308 The drunkard doesn’t care about the wine
Chen Rui doesn't know much about Japanese antiques, but he can tell that these are Japanese antiques.
That's because these old objects have obvious traces of Japan.
For example, the paintings depict Japanese women wearing kimonos, and there are also some books with large Japanese characters on them.
To be honest, some of these things can be considered antiques.
Because he could see that these treasures were exuding jewels, but compared with the treasures he had seen before.
These jewels are very weak, indicating that the value of these treasures is not high.
So Chen Rui just glanced at it briefly and walked over.
He didn't show too much interest in these things.
Until he walked to a stall and suddenly stopped.
This stall also mainly sells Japanese cultural relics, and there are a lot of Japanese equipment from the Second World War in front of it.
For example, there are Japanese military uniforms, samurai swords, 38 caps, and even a few bastard boxes.
However, Chen Rui glanced at these things and knew that they were a mixed bag.
Many of them were new items, but what really attracted him were the items on the table behind the stall.
There are many beautiful boxes placed on the table.
The black lacquer and gold-chiselled craftsmanship can be seen as a relatively representative lacquerware of the Japanese country.
Speaking of lacquerware, this thing must have originated from our Dragon Kingdom.
Later, the little dwarf from the Japanese country stole the technique and learned it, and it was later promoted by them.
Even later, the lacquerware of Xiaozhi was still very popular internationally.
The black lacquered and gold-painted boxes on the table in front of me look very high-end.
It's filled with treasure, and I can tell it must be a good thing.
But the price is also quite beautiful, Chen Rui probably glanced at it a few times.
The price offered by the stall owner for these lacquerware is quite high. A small box costs tens of thousands of dollars.
A bigger one with good quality will cost NT$30,000.
It seems that the stall owner is also knowledgeable, and the stall owner of this stall is a mixed-race Asian.
Seeing Chen Rui appear at the stall, he smiled at Chen Rui.
However, because there were other customers around who were inquiring about prices, he did not come over to greet them immediately.
He just made a gesture to Chen Ruibi, telling him to take a look first.
Chen Rui pretended to come to the table, as if he was looking at the pieces of lacquerware.
But in fact, his attention was placed on a teapot in the corner.
Judging from the shape of the teapot, it should be a work of Long Guo.
But looking at the material, Chen Rui was a little confused. It was no ordinary porcelain pot.
Because porcelain kettles won't rust, but they shouldn't be copper kettles either.
Because when a copper kettle rusts, a layer of green rust will appear on the outside.
But this pot was miserable. It was pitch black outside, and there were even white hairs growing in some places.
The first impression it gives people is that it is dirty...
If it hadn't been for Yu, Chen Rui would have found it hard to believe that this thing could be an antique when he saw the red light flashing in the mountains of this pot.
He picked up the teapot and looked at it. First of all, the teapot was heavy.
Therefore, he judged that the pot should be made of metal, but he was not sure what material it was made of.
Then he turned the pot over again and looked at the bottom.
There is a line of small seal characters written vertically on it: Leshan Hall!
Seeing these three words, Chen Rui's head roared, it turned out to be a treasure used by Qianlong.
You must know that during the Qing Dynasty, many items used by the palace had nicknames.
For example, for items used by Emperor Qianlong, many of the deposits were signed with the name Leshantang.
This Leshan Hall is the Chongqing Hall in the Chonghua Palace, where Qianlong lived when he was the prince.
The three words Leshantang were inscribed by Emperor Yongzheng.
He lived here until he got married and then moved out.
Therefore, many of the items used here earlier had the funds from Lok Sin Tong.
Nowadays, there are many products with this kind of base price on the domestic market, but products with this kind of base price are the hardest hit areas for fakes.
There are even many imaginary device types, so you only see this kind of low-end products in China.
Ninety percent of them are fake.
But now Chen Rui can guarantee that the pot he saw is definitely authentic.
Because he could see the red light emitted by the treasure through the black rust on the outside of the pot.
This kind of mellow red light is unique only if it is a real treasure and a treasure of extremely high specifications.
However, he didn't know what happened to this pot to make it look so sloppy.
He took a look at the price tag on this pot, but for this product, the price tag was empty.
At this time, the stall owner had already sent away the previous customers and came to Chen Rui.
"How's it going? Sir, do you value this copper kettle?"
The people asked Chen Rui with a smile, and Chen Rui's pupils shrank.
"You said, this is a copper kettle?"
"Um...that's probably it..."
When Chen Rui asked this question, the stall owner knew that Chen Rui was a knowledgeable expert, so his voice became less certain.
Because anyone with some common sense knows that the rust on copper kettles is usually green.
And if this pot was really used by Qianlong, it would certainly not have been reduced to such an embarrassing situation.
When Chen Rui saw that the stall owner was not so confident after hearing his words, he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
His goal having been achieved, he continued to ask.
"How much does your pot cost?"
"Well, this pot has ten thousand... knives!"
The stall owner originally wanted to shout a high price, but when he saw Chen Rui's expression change, he put the pot down.
He quickly changed his voice and shouted the price at ten thousand dollars.
Chen Rui rolled his eyes and took out the dragon-slaying knife: "Two thousand knives."
"Nine thousand swords."
The two of them went back and forth and finally settled on the price at $4,500.
Chen Rui paid, and both parties had happy smiles on their faces, but at the same time they both secretly laughed in their hearts that the other party was stupid.
Chen Rui was happy that he got the treasure, while the other party was happy that he finally got rid of this burden.
Chen Rui picked up the copper pot and left, but passed by a lemonade stall.
He asked for a glass of freshly squeezed lemonade, but before leaving, he asked the boss for the leftover lemon dregs from the quick squeeze...
The boss was surprised as to why he wanted this thing, but he gave him a few pieces without thinking too much.
Chen Rui took it and without saying a word, wiped the outer skin of the copper pot.
Sure enough, in just a few strokes, a lot of the black rust on the outside of the copper kettle was rubbed off.
The background color of the copper kettle was revealed. The boss standing opposite took a look at the shiny golden color and couldn't help but cover his mouth in surprise.
"Wow, what magic did you use? This is so beautiful!"
The beautiful clerk standing opposite asked in surprise.
