When they met in Pingshui, the old man didn't ask Yu Yao's name, and Yu Yao wouldn't take the initiative to ask him. However, in the process of returning, the old man introduced himself, "My surname is Du, I used to be a criminal policeman, and my biggest hobby in this life is antiques. ”

Yu Yao smiled, "No wonder you have a good eye for details. My surname is Yu, and Mr. Du calls me Xiaoyu. ”

In fact, when the flat-headed man in plainclothes who led the team shouted "old leader" to the old man, Yu Yao could guess a few points.

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

The three of them came to the stall again.

The stall owner is a very white middle-aged man, with a good memory, he recognized Yu Yao at a glance, and when he saw him go and return, he thought he wanted to take the Jiajing blue and white bowl, and immediately smiled: "I'll just say that you have eyesight, authentic to Ming things." ”

"Well, but the green material used in the kiln is not exquisite, it is not a pure green material, the hair color is a little stuffy, and the painting is not good. Yu Yao saw that the stall owner picked up the blue and white bowl again, and simply said directly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like it. The stall owner was slightly embarrassed and stretched out his finger to the stall, "There are so many other things." ”

"I don't think the goods on your stall are crooked, but what you put out is Lao Pu, which doesn't mean much!" Yu Yao said.

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

"It's pretty much the same in the box, but it can't be opened. The stall owner lowered his head and lit a cigarette, seemingly not wanting to open the box.

Yu Yao couldn't help but look at the old man, because Yu Yao didn't want to continue asking. If you don't do business, either you have a buyer and just wait for that person, or you think that these buyers are not in the right direction.

Antiques are different from others, and it is also important to pick a buyer, especially if there are some good things or sensitive things.

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

The stall owner's face was slightly nervous, "It's not good to talk nonsense, bronzes are not allowed to be sold!"

When Yu Yao heard this, he understood, the things were special, the stall owner just didn't want to sell strangers, and there was no predetermined buyer, so he couldn't help but smile, "Who said that bronzes are not allowed to be sold? Bronze handicrafts are not allowed to be sold? ”

"I'm not old, but the way is quite clear. The stall owner looked at Yu Yao and the old man, "Are you together?

Yu Yao hurriedly waved his hand, "It's all players, don't give you a hat." ”

The old man didn't care, "Okay, that's all there to say, can you watch it? If you can't see it, we won't bother." ”

The stall owner thought for a while, "Okay, business is not good now, it hasn't opened in the morning, let's come in and take a look!"

When he said "come in and see," he meant to go behind the stall, and there was a small open space behind him against the wall.

The three of them passed, and this place was quite crowded, but it was just enough to block the view of the people in front of the stall.

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

This bronze goose is more than a foot tall, with a flared mouth, a thin waist, and a tall foot, with a cloud and thunder pattern on its body, and raised ridges on its belly and feet.

The raised ridges on the body of the vessel are called "halberds" in professional terms, and the porcelain of the halberd flowers that appeared in the Ming Dynasty imitate the shape of ancient bronzes.

"What are you afraid of such a familiar pit?" the old man couldn't help but say when he saw this halberd, and at the same time picked it up and looked at it.

The words "cooked pit" and "raw pit" in antiques are now used on many utensils, and the earliest ones are actually from bronze. Bronze, to the Xia, Shang and Zhou three generations as respect, almost no do not enter the soil, so just dug out is called "raw pit", dug out for a long time has been raised, it is called "familiar pit". Of course, ripe pits also include the rare ones that have never been in the ground.

The bronze goose taken out by the stall owner has a deep blue-black appearance, the edges and corners and skin are very smooth, and some patterns are even blurred, which looks like the effect of being unearthed for hundreds of years. That's why the old man said so.

The stall owner smiled, "I'm not a cowardly, unfamiliar buyer, I don't know his eyesight, I don't know his temperament, what if he thinks it's an unearthed artifact, and then report me?"

At this time, the old man looked at the bronze goose, but he seemed to be deeply attracted.

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

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

"Old man, I haven't finished yet. In addition to the unfamiliar buyers are not easy to deal with, this price, ordinary people are not willing to buy from the stall. The stall owner paused.

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

"You're happy, I'm happy, at least thirty!" said the stall owner in a low voice.

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

Yu Yao waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to get started.

This cloud and thunder pattern halberd bronze goose, is the shape of the early Western Zhou Dynasty; Yao, is not only a wine vessel, but also a ritual vessel; this goblet, if it is genuine, such a ripe pit, such a quality, if it is a big auction, it should be able to rush to one million.

It's not genuine, though.

But it's not a modern imitation either.

Seeing Yu Yao's expression, the old man asked, "You're not interested?"

"Well, like that Ming Dynasty blue and white bowl, I don't think it makes much sense. Yu Yao highlighted the word "Ming Dynasty".

When the stall owner heard this, he coughed twice, "This gentleman, you have to find such things boring, and there is nothing to do in this stall area." ”

Yu Yao smiled, and didn't argue with him, but got up, "I'll take a look at the things in front of the stall." ”

After listening to the words "Ming Dynasty" that Yu Yao emphatically spit out in his mouth, the old man couldn't help but carefully examine the bronze goblet again, but after looking at it for a while, there was still hesitation in his eyes.

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

The imitations of the Ming Dynasty have been handed down to this day, and the effect of ripe pits naturally appeared.

In the end, the old man still let go, but when he left, he didn't say anything to death, and said that he would think about it first.

After the three of them left the stall, the old man immediately asked Yu Yao, "Xiao Yu, listen to your hints, this bronze goose is an imitation of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Old man Du thinks doesn't he?"

"I have seen a lot of bronze ware from the last three generations in the Ming Dynasty, but how can it be of such a high standard? Especially the copper, I really can't find any flaws!" The old man frowned deeply and shook his head slightly.

"Hmm. Yu Yao nodded, "Old Man Du, the reason why this one is difficult to find flaws is because of a unique technology. ”
