Chapter 276: The Lively Pan Family
Chapter 276: The Lively Pan Homeland
…………
Liu Dong took out his wallet directly from his pocket, counted out 10 red tickets and put them on the counter.
"Boss Jia, deal! Thank you! After finishing speaking, Liu Dong turned around with a smile, and took Mu Gang, who was a little confused, and went out.
Looking at Liu Dong's back and looking at the 1,000 yuan on the counter, a trace of regret flashed in Boss Jia's heart. However, he didn't think that this gourd was an antique, but felt that the price he had just asked for was low.
"Xiaodong, why did you spend 1,000 yuan to buy this gourd? But the carving on this gourd is good! "Because he grew up with Uncle Long in Taiyi Pavilion since he was a child, although Mu Gang did not inherit Uncle Long's ability to make wood furniture and miniature carving, his eyesight is still good.
"Hehe, Brother Mu, don't underestimate this gourd, this thing is called a gourd, it has been circulated in our country for thousands of years, until the Qing Dynasty, the coffin was valued by the royal family, Kang Yongqian three dynasties, the palace made a lot of exquisite utensils. This one in my hand is the Kangxi Imperial Palace's Imperial Vessel 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea'! Liu Dong said with a smile.
"So, it's an antique?" Mu Gang asked.
"Not bad! Although the market value of the vessel is not too high now, this piece in my hand is also a fine product for the palace, and it is not a problem to sell it for three or four hundred thousand yuan if it is auctioned. ”
"Three or four hundred thousand?" Mu Gang was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the gourd, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, "Xiaodong, why don't we go back first and put our things down." Otherwise, with such a valuable thing in my hand, I wouldn't be sure! ”
Hear the words. Liu Dong smiled. "No, I don't. With the ability of the two of us, who can snatch things in our hands! ”
"Hehe, that's it!" For his own kung fu, Mu Gang is very confident.
However, considering that it is not convenient to go shopping with a gourd in his hand, Liu Dong bought a large backpack when he passed by the store that sold bags next to him, and then put the gourd in it. Of course, this bag is used to hide people's eyes. The moment he put the gourd in his bag. The gourd appeared in the mustard seed space in his mind.
……
By the time the two of them came out of the Shoudu Museum at half past four in the afternoon, Liu Dong's mustard seed space had grown to 18 meters.
"Pan Jiayuan, I'm here!"
For the country's largest antique and thrift market, Liu Dong has really been looking forward to it for a long time. With his ability, he really doesn't want to have too many 'leaks'.
Panjiayuan thrift market is located in the southwest of Panjiayuan Bridge, South East Third Ring Road, Beijing, covering an area of 48,500 square meters. The market is divided into six business areas, including the stall area, the ancient building area, the classical furniture area, the modern collection area, the stone carving area, and the catering service area. It is mainly engaged in antique items, jewelry and jade, handicrafts, collectibles, and decorations, with an annual turnover of billions of yuan.
The market has more than 4,000 merchants and nearly 10,000 business personnel, of which 60% of the operators come from 28 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions outside the capital. It involves more than a dozen ethnic groups such as Han, Hui, Manchu, Miao, Dong, Uyghur, Mongolian, and Chao-Xian.
The current market was formed in 1992 and has gradually developed with the rise and activity of folk antique art trade. Now it has become a large-scale antique art market that spreads folk culture.
After years of development, Panjiayuan thrift market is not only an antique thrift market, it is also the country's largest folk arts and crafts trading market, Yang-Liuqing's New Year's paintings, Jiang-Su embroidery, Dong-Yang's wood carvings, Qu-Yang's stone carvings, Shan-Dong's shadow puppetry, as long as you can think of folk handicrafts, you can find them here.
Moreover, with the development of Panjiayuan, it has become a symbol of Chinese national culture and a must-choose place for tourism in Beijing. Especially on Saturdays and weekends, there are 60,000 or 70,000 people who come here, and there are nearly 10,000 foreign tourists.
So when Liu Dong and the others came here, they were immediately scalded by the bustling crowd in Panjiayuan.
"There are too many people here, and there are not so many people when our Quancheng Antique Street is the most lively!" Mu Gang said with a slight sigh.
Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded.
This kind of scene of crowding people, pushing people, and vendors and customers bargaining with their throats can only be encountered in my hometown when I catch up with the biggest annual fair in the town every year.
"Let's go, since you're here, why don't you go shopping!" Liu Dong said.
"Okay, Xiaodong, I'll go ahead in a while!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded. Mu Gang's huge physique makes people feel afraid when they look at it, and he can save a lot of effort by opening the way.
In addition, there are too many people here, and Liu Dong doesn't have time to look at them one by one. Instead, he directly boosted his ability to the maximum with a radius of 100 meters, and then followed behind Mu Gang and walked towards the stall where he couldn't see the edge at a glance.
As a result, after not taking a few steps, a few white spiritual lights appeared in Liu Dong's mind, but the spiritual light was not too strong, and the height was not enough. So Liu Dong didn't stop.
"Huh?" Liu Dong was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.
At that moment, he immediately grabbed Mu Gang, who was going to continue walking, "Brother Mu, here!" ”
With that, the two turned into another aisle, and after taking a dozen steps forward, they stopped in front of a stall full of jade.
The stall is not big, about three square meters together, but there are a lot of jade artifacts on the stall, and there are about 100 pieces of large and small together. In addition to the jade objects in the center of the stall, which look good at carving, but are actually mostly glasswork, in the left corner of the stall, there are more than 30 pieces of jade that are not very inconspicuous and stained with mud.
"What jade pendant do you want, you can pick it from me, it is all authentic Hetian jade, Yangzhou worker, good thing!" The stall owner is a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a somewhat thin face and a shrewd energy. Seeing Liu Dong and Mu Gang coming, he hurriedly got up and greeted.
"Hehe, let's take a look first!" Liu Dong said with a smile. After three years of mixing in Quancheng Antique Street, Liu Dong is clear in his heart for the Taoism in the antique shop. So for the words and deeds of the boss 'Wang Po selling melons', he went in and out of the left ear, and he didn't hear it.
It may be that he saw that Liu Dong was not good at fooling, so after the middle-aged boss said a few polite words, he beckoned the other guests to go.
Seeing this, Liu Dong first rummaged through one or two pieces of jade in the middle that looked like the light was shining and was actually embroidered pillows, and then turned to the pile of clay soil in the corner, which looked green and black, and was inconspicuous, and rummaged through it.
At this time, the middle-aged boss also noticed Liu Dong's movements. Then he smiled.
These jade objects were specially made by him, compared to the jade made of glass in the middle, these inconspicuous jades are real jade, but they are not very valuable, and the color on them is made up, and then some soil is sticked, in order to pit those who don't understand and plan to come to Panjiayuan Taobao to pick up the leaks. Often these people make the best money.
However, Liu Dong didn't care what the middle-aged boss thought, and after rummaging through this pile of jade, Liu Dong left three pieces of jade in his hand. One looks like an elliptical with a height of seventeen or eighteen centimeters, but a piece is missing from the top of the place, and the gap is also a little concave, and the whole piece of jade is black-green, which really does not look like a piece of jade.
The second one looked even worse, the palm was big, and the fairly thick piece of jade was covered with mud, and it was impossible to tell what it was where it was exposed.
Only the third piece is still like that, it is a carved dragon jade pendant, but the carving on it is not very good at first glance, and the scales on the dragon's body are of different sizes and irregular. With Liu Dong's eyes as a jade carver, looking at this jade is 'a fake'! However, his goal was not to be it in the first place, and it was just to confuse the public by picking out this dragon pendant at this moment.
"Boss, how do you sell these three jade pendants?"
Hearing Liu Dong's words, the middle-aged boss immediately came to his senses.
"Hehe, my brother has a good eye, and he picked out the three most valuable jade pendants in my stall at once! These three jade pendants in your hands are authentic Warring States jade pendants, and they have been more than 2,000 years since today, good things...... ”
"Okay, okay, boss, let's get down to business, how much are these three pieces of jade?"
Liu Dong hurriedly interrupted the middle-aged boss's self-selling boast, otherwise he would still be able to talk for five or six minutes, Liu Dong has limited time, but he doesn't have time to listen to him talk here.
Almost all of the people who can mix in Panjiayuan are human spirits, and after seeing the impatience on Liu Dong's face, the middle-aged boss stretched out a finger with a smile.
"A thousand?" Liu Dong asked.
"Hehe, my brother misunderstood, my Warring States jade pendant is more than this!"
"How much is that?"
"Hehe, not much, ten thousand!" The middle-aged boss smiled.
Seeing this, Liu Dong didn't say anything, and directly threw the three jade artifacts in his hand into the pile of jade pushes just now. Then he stood up and pulled Mu Gang away.
"Hey, don't go, brother! Shall we discuss it again? Noticing Liu Dong's movements, the middle-aged man hurriedly stood up, he didn't want to leave like this because of the wronged boss he had finally looked at.
Hearing his words, Liu Dong sneered in his heart, if he had hesitated a little just now, this middle-aged boss would definitely stretch out two more fingers and turn them into three pieces of jade for 10,000 each, this kind of method, he had seen it many times before in Quancheng.
Turning around, his eyes looked directly at the middle-aged boss, Liu Dong said in a cold tone: "Boss, I just bought these jade artifacts for my own play, and I didn't want to buy them too expensive." In addition, I also know a little bit about jade, and the carvers of those three pieces of jade can also be called Gao Guyu? ”
As if he didn't hear the whining in Liu Dong's mouth, the middle-aged boss still asked with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect the little brother to be an expert, disrespectful, disrespectful!" After a pause, "Then I don't know, how much do you plan to pay for these three pieces of jade?" (To be continued......)
