Chapter 455: Golden Incense Burner
Guo Fatzi finally understood why Yang Kang's anger was so big today.
"I'll cook first, and you sit and play first." Guo Fatzi said.
"Hmm!" Yang Kang nodded and said, "You can call Xiucai and ask him to come over for dinner." β
"He'll come later." Guo Fatzi said, "If you don't call him, he will come, but-"
"But what?" Yang Kang asked in surprise.
"That man is really a white man, touching porcelain, he has no money at all, pity your car ......," Guo Fatzi said.
Yang Kang not only frowned, but said, "Someone really touches porcelain?" β
"Hmm!" Guo Fatzi nodded.
"Let people check his bottom, if there is nothing bad, forget it, if there is, arrest him and lock him up for a few years, let him be honest." Yang Kang said, "I look at the money that is stupid and easy to bully? β
Guo Fatzi said with a smile: "Little Wangye, I really feel strange when I mention this, but if you want to touch porcelain in these years, you will definitely find high-end luxury cars, and your car is a typical example that is easy to remember." β
"You mean, the big boss bought a bad car?" Yang Kang said deliberately.
"Of course not." Guo Fatzi smiled and said, "Little Wangye, you are in a bad mood today, don't keep making trouble for us." β
"Come on, you go cook." When Yang Kang heard this, he also knew that he shouldn't trouble Guo Fatzi, so he immediately turned on the computer, he hadn't been to Ruyifang for a long time, but Ruyifang also hired a part-time worker, but it was cleaned up.
Guo Fatzi carried the mess and walked towards the kitchen.
In winter, by six o'clock, it was already all dark, and the weather was cold. Naturally, there are no people wandering around the streets.
But what Yang Kang couldn't have imagined was that at this time, the door of Ruyi Fang was actually pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in.
"What do you want to see, sir?" Although Ruyi Fang is to buy antiques, there are almost no customers who break in by mistake. However, since people came, Yang Kang still greeted him decently.
"Your family is in the antiques business?" The middle-aged man walked in and asked straight to the point.
"Yes!" Yang Kang nodded.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately looked at the goods on the shelf.
"These are antiques, young man?" The middle-aged man asked.
Yang Kang was stunned for a moment and said, "No, uncle." These things are all handicrafts, if you want to see antiques, I usually have acquaintances here, and then make another appointment to see, you can also ask an appraiser to come over, and then start. After all, an antique can be worth a lot of money. If you buy it, you will lose a lot. β
The middle-aged man listened. Nodding again and again, he said, "Yes, the young man has a point, if this is an antique that is placed like this, if you accidentally bump into it, this loss ......"
"What kind of antiques does Uncle want to see?" Yang Kang asked. "Ming and Qing porcelain? Calligraphy and painting, or jade? As he spoke, he stood up, took out a cigarette from the drawer, and handed one to the middle-aged uncle.
The middle-aged man took a cigarette. Just clipped it to his ear, but there was no point, and after a while, he said, "It's a bronze vessel!" β
"Bronze?" Yang Kang was stunned for a while, there really wasn't anything bronze in their house.
"I don't know what to say." The middle-aged man took a breath of talk and said, "The old mother of the family, who is eighty-five this year, has been talking to me every day for the past two years, wanting to find the ancestral heirlooms, but where can I find them?" β
"Huh?" Yang Kang didn't expect that this middle-aged uncle turned out to be a filial son, running an antique store on a cold day just to find some family heirlooms.
"Uncle, if you are looking for something, it is best to be able to explain what age it is, what it looks like, if there is a photo, it will be even better, I can help you ask." Yang Kang said busily.
Lang Yuan is still very able to speak in the antique line in the south, as long as Xiao Han doesn't say anything, the antique market in the south should be his final say.
"There's an old photo." The middle-aged uncle said, "The little boss will help me take a look?" β
"Good!" Yang Kang nodded and said, "Uncle don't care, take it out and show it to me?" β
"Hmm!" The middle-aged man said as he pulled out a photo from his pocket.
Yang Kang took a look, and immediately found that this photo should be scanned, and then repaired by ps, it is indeed aged, and the thing on the photo looks like an incense burner, and the dragon and phoenix dance of the buttons on it seem to have words, but it is not very clear, even if it is ps, it has not been restored, or the beginning of the photo has not been taken clearly.
The color of the photo was a little dull, and Yang Kang was not sure, this thing must be brass or red copper, because when he looked at the texture, it didn't seem to be copper.
And when he looked at the dragon and phoenix casting process, it didn't seem to be a thing of the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, and naturally it was not something from the Song and Yuan dynasties, but it was more likely to be a thing of the Tang Dynasty.
"Uncle, what is the word on this incense burner?" Yang Kang asked.
"I don't know!" The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "The photo itself is not clear, when I asked someone to repair it, people also asked, but I don't know." β
"Does Ling Tang know?" Yang Kang asked.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know, I asked, she ...... She...... Many people in my mother's time didn't know how to read. β
"When did you lose something?" Yang Kang frowned again, just with such a photo, trying to find something is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"The Cultural/Revolutionary Period." A wry smile appeared on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, and he said, "The ancestors are quite wealthy, so they ......"
"I know!" Yang Kang heard him say this, and he instantly understood.
"The lad has seen anything like that?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Nope!" Yang Kang shook his head and said, "Uncle, don't be angry when I told me. β
"There's nothing to be angry about, the young man has a good temper, I've been running a lot of antique shops in the past few days, and people think I'm making trouble." The middle-aged man sighed, at the end of this year, the old mother's health is getting worse and worse, and she is afraid that she will not be able to do it, and even the doctor said that let their family prepare for the future, so as not to really come out, and then it will be busy, and this and that is not complete.
Middle-aged people also know that at the age of the old mother, she is already considered to be a long life, and there is nothing to regret......
But the old mother never forgot this family heirloom, saying that now that she is dead, she has no face to go to see his father under the nine springs.
"Uncle, I think the texture of this thing may not be bronze." Yang Kang said, "I look at it very likely to be gold, and looking at this casting style, it may be a thing of the Tang Dynasty, so that this thing is either melted down by people who don't know the goods, and the gold rings and bracelets are displayed, or it is collected by people who know the goods - this thing is sold at the price of antiques, and there are not tens of millions, so you don't want to take it back." β
"Tens of millions?" The middle-aged man said, "I sell my sons and daughters, and I don't have this money!" β
"Find someone to make a craft!" Yang Kang had a bad idea and said, "Anyway, Ling Tang is already old when she is old, so she should be coaxed." β
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "Young man, you said it easily, don't I know, this thing can't be found, I just want to find something similar, whether it's a handicraft or an antique, it can make the old man feel at ease." But where do I find something like this in this market? β
"Just one photo?" Yang Kang asked.
"There are also two side enlarged ones." The middle-aged man said.
"If you can see the pattern clearly, then it's convenient to find someone to do it." Yang Kang smiled, "I'll calculate it for youβ"
As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper, calculated for a while, and said, "Uncle, for the sake of Ling Tang's old age, I won't charge you for the old age, you can give me 20,000 taels." β
"You're going to do this, boy?" The middle-aged man looked at Yang Kang's expression, that is, he looked at aliens.
"Well, I know a little bit!" Yang Kang said with a smile, "If you count all the jΓΉ, you can do exactly the same, as long as you don't use the instrument to test, you can't tell the truth from the fake." β
"Really?" When the middle-aged man heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately agreed with Yang Kang that he would bring two other photos and some other related numbers over tomorrow afternoon, and bring the deposit as well.
Yang Kang smiled and agreed, and exchanged phone numbers with the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man's surname is Zhong, called Zhong Zhengguo, and it is really a person of the era, which is the name of the era.
Waiting for the middle-aged man to leave, Yang Kang made a phone call to Lang Yuan, and said that Lang Yuan itself is a retro handicraft, and such a thing is naturally a piece of cake.
Guo Fatzi came out of the kitchen, reached out and touched Yang Kang's head, and said, "Little Wangye, did you get into the water in your head today?" β
"You're just in the water, you and Xiucai are in the water!" Yang Kang scolded angrily.
"You don't have a brain in the water, what are you doing with such a business? Twenty-two thousand to make a retro bronze, you can earn at most 3,000 yuan, and you lack that 3,000 yuan? Guo Fatzi asked stunned.
"I ......," Yang Kang sighed, "Fatty, look at it, the old mother is going to die, and she can't let go of this family heirloom." It's impossible to get his thing back, but it's still easy to make a fake for him and coax the old woman, anyway, idle is idle, and you have to have some fun yourself. β
"Whatever you want!" When Guo Fatzi heard this, he really couldn't cry or laugh.
The two were gossiping, and not long after, Feng Xiucai also came, and told Yang Kang about the person who touched porcelain, not only did the person have no money, but also had a butt of debts outside, and his wife also ran away with someone, so he entangled a few scoundrels and began to find some luxury cars to hook up with porcelain.
