Chapter 14 Picking up the missing blue and white porcelain

From the first middle school to the KFC restaurant, about 800 meters, you have to pass a flower and bird antique market in the middle.

Xia Aiming deliberately showed off and deliberately took Ye Yi and Xia Min across the flower and bird antique market.

At this time, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the flower and bird antique market was full of bird walkers and flower and fish sellers, and a few antique sellers were laying on the floor, and the plastic sheets were covered with rags that I don't know where they got them.

The incense burner with missing feet, the black copper coins, the bowls made of broken porcelain pieces, the black bricks carved with the figures of flowers and birds, and the white stones that are not clear whether they are jade or white marble......

"Don't underestimate these broken copper and iron, if you really have good luck and pick up good things, one in and one out, it is a house in the provincial capital."

"Why is it called pickup? Isn't it buying? ”

Xia Min didn't understand.

Xia Aiming said with a smile: "This is jargon, which means that you can buy a very valuable antique at a very cheap price, and the seller doesn't know it yet." The buying price is often not even one percent of the selling price, isn't it the same as the one you picked up? ”

"So that's the case," Xia Min's eyes rolled, "Dad, let's pick up a few pieces today?" ”

Xia Aiming was speechless: "Picking up leaks is not to go to the street to buy clothes, this thing is unavoidable." ”

Xia Min pouted.

A few stall practitioners saw that the big and small people were talking about picking up leaks on the street, and knew that it was a fat sheep coming, and they greeted them and said: "Little girl come and take a look, I have good things from the Han Dynasty, and if I pick them up, I will earn them." ”

Xia Aiming glanced at it and said, "Yes, I'm going to break the fortune today, you two can go and see it casually, and buy whatever you like." ”

Xia Min was overjoyed and pulled Ye Yi to start flipping through the stall.

Xia Aiming stood helplessly behind them, looking around.

Suddenly, his eyes were startled, and his eyes fell on the orchid that the stall owner used to press the plastic sheeting.

The orchid grass has not yet grown, and at first glance it looks no different from leeks, but the porcelain bowl for raising orchids is a real blue and white porcelain!

Xia Aiming has made a fortune by relying on policies in recent years, and has seen a lot of the world, so he has also become elegant, reading and practicing calligraphy on weekdays, talking about the past and the present, and naturally he will not forget to collect antiques.

This blue and white porcelain bowl in the flower and bird market is cutting right to his death hole!

Xia Min quickly picked out a good thing, it was a white jade cicada with a very poor texture, and she pulled Xia Aiming's sleeve: "I want this." ”

Xia Aiming wanted to get the stall owner's orchid plate, so naturally he didn't mind the price of the jade cicada, so he paid casually and immediately said to the stall owner: "This plate of orchids is good, how much is it?" ”

The stall owner held out three fingers.

"Thirty?"

The stall owner shook his head.

"Three?"

The stall owner gave him a blank look: "Three hundred!" ”

"What! Three hundred! Are you fools to me! Xia Aiming pretended to be angry, "Even the peony flowers are less than three hundred!" ”

"Orchids are gentlemen among flowers, how can ordinary flowers and plants be compared! What's more, my orchid was dug up from the mountains, and the whole mountain and field was just one flower, absorbing enough aura of heaven and earth, and it was cheap to sell you for 300 yuan. ”

Xia Aiming's mind was not on the orchid, the stall owner blew the orchid casually, and he immediately pretended to be persuaded and said, "It's also, the orchid that has absorbed the aura of heaven and earth...... Three hundred is three hundred, but you'll have to give it to me with the flowers. ”

"Of course, orchids are so fragile that they will die if they are not careful when they are repotted."

The stall owner happily gave Xia Aiming the orchid pot with the blue and white porcelain below.

Xia Aiming was overjoyed, holding the orchid and leaving.

At this time, Ye Yi pointed to a black and slimy thing on the stall and said, "Uncle, can you buy me this thing?" ”

"What is this?"

Xia Aiming picked up the thing that Ye Yi liked and tossed it in his hand a few times.

It was a metal hook with a dark surface of mud, shaped like a bear and an elephant.

"Want?"

Ye Yi nodded.

She doesn't know how to appreciate antiques, and she will take a fancy to this hook at a glance, because there are dozens of things in the stall, only the surface of this hook is flowing with gas.

Although it is not like the jade gourd that the master gave him is surrounded by golden rui qi, or the jade pendant left by his mother is forever hovering like a dense mist, but its surface is indeed entangled with qi!

It's still a stinging Jin Ge sharp spirit!

This thing is not simple! Buy it even if you borrow money!

Xia Aiming asked the stall owner, "How much?" ”

"Brother, we have a fate today, so let's sell you five yuan!"

"Five pieces...... How dare you! My daughter only costs 10 yuan to buy a jade piece! ”

Xia Aiming was a little distressed about money.

The stall owner said, "You don't look at how big this thing is, when scrap copper and rotten iron can be sold for two yuan!" ”

Xia Aiming gritted his teeth, took out a big unity, and handed it to the stall owner: "Gotta get it!" Five is five! ”

The stall owner happily hooked the metal ribbon to Ye Yi.

Ye Yi took the metal belt hook, and felt that the palm of his hand was about to be pierced by the Jin Ge sharp qi on the surface of the belt hook!

……

In the early years of KFC restaurants, the menu was very monotonous, just plain chicken, chicken mashed potatoes, shredded salad, burgers, ice cream, bread, and drinks were coke, 7-up, Mirinda, and beer.

Xia Aiming sat at the table and watched the two girls eat KFC.

Unable to hold back his excitement, he picked up the blue and white porcelain under the orchid, carefully wiped it with a tissue, and kept exclaiming "good things" in his mouth.

Xia Min couldn't understand it, and said to Ye Yi: "Is my father evil?" In the supply and marketing cooperative, five yuan can buy a dozen, but he actually spent 300 yuan to buy one and looked like he had made a lot of money. ”

Ye Yi knew why Xia Aiming bought orchids at a high price, so he didn't answer Xia Min's question.

Xia Aiming couldn't bear to see the blue and white porcelain defiled, so he taught his daughter and said, "What do you know! It's not a broken bowl! This is blue and white porcelain! Look at the glaze, and the patterns...... It's obviously an official kiln boutique! Xiaomin, let me tell you, if this thing meets someone who knows how to do it, let alone 300 yuan...... Three thousand dollars may not be willing to take it out to show you! ”

"Gotta get it, you're amazing!"

Xia Min said lazily.

Ye Yi couldn't stand it, and said to Xia Aiming: "Uncle Xia, if this flower pot is really blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, why is he willing to sell it to you for 300 yuan?" ”

"He doesn't know the goods! I missed it. Xia Aiming said proudly.

"But his wild orchid costs three hundred dollars."

Ye Yi reminded Xia Aiming.

She didn't know how to appreciate antiques, but she saw that the man's stall was only a metal hook with air on the surface.

Xia Aiming snorted and said, "He wants to fool me!" It's a pity for me - wait! He was originally a seller of antiques, so how could he not know that this porcelain bowl could be sold for a higher price when it was blue and white...... Ahhh I've been tricked! I'm! ”

Xia Aiming was so angry that he wanted to smash the orchid on the spot.

Xia Min said, "Dad, let's go to him!" Get the money back! ”

Xia Aiming smiled bitterly: "Can't find it!" There are rules in the antique shop, whether it is an eye or a leak, you can't come to the door to find it afterwards. ”

"What bullshit is this!"

Xia Min slapped the table.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked into the restaurant.

He walked up to the counter and said to the waiter, "Comrade, give me 50 original chicken and mashed potato sets to take away." ”
