Chapter 256: Liu Xin'er Piercing the Eye
The ghost market in Jianghai City is a small market once a week and a big market once a quarter, and today is just in time for a big market. The reason why Fang Mutian knew this was because when he was in Jingyang City, he had learned about ghost markets in various places.
Fang Mutian likes antiques, Jingyang City also has its own ghost market, every time there is a market, he will go, but the ghost market in Jingyang City is very ordinary, and there are no good treasures, and the ghost market in Jianghai City is different, it can be said that it is the most lively place in the ghost market in the country, gathering the most things, and it is also the easiest to find good treasures.
For the ghost market in Jianghai City, Fang Mutian had long wanted to come, and this time he happened to run into a big market, and he didn't want to let it go.
The car turned I don't know how many turns, and finally stopped at a dilapidated street entrance, at this time there were a lot of cars parked at the street entrance, there were vans, there were also luxury cars, although they had not yet entered the ghost market, but at the street entrance, they could already hear how lively the atmosphere of the street was inside.
After getting out of the car, Fang Mutian asked the fat man to wait for a while, and he ran to the bank not far away to withdraw some cash, in case he saw something good and had no money to buy it later, there was no way, in the ghost market, those vendors only collected cash, and it was useless to swipe cards and checks.
"Brother Tian, this is the ghost market?" Entering the street, the fat man looked around, a little stunned.
The street is not very wide, and the street is quite dirty, on both sides of the street, there are a lot of stalls, the stalls are hung with electric lights that are not very good, in front of these stalls, there are a lot of guests who go back and forth to pick things, this scene, how to look at it, I want to be a vegetable market.
The fat man originally thought that the ghost market should be very hidden, because the ghost market is an underground market, and there are many things that cannot be seen here, but the scene in front of him is completely beyond his expectations.
"It's mysterious, I thought it was some kind of fun place, but now it doesn't seem to be very good." Liu Xin'er pouted on the side.
Liu Xin'er looked disappointed, but Xu Xinyan on the side looked a little curious.
Fang Mutian ignored Liu Xin'er's complaints, and walked into the ghost market with an excited face, the ghost market in Jianghai City is famous, every time the market, especially the big market, many rich people who like antiques will come.
You know, in the past, in the ghost market of Jianghai City, but people have found a lot of good treasures, far a lot, recently there is news that in the last big market in Jianghai City, someone picked up the leak, at the price of 10,000 Chinese coins, found Qiu Ying's real handiwork, a picture of a court lady, if it changes hands, the buyer will get thousands of times the profit, this is definitely a big leak.
Of course, whether this is hype or not, whether it is true or not, no one can say.
Fang Mutian didn't think that his luck would be so good and that he could encounter such a good thing, but he still hoped to find something good from here, and he didn't want to go home empty-handed when he came to the ghost market in Jianghai City.
Looking at Fang Mutian's excited face, Liu Xin'er pursed her lips and muttered complaining about her dissatisfaction, she was not interested in antiques, coupled with the environment here, I originally thought it was a fun place, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of place. It makes her feel that she is cold in the middle of the night, wandering around here, why not go back to the hotel to sleep.
Fang Mutian came to a stall, in this stall, there were a lot of ancient jade, and some ceramics, Fang Mutian stood there, took a general look, and then turned to leave.
"Hey, this piece of jade is so beautiful." Liu Xin'er, who was on the side, saw an ancient jade ornament carved into a butterfly on the stall, and said in surprise.
"Girl, this ancient jade is not only beautiful, it also has a very nice name, it is called Butterfly Dream, which is a token of love given by Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty to a concubine." The stall owner said with a smile.
"How much?" Liu Xin'er asked, she liked this piece of jade at first sight, and heard the stall owner say that this piece of jade was actually a token of love given by Emperor Yongzheng to a concubine, then it was an antique, so she was even more excited.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, girl, you're so cute, I'll give you an affordable price, and I'll sell you for a thousand yuan." The stall owner laughed, but his smile looked like a cunning fox.
"Okay, a thousand is a thousand, I want it." Liu Xin'er was very refreshing, and directly took out her wallet and began to pay.
Fang Mutian, who was about to leave, saw this, and almost fell to the ground, this woman can't really have something wrong with her brain, this is a fake jade, even if its workmanship is good, but more than ten yuan is already up to the sky, she actually spent a thousand yuan to buy it.
Fang Mutian is now an antique master-level figure, as long as there is no special concealment method for the things sold by these vendors, he can tell their authenticity as long as he takes a glance.
Most of these ancient jades, most of which can't even be called jade, are artificially faked, and the counterfeiting techniques are so superb that ordinary people will be deceived in the past, there is no piece of ancient jade, but there are a few pieces of new jade, mixed in it, in order to deceive customers.
He didn't expect that Liu Xin'er, the woman, would actually spend a thousand yuan to buy a fake jade, it was really too much money to use, but it was no wonder that Liu Xin'er, she didn't understand anything, but she saw that the jade was beautiful and the name was good, so she decided to take it down.
"Wait." Fang Mutian hurriedly shouted.
"Don't break the rules, brother." The stall owner's face suddenly sank, and he looked at Fang Mutian with dissatisfaction.
You know, in the antique market also has its own rules, when others are looking at things, you can't speak, let alone bid, only after people have finished reading, you can speak.
The stall owner offered the price, Liu Xin'er also accepted it happily, and she was ready to pay, which means that the deal was negotiated, Fang Mutian suddenly interjected, which naturally broke the rules.
Fang Mutian glanced at the stall owner and said, "I know the rules, but she is my woman, so don't tell me any rules." ”
When the stall owner heard this, his eyes turned straight, and a smile immediately changed to a smile on his face, and said, "It turns out that she is your woman, I'm really embarrassed, but this is indeed a piece of real jade, and it will not be sold if it is less than a thousand." ”
And Liu Xin'er heard Fang Mutian say that she was his woman, she was stunned at first, and then she was about to go crazy, and Xu Xinyan on the side grabbed her and winked at her.
Xu Xinyan knew the meaning of Fang Mutian's words, not to take advantage of Liu Xin'er, but to hear Fang Mutian's voice, that is, there was something wrong with the piece of jade that Liu Xin'er wanted to buy, so she hurriedly grabbed Liu Xin'er and didn't let her go crazy.
A thousand yuan is not much, but it is not a decimal number, she doesn't want Liu Xin'er to be deceived.
Fang Mutian glanced at Liu Xin'er, and then said to the stall owner: "Don't tell me that you are real jade, I just play with jade, don't I know if this is true or false?" In addition to the fact that the handiwork is not bad, how much can it be worth? ”
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be an expert in this area, little brother, then I won't make a random offer, little brother, I can see that your woman likes this piece of jade very much, you make a price, I will buy it for you." The stall owner sneered. originally thought that Fang Mutian and they were just a group of young people who didn't understand anything, and they could take a good vote, but they didn't think that there were experts in it, and the plan was ruined, which made him depressed.
Fang Mutian said with a smile: "Fifteen yuan, if you sell it, we will take it." ”
"What? Fifteen pieces? This little brother, you killed a little too hard at this price, right? The stall owner's face was very ugly, a thousand yuan, and in a blink of an eye, it became fifteen yuan, and he couldn't accept such a result.
"Is it ruthless? There are many such ornaments in the market, the price I give you has been the sky, if you think the price is low, don't sell it, I believe that there are also such ornaments sold in the stalls here. Fang Mutian said lightly.
"Okay, okay." The corners of the stall owner's mouth twitched, how much could the ornament be worth, he also understood it very well in his heart, fifteen yuan, this is indeed the sky, he could have slaughtered a fat sheep, but he didn't expect this to be the result.
Of course, he can also not sell it and continue to wait for other fish to take the bait, but these ancient jades, he has been buying them for a long time, and he has not sold them for such a long time, needless to say, others also know that this is fake, knowing that he sells fake things here, who will come to him to buy things in the future? Therefore, he was also in a hurry to sell these jades.
Although fifteen yuan is a little unacceptable, and the price he expected in his heart is too much, but how to say that he sold the ornament and made a pack of cigarettes, he can only use such an excuse to numb himself.
Fang Mutian nodded, paid the money, took the ornament, handed it to Liu Xin'er, and then ignored Liu Xin'er, who looked sluggish, and walked towards a stall in front.
He knew that this was a big blow to Liu Xin'er, remembering that Liu Xin'er was against him everywhere, he originally wanted to sarcastically say a few words about her, but after thinking about it, as a man, how can he be so small-bellied? Therefore, I thought it was better to forget it, and I didn't sprinkle salt on Liu Xin'er's wound.
Indeed, Liu Xin'er was hit hard, she felt like a fool, something that could be bought for a dozen yuan, and she didn't hesitate to spend a thousand to buy it, what is this not a fool? This is simply ironic to the extreme.
Looking at Liu Xin'er, who was depressed, had grievances on her face, and was silent, Xu Xinyan shook her head and comforted: "Okay, Xin'er, don't care, you don't understand this, it's normal to be fooled, it's me, I thought it was worth a thousand yuan at first." ”
Liu Xin'er nodded, looked at the back of Fang Mutian in front of her, and held the ornament in her hand tightly.
Everyone continued to walk forward, and looked at several stalls in a row, there were porcelain, bronze, ancient money books, calligraphy and paintings, everything, but basically they were all handicrafts, real old things, and few were pitiful.
Although Jianghai City has the largest and most lively ghost market in China, but now that science and technology are so developed, some profiteers have seen the market in this area, and have created counterfeit collectibles to make huge profits, and the imitations are the same as the real ones, resulting in more and more people who are being beaten by leaks, and fewer and fewer people who really pick up leaks.
You know, now there are more and more people playing collecting, and there are so many good things in the antique world, most of which have been obtained by some people early, and the rest are pitiful.
