And as far as Zheng Zheng saw the owner of the shopfront of the flea market in Rome...... To put it in the previous analogy, these bosses are the ones who open the fish ponds: it doesn't matter what fish you want to catch, there are all of them here anyway. It's just that whether this fish is good or bad depends on everyone's luck......

After turning around a few small shops that were basically full of fakes, Zheng Zheng and Bai Xiaoxue moved to another store. Zheng Zheng has been thinking about finding a store with a relatively high gold content, at least it can't be a fake-hit area. It is only in the mouth of the owner of such a store with relatively high gold content that Zheng Zheng may know some news about the big collector. Even if he heard something from the owners of those shops full of fakes, Zheng Zheng would not be convinced.

The shop is almost a "fish pond", with wood carvings, stone carvings, silverware, painting manuscripts, and even swords and muskets...... The scope involved is very complex. As for the quality of antiques, judging from Zheng Zheng's level, most of the things in this store are still genuine.

It is impossible to make the storefront of this flea market completely free of fakes. Zheng Zheng took a few glances in this store and was quite satisfied with the situation in this store. Although the things in this store are not rare, most of them are some big road goods, but compared to the previous stores, this is quite difficult, and it is not a hard-hit area where fake antiques are rampant.

"Hello, my friend, what can I do for you?"

Seeing Zheng Zheng looking at the store with interest, the middle-aged boss on the side came over and asked Zheng Zheng in English with little Italian accent.

Zheng Zheng nodded, and replied in English that had been made up for the evil, and was already relatively smooth: "Yes, I want to buy some works of art with historical value, do you have anything you can recommend for me?"

"Oh......" The middle-aged boss nodded and asked a rather professional question: "I don't know if you want to use it as a gift to others, or collect it yourself?"

Antiques that you buy as gifts and antiques that you collect because of your hobby are two different concepts. Since it is bought for collection, no matter what the historical significance of the antique, no matter what the rarity, the first point must be that the condition is good enough, complete enough, and there can be no missing edges, otherwise how to send it out? It doesn't mean anything special, but if you give a particularly quiet girl an ancient Roman dagger that is likely to have killed a lot of people...... Isn't this brain pumping?

As for your own collection, then there are no such problems. As long as it's on the right road, the quality of the antique is not a big problem. Antique dealers like Zheng Zheng pay more attention to the quality of antiques, after all, this involves the interests of changing hands in the future. And those collectors who collect a certain kind of antique because of true love, although they have requirements for the quality of antiques, but basically it is a casual attitude: it is naturally best to have good condition, but it doesn't hurt that the condition is almost there, and they are not ready to sell it for money anyway.

Although the antiques at home and abroad are different, and the customs and customs are also very different, there are no borders in these two points. The shopkeeper was able to ask such a professional question with a sharp point, which immediately made Zheng Zheng's impression of him a lot higher.

"It's just a hobby. Zheng Zheng responded.

Zheng Zheng has done a lot of this kind of thing. Although this statement is a bit ugly, sometimes if you want to get the information you want, you can only achieve it through more roundabout means. If Zheng Zheng came up, he would directly say, "The antiques in your store are good, and Lao Tzu is quite satisfied." Seeing that you seem to be a businessman, I want to ask if you know if you know a great collector in the city of Rome?", then this basically blocks the conversation, and the things that could have been asked cannot be asked.

So even if Zheng Zheng didn't have the slightest intention of buying these artworks, he used this as a topic and talked with the boss. To be honest, although Zheng Zheng didn't mean to buy the artworks in this store, at a glance, there were really a few pieces that made Zheng Zheng a little interested. If the price is right, Zheng Zheng will really buy it.

Zheng Zheng was talking to the boss here, and Bai Xiaoxue was bored on the side, so she watched it in the store by herself. Although she had always been in contact with antiques when she was in China before, she had never been in contact with antiques abroad, and when she saw it, she felt very novel.

After looking at several antiques, Bai Xiaoxue suddenly saw an antique, which was ninety percent similar to a certain antique she had seen. She was afraid that she had seen it wrong, so she tried to recall the appearance of the object in her mind, and then carefully looked at the antique in front of her. She didn't have a very detailed impression of that object, so she didn't dare to say whether her memory was accurate or not.

Bai Xiaoxue looked more and more like it, and she didn't have an idea in her heart, so she turned her head and called Zheng Zheng on the side: "Zheng Zheng, you come to see this ......"

Zheng Zheng was chatting with the shopkeeper, and when he heard Bai Xiaoxue greet him, he said "sorry" to the shopkeeper and turned around and walked over. He also thought that Bai Xiaoxue had seen something new, but he didn't know what it was, so he asked him to explain it to her, so he walked over and said with a smile: "What interesting things have you seen again?" ”

Bai Xiaoxue shook her head, pointed to an antique beside her, and said to Zheng Zheng, "No...... Look at this antique, is it very similar to your ashtray? I don't remember exactly, you can take a look. ”

Hearing Bai Xiaoxue say this, Zheng Zheng immediately mentioned it in his heart, and his eyes looked in the direction Bai Xiaoxue pointed out. When he saw the antique that Bai Xiaoxue was pointing to, Zheng Zheng's eyebrows couldn't help jumping a few times, and then he walked quickly to the antique and looked at it carefully.

Zheng Zheng's bronze balance looks like an ornament, not something of value. But when Zheng Zheng uses the bronze balance, he always has to touch the bronze scale, and sometimes if necessary, Zheng Zheng has to carry the bronze balance with him. So in order to make his movements and behaviors look normal, Zheng Zheng used the bronze balance as an ashtray in front of others, and flicked the ash into it casually, even in front of Bai Xiaoxue. In this way, even if the bronze balance is taken out, Zheng Zheng can tell people that this is a portable ashtray that he brought, which will not attract much attention from others, at most, he ponders that Zheng Zheng's "portable" ashtray is inevitably too inconvenient. It's just a pity that the bronze balance is a good bronze treasure, a priceless treasure, but because Zheng Zheng wants to protect this secret, he is helplessly reduced to an ashtray.

The ashtray that Bai Xiaoxue said was referring to the bronze balance.

And the antique she pointed to turned out to be a bronze balance!

From the point of view of appearance, this bronze balance is no different from the bronze balance owned by Zheng Zheng in terms of statue, size, material or color. If Zheng Zheng's bronze balance is also taken and put together with this bronze scale, I am afraid that even Zheng Zheng will not be able to distinguish the two bronze balances without touching the bronze scale.

"Look, does this antique look like that ashtray of yours?"

Zheng Zheng was trying to find the difference between this bronze balance and his own bronze scale, but he heard Bai Xiaoxue on the side ask. He barely suppressed the waves in his heart and smiled: "Yes, it is indeed very similar to my ashtray, it is almost like it was carved out of the same mold." ”

The appearance of Bai Yin, who was completely similar before, let Zheng Zheng know the fact that these treasures were not a single piece. Although that silver Sinan did not show any special ability, Zheng Zheng believed that it was just a matter of his own way, as long as he found the right way, he would definitely be able to open the true ability of this silver Sinan. Otherwise, why did that group of people spend so much effort to find this silver Sinan?

And now, here another bronze balance has appeared.

Zheng Zheng, who owned a bronze balance, immediately thought that this bronze balance was also a bronze treasure after seeing this bronze balance, but he didn't know if this function was the same as his own bronze balance.

He replied to Bai Xiaoxue with a calm face, but secretly said in his heart: "It's really fucking that it takes no effort to step on iron shoes and find nowhere to get them...... Originally, I was still thinking that if I could have another bronze antique, I would be able to verify the possibilities I had in mind before, but I never found this kind of rare treasure. I didn't expect to come across the ocean to Rome, and I met ...... here."

To say that he is not excited is fake, how can Zheng Zheng not be excited when such a treasure is placed here? Every cell in his body is now cheering, and the whole person is almost jumping up with excitement. But Zheng Zheng couldn't show these excitement, not only in front of the shopkeeper, but also in front of Bai Xiaoxue. It was light to be excited by the shopkeeper to find out about his excitement and take the opportunity to raise the price, but if Bai Xiaoxue found out that something was wrong, it would be a bit troublesome. So Zheng Zheng could only try his best to suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart, and keep his face flat, not to mention how sad it felt......

"Isn't that godly? I didn't expect to see an antique like your ashtray here. Where did Bai Xiaoxue know what Zheng Zheng was thinking, she said to Zheng Zheng with a happy face: "Otherwise, you can buy it back, this is also fate." ”

Zheng Zheng didn't believe much in fate, but now he really believes in it. He secretly said in his heart: "Yes, it's not fate? Otherwise, I can meet this baby in Rome? Fate is really indescribable sometimes......

The shopkeeper on the side saw that the two of them were talking and laughing around this antique, so he also walked over and said to Zheng Zheng with a smile: "This lady's vision is really good, this is a very good handicraft." If you don't have to collect ancient art, then this craft also has some collectible value. ”
