Chapter 205: Antique Shops Abroad
This is a typical American-style antique shop, with a variety of antiques in the store, but the store is disorganized. Whether it's because of America's history of just over 200 years or because it's a cosmopolitan city, the store is home to artifacts from different cultures around the world. And most of them belong to the cultural relics of China.
Both Qiu Lin and Chen Feihao visited such an antique shop for the first time, and they were a little uncomfortable at first, but after two minutes, the two of them were attracted by those antiques full of historical vicissitudes in different styles.
After entering the store, there was no clerk or the owner of the store to ask, and at the innermost counter, a man in his sixties wearing a pair of reading glasses looked up at the two of them and did not look at them again, but lowered his head and did not know what he was doing.
Qiu Lin first wanted to know how those antiques from China were in good condition, the humiliating history of more than 100 years in modern times has made many things that have condensed the efforts of the ancestors flow out of the country, and have become an eternal pain in the hearts of the people.
Also thinking the same as Qiu Lin is Chen Feihao, this kind of red child with red roots may be more concerned about these.
The two of them walked towards the shelves full of Chinese-style cultural relics, there were as many as five such shelves, and you must know that there were only eight shelves for antiques in this store.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, this is an international metropolis, and there are relatively few antique shops of this scale, this antique store is relatively famous in this area, and there are naturally more people who are attracted to it, no matter how many good things in the store have basically been picked up by others.
The remaining ones that are not of much value are also clearly marked where to put them, and this price is not one or two points higher than that in China, and it is worthless to buy such things back, but to send money to the people here, so Qiu Lin and Chen Feihao's disappointment is doomed.
Chen Feihao: "Xiaolinzi, this antique shop shouldn't be a lie, except for those with price tags, even I can see that they are ordinary handicrafts!" ”
Qiu Lin said: "It's not enough to deceive people, but there should really be no good things." This is not surprising, the location of this store is not biased, the scale is quite large, and it is in the international capital, and the people who come and go are rich people, and good things should be picked up! ”
Chen Feihao said: "Then we didn't come for nothing, can this kind of store still flow any good things to us?" ”
Qiu Lin shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily, there should always be something that others haven't noticed!" ”
Saying that, Qiu Lin unfolded the treasure eyes and began to search, after the last upgrade, the treasure eyes have been able to cover an area of 100 meters, although this store is more than 200 square meters, but the items in Huaxia occupy only a hundred square meters.
As soon as the treasure eyes opened, Qiu Lin's world became different in an instant, some things that are usually invisible to the naked eye are now appearing in his mind, and some places that are easy to be ignored are not hidden at the moment, and more importantly, the treasure eyes can now show some important information related to each item, which is the most incredible.
What Qiu Lin's mind now had was all the items and information within a hundred meters of his location.
Since he had Bao Eye, Bao Mu didn't know how much he had helped Qiu Lin, if there was no Bao Eye, there would be no Qiu Lin today, every time he used Bao Eye it did not disappoint Qiu Lin, and this time it was no exception!
Although Qiu Lin felt that he had looked carefully enough on these five shelves, although his current eyesight was not as good as that of Chen Lao, he should be able to see the authenticity of most of the items, but now the things presented by Baoyan once again made Qiu Lin feel that he still had a lot to learn.
Because in the treasure eyes, Qiu Lin has seen that the three things are placed in the same way as ordinary handicrafts, but what is shown is a golden abacus, 1367 Shen Fu; tile inkstone, 200 BC; Tree cherry purple clay pot, 1560 for spring. Seeing this information, Qiu Lin was shocked, tile inkstone is nothing, although there are few surviving people, although the price is high, but after all, there are still some of them, Shen Fuzhi's abacus is very worth exploring. The name of Shen Fu may not be known to ordinary people, but when it comes to Shen Wansan's name, it is definitely thunderous in Huaxia, synonymous with wealth, and it is this person who is rich and rivals the country, but it is a pity that his fate is not good to meet a moody emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang. His cornucopia is something that everyone who wants to get rich dreams of, of course, the cornucopia is not a big deal, but his golden abacus is in front of his eyes, if it is passed out, Qiu Lin believes that there will definitely be many rich people fighting for it.
But what surprised Qiu Lin the most was the purple sand pot for spring, according to legend, for the spring is the first generation of purple sand pot making masters, and there is even a legend that he is the founder of the purple sand pot, and he should make a lot of pots in his life, but the world does think that the purple sand pot he made is only a tree cherry purple sand pot in the National History Museum of China, but there is another one here, and it is also a tree cherry pot, how can this not surprise Qiu Lin?
Such a purple clay pot can definitely be called a national treasure, but now that it has appeared here and the pearl is covered with dust, Qiu Lin doesn't know whether to be happy or sad.
At this time, Chen Feihao had already run to the other three shelves, so Qiu Lin hurriedly walked to the tree gall pot, from the image of Bao Yan, he should have been pressed under other handicrafts, Qiu Lin saw that this tree gall pot was not only pressed under some other handicrafts but also covered with dust, fortunately, there was no damage.
When Qiu Lin took the purple clay pot in his hand, he finally understood why he would be dusty, first of all, its shape is weird, full of nodules, although it is well handled, but the first impression is not very good, it is easy for people to ignore, and secondly, there are a few drops of water droplets like hard objects hanging on it, which makes people feel that they are not processed from the handicraft factory assembly line when they see it, but Qiu Lin knows that these things are later thought to be made, in order to hide people's eyes. But in Qiu Lin's hands, Qiu Lin saw that its shape was natural, simple and heavy, and the faint appearance of finger threads added to its charm.
Qiu Lin was excited in his heart, but he was very calm on the surface, and even took two steps forward to pick up the thing that looked like a coffin lid, and finally bypassed a row of shelves to the place of the golden abacus, this golden abacus was also disguised, and the surface was mottled with a layer of red and blackened paint, and the feeling in his hand was not metal-like texture, but just a wood-like touch, if it wasn't for the wrong weight, Qiu Lin would have doubted the treasure eyes. At this time, Qiu Lin could only sigh in his heart at the superb wisdom of the ancients, and the disguise could be done to this extent!
Then Qiu Lin went around to the other three shelves, followed the guidance of Bao Yan and took two more things in his hand, and then said to Chen Feihao: "Little mouse, go, check out and leave!" ”
Chen Feihao was a little speechless when he saw the five or six things Qiu Lin was holding in his hand, these looked inconspicuous and all fake, I don't know why Qiu Lin wanted them. However, since Qiu Lin chose to naturally have Qiu Lin's reason, Chen Feihao would not say anything, not to mention that Qiu Lin had already glanced at him, Chen Feihao naturally knew how to cooperate.
Qiu Lin took several things in his hand, walked to the old man who had been burying his head at the counter, and said in English: "Hello, how much does it cost?" ”
The old man glanced up at Qiu Lin, then scratched a few of the items in Qiu Lin's hand, and said, "The things I have here, except for those that have already been priced, are all five thousand dollars a piece!" ”
Qiu Lin said quietly: "Then please help me wrap it, I want all of these!" ”
The old man moved very quickly, took out a few boxes from under the counter, threw the things in Qiu Lin's hand into them, and said, "A total of five pieces, one piece is five thousand, a total of twenty-five thousand dollars, thank you!" ”
Qiu Lin took the card on his body to the old man to brush, and when everything was done, Qiu Lin took the box in the old man's hand, and then asked, "Boss, is there any new news about antiques in New York recently?" I want to buy some of your Western antiques and give them back to my father! ”
The old man said, "Didn't you already buy it?" What else are you asking for? ”
Qiu Lin said with a smile: "Boss, let's not talk darkly, what about the few things I just bought, boss, you know better than me in your heart, if I give this writing thing to my father, he will definitely break his leg, these are just I bought it and installed it in front of my friends!" ”
The old man probably also knew the thoughts of some young people in Huaxia, so he smiled knowingly, but he would never admit that there was something wrong with his things: "The things I have here are all good things, but money can't buy them outside." You will definitely not lose face in front of your friends when you take it out. ”
Qiu Lin said: "Boss, you're boring, I heard that you have good things here, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect the boss to fool me with this kind of goods, it seems that the money in your hand can't be spent!" ”
The shopkeeper obviously knew that the spending power of the Chinese people was famous all over the world recently, so he was naturally unwilling to lose such hospitality as Qiu Lin. So he laughed and said, "Hey man, my store isn't the biggest in New York." But the small shop is complete, I have everything you want, even if I don't see it now, as long as you ask for it, I dare to guarantee that it will be available within a month! ”
Qiu Lin sighed and said, "Oh, I don't really want anything, I just want to buy some good things to go back." In this way, you are in this business, you should know if there are any peerless treasures on the market recently that have opened my eyes? ”
The shopkeeper looked at Qiu Lin carefully and made sure that he was not here to entertain himself, so he said, "News, there is one!" ”
Qiu Lin pretended to be excited and said, "What is it?" You can rest assured that your benefits are absolutely indispensable! (To be continued.) )
