Chapter 99: Black Market Treasure Hunt
"Brother Du, it seems that there is no result tonight, otherwise, let's go shopping in this black market, I'm quite curious." ”
Seeing that the time was still early, Su Chen smiled and suggested to Du Chenghai.
Du Chenghai's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "This relationship is good, I don't hide it, I still think that Brother Su, you can help Brother Su palm your eyes tonight." ”
Su Chen didn't know Du Chenghai's thoughts.
However, he has a very good impression of Du Chenghai, although he is doing gray industry, he is quite bold, and he does not hide his work, which is much better than those smiling tigers. Besides, he was able to come to this black market today, even if he had his own purpose, but Su Chen was still very grateful.
"Let's go, Brother Su, let's go to the first floor. ”
After reaching the first floor, a group of people slowly observed in front of the various stalls.
Lin Wanqing had been following Su Chen's side closely, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice at this time: "Su Chen, why don't we look at it on the second floor, I feel that it is more reliable above." ”
Feeling Lin Wanqing's doubts, Su Chen explained with a chuckle: "Although the shops on the second floor are indeed a little more reliable, the items inside are clearly priced, and there are few leaks to pick up. It's like our own antique shop, do you think anyone will go to the antique shop to pick up the leak?"
"Oh, I see. You want to take advantage. Lin Wanqing suddenly realized.
Su Chen smiled when he heard this.
In the antique industry, who doesn't want to pick up leaks, not only for the sake of profit, but also for the feeling of envy and praise of the people around after picking up the leaks, which makes many people want to stop, and when chatting with insiders in the future, it is also a kind of bragging capital.
Just when Su Chen's thoughts were a little deserted, Du Chenghai, who was walking in the front, heard a little excited.
"Brother Su, how do you look at this thing?"
Su Chen came back to his senses and looked at it, Du Chenghai was squatting in front of a very simple stall, holding a dirty porcelain bowl in his hand, and the edge of the bowl was slightly damaged.
"Daming Chengde, it looks good, like an old thing. Du Chenghai looked at Su Chen and said again.
It seems that Du Chenghai has a special preference for porcelain. Such a thought flashed through Su Chen's mind.
Because he remembered the first time he met Du Chenghai, this guy also took a fancy to a piece of porcelain, and he was almost slaughtered, if it wasn't for Du Chenghai who saved his life, he wouldn't necessarily speak for him.
"Brother Du, forget about this, let's look at something else. ”
Su Chen didn't directly explain that this thing was fake, but tactfully mentioned it.
The stall owner was a young man who was not very old, and when he heard Su Chen say this, he raised his head and glanced at him in some surprise, just in time to meet Su Chen's gaze, and couldn't help but nod gratefully at him.
This is to thank Su Chen for not directly picking out him as a fake.
Su Chen also returned a kind smile, and then left the booth with Du Chenghai, who was a little disappointed.
The black market has the rules of the black market, and it is very normal to have fakes, if Su Chen really picks it out directly, it will naturally be nothing, because this is his ability, but this will undoubtedly damage the interests of this stall owner.
It's all for life, and Su Chen doesn't need to say it.
Next, Du Chenghai looked at a few objects one after another, and excitedly let Su Chen palm his eyes, but what made Su Chen a little depressed was that they were all fakes!
With this eyesight, this is no one. No wonder I was slaughtered last time.
In the end, Du Chenghai became a little irritable, and said directly to Su Chen: "Brother Su, my brother's vision is at this level, so you should help me choose." ”
Su Chen also felt that if Du Chenghai really chose it like this, it was estimated that he would not be able to choose a good object when the black market closed, so he nodded: "Okay, I see that my brother likes porcelain, just right, I see that there are a lot of stalls in front of me, let's go up and have a look." ”
In fact, along the way just now, he also saw several old gadgets, but the quality was not very good, at most it was worth 10,000 yuan, and there was no need to start at all.
Everyone followed Su Chen's instructions and looked forward, and saw that there was a stall in front of them, where a lot of porcelain was indeed placed, and there were two customers on the stall, who seemed to be discussing the price.
When they got closer, everyone's eyes straightened slightly.
The two customers in front of the stall, one is an old man with gray hair, wearing a brown Tang costume, in very good spirits, full of red light, especially eye-catching, is the natural exudation of a trace of nobility, obviously the identity of this old man is not ordinary.
But what really made everyone's eyes look straight was a young woman who was supporting him beside the old man, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, with simple and graceful braids, and a delicate face with a little powder, which overshadowed the antiques around him, and when he got closer, there was a very faint fragrance coming.
"Look, my eyes are falling. Lin Wanqing, who was standing beside Su Chen, noticed that Su Chen's gaze had been on which woman for more than two seconds, and immediately snorted lightly.
Su Chen heard the coquettishness in Lin Wanqing's tone, and he was still puzzled in his heart, but then he reacted, it turned out that this girl thought she was looking at that beauty.
Secretly a little funny, he didn't look at that beautiful woman.
However, he didn't explain, but quickly looked away, and there was not the slightest emotion in his eyes.
The delicate woman saw that so many people came at once, and Du Chenghai and his little brothers, all of them had a sinister look, and they were not serious people at first glance, which made her frown a little.
"Old man, you've been watching it for a long time, do you want to buy it?"
The owner of this stall is not very old, he looks to be in his thirties, but his eyes are very flexible, and he speaks with the air of old fritters, obviously he has been in this black market for a long time.
The old man was holding a black clay pot in his hand, the size of a palm, covered with ashes, which looked dirty and very ugly.
"Hehe, you don't allow me to take a look at it. The old man didn't seem to be able to see the thing in his hand, and his fingers twisted on the surface of the can for a long time, but the ash could not be removed.
The stall owner on the side shook his head when he saw this, and he didn't pay attention to him, but turned his head to look at Du Chenghai and the others, and said with a smile: "Master Hai, do you value these?
This guy is not a teenager here, so he naturally knows this bigwig-level figure in Jinnan City.
Du Chenghai nodded, but he didn't look at it himself, but looked at Su Chen, with a smile on his face: "Brother Su, you are a master, look here, is there anything that can catch your eye?"
Seeing that Du Chenghai actually asked for the opinion of such a young man, whether it was the stall owner or the old woman on the side, they all looked at Su Chen with some surprise, as if they didn't see that this ordinary young man would be a master of antiques.
The old man didn't even care about the black jar in his hand, and kept his eyes on Su Chen's body.
Su Chen didn't care about other people's eyes, and after slowly squatting down, he began to check the objects on the stall.
Although he didn't believe that Su Chen would be a master, the stall owner still said with a smile: "This little brother, I collected all the things here from the countryside, and they are all good goods." ”
Hearing this guy say this, Su Chen felt a little funny in his heart, and he didn't believe his nonsense at all.
If it's really a good product from the countryside, it's better to sell it directly to an antique store, or to set up a stall in an antique street, where you need to come to a semi-black place like the black market.
Not to mention everything, the origin of most of the goods is worth playing.
However, the black market has the rules of the black market, and it does not ask where the goods come from. As long as you don't get approached by the real owner, no one will care even if you steal it.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that the antiques sold on the black market are much cheaper than those in regular places, so many people will come here to shop for treasures.
It can be said that it is this cheapness that has led to the prosperity of this type of black market.
"Your stuff here is very ordinary. Fiddling with the things on the stall for a while, Su Chen said with a little disappointment, and picked up a small porcelain bottle similar to the ancient medicine bottle.
This small porcelain vase has a white base, blue flowers, and a somewhat dull glaze, which looks like a low-quality fake with a very low level of imitation.
"Just look at this, how much does it cost?" Placing it in the palm of his hand at random, Su Chen said lightly.
The stall owner's eyes fell on the small porcelain vase, his eyes rolled, and he said enthusiastically: "Little brother has good eyesight, but I spent a lot of money to buy this thing, authentic blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, this ......" counted, he stretched out a palm: "Five thousand yuan." ”
Hearing this price, Su Chen didn't say a word, and directly put down the small porcelain vase, without looking at it for a second time.
Seeing Su Chen so simply, the stall owner was stunned for a while, and secretly said that this guy looks young, but he is not easy to fool.
Unconsciously looked at Du Chenghai who was standing there, the stall owner shrank his neck, and immediately spoke again: "Wait, little brother, I see that I have a fate with you, four thousand yuan, how about it?"
Hearing this, Su Chen smiled: "Two thousand! I can pay directly, if not, then I'll go to another house to have a look." ”
"Okay, two thousand is two thousand. The stall owner only thought for a second, and immediately agreed.
And seeing that he agreed so quickly, everyone present didn't know that this was a loss.
The old man who had been standing on the side and watching with interest also shook his head when he saw this, he had seen the small porcelain vase, the glaze was dull, and the feel was not good, it was obviously a fake, and it was not worth the price of two thousand at all.
However, he also knew the rules of the black market, and he didn't think to remind him.
After negotiating the price, Su Chen directly put the small porcelain bottle in Du Chenghai's hand: "Brother Du, pay!"
Looking at the objects in his hand, Du Chenghai was stunned, although his level of antique appreciation is indeed very scummy, but some basic ones are still specially understood, and the small porcelain vase in front of him ......
After some hesitation, he looked at Su Chen's face, and he was looking at himself with a smile on his face, his heart suddenly trembled, remembering the scene in that antique shop that day, and immediately said, "Okay, Shanzi, pay." ”
A strong man behind Du Chenghai immediately took out 1,400 yuan and handed it to the stall owner.
After seeing that the money and goods were cleared, Su Chen smiled and said: "Congratulations Brother Du, your Ming Dynasty Yongxuan blue and white folded branch Ruiguo vial, although it is a little smaller, it is very collectible." ”
"Hmm, young man, you said this is Yongxuan blue and white porcelain?"
When the old man next to him heard Su Chen's words, he was shocked, and directly put the clay pot in his hand back to the stall, looking straight at the small bottle in Du Chenghai's hand, and then at Su Chen, with an inquiring look.
Su Chen glanced at the old man and nodded, which was considered to be an answer to his question.
