Chapter 77 Antique Market

Sometimes I think about the blind date girl, if you follow me, when will you wait until I save enough money to buy a house and a car?

Working a temporary job, I can't make ends meet even in a month. Life is really tiring!

The words "Dating Girl" were like knives piercing my heart, and the soul-piercing sorrow completely broke out at this moment. It was a kind of heart-breaking pain.

Youth rushes around the gaps between fingertips like running water, and thoughts of parting quietly creep over the lush branches. The sadness of the years quietly turns into a hazy drizzle in the dusk of this summer, and fragments of memories scatter.

In one place, dust returns to dust, dust returns to dust, and they part ways.

Thirty summers have passed, and gardenias have bloomed thirty times. It is always a season filled with a touch of sadness.

It’s been almost ten years since you graduated from college, aren’t you still chewing on your old age?

I know my mother is worried about me, so I still go back from time to time, firstly because I have no money, secondly because I need money, and thirdly to see my mother. In short, I still make my family worried even though I am thirty years old!

Turning off the phone, he looked at the missed call from the landlord. A hint of helplessness flashed on his face, and he pinched the 400 yuan in his pocket. The cost of eating alone was at least 200, so it was only 200.

How can I live this month? Let’s just wait and see for a while. Then the creditor’s phone call came, and then the landlord asked me for 200 yuan. Then I was penniless, so I

He didn't call back, gritted his teeth and walked into the antique market in front.

Coming here to relax is like traveling for me.

Or, I don’t have the mentality to pick up leaks by chance. I am only interested in antiques and have no further pleasure. I don’t have to make progress but I have to be rich. Only with money can I pick up small leaks and the like.

This is the largest and most prosperous antique market in our city. It has a long history and already took shape in the Qing Dynasty.

It is similar to Liulichang in Beijing. There used to be an academy next to the antique market, and the examinations were held here. Over time, it became a place where the four treasures of the study, antique calligraphy and paintings were bought and sold.

Later, it became an antique market, which can also be regarded as a flower and bird market.

Some time ago, Lao Wang, a stall owner in the antique market, said that he had some stuff from the raw pit on hand that had not been exposed to light. The raw pit was an antique obtained by robbing tombs. They said it was an ancestral treasure. In fact, it was dug out, and it was still an authentic treasure passed down from the ancestors.

It’s unknown.

But no one has looked into it carefully. We are a third-tier city and we can’t find any treasures, so everyone doesn’t understand. We just buy and play a lot. The key is that in third-tier cities, you can’t compare the prices of first-tier cities, so you have to go shopping.

To find treasures, you have to find them in small cities like ours.

It is said that not long ago, an expert came to our place and spent more than 50,000 yuan to buy a few things. When he returned to his city, the price tripled! I thought to myself, this is even more huge profit than drugs!

I am an antique lover, of course, I am a beginner at most. The things I buy are mostly rare ancient books, calligraphy and painting manuscripts and other cheap items. Things related to books usually only cost 20 to 30 years each.

I bought them all and used them myself. They have never been resold, so I don’t have any experience in picking up any leaks!

It sounds like I'm a guest, more like a tourist. These antiques, antiques! They're just for fun, definitely not for collection. That's what I think anyway, but why do you say I'm a familiar face in the antique market?

.

Because, after arriving, some stall owners on the street stalls greeted me one after another at first, and I responded to them one by one, and every shop had the same attitude. They all felt that others greeted me so warmly, and I didn’t want to buy it.

Watching is also a kind of encouragement to others.

It's not like those performers used to shout like this: "Dear fellow villagers, as the saying goes, you rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out. Today, I have come to Guibao to earn a living. If you are rich, you can support me, and if you have no money, you can support yourself. Okay!"

Without further ado, let’s talk about watching the show. The first show is heart-breaking. We invite a performer, Sao Nian to come on. "That doesn’t require people to support you, so you see the value of people like us is reflected,

I looked and looked and touched and touched almost everything before I left.

Over time, I have figured it out to some extent. I dare not say that 10 out of 10 antiques in these stalls are fakes, but if one out of 10 is genuine, that is already the conscience of the industry.

There is one thing that is real and worthy of everyone. This real thing is either a bronze mirror with a very low value, about three to five yuan a piece, or it is a very high-priced, pitted thing, that is, it was taken from an ancient tomb.

What was stolen is worth hundreds of thousands. You can't even think about it, you can't touch it, and you don't dare to get involved.

Naturally, the prices are quite high, usually starting at two to three hundred, with prices ranging from ten to twenty thousand, which are not uncommon at these stalls.

Of course, these real things are generally for old customers to see, and only old customers can ask about them. Stall owners will never display these real things casually.

Old Liu glanced at me, touched his goatee, squinted his little eyes, and showed a shrewd gaze. Then he said calmly: "Brother, do you have any plans? Why don't you patronize my business first?

There are a few interesting things here. If you like them, I'll give them to you. I missed one, so I don't dare to tell you if there are more. Isn't three to five hundred thousand a problem? Then you won't have to worry about a car or a house."

You said you would give me three to five million evenly. You and I are not related to each other. Anyway, either you are stupid or I am stupid.

Antique shops generally don't say they sell to you when they sell to you, but say they give it to you evenly, and you still have to pay for this.

I glanced at Old Liu and thought, Uncle Zhang, do you think I am stupid? You fooled me in just a few words. Three to five million, if you had a chance to make a fortune, you would still leave it to me. You would have already made it yourself.

, and besides, can the total of the things in your stall be worth three to five thousand?

Because I am so familiar with them, they all bluff people like this. Some people believe it after being coaxed by them a few words, but I will not be fooled. I just smiled. Are you crazy about money? I don’t even know.

Where can I find money and you have the nerve to make money from me?

Old Liu seemed to be a little unhappy: "You boy, I gave you two tricks, but you not only didn't appreciate it, but actually made sarcastic remarks. I also want you to see some good things, do you see it?"

As he said this, Lao Liu really observed furtively that no one else was paying attention to him. During this time, many stall owners gathered together to play cards.

At this time, Lao Liu carefully took out a painting and said, "Look, I finally got Li Keran's things. Boy, you know Li Keran!"

I don’t know, I can’t check Du Niang! Li Keran (1907-1989), JS Xuzhou, a famous contemporary Chinese painter, mainly creates landscape paintings. He was a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, vice chairman of the Chinese Artists Association, etc.

Job. Li Keran is famous in the art world for his landscape paintings. He has also done considerable research on Chinese freehand figure paintings. His style has influenced many later generations. He studied painting since he was a child. In his early years, he studied at SH Art College and the National West Lake Academy of Art. He was born in 1946

Taught at Peking Art College; in 1956, he traveled tens of thousands of miles to sketch in order to revolutionize landscape painting. In his early years, he adopted the eight major methods of landscape painting, and his brushwork was simple and smooth. Later, he studied painting from Qi Baishi, and his brushwork became more concise. He also learned the accumulation of ink from Huang Binhong.

In his sketching, he also learned about Lin Fengmian's way of handling bright and dark shadows in his landscape paintings. His painting style became more rigorous, and his brushwork became thicker. In his later years, his brushwork became more sophisticated. He was also good at painting cows, and his brushwork was quite clumsy.

Interesting. His representative works include "Lijiang Scenic Spot", "Ten Thousand Mountains Are Red", "Jinggang Mountain", etc.

After I saw it, I felt it looked familiar. It seemed like this thing was the same as the one on the Internet. I looked at it carefully, but I still couldn't be sure it was authentic. This old Liu thought highly of me too much and showed me Mr. Li's painting.

Even if I thought it was real, I couldn’t afford it! So I took a few more looks.

Then I couldn't help but sigh. Of course I was still a little excited. I thought I had really seen the real work in this innocent place. I couldn't help but feel a little excited. I stammered: "This painting is really well done!"

I originally wanted to do painting, but I didn’t know why, so I said it and it was done!

I saw, unknowingly, that after Lao Liu opened the painting, many people gathered when I was looking at the painting. As soon as I finished speaking, an expert nodded repeatedly, and you can see that this painting is not a painting.

It was made, and you could tell he was an expert at first glance! The person also praised me and said that sometimes it’s hard to tell others that there is something wrong with other people’s paintings, so some people don’t even say they imitate them, but they say they are done!

Unexpectedly, I accidentally said that Lao Liu bought this painting at a high price and spent a lot of money! Originally, he was happy that day and wanted me to open my eyes. Unexpectedly, the painting was discovered by an expert.

It was his own fault. Old Liu hated me.

So every time I passed by her stall, he would tidy up the stall consciously. He also said that I was an unlucky person, as long as the things I touched could not be sold at a good price, it was also because antiques were not popular in those years.

Because of that, and also because I was passionate about antiques during this period.

Therefore, I have touched many antiques in this antique market. You know that people who play antiques are superstitious. When Lao Liu said this, everyone nodded their heads, blaming me alone for the bad market.

You think I don’t have such a great ability to give up, and everyone’s business can’t do it. But the merchants don’t think so. During that time, as soon as I left! They collected as much as if the urban management came, and all of a sudden, the entire market

It's a lot quieter. I don't understand when I have such great charm and can mess up a market.

So for a while I stayed at home and didn’t go to the market. So if it hadn’t been for a long time, they would have forgotten about it! I wonder if Lao Liu’s paintings have found another home? I took a look at this

The market is full of new faces, and few recognize me. Now I have learned to behave and stop touching randomly. After taking a glance, I will never stop.
Chapter completed!
