Chapter 34: Turtles
After saying goodbye to Zhen Huaishui, Wan Jinyou walked all the way to the park bus station, got on a No. 205 bus, turned seven or eight stops, and got off at the antique street. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The antique street is located in the east of the city, which is a very old street, a long street with a width of 13 meters and a length of one and a half kilometers. It is full of all kinds of shops, a dazzling array of goods, of course, the styles of these goods are very ancient, and the types are even more varied, like what ancient jade, feng shui gourd, five emperor money, knife coins, vases, pots and pans, etc., etc., only you can't think of it, there is nothing they don't have! In addition to the shops, there are more stalls on both sides of the street, and there are more side antiques on the stalls.
The test of the antique street is people's eyesight, whether it is the goods in the store or the stalls, people's eyesight is exquisite, because the things inside are said to be antiques, but in fact they are not. For example, if you fancy a bronze knight, of course the store will talk about it in a big way, saying that there is nothing in the sky and no in the earth, and it is unique in the world, and it is worth a fortune. Instigating you to buy it, and then find a trust, so that you have to grit your teeth and smash all your savings to buy this so-called Western Zhou Dynasty Bronze Jue, but this may not be the case, when you look for an expert appraisal, it is likely that the Bronze Jue you bought is not the Western Zhou Dynasty, but last week's......
As soon as you enter the antique street, you can only see people coming and going, rubbing shoulders one after another, bustling, shouting, bargaining one after another, lively and extraordinary. Wan Jinyou looked at it strangely, looked at it with interest, looked at it east and west, but just looked at it and didn't buy it. There are many customers like him, and the stall owners are naturally not surprised.
After walking all the way, I looked at all the stalls and shops on this street, and I probably knew what to expect, so I found a shop called "Guangyuan Zhai" and walked in.
The reason why I chose this store is not only because the name of this store is antique, revealing an ancient meaning, and I dare to take the name "Guangyuan", which shows that the store has confidence in its goods and has sufficient supply. Moreover, "Guangyuan Zhai" is the largest shop in the antique street, and there are many more antiques in it than other shops, and even some unpopular and obscure antiques have some. Not only that, Guangyuan Zhai's reputation is also very good, it is a time-honored brand, it is said that the goods in it are at least hundreds of years old, of course, there are fakes, but there are not many.
As soon as I entered, I saw that the shelves were full of antiques, and there were many people in them. Wan Jinyou was a little surprised, and after a little thought, he figured out that the value of the goods on the first floor should not be large, otherwise there would not be so much. After a few glances, he was not interested, and found the staircase and walked up to the second floor.
The goods on the second floor are less than half of those on the first floor, but the value is much better than the goods on the first floor, and they are all more valuable. There are also many guests on the second floor, after all, even if you can't afford it, it's good to feast your eyes. Wan Jinyou smiled, turned around, and still felt dissatisfied, so he wanted to go up to the third floor.
As a result, when I walked to the staircase, I was blocked by a guy, and I saw the guy say politely, "I'm sorry for this gentleman, according to the rules of the store, you need to be qualified to go up to the third floor, and if you don't have enough qualifications, you can't go up!" ”
"Eligibility?" Wan Jinyou frowned and asked, "What qualifications do you need?" ”
"Because the items on it are too valuable, not anyone can enter them, please forgive me, sir!" The guy showed a hint of apology on his face and said, "There are three ways to go up to the third floor: first, the big customers in our store, the old customers, such customers often deal with us, and we know the roots, so we can let them go up with confidence; The second type of person is a token issued by the store, which is a kind of recognition of the store, so you can also enter it; The third is the recommendation of the above two people, and you can also enter it if you are worth more than one million! ”
"I have a token, but I have tokens in many stores, and I don't know which one is your store, so I'll take it out and let you see which one is!" Wan Jinyou groaned for a moment, and reached out to find a large string of so-called tokens from the cloth bag.
When the guy looked at it, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he saw that the tokens in Wan Jinyou's hand were various, including copper sheets, iron sheets, and jade pieces, and there were more than a dozen kinds of materials, and there were countless shapes, including triangles, diamonds, hooks, and some were animal shapes, fish, shrimp, crabs, elephants, foxes, and eagles...... At the very least, there are a few hundred, which is dazzling.
The guy was dizzy, and it was impossible for him to see it one by one, so he had to helplessly take out a piece of paper from his body, he spread out the paper, and saw that there was a token-shaped token painted on it, and the patterns on the front and back were lifelike, and there was an introduction to the token on it, such as the material, what is the function, etc.
Wan Jinyou looked at it for a while, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be this thing, I have it, I have it." Because I saw that it was a little special, I put it separately. As he spoke, he put the large string of tokens in his hand back into the cloth bag, and took out a token for a while before taking out a token-shaped token and handing it over.
The guy looked at him in surprise, but he didn't expect him to actually take out the token, he thought that Wan Jinyou was just talking. At that moment, I didn't hesitate to take it and looked at it several times, but I didn't see anything wrong, and respectfully returned it to Wan Jinyou and said, "Mr. can go up, where the duty is just now, I hope to forgive me one or two!" ”
"It's okay, you're doing your duty!" Wan Jinyou replied, the man got out of the way, and he went up to the third floor.
The goods on the third floor are only half of those on the second floor, but they are some calligraphy, paintings, calligraphy and the like, all of which are from the hands of famous artists. There are Su Huang Mi Cai's, and there are Zhang Xu Huaisu's. In addition to calligraphy and painting, there are also some porcelain, pottery, like blue and white porcelain, glaze red and other Song and Yuan dynasties. There were very few guests on the third floor, only a few people.
An old man with gray hair, who looked to be in his sixties, wearing a pair of reading glasses, was looking closely, followed by two young men and women, a man and a woman, about twenty years old, whispering, looking very intimate.
On the other side is a middle-aged man, with a Chinese character and a very square face, with a somewhat elegant face, wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses, a scholar's dress, and is holding a magnifying glass to study a blue and white porcelain.
Seeing someone coming up, these people all looked back, and their faces were all surprised. You must know that those who can go up to the third floor are generally people of a certain age, and the youngest are middle-aged people over forty. The appearance of 20,000 Jin You looks too young, and he is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and it is not impossible to go up to the third floor with this age, but they are all children of some families, and they are the most outstanding kind. But all of these came in under the shadow of the elders, just like the two young men and women, who could only come in after the elders.
However, it seems that Wan Jinyou came up alone, and he was not accompanied by his elders, which is worth intriguing. And looking at Wan Jinyou's appearance, if it were the children of the family, there was no reason why they couldn't recognize it. Maybe this young man stole the tokens of his elders, and they couldn't help but think of this possibility. Thinking of this, they didn't look at Wan Jinyou much and continued to concentrate on their own affairs.
While they were watching Wan Jin You, Wan Jin You was also looking at these people carefully, and all of them who could come up here were local tyrants with status and status, and they were either rich or expensive. is much richer than him, a poor **, and secretly evaluates these people as "rich people" in his heart.
Then he looked carefully at the antiques on the shelf, and saw if he had taken out one or two antiques and looked at them, and then shook his head again, as if he didn't look at it, and put it back in place and picked up another one to look at. I saw more than a dozen things in a row, but I couldn't see them at a glance, and I don't know if his vision was too high or the value of antiques was really not good?
This aroused the interest of the middle-aged man, and he came over and asked, "I see that the little brother hasn't looked at it for a long time, can't the things here enter your eyes?" ”
Wan Jinyou put the porcelain in his hand back into its place, and said with a smile, "The age of these porcelains is real, they are all from the Song and Yuan dynasties, but the value is not large, and they are all for those who don't know the goods." The real thing isn't just going to be put out here for people to see. ”
The young man couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and said sarcastically, "Snort! I thought it was a knowledgeable person, but I didn't expect it to be a layman, and I didn't know how to pretend to understand talking nonsense there! And the words are contradictory, since they are all porcelain from the Song and Yuan dynasties, how can the value be not big, do you say that the goods of Guangyuanzhai are fake? ”
"Brother Hao, you are so amazing, you actually know so much! That turtle doesn't understand anything, and he dares to say big things there, so he should be debunked like this! Look at how he pretends to be! The woman said with a look of adoration.
After listening to the woman's words, Brother Hao had a smug face and said proudly, "Sister Fu is too famous!" ”。
Wan Jinyou showed a strange look on his face, glanced at the little couple, smiled and didn't say anything, and continued to pick up a porcelain and study it carefully.
When Brother Hao saw that he didn't speak, he thought he was timid, and his face was even more colorful, and he had to inch in, "Today's young people don't learn and don't know how to do it, and they still prefer to show off, and they don't know how to pretend to understand!" I thought I was so powerful, but in fact, it was just a straw bale with a bad stomach! ”
"Brother Hao, you are a scholarly family, how can you be compared to those turtles?" The girl flattered.
Wan Jinyou's face was even more strange, and he watched the two of them perform with a smile and didn't say a word.
The middle-aged man's face was also very strange, and he looked at the young man and woman meaningfully.
