Chapter 16 Antique Stalls

After three years in the antique city, although Liu Dong himself is not an antique, he knows very well about the doorway here.

Although the middle-aged man in front of him was dressed and looked inconspicuous, Liu Dong knew that as long as he could open a shop and set up a stall in the antique city, he would be an old oilman who had been here for more than ten years. These people may not be as good as the experts in museums and auction houses. But they look at people and do business, which is definitely very old-fashioned.

As long as Liu Dong showed a little bit that he was interested in what he was on his stall. Then this middle-aged man will definitely quote a sky-high price that makes people feel painful, even if it is a modern work of art, he can blow you into a royal tribute of a certain dynasty and a certain generation.

"Boss, how do you sell this thing?" Liu Dong bent down and picked up a blue and white three-legged pen from the stall and asked.

"Brother, your vision is really good, this three-legged brush wash is a serious Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln porcelain, now it is rare, I bought it from the countryside, if you like ......!"

"Stop!" Liu Dong hurriedly interrupted the middle-aged boss's gushing words, and now give the whole Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln, and it is estimated that it should be said that it is a royal thing, and then it is a set of stories that quote scriptures. Liu Dong is too familiar with this kind of nonsense made up when dealing with laymen in the antique industry, and he doesn't want to waste time listening to this middle-aged man's boring story.

Moreover, although Liu Dong has never seen Ru kiln, one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, he has known a lot in the antique city for three years. Moreover, the three-legged brush wash of Ru kiln is a typical vessel of the famous Ru kiln, which is now stored in the Palace Museum.

However, even if he did not have the ability in his eyes, he would never believe that this porcelain with a dull glaze and rough tire would be the Ru kiln porcelain, the crown of Song Dynasty porcelain.

"Boss, now there are only sixty-seven pieces of Ru kiln porcelain in the world, and all the museums in our Dongshan Province have no one, if you think this is Ru kiln porcelain worth tens of millions, then you should keep it yourself!" As he spoke, Liu Dong put the three-legged pen wash in his hand back on his stall.

Although the truth was revealed by Liu Dong, there was no abnormality on the face of the middle-aged boss, it was obvious that he was already a tried and tested person, and he said with a smile at the moment: "I didn't expect the little brother to be a connoisseur, if the little brother really likes this pen, you can take it for two hundred yuan!" ”

After listening, Liu Dong couldn't help but pouted in his heart, this three-legged pen wash is not even a high imitation, the whole is shoddy, not to mention two hundred, even ten yuan is too expensive for him. What's more, Liu Dong's purpose was not originally it.

"Boss, how much is this!" Saying that, Liu Dong quietly picked up the things he was optimistic about.

"Oh, this snuffbox is a serious old gadget of the Qing Dynasty, the little brother is an understanding person, I don't want more from you, just a thousand yuan!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong quickly shook his head, "Boss, you and I both understand that if it was the Qing Dynasty, you wouldn't be here!" ”

The middle-aged man heard the implicit meaning of Liu Dong's words, and indeed he also knew that the market for Qing Dynasty snuff bottles was good now, and the cheapest auction prices of fine products were generally around 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, among which Sotheby's 1997 auctioned a Qing Dynasty glass fetal painting enamel color snuff bottle was sold for 1.67 million Hong Kong dollars. And this was the price of two or three years ago, and now with the booming antique collecting market, this price will definitely be higher.

Moreover, even if it is not a snuff box of the last three generations, as long as it is an old thing of the Qing Dynasty, it will never cost more than a thousand yuan.

"How much does the little brother want?" The middle-aged man also saw that although the person in front of him was young, he was a real connoisseur and was not easy to fool, so he extinguished the desire to sell at a high price.

"Five bucks!" Liu Dong cut the price, but he was also ruthless.

"Five? Little brother, although this thing of mine is not an antique, when I first received it, it was more than this price! The middle-aged man said in disbelief, and because Liu Dong's price was too low, and the middle-aged man didn't treat him as the boss as he did at the beginning, so in a hurry, he leaked out his bottom.

Looking at his appearance, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile, he knew that his price was indeed a little low, "Boss, let's do it, what do you think of fifty yuan, this price is not low for it!" He knew that the snuff bottle in his hand was a real guy, and he really wanted to meet someone who knew the goods, not to mention fifty, it was five hundred, and five thousand would definitely not be lost if he bought it.

"Fifty dollars is a bit less, why don't you add some more?" But before he could finish speaking, he saw Liu Dong making a gesture to put the snuff bottle back in.

"Okay, fifty is fifty!" Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly agreed.

Although the antique shop pays attention to 'not opening for three years, opening for three years', this kind of big business is not available all the time. It is true that this snuff bottle does not make much money when it is sold, but there are also thirty or forty yuan of income.

Hearing that the middle-aged man agreed, the joy in Liu Dong's eyes flashed, but fortunately, he was now bowing his head, but he didn't let the middle-aged man see anything unusual. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Liu Dong hurriedly reached out and took out fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it over, after the money and goods were cleared, he picked up his own snuffbox on the stall, carefully put it into the pocket of his jacket, stood up contentedly, and prepared for the next trip to pick up leaks.

Looking at his series of movements and the careful look on his face, the middle-aged man clutched the fifty yuan yuan in his hand, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, is this snuff box that he moved from his old house really an old thing. However, even if he wanted to regret it now, it would be too late. After the money and goods are cleared, even if this snuff bottle is worth millions, it has nothing to do with him.

And this is the rule in the antique city, whether it is 'eye-catching' or 'leaking treasure', you can only blame yourself for your poor eyesight, and you must not regret it afterwards, or retaliate.

"Xiaodong!" Just when Liu Dong left the stall and walked less than 100 meters, he heard an old voice coming from behind him.

"Uncle Long?" Turning around and looking at the old man who was smiling and waving to him, Liu Dong couldn't help but be surprised.

"How did you surprise me to see me here?" At this time, the old man also walked over quickly.

Hearing this, Liu Dong touched his nose and said with a calm smile: "Yes, it's past four o'clock now, and it's the time for the Venerable Master to shop in the store, why do you still have the leisure to shop here?" Because the two sides are already very familiar with each other, Liu Dong has no scruples when he speaks.

"Young man, can you show me the items you just ransacked?" Before Uncle Long could speak, the old man who came after him spoke first. Liu Dong took a look at it and understood that this old man wearing an old-fashioned cardigan, a pair of black half-pants on his lower body, and a pair of blue slippers on his feet was not simple. Although he is dressed casually, he has a gentle and elegant literati temperament.

When Uncle Long came over just now, Liu Dong saw this old man, but he didn't know the other party, so he didn't say hello.
