Chapter 24: The Bronze Dome
Bai Yan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she covered her mouth with her hands, for fear that she would shout excitedly.
She never thought that the small shop had not yet opened, and even if it was well decorated, Lu Feiming would miss such valuable utensils, which was equivalent to earning back a year's rent at once.
The two of them chatted about other things for a while, and then went to the old alley in the evening to have a meal together, which was a small celebration.
In the next few days, Lu Feiming still walked around, thinking about buying some valuable antiques as much as possible, after all, the renovation will be completed soon, and the day when the antique shop will open is not far away.
But don't run out of antiques in the store and you'll be ashamed. Besides, Shi Shuqing will definitely bring someone to support him at that time, and even if he is embarrassed, he can't even bring his master to embarrass people.
This afternoon, Lu Feiming went to the old temple market again, after all, there are many people in the stalls here, and the possibility of picking up leaks or exchanging good things is higher.
After walking around, I received two pieces of porcelain, a thing from a folk kiln in the late Qing Dynasty, which was not very valuable, but at least it could make up a number. The other is the black porcelain tea cup from the Yaozhou kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is in good condition, especially at the bottom of the bowl there are four words 'early entry into the Chinese book'.
Obviously, this was used for gifts or some official eunuchs at that time, but this kind of porcelain is not a fine product, so the value is limited, and the market price is only about 10,000 yuan.
But something is better than nothing, and it can be filled with a façade when it opens, and the purchase price is also very low, and the two pieces of porcelain only cost more than 1,000 yuan in total.
While he was spinning, Lu Feiming suddenly heard a rough voice behind him.
"Yo he, you're going around here again?"
Lu Feiming looked back and saw that it was none other than Liang Hu who helped him out of the siege before. The other party stared at the two pieces of porcelain wrapped in newspaper in his hand, and asked with a smile on his face.
"Well, it's okay to come around and walk around. Thank you so much for that day. As he spoke, Lu Feiming nodded towards Liang Hu and expressed his gratitude.
Liang Hu waved his hand and said:
"It's a big deal, it's not worth mentioning. Besides, my job is to manage the market, so if something happens, I must be the first to do it. By the way, seeing that you kid often comes and goes, do you know a lot about this business? ”
Lu Feiming replied with a shy smile: "I don't know very much, but I majored in cultural relics restoration in college." So understand a little bit. The market business here in your old temple is really good. Last time, I didn't have any spare time when I rented a store here. ”
"Oh, you're here to rent a storefront?" Liang Hu looked at Lu Feiming with some curiosity.
"Our market business is good, but it's not that there are no empty houses for rent. Are you talking about our marketing department? ”
"Yes, the staff told me there was no free. Later, my friends and I went to the antique street on Bluestone Street and rented a storefront. Lu Feiming replied truthfully.
Liang Hu's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood the reason. However, he did not explain to Lu Feiming.
"So you're going to trade antiques too?"
"Well, it'll be open in a few days. So isn't this coming to you to see if I can get some stuff and go back to fill up the façade? ”
"Hahaha... Good. Welcome to come often! Liang Hu laughed, but then as if he thought of something, he suddenly lowered his voice and said to Lu Feiming: "Friend, can you do me a little favor?" ”
"What's the busy?" Lu Feiming looked at Liang Hu with some vigilance.
Liang Hu smiled innocently and said: "Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything that violates the law, I just have something that someone else gave me, I want to ask you to help see if it's true and worthless." ”
Hearing Liang Hu's request, Lu Feiming agreed after a little hesitation. After all, it is not difficult for him to help with treasure appreciation, and he can also increase his knowledge.
In addition, it can be regarded as repaying Liang Hu's favor last time. Why not kill two birds with one stone?
followed Liang Hu around and around for a while, and came to a very ordinary house, which looked very shabby in appearance, and it was not that kind of old-fashioned building, it was actually a bungalow.
Nowadays, this kind of bungalow is rare in big cities, and it has basically been demolished due to urban renovation. The old temple's generation is still very prosperous, and there are bungalows near here, which can't help but make Lu Feiming feel a little strange.
Perhaps seeing Lu Feiming's doubts, Liang Hu explained with a smile that this is his family's old mansion, don't look at the age, it is also very dilapidated, but he has lived here since he was a child, so he did not agree when the government demolished it.
Well, it turned out to be a nail household.
It's no wonder that there are high-rise buildings all around, but this is the only small bungalow here. From this, Lu Feiming also saw the two character traits of Liang Hu.
One is more emotional, and the other is that he doesn't care about money. Such a person generally values affection and righteousness, and is a worthy person to associate with. It's just that Lu Feiming is not familiar with the other party, and he doesn't plan to have a deep friendship with the other party.
After entering, it is a small courtyard with a small area. Two houses come with a kitchen and bathroom that looks like they built themselves.
One of the two houses is a bedroom, and it is estimated that Liang Hu usually lives here. There's also a room like a living room and living room. Liang Hu let Lu Feiming in with a grin.
poured a glass of water to make Lu Feiming want to sit and drink water, and went to the bedroom to bring out a large cardboard box, which seemed to be not light.
Putting the carton on the table, Liang Hu pointed to Lu Feiming with his hand and said:
"Brother, the thing is inside, please help me take a look and see if the real thing is worth anything."
Lu Feiming put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and opened the cardboard box, only to see that there were a lot of old newspapers piled up inside, which were used to wrap utensils to avoid bumping.
After taking out these old newspapers, Lu Feiming's eyes straightened, and his breathing became heavy. Liang Hu on the side had been observing Lu Feiming's expression, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "How?" Is it true or false? ”
Lu Feiming didn't answer Liang Hu's question, his eyes looked straight at the bronze in the cardboard box, a round tripod with three legs and two ears, the size of the tripod mouth was about forty centimeters, and it was about fifty centimeters high.
The green patina on it is all over the place, but you can still see the ornaments on the tripod body clearly, the animal face gluttonous pattern is the main, and the edge of the tripod mouth is a fist cloud thunder pattern.
And in Lu Feiming's eyes, this round tripod exudes a dazzling white light. Lu Feiming, who was shaking, couldn't open his eyes a little. It can be seen that this is definitely a treasure.
It took a lot of effort to take out the round tripod and put it on the table, Lu Feiming carefully observed, and kept recalling the cultural relics he had learned in his mind.
Soon Lu Feiming had his own judgment, not surprisingly, this should be a bronze ritual vessel from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and the level of the owner is very high, at least at the princely level.
