Li Jian buried the order, and when he pulled Jiang Lili out in a hurry, Song Xiaoyun had already taken Xu Tao's arm and introduced him to the market.

Although the economic development of Tongcheng is far inferior to that of the provincial capital Yunzhou, and it cannot catch up with Zhongtian, it has been an economically developed place in history.

The prerequisite for a place to be economically developed is that transportation should be convenient.

The current Tongcheng, railways and highways have just been opened in the past two years, and the start of urban development is later than that of Zhongtian.

In the past, however, it was a hub for transportation. Because the waterway through the city is developed, there were no cars in ancient times, there would not be so many road construction, and transportation mainly relied on waterways.

With the developed waterways of Tongcheng, it has unique conditions and has become a necessary place for salt transportation and water transportation. It was a pivotal position at the time.

Because of this, there were far more big businessmen and people in Tongcheng than the surrounding cities, becoming the economic center at that time, and the cultural heritage was relatively deep, and there were more old things left by those rich families than in other places, so Tongcheng would spontaneously form a cultural relics market. This is not found in the provincial capital and in Zhongtian.

Xu Tao heard this: "There is also an antique market in Zhongtian, and there seems to be one in Yunzhou, and the scale is not smaller than here!" ”

"That's different!" Song Xiaoyun said: "Those markets were built later, and they all say that the Shengshi Collection, with the development of the economy, of course there will be this kind of demand." However, a night market dominated by antiques was spontaneously formed here very early, and the cultural accumulation is deeper. ”

As he was talking, Li Jian pulled Jiang Lili and chased after him, shouting, "Xu Tao, did you find any good objects?" ”

Li Jian was a little excited at this moment, Xu Tao just said that he promised to let him pick up a leak, at least earn back the money for this meal. Although Li Jian didn't know if Xu Tao knew whether he knew antiques, based on Xu Tao's recent consistent performance, Li Jian still chose to believe him.

Although the cost of a meal is not expensive, it is also a leak. You must know that his father has been thinking about picking up leaks all day long and has not seen him succeed, if he picks up a leak for the first time he buys an antique, then he can also raise his eyebrows in front of his own Lao Tzu.

Xu Tao looked at him with excitement on his face, and couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you just say that one of the hundred things here may not be genuine, why do you want to miss it again now?" ”

"Who wouldn't want to pick up the leaks? I also learned some basic knowledge of antiques from my dad, but my dad himself was often slaughtered, and I didn't dare to pick up what I learned from him. But today is different, isn't it you and Song Xiaoyun? I'll take a look at it later, pick some things, and you'll have to check it for me then." ”

"Okay, you go and pick it, if you have something you like, call me, and promise not to let you suffer!" Xu Tao has a big package.

"Okay! With your words, it's done! Li Jian heard Xu Tao say so surely, although he didn't know where his confidence came from, he had already excitedly squeezed into the crowd and looked for a treasure.

Seeing this, Song Xiaoyun whispered: "Are you so confident? What if you lose sight? You must know that the level of counterfeiting is very high now, even my grandfather was blinded by the last time he looked at a piece of porcelain for others, and it is because of this that he does not identify it for others now. It's not entirely because of bad eyes. ”

Xu Tao smiled and said: "People have misses, horses have stumbled." It's normal to get it wrong once in a while! Anyway, I will help Li Jian palm my eyes for a while, in case I see that I am wrong, I will pay for it and buy it, and I can't let him suffer! ”

"Huh?" Song Xiaoyun glanced at Xu Tao in surprise and suddenly laughed. I really didn't expect this guy to have such an idea. This is foolproof, but I pity myself and think that he is really a master of identification.

"What's so funny? I'm just saying just in case! Xu Tao said with some dissatisfaction: "You must know that if you want me to fail, it is definitely not an easy thing!" ”

"Okay, good, you're amazing, I'll see how you identify it today!" Song Xiaoyun said and grabbed Xu Tao's arm again, and followed him slowly strolling.

Li Jian had already gotten into the crowd at this time. Not to mention, Li Jian really learned some basic knowledge from his old man, and he can say a lot of things, so he will play with Jiang Lili at this time.

However, it is one thing to know the basic knowledge, and it is another thing to judge the authenticity on the spot, Li Jian looked at the things in the market, and took his knowledge to the top, and always felt that many things were true.

However, Li Jian also knows that there will never be so many genuine products on the market, but he can't see it. So although he saw something like a "real thing" several times, Li Jian endured it and didn't call Xu Tao to identify it, he wanted to find an object that he had a relatively large grasp.

Song Xiaoyun followed Xu Tao and walked slowly, she didn't know how many times she had visited this street since she was a child, and she even knew about many businesses. Some of them were fake, and her grandfather had told her about them.

Li Jian is right, although Song Xiaoyun does not collect herself, she has a family history, and she has seen a lot of good things, this vision is far from being comparable to ordinary people, and ordinary cheating methods can't deceive her.

But Song Xiaoyun didn't plan to make a move today, she was a little curious, and she wanted to see how Xu Tao's confidence came from.

However, Xu Tao looked at things very casually, basically casually, and he didn't see him pick up anything and look at it carefully.

Xu Tao can't be blamed for this. Since it is for the elderly, it is necessary to find a good object. But although many things here look mottled and seem to be very old, Xu Tao knew that those were out-and-out new goods, and I was afraid that the factory date was in the near future, or within the shelf life!

Xu Tao swept past those stalls, basically didn't stop at all, and pulled Song Xiaoyun into a calligraphy and painting shop.

This store is not big, there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging around, the decoration is antique, and the store is also burning incense, which makes people feel comfortable when they walk in.

However, Song Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Tao walking into this store, because Song Xiaoyun knew that this store was selling imitation celebrity calligraphy and paintings. Although this shop is antique, it sells old imitation celebrity calligraphy and paintings, although it looks good, none of them are genuine.

However, this store is not a fraud, because what they sell is the price of imitation paintings. The owner of this shop himself is a student of painting and also likes to collect, and it is said that many of the paintings in his shop are made by the owner himself.

Although the painting is not bad, but my grandfather is a master of calligraphy and painting, and if I want to give this thing to my grandfather, I can't help it.

Song Xiaoyun saw Xu Tao walk in, and subconsciously opened his mouth, but finally didn't open his mouth and followed in silently.

Xu Tao walked into the store and looked around, but his eyes fell on an inkstone.

When Xu Tao was outside the store, he felt that there should be an object in the store that was some years old, so he walked in. However, I hurriedly swept my eyes just now and found that although the paintings here looked old, in Xu Tao's opinion, these were still within the expiration date.

However, this inkstone looks like it has been around for some years, and the calm and restrained atmosphere should have a history of hundreds of years.

Xu Tao pointed to the inkstone and asked, "Boss, how much is your inkstone?" ”

The boss was a little surprised when he heard this, he saw the young man come in and looked around for a while, and thought that he was going to buy a painting, but he didn't expect to ask about the inkstone in the end.

The boss was not angry, and said with a smile: "Young man, good vision, my inkstone is a Song Dynasty inkstone, but my shop sells calligraphy and paintings, but this inkstone is my private collection, which is not for sale." You might as well look at the calligraphy and paintings, just rely on your eyes, which one you like, and I'll give it to you cheaper. ”

"Forget it!" Xu Tao said and turned around and walked out the door.

After shopping for a long time, I finally saw something, but it was not sold by others, and Xu Tao was also a little disappointed. As for those calligraphy and paintings, they are all imitations, Xu Tao is naturally not interested.

When Xu Tao walked out of this calligraphy and painting shop, Li Jian was pulling Jiang Lili to squeeze into the crowd to see an "ancient painting".

It was a "bamboo painted by Zheng Banqiao", and the stall owner was selling it to a foreigner, who seemed to be very interested in the painting, and many people were watching.

The painting is very shabby, the stall owner is wearing gloves, carefully unfolding the painting, the painting is not large, the bamboo on the picture is indeed very spiritual.

Jiang Lili saw it and whispered: "That painting is broken, and you still take it out and sell it?" ”

Li Jian said: "After so many years, it will definitely be broken, it is true if it is broken, if it is very new, it must be fake!" ”

"But this painting has a musty smell, and there are a lot of needles on it, who has nothing to do with so many holes?"

"That's not the eye of a needle, it's the eye of a worm!" Li Jian said: "The ancient paintings are very old, and many of them will have insect eyes!" ”

"Ah, so, is that painting real?"

"This ......" Li Jian said and looked around, saw that the stall owner was looking at him, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Lili out of the crowd.

Li Jian pulled Jiang Lili away before saying, "That painting is fake!" ”

"Fake?"

"Yes!" Li Jian nodded and said: "That painting is actually printed, it is a wall calendar printed on rice paper, someone took it off from the calendar, re-framed it, used smoke, tea water, mildew promotion, and other methods to make it old, and deliberately made it damaged, and got fake insect eyes, just to sell it at a high price." ”

"Ah, isn't that a lie? Why didn't you just say that? ”

Li Jian said: "This antique transaction is about the eyes of buyers and sellers. Even if you buy a fake, you can only admit it, or you won't say anything about it, if you miss it, will you send it back to others? So even if you see a problem, you can't point it out in public, because that's a bad business. ”

Li Jian talked eloquently and made the means of making the painting a fake clearly. It's not that he has a good eye, in fact, with the "professional knowledge" he knows, he really thinks it's true. The reason why Li Jian is sure that the painting is fake is because his father bought an identical "Zheng Banqiao's Bamboo" not long ago.

However, Jiang Lili didn't know this, and when she heard what Li Jian said, she admired him a little, so she said, "I didn't think you still understood!" ”

As he was talking, someone suddenly leaned over and lowered his voice: "This friend is really an expert, and he can't deceive you with fraudulent means." I've got something good here, would you like to check it out? ”
