Li Mobai didn't have too high expectations for this very common art flat shop, it was purely a whim, so I stopped by to take a look. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

However, this small art shop brought Li Mobai a huge surprise, and there were actually 3 beds of guqin and several Chinese antiques in the corner.

Seeing that the 3-bed guqin in front of him has not been properly maintained, Li Mobai can't help but feel a pain in his heart, it is really a tyrannical thing, just looking at the shape of the 3-bed guqin, Li Mobai knows that this is the unique qin cutting process of the Tang Dynasty guqin, and the best paulownia wood board is used, but Li Mobai knows that the 3-bed qin must be re-maintained before it can restore the original sound of nature.

Quietly, he said to the shopkeeper in French, "Please bring me these instruments." ”

When the shop owner heard this, he said in his heart that this should be Chinese, but the French is really good, even better than what I, an authentic Frenchman, said, and his attitude couldn't help but get better, "Oh, welcome, friends from China!" ”

Li Mobai smiled, did not respond, and waited until the boss took out one of the pianos, stroked the strings, and suddenly felt a jerky feeling came over, obviously this piano has not been played for more than a hundred years, Yue Shan and Long Gum are already a little rotten, and the strings are also extremely relaxed.

"What a pity!" Li Mobai sighed, "Please take the other two to take a look!" ”

The shopkeeper muttered a word of regret before hearing Li Mobai speak, and his heart couldn't help but move, could it be that this thing from China is still a good thing, but it was not taken by the guests, thinking of this, he quickly took the other two pianos over, and looked at Li Mobai expectantly.

Li Mobai took a cursory look at the other two beds of pianos, and knew that these three beds were all good pianos, and the broken lines on the body of the piano had once again proved their identity, and one of them was a rare banana leaf bottomless piano.

Although these beds of pianos are damaged due to improper maintenance, it is undoubtedly a treasure for Li Mobai, especially the seal book "Jiuxiao Huanpei", "Ancient Relics" and "Great Sage Relics" inscribed on the Dragon Pond made Li Mobai overjoyed.

"Your pianos were originally good, but unfortunately due to improper maintenance, they are close to scrap." Li Mobai said in French, "If you are willing to sell, I am willing to buy it, and then find an expert to try to fix it." ”

When the shopkeeper heard Li Mobai's words, he knew that it was still possible to repair it, and there was still a chance in the secret passage, although this thing had not been sold for decades, but as long as you liked it, then you would be slaughtered fiercely, and he opened his mouth and quoted a price that he thought was sky-high, "20,000 euros per piece." ”

In fact, the price of these three pianos is clearly marked, but because they have not been sold for many years, the price tag on it has long been lost.

When Li Mobai heard the boss's offer, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, if this three-bed piano is in the auction market, even if it asks for 2 million euros, I will take it, not to mention that you are only 20,000 euros, but he pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, it's too expensive, 10,000 euros each, I want all 3 pieces." ”

"No, no, no, my Sarkozy art store has always clearly marked the price, and never falsely reported the price!" The shopkeeper pretended to say that in fact, his heart had already blossomed, but as a businessman, he was born with a talent for acting, so he would not agree to it.

"Oh, it's a pity, it seems that we really can't come to a consensus." Li Mobai shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully.

The shopkeeper saw that Li Mobai was about to give up, so he hurriedly made a reluctant look and said, "Oh, since you are a friend from China, and these three musical instruments are also from China, I will sell them to you at the price you said, and it can be regarded as returning them to their original owners." ”

Li Mobai smiled, then asked the tiger behind him to take out 30,000 euros and handed it to the shopkeeper, and asked the shopkeeper to issue an official purchase invoice, and then took the three-bed guqin for himself.

After the owner of the store issued a sales invoice, he found 3 boxes from the corner and handed them to Li Mobai.

"Friends from China, I still have a lot of antiques from China here, don't you want to look at them anymore?" Just increased the sales revenue by 30,000 euros all of a sudden, and the boss was in a good mood, so he took the initiative to sell it to Li Mobai.

"Oh, then take out those two yellow porcelains and show them to me!" In addition to the three-bed guqin, Li Mobai had already noticed that there were two yellow porcelains in it, which was the so-called chanterelle yellow porcelain.

In the history of Chinese porcelain, the reputation of chanterelle porcelain is not obvious, but it has the highest status, and the yellow homonym is 'emperor', so it is impossible to see chanterelle porcelain in the folk kiln.

Even in the imperial court, chanterelle porcelain was only qualified to be used by emperors and empresses, and there were strict standards, and it was absolutely not allowed to be used at will, compared to the status of other types of porcelain, but it was a world of difference.

As a result, chanterelle porcelain is almost impossible to see on the market today, and therefore chanterelle porcelain is rarely known to players.

However, Li Mobai found that there was a pair of chanterelle jars with yellow lids, which almost made Li Mobai a little overjoyed, but it was not revealed on his face.

After the boss took out this pair of porcelain, Li Mobai reached out and looked at it, wiped off the dust on the surface, and saw that the glaze of the rectification lid jar was as charming and delicate as chicken fat, and the glaze was uniform and stable.

When Li Mobai saw the payment at the bottom of the circle, there was no accident that it was the "Ming Hongzhi Year System", seeing this, Li Mobai knew that this was undoubtedly the true work of the Ming Hongzhi Year.

Seeing these two lid jars, Li Mobai also had a rough guess about the origin of the three-bed piano, the owner of this shop or in this town, there were robbers who participated in the division of the treasures of the Old Summer Palace a hundred years ago.

"Take out all your Chinese antiques and let me see them, I'll pick two more better ones." Li Mobai did not say whether he wanted these two lid jars, but asked the boss to take out all the contents to take a look.

The boss saw that Li Mobai was not interested in these two pieces of porcelain, so he said, "This is only a part, you look first, if you are not satisfied, you follow me to the back warehouse to see, there are still a lot of Chinese antiques in it." ”

It's not that the boss doesn't understand that Chinese antiques are now booming, but after taking a few pieces to the auction house, the auction house gave the appraisal, but the appraisal given by the auction house was too low, not enough for the handling fee, so he had to go home.

If it weren't for the fact that Chinese antiques are now sought after in the market, this boss would not have put these Chinese antiques out in this corner.

After the boss took out these porcelains one by one, Li Mobai found that in addition to the pair of chanterelles just now, there were a total of 8 pieces of porcelain, but only two were official kiln treasures, but these two treasures were really quite rare, Qianlong enamel vials.

These two enamel colors are a pair of plum vases with poems, and there are red seals of Zhu Wen at the beginning and end of the poems, and the poems and pictures echo each other from afar, and the calligraphy and painting have been perfected.

Seeing these two plum bottles, Li Mobai couldn't help shouting in his heart, foreign devils, you snatched it back then, and today I want to snatch it back in the hands of your descendants like you!

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Li Mobai still showed a dissatisfied look, and the boss was not disappointed when he saw Li Mobai's expression, "Oh, Chinese friends, don't be disappointed, there are still a lot of warehouses in the back, you can come in and choose slowly with me." ”

Li Mobai didn't pretentiously, so he walked in with the boss, and before entering, he gave the tiger a look, which meant that the treasure outside was taken care of, and the tiger understood it, and did not follow in, but guarded a few porcelains in front of him like a door god.

The shopkeeper also sold three musical instruments that he saw as waste today, and the conversation was even more exciting, introducing them as he walked, telling the glorious history of this town.

Li Mobai confirmed the speculation just now from the mouth of the shopkeeper, the old foreign devils here really invaded China back then, but the shopkeeper understood the truth that the customer was God, and did not brag about it.

Regarding history, Li Mobai doesn't want to compete with this boss, and now the primary purpose is to see if there are any good things in the treasury of this foreign devil, and if there are, they must definitely buy them by robbery.

The owner of the store is also very happy in his heart, he has always heard that now that China's economy has developed, the rich are nouveau riche, and they spend a lot of money on the Champs-ElysΓ©es in Paris at every turn.

After the shopkeeper opened the warehouse, Li Mobai saw the paintings of some unknown local painters and students, as well as some so-called antiques in the West, which were actually some garbage, but he did not find the Chinese antiques mentioned by the boss.

"Oh, my Chinese friend, don't worry, Chinese antiques are all here!" The shopkeeper also walked into the warehouse and pointed to a corner.

Li Mobai looked up, and sure enough, he found that there were some porcelain and painting scrolls in the corner pointed out by the boss, which looked like friends and bronzes, but they were all covered up by dust.

The boss couldn't help but laugh embarrassedly when he saw that those things were covered with ups and downs, and quickly picked up a towel and wiped it.

"Don't move, I'll do it myself!" When Li Mobai saw the boss, he picked up a dirty rag and was about to wipe it, so he hurriedly said something to stop him.

The scroll and scroll had not yet been opened, and he didn't know whose work it was, but a bronze in front of him had deeply attracted Li Mobai's attention.
