The night market is very lively, similar to the morning market or ghost market.

Basically, they are mainly based on street stalls.

The night market on the side of Panjiayuan in Beicheng is much larger than the ghost market on the side of the antique market in Los Angeles.

Initially.

When the Qing Dynasty declined, some people from big families, and even people in the palace, in order to live, resold some things, so as to exchange for some money, basically, they would be concentrated in the area of Panjiayao, so here, a ghost market was gradually formed.

The ghost market is open before dawn, because those big families or people in the palace are afraid of losing face, and maybe those who sell stolen goods are afraid of being caught, so when the day dawns, people will disappear without a trace.

In the past, this place was called Panjia kiln because it was the mouth of the kiln where glazed tiles were burned. Later, I felt that the kiln word was not good, so I changed it to Panjiayuan.

And then later.

It has gradually become a thrift trading market, a paradise for antique treasure hunters, and it can be said that it is well-known at home and abroad.

There are stalls and shops inside.

After Zhang Yi parked the car.

Carry a small flashlight with you, and walk around. After almost counting it, it seems that Yu Jingming's auction is only a little more than a week away.

It's been too busy lately, and Yu Jingming's side is also imminent.

I don't know if there can be a big leak in the antique market in Beicheng, and it would be better if it could meet the requirements of Yu Jingming's auction cover lot.

While thinking, I walked around like this.

Here, the most popular type is bracelets, which are found in almost every stall, and even some stalls are all bracelets, with all kinds of bracelets.

Small-leaved red sandalwood, yellow pear, cypress, bodhi, golden silk nanmu, agarwood, walnut and so on, all kinds of them.

After walking inside for a while.

The stalls of all kinds of old goods have gradually increased, and these are what Zhang Yi wants to see. On the side of the antique store, Zhang Yi generally does not go, because the probability of picking up a leak over there is too low.

There are too many stalls to count, and Zhang Yi turns them one by one.

If the sound of a treasure hunt appears, it means that there must be something good nearby. However, after walking through more than a dozen stalls along the way, the sound did not come.

Most of the stalls, at first glance, are basically new.

Some of them don't even care about the old ones, and where the mud rust peels off, you can even find traces of welding, which is obviously a modern thing.

But.

Zhang Yi was walking.

Suddenly, I saw that in one of the stalls, in the middle of a large number of antiques, there was something there, which seemed very inconsistent.

That's a cup.

Moreover, it looks like the clear glass we use to drink water now. It was crookedly placed in the middle of several bronzes and porcelain, as if the stall owner had misplaced it.

Could it be that the stall owner was in a hurry when he set up his stall, so he put all the cups for drinking water at home?

It seems unlikely.

Out of curiosity, Zhang Yi squatted down and prepared to take a look.

And at this time, there was another person next to him, who looked like he was thirty or forty years old, and the feeling of a middle-aged greasy uncle, when he squat down, he sneered and picked up the glass directly.

"Boss, did you misplace this thing? Glass, take home to drink water is about the same. ”

The boss looked up, glanced at the man, but did not speak, and continued to play with his phone.

This person ate the closed door, obviously not the person who really came to buy things, and saw that the boss ignored him, so he simply put down the cup and left boringly.

As he left, the man was still muttering.

"Oh, now this Pan Jiayuan is really getting more and more unreliable. I saw a stone robot cat sold as an antique in front of me, and there were people here who took a glass for drinking water as an antique, and the glasses became antiques, and I had already sent ......"

After the greasy uncle said that sentence just now.

The stall owner didn't take his glass back, and it was clear that it wasn't misplaced.

It's not a mistake, this kind of glass, is it still an antique?

So.

Zhang Yi also picked up the cup.

It feels like it's heavier than the glass at home.

He was a little confused.

"Boss, what's going on with this cup, can you tell me about it?"

Zhang Yi felt that there was something strange about this cup.

And the stall owner seemed to see Zhang Yi's sincerity, so he put down his mobile phone and opened his mouth.

"This cup was put here by a friend of mine. This is a glass cup of the Qing Dynasty, and the thing is indeed like a modern one, but if you take a closer look, you should be able to see that there are friction marks of long-term use on it, and there is also an oxide film slurry, which is definitely not a modern glass! ”

Zhang Yi nodded, look carefully, this cup does have enough sense of historical vicissitudes.

It's an old object, that is, is the glass so heavy?

With doubts.

Zhang Yi directly used the identification ability of his right hand.

"Excuse me, is it an appraisal?"

"Identification!"

Zhang Yi said secretly.

"Late Warring States Crystal Cup."

"This object is made of crystal, the whole vessel is slightly amber, the whole body is transparent and no cotton, the body is skimmed, flat lips, oblique straight cup wall, circle foot outward, the overall light element has no lines, the shape is simple and does not lose the atmosphere."

"Moreover, this crystal cup is made from a single piece of crystal, and the surface and inner wall have undergone extremely fine polishing and polishing. During the Warring States Period, there were no modern power tools and low productivity, it must have taken a great deal of engineering to be able to do such finesse, and it can be said that it is an outstanding work among ancient crystal artifacts. ”

"From the point of view of material, there is no doubt that it is high-quality crystal. Judging from the polishing and grinding marks of its arc surface, it is indeed the ancient traditional grinding and polishing process. Although, on the whole, it has the beauty of a modern glass, but its pulp and traces of historical inheritance are enough to prove that this crystal cup is indeed a genuine crystal cup in the late Warring States period. ”

"It's a pity, the fly in the ointment is that there is a slight bump at the bottom of the cup, and there is also a slight crack on the wall of the cup.

This appraisal is tantamount to an unexpected surprise for Zhang Yi.

Originally, I was just curious, so I casually identified it.

But I didn't expect that this cup was actually a crystal cup in the Warring States Period, which is far from the same grade as the Qing Dynasty glass cup that the stall owner said!

However, the trade of antiques is like this, relying on the eye to eat. Good eyesight, being able to see the value of this thing, and buying it at a low price is the ability to pick up leaks!

Of course.

Now the cup could not be repaired, and he did not agree to fix it.

Then, Zhang Yi put it down and asked.

"Boss, how much does this cup cost?"

Just now, the boss probably didn't think that Zhang Yi would buy it, but now, Zhang Yi actually asked the price, which must mean that he has the intention to buy.

So, the stall owner seems to have thought about it very seriously.

"This cup is an old glass cup of the Qing Dynasty, which is plain and has no lines, but the workmanship is still good! Lad, 1500 yuan, how about it? ”
