Chapter 151: Ghost City (1)
"Brother Yun, where are we going?"
In the white Audi car, Song Fei patted Tang Yun in the passenger seat and asked.
"Ghost City!" Tang Yun turned his head and smiled mysteriously at Seinfeld.
At this time, it was getting dark, and Tang Yun, Song Fei, Lu Weijie and Wang Yu were sitting in the Audi car.
Zhou Jiajia and others stayed in the hotel to help take care of Zhou Nanfeng and the others.
Before coming to Ping City, Tang Yun had checked some information about Ping City on the Internet.
On the Pingshi forum, some local netizens specifically introduced that Pingshi starts at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays every week, and lasts for three hours, and there will be some mobile antique vendors who set up stalls on the old streets of Pingshi.
Because the location of the old street is relatively remote, and the lights along the way are sparse and dim, illuminating the ghosts of the crowd, some people call this antique mobile market a ghost market!
According to the map in the car, Tang Yun and the others quickly arrived at the location of Lao Cai.
"Brother Yun, are you sure this is a ghost city?"
After getting out of the car, Seinfeld looked at the brightly lit streets in front of him, coupled with the crowds coming and going, he really couldn't tell where this was like the ghost market Tang Yun said.
"This, I forgot to tell you, that post was three years ago..."Tang Yun scratched his head and sneered.
"Are you kidding the two of us?" Seinfeld rolled his eyes.
Lu Weijie on the side also cast a contemptuous look at Tang Yun.
"Anyway, we're all here, let's take a look!" Tang Yun said with a smile.
"Yes, are we going to watch separately or together?" Seinfeld asked.
"Of course it's separated! Let's see it together, when do you have to see it?" Lu Weijie replied first.
"My sister is right!"
Tang Yun said: "Let's look at it separately first, and in two hours, we'll go back here to gather, what do you think?"
"Okay!"
"No problem!"
Before parting, Tang Yun specially instructed the two to see as much as possible and buy less.
In today's antique market, 80 or 90 percent of them are usually modern imitation handicrafts.
Those small stall vendors are even more set of tricks, and they can tell the fake as the real thing, and the ultimate goal is to make you pay for it.
However, Seinfeld and Lu Weijie are not the kind of newcomers who don't understand it at all.
In particular, Lu Weijie is said to have collected antique treasures from his father, Lu Chengda, enough to hold a small exhibition.
After all, both of them were born in wealthy families, and they usually have a lot of antiques at home, so they are naturally no strangers to this.
But even so, Seinfeld and the others still took Tang Yun's instructions to heart, and it was always right to be cautious.
After the three separated, Tang Yun took Wang Yu to watch while walking.
The streets of the old street in front of him were not as dirty and messy as Tang Yun had seen on the forum, but were neatly arranged on both sides.
In addition, a bright incandescent lamp is hung on each stall, and the street lamps on both sides illuminate the antiquities on the stall clearly, and even the flashlight and magnifying glass are omitted.
After all, it was the night before the public market in Pingshi, and there were many people standing at various stalls at this time.
Tang Yun walked around, and saw that a stall not far away was empty, so he immediately took Wang Yu forward, walked until he stood in front of the stall, and squatted down. <

The stalls in front of you are filled with all kinds of ceramics and jade, as well as some ancient coins.
Although there are many ancient coins, they are almost always bargains, and they do not have much collection value.
Tang Yun carefully looked at the pile of ancient jade on the stall, there were a total of forty pieces in front of him, and he looked at a few pieces at random, Tang Yun couldn't help but shake his head, more than half of these so-called ancient jades were not jade at all, they just looked a little like it.
I have to say that the level of these fakes is quite high, and ordinary people may not be able to distinguish it.
The remaining dozen or so pieces of jadeite are real jade, but they are relatively poor, and they are basically not worth a few dollars.
Seeing this, Tang Yun concentrated on looking at ceramics.
Ceramics refers to the general term of pottery and porcelain, and the Chinese people invented ceramics as early as about 8,000 to 2,000 B.C., still in the so-called Neolithic Age.
The utensils fired with clay are called pottery, and the utensils fired with porcelain clay are called porcelain, and all the utensils made of clay with two different properties of clay and china clay as raw materials, through batching, molding, drying, roasting and other technological processes, can be called ceramics.
Most of the ceramics and porcelain in this stall can be seen everywhere, such as blue and white porcelain and glazed porcelain of various colors, of course, most of them are modern imitation crafts.
However, there were two pieces of porcelain that caught Tang Yun's attention.
These are two piercing ear bottles of about fifteen centimeters, Tang Yun looked at them carefully, this pair of piercing ear bottles are exactly the same regardless of size, shape, or even pattern, in addition to having two small ears.
The pierced ear bottle is one of the porcelain bottles fired by ancient craftsmen, popular in the Song Dynasty of China, the shape of the vessel imitates the style of the Han Dynasty pitching pot, the straight neck is long, the abdomen is flattened, the foot is circled, and the two sides of the neck are symmetrically attached to the vertical tubular piercing ears.
Pierced ear bottles were fired in Ge kiln, Guan kiln and Longquan kiln, etc., and were also imitated in the Qing Dynasty.
The two ear-piercing bottles in front of me are depicted with a dragon-shaped pattern, and the rest of the colors are also varied.
Tang Yun estimated that this should be a pair of colorful dragon elephant ear bottles, but it is not clear whether it is true or not.
Without hesitation, Tang Yun directly squinted his left eye and looked, one, two, three, four, five, six, this pair of colorful dragon elephant ear bottles actually had six apertures.
Now it is clear that these two bottles are undoubtedly genuine products of the Ming Dynasty.
Since it is genuine, and it is a good pair, it must be worth five or six hundred thousand.
"Boss, how do you sell this pair of bottles?"
After knowing that it was genuine, Tang Yun naturally would not let it go.
The stall owner glanced at the porcelain vase that Tang Yun was referring to, which he had just received from a farmer this morning, and the stall owner did not know the specific price of this pair of porcelain vases, so he thought about it a little and said, "This little brother, will you buy this pair of bottles?
Tang Yun had already seen the other antiques on this stall, and there were almost no good goods except for this pair of bottles, so Tang Yun shook his head at the boss: "I want this pair of bottles, it's not too early, I have to go back later!"
Seeing this, the stall owner looked a little disappointed, looked at the bottles and said, "I bought these bottles at a great price, if you want them, then give them four thousand three! If you want other things, I can give you a cheaper price!"
In fact, he only spent less than two hundred yuan on this pair of bottles, but after all, it was a business, so he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to tell the truth.
Tang Yun glanced at the stall owner, although his expression looked like a pleading, but Tang Yun was not the kind of newcomer who didn't understand anything, so naturally he wouldn't believe what he said.
"Boss, four thousand three must be expensive, you want me to see two thousand at most!"
