The next day is the annual New Year's Day. However, although this day is also regarded as a statutory holiday in China, it is basically the same as an ordinary holiday because the Chinese people do not pay attention to it.

It's the same for Meng Zitao, who used to visit the antique market on New Year's Day, or slept lazily at home, and basically didn't have much activity.

This year is a little different, because this is the first time he has spent New Year's Day in a foreign country, and at this moment, he is standing with the army in the very famous City God Temple in Shanghai.

Originally, Meng Zitao just wanted to come to the City God Temple for a visit, but when he got there, he found that it was overcrowded, and when he saw the crowded appearance, Meng Zitao was a little afraid, so he simply went directly to the real destination of this trip, the treasure house.

Treasure House is the most popular antique market in Shanghai, and it is quite famous in the whole country. There are four floors, of which the first and second floors have an area of about 2,100 square meters, with nearly 400 fixed shops, and the third floor is a fixed stall.

The fourth floor follows the tradition of the Fuyou Road stall market, with more than 300 stalls set up on Saturdays and Sundays.

Moreover, it also imitates the characteristics of the "ghost market" in the old days, when people are still immersed in sleep, it is full of people, stalls, treasure hunting, first on the road in front of the building lively, and then pour into the four floors of the "treasure building", stalls and trades.

It's a pity that today is not a weekend, which is a little regrettable for Meng Zitao, but because it is New Year's Day, there are many tourists.

Diametrically opposed to ordinary shopping, visiting the antique market, Mencius Tao didn't seem to know what fatigue was, he walked slowly, only to see ceramics and jade, bamboo and wood carvings, the four treasures of the study, new and old calligraphy and paintings, and coins of the past dynasties. All the way to old fans, antique clocks, yellowed old photos, and so on. Able to confuse people.

As for whether the things here are real or fake, they are basically the same as other antique markets. If you want to find good things, you have to look at your eyesight.

For Meng Zitao, this is not a problem, along the way, he started a few gadgets, although it is not a leak price, but the price is still quite good.

Meng Zitao took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and found that it was almost the agreed time, so he walked towards his destination.

After going back yesterday. Meng Zitao repeated the matter of the curium porcelain to Zheng Anzhi.

Zheng Anzhi learned the details, so he said to Meng Zitao that if he encountered this kind of thing in the future, he would try to buy it, but he didn't blame Meng Zitao for what he meant, and told him that it was nothing if he missed it, just let Meng Zitao come to the treasure house to find a friend of his. That's where today's itinerary comes in.

Meng Zitao came to Zheng Anzhi's friend's shop, and when he saw that the door was open, he walked in.

Generally, when Mencius arrives in an unfamiliar environment, he likes to look around. I saw that the area of this store is not very large, but although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. It's basically similar to the furnishings of a larger antique shop, but it doesn't look crowded. It seems that the person who arranged it is also a capable person.

At this time, there were two people sitting in the store. One of them is an old man with glasses, who looks and dresses a lot like an old offering in a TV series, and he holds a 鬲 (lì) incense burner in his hand.

The incense burner of this shape is derived from the style of imitating the copper mantle of the Zhou Dynasty, and is most famous for the one fired by Song Longquan.

The incense burner in the old man's hand looks pale green, and it looks like it should also be the characteristic of the Longquan kiln, as for which dynasty it is, then it can only be seen.

Sitting opposite the old man was a middle-aged man, who was looking at the old man nervously at this time, needless to say, and knew that the incense burner was almost his.

Seeing Meng Zitao and the army coming in, the middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at Meng Zitao, and then turned his attention to the old man, but the old man turned a deaf ear to Meng Zitao's arrival, and his eyes only paid attention to the incense burner in his hand, and he seemed very focused.

Meng Zitao walked over gently, smiled at the middle-aged man, and stood next to him and looked at the incense burner.

I saw that the overall shape is upright and thick, the curve is smooth, the glaze is pure and soft, mature and dignified, thick and moist, at the turning point of the incense burner, the tire is exposed and the tire color is presented, from these characteristics, it should be the characteristics of the Longquan kiln in the Yuan Dynasty.

It took five or six minutes for the old man to come back to his senses, and only then did he notice Meng Zitao standing next to him and asked, "Does Xiaoyou want anything?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "Hello Jiang Lao, I am Meng Zitao who contacted you yesterday. ”

The old man's name is Jiang Weiwen, and he smiled and said, "It's Xiao Meng, it's really a talent." ”

Then, he introduced the middle-aged man and Meng Zitao: "Xiao Meng is the descendant of Zheng Anzhi. ”

As soon as Zheng Anzhi's name came out, the middle-aged man immediately became enthusiastic: "My surname is Yuan, and my single name is a Lin character, if you don't mind, you can just call me Lao Yuan." ”

Meng Zitao hurriedly said a few polite words and asked, "I don't know if it's inconvenient for me to be here?"

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "What's inconvenient about this, I just wanted Jiang Lao to help identify this thing, and there is nothing private about it." ”

Jiang Weiwen invited Meng Zitao to sit down and said, "Xiao Meng, you take a look at this thing first." ”

"Hehe, then you're welcome. ”

Just as Meng Zitao was appreciating it, Jiang Weiwen asked Yuan Lin, "Xiao Yuan, can you tell me the origin of this thing?"

"No problem......" Next, Yuan Lin told the origin of the incense burner.

Anyway, three days ago, Yuan Lin went on a business trip, and his friends knew his hobbies, and it happened that he knew that someone had something old that he wanted to transfer, so he wanted to ask Jiang Weiwen if he wanted to go.

Without saying a word, Yuan Lin followed his friend to a hotel and met an old man who looked like a peasant.

After the two sides got acquainted with each other, the old man said a little nervously that his hometown had dug up something and wanted to find a way out, so this time he brought a general point to explore the way.

As he stammered, the old man took out a package from under the bed, which contained three layers of incense.

Looking at the incense burner, Yuan Lin's eyes were a little straight, he hurriedly started to observe, with his eyesight, this should be genuine, but what made him a little puzzled was that this porcelain was too new, and the new one seemed to have not subsided, which made him feel a little unreliable.

After thinking about it, he thought of a few possibilities in his mind and asked, "Uncle, can you tell me where this thing was dug up, don't worry, I don't inquire about the specific address." ”

The old man hesitated, but said, "It's a cellar." ”

As soon as Yuan Lin heard this, he was relieved and asked, "Uncle, how much does it cost, you can say it." ”

The old man pondered for a moment, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out a slap with some hesitation.

Yuan Lin asked, "50,000?"

The old man shook his head again and again and said, "How can you ask for 50,000 yuan, just 5,000 yuan, if you want it, take it." ”

Yuan Lin didn't say a word at the time, and immediately made a deal.

"That's it, when I got home, I felt that this thing was too new, and I felt that there was no bottom, so I brought it to you to look at it for a long time. Yuan Lin said.

Jiang Weiwen nodded with a smile and asked, "Xiao Meng, what do you think of this thing?"

Meng Zitao replied: "It should be a Longquan kiln work of the Yuan Dynasty, which is really good." ”

"What do you think?"

"That's ......"

Listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Jiang Weiwen said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Yuan, congratulations, this time you really missed it." ”

When Yuan Lin heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Old Jiang, then you can give an estimate." ”

"You kid likes to inch in. Jiang Weiwen scolded with a smile and said, "It should be around 120,000, Xiao Meng, what do you say?"

"Absolutely. Meng Zitao smiled.

Yuan Lin smiled: "I didn't expect me to pick up such a big leak, I'll contact that person when I get back." ”

Jiang Weiwen waved his hand: "Wait, there are a lot of people in this line who hang big fish in the long line, so it's better to be careful in this matter." ”

Yuan Lin was surprised: "It was introduced by my friend, so it shouldn't be." ”

Jiang Weiwen said: "In this business, there is definitely no harm in being careful, I suggest you come one by one." ”

"Okay, I'll take notice. Yuan Lin agreed.

However, Meng Zitao felt that he might not have listened, and Jiang Weiwen also saw this, but to put it mildly, he had already reminded him of the damned ghost who was good at persuasion, but Yuan Lin still didn't listen, and finally fell for being deceived, so there was no way.

Just as Yuan Lin put away the incense burner and was about to say goodbye, two people walked in from outside the door.

The reactions of both sides were similar, and while they were stunned, they muttered in their hearts: "It's really a narrow road!"

I believe everyone has already guessed that they are none other than Zhu Tianhua and Luo Yue, who they only met yesterday.

Jiang Weiwen stood up and greeted with a smile: "Xiao Luo, why do you have time to come over today?"

Luo Yue first introduced the two sides, and said with a smile: "My friend got a Xuande blue and white fruit pattern plate yesterday, and I know that you always like it, so I will bring it to you to see." ”

Hearing this, Meng Zitao's expression couldn't help but become a little strange, and he said secretly: "It can't be such a coincidence, that curium porcelain was actually bought by Zhu Tianhua? If that's the case, Zhu Tianhua is too decrepit!"

Next, as Meng Zitao thought, the two sides exchanged a few words, and Zhu Tianhua put the brocade box in his hand on the table, opened it and saw that it was the "curium porcelain".

Seeing this, Meng Zitao almost looked up to the sky and laughed, but the smile on Zhu Tianhua's face at this time, in his eyes, seemed to be saying loudly: "Come and slap my face! Come and smoke! I can't wait!"

At this time, Jiang Weiwen saw that Meng Zitao couldn't help laughing, so he felt a little strange and asked, "Xiao Meng, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Zitao's expression was full, and he hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I just thought of something." ”

"Oh. Jiang Weiwen said: "By the way, I haven't introduced you yet." ”

"No need!" The three of them waved their hands at the same time, which surprised Jiang Weiwen and Yuan Lin. (To be continued.) )
