"Hey, I'm going to find a job. Xie Mingzhou couldn't stand Old Man Wang's verbosity, so he hurriedly walked out.

"This kid really doesn't look like a young man!" Old Man Wang smiled and shook his head.

"It's not like that, sometimes listening to him, he looks older than us, he is only in his twenties, and he doesn't have any passion and fighting spirit, which is like ...... me back then" Old man Liu was not far behind, and his mother-in-law chattered.

Speaking of which, these two old men are not ordinary people, they can be said to be well-informed, otherwise they would not have seen at a glance that Xie Mingzhou is not very human, but they never dreamed that the age of this "guy" was several times more than that of them combined.

Xie Mingzhou walked out of Huating Garden, wandered aimlessly, came to Luoyang for a long time, the surrounding places were already familiar, so he simply walked farther, he walked along Zhongzhou Road, through Zhongzhou Canal, this area is the old city, Yizhen's home was near here.

Although it was an old city, Xie Mingzhou looked around, but he couldn't see a trace of three hundred years ago, and he was a little stunned in his heart, so he walked around here.

Suddenly saw a street in front of the crowd, it seemed to be quite lively, looked up, but turned out to be the West Street Wenbo City antique market, today happened to be the weekend, there are a lot of people buying and selling things inside.

Antiques, has always been to lead the donkey to slaughter pigs, if you want to "pick up the leak", the probability will not be much higher than winning the five million lottery, but people in the bureau are often easy to consciously or unconsciously ignore a common sense, antiques, since ancient times, it has only been circulated among the princes and nobles, and today it is only in the upper class of society to flow, never fly to the homes of ordinary people.

Those vendors who set up stalls are all veterans who are proficient in this way, ten out of ten are all pits, basically there is no cheap for you to occupy, they just rely on this line of food, if there is something of unknown origin or authenticity in their hands, how can it be easily sold without asking for verification everywhere to make it clear?

It can be said that even if it is just a copper coin on their stall, they know it clearly, and they are placed there in a mess, and they just want to hang a "mallet" and kill pigs.

As for the means of fraud, it is endless, if you want to find treasures from their hands, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky, what smoked ancient paintings, soy sauce coloring, hydrogen peroxide old, that is the work of rural craftsmen, people are now scientifically manufactured in the laboratory.

It is rumored in the industry that the best craftsmen in Jingdezhen are now all kept by high-imitation operators, and only make about a dozen things every year, from which one or two of the best are selected, and the rest are all destroyed.

Xie Mingzhou came here, of course, not to pick up leaks, he was just curious, the antiques in his impression were all sold in that kind of luxurious shop, and most of the people who came in and out were princes and nobles, wealthy businessmen, and he had never seen "antiques" bought and sold like this.

Just walked a few steps, into the eye to see a hollow plum bottle, the shape is very exquisite, I can't help but stop to look a few more times, the stall owner is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a pair of glasses, looks polite.

"Little brother, this is a Song Dynasty plum vase, my family's heirloom, if you are interested, you can get started. When the stall owner saw Xie Mingzhou's appearance, he thought that he had come with a mallet, and hurriedly said attentively.

This plum bottle is indeed from the Song Dynasty, at the beginning of the emperor to give a banquet when the wine is all held, so in the Song Dynasty are called "the bottle", and later all dynasties and kilns have been fired, until the Ming Dynasty is called the plum bottle, but no matter what it is called, its role is only one - to hold wine.

Xie Mingzhou himself has a few plum bottles, but they are all used to hold wine, but he has never regarded them as antiques.

"Boss, aren't you afraid of leaking the wine in this 'plum bottle'?" Xie Mingzhou couldn't help but smile in his heart, and looked up and asked the stall owner.

“...... This is an ornamental plum bottle, not for sake. The stall owner choked up, in fact, he already knew in his heart that such a strange hollow "plum bottle", because the production is really exquisite, at first he also hit the eye, and then consulted a lot of people, only to know the reason, but it was not less laughed at by insiders.

"I thought it was a mallet, but I didn't expect to know this. The stall owner muttered to himself, and enthusiastically sold other things to Xie Mingzhou.

"Brother, it doesn't matter if you don't like this plum bottle, you look at these jade plates, they are all carved by famous artists, if you like it, I will give you a wholesale price, a hundred yuan a piece, it is considered to be a friend." ”

Xie Mingzhou looked in the direction of the stall owner's finger, and set up a wooden shelf next to it, which was full of all kinds of large and small jade plates, although the jade quality was not good, but it was not a fake, and one hundred yuan was only equivalent to one or two hundred yuan of the original, and the price was fair.

However, he was not ready to buy this thing, so he waved his hand to the stall owner, and the stall owner hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be in a hurry to leave, the price can be negotiated again." ”

Xie Mingzhou ignored him, raised his legs and turned around and was about to leave, at this time, he suddenly saw two young men in strange clothes behind the stall owner, squeezing to the side of the wooden frame to pretend to look at the plum bottle, but another flat-headed young man took advantage of the two people blocking the stall owner, took the wooden frame and turned around and wanted to run.

"Brother, look at it again, the price is easy to say. And the stall owner was still greeting Xie Mingzhou.

Xie Mingzhou stopped and snorted behind him at the stall owner, the stall owner turned his head to look, and saw the flat-headed young man carrying his wooden frame to run, this shelf jade plate has more than 100 yuan, even if it is nearly 10,000 yuan according to the purchase price, if it is stolen, don't do it for a few months in vain?

He was in a hurry, and he grabbed the flat-headed young man in two steps and shouted, "Catch the thief, catch the thief." As soon as he shouted twice, the two young men who were originally behind him had already pounced, punching and kicking him.

The stall owners and people who came and went on the left and right gathered around, but none of them stepped forward to help, just pointed around, and the three young men saw that they could not do anything, so they hurriedly threw away the wooden frame, and regardless of the stall owner who fell to the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, he was ready to slip away.

One of the two young men, with an earring in his left ear, pointed at Xie Mingzhou arrogantly before leaving: "Little mongrel, if you dare to do anything bad to Lao Tzu, you will die!"

Xie Mingzhou's heart was on fire, he opened his mouth and shouted, "What a gut!", and was about to step forward to teach the three thieves a lesson, but the stall owner turned over and got up from the ground and grabbed him and said, "Brother, forget it, we can't afford to provoke it, just endure it." There are more than a dozen thieves in this group, and they are all outlaws, and they can't bother with them. ”

With this blockade, the three thieves had already run away without a trace, and Xie Mingzhou had no choice but to give up.
