Chapter Eighty-Four: Counterfeit Porcelain
"I'll take you to a good place today, and missing it will be your loss." I whispered mysteriously in her ear with my head down.
"Not interested!"
"This time it's not to catch ghosts, you haven't walked around for so long after going down the mountain, today Senior Brother will take you to the antique market to have a look." When the little junior sister heard that she didn't catch ghosts, her eyes lit up.
Immediately, he deliberately asked with a straight face: "What kind of place is that antique market, is it fun?" ”
"Well......," I pretended to ponder, "whether I said that or not, you will have to go and find out for yourself." ”
The little junior sister bit her lip, and finally shook her little head: "Since that's the case, I'll reluctantly go with you once." ”
I smiled and walked towards the gate with my little sister.
Before, because of Miao Lian's incident, the little junior sister was angry, and I was talking to the little junior sister all the way.
Fortunately, the little sister doesn't hold grudges, her temper comes and goes quickly.
Walking around the antique market, blinking your eyes and feeling very new to the things around you.
Ancient people paid attention to feng shui, so there are many antiques that contain feng shui principles.
There are a lot of strange patterns on porcelain, and ordinary people may not understand what it is, and even think that those patterns are too ugly, so they are very disgusted, resulting in porcelain not being sold at all.
But when you meet someone who really knows how to see those strange patterns, you can see the true use of porcelain, and it is possible to sell it for 1.8 million yuan.
However, the antique market is mixed, and there are too many fakes mixed in with the real thing.
Many of them are artificially made fakes, bronzes are the easiest to fake, and the things in the antique store look very old, but in fact they have no historical value at all.
However, maybe any of the wronged people will buy it home, and there are really few people who really know how to look at the entire antique market, and people who have been deceived abound.
My little sister and I met a lot of vendors along the way, some selling handicrafts and some selling jade.
There are also many people who buy goods from here, whether it is true or not, and sell them directly, anyway, as long as they can make money, they will do it.
I took my little sister and walked through several streets, and finally arrived at my destination, the largest street in the antique market: Antique Street.
"Come and see, young man!" An old man in tattered clothes handed me a piece of porcelain covered in cobwebs.
When I looked closely, I saw that the porcelain looked very rough on the outside, as if it had been picked up from a discarded garbage dump, but if I looked closely, I would find that this thing was a bit special, because its material was similar to ordinary ceramics, but it was completely different from the construction of porcelain.
I took the porcelain and looked left and right for a long time, but I didn't see anything unusual about it, I just thought it was a very rough piece of pottery.
"Uncle, are you sure this is antique porcelain?" I asked, confused.
The old man said with great certainty, "Of course it is! ”
I flipped the porcelain in my hand, and then handed it to the little junior sister: "Senior sister, take a look." ”
Just now I have told my little sister about the strangeness of the black human bones, and the purpose of coming to the antique market this time is to find a magic weapon to purify the black bones.
I saw that she was playing with porcelain for a long time, her eyebrows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
Her movements were slight, but I still saw them.
I couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the porcelain.
Thinking of this, I immediately asked the little junior sister, "Senior sister, what kind of porcelain do you think this is?" ”
The little junior sister shook her head: "I don't know. ”
She had just come down the mountain, and it was normal for her not to understand these things.
It looks like an old object, but the porcelain looks so rough that it's hard to believe it's genuine.
"This porcelain, it may be a fake." I whispered to my little sister.
The little sister's hand holding the porcelain paused slightly, raised her head and looked at me in some surprise.
"Senior brother, how do you know this thing is a fake?"
Before I could say the reason, the uncle was instantly unhappy: "You young man won't buy it if you don't buy it, how can you come up and say that I am a fake!" ”
"Go, go!" Saying that, he took the porcelain from my little sister's hand, "If you don't buy it, hurry up, don't delay my time, this is a cultural relic unearthed from the ancient tomb, what do you know!" ”
"Tombs?" I exclaimed instantly.
The old man said very unceremoniously: "Not only an ancient tomb, but also a big tomb!" ”
"How are you selling this?" I asked, pointing to the porcelain in his hand.
"Don't you buy it?" The old man glanced me up and down, and then said with a look of disgust, "The price is 30,000 yuan, if you want to love it, don't delay others to buy it." ”
"Holy!" It's a money grab!
This thing looks so rough, how can it be sold for 30,000 yuan?
If this thing was really made from an ancient tomb, so valuable and not hidden, and placed here in public, it was obvious that someone was deliberately trying to trick people.
When I looked up at the porcelain again, I noticed that the pattern seemed to be a little different from the one I had just had.
Am I dazzled?
I rubbed my eyes, and the patterns on them were indeed constantly changing, as if they were a formation.
It seems that this porcelain is indeed unusual, but it is not clear what kind of formation it is.
There is no corpse gas on the porcelain, it should not be dug up from the ancient tomb, it is estimated that this old man wants to raise the price, and deliberately said so.
"Two hundred, if you sell it, I'll buy it."
The old man was anxious in an instant: "You kid deliberately came to smash the stall!" ”
"I bought it with heart, but your thing is not worth 30,000."
The old man pondered for a while, and stretched out a finger: "One thousand, no less!" ”
"I don't think it's easy for you, add another hundred, three hundred to you!"
"Eight hundred!"
I shook my head: "Three hundred! ”
"Five hundred!"
"Senior sister, let's go." With that, I took my little sister and prepared to leave.
Although there is a small formation on it, spending three hundred is already the top of the sky, and any more is a big wrong.
When the old man saw that I was really leaving, he hurriedly shouted: "Take three hundred!" ”
"Okay, deal!" I took out three red tickets and handed them to him, holding the porcelain in my hand and playing with it.
The little junior sister followed behind me with a puzzled expression: "Doesn't this thing cost 30,000?" Why did you sell it for 300? ”
I smiled: "Little junior sister, you don't understand this, this bargaining is also an art, you can learn it." ”
"Senior brother, just now you said that this is a fake, what's the use of you buying it?"
I pointed to the spider web-like pattern on it and told her: "This porcelain is worthless, it is indeed a fake, twenty yuan can buy a lot, but this pattern on this is very strange, it should be a formation!" ”
"What formation?" The little junior sister asked curiously, staring at the pattern on it carefully as she spoke.
"I'll talk about it when I get back."
So, I put away the porcelain vase and continued to wander around with my little sister, but suddenly there was a noisy sound in front of me.
