At half past two in the morning, Qiao Zhi and Tang Qi made an appointment to meet in Panjiayuan.

Mei Ling also followed, Tang Qi brought a girl, baby face, looked like a high school student, dressed in a very tasteful manner, and looked a little similar to Tang Qi.

Tang Qi introduced to the two: "This is my niece Tang Shuangshuang, don't look at her as a college student, she has studied antique calligraphy and painting very deeply since she was a child, and her eyesight is good. ”

Tang Shuangshuang stretched out his jade palms, and Qiao Zhi took the initiative to say: "Gang Master Qiao, I have admired the name for a long time, I heard my fourth uncle say that you are a master of antiques, why don't I believe it." ”

Qiao Zhi and Tang's soft palms touched lightly, then retracted, and said with a smile: "That's Brother Tang lifting me." I have any research on antiques, and today I am following him to see the famous Pan Jiayuan. ”

Located in the southeast corner of the Third Ring Road, Panjiayuan thrift market is the largest thrift market in the country, open four days a week from Thursday to Sunday, selling a variety of cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, four treasures of the study, porcelain and wood furniture, etc., with a total of more than 3,000 stalls.

In the eyes of many people, it is like a museum, attracting a large number of domestic and foreign tourists.

Tang Qi was worried that Qiao Zhi and Mei Ling were not familiar with Pan Jiayuan, and introduced: "The most famous antique market in Yanjing is nothing more than Dashilar, Liulichang and Pan Jiayuan.

There are many time-honored brands in Dashilar, such as Liubiju Sauce Garden, which opened in the Ming Dynasty, Tongrentang, a famous Chinese pharmacy that opened during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Ma Juyuan hat shop, Neiliansheng shoe store that opened in the Jiaqing period, and one of the eight auspicious ones that later had four facades - Ruifuxiang Silk and Satin Leather Zhuang.

Liulichang was a book market at the earliest, mainly calligraphy and painting books, such as Huaiyin Mountain House, Guyi Zhai, Ruicheng Zhai, Cuiwen Pavilion, Yide Pavilion, Li Fushou Bizhuang, Rong Bao Zhai and other century-old shops will gather there.

These are said to be antique markets, but in fact they are similar to places of interest, and it is okay to take a look at the flowers, but if you want to go there for a day, it is very boring and boring.

Panjiayuan is different from other places, do you know where it is different?"

Tang Qi deliberately tested himself, Qiao Zhi smiled slightly, "Pan Jiayuan was once called a ghost market. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, when the national fortunes declined, many dignitaries and dignitaries fell into the middle of the road, so they stole the antiques at home and came to Panjiayuan to sell.

For those high-ranking officials and nobles, it was humiliating to sell their belongings, so they traded with lanterns at three or four o'clock in the morning. In addition, there are also some people who trade unknown objects on the ghost market, and many good things are sold at low and cheap prices, and they gradually become famous.

Today, Panjiayuan still retains this tradition, opening at 4 a.m. every day. ”

Tang Shuang on the side raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Zhi seriously, "Your knowledge reserve is good!"

Qiao Zhi smiled: "What is this, there is a problem, find Du Niang." ”

Tang Shuangshuang sneered, "You're quite humorous. ”

Panjiayuan was named after the ghost market, and the rumor that the ghost market was good spread like this.

The human heart is like this, although it is afraid of "ghosts", but it is also full of curiosity.

In particular, there are constant rumors of news that someone has leaked in the ghost market and become rich overnight, and countless people have come to Panjiayuan Taobao.

In any industry, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway.

If you just walk around Panjiayuan like visiting places of interest, you can't find the real way at all.

Tang Qi smiled: "What I took you to see today is the legendary Panjiayuan Ghost Market. On the surface, Panjiayuan is a regular thrift market, white skin, black skin, can be seen everywhere, many shops settle in, everyone buys and sells goods, there is no need to hide, hide people's eyes and ears, but in fact, the ghost market still exists. In fact, there is an invisible world, where some people organize ghost markets and sell some valuable things through private gatherings. These things have high imitations, and there are also things from unknown sources, depending on the buyer's eyesight. ”

Qiao Zhi bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "It's a little exciting!"

Qiao Zhi followed Tang Qi and passed through many stalls, each of which had dozens or hundreds of objects, porcelain, bronze, pottery, iron, wood, including the four treasures of the study, jewelry, everything.

Tang Qi observed Qiao Zhi carefully, and saw that he only glanced at anything, and secretly wondered that Qiao Zhi was really stable enough.

The stalls here are all marketing masters, mainly if you look at something more, you will definitely be pulled by the stall owner, and you may enter the set in three or two clicks, and you will be fooled into buying a worthless thing.

Qiao Zhi couldn't help laughing when he saw several tall white beauties, wearing Chinese cheongsam, standing beside a tall black man to solicit business, the creativity of these merchants was really convincing.

Qiao Zhi originally just planned to visit and travel, so his mind was relatively peaceful.

Mei Ling couldn't resist the temptation, and it was very interesting to see a set of painted pottery dolls.

"I think this set of dolls looks familiar. ”

The boss's age is around fifty years old, and he said with a smile: "Girl, your eyes are very good, this is a thing of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Mei Ling looked at it in her hand for a while, and said with a smile: "Boss, don't fool me, how can this be a thing of the Qing Dynasty, at most it is a modern handicraft, you set a price, if it is suitable, I will buy it." ”

The boss frowned, "Girl, it's really something from the Qing Dynasty, and I won't hide it from you, it's a friend who deposited it with me." He is addicted to gambling, and in order to repay the money, he pressed the baby to me. I'll give you a low price of 50,000 yuan directly, and you will take the things. ”

"Fifty thousand?" Mei Ling frowned, the price shouted a little too high.

Seeing that Mei Ling got up to leave, the boss hurriedly called out to Mei Ling, with a smile on his face, "My friend is really difficult, otherwise, you give me a price, if it is suitable, I will sell it to you." ”

Mei Ling frowned and muttered, "This thing is worth five or six hundred at most! You shout fifty thousand, aren't you a pit person?"

The boss remained silent, "Girl, I have been setting up a stall here for more than ten years, and I have always been a child. My friend is really short of money, and you like this thing too, 10,000, so I'll wrap it up for you, and I won't be verbose. ”

Seeing that the boss was relieved, Mei Ling realized that the price of this thing was very watery, and glanced at Tang Qi and Tang Shuangshuang, both of them smiled, and then tentatively glanced at Qiao Zhi, "How much do you think is appropriate?"

Qiao Zhi didn't actually plan to interfere, but Mei Ling took the initiative to ask himself, and he couldn't sit idly by, "Do you really like it?"

"Of course, you don't like what I'm doing when I ask for the price?" Mei Ling glanced at the boss, "But I'm not stupid, let me be the big one, I don't follow." Qiao Zhi said: "Boss, my friend really likes it, you don't have to raise the price too high, give each other a reasonable price, how about it?"

"Four hundred!" "Nine thousand!"

"Five hundred!" "Six thousand!"

"Six hundred!" "Three thousand!"

"Nine hundred" "One thousand!"

"Okay, deal! But this box is going to be given to us!"

Qiao Zhi bargained with the boss and finally bought it for a thousand yuan.

1,000 yuan, much lower than Mei Ling's expected price, so Mei Ling successfully got this painted pottery doll, and the mood was still very good.

When they were far away from the stall, Mei Ling asked Tang Qi and Tang Shuangshuang, "Why didn't you speak just now, how is my eyesight?"

Tang Qi smiled faintly, "Shuangshuang, you evaluate it!"

Tang Shuangshuang glanced at Qiao Zhi, originally thought that he really had ink in his stomach, but he didn't expect that he was a theoretical emperor, and when he really arrived on the battlefield, he wouldn't be able to do it, "Actually, this painted pottery is a modern handicraft, old, and the actual value is less than a hundred." ”

Mei Ling frowned: "You can all see it, why didn't you stop me and Qiao Zhi?"

Tang Qi laughed: "When a newcomer comes to Panjiayuan to buy goods, she must pay for the first order, this is the rule." Only when you know that it hurts, you will be cautious in the future. What's more, it's only 1,000 yuan, and it's worth it to buy a lesson! It's just that I'm curious, Qiao Zhi should be able to see the value of this painted pottery, why buy it at such a high price!"

Tang Shuangshuang sneered strangely beside him, "Some people just like to talk like a river, and when it comes to actual combat, they are a younger brother." Don't brag in the future, be careful to blow the cowhide. ”

Qiao Zhi took the set of painted pottery dolls from Ling's hands, "In fact, Sister Mei's set of dolls is very profitable, first of all, this set of dolls is a high imitation, during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a set of official kiln painted pottery dolls, which were fired by the famous craftsman Xu Bohui, and only made three sets, two of which were on the Gonggong Palace, and one set was in the people. Three sets of painted pottery appeared in Britain during the Qing Dynasty, and this set of high imitations was made with reference to that set.

In terms of the firing process, it is according to the ancient firing recipe process, and if it is not a scarce item, it is difficult to distinguish it as a fake. ”

Tang Shuangshuang bowed slightly, to see whether a person understands antiques, the key is to see whether he can trace the traces of history.

A lot of porcelain is linked to allusions, and the value will soar.

Since Qiao Zhi saw that this painted pottery was a high imitation, and even knew the source, why did he buy it at such a high price?

"Look at this box of painted pottery!" Qiao Zhi handed the gift box to Tang Qi from Mei Ling's hand.

Tang Qi remembered a detail, Qiao Zhi and the boss specially emphasized this box!

Could it be that there is something mysterious about the box?

Tang Qi took the box in his hand, his hand was very heavy, and he touched it carefully, "Golden Silk Nanmu?"

"Wouldn't it, so fake?" Tang Shuangshuang took the box from Tang Qi's hand and studied it carefully.

Tang Qi and Tang Shuangshuang's attention had been on the faience dolls before, so he didn't expect this box to be different.

Qiao Zhi smiled: "Judging from the carving process of the box, although this box is a modern handicraft, the material is genuine, and the carpentry work is very fine, according to the current market price, the box can be worth at least five or six thousand!"
