Chapter Twenty-Nine: Golden Buckteeth

My mind has been on these things for the past few days. Putting aside the tapes that can't be put out, not to mention the jars of sand, what I care about the most are the three porcelain bottles.

After reading it to my grandmother that day, I went to visit a few of the more famous antique appraisers here, and all of them said they didn't know. What's even more ridiculous to me is that some of them even think that I took a few fakes to find them.

Seeing that no one had identified and analyzed these three porcelain vases within a radius of a hundred miles, my curiosity about this porcelain vase increased a little.

Could it be that you can only go to Beijing to go to Liulichang to find the person named Jin Da Buckya? Looking at the list of addresses on the note given by my grandmother, I was stunned.

In the end, I took these three porcelain vases and stepped on the train to the north......

I arrived at Beijing West Railway Station at noon today, and as soon as I got off the train, a heat wave of July in Beijing swept in.

I wiped my sweat a little and got off the train with a huge suitcase containing three porcelain bottles.

Out of the station, I didn't hesitate to call a car and go straight to the glass factory.

This glaze factory is said to be a glaze factory, but in fact it is not a so-called glaze factory, but a long street with profound culture. The original origin was in the late Qing Dynasty, when most of the scholars who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination lived in this area, so there were many shops selling books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone here.

Therefore, now the main business of Liuli Factory is mostly calligraphy and painting and other cultural and artistic works, which is very different from the Panjiayuan next door.

But it's funny, when ordinary people go to appreciate antique porcelain vases and the like, they will go to Panjiayuan to find the master's palm. It is estimated that there are not many people like me who come to this glass factory with three bottles.

However, from this point of view, this Jin Da Luoya must be a person who mainly sells calligraphy and painting works, but I don't know if he is a polite old man or an old and cunning businessman......

Beijing West is not very far from Liulichang, so it will take a while.

After getting off the bus, enter the long street of Liulichang, and look around, there are shops on both sides of the road. Many, many, many, all sorts. There are occasionally some toy shops in the middle, sandwiched between them, which is slightly abrupt.

As I looked, I felt inside. The address given by my grandmother said that the name of the store opened by Jin Da Luoya was Jinzhu Bao Zhai. I never thought that along the way, I didn't see the signboard of this golden bamboo Bao Zhai.

Fortunately, there are no people in Liulichang today, and the whole street is relatively deserted. I'm still very willing to take a look at this glass factory.

However, it seems that I was dragging the big box too conspicuously, and I was stopped by someone after just two steps.

"The brother who dragged the box in front, you are here to buy something, come and come, come to my store and have a look, I have calligraphy and paintings from various dynasties, all kinds of old books, I have them here. Absolutely genuine......"

When I turned around, I saw a small thin middle-aged man with a pair of small round eyes, leaning against the doorrail, calling me.

I looked up at the signboard and found that there was no signboard at all!

I'm afraid it's not a black store?

I was immediately on guard, shook my hand, and prepared to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he heard the little boss sigh behind him: "Alas, this broken place, I already knew that it would not come down, and there was not even a guest." ”

I secretly laughed to myself, he doesn't even have a signboard in this store, and it is estimated that eighty percent of those who dare to enter have "ideas".

However, did he just say something like "coil down"? Is his store a plate?

Thinking of this, I dragged the box back again.

When the man saw me turn around and come back, his eyes instantly lit up: "Oh, brother, you want to come to buy something, come in and have a look." ”

I nodded, put down the box, and pretended to go in and take a few looks. Sure enough, some of the calligraphy and paintings in the frame are engraved with the seal words of "Golden Bamboo Bao Zhai". This shop is really Jinzhu Bao Zhai!

"This objectivity, have you taken a fancy to these paintings, do you really have eyesight, these pictures are our best, they are all the treasures of the town, you see, do you want to?" The boss came over and tried his best to sell it.

I rolled my eyes, and I felt a little measured in my heart: this boss's eyesight is not very good, and I just happened to be using his words.

So, I pretended to touch my chin: "These are all fakes, how can they be said to be genuine, even defective products are not considered defective." Boss, I just heard that your store is plated, whose plate is it, you have suffered a big loss, there is nothing good in it...... No, no. ”

When the little thin monkey boss heard this, he stomped his feet, scratched his ears and cheeks, and said, "Hey, you shouldn't be on your head for a while and listen to the words of that big bucktooth." Let's put it this way, I originally opened a store in Panjiayuan, and the original owner of this store wanted my small store because of financial reasons, saying that he would change stores with me, and that all the things in the store belonged to me, and he didn't want anything from my store, as long as the storefront. As soon as I heard it, I went up and put it down. ”

"Pan Jiayuan? What were you selling?"

"Sell some handicrafts, the ones at the counter over there. To be honest, I really can't read these calligraphy and paintings. The boss pointed to the counter next to him, "Look, that's it, it can't be sold here." I said that the store was small, but in fact, the location was very good, hey, forget it......"

I took a look and found that there were some bodhi bracelets and jade bracelets on the counter. After a cursory glance, it should be the "inventory" that has been squeezed for many years.

"Boss, who is the guy who wants you to change stores? Is it someone with buckteeth in his mouth?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's him, it's him. Hey, I wanted to ask him to get the store back, but I couldn't find this person. My store had been closed for a few days, and I don't know if he had sold my store and run away. The little skinny monkey boss said, sighing again.

"That's okay, boss, I'll withdraw first, if you don't want to sell this store again, this location is still good, there's nothing to say." I excused myself and hurried out.

grabbed the suitcase and walked out of the glass factory, ready to kill Panjiayuan.

While waiting for the bus, I found Kim's phone number again and called. Sure enough, no one answered.

Originally, I made a phone call before I came here, thinking that I would call first. But I played for three days in a row, and either hung up or no one answered. Thinking that being idle anyway would be idle, I just came to Beijing directly.

Now, I finally understood why Kim Da Luoya's phone couldn't get through......

An hour later, I stood at the door of Panjiayuan, against the noon sun, and walked in.

The passenger flow of Panjiayuan is a lot more than that of Liulichang, and it is still relatively lively compared to Liulichang. After all, there are many small stalls and hawkers who have turned this Panjiayuan into a large-scale cultural and vegetable market.

But as the saying goes, "Panjiayuan has nine pits out of ten hawkers, and one is pitting." "This is true, most of the things here are antique and old-fashioned things, and occasionally there are some positive things, it depends on whose eyesight is good and can pick them up.

But I don't have the heart to pick up the leak now, I just want to find Jin Da Luoya as soon as possible.

Remember the owner saying that his shop was on the east side?

I looked around and determined that this was the east side of Pan's homeland. Which store is it?

I looked through all the shops in the neighborhood and finally stopped in front of a locked store. It should be here, this one of the shops in this neighborhood is locked, and the others are open.

I found the store, but I still didn't see Jin Da Luoya, I waited here for a while, and still no one came to open the door.

I simply pushed the box around the stall area here, while secretly watching the movement of this shop......

After a while, a stall owner caught my attention.

The stall owner was half a little old man, and when he spoke, he showed a mouth of big buckteeth, one of which was gold.

Such a coincidence? Could it be him?

Thinking about it, I decided to go over and talk to him.

On the stall of this little old man, there are a lot of things, including Bodhi jade bracelets, ceramic pottery shards, beeswax, rings and the like. It can be described as varied and all-encompassing.

I pretended to be there and watched, and the little old man was also happy to see a guest coming, and introduced this and that for me, and the rhetoric was the same as the previous little thin monkey boss, and it was said to be genuine.

I secretly laughed, if all the real products on this stall were genuine, would you still be here?

But Pan Jiayuan has its own rules of Pan Jiayuan, one of which is that you can't directly say that things are fake.

So, I said euphemistically: "Your things are pretty good, but I need a large item, is there a large item?"

"Oversize" is a secret word, the kind of items that stall owners usually put in warehouses or stores and do not take out.

Sure enough, as soon as I mentioned the big item, the boss was stunned.

Scratching his head, he suddenly squatted down and whispered: "If you really want to see it, I'll move it for you, the warehouse is too far away, so I won't trouble you to go, and there are no things, just a few things." ”

I smiled "hehe": "Okay, you look at moving one." ”

The little old man then asked the stall owner next door to help him watch the stall, and left by himself.

When he was gone, I stared at the faΓ§ade. After waiting for a while, I really saw the boss running over and opening the door of the shop.

To say that this little old man is also a good person, it took a big circle to come back. But he didn't know it, but he could clearly see the movement of the shop from me.

Seeing him open the door and slip in, I walked over with my suitcase. I was going to stop him when he came out.

Just as I was halfway there, the boss came out carrying a large vase.

Just between the lightning and flint, two people rushed up and grabbed the little old man's hand, and the little old man trembled, and the vase almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the last person who came over caught the vase steadily.

"It's also a Qing Dynasty anti-Song product with good workmanship, but it can't be broken, right, big buckteeth? But I didn't expect you to be so cunning, you changed the storefront twice, and went directly to set up a stall. Luckily, I found out today......"

The man was talking with a vase and big buckteeth, but why did his voice look so similar? Is that guy here too?
