Chapter 111: Picking Up the Big Leak
On May 3, the day after May Day, that is, the day Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya set off for their honeymoon, it happened to be a Sunday.
Therefore, before Yuntai's family was ready to leave Beijing and return to Longkou Village, Hong Yanwu was also fortunate to follow his uncle to see it in person. Experienced what it's like to be in this special trading environment.
The "dawn market" at four o'clock in the morning is a scene that people with normal work and rest habits can never imagine.
There were no lights around, and there were flashlight pillars everywhere. Under the chaotic light, the faces of the people are blurred, but the classification of the crowd is clear.
The seller neither shouts nor sells, and the coarse cloth spread on the ground is his own stall, and there is no interference or communication between the houses.
Buyers don't ask questions about where things came from, because they know that they don't have any practical meaning.
Almost all of them abide by a conventional rule, generally do not speak easily, first hold a flashlight to look at things, and never speak if they are not satisfied. And once you open your mouth, it is a game and confrontation that is difficult to say whether you will win or lose.
On this day, of course, Yuntai is still the old way, using the "running hammer" method of buying.
Probably he's been here more often. The seller already knew his special temperament, and as soon as he opened his mouth and the price was right, he would almost always sell it to him on the spot.
But for the same reason, in the "Xiao City" that he swept a few times, there were really not many things that could make him look at it again.
After shopping for a long time, I also pulled the general out of the house, and half-improvisedly bought a handful of Ruyi, an inkstone.
To be honest, Hong Yanwu must have no other complaints about this.
One is that he knows that as long as his uncle likes it, it is all ordinary people who can be used as heirlooms and the like. In addition, he also felt that being able to see this scene today was an eye-opener in itself, and it was not in vain.
But Yuntai himself is inevitably a little stupid, he thinks that he will not gain much today. I brought my nephew out so early, and I haven't bought anything yet, so I'm a little panicked.
And at this time, it seems that it is time for them to go lucky.
A stall that he had never seen before attracted Yuntai's attention, so much so that he hurriedly glanced at it, and his spirits were lifted, and he uncharacteristically changed his trading strategy and walked over and squatted down completely.
Then he held a flashlight in one hand, just like everyone else, and carefully looked through the things on the stall one by one.
Hong Yanwu immediately knew that something was wrong, and honestly stood aside and waited, without saying a word.
The seller was a middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth. The mouth is very poor, and when he sees that there is a seller, he tries his best to solicit it.
"Old man, you are always a connoisseur. You see, this is the official kiln fighting color in the Qianlong period. That's a good thing, isn't it?"
To say that this "business classic" is really out of place, it not only exposes this kid's frivolous temperament, but also reveals that he doesn't understand the rules of "Xiaoshi" so well, and he is undoubtedly a newcomer.
Yoon-tae laughed at the time. "Return the official kiln? ghost kiln. β
The seller didn't know what Yuntai was really laughing at, and he immediately stopped being angry. "Old man, do you understand? I don't know the goods......"
I knew at a glance that you had just arrived today. Isn't that right?"
It's like being held by the tail. "You...... You ......"
Yuntai said unhurriedly, "In the past ten days, I have been soaking here almost every day, and I have never met you if I don't buy ten or eight pieces." β
The seller's eyes lit up, not only relieved, but also showed a look of seeing money.
"Oh, you come every day? β
I didn't know that the sycophant didn't shoot right, Yun Tai shook his head.
"Hey, what's Fengya? I'll tell you the truth, just like you, I want to eat on this. But you're here to sell, I'm here to buy first, and I'm going to sell somewhere else. You're flowing, I'm coiled. If I'm not in a hurry to go back and open the store, I won't be able to stay here for a few days, so why should I get up so early every day at my age?"
Of course, this is false, but this time not only sells goods, but even Hong Yanwu is in good spirits. If nothing else, my uncle can lie for the first time, which shows that there is a lot of wonder in it.
"Ouch, I see. You want to take care of my business. Then you can get two from me. β
The words of selling goods caused Yoon-tae to laugh again. The old man looked at the thirty or so things on the stall, and deliberately teased him with a little embarrassment.
"I want to spend the money. Can...... You're ...... Look, you don't have any good stuff here, do you?"
"What are you talking about?" the seller took the initiative to sell, "You always look here, how about this blue and white plum vase, Chenghua official kiln." Can you afford it?"
But this agitation method is useless, and Yuntai is completely contemptuous.
"Pull it down, you can't fool me. You're still coming? You see that the birds on the dead branches are rolling their eyes to look at people, and the official kiln can be painted like this? And this kind of sparse painting method is obviously from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. If you make up a late Qing Dynasty, the success of bluffing is still bigger. I might as well tell you more, as far as the family you exchanged for things was a big family in the past, but it was too far away and it would have been defeated a long time ago. The really good things are either copied in the 'sport', or they have been pawned and sold for a long time, and the rest of them are not serious things......"
To be honest, Yuntai's words, Hong Yanwu actually can't tell the truth from the fake.
But the seller was surprised. Soon, the content of the bald mouth proved that Yuntai did not expect.
"Ouch. What do you know if you can pinch it? These goods really flowed out of an official eunuch's house, but their family is indeed defeated now, and even the house in Shichahai has been occupied by the family, and these are the last things under the bed. I thought it was something good. It seems that you are still profound, and I have learned a lot. That...... Then you don't have any of these things here?"
The last sentence sounds, and the seller is already a little weak and disappointed.
Fortunately, Yuntai smacked his mouth, but he didn't say anything to death.
"You're here. If you want to say that there are a few things that look okay, at least they can be stunned by the things next to them. It's like this bucket bowl, except that this bottom is wrong, it's really not too much of a problem. But the problem is, I took it and sold it in the shop, not with the black light here. I'm different from you, I can't make money fast in and out, so I just hope to wait for the rabbit. How can I sell things to others if they are not good......"
When I heard that there was still a door for the seller, I hurriedly persuaded him.
"Old man, there's really no need for you to this. These days, how many people really know as well as you do? I'm not afraid of your jokes, before I came here, I sold it elsewhere in broad daylight. The goods are much worse than what I have now, and they can still be sold. There are more fools than understanding. Even if there is someone who really understands, isn't it the same as you, he buys it and transfers it to others......"
This seller is also quite interesting, he thinks he understands it, but he is the most confused person.
Hong Yanwu already wanted to be happy when he saw this. Knowing that this kid has been put into a sack by his uncle, it's almost time to close it.
Sure enough, Yoon-tae spoke. "Ouch, that's a point. Okay, I'll ...... you Collect all these knick-knacks......"
Even if he was prepared, Hong Yanwu was somewhat unexpected.
The seller was even more dumbfounded, thinking that he had misheard. "This ...... You're going to pull all of this?"
The reason given by Yoon-tae sounds very good.
"What's the solution? I'm going to open soon, I'm going to have to get some rags to fill the faΓ§ade, and besides, I'm so old, I'm really tired after running for the past few days, and I can't stand it anymore. But you'll have to give me a real price, or we'll stop talking......"
The seller sounded reasonable, and he was happy. But he is really a "second knife", and he can't even handle it. I lowered my voice and opened my mouth to eight hundred.
Where is Yoon-tae doing? Get up and leave. "Then you can keep it to yourself. β
The seller hurriedly pulled. "Old man, you can pay back the money on the spot."
It's not a deal to catch up, so Yuntai doesn't seem to care.
"You are okay with these things, that is, on the surface. To put it bluntly, I'm going to get it back and swing it back. It's hard to say if it can be sold?"
The foreshadowing in front was really not in vain, and the seller nodded.
"Tell me a price. β
"You have to be sincere, three hundred at most. β
The seller hurried to complain.
"Oh, you add more, I can't buy more than that. β
But the routine was completely useless, and Yoon-tae knocked him a guy.
"Don't you make enough money? You go and ask others, I always buy things here at a fixed price. If you sell it, I'll buy it, and if you don't buy it, I'll leave. You have to wait for a windfall with the goods in your hand, and I don't have a problem. See you later......"
The seller was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but turn his head to look around, and when he saw the stall next to him, he didn't express any objections, and immediately made a decision.
"That's okay, according to you, fast in and out, isn't it, I'll earn less and earn less......"
"That's right. Together, you give it to me, we all have to find a leader. β
Yuntai stretched out his hand and handed over the money, and then signaled that Hong Yanwu could do it. "Third nephew, let's go around, this is all our stuff, wrap it up. I don't follow if it's broken. β
As a result, when Yuntai and Hong Yanwu were ready to leave, the stall next to them still greeted, "Old man, you stay one more step and take a look at me......"
Yoon-tae also had to add a performance. "Don't, don't, I've already bought silt today. I don't know if it's good to take it back......"
That's it, the kid who cleared the warehouse is so beautiful that he is happy to bloom, holding thirty sheets of unity in his hand, spitting and spitting and counting again, that's called a smug.
But in fact, who knows. Yuntai didn't even care about eating early, and insisted on going back to the Hong family's old house first. You can see how the harvest is.
Of course, Hong Yanwu was curious, and he was sure of picking up the "leak", but he didn't know how big this "leak" was. So when there was no one left, I couldn't wait to ask.
"Uncle, what good things have you seen today? How many are there? Are you so afraid of buying 'fried'? You have all wrapped up ...... of your brain."
Yoon-tae laughed when he heard this.
"Xiao Wu. Don't say, use your brain, you can design people. I know I'm afraid to buy 'fried'. But the knowledge in your belly is too ...... Let's be honest, the seller probably ran into a real big deal. The supply is good, and at least half of the porcelain on the stall is worth buying, so I designed such a play. In addition to those things, there are also scrolls of calligraphy and paintings. I didn't open it again, so I couldn't tell if there was anything good in it? β
This was really unexpected, which made Hong Yanwu shocked.
"Ahh Uncle, is it true that you just found fault with him? Listening to what you said, I thought it was true when I saw that kid was so convinced. How can you make it up so seamlessly?"
Yuntai couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, where can I make it up temporarily? This all depends on speculation and true knowledge of people's hearts. Not to mention anything else, that kid can list all the things on his own stall, which in itself proves that his level is limited, and he can't tell the truth from the fake. Otherwise, it is enough to put a good thing in one place, how can this be? There is also the blue and white plum vase, and the fact that he can sell it to me shows that he is suspicious, otherwise who wouldn't pick up this good thing and wait for a big buyer? Why do you give it to your peers? I just saw his ambiguity, so I took the right medicine to depreciate the goods. β
"Words are spoken at both ends, as the so-called truth is false, and false is true. For example, I said that it is true that the big families have lost. How many of them are undefeated today, but the goods on his stall are enough to prove two things, one is that this big family has left behind high-quality products. The second is that the old man in the family is gone, and the things are poured to him by the juniors who don't know how to do it. β
"And the bucket color bowl and the blue and white plum vase I said, the bucket color bowl is really not true. But the blue and white plum vase is the official kiln of Kangxi. The bottle is painted with withered branches and flowers and birds, the painting style is peculiar, and the birds look at people with white eyes, which is very exciting. It is true that I said that the sparse Lala is the style of painting of the Republic of China, but the bird on the plum bottle is rolling its eyes, but the appearance is exactly the same as the style of the 'Bada Shanren' Zhu Qi. β
"You must know that Zhu Qi is a descendant of the Ming family and is from a noble family. Born in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, his heart was unbalanced, so he expressed his dissatisfaction with society in his paintings, and concentrated on the eyes of the animals he painted, such as the deer, fish, and birds he painted, all of which rolled their eyes. It's not that the level of painting is not enough. β
"In addition, the Chenghua section is also the key. Kangxi's early porcelain rarely wrote paragraphs. The reason is that Kangxi thinks that the porcelain is written, and if it is broken, it is unlucky, and he is not allowed to write. But there is a special phenomenon on many of Kangxi's porcelain, writing a large number of consignments. For example, write 'Xuande Year System of the Ming Dynasty', 'Year System of Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty', and 'Jiajing Year System of the Ming Dynasty', these three dynasties are the most written. That's it. β
"To put it bluntly, the one who sells goods is uneducated, it's really half-hearted. If he understands a little but is not proficient, he will be moved by me, pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon. I have to advise you. Xiao Wu, you are just like the one who sells goods, you lack something in your stomach. No matter how smart you are, you won't be able to play in this industry if you don't really learn it. You like these things, you have to drill them. Otherwise, you will inevitably cry when you cry. β
