Meng Zitao was about to act according to the original plan, when suddenly, an exclamation sounded not far away, and when he looked back, he saw that a little girl had tripped over something, and she stumbled towards the stall next to Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao looked back and was shocked, the stall was full of bronzes, as well as pagodas and other things, if the little girl happened to poke it, the disfigurement would be light.

Seeing this situation, Meng Zitao didn't care about anything else, got up and hurried a few steps, and caught the little girl at once.

"Wow!"

The little girl was frightened by this and began to cry, and only then did the surrounding people react and praise Meng Zitao's actions.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The little girl's father ran over, saw that his daughter was fine, and thanked Meng Zitao repeatedly.

"It's okay, kids still have to be careful. ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said that it didn't matter, he wiped the drink on his body, and his heart was suddenly stunned.

The little girl's father saw Meng Zitao's movements, noticed that Meng Zitao's sleeves were wet, and quickly apologized and said, "Sir, I'm really sorry, I'll help you clean your clothes." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand: "Don't bother, it will be done in a while." ”

He thought to himself that if it hadn't been for this accident, he would probably have missed out on a treasure, and he would have to thank the little girl.

The little girl's father said some kind words again, and then pulled the little girl away: "You child, tell you to be careful when you drink, just don't be careful! Do you have a long memory this time?"

"Hmm......"

Before Meng Zitao returned to the stall, the stall owner gave him a thumbs up: "Thanks to you, otherwise, that little girl would probably be miserable." ”

Meng Zitao smiled slightly: "It's nothing, if you can save it, you must save it." Okay, let's talk about this jade cup, 20,000 yuan is definitely impossible, and the quality of this jade cup is not very good, half of it is expensive. ”

"You said 10,000 is expensive!"

Meng Zitao nodded: "I think so." ”

"Ten thousand is really not expensive. The stall owner thought about it for a while: "I think you are also a good person, otherwise, 10,000 yuan, I will let you choose one more of these things, what do you think?"

Meng Zitao thought about it for a few seconds and agreed: "Okay, then I'll suffer a loss, I'll choose...... This plum vase ......"

"Oops!" The stall owner suddenly shouted: "Little brother, I'm really sorry, I forgot just now, this plum bottle has been booked by my friend, please choose another one!"

Meng Zitao was stunned, and then his face showed a little anger: "What do you mean by this! I said that I would choose one, but now I am doing this, do you understand the rules!"

The stall owner said to Meng Zitao again and again: "This matter is indeed mine, otherwise, you can choose two more pieces, which can be regarded as my compensation to you, do you think it will work?"

Meng Zitao sneered: "After I chose it, did you say that someone else booked it?"

The stall owner waved his hand: "There must only be such a once!"

"That's what you said!"

Meng Zitao looked at the things on the stall, his brows kept frowning, and his face was a little not good-looking, and the stall owner observed Meng Zitao's expression, and he was very proud.

After a while, Meng Zitao casually pointed to a piece of porcelain and an ancient book and said, "Just these two pieces, help me wrap them." ”

"Great!"

Meng Zitao took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner.

The stall owner carefully counted the money three times, and then carefully put it away, then took out three cardboard boxes, wrapped up all the things Mencius Tao had selected and put them in the boxes, and tied them with a rope a few times.

Meng Zitao took his things and left, and the stall owner waved his hand to Meng Zitao: "Brother, come back next time!"

After walking a few steps, Meng Zitao said to Li Jian next to him: "Do you know what is the most taboo in the antique market?"

"Fake?" Li Jian replied tentatively.

Meng Zitao shook his head: "No, the most taboo thing is to be smart, just like the stall guy just now, he thought he had earned it, but in fact he still suffered a big loss." Another point, when you buy something, never let others know your hole cards!"

In fact, if the stall owner didn't do anything clever just now, Meng Zitao might give him some sweetness, after all, he ate meat, and it was normal for the stall owner to drink some soup, but the stall owner deliberately made small tricks, and as a result, he couldn't even drink some soup.

Li Jian is also a smart person, and he immediately understood what Meng Zitao meant, and when he thought of the stall owner's angry appearance after learning the truth, he felt a little like laughing.

"Teacher Meng, where are we going next?"

"Let's go to dinner first, go to Confucius Temple in the afternoon, and it's okay to go early. ”

In the afternoon, I went to the Confucius Temple for a spin, and Meng Zitao also gained something, of course, this is all with his own money, as long as he doesn't take it out to compete, he won't violate the rules.

When Meng Zitao came to the gymnasium with his things, Shu Ze came over to greet him: "Yo, big bags and small bags, I have gained a lot." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "When I met it, I thought it was okay, so I bought it, and I didn't use it for the competition." ”

"I said how can you buy so many things for 10,000 yuan. Shu Ze smiled and said, "Quickly show me, which ones are purchased with the special funds for the competition?"

Meng Zitao pointed to three boxes, one large and two small, and said, "These are the three things." ”

Shu Ze couldn't wait to open the largest box, took out the porcelain inside, and his eyes radiated.

This is a sunflower bowl, the whole body is covered with green and white glaze, the glaze is thick, the glaze is light blue, warm and moist like jade, the glaze is pure and transparent, the inner wall is half a knife mud carved with flowers, the decoration is smooth, the knife work is sharp, the atmosphere is exquisite, the whole instrument gives people grace and luxury, fresh and elegant feeling, the bottom pad burns, the traces are obvious, there is no glaze in the foot ring, the open mat cake mat burns marks, and the quality is correct and complete.

"This should be the shadow celadon of the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, right?" Shu Ze admired.

Meng Zitao smiled: "Your level is getting better now!"

Shu Ze looked at the porcelain and said, "I can't compare to you, but I've grown a little bit." ”

At this time, Qian Qingyun walked over, and when he saw the porcelain in Shu Ze's hand, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to look at it, and he kept praising it.

Qian Qingyun's expression attracted everyone's attention, and some people gathered around and stretched their necks to look at the porcelain.

"Teacher Meng, this piece of shadow celadon should be worth 200,000. Qian Qingyun looked up and asked.

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "It's not up to me to decide how much it's worth. ”

Hearing Qian Qingyun's valuation, some people snorted lightly, after all, it is not ten years ago, it is still easy to pick up leaks, and now people are bombarded with all kinds of information, and there are a lot more eyes in their hearts, although there are also millions of big leaks, but in comparison, it is also a rare existence.

What's more, the rules of today's game have been passed out, and the various bosses of the antique market have all opened their eyes, waiting for the players to come, in this case, Meng Zitao picked up a leak worth 200,000 yuan, and the difficulty can be imagined.

At this time, Xu Xiaofeng came back with something in his hand, and when he saw that there were a lot of people around Meng Zitao, he immediately inquired about what was going on, smiled disdainfully in his heart, and walked straight to the registration desk.

"Mr. Xu, do you want to register?" the staff member asked politely, getting up.

"Yes, register for me. Xu Xiaofeng nodded lightly and took out an incense burner from the box, the incense burner looked gray and inconspicuous at all.

"Is this the incense burner?" the staff was a little surprised.

"Of course, do you think I'm going to joke about it?" Xu Xiaofeng said.

The staff smiled apologetically, hurriedly registered Xu Xiaofeng, and put away the incense burner.

"Show me the censer. Ren Anjian walked over.

"Hello Ren Lao. Xu Xiaofeng greeted respectfully.

Ren Anjian responded with a smile, picked up the incense burner and observed it carefully, his brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes calm, and finally he put the incense burner back on the table, laughed and patted Xu Xiaofeng's shoulder and said, "Xiao Xu, your eyesight is good!"

Xu Xiaofeng said modestly: "It's just that I just happened to meet it, it's nothing." ”

Ren Anjian said with a smile: "I like your character, young people should be humble, of course, don't be too modest, that is pride." ”

Speaking of which, he also deliberately glanced at where Meng Zitao was.

Xu Xiaofeng understood what he meant, and secretly rejoiced, it seems that Ren Anjian has a lot of opinions about Meng Zitao, which must be very beneficial to him, if the value of the two contestants is equal, Ren Anjian will definitely be towards himself.

Shu Ze looked at the contents of the other two boxes, and felt that Meng Zitao should have participated in the competition with shadow celadon, thinking of this, he was a little worried, although this shadow celadon is good, and the value is more than 200,000, but the competition is hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and there is no guarantee that it will win.

"Zitao, will you be too confident with this shadow for the competition?" Shu Ze asked in a low voice.

Meng Zitao smiled slightly: "Who told you that I am going to compete with this porcelain." ”

Shu Ze was stunned: "Ah, it's not Yingqing, which one do you take to compete?"

"Let's go and register and you'll know. ”

Meng Zitao sold a pass and came to the registration staff with the box.

"Please help me register. ”

Meng Zitao put the smallest box on the table.

Shu Ze was a little stunned: "Zitao, you can't be joking, right? You can't see the traces of forgery on it, right?"

Meng Zitao pointed to himself: "Do you think I look like someone who can joke now?"

"Uh......" With Shu Ze's understanding of Meng Zitao, of course he also knew that it was impossible for Meng Zitao to joke, but he also looked at the jade cup twice, except for the characteristics of being fake, there was nothing else distinctive. Even if the counterfeiter has added enough snakes, but in terms of market value, the value of the jade cup is sufficient, but it is only a hundred thousand, and it is not as high as the shadow celadon, he can't understand why Meng Zitao would make such a decision.
