Chapter 120: The Counterfeit Dealer
After a brief explanation, I then left with the boy.
"Where is that antique market you were talking about?"
I settled the boy's wages and asked.
Since you're here, you can't go back empty-handed, I've heard that there are a lot of high-end goods in the antique market in the capital, and I came here today to take a look.
"It's not far, it's not far, you go out from this alley and turn left, and then walk two more alleys to get there."
The boy took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, and began to talk.
"You have a good cigarette, where did you get it?"
I took the cigarette from the boy, took a deep breath, and asked the boy.
"Hehe, well, I won't tell you about this."
The young man said mysteriously.
I rolled my eyes and didn't continue to ask, he wasn't a bad guy anyway, not to mention that he had helped me just now.
"Okay, thank you, I'll have a chance to treat you to dinner another day."
As I spoke, I walked forward, and the boy turned to leave, and he had to help others carry their things.
I followed what the boy said, and soon arrived at the antique street.
Sure enough, it is the capital, and there are many things in this antique street, and there are all kinds of strange antiques.
I even saw a statue of Tang Sancai in a certain paving.
I can't help but praise, this Tang Sancai workmanship is extremely exquisite, although not as good as the real Tang Sancai, but than our modern general imitation handicrafts quality is much stronger.
"Sir, this Tang Sancai was handed down by my grandfather, I see that you have an eye for him, do you want to coil it down?"
When the stall owner saw me looking at Tang Sancai intently, and when he saw that I was dressed like a foreigner, he hurriedly shouted.
The corners of my mouth smiled slightly, this Tang Sancai looked like it was all from the factory last week, and told me that it was passed down from his grandfather.
"Boss, you Tang Sancai, you can make a price."
When the stall owner heard this, he was immediately happy, and he thought to himself, he finally met a person who took the bait.
"A million, what do you think?"
The stall owner looked at me expectantly, trying to tell the joy and sorrow in my eyes.
"You're really pretty, but it's a bit low, and I don't really trust your grandfather."
I looked at the stall owner and smiled.
Hearing this, the stall owner's smile immediately froze on his face, and he said with an ugly face.
"Why do you talk like this, man? It's obviously too expensive, and I'm telling you, this thing was handed down from my grandfather. ”
Seeing the stall owner angry, I glanced at him faintly.
"If you're willing to sell it, we'll sell it now; If you don't want to sell it, don't pretend to me. ”
The stall owner looked at me with some unpleasantness on his face.
"The highest is two yuan, do you like to sell it?"
Hearing me say this, the stall owner was stunned.
"Okay, I'll suffer a loss today, you say two for two."
The stall owner said that this directly wrapped up that Tang Sancai and handed it to my hand.
Now it's my turn to be shocked, shouldn't it be two dollars?
"Let's say okay, this is a two-dollar thing, don't call me a fake here."
After the stall owner took the money, he told me.
I looked at his painful expression, smiled, and didn't answer him.
"Okay, I won't pay the bill, you can rest assured."
I waved at him, and then walked over to other places with Tang Sancai.
"I'll go, there are so many good things in this capital?"
When I passed by a stall, I couldn't take my feet off the plate of objects that were so dazzling.
"This is the blue and white porcelain fired by the official kiln during the Qianlong period, which is at least worth a thousand gold!"
"This Lantian jade of the East China Sea was used by Emperor Qianlong at the beginning, and this kind of thing is almost impossible to see now!"
"And this one...... This is porcelain produced in the official kiln of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties......"
"These are good babies......"
……
Although these things are not treasures, they can't hold up a lot of them.
"Hey, boy, what's your eye, just pick!"
The stall owner's eyes brightened up when he looked at me.
Although most of these things are fakes, there are also some good things that exist.
"How do you sell these things?"
I pointed to an incense burner next to me and asked the stall owner.
"Five hundred, no bargaining!"
The stall owner held out a finger and looked at me.
I shook my head, although this incense burner was a real thing, it was definitely not worth so much money.
"Four hundred!"
Seeing that I hesitated, the stall owner quickly lowered the price again.
"One hundred!"
I insisted.
"Deal!"
The stall owner said heartily.
But I naturally knew in my heart that this incense burner would definitely be able to double it when I got it back.
It's just a pity that this stall owner doesn't know the goods, so he sells him so cheaply.
But the stall owner seemed to have picked up a bargain, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop smiling.
After the deal was settled, as soon as he got up, a man with a thief's eyebrows walked over.
"Brother, I see that you have been in this antique market for a long time, why did you buy such two worthless things?"
The man looked at Tang Sancai and the incense burner in my hand, and his eyes were purring.
"You are?"
I frowned, this guy looked like a profiteer, and at first glance I knew that he was a cheater.
"Huh...... This friend, my name is Wang Tiezhu, I am an antique dealer nearby, I buy antiques on weekdays, this Tang Sancai saw that you were deceived by others, it was produced last week, I don't know how much it cost you? ”
When I heard Wang Tiezhu's words, the whole person laughed.
"To tell you the truth, I paid three thousand for this Tang Sancai."
I glanced at Wang Tiezhu and said lightly.
"What, three thousand, so expensive! Brother, are you stupid?! ”
"You only left the factory last week, or is it a new product, this thing is a fake at all, how many cents is this thing worth?"
Wang Tiezhu said to me with wide eyes, as if he couldn't understand that I would spend 3,000 yuan to buy a fake thing.
"No way, I look at it and it's real."
I pretended to be surprised and looked at Tang Sancai in my hand with a regretful face.
"Brother, it's not me talking about you, this Tang Sancai is a clear-eyed person who can see it."
Wang Tiezhu had a helpless expression on his face, and then grabbed my arm again.
"Brother, I have a baby here, do you want to take a look?"
Wang Tiezhu said and directly pulled me to a place where there were few people.
Then he pulled out a bronze object the size of a fist from his bosom.
"This was just collected a few days ago, and it was taken out of the tomb, brother, I see that I have a fate with you, you give me a thousand and we will make a deal."
This bronze is a palm-sized tripod, which looks very old.
"Oh, since it was dug up from an ancient tomb, then I really have to take a look."
I said to Wang Tiezhu, and then took the bronze tripod in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Huh? This tripod seems to be a bit special. ”
I found that this bronze tripod was completely different from ordinary tripods.
This bronze tripod is turquoise and carved with all kinds of strange ornaments.
"Brother, this is the bronze tripod I bought from the depths of the tomb, the pattern on this tripod is said to have been made by the national teacher of the Great Xia Dynasty himself, this is an antique!"
Wang Tiezhu said proudly.
"Really? Then I have to take a closer look, the ornament on this tripod is not simple. ”
I looked at the pattern on this tripod and couldn't help but admire.
"Brother is really well-informed, this is something that I have worked hard to come up with."
Hearing me praise this ding, Wang Tiezhu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he hurriedly said to me.
"Boss Wang, I can see it, you are obviously a fake."
I looked at Wang Tiezhu's hypocritical face, snorted coldly in my heart, and said with a look of regret.
That Wang Tiezhu was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then laughed again.
"Big brother, you must have lost your eyes, you bring the things, and I will point you out."
Wang Tiezhu said and took the thing in my hand, and out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that he had replaced the bronze thing.
This really surprised me that this guy actually had a real thing in his hands.
Wang Tiezhu took out the real thing, and then took out a small flashlight.
"Take a good look, this thing is definitely real."
He wiped his clothes twice, and then said to me, "I don't have anything fake here, brother, if you don't believe me, take a closer look?" ”
This Wang Tiezhu said and shook the bronze plaything at me twice, I looked at this Wang Tiezhu and sneered in my heart.
"Boss Wang, you are really amazing, it is the first time I have seen such a realistic imitation, my Tang Sancai is far worse than you, admire and admire."
I arched my hand at the king's iron pillar, with a look of admiration.
"Brother, you're wronging me, buddy, this thing is absolutely genuine, don't believe it!"
Wang Tiezhu shook the thing in his hand at me again as he spoke, and then handed it to me.
"You take a closer look at it, this texture, this color, this workmanship...... I use my personality to assure that it is absolutely true. ”
Listening to Wang Tiezhu's words, I secretly enjoyed myself in my heart.
"Brother, I'll tell you the truth, you've been deceived, your thing is also a fake, look here, how can there be a new crack in the things placed in the tomb? This look is all cold when it comes out of the oven, and the whole embryo body has a trace of cracks. ”
I pointed to a crack in the bronze and explained to Wang Tiezhu.
If I saw Wang Tiezhu's expression, I was a little excited.
This guy was really suspicious, took the bronze and took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
I thought of deceiving me by deceiving the world, but I didn't expect that the treasure he thought he had in his hand was also a fake.
"It's impossible, brother, I asked someone to take this thing out of the tomb, it's absolutely true."
