After looking around the plane for a while, I lost interest, fell asleep, and woke up again in the afternoon, and when I walked out of the airport, the sun was shining, and I couldn't open my eyes.

After changing several new environments in a row, Lin Fanyin was a little uncomfortable, she grabbed my hand nervously, and her little hands were full of fragrant sweat. I shook her hand and motioned her to relax, suppressed the tension in my heart, and followed Uncle Hai and Dajin out of the airport.

Fortunately, Daikin is a person who has seen the world, and he is not as reserved as me. There was already a car waiting outside the airport, it was an extended black sedan, and people like me who didn't know how to drive could see that this car was more than ten times better than Daikin's Audi.

We got on the bus and went around in Beijing, on the bridge and under the bridge, and after a while, we were not divided into south, south, south, and northwest. But Beijing, which is full of high-rise buildings, instantly overwhelmed me with the atmosphere of modernity. Daikin has long said that there is a difference between a city and a city, but now when I come to Kyoto, I feel that the place where I used to live is too small and too small.

After a while, the car finally stopped. Uncle Hai took the lead and got out of the car, and we followed. This place is not like the forest of buildings just seen, but an old street, lined with some antique buildings, wooden windows, with mud tiles and cornices, and the walls painted in red and painted, or unicorn beasts, or phoenixes and birds, antique.

There is a three-storey archway at the entrance of the street, which reads 'Liulichang Cultural Street'. Walking into the old street after Uncle Hai, I saw some stalls in front of the ancient buildings on both sides, all of which were selling calligraphy, painting and antiques, strange stones and trees. I glanced at a few things, and I noticed a few things that were in good shape. But Uncle Hai's footsteps don't stop, and I can't stop asking. Looking at Dajin again, this old guy is also scratching his ears and cheeks, like a thief who entered Debao Mountain and returned empty-handed.

Turn left and right in the glaze factory, and finally arrive at the middle of the ancient street, this is the only empty shop I saw in the ancient street, slightly smaller than other shops, but it is better than located at the intersection of the two streets, extending in all directions. The top is a mud tile cornice, the exterior wall is painted with red paint, antique, and the plaque at the door is still empty.

Uncle Hai stood still at the door and said, "Two brothers, how about this?" ”

Dajin looked around, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good shop, it extends in all directions, and it's definitely a good place to make money." ”

I also nodded, this shop is really good, originally I suspected that Uncle Hai would perfunctory give us a remote shop, but now I am overjoyed when I see it.

Uncle Hai looked at the two of us who were satisfied, and said, "It's good to be satisfied, it's good to be satisfied!" In this glaze factory, seventy percent of them are our insiders, and the rest of the laymen have also paid a lot of land fees. It's not easy for us to get rid of people, and it just so happens that the shopkeeper of this bookstore is not doing well, so I gave him some money to vacate the shop...... Let's go, my brother and I will go in and see the goods. ”

When he said this, I remembered that he had promised to give us a shop of wet goods, and I was suddenly in a mood and followed Uncle Hai into the shop.

The shop is cleaned cleanly, and there are three layers of purple wood shelves on the first floor, on which porcelain, jade, strange stones, and ancient books are stacked neatly.

Dajin picked up a purple sand teapot, looked at it, and said in surprise: "Uncle Hai, this is all genuine, your gift is really a bit big......"

I was mentally prepared, but my blood was still surging when I heard it. Such a room is really ornamental, what kind of tomb is robbed? If you sell these things, you won't be able to spend them for a lifetime.

Uncle Hai shook his head and said: "Brother Jin doesn't know, you are exalting me too much, although Uncle Hai and I don't stick to the summary, I don't have such a big deal." These things are genuine...... But brother, have you ever heard of the saying 'real things are old'? ”

Genuine worn? I was stunned, and although I didn't know what it meant, I had a sense of foreboding in my heart.

Dajin was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look at the purple clay pot in his hand, looked at the money, touched the body of the pot again, and noticed that something was wrong: "This bag of pulp is smooth and round...... It's a first-class clay pot, but the quality of this tire is wrong...... The payment is the payment of the Ming Dynasty, how can the Ming Dynasty have such a good fetal quality...... Could it be that I paid a lot of money and walked away? Is this a fake? Da Phnom Penh said, his eyes were a little red, he was also the owner of an antique shop before he robbed the tomb, and he had also practiced a pair of bright tricks, but he was attacked here.

This room is all fakes? I looked at Uncle Hai a little unkindly, after all, the price of wet goods and Xibei goods is simply heaven and earth, if it is a fake, look at this room again, it is not a big deal.

Uncle Hai saw that we were both a little anxious, and said, "Hey, don't worry, don't worry!" Who told you it was a fake? ”

Dajin put the purple clay pot back heavily, and his face was a little unsightly: "Before I robbed the tomb of Dajin, it was also considered to be an invasion of ** Dao, if this purple clay pot is not fake, how can the material not match the age?" Hehe, thanks to your reminder Uncle Hai, it's really a long insight, a long insight. ”

Dakin's temper has also come up, if you want to say it, give you a mountain of gold, it's all shit up close, so who is not angry? also thanks to Uncle Hai's great strength, Dajin suppressed his temper, but he was a little mean in his mouth.

Uncle Hai is also a sophisticated person, how can he not listen to the sharpness of Dajin's words. just laughed, and he wasn't annoyed: "Brother Jin, I wanted you to make a living as an antique, it was many years ago, right?" ”

Daikin was patient: "No more, no less, it's been ten years." ”

Uncle Hai nodded when he heard it: "That's it, don't you want to think about it, ten years, the vicissitudes of life, what was the situation ten years ago?" To tell the truth, this Liulichang Cultural Street was also built in the past five years. Ten years ago, the glaze factory, all the stalls, at that time the people were stocky, the stalls were true, the fake was fake, the discerning people went up to take a walk, they could pick up a lot of good things, and many people made a fortune because of this. ”

Dajin nodded again and again when he said this, he was also a stall at that time, and he finally practiced a pair of good eyes in and out, but he couldn't bear the loneliness, and was knocked down by the people who came to sell local goods, and the stall became a tomb robber as soon as he closed it. Now that I think about it, if Daikin had persisted, he would definitely have made some famous names in ten years, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in the world.

Uncle Hai continued: "Ten years later, now, there are fewer and fewer genuine goods on the surface of the stall. People are getting more and more sophisticated, so there is such a thing as 'real and old'. Brother Jin, you have withdrawn from the antique world for many years, and naturally you don't understand the mysteries, Uncle Hai, I will tell you about it to open your eyes. Saying that, Uncle Hai sat down at the Eight Immortals table in the lobby and instructed the guy to make a pot of tea.

We knew very well that what Uncle Hai said would be the way to do business in the future, so we hurriedly sat down. Uncle Hai continued: "To put it bluntly, 'real and old' is called 'fine imitation'. Just like this purple clay pot. He got up and took the purple clay pot that Dajin had taken again, put it in his hand and kneaded it, and said, "I can tell you that this purple clay pot is a veritable real wet product." ”

Dajin was about to speak when he heard this, but Uncle Hai stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "This is a purple clay pot of the Republic of China. It is a high-quality material, coupled with the influence of history, the price will naturally increase several times. It's just that this imitation person has no brains and ignores the material problem, so that Brother Jin can see through it. ”

I heard what Uncle Hai said, and I already understood three points in my heart. Lin Fanyin didn't understand it at all, so she simply went to see those antiques curiously. Dajin couldn't help but say: "Then according to what you mean by Uncle Hai, the things in this house are all imitated with real antiques?" ”

When Uncle Hai heard this, he gave Dajin a thumbs up and said, "The children can be taught...... Antiques, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were already a lot of imitations, and later they were used by some shrewd people, and they immediately spread. If you look at the stalls outside that can't afford to rent shops, there are some very good goods on the stalls, and you say, can those be real? ”

I suddenly remembered the antiques we had seen on the stalls when we first entered the glaze factory, many of which were in excellent condition and eye-catching, and some of the ancient jade even resembled the dragon-shaped jade pendant on the neck of the big gold. At that time, we also said that we had entered the golden nest, which was really funny.

Daikin was obviously just as I thought, and his face was a little unsightly.

Uncle Hai saw that the two of us showed a clear face, and said, "You must not look down on this thing because it is a fake. 'Imitation' of the depth of a water is not something you can imagine. Like some of the lower products look like the real thing, but after careful identification, touch the nose with your hands and smell it, you will know that the value is not high, and most of them are full of decorations, such as this purple clay pot. But among the 'fine imitations', more of them are made with real antiques and exclusive craftsmanship. These imitations, the general old oil is difficult to distinguish the authenticity, because there are few flaws in the top grade, if you want to distinguish, you still have to look at the subtle traces on it......

'Imitation' to the extreme, it is the best. To this extent, the imitation of things often cost a lot of effort and very precious materials by craftsmen, and the antiquities created are generally the same as the originals, not to mention the bright eyes, even if they are taken for scientific identification, they can't distinguish the real from the fake. But if such a superb product is to be made, the actual price is even more expensive than the price of the real thing, so the best 'fine imitation' is rarely ......."

I listened to Uncle Hai's explanation, and my mood surged. It is said that seventy-two lines, tomb robbery is king. This is talking about the outer seventy-two lines, and the inner thirty-six lines, but antiques are king. The prosperity of antiques and troubles, the doorway is not shallow compared to the tomb robbery.

I was sighing, but Daikin asked Uncle Hai: "Uncle Hai, wow, according to what you say, what is the quality of our 'imitation' in this room?" ”
