Taking advantage of Old Tang's efforts to pack the gourd snuff bottle, Zhang Yang hurriedly looked at the other counters in the room.

Just now he deliberately pointed out where the two fakes were, just to see Boss Tang's reaction.

This is a trick taught to him by Master Wang, called "throwing stones and asking for directions".

A little show your hand, probe the reality of the other party, and by the way, also evaluate the level of this antique shop.

The results are not bad.

Zhang Yang quickly determined that Lao Tang did have some ability, at least his attainments in snuff bottles, and he could be regarded as half an expert.

More than half of the snuff bottles sold in the store are genuine.

The level is higher than the big antique shops outside.

This made Zhang Yang can't help but have a lot of expectations for other things in the store.

There are stalls in the antique market, and sometimes the blind cat bumps into a dead mouse, and there can be one or two genuine items.

Old Tang is obviously not a blind cat, he should be more than a snuff bottle.

It's good to have an ancestral treasure.

Zhang Yang checked each counter one by one, and the other two people in the room were talking about the gourd snuff bottle, and they didn't notice him at all.

On the far left, there is a pile of ceramic spittoons on the counter, which is filled with porcelain.

It's basically all fakes.

Fakes of porcelain have been rampant to a certain extent.

In particular, the fakes of the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties have been imitated since modern times, and they have not stopped for nearly a hundred years.

There are thousands of times more imitations than the real thing.

In addition to the fakes, there is also a bit of genuine blue and white porcelain from modern folk kilns on the counter on the left.

However, the patterns and shapes are very ordinary, and there are no authentic products, which are not enough to arouse the interest of publicity.

Sure enough, I wanted to pick up the official kiln porcelain in the big willow tree, but I still thought too much.

It's 2024 now, and I don't know how many experts and scholars have seen it here, and it's really hard to slip through the net.

Metal statues, not to mention, are even more problematic.

Zhang Yang even found several Tibetan Buddha statues, which obviously had problems with their shape and subject matter.

If this is seen by devout Buddhists, it is indispensable to pull Lao Tang to fight with him.

After looking at several cabinets of Buddha statues, Zhang Yang's heart was already a little cold.

But soon, something in the next window ignited his hope.

In a square transparent glass enclosure, there is a cylindrical object about fifteen centimeters long.

At first glance, it is not recognizable what it is at all.

But the real antique speaks, like the one Zhang Yang just discovered.

One look at the old antique.

The two ends are jade, and the middle part is metal, and the rust color should be copper.

The part of the jade body, which is embossed with dragon patterns and cloud patterns, should be unearthed cultural relics, so there is a very deep soil, and even faintly affects the structure of the jade;

The middle copper part has a distinct gap, as if it is divided into two sections from the middle;

Where jade and copper are combined, they are made into a jagged shape, which should be for easy fixing.

"Name: Jade Inlaid Bronze 輗 (ni 2 tones) 軏 (yue 4 tones) ornament"

"Material: Copper, Hetian Jade"

"Date of production: 992 B.C. (Western Zhou Dynasty)"

"Details: The chariot is a pin inserted into the junction of the wheel and the yoke of the ancient chariot horse. The traditional material is mostly bronze or gold and silver, and the combination of jade and copper is extremely rare.

If this material can be used as a component of the chariot and horse, the identity of the owner of the chariot must be very noble, and he should be the nobleman of the Zhou Dynasty."

"Source of the item: Western Zhou Dynasty tombs unearthed at the Fenghao site in 1998......

"Brother Yang, is there something wrong with this thing?"

Chu Ziqiang had just supervised Lao Tang to pack the snuff bottle, and when he turned around, he found Zhang Yang as if he had never seen the world, sticking to the counter, looking at the things in the glass window.

He tried to follow Zhang Yang's line of sight, but he didn't know which one Zhang Yang was looking at, so he could only ask out loud.

"Boss Zhang is really a good vision!" Old Tang hurried over and said.

In fact, he didn't know what Zhang Yang was looking at, but no matter what the situation, it was always right to brag about it first.

"Really? I think Boss Tang, you are really discerning. ”

Zhang Yang stood up, looked directly at the boss and smiled.

This piece of robe flowed from the hands of insiders of the archaeological team who excavated the site of Fengho.

The site of Fenghao is the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and its significance to the Zhou Dynasty is equivalent to that of the Yin Ruins to the Shang Dynasty.

In such a place, of course, there are many tombs.

So far, there are more than 1,000 Western Zhou tombs recorded and excavated by the archaeological team at the Fenghao site.

However, due to the very long timeline of the excavation and the large number of people involved in the excavation, it is inevitable that some small pieces of literature will be released.

Zhang Yang is used to it.

Seeing that the information about the origin of the items involved in this kind of thing involves the archaeological team, his emotions will not fluctuate much.

In the Northeast, first-class cultural relics like the Jade Pig Dragon could flow out, and for Zhang Yang, there was no precious treasure that he couldn't accept.

He even expects more national treasures to be circulated, and the more credit he will make.

Zhang Yang said that Lao Tang had vision, referring to the process of this cultural relic coming to this antique shop.

This piece of robe was actually bought by Old Tang at the Big Willow Ghost Market.

There is really a leak in the ghost market.

20,000 yuan bought more than 100,000 treasures, or from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Although this has been four or five years old, it still proves that Old Tang is a collector with both vision and luck.

"Boss Zhang, you're mistaken." After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Lao Tang explained with a smile, "I don't have a vision for these carriages and horses, most of them are ancestral heirlooms in my family. ”

"Didn't you tell you before? The elders in my family still had a little strength back then, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to buy such a big family business in Yanjing, where every inch of land is expensive. ”

"Oh, the ancestral one." Zhang Yang nodded, touched his chin, and said with a thoughtful expression, "So, Boss Tang, your ancestor was a tomb robber?" ”

"Why did Boss Zhang say that?"

"Because the Tuqin of this thing is a bit heavy, it can only be an unearthed cultural relic." Zhang Yang pointed to the curl in the cabinet and said.

Only then did the remaining two know what Zhang Yang had been talking about.

Hearing keywords such as "tomb robbers" and "Tuqin", Chu Ziqiang instantly became interested, and just like Zhang Yang just now, he came to the counter.

But before he could take a closer look, Old Tang opened the door and took out the things directly.

"This thing actually got into the eyes of Boss Zhang?"

"Of course, the jade-inlaid copper chariots and horses of the Western Zhou Dynasty were at least something that scholars could afford at that time, so of course I was interested."

"It's just ......," Zhang Yang looked embarrassed.

"Just what?"

"This thing, it's a little too old, even a layman, you can know it when you look at it, it's something that comes out of the soil."

"yes, yes." Xiao Chu nodded again and again, making it clear that he was the layman, "What has the jade on it corroded into, don't buy it, the cultural relics police will arrest the two of us again." ”

"Oh, that's what the two of you are worried about."

Old Tang had a sudden expression of realization on his face, and then smiled with a relaxed expression.

"Rest assured, there is a way to trade the unearthed things."

"As long as I can prove that it is an antique that circulates in an orderly manner, or that it is a cultural relic that has been returned from abroad, the cultural relics department will generally not take care of it."

"Oh?" Zhang Yang's eyebrows raised.

It's kind of interesting, originally he just asked casually, but he didn't expect there to be an unexpected gain.

How did an antique bought from a stall five years ago circulate in an orderly manner?

Could it be that the old man who set up the stall back then could help issue a certificate?

To be honest, Zhang Yang has a hanging, and he can see the origin of things, but even he can't prove to everyone that this thing is really circulating in an orderly manner.

There are too many people in the middle, and there is no way to trace it.

Chu Ziqiang also felt very rebellious, because listening to Lao Tang's tone, as long as the buyer paid for it, it seemed that he could open it with any proof.

Is this still worth it? It's completely slapping Xiao Chu's second uncle in the face.

Under the nose of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, there are people who take the Cultural Relics Protection Law seriously.

He immediately followed up with a flamboyant remark and asked: "Boss Tang, the proof you said is circulating in an orderly manner, how to operate?" ”

"Teach me for a fee?"

"I can't teach it, I'm sorry, it's a trade secret."

"All I can tell you is that I have a way."

"The Cultural Relics Bureau will also check both buyers and sellers, and it will not only target buyers, so I will not take my own life for my life, both of you can rest assured. You just need to tell me to buy it or not to buy it. ”

After Lao Tang refused Xiao Chu, he then pushed the carriage and horse pieces in his hand in front of Zhang Yang.

"Boss Zhang, can you get started?"

"No need, I'm already optimistic, just buy it." Zhang Yang replied.

"Yes, I bought it!" Chu Ziqiang echoed, he had instantly understood Zhang Yang's thoughts.

In fact, even if Zhang Yang doesn't say it, Xiao Chu has to buy it.

Old Tang's attitude just now made him very unhappy, even if Chu Ziqiang loses money, he must figure out the means behind the other party.

In the end, it was yellowed.

"Refreshing two!" Old Tang slapped him excitedly, and his face instantly turned rosy.

As for the reason why he is so excited, of course, it is because he is going to make a lot of money.

"This piece of carriage and horse, although it is an ancestral heirloom, but now it also has a market price, if you two really want it, 288,000, take it directly."

"It's a bit expensive, but it's true, a few years ago, a Frenchman came to my store......

"Expensive? Who said it was expensive? Zhang Yang interrupted Old Tang.

The foreigner in the mouth of the antique shop owner, just like "I have a friend", is a pure price-raising tool, and the story is the same, and Zhang Yang doesn't want to hear it at all.

Twenty-eighty-eight thousand, more than double the normal price, is indeed a bit expensive, but Zhang Yang is completely acceptable.

Because today's consumption will be paid by Chu Gongzi.

Zhang Yang still owes the Chu family debts, and he can't be reckless in front of the creditor if he has money, right?

And he was very happy to let Xiao Chu pay this money.

Thinking of being able to find the person behind Lao Tang's back, help him open fake documents, and uproot this industrial chain, Chu Ziqiang needs to hold back so that he won't laugh out loud.

"Yes, it's two hundred and eighty-eight, wrap it up." Xiao Chu agreed.

"Okay, thank you, two masters." Old Tang bowed very politely, a little overjoyed, very beautiful.

So soon, the little 300,000 will be in hand.

Family, you can really make money in the antique business!

"Don't forget the certificate." When Xiao Chu watched Old Tang pack, he reminded him.

The main purpose of buying this thing is for the certificate.

"I won't forget, I'll put it in the box later."

"Oh, that's okay......" Chu Ziqiang nodded ignorantly.

"That's not going to work!" Zhang Yang interrupted Xiao Chu and shook his head, "We have to confirm it to find out if you have taken any invalid certificates and put them in it to fill the number." ”

"What Boss Zhang said makes sense, so let's wait a while, I'll go get the certificate."

"Yes, yes, you two can drink tea first."

The proprietress also came back at this time, bringing a cup of tea to Zhang Yang and Xiao Chu, just helping her husband make a round.

Now that they are all on the doorstep, of course Zhang Yang and Xiao Chu can wait.

Ten minutes later, Old Tang was late.

Holding a document that had just been printed in color.

"That's the certificate."

"Hard work." Zhang Yang took it with both hands.

When he saw that the inscription on the certificate was the red seal of the "State Administration of Cultural Heritage", he almost laughed.

This is the rhythm of eating melons and eating the Chu family.

Zhang Yang remembers very well that this activity of registering folk collections was in charge of Chu Zhenmin's apprentice.

Look again at the title, "Collection Registration Certificate".

That's right.

Last year, the state issued a new "Detailed Rules for the Filing and Registration of Private Collections", and such certificates were indeed issued to collections that have been appraised and registered by the staff.

There are almost no such certificates on the market, so people who make up fake certificates will never think of forging such certificates.

This instantly made Zhang Yang feel that the chapter that was signed might be true.

Things suddenly got interesting.

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Yang's mouth, and he decisively handed the certificate to Chu Ziqiang.

There seems to be a ghost in our team.

Xiao Chu is very professional, and he also looked at the seal at a glance, and his brows instantly twisted into twist.

He tried to speak several times, and he seemed unable to organize the language.

"Okay, okay, let's put it back after reading it."

Zhang Yang dragged the certificate out of Xiao Chu's hand, handed it to Lao Tang, and asked him to put it in the box later.

"Boss, I'm going to give this thing to an old man as a gift, and it's a little bit like a gift."

"No problem, don't worry." The proprietress happily agreed.

"Yes, Brother Yang, you can choose gifts better than me." Chu Ziqiang smiled bitterly.

Of course he knew what Zhang Yang meant, this thing must have been given to Chu Zhenmin as a gift.

"Two of you, take a look again?" Old Don is not satisfied.

The two young people in front of him haven't even talked much about the price, and they will pay for 300,000 yuan, and if they are the owners of any antique shop, they will think about a wave of fat at this time.

If you pit a wave of ruthlessness, you will eat it directly for a year after opening.

"I can also issue certificates for these carriages and horses."

Zhang Yang and Xiao Chu looked in the direction of Old Tang's finger, and what he said was all fragments of bronze.

It's all genuine.

A bronze carriage from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, if it is unearthed, there may be more than a few hundred fragments, so these dozen fragments are really not much.

But a dozen certificates of the word......

Zhang Yang has already mourned for the inner ghost in his heart.

"Do you want more?" Chu Ziqiang asked Zhang Yang with some uncertainty.

"No, none of this is precious."

"Let's take a look at the jade first, the gift for your grandfather is ready, we have to prepare gifts for the rest of your family, right?"
