Chapter 421 Looting the Ghost City 3, Blue and White Plate
"If you think it's too much, you can have less, but at most fifty catties less, if it's less..."Seeing Liu Guangqi hesitate, Shopkeeper Liu took the initiative to drop fifty catties of grain, and Shopkeeper Liu didn't say anything later, but the meaning was obvious.
"No less, five hundred catties is five hundred catties." Seeing that the shopkeeper Liu was so simple, Liu Guangqi no longer hesitated and agreed.
500 catties of grain for such a large Jingtai blue sky bottle in the Qianlong period, this deal could not be more cost-effective, in exchange for an ordinary year, there is no thousand yuan to take this heavenly ball bottle, it is absolutely not necessary.
"Then when are we going to trade? Little Doctor Liu" Shopkeeper Liu looked at Liu Guangqi's empty hands and asked eagerly.
"You come with me." Not only is the shopkeeper Liu anxious, but Liu Guangqi is also anxious, if such a good thing is cut off by others, then he will lose a lot.
Soon the two came to a place not far from Liu Lan's house.
"Otherwise, you give me 100 catties first, and I'll get the remaining 400 catties tomorrow." Shopkeeper Liu suggested.
"No, I have a solution. Wait here while I bring you food. After Liu Guangqi gave a word of advice, he walked towards Liu Lan's small courtyard, opened the courtyard door and stayed in the courtyard for a while, Liu Guangqi pushed a bicycle full of food and returned to the place where he and Liu had made an appointment.
When he arrived at the place, he found that the place was empty, and Shopkeeper Liu, who was supposed to stay here and wait for him, didn't know where he went.
Just as Liu Guangqi was about to shout, a thin figure crawled out of the grass on the side.
"You check it" Sure enough, none of the characters who can stand in the glass factory are simple, and this vigilance is leveraged.
Liu Guangqi chuckled and parked the car in front of Shopkeeper Liu.
"Okay" Seeing the cloth bags full of on the 28 bars, Shopkeeper Liu seemed to see a life-saving straw, and stuffed the Tianqiu bottle into Liu Guangqi's arms and checked them one by one.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Guangqi also opened the bag and checked it, although he was very relieved about the character of the shopkeeper Liu, but the heart of harming people must not be there, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable.
Seeing the goods clearly in person is beneficial to both parties, unless there is a ghost in the heart, ordinary people will not care, and some sellers will even take the initiative to ask the customer to check the goods again when they leave the store, so as not to find the seller later.
Soon the two checked what they wanted, and after making sure that there was no problem, Liu Guangqi lent the car to each other.
This is 500 catties of grain, and without tools, Shopkeeper Liu can't get it back even if he is beaten with iron. Maybe I'll die of exhaustion before I even get home.
After sending the other party off for a while, Liu Guangqi quietly returned to Nanluoguxiang by the night.
"Who" changed shape, and Liu Guangqi came to the courtyard from outside the door, and even the kung fu of calling the door was left.
With a yawn, Liu Guangqi was about to find a random room to rest. As a result, a flashlight swept over, startling him
"It's me, why haven't you slept yet" Liu Guangqi looked at Liu Guangtian, who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and asked.
"Sleep, come out and go to the bathroom, why are you only coming back now." Ahh
"I went around the ghost market." Liu Guangqi walked to Bai Hui's east wing and pushed open the door.
"Ghost market? What are you doing in a ghost market? Liu Guangtian heard that Liu Guangqi had just returned from the ghost market, and he took back his feet and followed Liu Guangqi to the east wing.
"Of course, it's to get a treasure, now it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and millions of things in the future can now be obtained with just a few catties of food. If you don't make a move at this time, when will you wait? β
"Take me with me, I want to go too..."
"What are you going to do, go back to sleep. I have to have class tomorrow. In the blink of an eye, the time came to the next night.
When the moon rose in mid-air, Liu Guangqi came to the ghost market outside Andingmen again. There was also a guy Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangqi didn't want to take him, but he couldn't bear this guy's stubborn fighting.
"See more and talk less, don't hear it, follow me once there is a situation," After some advice, Liu Guangqi walked into the ghost market with the curious Liu Guangtian.
As soon as the brothers walked into the ghost market alley, they immediately attracted a lot of attention, and there was no way for the brothers to carry food on their backs.
The bulging blanket was filled with grain at first glance.
"It's him, he's really here." Seeing the food on the brothers, the scene played out again last night, and those who ran to the ghost market to buy food immediately ran to the brothers.
Some people with good eyes immediately recognized Liu Guangqi as the person who exchanged grain for antiques last night.
"Young man, how do you sell this grain?"
"Sell it to me, young man, and I'll give me a pound of grain."
"I'll give a piece of one."
"I'll give you a piece of five" Before Liu Guangqi could speak, those who bought grain rushed to quote the price.
"My good man, five pieces of grain a pound, this is grain, this is golden beans" Hearing the crazy offers of these guys on the other side, Liu Guangtian, who was following Liu Guangqi, couldn't help but smash his tongue.
"You don't know if you're hungry here, you have a lot of fish and meat every day, let you only eat fifteen catties of grain a month, don't say that you will be hungry for half a month." Liu Guangqi gave Liu Guangtian a roll of his eyes.
"That can't be so expensive, I remember that the grain store has more than two cents."
"The grain store is a grain store, and the grain store only gives a dozen catties of grain a month, and also needs food stamps. We don't need food stamps for this food, so it's naturally a little more expensive. This truth was suddenly figured out by Liu Guangqi last night, no wonder Liu was so cheerful last night, indicating that Liu Guangqi only paid 500 catties of grain but he forgot that he didn't need food stamps for these 500 catties of grain, and now in the ghost market, the price of grain stamps is basically the same as grain, or even a little higher, after all, money is easy to earn, but food stamps are difficult to get.
It's the same with bicycles and tickets. If it is really calculated according to the price in the ghost market, Shopkeeper Liu actually did not suffer a loss at all, and Liu Guangqi, who lost money, thought that he had taken a big advantage.
"Guys, it's still the old rule, you don't need money, just things. Whoever brought the baby took the initiative to stand in front. Don't be angry if you don't bring the baby, I'll be here tomorrow night. Bring it tomorrow night. β
"I brought it, I brought it." As soon as Liu Guangqi's words fell, a middle-aged man walked over with a cloth bag.
"Be careful, put things on the ground and don't break them." Seeing that the other party was in a hurry, Liu Guangqi reminded the other party, judging from the shape of the cloth bag in the other party's arms, the other party should be holding a large plate.
Regardless of the age of such a large thing, it is a rarity, and even a modern imitation can cost several dollars
"Thank you for your kindness, I brought this thing last night, but it turned out that it was not my turn, you sold the grain to the old man."
"I'm sorry, I'm waiting in vain, what are you?" Liu Guangqi put the blanket on his body on the ground, then sat on it, and then asked, the posture was very similar to that of an expert in the treasure appreciation program of later generations.
"I'm a good thing, a blue and white plate in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty." The seller also cooperated to introduce his baby.
"My goodness, what a big plate. It must be a foot and a half. The seller untied the package as he spoke, and with his movements, a huge blue and white plate was displayed in front of everyone.
Looking at the blue and white plate with an astonishing size in front of him, the surrounding melon-eating crowd couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
"Isn't this stuff similar to the big plate we have for fish at home?" Liu Guangtian looked at the blue and white plate in front of him and said.
"Young man, if you don't know the goods, then don't talk nonsense, I am a serious Yongle blue and white plate, and it is inherited in an orderly manner, do you know the blue shopkeeper of Tianhexuan in Liulichang, I spent a lot of money to let people palm their eyes. This thing is the Yongle blue and white that people admit personally, don't take those miscellaneous things to chill my baby" Hearing Liu Guangtian say that his things were similar to his home decoration fish to the plate, the polite seller just now said a little angrily.
"That's pretty much. The size and pattern are all about the same."
"Hey, you also say, young man, if that's the case, then I won't sell it to you, and even if I sell it, I have to sell it to someone who knows the goods." Seeing that Liu Guangtian also said, the seller's face turned red, and he packed up his things and prepared to leave.
"Eh, don't worry, it's right that this thing is Yongle year, and what my brother said is right, you are Yongle blue and white plate, and my family is Xuande blue and white plate. Can it not be like this grandfather and grandson's things? Not to mention that there has been a year between the grandfather and grandson" Seeing the other party's excited appearance, Liu Guangqi hurriedly stopped the other party.
Just kidding, the baby is delivered in front of you and you can let it run.
"What you said is true?" Hearing Liu Guangqi say this, the seller stopped and asked suspiciously.
"It really can't be true, I heard you just say that you know the blue shopkeeper of Tianhexuan, coincidentally, I also know the blue shopkeeper, my blue and white plate is the leak that he picked up at his door, and it also made the blue shopkeeper look at it. If you don't believe me, just ask. You just asked the shopkeeper Lan if there was a person surnamed Liu who missed a blue and white plate from the Xuande period at the door of his store. β
"Cheng, I'll ask tomorrow." Perhaps it was Liu Guangqi's explanation that gave the other party a step, and the other party squatted in front of Liu Guangqi again.
After stabilizing the other party, Liu Guangqi picked up the Yongle blue and white plate in the other party's mouth and observed it carefully.
"This comrade, how many catties of grain are you going to exchange for this big plate?" After some careful observation, Liu Guangqi quickly confirmed the era of the big market in front of him, Liu Guangqi held back the excitement in his heart and asked quietly.
"I sold this plate for 2,000 yuan back then, but now the market is not good, so it will be calculated as 1,000 yuan, and you can give me all this grain and give me 800 yuan."
"Hahaha" Hearing the other party's words, Liu Guangqi couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at" Seeing Liu Guangqi's sneer, the other party's face immediately became gloomy.
"It's nothing, I just laughed at you for being naΓ―ve, you just said that you sold this thing when you were in the Republic of China, so I asked you when we are now." Liu Guangqi said with a smile.
"New China. What's wrong. β
"It's good that you know New China, and you must also know the market of antique shops now, which can be said to be withering. Thousands of things that used to be worth hundreds of dollars may now be worth a few hundred dollars, but if you don't believe me, you can take your plate and ask the antiquities store to see if they can give you a thousand dollars. At this time and at that time, the antique thing has fallen and risen. At this point, do you think it's possible to sell at the price you used to sell? β
"How much are you going to give?" Hearing Liu Guangqi's words, the other party's face suddenly became ugly, and after struggling inwardly for a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked.
"Well, I'm not taking advantage of you either. One hundred and fifty pounds of grain, plus ten pounds of bacon. What do you think. β
"No, I just want to exchange my Yongle blue and white plate with such a small thing, you dream, don't even think about it." Hearing Liu Guangqi's offer, the seller stood up suddenly, pointed at Liu Guangqi's nose and said angrily.
"It's a lot, don't forget that I don't need food stamps and meat stamps for these things, and the cultural relics store where you are now on this big plate will give you four hundred yuan at most. If you really count it according to the rules of the ghost market, the value of my grain is actually about the same as your plate. Liu Guangqi waved his finger to the other party.
"Don't say it, I won't change it. I've never seen anyone as black-hearted as you. The seller snorted coldly and walked out of the crowd with the blue and white plate.
"Comrade, look at this." Whoever has food in the current ghost market is the master, and after the owner of the blue and white plate left, the people in the queue behind immediately made up for it.
"Brother, will you press the price too hard? If someone buys something for 2,000 oceans, you will give an estimate of 400 yuan, or exchange it for grain. Liu Guangtian whispered in Liu Guangqi's ear.
"What do you know, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, antiques are inherently high and low, if someone likes the same thing, maybe it can be sold for a sky-high price, if no one likes it, then it is worthless. Do you think I'm ruthless in lowering the price, I'll tell you that I'm polite, if this was placed in 48 years when the army besieged the city, that plate would be worth two bacon. I'm already polite in comparison. Liu Guangqi gave Liu Guangtian an example, when the People's Liberation Army liberated Beiping, in order to keep the ancient capital of Beiping, it did not choose to attack like Tianjin, but chose to besiege.
After more than a month of siege, the grain in Beiping City was consumed, and in order to exchange for some food, the glass factory was full of low-priced and cheap treasures.
It has also happened that two pieces of bacon are exchanged for a treasure worth thousands. After explaining, Liu Guangqi turned his attention to the team in front of him
"I'm sorry, comrade, you're old, yes, but it's too short."
"Look at it again, I can't open the pot at home."
"I'm sorry, comrade, but you'd better go and ask someone else, maybe you will meet someone who likes your stuff. Next. "Ci is not in charge of the army, and he is not collecting money, although the other party said that it is very miserable, but there are too many people in the same situation as him, if Liu Guangqi is pitiful to everyone, then sooner or later he will have to go bankrupt.
"Next."
"Uncle, you are making fun of me, you dare to bring this thing."
"What's the matter, I'm a bronze from Shang Zhou."
"You're not from Shang Zhou, you're from last week, you smell this yourself, it's full of commotion, you better take it quickly."
"Next."
"This thing is not bad, what do you think of fifty catties of grain." Staring at it for a long time, Liu Guangqi finally realized the feeling of the treasure experts in the future, one by one, the mouth is really hard, it is good to say that it is shallow when it is not right, if it is not right, but if Liu Guangqi says a bad word, then the other party will blow up, if it is not for Liu Guangtian standing on the side, Liu Guangqi estimates that the other party is ready to rush up and beat him.
Fortunately, in the end, it was not for nothing, and in the end, Liu Guangqi still exchanged fifty catties of grain for a pair of wrong gold, silver, wire and bronze ware from Xuande in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
Although the price of this thing in the future is not very high, but Liu Guangqi can't bear to like it, the body of the vessel is covered with gluttonous patterns carved out of the carving knife, and the lines are embedded with gold and silver wires, each line is extremely delicate and full of charm.
"You can add some more to me." Seeing that he was about to go to the ghost market to scatter for a while, just when Liu Guangqi was a little anxious, the person he had been waiting for for a long time sat in front of him again.
