Chapter 178: Antique Market
Of course, Nianhua wants to join in the fun, she doesn't expect a museum or anything, and going to that kind of place depends on her identity. But the antique street is indeed a good place to visit, and she wants to see it!
Therefore, when Qi Lao came back from going out, as soon as he sat down on the sofa, Qi Yueyue couldn't wait to step forward and pull his arm, "Grandpa is home~"
This coquettish voice......
Qi Lao's body unexpectedly had a layer of goosebumps, and his granddaughter rarely spoiled him, and she never coquetted like now...... Abnormal!
Nianhua also hurriedly stood beside Qi Yueyue, lowered his eyebrows and looked quiet and obedient.
As if remembering something, she stepped forward and made a cup of tea for Qi Lao, and smiled sweetly: "Grandpa Qi, please drink tea, this is my own tea, or warm, you taste it, smooth and smooth." ”
Yueyue's girl is strange, even a sensible child like Nianhua is not right. Looking at the eyes of the two of them again, Qi Lao smiled clearly, deliberately pretended not to know anything, and picked up the tea and tasted it.
Nianhua and Qi Yueyue glanced at each other, and Qi Yueyue shouted softly, "Grandpa......"
"Say, "What's the matter?" Don't call grandpa grandpa, grandpa has to call you if he's fine! ”
Qi Yueyue was overjoyed: "Grandpa will go to that auction tomorrow?" ”
"Well, go ahead." Qi Lao took a sip of tea, "Good craftsmanship." ”
Usually Qi Lao dragged his granddaughter to go, and his granddaughter said that he didn't want to go, and he was reluctant to go, saying that it was a bunch of rags, but his granddaughter liked to watch people gamble on stones. As soon as someone gambles on the stone, they like to watch.
I took the initiative to ask about it today...... Qi Lao glanced at the two of them, and sure enough, he couldn't hide anything.
He is a bold person, so he doesn't sell off. "I just received an invitation to the museum a few days ago, and I know the people over there, if you two want to go, come along." Qi Lao welcomed the two of them very much, and he had this plan, no, he didn't mention Nianhua and Yueyue before he mentioned it. He had to pretend to be reluctant. There are everyone in the antique street, and it is a place for children to have a long insight, but Yueyue just doesn't understand.
He's not talking about one. It's two, Nianhua and Qi Yueyue were immediately overjoyed.
On the second day, Qi Lao, Qi Yueyue and Nian Hua drove to the antique street by Uncle Wang.
Qi Lao was tall and thin when he was young, and he is now. Nianhua suspected that Qi Yueyue's height was inherited from Qi Lao. Now sitting in the back of the car. It looks majestic and wise, but also kind, and the surrounding area is full of literary temperament precipitated by the years.
When they arrived at the antique street, Nianhua and Qi Yueyue held hands, Nianhua looked east and west curiously, Qi Yueyue didn't feel bored this time because she had a good sister by her side, and she also followed her left and right, which made Qi Lao laugh again and again.
It's a quaint street. There are some shops on both sides of the street, and some stalls. Half of the proportions. There are many people on the street, elegant, vulgar, insiders who are obsessed with jade, or those who want to get rich overnight with greed written in their eyes, or those who are diligent stall owners, shrewd merchants...... But most of them are adults, especially middle-aged, and people of this age are rare, let alone primary school students.
According to Grandpa Qi, antiques have only been developed in recent years. In the past, antique streets did not exist. Whoever finds a little cultural relics and antiques must secretly find some people who understand the market and know the goods to sell. Now that the government is not as strict as before, the antique street has developed as a legal trading place, and even gambling stones have become popular.
Anything that is traded here, whether it is a stall or a shop, once it is traded, cannot be reversed. Of course, the things in the shops are much more formal and look tall, and the things on the stalls, although miscellaneous, have many defective products, but it is not excluded that there are amazing genuine products, which test people's eyesight, knowledge and luck.
Nianhua is more inclined to the latter, and the stalls are more challenging. It is precisely because most people think that there are not many good goods on the stall, so if you are allowed to stall such a piece, wouldn't it show your level.
As for the auction, this year is the first time, and of course Qi Lao attaches great importance to it.
"Two years ago, there was a homeless man on this street who bought two treasures by mistake at this roadside stall and jumped into the clouds. Later, he took the money to start his own business, and now the business is very promising, and he is also surrounded by his wife. Luck is something that is hard to fathom. Qi Lao's gaze swept over the stalls one by one, and he sighed infinitely.
Qi Yueyue scratched her hair, frowned and sighed, "Grandpa, you've said this no less than three times." "Grandpa told him at least three times about this, saying that a penniless homeless man can rise to the top, not only by luck, but also by his courage and talent. This person decisively seized the opportunity given to him by God, and did not take this opportunity to be arrogant and lascivious, and opened up a bright road of his own. She could almost memorize it.
Nian Hua smiled lightly and asked Qi Lao in surprise: "Dare to ask what kind of treasure that homeless man found?" "She was curious.
"Nian girl is interested in this?" Qi Lao looked at her with satisfaction, his granddaughter was not interested in this at all, it was better to be a righteous granddaughter, "It's a bronze." ”
"Bronze?" It stands to reason that bronzes are also divided into grades, and the price of some ordinary bronzes on the market is not high, unless the bronze is valuable.
"A small tripod that is more than 30 centimeters high, not too big, the age is the Western Han Dynasty, but the whole body is engraved with inscriptions and patterns, but the young girl understands?" Qi Lao asked with a smile, and he wanted to hear what she understood.
No wonder...... Qi Lao's words confirmed what Nianhua thought, Nianhua said slowly: "It is precisely because this Xiaoding's body is engraved with characters and patterns that it has collection value and research value. ”
"Well said!" Qi Lao praised, the young girl deserves to be liked by her son, she is really accomplished in this regard, it is rare for a junior high school student to be able to say this, "But this is not the most interesting place." The most surprising thing is that this homeless man resolutely handed over Xiaoding to the state after being appraised by professionals in the industry, and won the national certificate of honor. ”
Nianhua also sighed, "So what about another treasure?" ”
She asked the key, which must be a very valuable thing, otherwise where did the homeless man get the capital to make a fortune later, and she now wants to know more and more what it is. (To be continued......)
