Chapter 153: Tao Old Mansion

The rain stopped, the sky was blue, and I knew that in the summer after the rain, I screamed even harder. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ye Jinglan made an appointment with Meng Yi to go to the old house together, and at the appointed time, she was driven by Zhang Xia to Meng Yi's antique shop.

At the door of the antique shop, there is a green pickup truck, which is also a veteran must do, if you are shopping for old houses, you encounter furniture or something, and you will not be good at driving a car.

Since the rise of the antique craze in the 80s, the activity of digging old houses has become popular. At that time, the antique craze had just begun, many people did not have the concept of antiques, and few people faked, as long as they found some old houses and bought some old objects, they basically did not have to worry about big eyes.

But flies don't bite seamless eggs, as long as they find a business opportunity, scammers will definitely step in, many scammers will rent old houses in lively places, and then arrange some high-quality imitations, and even let experts eye.

Because when digging out the old house, many people don't think of the word liar, but think more that it is an ancestral heirloom, so they are not so vigilant, and it is easier to be eye-catching.

After so many years of development, people who like to dig old houses have formed a consensus that Zhao's old mansions try to find more remote and lively old mansions, which are often minefields.

"It's good that the rain has stopped, otherwise I would have had to change the day! How about eating breakfast or not? Would you like two buns too? Meng Yi beckoned Ye Jinglan into the room and asked with a smile.

"No need, senior brother, I've eaten it." Ye Jinglan shook her head and said, she ate very much in the morning.

"Okay, let's get in the car, I'm wasting time on the leftovers in the car." When Meng Yi spoke, he asked his driver to start the car.

Then there was a retired soldier who went with them, as a bodyguard, firstly because they had a lot of cash on them, but they were afraid of running into ****.

After the car started, Meng Yicai said: "There are a lot of people who have gone to the old house recently, but there are not many who have found good things, I hope we can have good luck today." ”

It's not always possible to pick up the leaks in the old mansion, unless you have a certain source and know who and where there is indeed a good thing, Meng Yi just got the news this time.

"Senior brother, you know that I have always been lucky, and I must be fine today." Ye Jinglan felt that her luck was still good, although she didn't find anything too good on Hong Kong Island, but she met her uncle, which was a big gain.

"That's right, your luck is so enviable that I hope I can touch your light today." Although Meng Yi said this, he didn't expect Ye Jinglan too much, and brought her here this time to let her learn and see.

After an hour's drive, Ye Jinglan and the others came to an old courtyard that was about to be demolished.

The person who opened the door for Ye Jinglan was an old man in his seventies, and he didn't seem surprised by their arrival at all: "It was introduced by Lao Qu!" Come on in. ”

Entering the gate, Meng Yi hurriedly took out two boxes of cigarettes and said, "It's Old Man Qu who said that you have a set of mahogany furniture and want to sell." ”

The old man smiled and took his cigarette, and led the group to the hall of the main hall, where there were four carved mahogany Taishi chairs, two small coffee tables, and a mahogany table carved with dragon patterns. It seems that this set of furniture is indeed quite old, the pulp is very natural, and the carving process is also smooth, and you can know that it is hand-carved at a glance.

Although Ye Jinglan was not interested in this kind of large item, she still looked at it seriously.

The old man proudly pointed to this set of furniture and said, "This is the one in front of me, which is said to have been handed down by my grandfather's grandfather, and it is an heirloom of our family." However, it was not very convenient to move to the building later, so things were still handled well. ”

Meng Yi also understood this situation very well, and there must be other reasons to sell this set of furniture, but this had little to do with Meng Yi, he walked into the hall and did not sit down, but looked at the furniture, and suddenly said: "Uncle, this furniture is not enough, at least two chairs and a coffee table are missing." ”

The old man smiled and said cheerfully: "This is indeed six chairs, but then there are two less, which is a bit of a pity, but in that era, it was already good to be able to keep it, and this set of furniture was also hidden by me in the countryside to my relatives' house to escape." ”

"Although this thing is not a set, it is definitely an old thing, and you are not the only one who sees this thing. I'll pay a price, 20,000 yuan, if you feel right, take it away, or you can see if something else is suitable. ”

Meng Yi is a businessman after all, and when he saw this situation, he said with a smile: "Let's talk about the furniture later, let's take a look at other things first, if there are still suitable things, let's calculate the price together." ”

This set of furniture is just the beginning, and Meng Yi got the news that there are still a lot of antiques in this uncle's house.

Hearing Meng Yi say this, the old man also felt that he had just spoken a little too tough, so he said happily: "These two pieces of porcelain in my hall, if you look at them, if you like them, take them, the price is easy to say, after all, they were introduced by Lao Qu." ”

When Meng Yi came in, he had already seen the two pieces of porcelain in the hall: a blue and white plum vase with a hundred pictures, and a square vase with three stars of Fu Lu Shou, at a glance, he knew that it was a folk kiln of the Qing Dynasty, the glaze was not very pure, and the price was certainly not too high.

Meng Yi didn't put this kind of porcelain in his eyes, he shook his head and said: "Forget these porcelain, the folk kiln, there is no big collection value, it can only be placed in the study and living room for decoration, old man, I heard that your ancestor was an official, so I came here." ”

Ye Jinglan was very interested when she heard Meng Yi say this, and looked at it carefully, thinking in her heart, even if it is in poor condition, even if it is from the Qing Dynasty, it may not be worth more than that of the Republic of China, it should be the current situation.

"Haha, okay, let's go inside." The old man smiled and led the person into the inner hall.

Meng Yi took a fancy to the bed in the room at a glance, "The whole pear is made of bone, and each middle circle is hollowed out with boxwood openwork into a fine floral pattern." The bone is embedded in the middle row of plates, and the layers are inlaid with fine white bone, which is extremely time-consuming. This kind of craft is called seven bends, which means that there are seven bends in layers from top to bottom, and each edge is painstakingly done! This kind of craft alone cannot be imitated by machinery now, and this kind of craft is more common in the north. ”

"Okay! The young man knows the goods, and I don't want much, this bed is 30,000 yuan, which is also a fixed price. The old man said the reserve price in his heart.

"Uncle..."The reserve price in Meng Yi's heart was 20,000, so the next step was naturally to bargain. (To be continued.) )
