When Xiaoyun heard that this was something from the Xia Dynasty, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Xia Dynasty!

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "You can check it on the Internet to know whether it is true or false." ”

Xiaoyun said: "No, I mean the Xia Dynasty should have been three or four thousand years ago, at that time, it was possible to make such exquisite ornaments?

Meng Zitao took out the jade pig dragon he had exchanged for from his pocket, put it on the table and smiled slightly: "What period do you think this is?"

"Hey, this is ......"

He Wanyi and Chang Huarong were extremely surprised when they saw this jade pig dragon, and Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to talk about it later.

Xiao Yun picked up the jade pig dragon and looked left and right, and finally said with some hesitation: "This is jade, at least there must be something like a knife to make it, right?" I don't feel that Shang Zhou should be able to make it, but since you take it out now, the production time should be about the same as this ornament." ”

Meng Zitao shook his head: "No, it will be earlier. ”

Xiao Yun was stunned and said, "Earlier, it shouldn't be realistic to be able to make such a beautiful jade artifact at that time, right?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "If you really want to say it, you go and look at the Liangzhu Yucong around 5300-4500 years ago to see what is complicated." ”

"Really?" Xiao Yun looked skeptical, obviously not believing Meng Zitao's words.

"Just look at it on the Internet. The army reminded.

After being reminded by the army, Meng Zitao immediately reacted that he had already bought a laptop. Pulled the network cable again.

"I'm going to help Professor Chang look at this plaque, you can look it up on the Internet yourself." ”

"Okay, I'm going to see how powerful this Liangzhu Yucong is. "Asked where the computer was. Xiaoyun walked to the reception room with great interest.

After a while, seeing Meng Zitao raise his head from the beginning, Chang Huarong asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Meng, how about my plaque?"

Meng Zitao said with some regret: "Professor Chang, I'm sorry, I'm not optimistic about this. ”

"What! You say it's a fake?!" Chang Huarong exclaimed in surprise when he heard this, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Meng Zitao said: "It can't be said that it is a fake. ”

"What do you mean?" Chang Huarong was puzzled.

Meng Zitao thought for a moment. Then he asked, "Professor Chang, can you tell me the origin of this thing?"

Chang Huarong pondered for a moment. said: "Shopkeeper Meng, I'm sorry, I can't say this for the time being. But don't worry, I'm not going to talk nonsense about the conclusions you give. ”

Meng Zitao nodded. As long as Chang Huarong can keep his promises, he can do it. said: "Actually, it's very simple, this thing is half true and half fake, the base and part of the turquoise are genuine, and the remaining part of the turquoise is added later." Actually, it's nothing to make up for the real turquoise, but this person just used fake turquoise, and he deliberately made it old. ”

"Ahh

Meng Zitao picked up a magnifying glass and put it in front of Chang Huarong. Pointing to a turquoise stone on the plaque, he said:

"Professor Chang, you can observe it with a magnifying glass. It should not be difficult to notice that there are swirling colors and small bubbles on it. In addition, the surface can be seen with small hemispherical grooves, which are caused by the bursting of the bubble, and the refractive value is low, only this imitation has a similar refractive index to the real thing, but the small bubble can still be seen to be an imitation......"

Chang Huarong observed according to Meng Zitao's explanation, coupled with the comparison of some of the genuine products, it is easy to see the difference, whether it is true or false, it is clear at a glance.

Seeing the end, Chang Huarong was obviously stunned, his expression was also cloudy, after a while, he gritted his teeth, and then returned the tool to Meng Zitao, and said, "Shopkeeper Meng, thank you, I will leave first." ”

Meng Zitao originally wanted to ask Chang Huarong if there was anything he needed help with, but thinking that Chang Huarong didn't even want to tell him the origin of the things just now, he didn't say much.

As soon as Chang Huarong left on his front foot, Xiao Yun walked back with an expression of amazement: "I didn't expect that such a complex ornament was made at that time, it wouldn't be made by aliens for them, right?"

Meng Zitao felt a little funny, of course, there are no wonders in the world, and it can't be said that what Xiaoyun said is wrong, but the possibility is too small. As for what is going on, perhaps in the future, with archaeological discoveries and research, there will be answers, and this is where the fun of studying antiques lies.

He Wanyi said with a smile: "Let's not talk about whether there are aliens or not, even if there are, why do they just make jade cong?"

Xiaoyun said: "This is not necessarily, maybe the aliens think it is fun? Otherwise, I really can't explain why the people at that time were able to make such a beautiful jade." ”

"Four or five thousand years ago, who could have guessed that? Maybe people at that time had such technology? Who can guarantee that this is not the case?" He Wanyi said with a smile.

"Perhaps. Xiaoyun thought about it, put this matter aside, and said, "By the way, what kind of professor was just now? Why did he leave so quickly, is there something wrong with something?"

"Yes......" Mencius explained the matter.

Xiaoyun said speechlessly: "That person is too hateful, isn't it, this turquoise is not expensive, what if you take it really?"

Meng Zitao said: "Natural turquoise is easy to fade when exposed to heat or heat, and it can also change color when it is corroded by strong acids, so he may have done this because it needs to be old." ”

He Wan nodded abruptly, and then asked, "If it's genuine, how much can that thing just now be worth?"

Meng Zitao shook his head: "I said before that there are only three pieces of this kind of artifact unearthed, and there is no record of auction at all, I can only conservatively estimate it now, and the value should be about five million." ”

Xiaoyun was surprised: "It's so expensive?

Meng Zitao said: "It depends on how much money he spends." ”

Xiaoyun sighed: "Hey, it's really unlucky. After a while, millions of dollars were wasted like this, Wanyi. I advise you not to step into this industry, in case you are blind, depression is still second, the key is that it is all spent in vain!"

He Wanyi said: "I was just interested, but I didn't expect to spend so much money on what treasures. ”

Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Yes, you have someone to help you." ”

He Wanyi's cheeks blushed when she heard this. Jiao said angrily: "Xiaoyun, if you talk nonsense again, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yun glanced at Meng Zitao with a grin.

Meng Zitao also touched his nose. It looked a little embarrassing, but my heart was happy.

After laughing for a while, Xiaoyun proposed, "Why don't we go shopping, I just saw a few stalls on the street outside." ”

He Wanyi said angrily: "You are really duplicitous. ”

Xiao Yun said confidently: "The key is that there are masters now." Otherwise. I wouldn't dare. ”

Meng Zitao said: "Actually, today is Thursday, there are not many stalls, and it won't take long to shop, and there are a lot more stalls on Saturdays and Sundays." ”

"Forget it, I really don't dare to go to crowded places now. Xiaoyun seemed a little apprehensive, it seemed that what happened last time had a great impact on her.

Meng Zitao looked at the time and said, "Okay." Let's go now. ”

With that, he looked at the army. Dajun said he would just stay and look at the store.

Walking out of the door, Xiaoyun pointed to the place not far on the right and said, "There's a stall there, let's go over and have a look?"

Meng Zitao looked in the direction of Xiao Yun's point, and found that in a place near the corner, there was a stall, and the things on the stall were miscellaneous, such as porcelain, jade, cultural toys and a few vases, and a stall of nearly three or four square meters was full.

In addition, the stall owner is a young man in his thirties who looks ordinary.

Meng Zitao was a little strange, because he hadn't seen this person before, and there weren't many stalls on the antique street today, so he didn't put it in a good place, what was he doing in that corner, did he deliberately not want to do business?

Because he felt strange, Meng Zitao didn't actually plan to go there, but before he could speak, Xiaoyun walked over with a slump.

Meng Zitao was helpless, and in broad daylight, he didn't worry about being blind, so he followed with He Wanyi.

Walking in, Meng Zitao is even more strange, because the things on the stall are basically old things that have been opened to the next generation, although the value is not expensive, but it is also relatively rare.

But because of this, Meng Zitao felt even more strange, the reason is very simple, since the things are genuine, why don't the stall owners take a better place to set up a stall, don't really think that the stall is also the fragrance of wine and is not afraid of deep alleys, right?

Xiaoyun looked at it and felt that the things on the stall were very eye-catching, but he was worried that his vision was too bad, so he turned around and asked Meng Zitao, "How are the things here?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "You can pick what you like, and I'll help you see it later." ”

Xiaoyun immediately understood the meaning of the words, and said with a smile: "With your words, I am relieved." ”

Then she turned to the stall owner and asked, "Hey, can you see this thing?"

The stall owner smiled: "I'm setting up a stall here, how can I not look at it? But this is an antique, you can try to be careful when you choose." ”

Xiaoyun was stunned when he heard this: "Your things can't be spelled out, right?"

The stall owner said with a somewhat unhappy expression: "These are all antiques collected by my grandfather, how can they be spelled out!"

Xiaoyun said, "Then why do you tell me to be as careful as possible." ”

The stall owner frowned and said, "I said do you understand, this is an antique, shouldn't you be careful?"

Meng Zitao hurriedly said: "This friend of mine has met a porcelain toucher, so be careful." ”

The stall owner was a little relieved: "Touching porcelain is such a thing, I will definitely not do it, if I touch porcelain, I not only don't want your money, but also lose your money!"

"Now, that's what you said!" Xiao Yun was immediately relieved, and then began to choose.

He Wanyi smiled at Meng Zitao and said, "It's really troublesome for you." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, it's just a gesture, you can also see if there is anything you like." ”

He Wanyi smiled and nodded, and then, the two of them squatted down together to choose what they liked.

Meng Zitao had just looked at a few things, and suddenly felt a strong wind coming behind him, he quickly tilted his head to the side, and saw a palm passing through his shoulder.

Followed by. Meng Zitao heard Meng Hongchang's voice: "I said you don't have to move so fast." ”

Meng Zitao turned his head, saw Meng Hongchang's smiling face, and said, "If I don't move faster." Didn't that make you succeed?"

Meng Hongchang smiled, noticed He Wanyi and Xiaoyun next to him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled teasingly: "Xiaotao, you won't introduce me to it." ”

Meng Zitao glanced at him, and then introduced the two sides.

After a few polite words, Meng Hongchang signaled He Wanyi and them to leave him alone. He pulled Meng Zitao aside and asked, "Are you going to go it alone or take it all?"

Meng Zitao was stunned for a moment, and said speechlessly: "I said that your thoughts are too dirty." ”

Meng Hongchang said with a smile: "You are a big boss now." It's nothing to eat all. ”

Meng Zitao scoffed: "Cut! If you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart!"

Meng Hongchang smiled: "Okay, I know that you have a high ideological consciousness, let's talk about it." Which one do you prefer? Let me guess, it should be that He Wanyi, right?"

"How do you know?" Meng Zitao said in surprise.

Meng Hongchang said: "Cut, isn't that obvious, besides, I don't understand your thoughts." Okay, since that's your dish, give me the other one, no problem, right?"

Meng Zitao frowned and said, "Why haven't you seen this guy for a few days." It's all too soft, it can't be any stimulus, right?"

Meng Hongchang was stunned. Then he smiled bitterly: "You still know me! Hey, my former girlfriend is about to get engaged." ”

Meng Zitao was surprised: "Ah! so fast! or ......"

"It is said to be love at first sight, and the devil knows what happened!" Meng Hongchang said through gritted teeth.

"It's still the same old saying, there is no grass at the end of the world, and you don't think too much. For this kind of thing, Meng Zitao didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only persuade him like this.

Meng Hongchang said: "Even if you think too much, it's useless, and this matter can't be undone." So, I thought I'd just find a new one. ”

"You don't want revenge, do you?" said Meng Zitao, frowning.

Meng Hongchang said angrily: "Report a fart, am I that kind of person? I think Xiaoyun is very cute, so I want to try to get in touch with it." ”

Meng Zitao said: "I definitely support it, but the two of you seem to be seven years apart, will she be willing?"

"Hey, you can be together at the age of ten, how can you know if you don't try?" Meng Hongchang said.

Meng Zitao said: "I will help you beat the side drum at most for this kind of thing, and whether it will succeed or not depends on yourself." ”

"Of course. Meng Hongchang smiled: "Okay, don't let them wait for a long time, let's go back." ”

The two returned to their original positions, and when they saw Xiaoyun looking at him, Meng Hongchang nodded with a smile, and after seeing Xiaoyun nodding slightly, he continued to choose what he liked, and he also paid attention to the antiques in front of him.

"Hey, things seem pretty good here. Meng Hongchang said in surprise.

The stall owner took over and said, "That's right, these are the fine things that my grandfather has collected for many years. If it weren't for the death of his old man, my grandmother wouldn't have taken it out. ”

"Since it's like you said, why are you putting the stall here?" Meng Hongchang asked a thing that Meng Zitao thought was strange just now.

The stall owner said as a matter of course, "I should have to pay over there, right?" And I'm not in a hurry to sell, so it's good to be here." ”

"It's really good enough to pick the door. Meng Hongchang muttered, and then said to Meng Zitao: "I'll also pick a few, remember to help me palm my eyes later." ”

"Aren't you learning?"

"Nonsense, I'm not you, and you don't want to think about how long I've been studying?"

The brothers chatted and looked at the things on the stall, but they didn't notice the thoughtful look in the stall owner's eyes.

After a while, Xiao Yun first picked out what he liked and asked Meng Zitao to help take a look.

Meng Zitao took a look and found that it was five fan bones, and they were all spotted bamboo fan bones.

Spotted bamboo, refers to the bamboo with markinged patterns, but spotted bamboo is not a certain variety of bamboo, it is a variety of plaque patterns formed on the surface of the bamboo after bacteria have eroded the bamboo body.

According to these different patterns of fungus patterns, people subdivide three types of bamboo, each of which has a nice name: phoenix eye, Merlot and Xiangfei, among which Xiangfei bamboo is the best, and its collection value is relatively the highest among these three types of bamboo.

The five fan bones selected by Xiaoyun are three Merlot bamboos, a handful of Xiangfei bamboo, and a handful of phoenix eye bamboos, all of which are nine inches and sixteen gears.

asked Xiaoyun, and seeing that she had five fan bones, Meng Zitao asked, "Boss, how do you sell these?"

The stall owner smiled and said: "This handful of five thousand, this handful of six thousand, these three count you 10,000, a total of 20,000, today is the first time to open, even if you are a whole number, 20,000." ”

Hearing the price, Xiaoyun was immediately unhappy: "What! 20,000! Why don't you grab it!"

Meng Zitao also frowned slightly, feeling that the price offered by the stall owner was really a bit outrageous, not to mention that the age of these five fan bones is not very long, and it itself is not particularly outstanding, even if you meet a special favorite, it is already good to be able to sell it for four or five thousand, and you can definitely buy it for two or three thousand at ordinary times.

Of course, there is a way to ask for a sky-high price, and the price is so high, it is also relatively common in the antique market, and Meng Zitao is not very surprised.

The stall owner smiled: "Then how much do you think you want?"

Xiaoyun didn't know anything about the price at all, so he could only look at Meng Zitao when he heard the words.

Meng Zitao said: "Boss, your price is a bit outrageous, I think a thousand is about the same." ”

The stall owner said with a blank face: "I said this little brother, you have to be too ruthless in your counteroffer, you can also say a thousand yuan, at least 18,000!"

Meng Zitao said: "I can only add another five hundred at most." ”

The stall owner shook his head: "You don't have to negotiate a price like this at all, you can tell a real price, and I will sell it if I can sell it." (To be continued.) )
