Chapter 384: Picking Up Leaks
On Sunday, Ai Lao was bored and said to Xinran.
"Girl, you are also an intermediate appraiser now, you can go and pick up the leaks, find time for us to go to Panjiayuan together.
Since the bone china sent by Ma Wuye has induction, Xinran has a strong interest in antiques, but he has been busy recently, and he really can't find time to hang out, and he has just pushed everything to Guo Kai's think tank in the past few days.
She wanted to find a chance to test whether she could distinguish other real and fake antiques. On the surface, he pretended to be cautious.
"Master, can I pick up leaks at my level now?" looked at the master in a daze.
"Silly girl, what are you looking at? I said you can do it, my apprentice can't do it, you have to be confident! ”
Ai Lao didn't know what the apprentices of the Daoist Appraiser Contest were doing, and thought that Xinran had become a leader of the younger generation in the appraisal industry, and of course he was full of confidence.
A few days ago, I saw that my apprentice was busy with work, and of course I didn't dare to mention the omission, but now I see that she is idle and brings out this topic.
Thinking that the ability is not what it used to be, seeing the master's trusting gaze, he readily agreed.
"Master, let's go together, you can remind me at any time." It's a bit of a kid's rogue tone.
"Okay!" Ai Lao saw his apprentice's cuteness, and he was amused. The big boss with more than one billion assets, even if he misses and looks at the eyes, is it so cautious?
"So we'll go now?" happily asked tentatively, for fear that Ai Lao would change his mind. What a good chance, this is much better than picking up leaks in his hands.
"Let's go now, the stinky boy is willing to go with him!" Ai Lao Zhilu said that Murong Ji had been standing aside and listening for a long time, looking at his eager expression. Knowing the position of this kid in the hearts of his apprentices. Considering that today is Sunday, it is better to add a free security guard.
"Great!" Murong Jizheng didn't know how to express himself in order for Ai Lao to take him. I didn't expect it to come with no effort.
The so-called ignorant are fearless, and Murong Ji doesn't care about any real or fake. I don't have to go there alone.
As long as he likes antiques, he wants to keep them, and the more he buys them, the more fake they become, and they throw them in the warehouse. There is only one pen holder that I particularly like, so Ai Lao took a look, but it turned out to be a fake, and I was really reluctant to throw it to my wife.
Today, the two followed Ai Lao to Panjiayuan.
Xinran Since meeting the four great appraisal masters of Huaxia, she has not come to the antique stall to pick up leaks. For fear of meeting them, or meeting their protégés. It's always bad to grab food from other people's mouths, and she will be the one who will cause disputes and lose face in the future.
More than half a year has passed, and when I re-enter here, my mood is very different.
It's really hard work and sweat, how dare you walk here without half a year of hard study and evolution without special abilities. Today I finally raised my eyebrows, I don't have to follow the master to pick up the leaks, and I must have a special sense of accomplishment when I found the treasure here with my 'real skills'. There are masters behind him. Then be bold and choose.
Ai Lao is willing to be a foil today and walks behind Xinran.
Murong Ji is an out-and-out loyal lackey, absolutely putting his wife's instructions in the first place and following closely behind.
Gladly walked to a stall. The stall owner is an old man in his fifties who looks more honest. Although there are not many goods on his stall, his appearance feels a little ancient. She stood in front of the stall and picked. Murong Ji and Ai Lao waited by her side silently.
There is a hollow carved jade plaque in front of him, giving people a feeling of shoddy work. This jade is greatly discounted.
It looks like it's a mediocre color, and it looks like it's been stained with paint if it's not stored properly.
Artificially dyed colors are generally cloudy. However, this piece of jade is clearly layered, giving people a feeling of splashing from the outside in, unlike the rigid color that is specially dyed artificially.
She didn't know what was contaminated with the road, but in the gap between the variegated colors, she noticed that two inconspicuous colors loomed.
Gladly looking at it with blue eyes, although it was not as obvious as the aura emanating from bone china, that faint sense of qi did exist.
I was afraid of visual errors, so I continued to look at other antiques in this stall, and I didn't feel this way at all.
Xinran's heart moved, if you add the revealed earthy yellow, it is three colors. The more colors in the ancient jade, the higher the value of the jade, and now that the fake ancient jade is flooding the market, it is very good to be able to find such ancient jade.
As for the paint impurities on it, the master will definitely find a good way to deal with it.
The boss saw the little woman in front of him looking at a jade plate for a long time, and he secretly made up his mind that he must not get rid of it easily.
After reading the jade, he picked up a small porcelain vase on the stall and looked at it for a while. There are a few words on the bottom of the porcelain vase, which looks exquisite and abnormal, and it seems to be very real, but it is shoddy and lacks a sense of historical vicissitudes.
The boss's eyes lit up, if the little woman in front of him bought both things, then today could be regarded as a good start. He began to flicker.
"Girl, you see that this porcelain is definitely porcelain from the Kangxi period, and this shape and pattern are the unique signs of the entwined branch flower at that time, and it is definitely genuine; There is also this piece of ancient jade, pure ancient jade of the Han Dynasty, this color looks authentic......" was still boasting, and happily interrupted his words.
"Boss, can you be reliable? You see the surface of this porcelain is rough, and it is obviously an imitation; There is also this jade, which has been carved into garbage, I don't know how many years it has been placed where it has been placed, and I can't even see the appearance clearly, but it is really good...... How much do these two things cost? Ai Lao pulled the corner of his clothes behind Xinran, she understood what the old man meant, and glanced at the master.
The stall owner was gladly speechless, and seeing that the little woman was dressed like a poor person, he still offered a high price.
"Both of them are discounted, you give 20,000!" The wrinkled old face has a painful feeling.
"Twenty thousand, it's really dark enough, one thousand is good!" Xinran had already looked at the consciousness in his mind with his ability, and knew the bottom line of the item, seeing that there was no one around, and pretending to put the thing down.
"Okay, according to what you said, one thousand a piece, it can't be cheap anymore!" The stall owner was secretly shocked in his heart, how did the little woman who was thinking about it just now know that one thousand is his bottom line.
"Then I can only buy one, I don't have that much money with me!" Now that the price has been negotiated, there is no need to buy a porcelain vase for cover, and she decisively chooses the items she needs.
The stall owner originally came to see her buy two pieces, but now she had to nod and agree, and the jade plate was sold.
They left the stall and happily asked Ai Lao: "Master, do you think the things I chose are real?" ”
"Girl, I thought you were going to buy that broken porcelain vase back?"
"Master, will I be so stupid as your apprentice? But I'm really not sure, I have seven or eight points before I dare to start. Xinran said this modestly, and his heart was simply happy. It turns out that the evolved ability is so cool to pick up leaks, and in the future, you can also pick up leaks without the protector of the master.
"We can have seven or eight points of certainty when we pick up leaks, and with experience, we can make bold moves. Even I don't have ten layers of certainty, and I have to rely on some luck ....... ”
"Oh, I see!" Xinran understood that the master also had gambling elements in picking up leaks, and she was more confident.
Next time I have the opportunity to pick up the leaks alone, I will choose boldly, we have nothing else, and we can afford a small amount of money.
A few people continued to walk forward, happily looking at the goods on the street stalls as they went.
Suddenly she had a strange feeling, she looked at the stall, there was a strange wrench in the corner of the stall, there was a sense of qi transmitted to her eyes, and she immediately paid attention to this wrench.
This wrench is gray-white, like a low-grade jade carving, as if it fell to the ground and stained with a layer of ash, I can't see how precious it is.
Xinran picked it up and took a closer look, and found that the sense of qi was stronger than the jade card just now.
"Boss, I want to buy this wrench and play with it."
The boss is in his thirties and looks very dark-skinned, and it is estimated that he has set up a stall here all year round. Hearing that the little woman was going to buy something from him, she immediately cracked her mouth, showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and said enthusiastically.
"Okay, I haven't opened the pot today, so you can give five thousand!"
dizzy, a wrench finger that doesn't know the material of the road costs 5,000.
Xinran hadn't spoken yet, and Murong Ji said dissatisfiedly in the back.
"Boss, why don't you rob the bank, it's too dark."
Xinran said unhappily.
"Boss, no wonder you don't open your beard, you scared people away at such a high price, and if you don't sell it for five hundred, forget it!" After speaking, he made a gesture to send the wrench back, but he held it tightly in his hand.
"Five hundred is absolutely not good, you can take it if you want one, it cost me eight hundred to collect me, you can't let me make a loss-making deal......" The boss didn't seem to feel their dissatisfaction, and deliberately shouted in a loud voice.
Hearing that there was a bargain here, people wandering along the road were curious to see what it was.
Xinran knew that the wrench was worthless, and was afraid that there would be many disputes, so he counted out ten large bills from his handbag and handed them over.
"Okay, let's go!" Looking at the little woman and the big black man who walked away, the shopkeeper's big white teeth bared even bigger.
The neighbor who set up the stall next door asked him.
"Little Lizi, how much did you make from this bubble?"
"Not much, only ten!" The big white fangs continued to bark
"You just did a business without capital?" The old man came and asked with interest.
"You are old and smart, this wrench is a 'ground mouse', don't give it away for nothing, I didn't expect SB to be fooled......" Big White Fang said triumphantly.
'Ground rats' is their jargon for grave robbers.
Besides, happily a few of them went away, Ai Lao said to her happily.
"Girl, your luck is great today, the one you bought first is indeed an ancient jade, although the carving is not good, the material and core color are good, it is estimated that it is a work in the late Qing Dynasty, and it can earn more than 200,000 yuan; The jade wrench you bought later belongs to a kind of Hetian jade, the material is average, but the carving is very good, it is a work of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, and it is worth about hundreds of thousands......"
"It's been a busy day for hundreds of thousands?" Xinran couldn't help but be greatly discouraged.
"Hundreds of thousands are still less, your girl's family business is big, and she can't look down on a little money, and the best antiques can be met but not sought......"
"Zhilu has said master!" She replied happily.
Today she feels the difference in the strength and weakness of the antique age, which makes her happier than money. (To be continued......)
