After a few glances, the old man's eyes tightened, and he stepped forward and looked at the money and seal.

Then he stretched out his hand, coughed, and glanced at Tang Yi.

Tang Yi smiled, "If you clean your hands, you can try it." ”

The old man reached out and touched the paper on which he drew his heart.

"Not really." The old man said in a condescending tone, "However, it looks quite authentic." ”

Tang Yi was shocked, thinking that he couldn't see that this old man was a master, and he said it so bluntly. Just as he was about to speak, the old man said, "What price?" ”

"Since what you said is not true, what price do you ask?" Tang Yi was even more puzzled, but this was what he said in his heart, so he didn't say it, but got up and walked to the old man, and pointed to the label pinned to the bottom of the painting with a paper clip.

"Oh!" The old man may have been too focused on drawing just now to notice the "not for sale" label.

"It's better not to sell, this kind of imitation of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, although it came out of Yanjing, is not worth two dollars!" The old man hesitated slightly, and then spoke again.

Tang Yi almost didn't spit out the tea he drank, just now he saw that the old man was not young, and he hit the nail on the head, thinking that he had seen it through! It turned out to be a foggy flower. You said that you think it's imitation, just think it's okay, it doesn't matter if you can't say it, but there is another sentence from Yanjing in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a period of time, because the things of the palace flowed out a lot, so the antique paintings were particularly popular, especially the masters bought the old Ayazi and old ink, and after the imitation was made, it was carefully old, and a large number of "ancient paintings" were baked.

Among them, the Ming Dynasty, especially the Ming Dynasty, has the most, not only a lot of foreign devils, but also many of them have been collected by the Chinese people as genuine products, and they have been passed down to this day, and even a lot of such paintings can be seen, and there are also in the auctions and antique shops. If your eyesight is almost of a grade, you still buy it as a real painting.

It seems that this old man regarded this painting as something from those "ancient paintings".

Tang Yi saw that the old man said so bluntly, and he was not polite at the moment, "You are gone, although this painting is not for sale, it is not 'made through the back door'." ”

When the old man heard Tang Yi say "made through the back door", he couldn't help but glance at him.

The so-called "backdoor construction" is a major source of the batch of "ancient paintings" in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. How to say it, at that time, near the back gate of the Forbidden City in the Qing Dynasty, there was a shop that sold calligraphy and paintings, most of them were selling this kind of "ancient paintings", the bosses tacitly knew about each other, but they didn't know about it, and the treasure hunt was endless, and they were happy to pick and choose.

The old people in the antique circle, if they can see through it at a glance, like to call this imitation "made by the back door", also called "back door down". But nowadays relatively few people know about it. At that time, the antique masters had a very thick foundation, and there were really a lot of things that deceived experts.

Jin Shixi's painting skills are also soaked in decades, plus the use of old ink, looking for a master to make the old silk with the old mounter, the painting paper and vermilion are all old, the level of this fake painting is really not under the "back door made".

"You mean to see the truth?" The old man's eyes widened.

"I only said that I would not sell it, but I did not say whether it was true or not. Whether it's real or fake, it's just a decorative painting in my store. Tang Yi said with a smile.

"Hehe, don't sell! Okay, you're busy. After the old man finished speaking, he left Gebaoduo.

"Don't send it!" Tang Yi responded, thinking that this old man was a little nervous.

The front foot went out of Ge Baoduo, the old man looked back and saw that Tang Yi didn't follow, and walked a few steps quickly with the back foot into Yawanzhai.

"Huh? Old smoke, haven't seen you in a few days? Xu Kuan was drinking tea in Yawanzhai and got up to answer.

It turns out that this old man's nickname is Lao Soy Sauce, he was originally an old fiber puller, but he has stopped in the past few years, and he rarely walks around on the antique street.

The nickname of Lao Smoke has something to do with his style, he doesn't do business authentically, he makes a business, and he doesn't take a draw once, he always finds a trick to make a trick from the beginning, and he will smoke you again. That's how the nickname came from.

However, although the business of soy sauce is not authentic, the eyesight is poisonous, especially in porcelain. Calligraphy and painting are considered his weaknesses, but he can still throw out some so-called experts a few streets.

It is said that interest is the best teacher, but Lao Smoker doesn't think so. He felt that money was the best teacher.

A few years ago, soy sauce was supposed to introduce people to a business. The two pieces of porcelain turned out to be from the Song Dynasty, an incense burner from the kiln and a large pot from the kiln. The old draw saw that the owner of the goods was a half-bottle of vinegar, and the source was not right, and it was shipped from other places, so he had the idea of bad rules.

He told the original buyer that it was a high imitation of the Republic of China, and he was crooked, so that the buyer would buy it himself if he wanted to, and he threw down 5,000 yuan, which was considered an apology. The buyer is wealthy, so he naturally doesn't want this money, and thanks to the old man for helping him palm.

On the other hand, the old draw mortgaged the house, and hundreds of thousands of dollars collected these two pieces of precious porcelain from the Song Dynasty from the owner.

No one else knows how much money the old soy sauce made in the end, but the old soy sauce has since stopped. Such a greedy master, can he easily stop it?

It is rumored that the buyer knew about the old soy sauce, and the original thanks immediately became a shiny knife. Lao Smoker was helpless, spit out half of the money to the buyer, and swore a poisonous oath in front of the buyer that he would never do the business of pulling fiber again.

There is no way to verify whether this is true or not, but the old soy sauce does not walk around the antique circle since then, and occasionally goes out to shop, but also buys a few gadgets to play by himself. Therefore, Xu Kuan hasn't seen him for two or three years.

However, the old smoker doesn't have to worry about eating, drinking, and having fun. First, there are many years of saving, and second, there are many apprentices, and there are people who are filial to them during the New Year's holidays. The old Dong who was once used by Xu Kuan and sent Shen Zhou's imitation to Tang Yi was his apprentice.

Seeing Xu Kuan get up to say hello, he laughed and laughed, and even chattered, "It's cold, and there is no heating, what are these people from the heating company doing?" I don't know how to reduce the heating fee, and I can't look at the sky for heating, so I can't wait for time. My old arms and legs were almost frozen at home, and I came out for a stroll, and before I knew it, I was on this antique street. ”

Xu Kuan is not a fool, I think you can wander around, you don't pull the fiber now, you don't come to my store to drink tea, right? Something's got to be right.

"You are unforgettable, unforgettable. It's good to wander around, it's cold, business is not good, and when you're tired, we can still chat. Xu Kuan said with a smile.

Lao Smoker sat down, picked up a useless teacup by himself, and poured a cup of tea, "I heard that there is a young man named Tang Yi who has been thriving on this antique street recently. I just went to Gebao for a spin, this kid is a bit of a Taoist! ”
