Chapter 49 The Antique Market

Masaki looked at the antique market in front of him, there were many big shops in it, but most of them were set up stalls everywhere, it was only nine o'clock in the morning, and there were already a lot of people who came to sell. He took a breath and walked in, most of the antique market is elderly, and there are young people, but most of the young people are just looking at it, rarely staying in front of a stall for more than a few minutes, and most of the purchases are handicrafts, and the price is only a few yuan, relatively cheap, far from being a valuable collection, and those who squat or stand on the side of the stall are often elderly, some still hold a coin-sized magnifying glass in their hands, carefully screening, and some are still talking to the vendor owner about the price, these people are probably the main consumers of the market。

Masaki was dazzled by the antique objects all over the ground, there are many types of collections on the market, it can be said that almost all the collections that can be thought of can be found here, but the real and fake are the two to say, Masaki looked at the jade, bronze, coins, wood, porcelain, silver, miscellaneous pieces, calligraphy and paintings, villain books...... There are too many types, and Masaki is confused.

The unspoken rule of the antique market is that there are both true and false, all by the buyer's discerning eyes, it is not impossible for Bosa to get old objects by panning for gold, and it is even more common to buy imitations without paying attention.

Zhengji turned around for a long time, and found nothing, so he had no choice but to follow behind an old man, ready to see how these old people hunted for treasures, and learned from their own experience, maybe they were lucky enough to find one or two.

The old man looked back at Zhengji who was wearing sunglasses, sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but cover his pocket with money, he had nothing to do, he was idle, and he was wearing sunglasses.

Masaki looked at the old man's eyes and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he also knew the old man's worries, and couldn't help crying and laughing, so he had to take off his sunglasses and smile at the old man, anyway, the old people generally don't know themselves, and they don't have to be too careful.

Sure enough, when the old man saw Masaki's young face, his heart was half relaxed, he didn't look like a bad person, and those eyes were quite godly, the old man had traveled all his life to the north and south, and he had seen all kinds of people, so he could detect at a glance that Masaki's appearance did not look like a person with a bad heart, so he smiled at Masaki and said: "Young man, don't go to work?"

Masaki smiled and said bluntly: "I'm going to visit an elder today, and I don't know what gift to buy, so I want to come to the antique market to see if there are any old people like to buy two, but I don't know much, I see that you are an expert, so follow you to see."

"Oh, I see, it's true, inexperienced people like you are easy to be deceived, since you want to follow, then I'll take you around, anyway, it's idle, just help you, junior. ”

Zhengji hurriedly nodded in thanks: "Then thank you, grandpa, I'm sorry for your trouble."

So, the two of them walked around the antique market, and the old man pointed to the objects on the ground from time to time to explain to Zhengji, and Zhengji also benefited a lot from listening to it.

"Xiao Zheng, look at this sprinkling Guanyin wood carving statue, at first glance, this wood carving looks like an old object of the Ming Dynasty from its pulp, style, shape, carving work, right," the old man looked at Zhengji and said.

Masaki nodded, waiting for the following.

"The carving of this wood carving is a first-class level, but it is a pity that the person who fakes it does not know very well, just imitate its shape and go to its meaning, sprinkle Guanyin is also called dripping Guanyin, its shape ah one hand holds a bottle for drainage, one hand to do the seal, or hold the form of willow, but in front of you this sprinkler Guanyin you notice not, she is holding a net bottle in both hands, such a mistake, with the ancient people's admiration for Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is impossible to appear" The old man explained to Zhengji.

It dawned on Masaki that the simple principle could be discovered just by being careful.

The stall owner where the two of them were located had a dark face, and said to the old man with a bitter face: "Brother Qi, can you not reveal my bottom, I still count on supporting my family, you talk about this, who still comes to me to buy it, you raise your noble hand and spare me."

Old man Qi smiled and said, "Come on, I don't know you kid, I have made a lot of money with this, let me tell you that one or two can make you bankrupt?"

The stall owner looked at Old Man Qi helplessly, because Old Qi was an old man in the market, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Zhengji felt a little embarrassed, after all, it was bad for other people's business, although he listened to it, he also felt that he couldn't bear it, so he asked the old man Qi: "Old Qi, this old brother is not easy to do business, you see what valuable real things he has, if the price is reasonable, I will buy it, anyway, I want to give it to the elders, I have no experience in buying anyone, you give the palm of the eye, I listen to you." ”

The stall owner glanced at Zhengji gratefully and said: "This young man is good, I won't be blinded by you, I will give you a few pieces of genuine goods for you to see, I don't have many who can get my hands on it, if you like it, I won't pit you." ”

After speaking, the stall owner took out a few items from the big black bag on the side, Qi Lao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Good boy, there are really a lot of decent things." ”

After speaking, Qi Lao glanced at Zhengji and said, "Young man, you can see for yourself first, and I'll give you a slap after reading it."

Zhengji also wanted to try his hand, so he stepped forward to observe carefully, there were three objects in front of him, a colorful snuff bottle, a costume book, and a wood carving, he picked up the snuff bottle, looked at it carefully for a long time, the color was bright, not like ancient, but he didn't dare to confirm it, and picked up the costume book and flipped through it, and couldn't see why, and finally picked up the wood carving, turned upside down, the weight was quite heavy, Zhengji hesitated to look at the three things in front of him, and felt that he couldn't start.

Looking at the teasing expression of the old man Qi, Zhengji suddenly had an idea, why don't you try it with a writing wheel, if you can see it?

After the sunglasses, Masaki opened his eyes directly to the kaleidoscope, the big windmill-like magatama slowly rotated, Masaki carefully stared at the items in front of the stall, trying to find something, suddenly, Masaki found a difference, there are a few items on the stall in the display of the writing wheel eye exudes a faint light as if it is energy, and the wood carving is particularly outstanding, the light is much larger than the others, Masaki is happy, I have heard that ancient objects will have an invisible aura, or energy, I didn't expect the writing wheel eye to see the energy, although he didn't plan to make a fortune from antiques, but one more ability is not a good thing, I just don't know what other abilities I haven't discovered by myself.

After a while, Masaki's eyes returned to normal, he took off his glasses, picked up the wood carving again, looked through it carefully, this wood carving is black as a whole, shining outward, it is a sitting statue of Maitreya Buddha, although it is only the size of a palm, but it is extremely heavy, but it is covered with oil and mud, and even the face of Maitreya Buddha is a little unclear, he holds the wood carving in his hand and says: "That's it." ”

The glint in Qi Lao's eyes flashed, and he asked Zhengji with determination: "Are you sure? I can't say it before paying the money, after all, I can't let Wang Xiaozi suffer."

Masaki nodded and said, "It's confirmed."

Qi Lao suddenly sighed and said: "The old rule, pay the money first, and then I'll tell you", after speaking, he said to the stall owner, "Wang Xiaozi, the price of this wood carving, you give him a price."

The stall owner glanced at Qi Lao, looked at Zheng Ji, and said: "Since it is the person brought by Qi Lao, I will also give a sincere price, 5,000 yuan, and this little brother will take it."

Qi Lao didn't speak, and looked at Zhengji.

Zhengji didn't hesitate at all, nodded, and reached out to withdraw the money, but was embarrassed to find that his cash was not enough, so he asked: "Boss, I don't have enough money, where is there an ATM near here, can I go and withdraw some money?"

The boss thought for a while, glanced at Qi Lao and said, "Yes, there is a bank at the entrance of our market, you can go, I will keep the things for you." β€œ

Qi Lao also said: "You go, I'll help you watch too, with me, there will be no problems." ”

Masaki said thank you and trotted to get the money.
