When everyone was awakened in a daze, the car had already arrived at the door of Panjiayuan. After Xu Changqing parked the car, the group headed towards Panjiayuan.

In Panjiayuan, there are antique shops, thrift shops, hanging shops and stalls. This is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the first class is the antique shop, which is relatively much more, the price is naturally very expensive, they do business is about "three years not open, open for three years." "And the main direction is also relatively clear, not scattered.

The second class is the hanging shop, which is more popular than the regular antique shop. Hanging shops, both incoming and outgoing goods are openly traded in the store, and because of the low price, most of them are patronized by lovers who are new to collecting. This type of trading is only available in Kyoto, not in other cities, and the business area is somewhere between an antique store and a thrift store.

The last thrift shops and stalls belong to the lower class, mainly engaged in antique toys, can not enter the antique chamber of commerce, in the industry people do not recognize them as antique shops.

However, its price is cheap, and there are good objects that the owner does not know, so it is quite popular with the majority of antique lovers, and it is also the place where there are the most leaks.

At this time, the weather has turned a little colder, and it is naturally not as crowded as the tourist season. Today happens to be Sunday, so there are still a lot of people setting up stalls, and some antiquities that look antique, rusty, or lack of edges and corners are placed on the thick cloth at the bottom, and a stall will become.

The samples on the stall are also full of patterns, copper coins, ancient jade, jars, bottles, picture scrolls, manuscripts and even small broken porcelain pieces, only you can't think of it, there is nothing you can't find. Most of them don't shout and sell like a roadside fruit vendor, they just sit and you stop and look at the things in his stall before he asks.

The most taboo thing for them is that the buyer "climbs the mast". This is the jargon in the antique industry, which refers to the antique dealer in the transaction behavior, suddenly changed the hexagram, such as the good conditions, the price of the repentance, what is said does not count, called "climbing the mast".

Most of the people who wander around this time of year are natives of Kyoto or near Kyoto. They're veterans, with all ages and professions.

The frequent visitors who come and go can probably be divided into four kinds, one is counting on picking up leaks and getting rich overnight, and most of these people are just entering the industry, without rich accumulation, no eyesight, and are not particularly rich economically, and most of them are deceived and deceived.

The second is purely as a hobby, and there will be a fixed number of days a week to shop around and buy things depending on the price. If it's too expensive, it's not sticky, and the price is a little higher and he likes it, so he will buy it painfully, but the number of visits will also decrease, and he may come back after a long time.

The third type is a slight age, which can be regarded as an expert. This kind of person has some extremely deep antique knowledge accumulation, and his eyesight is also ruthless. Their purpose is to find the leak, to find the real thing.

In the case of genuine goods, one is that they like it, and the price is appropriate, as long as it is not higher than the price in his heart, then they will buy it without hesitation, no matter how expensive it is, only they can afford it.

The second is to meet the real thing, but the kind that is dispensable, you have to make them feel that they are profitable, and they will win it at a price lower than the one in his heart.

The third is to encounter genuine goods and the owner does not know the price of the object, they often inadvertently buy it by the way, and then the owner of the goods learns the truth, beats his chest and feet, and his heart drips blood.

The last one can be regarded as a stupid person, this kind of person accounts for a very small proportion, but it is also the favorite type of the cargo owner, and if you encounter it, it will be considered a big deal!

As for the others, like Li Le, they are purely curious and interested, and they are not regular visitors.

Seeing that Liu Yunyao and Ran Hongling beside him were a little eager to try, Li Le also hurriedly pulled them along, and then explained to them some potential businesses here, for fear that it would not be good if the two of them offended people by mistake.

Whether you are running an antique business or doing antique collection, if you want to enter this circle, you must first understand the rules of this circle, otherwise you will not be able to really enter the industry. "Every word and deed, every gesture" can see how deep your deeds are.

The traditional seventy-two lines, the antique is the largest, because of the particularity of this line, because in the antique line can reflect the real equality. In the past, Emperor Qianlong was not afraid of anything else, but also of antique connoisseurs. A true antique connoisseur, no matter who you are, admires a person with a sense of truth and vision.

With the development of this industry, some potential rules have gradually emerged, which can become "Catch-21".

For example, "compensation must be made for the damage of the goods", "no third party can be present in the transaction between the two parties unless it is approved", "whether the buyer buys a fake or the seller misses the sale, no return or post-account", "cannot pass through the stall", and so on.

Li Le naturally didn't know everything about these military regulations, and he just picked out some of the things that he was relatively clear to Liu Yunyao and them. Then he summed up the six words of Le, "Buy less, see more, listen more!" ”

Listening to Li Le's careful words, a few people around him also knew that there were so many Taos in the antique industry, and then Liu Yunyao also stuck out her tongue slightly, and Ran Hongling followed Li Le's side, no longer so eager to try.

Walking all the way, Li Le also squatted down and looked at a few stalls, mainly to see that there was ancient jade on it!

I picked a few casually to see, there is not much feeling on a few books, most of them are new jade antique, and the patterns are also hundreds, simmering heads, sheep jade, dog jade, plum jade, wind jade, hematopoietic Qin, loess embroidery and so on.

Sheep jade and dog jade are easier to understand, that is, put the jade in the body of the sheep and dog, and wait for a few years before taking it out. The difference is that the sheep jade is made of living creatures, and the jade presents a blood texture, like a heirloom jade, but it does not have the gentleness of real jade.

The dog jade is to kill the dog, let the dog's blood stasis in the body, put the jade into the dog's belly, suture and bury it in the ground, and take it out after a few years, the jade will give birth to the earth flower markings, which are similar to ancient jade, but different from real jade, with the color and carving traces of new jade.

The former uses a high concentration of black plum to boil, and there will be traces of water flushing in the soft place, and then the oil extraction method is used to color. The latter is boiled in thick gray water and black plum water, and then placed in ice and snow while hot.

As for the simmering head, it is a "chicken bone white" that imitates the characteristics of ancient jade, and it is grilled with fire.

The process of hematopoietic Qin and loess rust is roughly the same, both of which are to make the loess rust on the ancient jade, the former is to bury the jade with pig blood and loess, and the latter is to bury it in the soil after applying glue.

For the aging of ancient jade, Li Le also knows two ancient methods, the first "knock rust", this method was produced in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the specific method is to mix jade blanks with iron filings, and then quench with hot vinegar, put it in the humid ground for several days, and then bury it in the ground for several months after taking it out, at this time the jade has been corroded by iron filings, orange peel lines, and the rust in the texture is dark red, with soil spots, and the same as ancient jade.

The other is the old oil extraction method, during the Xuanhe Zhenghe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, some people use a kind of red light grass produced in the deep mountains of Gansu, take its juice and add a little sand, pickle it into the newly carved jade texture, and then use fresh bamboo branches to burn the fire and barbecue, so that the red into the jade, its red is like chicken blood, and the famous experts often do not notice.

These are tightly known to Li Le, and there are thousands of methods that he doesn't know, and the ancient jade made by these methods is basically indistinguishable if he is not a person who really understands it.

Even connoisseurs will have a time to wander, so Li Le, who is not sure, has basically put it down. After all, if you have money, you can't spend it at will.

Then on top of a stall, Li Le found a more interesting piece of jade. At first, he was a little uncertain, but after careful consideration, he already had a certain number in his mind.

The piece of jade in his hand at the moment is a piece of jade that is "made after ancient jade".

The so-called ancient jade is different from the method of making new jade old, and its own carrier is the real ancient jade, but it is defective ancient jade.

For various purposes, the author tries to change the shape and decoration of the original utensils into sporadic small pieces, or to mend the remnants, and the marks of the axe chisel that are easy to expose the true face of Lushan are mainly dyed and faded.

Such as a large piece of ancient jade that has been broken, jade wall and the like. If it is sold as is, most of the people will not be able to buy it, or even if someone is willing to buy it, the buyer will not be able to pay a high price.

Therefore, the counterfeiter often changes according to its broken condition, if half is missing, the remaining one is changed to Huang, if a small part is missing, it is changed to Jue, if the inner mouth is missing, one layer is rubbed off and changed to Xuan, if the outer part is broken, one layer is rubbed off and changed to a ring.

There is also a kind of repair, such as a wall broken, then cut off the whole part and with the same color of jade or even gold and silver to make up, this method, in the love of jade, the ancient style of China has been repeatedly found for a long time.

And the piece in Li Le's hand belongs to the latter, it is a jade wall. The missing part accounts for one-third of the whole jade wall, but it is not new jade, but the same ancient jade, but it looks newer than the material of the jade wall itself.

This shows that this piece of jade wall is not made up by modern times, but by the masterpieces of the ancients. At this time, the loess on the jade wall was rusty and rusty, and the pattern on it was also a little blurred, but a quaint dragon shape could be vaguely seen, which was also another curiosity for Li Le.

It's just that there are no tools to deal with it at the moment, but I can't see the name of it.

The stall owner's age was about forty, and when he saw that Li Le looked at it for a while, he said: "Little brother, you really have a vision, this is my pressing goods, if you like it, don't say much, take five thousand!"

Li Le looked at him slightly, but he knew a little in his heart that what the owner of the goods said was his best thing. In terms of the value of this thing itself, it is a little worthless, not to mention the jade that was made later, and there is a break, shouting out this price is preparing for the lion to open his mouth.

At this moment, the owner of the goods seems to be looking at his youth and treating himself as a Kaizi.

Li Le shook his head slightly, and then prepared to put down the jade, although he was interested, but if he was reluctant to let go at the moment, the owner would control his psychology even if he reduced the price. And such a price is far from acceptable in his heart.

Seeing that Li Le put down the jade without hesitation and prepared to leave, the owner of the goods also hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't be in a hurry to leave, or four thousand?"

Li Le still didn't speak, and stood up.

"Three thousand!" The owner of the goods hurriedly added.

Then seeing that Li Le had turned around, he also gritted his teeth and shouted, "Why don't you make a price?" ”

Li Le stopped at this time, and then stretched out his palm, and spread his five fingers, "Five pieces of money, if you agree with me, I will take it, and if you don't agree, I won't say more." ”

Five pieces of money means five hundred, all of a sudden from five thousand to five hundred, the stall owner's heart is also a little painful, "This thing is definitely an open door, but five pieces of money is a little less, why don't you add five more?" ”

"I'm a little bit bad!" Li Le shook his head, and said that he was not good at it and was ready to leave, this thing was made after the ancient jade, presumably the owner of the goods also knew it in his heart, but he didn't know that the age of this "after doing" was a little old, and he didn't know its true value, otherwise he wouldn't let Li Le only add five dollars.

But Li Le can't break through the way, and whether to sell or not depends on the owner's will.

When the owner heard Li Le's words, he immediately understood that this piece of jade made later had been seen. So he said directly: "Okay, you can take the five coins, it's all about making friends, and you will patronize it more in the future!"

Li Le took five hundred out of his wallet and handed it to him, then took the jade in his hand.

When he was buying and selling, Liu Yunyao and the others behind him were also silent, remembering what he had just said, and only after leaving the stall did they ask curiously: "Is it worth spending five hundred yuan to buy that thing?"

"It's just playing, and you have to go back and clean up if it's worth it." Most of the surface of this piece of jade has been covered by loess rust at this moment, and the structure of the whole piece of jade is not very clear. Therefore, Li Le can only conclude that it is ancient jade at this moment, but as for what age it is, it is not clear whether it has a background or not.

500 yuan to buy this thing, Li Le is just for fun, after all, you have to have some thoughts when you come to shop, right?

Hearing Li Le say this, Liu Yunyao also said with some distress, "You don't know if it's worth it and you bought it like this?" After all, it's five hundred yuan, and with her frugal nature, even if she has money now, she is not willing to spend five hundred to buy such a worthless thing.

Li Le couldn't hear the meaning of her words, smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, five hundred yuan is definitely not a loss."

What he said was true, although he couldn't see the value, just because the piece of jade that was added later was a bit old, and the age of the jade itself was definitely not short, and it was worth five hundred yuan.

If it is cleaned up, it really does not have much collection value, and he believes that with his own carving, the same piece of jade can be changed to Huang again, and it can definitely be multiplied several times.

Hearing him say this, Liu Yunyao also snorted at him and forgot it. Then the group went all the way forward.
