Chapter 2: Bright Instruments

The homonym of the Ming vessel, people out of taboo said that the Ming ware was later changed to the Ming vessel, the Ming ware refers to those utensils that are specially used for burial, including paper, pottery, metal and jade. The thickness of the Ming vessel can reflect the level of a person's wealth and social status during his life. Jade products are the most common among Ming vessels, jade can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and everyone with social status believes that even after death, jade can make their souls immortal.

The most elaborate way to place the burial jade is to place two jade ingots at the feet of the deceased, and then place seven jade coins on the head, which means that the seven stars on the top of the head step on the wealth, and the fortune comes from the head.

Ming ware has a great reference role in the study of a dynasty, and it is also a huge intangible wealth, so it is very risky to resell Ming ware, and it is a matter of losing your head if you don't get it right, which is equivalent to taking the country's money to fatten your own pocket.

However, the Ming instrument trading has its own rules, the underground digging out of the underground trade, the Ming instrument trading can be described as an undercurrent surging in dire straits, there are many fakes, so that the genuine products only account for less than 5%, this is still the market in Xi'an, I heard that in Beijing is only 3% of the genuine products, and the rest are all fakes, what a terrible trading insider, fortunately, we only sell not buy.

Big Mouth is better than me in this regard, and this is due to the fact that Big Mouth has a talent for this, is as careful as a hair, and is not soft when it is time to speak.

Xi'an is basically the same as Tianjin, but foreigners seem to have a few more than Tianjin, with a book in their hands, walking and drawing, or bringing a camera, casually clicking.

Big Mouth took me directly to a place called Xiaodongmen, and told me not to speak, look at his eyes and act, I nodded and agreed, then pretend to be dumb for a few days, anyway, there is nothing to say.

The small east gate mentioned by Dazui is actually a small bungalow stacked among the high-rise buildings, the street is not wide, and there are a variety of merchants and shops on both sides, and the shops are full of antique utensils.

At this time, there was sparse traffic on the street, and occasionally a few big-footed immortals could be seen poking their heads out to watch for a while, and then immediately retracted.

Big Mouth didn't ask door-to-door, but went directly into a shop called Yu Ji Antique City, the inside of the store was very spacious, and a white-bearded old man with half a foot had already entered the coffin squinted at me and Big Mouth, looked at him for a while, and smiled heartily at Big Mouth.

The big mouth said to me: "This is the predecessor of Yu Deyuan that I often mention with you, you can call Uncle Yu, Uncle Yu is also an old-timer, learn more with Uncle Yu in the future."

I secretly scolded Big Mouth, when did you tell me about the number one person, but Big Mouth did not disappoint me, and secretly contacted the sales channel of Mingqi.

I smiled and nodded to the old man, and said, "I have long heard that Uncle Yu was young with hands and eyes, and it seems that I will inevitably have to ask Uncle Yu for advice in the future, and I hope you will give you advice at that time."

Uncle Yu looked like a very ghostly person, and he didn't leak a drop when he spoke, "Haha, I don't dare to ask for advice, but now it's the world of you young people, and I'm useless with my old eyes."

Uncle Yu said as he poured a cup of tea for me and Dazui, or the kind of big teacup with * written on it, I withdrew in front of the two of them with the teacup, drinking the tea, admiring the strange antiques in the store.

I saw Uncle Yu's ghost head and ghost brain looked outside, and then lowered his voice to the big mouth and said, "Xiaozi, Qin Ling must have gained a lot?" ”

Big Mouth nodded heavily, and then motioned for Uncle Yu to speak in a different place.

Uncle Yu smiled knowingly, and simply closed the door of the store with his backhand, clicked, and inserted a big bolt.

Said with a smile: "Two virtuous nephews, please" As he spoke, he gave way to me and Big Mouth in the back room, the back room is not big, there is a local table of eight immortals, and there are a few magnifying glasses and a small brush on the table.

Big Mouth and I were not polite, we directly found two stools and sat down, and then Big Mouth put the bag on the table of the Eight Immortals, and began to put things out one by one, a total of sixteen secret color porcelain bowls and eight plates, and more than forty gems, and waited for Big Mouth to put all the things one by one. I found that Lao Yutou's face was green, he trembled with a pair of wrinkled hands and picked up a secret color porcelain bowl, knocked again, smelled again, and then used a magnifying glass to shine for a long time, before reluctantly putting it down, his mouth couldn't stop smacking, "Good thing, Tang Dynasty secret color porcelain, and it can appear so much at one time, it must be a palace thing"

I said in my heart, in fact, we only got less than a tenth, and if we put it all in front of you, we must not scare your old man to death.

At this time, the big mouth opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Yu, you see, this kind of thing is the first to show its face here, and it is not good to change places, so you look at the price......

The big mouth cut off the middle of the words, and looked at Yu Deyuan meaningfully, as if the two were communicating with their eyes.

The next moment, Yu Deyuan said with a smile: "The price is good, the virtuous nephew can rest assured, we were also a family five hundred years ago, it is definitely the highest price in the market, and the old man is still counting on long-term cooperation with the virtuous nephew to make a fortune together, so out of my Yu Ji, I'm afraid you can't find a second master who understands the goods." ”

The big mouth glanced at me, and wanted to listen to my opinion, in fact, I have nothing to say, as long as the price is about the same, and I don't expect to eat a fat man through a transaction, I can find a reliable and sincere buy, and the main thing is that the long stream of water is the main thing.

I said: "Since Uncle Yu has said this, our brothers will all listen to Uncle Yu, and we will make a fortune together, and we will need to rely on Uncle Yu in the future."

Lao Yu saw that there was a play, and said to us and Dazui: "The two virtuous nephews are young and promising, fast talking, clean and neat, and have a great future in the future. ”

The next thing was simple, Lao Yutou went out for a while, and then brought in two people, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties and a strong body, followed by a young woman in her early twenties.

Generally, at least three people are needed to pour the Mingqi, one is responsible for receiving the goods, such as Yu Deyuan, and the other is responsible for running the goods, which is the person who is specifically responsible for the transfer to other places. The third person is responsible for inquiring about all kinds of news and dredging all kinds of relationships. Some places are also called running halls, and the hall is the meaning of yamen.

After everything was done, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, Yu Deyuan politely left us for dinner, in fact, he wanted to win over the feelings, and we were not polite, anyway, the stomach began to call, and besides, this business, the old Yu Tou is afraid that he will make a lot of money, and he should let him bleed a little.

After the wine and food came out, I asked the old man Yu Deyuan if he could be trusted, and the big mouth told me that who did this business was not as good as the ghosts, all for money, so don't expect to have a heart-to-heart with them.

Then there was nothing to do, and suddenly turned his head with a big mouth and said: "Lao Cui, take you to a fun place, let you see our big northwest girl, which waiter is beautiful."

I don't know what the hell this kid is up to, anyway, he has nothing to do now, and he is idle, to be honest, I've lived for almost twenty years, and I really haven't had any direct contact with a girl except for my mother.

I said to the big mouth: "Don't say it high-sounding, the main thing is that you kid can't hold it, I can only give you a counselor, as for other things, it depends on your big mouth"
