Li Yi put down the book he was holding in his hand and picked up the broken book that was broken, but because of this, he saw the broken book of the painting.

Looking at the page numbers, he saw that the book was not just missing the cover, but at least a dozen pages of the body text. But it was precisely because of the lack of these dozen pages that he happened to see this illustration, which has to be said to be providential.

After looking through it, he found that it was an old Italian book, so although he wanted to ask the boss what was written on it, he estimated that with his English level, he should not understand those professional words related to religion, so he had to give up for the time being.

He put the book aside, and then looked down, and soon, he found the two books, and then without even reading them, he just paid for them and bought them. Then he found out a fact, fortunately he didn't ask just now, because the boss's English level is not even as good as his, and when communicating, he actually relies on jumping words, and even the quotation is directly according to the calculator!

After finishing three books, Li Yi continued to read down. He found that porcelain was the focus of attention of Chinese tourists in the market, and basically, in front of every stall selling porcelain, there were Chinese people standing. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, is there really only porcelain for good things on the market?

It is true that it is not only porcelain, because he also found that some classic styles of antique watches are also the focus of attention, as well as some old leather goods. It will especially attract the attention of some Chinese female tourists.

Also, a new Gucci brand bag will cost at least a few hundred euros, available here. Eighty or ninety percent of the new, if you are lucky, you can get started with a few dozen euros, and it is indeed worth buying.

Li Yi doesn't have any special goals, and because he has already gained a lot, he looks more casual and has a stall with a lot of people. He basically just glanced at it from afar, and he didn't bother to go over and make a fuss.

Just stop and go, very quickly. He came to the middle of the market and saw a stall selling purple clay pots.

Although Europeans do not understand the art of tea, there are many Chinese and Japanese who have traveled to Europe in recent years. Therefore. He had also seen two stalls dealing in purple sand products before, but this one was obviously different.

Not only is the owner of the stall an Asian face, but a banner is also placed on the awning above the stall, on which two lines of large characters are written in Chinese and Japanese. Chen Mingyuan immediately sealed the Hou pot, and the fake one paid ten!

Not sure why. As soon as he saw this banner, Li Yi suddenly remembered the joke about shark fin rice that he had seen a few years ago.

The joke is very simple, it is about a person who saw a notice posted at the door of a hotel, shark fin rice is 18 yuan a piece, and the fake one pays ten!

A shark fin rice is only 18 yuan, which is really cheap, so the man went into the store and ordered one.

As a result, after it was served, he found that it was shark fin, and even the fans owed it, so he couldn't help but be furious, and slapped the table hard and shouted:

"Shark fin, what about shark fin?"

At this time, a big fat man in a chef's uniform walked out of the back kitchen majestically with a kitchen knife in his hand.

"I'm shark fin, who's calling me?"

The booth has a bit of that feeling now, because even though there are banners on it and there is a lot of traffic, many of the tourists who are attracted by the banners just stop and turn away.

This situation is very abnormal, so Li Yiming knew that it was likely to be a pit, but he still couldn't help but want to go over and take a look.

When he walked to the stall, he didn't need anyone to help explain, and he immediately understood the reason.

The things in this house are too expensive! And the so-called Chen Mingyuan immediately sealed the Hou pot used to attract tourists, and it was marked with a sky-high price of 2 million euros, and people were not ready to sell it at all!

Different from other stalls, there is a small paper sign next to each piece of purple sand ware in this house, which not only indicates the price, but also writes the words "refuse to bargain" in several languages at the same time.

Looking at the five-figure price tag of almost every piece, Li Yi also had an urge to turn around and leave.

Nima, this is the euro area, not the yen area, you purple clay pots that obviously look like new pots, and they actually ask for more than 10,000 euros, are you crazy about money or take everyone else as fools?

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly two Asian tourists, a man and a woman, came by, and the middle-aged man swept his eyes over the stall, and reached out to pick up a square purple sand box with a lid and landscape patterns painted on all sides.

Immediately, Li Yi heard him and his boss communicate a few words fluently in Japanese, then put down the square box, shook his head, and left.

Li Yi hadn't noticed the purple sand box before, but when he was reminded by the Japanese, he remembered that this should be a water finger.

The water finger is a prop used to hold water, and it is one of the most used items in tea ceremonies, especially in Japanese tea ceremonies.

Li Yi once saw a saying that once the Japanese sat on the tatami mat and ordered tea, they could no longer get up to get water. At this time, if the water in the tea kettle is not enough, or it is too hot, the water temperature needs to be adjusted, and the tea orderer needs to take water from the water finger.

In addition, the whisk after ordering tea needs to be cleaned simply, and this also requires the use of water from the water finger.

This thing is a rare thing to see in modern China, so he just glanced at it briefly and bent down to take it in his hand.

Holding the water finger in his hand and looking at it for a few seconds, Li Yi knew that this time he was afraid that he had encountered something good.

Because now although he has not used the spirit card, he does not know whose work this thing will be, but he can only see from the technique of the clay painting pattern on the four walls of the water finger that this is likely to be the work of a court purple sand master in the early Qing Dynasty.

Clay painting is a special technique that uses purple sand mud to turn into mud, and then uses the suction ability of the pot tire to carve and engrave on the wall of the purple sand pot, and pile up and paint patterns such as flowers and birds, landscapes and patterns. Through this technique. Skilled artists can often easily condense a relief perspective effect similar to thin carving on the surface of the purple clay pot.

This kind of clay decoration technology requires the maker to have a very deep artistic foundation such as calligraphy, painting, and plastering, so it is often not a master and cannot do it.

Clay painting decoration was popular in the early Qing Dynasty during the heyday of Qianlong. At that time, the court advocated the style of elaborate accumulation, showing off its wealth to the fullest, so it was often the division of labor between the pot maker and the painter, each showing the essence of their skills, which can be said to be at the expense of work.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, because of the decline of the country, coupled with the fact that commercial pots became the mainstream, in contrast. Clay painting decorative pots is labor-intensive and time-consuming, either shoddy or disproportionate to the pay. Therefore, it is gradually eliminated by the market.

The mud-painted purple clay pot is easy to peel off and mutilate the decorative picture of the pot body, and the shape of the pot and the decorative artistic conception are not appropriate, so there are very few fine products that can be handed down.

Although this water finger is not a purple clay pot, Li Yi's level of Chinese painting has long been different. Therefore, he can see it only from the clay painting technique. This should be a masterpiece.

This water finger is surrounded by landscape paintings, not only the picture is beautiful, the artistic conception is far-reaching, but also, through its superb skills, the maker uses different mud colors to create a shallow landscape-like painting effect on the picture, which is exquisite.

Li Yi was very satisfied with the things, but when he saw the price marked by the boss. I couldn't help frowning, this water finger. It turned out to be 120,000 euros!

In fact, if this thing can determine the age and maker, and can have a clear sense of the style to prove that it is indeed a master product of the Qing Dynasty, the price is not only not high, but also very cheap.

But herein lies the problem, because this piece of water is not worth it.

It's hard to be **** without money, since you are sure that things are really good, just use the spirit card.

Qing Qianlong purple mud color water water quadrangle water finger, Qian Zhenglin

Colored silk is a craft used on silk, and it is used to describe exquisite craftsmanship on purple sand ware, which actually refers to mud painting.

And Qian Zhenglin was a master of purple clay pots in the palace during the Qianlong period.

determined the age and maker of the purple sand water finger, and in Li Yi's opinion, this price should be the boss's eyes. Therefore, there was nothing to hesitate, after making sure that he did not give in to the price, he directly took out his bank card and swiped the card directly.

When the boss had just packaged the purple sand water fingers and handed them to Li Yi, the Japanese man who had just asked the price hurriedly ran over, and after exchanging a few words with the boss, he directly found Li Yi.

"Hello sir, may you let me see that water finger again?"

This Japanese speaks Mandarin very well, and he bows and laughs, and he behaves very politely.

Li Yi considered that now that the thing was in hand, even if he was allowed to see it, it should have no effect, so he just smiled and put the thing on the boss's stall.

It wasn't the man who was watching, but an old man with a lot of hair who came after him. It's just that the old man's face changed greatly as soon as he saw this water finger, and then he said a few words to the middle-aged man with a stern expression, and then the middle-aged man turned to Li Yi again.

"Sir, may I ask if this water finger of yours can be transferred to us?"

Li Yi shook his head.

"We increase the price, 150,000 ...... No, 200,000 euros! ”

Hearing the man's offer of 200,000 yuan, Li Yi was nothing, but the boss who sold him the water finger couldn't stand it a little.

I just sold it for 120,000 yuan, and I thought I was taking a big advantage, but I didn't expect my compatriots to come over to buy it in a blink of an eye, and it was only the first time I made an offer, and I actually reported 200,000 yuan......

Your sister, even if you want to slap your face, please stay away, okay? Lao Tzu had already tried his best to bid the price upward, but he didn't expect to let this cunning Chinese man take advantage of the loophole...... Yaga!
