The famous Ji Xiaolan has visited the stalls, Lu Xun has visited the stalls, Wang Shixiang has visited the stalls, people who like to collect antiques, who has not visited the stalls?

What's more, it's an antique stall in Hong Kong? I'm really sorry for myself if I don't go shopping. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

So, under the leadership of Hai Baichuan, Lin Yat and the big man traveled west along Hollywood Road, and soon arrived at the Man Mo Temple and Morro Street Antique Market in Sheung Wan.

It is said that this Moro Street is divided into two sections, and more than 30 antique shops have opened in the narrow alleys of the upper street. As Hai Baichuan said, the antique shops here are mainly stalls, similar to the thrift stalls in the mainland. Paper, ceramics, bronze, jade, stoneware and other materials, old clocks, old leather bags, bird cages, tiles, coins, old pens, old telephones, Mickey Mouse, Barbie dolls and other gadgets, stained with old edges and other gadgets.

There aren't many big things here, but it's easy to spend half a day looking for a silver plate or a small silver spoon or a small silver bell. Those porcelain from England are of good quality, practical and decorative, and the price is not too high, but it is not a set. If you can go shopping often, you might be able to make it up.

At this time, Lin Yi looked at so many dazzling antique ornaments on the stall, and he couldn't help but think of Mr. Ma Weidu, a collector in the mainland.

I remember clearly that Lin Yi once read in a book by Mr. Ma that back then, that is, in the 80s, Mr. Ma had been to Hong Kong once. At an antique shop on Hollywood Street, the owner took out a white bowl with the word "Ying" written on the bottom. Mr. Ma was very excited after reading it, because at first glance, it was Xingyao white porcelain, and the Xingyao white porcelain with the word "Ying" was all royal porcelain. But the shopkeeper didn't know and asked, "What does this word Ying mean?" Teacher Ma suppressed his excitement, pretended not to know, and said, "I don't know what it means, I like to write what I want!" As a result, Mr. Ma Weidu got this piece of imperial porcelain at a very low price, which was worth millions after appraisal.

This is a very inspirational story of antique spills. But today, it's hard to pick up the leak. Compared with mainland buyers who often came to Hong Kong's antiques street in the last century to find treasures and find leaks, this year they have often returned empty-handed, and even bought a large number of fakes to go back. Why is this happening, in Lin Yi's view, the imbalance between supply and demand is the fundamental reason for the rampant use of fakes. When the supply of collections exceeds demand, fakes will naturally appear,

Of course, for Lin Yi, what he appreciates the most is the books, calligraphy and paintings on those stalls, not the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, for the more advanced porcelain antiques, these deep waters, he only has a general look.

This is exactly what is going on, interlaced like a mountain, Lin Yi is still very self-aware, knowing that his knowledge has not yet reached the state of being able to do everything, so he can only pick up the things he knows how to do.

……

But after watching too much, it is inevitable that my heart is itchy and my hands are itchy, and Lin Yi is like this.

Hai Baichuan's eyes were very vicious, and when he saw the change in the expression on Lin Yi's face, he suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, since you come out to play, you have to be happy, if you fancy any treasure, just tell me, I will definitely help when I can." ”

Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, that ...... Came out in a hurry and forgot to bring cash......"

No wonder I haven't made a move, it turns out that this is the reason.

Hai Baichuan couldn't cry or laugh, he thought that this young man was full of concentration and was not tempted by what he was looking for.

Without waiting for Lin Yi to finish speaking, Hai Baichuan immediately said generously: "This is simple, I can invest 100,000 yuan in you...... Don't worry, what if you miss it? ”

As the saying goes, personal debts are the most difficult to repay, and Lin Yi doesn't want to inexplicably owe too much favors to Hai Baichuan.

So he smiled and said, "That's not necessary, I just want to borrow some from you, and I'll pay you back when I get back to ---the hotel."

Hai Baichuan still looks very happy, "How much?" ”

After Lin Yi weighed it, he said: "3,000 yuan is enough, if you have more, it will be boring." ”

Seeing that Lin Yi was willing to open his mouth to "borrow money", Hai Baichuan was already very happy, 3,000 yuan was just a drizzle for him, and he was doing this just to shorten the distance between him and Lin Yi and make a favor investment.

Lin Yi held 3,000 Hong Kong dollars in his hand, and he was full of confidence in his heart, and he fell in love with a stall next to the street, and immediately walked over.

……

Buying and selling at street stalls is the fun of Taobao.

Over the years, there have been occasional people with excellent luck who have found treasures here, thus realizing the myth of getting rich overnight, which has made many people blush.

However, although there are many treasures in the stalls of the antique street, there are many more fakes and fakes, and countless people buy and sell with the idea of getting rich overnight, and the result is that they lose all their money, which is extremely miserable.

Lin Yi stopped in front of the stall, and the boss saw a guest coming, glanced at it, and suddenly lost interest.

In Hong Kong dialect, people are old ghosts and ghosts, this boss is very shrewd, and his eyes are even more vicious, and he can know whether this person is poor or rich, whether he is rich or really rich.

Lin Yi was dressed very plainly, he took a look at it and knew that this kid was definitely a man with no money.

"Hou Shengzi, look at the rocks and wild feet (young man, what do you like)?" The boss was lying on a wicker chair and did not get up to pick up the customer, and asked lazily.

Lin Yi smiled, looked at the items on the stall to himself, and replied at the same time, "Just come and have a look." ”

The boss rolled his eyes, listening to the accent, it turned out to be a mainland boy, now the mainlanders are rich, and he has received a few here, he looks very generous, but they are all very picky, far worse than those ghosts.

Thinking of this, the boss simply ignored Lin Yi, if it wasn't for the rules, he really wanted to blow Lin Yi away directly, so as not to block him from doing business.

"Lonely guy, you also want to daydream about getting rich overnight?" The boss muttered, and did not deliberately lower his voice, obviously disliking Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was noncommittal, squatted down in front of the stall, and carefully looked at the antique ornaments placed on the stall, among which there were a few thread-bound books, Lin Yi went over and looked through a few times, and the boss advised: "Don't move, the old book is good, and it's easy to do if it's broken (don't move around, this book is very old, and it's not easy to do if it's broken." ”

Lin Yi didn't hear it, but saw that most of these books were some four books and five classics, and they were big road goods in thread-bound books, which didn't have much value. So there was a careful way to put it back.

There are also a few calligraphy and paintings, but they are rolled, according to the tone of this boss, it is impossible to open them and look at them carefully, there is no reason to find such bad luck.

So Lin Yi had no choice but to set his eyes on other antiques, and soon, his eyes were attracted by a porcelain bowl, no, to be precise, attracted by the broken paper that wrapped the porcelain bowl, and a wisp of old paper fragrance wafted into his nose.

Faintly, it seems to be a little interesting. (To be continued.) )
