Chapter 379 The thousand-year-old porcelain capital
Chapter 379 Millennium Porcelain Capital
When he got off the plane and really walked into the downtown area of Jingdezhen, Li Yang felt the atmosphere of the porcelain capital here.
In terms of porcelain trade, Jingdezhen may not be the first now, and the name of the porcelain capital may also be snatched by others, but in terms of porcelain culture alone, this is the porcelain capital that no city in the world can match.
When he sat in the taxi and had not yet arrived at the hotel, Li Yang saw porcelain signs on both sides of the surrounding road, and in each store, even if it had nothing to do with porcelain, several exquisite ornamental porcelain would be placed in a conspicuous place.
"Two little brothers, it's your first time coming to Jingdezhen."
The taxi driver suddenly asked, Li Yang turned his gaze back from the outside, looked at the taxi driver in surprise, and asked softly, "How did you see it?" ”
"I've been driving a taxi for more than ten years, and I've received at least a thousand different passengers from all over the country, and you can tell at a glance that it's your first time to Jingdezhen, and only first-time visitors will be so curious about everything around you."
The taxi driver looked behind him in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, this driver looks like he is in his thirties, and if he has really driven for more than ten years, he has been driving since he was very young.
Li Yang looked at the taxi driver, and suddenly remembered Yang Zhigang in his heart, and that honest man didn't know what to do now.
"You're amazing, you guessed right, it's the first time we've come, brother, what's your surname?" Li Yang asked with a smile.
"My surname is Cai, and my friends call me Lao Cai, two little brothers, did you come to Jingdezhen for business or pleasure? If you're going to play, I can tell you a few really good places, and if you're doing business, I can also show you a few cheaper places where you can make more money."
Lao Cai, the driver of the rough car, was very talkative, and he never stopped after opening the chatterbox. In fact, these taxi drivers who drive to face different customers every day usually talk a lot, sometimes the passengers talk to them, and some they ask the passengers to take the initiative to chat when they are bored.
"We're just coming to see" Liu Gang pursed his lips and smiled, and then answered.
"See?" Lao Cai raised his head and looked at Li Yang and the two of them from the mirror, and suddenly showed a hint of surprise: "You are here to Taobao, but it doesn't look like you are so young."
"Taobao, what Taobao?" Li Yang immediately asked in surprise.
"It's an antique, aren't you? That's weird, I really don't see what you're here for, you don't look like students at your age, you can't come to school, do you? ”
Lao Cai shook his head suspiciously, and continued to hold his steering wheel, Li Yang and Liu Gang glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness and smile in each other's eyes.
What are they doing here, Li Yang really can't say, they were sent by the old man, but there are no specific tasks and jobs, it's okay to say it's to play, it's okay to say it's to do business, or even to Taobao.
In short, Li Yang didn't come to Jingdezhen for any purpose at all, if he did, it was to see if he was lucky enough to find the location of the fake kiln factory, and to see the firing process of these porcelains by the way, so as to learn more knowledge.
Li Yang looked at Lao Cai, who was driving in front of him, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked with a smile: "Lao Cai, do you outsource this car?" ”
"Bags? Of course, outsourcing, this little brother, do you want to charter a car? ”
Lao Cai finally turned his head once, and after glancing at Li Yang, he immediately turned around again, and it was taboo to turn around when driving.
"With this idea, how much will it cost you to pack this car for a day?"
Li Yang said with a smile, Lao Cai's taxi is an ordinary Jetta, not comfortable, according to Li Yang's original plan to rent a better car here. However, after thinking of the benefits that Yang Zhigang brought to them in Ruili, and seeing that this old Cai in front of him was so talkative, Li Yang changed his mind again.
"It depends on how you run, if you are only in the city, you will have to be at least 600 a day, and you will run more long distances, and you have to start at least 800, and it depends on where you go."
"Okay, I'll charter your car now, I'll give you eight hundred a day, promise not to leave Jingdezhen City, if there is a long distance out of Jingdezhen, I will add money to you"
Li Yang smiled and nodded, eight hundred a day is not too high, Ruili rents Lao Yang's van for a thousand yuan a day, renting Lao Cai's car, at least there is a familiar guide in Jingdezhen, which can save them a lot of trouble.
…………
Before dawn the next morning, Li Yang got up early, and Lao Cai was already waiting for them at the door of the hotel in a car.
Yesterday, Li Yang directly gave Lao Cai 5,000 yuan, which is considered a deposit, and Lao Cai's car doesn't have to run out to work recently, just to serve Li Yang.
Lao Cai is very satisfied with this, the price of 800 chartered cars is already very high, and he can still earn a lot of money by removing fuel money, which is much better than working hard to pick up and scatter work everywhere.
Li Yang rented this car, and what he wanted was not a car, but Lao Cai. In yesterday's chat, Li Yang found that Lao Cai is indeed a very potential guide, he is a native of Jingdezhen, and he has driven a taxi here for more than ten years, and there is almost nothing he doesn't know.
Yesterday, as soon as Li Yang mentioned that he was also interested in antiques, Lao Cai immediately suggested that Li Yang go to the antique morning market the next day, and the antique morning market in Jingdezhen is a major feature.
Antique market, there is a night market, there is a ghost market and a night market, this morning market Li Yang is the first time to hear of it. Lao Cai's mention of it aroused Li Yang's interest, and they immediately made an appointment to go over early tomorrow morning.
The antique morning market in Jingdezhen is very distinctive, there are every day, the sky is just slightly bright when the stalls are full, and the three poles of the sun are gradually dispersed.
What surprised Li Yang the most was that there was more than one place in the antique morning market in Jingdezhen, and the largest antique morning market was in the Guomao Ceramics Market, which was still a little far from the hotel where Li Yang lived, so Lao Cai came to pick up Li Yang early in the morning.
Although the antique morning market in Jingdezhen is open every day, the most lively is still every Monday, unfortunately today is not Monday, but Li Yang just wants to see and know, and the day is not particularly concerned.
Li Yang: When they set off, the sky was just beginning to shine, and by the time they arrived, it was already completely white.
After getting out of the car, Li Yang immediately found this open-air stall market, which is a large open space square, surrounded by low bungalows, if Lao Cai hadn't told Li Yang in advance, I'm afraid Li Yang would treat this place as a farmers' market.
With the popularity of collecting in recent years, Jingdezhen's antique morning market has become more and more famous, and even if it's not a Monday, there are still a lot of vendors and customers here. Some people are squatting on the ground, carefully looking at the bottles and cans on display, to see if they can hit the big luck and pick up the leak and come across a real antique porcelain.
"Boss, this is it, today is not Monday, there are more people here on Monday, and the whole place is crowded with people!"
Lao Cai stood in front of Li Yang and said proudly, there are a lot of vendors and people in the market, but it is far from crowded.
But since you came, it is impossible to leave immediately, Li Yang has always been very curious about the antique market in Jingdezhen, this is a thousand-year-old porcelain capital, and any ** porcelain in history can make a lot of genuine products here, maybe you really have good luck to find one or two pieces.
"Let's go in and have a look"
Li Yang smiled, and walked quickly towards the market, although there are not too many people, but there are not many stalls, so many stalls are almost all porcelain from a distance, such a special porcelain antique morning market, in the whole country, only Jingdezhen can appear.
The first antique stall near Li Yang was filled with some very ordinary small bowls or wine jugs and the like, there was no major movement, and the shapes were extremely ordinary, and a few even had punches or small knocks.
Seeing the physiognomy of these things, Li Yang couldn't help but shake his head, these things were extremely ordinary.
Without special ability, Li Yang can also see the things in front of him, a total of about fifty or sixty pieces of porcelain, of which only three or four are a bit old, which are old things, and the rest are all new, and they all seem to be not very old porcelain.
After a few glances, Li Yang left the stall, those few old things were not Li Yang's liking, and Li Yang was not even interested in asking the price.
Walking forward two stalls, Li Yang suddenly squatted down, in front of this stall in front of him were hundreds of pieces of porcelain fragments, Jingdezhen's antique morning market not only sold complete porcelain, but also a large number of stalls selling ancient porcelain fragments.
Compared with those whole pieces of porcelain, the number of genuine pieces in these porcelain fragments is much higher, but most of them are ordinary fragments of low value, no more than ten yuan a piece, and the more expensive ones are one or twenty yuan a piece.
It's a pity that Li Yang is not interested in these, he shook his head and stood up again, Bai Ming may choose to go back when he comes here.
"Boss, don't you like these things?"
Lao Cai suddenly came up and whispered, Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
"If you want to see something better, there is actually another place, which is nearby, but the things there are correspondingly more expensive"
Lao Cai said with a smile, Li Yang glanced at him stunned, and then shook his head helplessly: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"It's not that I didn't say it, it's that you didn't ask."
Lao Cai waved his hand aggrievedly, Li Yang and Liu Gang both looked too young, not like a real antique lover, Lao Cai thought they were just here to have fun at first, so he brought them to this place, in fact, he wanted not to let them spend money in vain.
Although there are many fake things in the antique morning market, most of the fake things are sold at fake prices, and the price of a bowl from the Jiajing official kiln is only a few dozen yuan, and you can buy it at a bargaining price of one or twenty yuan. So the person who bought it knows that it is all fake or willing to buy it, even if it is fake, you can go back and show off as a work of art, maybe you can fool a few people who don't understand, and show your elegance.
