one go.
But this carving, unless it reaches a certain level, there is almost no one in one go, even if it is really done in one go, it will not be this feeling, because although the dragon and phoenix on the purple clay pot are carved with plates and eyes, but there is always a little less charm, making them look very rigid and stiff.
"This can't be a mass production machine and then make it old!"
Xu Qingliu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
It seems that these two people are really thieves shouting to catch thieves!
"Hehe, Mr. Zhou, your purple clay pot is made of high-quality materials, exquisite workmanship, and each knife carved is accurate, at a glance, it is absolutely very human, at first glance, it is customized by the machine, I don't know if the cost is a thousand yuan?"
When Lao Zhou was proud, when he heard Xu Qingliu's words, he nodded coldly, "Young man, you are right, the cost price is only about 1,200, and the amount can be discounted!"
It's just that before he could speak, he consciously lost his words, and Lao Zhou immediately covered his mouth and looked at the people around him very carefully.
At this moment, many people heard Lao Zhou's words and began to talk about him, and even Dong Laosan, who was beside her, couldn't help but sigh again and again, "Lao Zhou, you are shooting geese every day, and you were pecked by geese today." Lao Zhou, let's go, there won't be any more places for you here!"
Lao Zhou originally wanted to quibble, but when he saw the stall owners around him, they all glared at him.
You must know that although the things in the flea market are half true and half fake, no one has ever dared to deceive others, which is an obvious cost.
Once this kind of thing spreads in the flea market, then the reputation of the entire market will be greatly damaged, and not only Lao Zhou will be swept away, but even the harmonious stalls living near them will also be implicated.
Instead of waiting for someone else to clean it up, it's better to clean the portal yourself.
"Alas, it's also my fault for this matter, I'm greedy for a little cheap, old brothers, I'm sorry!"
Lao Zhou's face flushed, he arched his hand to the surroundings, and after packing his things directly, he turned around and left.
After seeing Lao Zhou leave, Dong Laosan pulled Xu Qingliu to his stall, found two small benches for Xu Qingliu and Shang Muli to sit down and said: "Alas, you can't blame Lao Zhou for this matter, he is also forced by life." In fact, he also has a deep hatred for people who cost money, and the purple clay pot in his palm is actually what he bought from others. ”
Xu Qingliu was slightly stunned, and said with some curiosity: "Isn't it because of money?" In fact, Lao Zhou has also made some money selling antiques here in recent years, but his daughter-in-law is sick and urgently needs a sum of money, so he is greedy and wants to find a treasure that can catch his eyes, a book of ten thousand profits, and he came across this fake purple clay pot. ”
"The man sold him 50,000 yuan, which was his daughter-in-law's life-saving money, but it was gone, he has been on fire every day recently, and he doesn't know how to live this day!"
Dong Laosan also sighed again and again.
Xu Qingliu didn't think that this old Zhou was pitiful, but he pitied his daughter-in-law, and he knew what would happen if he didn't have medical expenses.
However, Xu Qingliu didn't ask in vain about this matter, and asked for Lao Zhou's phone number and address and put it in his pocket.
He also hated antique counterfeiting.
On the way back, Shang Muli tugged at the corner of Xu Qingliu's clothes, and said a little unbearably: "Xu Qingliu, I think it's better for us to go and see Lao Zhou, I don't think he's a bad person, besides, he still has fake antique news there, it's better to ......"
"Okay, I also have some sympathy for Lao Zhou's matter, if he is really deceived by me, it doesn't hurt for us to help him, I'm afraid that he is also a fellow believer, I think this kind of person can only be left to fend for himself!"
Xu Qingliu said helplessly.
In fact, this is only one possibility.
Lao Zhou's phone number and address, in fact, Lao Zhou's phone number was provided by Dong Laosan, maybe he took the initiative to give Lao Zhou's phone number and address to them because Xu Qingliu and Shang Muli were more kind.
Of course, there is also a saying that he will make amends in person, otherwise, once Xu Qingliu makes this matter bigger, I am afraid that Lao Zhou will not want to continue to mix in the antique circle in Kyoto for the rest of his life.
"I don't think Lao Zhou is that kind of person, otherwise, I wouldn't have left the flea market in a sad and angry situation. I think we have to be forgiving and forgiving!"
Shang Muli seemed to be touched by something, and said a little unbearably.
Xu Qingliu thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, there is still some time, let's go to his house to have a look." ”
Xu Qingliu looked at the address above, and took Shang Muli to find Lao Zhou's house according to the address above.
Lao Zhou's family lived in a small low-rise bungalow, with only two other rooms.
Inside is a kang that can be used to live and a place to live, and outside is a place for living and cooking.
The whole house is not big, and the yard is full of treasures he picked up from outside, but most of them are some worthless small objects, which add up to a few thousand yuan.
Seeing that Lao Zhou was decocting medicine in the house, they smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine soup before they reached the door of the hut, and they were very choked.
There was also a middle-aged woman lying in the room, lying on the kang with a sallow face and a sick face, with a sad face.
Lao Zhou was holding the Chinese medicine soup and feeding it to the mouth of the middle-aged woman little by little, "Wife, you are really suffering with me, don't worry, as long as I make money, I will definitely take you to the doctor, no matter how much it costs, I am willing!"
As Lao Zhou spoke, tears fell from his eyes.
On the other side of the kang are four or five purple clay pots of almost the same style.
These purple clay pots were neatly placed on top of the kang, and they were covered with a red cloth, if it weren't for the fact that the red cloth was not covered today, revealing a large blank space, I am afraid Xu Qingliu would not have looked so carefully.
In fact, the workmanship of the purple clay pot is not bad, if it is really sold as an imitation, it can still be sold for three or four thousand yuan.
Of course, there are few purple clay pots on the market that are so antique, if it is just an ordinary purple sand pot, it will probably cost about 2,000.
If this purple clay pot is really bought for 1,200 yuan, it is also profitable to sell it for more than 2,000 yuan, I am afraid that some people are greedy and not enough to swallow elephants.
"Old Zhou, are you in there?"
Shang Muli followed Xu Qingliu to the door of the house, and immediately shouted into the house.
Lao Zhou responded, put down the decoction and hurriedly ran out to take a look, what he didn't expect was that it was Xu Qingliu and Shang Muli, who had just met in the flea market, who came to see him.
It's just that he didn't have a very good impression of these two!
Lao Zhou smiled embarrassedly and couldn't help but say: "Two, what happened in the flea market today is really sorry, and fortunately the two of you didn't make a big deal about it, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have the face to mix in the flea market in the future." ”
In fact, today's events are not big, but fortunately, Lao Zhou stopped the loss in time, and Xu Qingliu did not publicize it excessively, so he barely saved face, but some stains were inevitably left.
Xu Qingliu smiled and said, "It's nothing, these things are not what everyone wants to see." I'm here to find you out about these fake antiques. ”
Lao Zhou looked at the purple clay pots in the room, and rushed in to take them out and smash them, but was stopped by Xu Qingliu.
Lao Zhou squatted on the ground in pain, grabbed his hair with both hands, and almost cried out in pain, "Alas, this gentleman, I am also a ghost, since I sell such a cheap purple clay pot as genuine, fortunately this gentleman did not expose me, otherwise, how will I behave in the future!"
Xu Qingliu didn't pay too much attention to today's affairs, but smiled and said, "Actually, if you sell these purple clay pots as imitations, they can also be sold for some price." In this way, I will pay for the postage, you will pay two thousand yuan each, and I will collect all your purple clay pots, which can also allow you to alleviate some losses, but you will not be able to do such stupid things in the future. ”
"Otherwise, if you encounter something more serious, you will be taken directly to court. If the amount of money involved is high, it is not impossible to send you directly to prison. ”
Xu Qingliu said without threat.
Lao Zhou nodded hurriedly, and almost slapped his two big mouths, "Don't worry, I won't do this kind of immoral thing again." I wonder why you two are here?"
Lao Zhou is not a fool yet, so he naturally knows that Xu Qingliu didn't come to him simply to help him.
Xu Qingliu smiled and said, "I also came here to inquire about those people who make fake antiques, can you tell me more about it." ”
Lao Zhou nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Then the two of you will please sit in the room." ”
