Chapter 24: You dare to say you're not an expert
Le Xiao's classmate entered Beijing for the first time in his life, and there was no familiar person except Brother Chao on the acre and three points of land in Sijiu City, and Brother Li also met later, Liu Shuai Brother and Eunuch, can only be regarded as having a few sides, therefore, when she ran to the gate of Panjiayuan and saw someone coming from the side, she naturally didn't care much, when it was a passerby, when the old man cut over to block the road, an idea flashed in her mind: touch porcelain?!
Classmate Le's reaction was top-notch, and he jumped back with lightning speed and jumped behind Liu Shao, letting Liu Shuai Guy be a shield, anyway, Liu Shuai and the eunuch are local people, who wants to touch porcelain, they have connections, and they can naturally turn evil into good fortune.
When I hid behind the tall and straight young uncle, I heard the old man talk to her by name and ask her about the inkstone that she had come, and she was immediately embarrassed, uh, did she misunderstand?
Yan Xing and Liu Xiangyang also saw the old man in Tang costume, the two of them did not change their faces, who knew that the little girl jumped away as soon as she jumped, and hid behind Liu Shao, the two young people were full of weirdness, how did the bear child hide?
"Hello old man." Liang Junshao didn't study the reason why the little girl was hiding, and greeted the old man with a smile.
Who is Mr. Teng? The old man's surname Teng Mingteng Xiangqiang, an old player in the collection industry in Sijiu City, more than 70 years old, is still old and strong, and often looks for things in various antique and thrift markets.
"My old man is old, don't dangle in front of my eyes with a pretty face, especially the little brother of the Yan family, you dodge a little, if it makes me dizzy, so that I can't find good things for a while, I will be in a hurry with Lao Yan tomorrow."
Old man Teng didn't give the two young men a good look, and he raised his crutches in disgust to make a gesture to the left and right, asking the two young men to let go, don't stop him from finding the right master.
The two young hot faces were attached to the cold buttocks, pursed their lips faintly, and gave way slightly.
An acquaintance of the eunuch Liu handsome guy?
Le Yun, who hid himself in a safe place, got out from behind the handsome guy, and looked at the old man curiously, the old man was quite tall, his waist was also straight, his height was only three or four centimeters shorter than that of Liu Handsome Guy, he was wearing a cyan Tang suit, his sideburns were half white, he was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and his eyes were bright behind the eye pieces.
The old man has a cane, a slanted cloth bag on his left shoulder, Tang suit trousers, and leather shoes, which have ancient charm and modern style, and mix and match ancient and modern, which is particularly cute.
"What is the little girl looking at?" Old man Teng met his gaze and asked with a tiger face, he wanted to talk to someone, that little boy actually ran away from the Liu family's little descendant to hide behind him, when he was a bad person?
"A good cane." Le Yun didn't look at the old man's face, stared at the old man's cane.
"Ouch, what a knowledgeable person?" The old man's eyes were bright and bright.
"No, I don't know how to understand the ancients," Le Yun grabbed her hair and smiled shyly: "I don't know how to be an expert, but I know medicine, your old cane is made of neem tree, and the flowers, fruits, and root bark of neem trees can be used in medicine." ”
"......" Yan Xing and Liu Xiangyang looked at the air silently, but they held back a smile in their hearts, the old man Teng talked about ancient understanding, and the little girl talked about medicinal materials, this is probably the so-called bull's head is not the horse's mouth, the bear child is the bear child, and even the answer is so unexpected.
Old Man Teng was slightly stunned at first, but then couldn't help laughing, and the corners of his mouth curved a touch of arc: "You have it, no matter what, little girl, can I even the inkstone you bought at the stall before?" ”
"No, the goods are already in the pocket, and they will not be taken out." Homogeneous of her results? No, no, no.
"You little girl, still take Joe?" Old man Teng wanted to knock on Xiao Bu with a cane, to be honest, if the inkstone was on the two young students, he wanted to even those two people dare to say this, he would have knocked it directly.
"It's not Naqiao, it's really uneven, why do you always want to even, what's the source?"
"I look a bit like the dragon's tail inkstone in the inkstone, and I study it evenly. What are you doing with it? ”
"Research for medicinal purposes. I looked at it very pleasantly, and it was just right to take it back and use it as a grinding herb. ”
"......" Yan Xing and Liu Xiangyang want to turn into air again, and the antique and old goods are just to grind the medicine? Whose family is this bear child, come and screw it away, so as to save people from being angry.
Old Man Teng was amused: "Little girl, the inkstone is for grinding ink, wouldn't it be a waste for you to grind any medicine." ”
"Grinding ink is used, grinding medicine is also used, anyway, it's all used, just make the best use of it, where is it wasted? Besides, people can't always stick to the rules, sometimes they have to come up with some innovative ideas to add some fun to life. Old man, don't ask me when you're old, I'm uneven to you, no one comes evenly, the first time I visited the antique market, it's rare to see something that rejoices at a glance, and I want to keep it as a souvenir. ”
"Give me a look at the head office, right?" Old Man Teng sighed, so he had to retreat.
"Okay, get out of the way." It's okay to give people appreciation if they don't take out, especially if she is an old man, she is a good child who respects the old and loves the young, and she can't let the old man return with a full load, at least to meet his requirements for appreciation.
Old man Teng finally felt comfortable, and walked extremely fast, the four of them walked to the root of the outer wall of Pan Garden, and the little student Le Xiao sat down cross-legged without any figure, and the old and young men couldn't cry or laugh, so they had to sit cross-legged on the ground.
There are many unwritten rules in the antique world, for example, if you fancy a thing, someone takes it in your hand first, you can't go up to ask the price, let alone rush to compete with the offer, only when others put it down can you go up to play;
For another example, if you let someone else enjoy and watch something, you can't hand it over directly, but you should put it down first and let others take it again, so that if it is damaged, the responsibility is obvious.
The inkstone is smaller than the normal inkstone, irregularly shaped, a corner is missing a small piece, although it is like a long time of dust, the surface is sticky with some sticky, the appearance is not beautiful, and those clean corners are solid and moist, and the texture is exquisite.
The old man Teng picked up the inkstone, stroked it with his hand, and tapped it lightly to listen to the sound, the more he looked at the eyes, the brighter he became, and he couldn't put it down, and muttered distressedly: "Seventy percent of the time it may be the dragon tail inkstone, why was it preempted by your little girl." ”
In the end, he was still unwilling, and asked again: "Little girl, please treat me, I will give you the price of a finger." ”
Antique and thrift market price, for the free price is too eye-catching, there is a special jargon, generally divided by a hundred integer number, one hundred is a dollar, one thousand is ten yuan, ten thousand is a finger, if it is more than 10,000, then call a few, 10,000 is 1.5.
The jargon generally involves large amounts, and the small items on the stalls are only ten yuan for ten yuan, after all, there are ordinary people and foreign tourists who buy old goods, and not everyone understands those jargons.
Ten thousand?
Yan Xing looked at the inkstone in Teng Lao's hand, isn't it a broken inkstone with defects, worth 10,000 yuan?
Liu Xiangyang's eyes lit up green when he heard this, he almost wanted to agree on behalf of the little beauty, twenty yuan for a while, and in a blink of an eye, it rose to 10,000, hey, he made a lot of money!
"Uneven." Le Yun shook her head firmly: "It's hard to buy I like it, I feel very suitable for the first time I see it, whether it's worthless or worth 10,000 gold, I don't sell it, keep it as a souvenir." ”
"Didn't you scavenge for all sorts of things?"
"The others are others, everything is irreplaceable, if you always like the four treasures of the study, I will find the one that fits your eyes next time and then give it to you."
"Little girl, you really don't know how to be an expert? You don't know how to pick this inkstone? "Old man Teng's eyes are strange.
"I don't understand, I just feel that this inkstone is very kind, I like it very much, and I bought it just when it happened to be able to come in again."
"Okay, let's go in, you continue to shop, and when you see something like this, I feel kind and like it, and I will bring it back to me."
"No problem, but, ugly words ahead, in case you don't see what I like, or I look like it, it's actually not too valuable, you can't blame me."
"Do you think you like to buy it back, I don't even you if I don't fit my eyes, I want to balance you, whether it's a leak or an eye, it's all fate, I won't blame you."
"Uh-huh, the old man is refreshing, I like it, let's go around?"
"Let's go!"
The little girl put her things away, and the old man Teng took the lead in getting up, patting his ass and leaving, his feet were like the wind, and he walked so fast.
Yan Xing and Liu Xiangyang sighed silently, it was originally a threesome, but now it's good, it's become a four, the heart is congested, there is an old man Teng with them, they can't play happily.
The gate of Panjiayuan is magnificently repaired, and the interior is also broad and grand, with old-fashioned buildings and expanded modern greenhouses, divided into several districts, shops belong to shops, stalls have stalls, books belong to a district, jade and porcelain belong to a district.
Autumn is neither hot nor cold, and it is the best season of the year to travel and set up stalls, especially suitable for open-air stalls or ground stalls, so there are no vacancies in the stalls in the park, and the high canopies are full everywhere.
Shops are generally high-quality products, there are more genuine goods, and the price is also high, and the stalls are the most miscellaneous and complicated, and the prices are lower, which is also the most test of people's luck or eyes.
Le Xiao is not the kind of rich man with a lot of money, and he was not ready to go to see the exhibits or boutique area at all, so he went straight to the miscellaneous stalls in the greenhouse.
Old Man Teng and the two young men were disgusted by the little girl because of the local tyrant's foreign appearance, and they fell a few steps behind speechlessly, pretending that they were not in the same group as the little girl.
There are tourists, players, and people who come to see the excitement in the park, as well as foreign friends, men, women and children, all gathered together, and the huge market is crowded, and you come and go, prosperous and lively.
Foreign friends are white-skinned and dark-skinned, men and women, some wear long-sleeved sportswear, some wear shorts, some speak English, some speak French and various foreign languages, speak Chinese here, some people speak bird language there, with some porcelain, perfume and so on subtle taste, it is really "bird language and flowers".
In one sentence, the market is described as: mixed fish and dragons.
For the same antique market as the vegetable market, Le Xiao felt very fond of it, so it was the best, even if it was taken away, once it was in the flow of people, it was difficult to find someone.
There are so many stalls, she can only filter them in the way of investigation, stand in a corner, open the eye function, first roughly scan a small area, see where there is an aura or golden luster or a special halo, write down the general location, and then look for it.
The first time I scanned a large area, I swept a few places with a particularly bright color, slowly moved over, and admired the white light of the aura for a while, some wooden furniture, too big, and the aura halo was too faint.
the second time, it was some porcelain from the old goods, all of which were large pieces; The third place is some pots and pans, which are too inferior to look at, and the fourth place is too faint and pitifully light;
Fifth, sixth, seventh, either the light of the things you see is too weak, or the things are too big and shabby, and they are not worth shooting, so you just go all the way over.
The old man Teng watched while walking, and poured several small things into his hands, and the price of the things he bought was not too high, all between a few hundred and a thousand, and the most expensive was a pipe, which cost two thousand oceans.
Le kept walking, sometimes to this side of the stall to take a look, sometimes to the opposite side of the stall to see, after walking a long road to the stall, at a low price of 50 yuan to find three old ink ingots, start a corner comb;
The second stall, the third stall, the fourth stall, in a blink of an eye, after visiting a greenhouse, and then visiting the second row of greenhouses, when the second greenhouse, a total of several pieces of scattered old goods, a bowl, a small porcelain bottle, a cylinder, a copper mirror, and some gadgets that I don't know what to do.
After visiting the two greenhouses, due to the frequent use of eye-specific functions, Le Yun's eyes were dry and slightly tingling, so he didn't dare to use his eyes excessively, so he ran to a corner and sat waiting for the old man Teng and the two sticky spirits who were left behind.
Old man Teng saw the little girl slip to sit under a tree beautifying the field in the open field outside the greenhouse, he roughly admired a few stalls, slipped to find the little girl, and asked: "Little girl, have you found a match for your eyes?" ”
"Look at this, you can't get into it." Le Yun put a bag in his arms on the ground, and the four treasures of the study room were as many as cow hairs, and there were very few of them that fit the eyes.
Liu Shao and Yan Shao also sat down, they became Teng Lao's bodyguards, and they couldn't move freely, so they were sad.
I heard that I found a piece, the old man's eyes were bright, he hugged the bag excitedly, opened it carefully, there was an inkstone, a pen mountain with a pen, the inkstone was green, because it was not moisturized, the color was very dull; Pen Hill is dark red.
The old man held the inkstone and touched it, flipped it over and looked at it, looked very carefully, put it into action, and his expression of concentration was also very serious.
"Old man, let me tell you, whether it fits the eye or not, I won't go shopping anymore anyway, there are too many dazzling things, and my titanium alloy dog eyes are blind, so I decided to find a place to eat and rest." Looking at the old man's serious face, Le Yun's little heart jumped straight to the tom, in order to find that thing, she ran seven stalls for a long time, and it took a lot of effort to pull it out of the groceries, although the luster was not as good as the square inkstone before her, it was also a little aura, not to mention a rare treasure, it should also be an old ancient understanding.
"Little girl, this is in line with my eyes, and I said okay, no matter what, you have to give it to me, and you can't go back. Let's go, I'll take you to find someone to identify, even if it's not a high-quality product, I'll pay ten times the price for it. Attention was pulled back, and Old Man Teng tore his eyes off the inkstone, and his tone couldn't suppress joy.
Identification?
Le Yun's happy eyes sparkled, she had never seen the treasure appreciation process, and it was great to be able to watch it with her own eyes.
Yan Xing and Liu Xiangyang glanced at each other, a little jealous of the little girl, Teng Lao was obsessed with the four treasures of the study, especially the infatuated inkstone, he said that it must be very good to like it, the bear child can find the collection that Teng Lao likes, which is equivalent to forming a good fate, and the bear child is too lucky.
Old Man Teng was afraid that others would rob him of his inkstone, so he put it in his arms and took the three of them to find an appraiser excitedly.
Pan Yuan has a professional treasure connoisseur, and it is also free for players and sellers who trade in the market, and can also issue authoritative certificates.
The appraisal studio is on the second floor of an antique jade building, and Mr. Teng led his servants to the hall upstairs, and the car drove through a corridor to the office with the sign of the appraisal center.
The appraisal center is quite wide, the ordinary studio is isolated by a glass wall, and the other half is used as a reception room to entertain the guests who come to do the appraisal, and the studio that needs to be identified by special techniques is an independent room.
The staff of the studio are all wearing blue protective suits, some are doing appraisal work, some are resting, and a few guests are sending things to appraisal, waiting for the results, even if they are waiting, they will not be ignored, there is tea to entertain, and there are newspapers or books to read.
As soon as Mr. Teng entered the appraisal center, a young man laughed: "Old man, have you found good things again today?" We'll have to see it for a long time. ”
"Hehehehe, I want you to be lucky," Old Man Teng smiled with a spring breeze on his face, and shouted at an old man sitting at the other end of the hall: "Old Dou, help me take a look at my newly acquired treasure." ”
The staff laughed wildly, Mr. Teng is a frequent visitor here, he will come at least once a month, and he has a deep friendship with Mr. Dou, the first treasure master of the appraisal center.
Dou Ren, who was sitting at the table next to the window drinking tea, put down the teacup helplessly, could he hear what the old guy was shouting?
He didn't speak, waited, waited for the old man to rush over, he looked at the three behind him, and he had seen the two young men a few times, only the little one was the first time he saw it, the kid ......
When the people approached, Dou Ren smiled and beckoned: "Little girl, come and let me take a look, whose daughter are you, a relative of the Yan family or the Liu family?" ”
What?
Le Yun entered the appraisal center and quickly glanced at the environment, and then followed without squinting, and as soon as she walked to the table and stood still, she was pulled out, and she didn't feel confused, is she here for the first time, why does she feel like she is showing her face again?
Quickly raised his head, there was an old man sitting next to the table, his hair was all white, his eyes were full of wisdom, he immediately ignored the thirty-seventy-one, and grinned first: "Hello old man, I don't know these two handsome guys, and I'm just on the same road." ”
The little girl was excavated by the old man Dou, and the old man Teng is not surprised, the little girl looks too smart, and the old Dou dreams of wanting a granddaughter's urine, and it is strange to see that she doesn't like it.
Two young people: "......" This is a world of looking at faces, their faces are very handsome and are ignored, and they can only blame the bear children for being too attractive.
"You don't know them well? That's right, I'm really afraid that you are related to them, and it is easy to be taken badly, come, little girl, sit. ”
Yan Xing and Liu Xiangyang, who were innocently lying on the gun, received 10,000 crit points again, who did they offend? Didn't they do anything, how did they get put on the list of bad guys?
The two brothers were extremely resentful, sitting next to Teng Lao, silently as invisible people.
Le Yun sat down in the designated position, her nerves tensed slightly, even if she didn't look back, she felt the gaze of everyone, and it was definitely uncomfortable to be looked at as a monkey.
As soon as the person sat down, the waiter brought tea.
Teng Lao didn't drink tea, put the bag on the table like a treasure, carefully took out the inkstone, and put it closer to the old man Dou's hand: "Old Dou, you hurry up and go to work, help me identify this before you come to drink tea and chat." ”
Dou Ren didn't want to pay attention to the goods, but when he saw the inkstone, his expression was serious for a second, he reached out and picked it up, stroked it gently, and then looked at the pattern, knocked on it, and touched it carefully.
"The texture is delicate, although it is dull, it can still be seen that the color is uniform, like a pine inkstone. You sit down first, and I'll go to the studio. ”
When encountering something researching, Dou Ren showed his work frenzy and went straight to the studio with an inkstone.
The master went to work, the four of them drank tea and waited, Le Xiao had a curiosity about new knowledge, after drinking tea, sat down slightly, and asked the staff if they could stand outside the glass to watch the work of the appraisers, and got permission, and happily stood outside the glass window to admire.
The staff of the studio cleaned, brushed, and looked at the old antiques with a magnifying glass, etc., and worked in an orderly manner, and soon, the things of the waiting guests were identified one after another, there were genuine products, and there were imitations, most of them were rough step identification, and there was no clear identification of the age, etc., if you want to identify all aspects in detail, it will take a while, and you also need to pay another fee, after all, the identification work is very complex, and a lot of manpower and material resources need to be exhausted.
People left, and some people came again, more than half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and Le Xiao was also tired, slipped back to sit, and waited for half an hour, Dou Ren walked out of the studio with a happy face, holding a ball of things held with a red cloth.
"Really?" Before the other party sat down, Old Man Teng asked for the answer happily.
Dou Ren didn't answer immediately, sat down in the place where he usually sits, removed a few cups, put the things wrapped in red cloth in the center of the table, and uncovered the red cloth: "See for yourself." ”
The soft red flannel cloth was uncovered, revealing a piece of inkstone, tender green, pure and flawless, smooth inkstone, soft luster, warm as jade.
"Good inkstone!" Old man Teng jumped up excitedly, supported the table with one hand, and touched the inkstone with the other, as gentle as stroking a lover.
"Laokeng Songhua inkstone, originally coated with mixed wax or ash like something, the surface is dull, wash it and return to its true color, with the characteristics of inkstone making techniques and carving ornamentation, it should be a thing in the middle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it has been used by many people, the edge and the bottom surface and the most surface contact point with the inkstone box are polished round and smooth, this is the ancient inkstone, at least more than three hundred years of history."
Dou Ren's careful explanation will not be said about the links that are too detailed, because there is too much knowledge in the archaeological industry, and some aspects still need to accumulate enough experience and experience to analyze and determine.
Yan Xing and Liu Xiangyang: "......" bear child casually picks up a stone, and the goddess of luck is her family relative?
Liu Shao's eyes were so red that he couldn't stand it, and asked weakly: "Little beauty, how much did you spend to get it?" He remembered that the piece she bought before was twenty yuan, and this piece wouldn't be the price of cabbage again, right?
"Two hundred." Le Yun smiled brightly, and she cut the price for a long time, from eight hundred to two hundred.
Sure enough, it's cabbage prices again!
The two young people were extremely sad, didn't the bear child say that he didn't know how to do it, and he bought an ancient inkstone at the price of cabbage, which is also called not knowing how to do it?
"I want it too." Liu Xiangyang was so greedy that he wanted to grab it, if he gave it to him, he was guaranteed to sell it for tens of thousands.
"Don't any of you try to rob it, it's mine." The old man Teng, who was immersed in joy, heard the young man's words and covered the inkstone: "Little girl, what you said was given to me, you can't go back." ”
"You didn't buy it, it's the little girl's?" Dou Ren looked surprised.
"Mine mine, the little girl said it was for me." Old man Teng was afraid of being robbed, and his eyes were quick, so he grabbed the inkstone and cloth, sat down, and protected him in his arms like a monkey protecting his cubs.
"A gentleman's word, a quick whip, I said it to you, and you will never regret it." Le Yun supports her forehead, although she understands it in ancient times, but she is also creditworthy, how can she lose her words and gain weight because of her doubled value.
"Hey, that's a good boy." Old Man Teng's heart fell to the ground, and he smiled like a child.
"Lao Teng, don't bully the little girl, the price should be fair." Dou Ren looked at the person who had picked up the treasure and couldn't help but remind.
"How much do you estimate?"
"According to the market of Songhua inkstone, a piece of similar quality in the late Manchu Dynasty was auctioned to 30,000 yuan, and the reserve price of this piece was at least this number."
"I'll take your estimate. Little girl, do you think it's okay? ”
"No," Le Yun shook his head: "The old man bid 10,000 yuan before, and I will give you that price for this piece, if you don't use it for identification, I will give it to you if you get 10,000 yuan." ”
When the old man heard a word, he thought that the little girl wanted the lion to open his mouth, but he didn't know that he didn't want a high price, but instead reduced the price to one-third, which made him a little confused.
Yan Xing and Liu Xiangyang also looked at the little girl in surprise for a while, did the bear child decide whether he wanted to put a long line to catch a big fish, or was it purely because he was simply trustworthy?
"Haha, Lao Teng, you owe the little girl an adult favor."
"The little girl talks about credit, and I can't let you lose your trust, just 10,000, let's get married." Old Man Teng was pleasantly surprised, his face was full of red light, he carefully wrapped the baby, stuffed it into his backpack, and then took out a handful of neatly stacked banknotes and handed them to the little girl.
Le Yun took the money, didn't even count it, and stuffed it directly into the backpack.
After the treasure was ready, the old man danced with joy, drank tea, and when he was about to leave, he took out a bundle of tickets and gave it to Master Dou: "This is not a hard fee for you, this is the little girl who invited you all to drink tea." ”
"Okay, I'll take it on my behalf, rest in a few days, and all the staff will go to have tea together." Dou Ren smiled knowingly, accepted the tea money, Lao Teng said that it was invited by the little girl, this is to help the little girl expand her contacts, and the people in the appraisal center will accept her affection, and if she needs to appreciate the treasure in the future, not only here, even if it is in their family or friends, as long as it is sure that it is her, they will give preferential treatment.
The staff smiled and thanked them.
The four of them were sent out of the appraisal center, walked out of the building, and went to a place where there were few people, and the old man Teng grabbed the little girl: "You stinky girl, you dare to say that you are not an expert?" ”
