Chapter 092: 'Ghost Market' Rumors
Jia Yidao's antique life ghost market' rumors
There are still records of tiles in the history books?" Jia Rudao said curiously.
"yes. Grandpa. Why haven't I ever seen a tile appear?" Jelly asked sweetly on the side. After asking, he winked at Jia Yidao. I'm afraid of this time. Jia Rudao didn't know that she was helping to ask together. Seeing Jia Rudao, he rolled his eyes helplessly at her.
This little girl. Absolutely not well-intentioned. God knows that Jia Rudao will appreciate it for a while. What kind of requests will be made later?
"Huh. There is no record. You want to learn about it. Just listen to others. That's still a minority, after all. The old lady said with a smile. "I can only warn you. Stuff. It has only happened once in history. And. And the only time. Time. It was in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. ……”
Jia Rudao secretly wrote down the old lady's words. Want. The master is also good for him. Especially this tile is still Jia Yidao. Own stuff. Some knowledge of physiognomy. I had to find it myself. Got it. I learned about the historical background and culture of the East and West. It's also a kind of fun in collecting.
Why in the antique market. Even if it's an eye-catcher. Sometimes it is said that it is taking medicine to pay for tuition? Long a wisdom. This time I hit the eye. You're bound to study this kind of stuff thoroughly. In the future. It won't be easy.
And the collection of knowledge. It is also accumulating like this. Slowly enriched.
Of course. Almost everyone who is engaged in antique collecting has had the experience of eye-catching. Especially some newbies. When I first started into this field. Due to lack of eyesight. Often deceived by veterans. It took a lot of money. What is bought is often fake. Jia seems to have heard of it. Some people can also fall on the same side two or three times.
The list goes on.
Even if you're a celebrity. It's like a famous host of Hunan TV. I once blew myself up and was deceived twice by the same fake.
Speaking of the original of his collection. It was purely by chance. Once. On his birthday. He went to play at the house of a collector surnamed Liu in Changsha. Another friend brought a lot of ancient jade products. Please give this collector an appraisal one. One of them, Yugui, piqued his interest.
He held it in his hand and played with it repeatedly, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like he couldn't put it down. And this friend of his liked him so much. Immediately, it was decided to give him this piece of jade as a birthday gift. And. This is particularly surprising. After an appraisal came down this batch of jade products. Most of them are "unreliable" things. Jargon. That is, it is not accurate. And this piece of jade is actually one of the few authentic pieces. This made him unexpected, who was in contact with antiques for the first time. This led to his keen interest in antiques.
Since then. In addition to a busy workday. He also began to slowly get involved in the field of antique collecting.
And in order to be able to find good things. For quite some time. He would get up early in the morning to catch the "ghost market" of the Changsha antique market at three or four o'clock in the morning.
The so-called ghost market. It means that there are "ghosts" in the west. First, the source is unknown. The second is that there are too many fake things.
As for a party like the waterfront. Although there is also a small antique market. The atmosphere is not bad, but the "ghost market" does not exist. Jia Rudao's curiosity about the "ghost market" is there, but it is only limited to curiosity. After all. Don't say it's him. It's some hometown. Also often eye-catching.
As Jia Yidao saw the host one. I was once visiting a "ghost market". At one of the stalls, I saw a small red lotus cup. In perfect condition. The color pattern is extremely exquisite. He took the little flower cup in his hand. I turned on the strong light and looked at it carefully. The dark lines of the cup are quite clear. Have you moved any feet. It doesn't seem like a fake. It's just that. He wasn't sure what he was thinking.
is hesitating at the moment. Antique dealers, who have read countless people, began to tell stories through the cracks. It is said that this flower cup is from the Republic of China. It is a special porcelain fired by a certain celebrity in Jingde. Quantities are extremely scarce. After several major wars and the Cultural Revolution. Luckily, this is the only one left. Definitely a one-of-a-kind piece. That gushing self-contained narration. Let the host who was not very experienced at the time. I was instantly impressed - I asked for the price. It's cheap. It's only a few thousand dollars. Instant deals.
This scene. It was when he and Jia Dao made their first move in the Linhai Ancient Market. Some of them are similar.
But. The host obviously didn't have the same good luck as Jia Yidao.
In the early hours of the next morning. When he went to visit the "ghost market" again. Strange things happened. Still at that stall. There was another lotus cup that was exactly the same as the one he bought yesterday. He hurried forward to ask what was going on. this
The antique dealer saw him after that. Immediately pretended to be very "surprised" of him. I happened to have another one in an old household.
It's not. In order to make one-of-a-kind products a pair. The host gritted his teeth and bought it.
Who knew that the strange things that followed would follow. The same lotus cups start with one, two, three. One after another, mushrooms kept popping up. By this time. The host doesn't even have to be a slap in the face. I also know that I bought something fake. It's a lot of tuition. And. Or in the same place
Collections are just that. Pay the tuition fee once. The eyes will light up once. After paying the tuition fees continuously. The host's eyesight is getting better and better. It is no longer the "Wuxia Amon" of the past. And. In order to be able to improve one's eyesight one by one. He also often goes to the Hunan Museum to see some standard instruments.
Especially through his relationships. Let him be one of the first batch of more than 20 high-end members of the Hunan Museum.
With such an identity. He will be able to participate in some of the activities organized by the museum on a regular basis. You can see some of the authentic works up close. There is even a chance to get started. As a result, the sense of distinguishing the authenticity of antiques is gradually cultivated. Other. If the timing is right. There is even a chance to enter the archaeological site. Observe the specific condition of the excavated artefacts.
Such treatment. It is beyond the reach of ordinary people like Jia Rudao.
Jia Yidao was very envious of such an opportunity. Especially his left hand's perception ability. Even if it is not possible to distinguish the authenticity of porcelain and the like. But. When it comes to the feeling of playing with the same kind of antiques from the same period. Presumably. There is no one more precise and delicate than his perception.
Saying goes. Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods. I'm afraid of comparing things.
Jia seems to think that he wants to make some achievements in the collection. Get in touch with more genuine products. It's a problem that can't be ignored. It's like the blue and white tiles in front of you. If it is a copy of the Hereafter. Even if it looks very realistic. As long as the internal tire quality is slightly different. Jia Rudao can completely judge whether another piece is real or fake based on his perception of this genuine product.
"That's right. Grandpa. There's one more thing here. I'd like to ask you to help me with my palms. "Looking at the tiles. Jia Rudao suddenly remembered from his purse. There's also a piece of porcelain. While talking. He leaned over and fetched it.
"Huh. Xiao Jia, you haven't been collecting for a long time. That's a lot of stuff. I saw this opportunity. Bring it with you. The old lady laughed at first. Then he asked seemingly unconcernedly. "You also received it from Xiao Hong?"
Because when the blue and white tiles were introduced earlier. Jia Rudao also said it truthfully. Want. With the old lady's mind. I definitely don't mind Jia Yidao's leakage behavior. Just put yourself in your shoes and think about it. If this matter is not born in someone whom the old lady knows. Even if he did. I'm afraid he will also look for an opportunity to pick up the leak like Jia Rudao, right?
Antiques in collection. There's no such thing as a flood of compassion. What is particular about a person's eye for antiques.
Of course. It's like Jia seems to be like this now. I know the three things I put away cheaply. It's all priceless words. Later return to Linhai. Slightly better for Mrs. Hong. Like hiring a babysitter or something. Help take care of the old lady's daily life. It is also considered out of respect for the elderly.
If every time you miss something. All return the profits. Then when it comes to eye-catching. Is it possible to find the seller to return the money?
"Yes. Grandpa. Jia seemed to respond. "Still. The pastel bowl mentioned earlier. I haven't seen much of it.··..."
Jia Yidao naturally understood. The old lady asked what the intention was. But. At Mrs. Hong's house. He really didn't see the bowl. And. Mrs. Hong didn't mention any other porcelain in the house. Maybe so many years have passed. The old lady herself didn't know where the little pastel bowl had gone.
Opposite. Mr. Zhang's favorite type of furniture during his lifetime. Mrs. Hong takes care of it well.
Think about it this way. Jia Rudao was a little emotional, and the relationship between Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Hong was a little emotional.
Because this time the pen wash is repaired. And. The art of repairing is crude. At first glance, you can tell that it was made by a layman. The old lady couldn't help frowning slightly.
Don't talk about the old lady. It was jelly when I saw this wash. His eyes widened. It seems to be strange how Jia seems to have managed to get such a broken piece of porcelain?
And. Look at Jia Yidao's movements. And cautiously be a baby.
The little girl glanced at her head. Doesn't seem to care about it.
