Chapter 107

: Being targeted

The next morning, Liu Yufei pulled Jia Sidao out of the hotel together. The two of them were looking for it and since they had arrived in Baofeng, they should naturally go to the antique market to stroll around.

Not to mention that places like Baofeng have a profound cultural heritage, especially in porcelain. The surrounding areas such as Ruzhou and Yuzhou are all holy places for Jun porcelain and Ru porcelain. Moreover, Liu Yufei is also planning to find some jasper things he likes in the antique market. Henan Province is also a major cultural relics province.

However, Jia Sidao scoffed at Liu Yufei's plan. If it is possible to find a good porcelain here, then there is probably no hope for jasper-like things? But after arriving at the antique market, Jia Sidao felt that his conclusion seemed to be a bit too early.

Apart from porcelain, there are many other things.

The scale is naturally much worse than the Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai, but in terms of the quality of things, after Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei were strolling around in a coarse cloth, they were deeply touched. Perhaps the place is close to the countryside, which is equivalent to the front line of antique trading, and there may be more likely to exist. Many things, even the vendors themselves do not know much about them. Whether it is good things or old things, they are mixed together, which will further enhance the eyes of collectors.

After all, the hawkers' things come from all kinds of sources, some come from collecting them from the countryside, some come from tomb robbers, and some even come from specialized old ones, which are all in ones.

Liu Yufei once secretly told Jia Si: "Don't look at places like Baofeng, which produces porcelain. But the more such a place, the more fakes there are, it is not as good as other antiques, and it is more 'real'."

Of course, this thing is really not true, it is just relative. When he said this, Liu Yufei showed a smug smile on his face. Jia Sidao felt awkward when he looked at it. It turned out that Liu Yufei had known this situation for a long time. No wonder he had to take him to the antique market, just to entertain Jia Sidao. In addition, there was also the intention of wanting to attract someone to accompany him. Compared to visiting the antique market alone, with Jia Sidao by his side, at least he could talk.

Jia Sidao looked at the lively market around him and couldn't help but sigh that he had too little knowledge of porcelain after all. Otherwise, with the assistance of the perception ability of the left-hand supernatural power, as long as Jia Sidao can take a closer look at the external manifestation of things, he would use his perception ability to test the inner body of the porcelain, and compare it with the standard instruments of the same dynasty where the porcelain is located, and he would be somewhat sure.

However, this kind of perception detection is not 100% sure, even if the perception is correct, it can only be regarded as a psychological comfort; secondly, Jia Sidao has not yet used any decent standard device, which makes him have very few reference perceptions in his mind. Where can he compare it?

"Go and go there and take a look." Liu Yufei saw the things around him. Although there were many fakes, especially porcelain, there were still a constant stream of pedestrians. There were even special stores selling tourism products for tourists to buy. The prices were relatively low. Compared with the authentic Song Dynasty products that some vendors claimed to be, they were not at all out of weakness. There were still many people who bought them. They spent dozens or hundreds of dollars to pick ones they liked, and they were not worried about whether the things were right. Anyway, they bought them home and put them on for a look. It was also a good decoration. It was just to keep a souvenir.

Jia Sidao looked in the direction indicated by Liu Yufei. Not far from them, a large group of people were gathering in front of an antique stall. You could vaguely see a hawker flying around selling his collection to a customer.

The Chinese seem to be watching the fun everywhere they go.

Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei were no exception. When they got closer, they could clearly feel that what they were doing was just a simple transaction, but it was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. The reason was that the vendor was so talented that he was so good. He said his things incredible, as if he had seen them with his own eyes and had experienced those years of thousands of years ago.

"Looking at this bronze mirror, it is definitely like a bronze ware from the Warring States Period that was replaced. Look at the bow button here, this style is a pattern that can only appear in the homes of the great people at that time. Perhaps it is the things from the homes of the fourth young master of the Warring States Period. Look at this, there are also these edges and the color of the mirrors here. You are an expert. This bronze ware is not like porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and it is not easy to attract people." The vendor said, and stuffed the things directly into the buyer's hands.

While the buyer was holding the bronze mirror in his hand and checking it over and over, the vendor was still introducing the origin of the thing. As he was talking, he looked at the audience around him, but his voice was much smaller, as if he was afraid that too many people would hear it. It was done enough, but everyone could hear it in public. It turned out that this bronze mirror was collected by an old man's house when he went to the countryside. It was said that it was a tomb robbery in the Republic of China. The old man took over from his ancestors and had been stored for more than half a century.

It's very serious. Not to mention the buyer, even Liu Yufei and Jia Sidao next to him listened with relish.

I just paid for it. Just listening to this story is worth the time for the two of them to stand aside for so long. However, the buyer seems to have a little understanding of the tricks in the antique market, and obviously will not be moved by a small story. Although he likes it a little, his expression on his face is still a little hesitant.

Just as he was about to put down the bronze mirror in his hand, an old man stood up next to him and said, "You have a look?" If you don't look at it, let me see it."

The buyer handed over the bronze mirror to the old man. The old man put on reading glasses, took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, and observed it carefully. After a while, he put the bronze mirror in his ear, flicked it with his finger, and heard the sound was very crisp, so he nodded and said, "The thing is not bad. Although there are still some flaws in appearance, the string pattern button is clearly visible. There are three raised string patterns on the back of the bridge button, which is one of the important features of the Warring States bronze mirror... By the way, how much does this thing cost?"

The vendor immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "You are always very eye-catching. You can't practice this kind of movement without any real skill." He hesitated and said, "Let's do this, the side of the bronze mirror is indeed a bit broken. Besides, you are also a big expert and must know the market. The price is 30,000 yuan at a time, and you can take it if you want it."

The old man thought about it for a while and said, "Thirty thousand yuan is too expensive. If the quality is intact, it is worth this price. As for this piece, I want it for 15,000 yuan, how about it?"

"Ten fifteen thousand is too little." The vendor shook his head and said, "Although the current market for bronze ware is not too tight, it has not fallen to this level. When I closed it, I spent a lot of money. Why don't you offer another price?"

"Okay, I look at this thing, it's quite eye-catching. It's about 18,000." The old man mentioned his bid slightly.

"This is still a little bit too little." The vendor frowned and began to shirk. "If it is less than 25,000, this thing really won't be able to leave."

When the old man heard this, he handed the bronze mirror in his hand to the vendor and said, "Then the business will not be done." As he said that, he put the magnifying glass back in his pocket and prepared to leave.

The vendor could only explain with a wry smile that the hardships were hard when collecting things. He was sad and crying when he smelled it. It seemed that the old man would be sorry for his business without spending 25,000 yuan.

Seeing this, Jia Sidao felt a little funny, and pushed Liu Yufei for a while and asked, "You said this thing, right?"

Liu Yufei gave Jia Sidao a blank look: "I don't play with bronze ware, do you know if the things are right? If it's a nephrite, you can still say something. However, this vendor looks a little too sensible, so it's hard to say this thing."

"Is this thing right? What's the matter with other vendors?" Jia Sidao shook his head and said angrily.

However, Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei were making jokes. The original buyer over there, a middle-aged man who was about thirty or forty, began to feel anxious. Before the old man and the vendor could negotiate a business, they intervened.

He himself didn't quite understand this bronze ware, but he could understand what the old man said just now. It costs 25,000 yuan, but the old man didn't want to pay, he was willing.

Without saying a word, he had to trade with the hawker directly. The transaction price was naturally 25,000 yuan that the hawker said. That was not vague at all.

When the vendor heard this, he could only apologize to the old man with embarrassment and then excitedly made a deal with the middle-aged man.

Originally, the transaction with the old man was naturally a bit unkind to change the buyer before it was over. However, as the saying goes, merchants are all pursuing the best interests. The old man himself refused to bid and could not reach an agreement and was taken first by the middle-aged man. This is also a good thing for the vendor. To put it bluntly, whoever gives the price is given higher, the things will be given to whom.

The old man could only glar at the middle-aged man, muttering that the young people nowadays are not very lawful. Even if they are slapping the antique market, as long as the transaction is still in progress, even if the people around him see it, they will not remind him unless they are relatives and friends.

Now the middle-aged man's behavior is obviously contrary to the rules. However, the middle-aged man doesn't care about this. He is holding the bronze mirror in his hand and is filled with joy. He thinks that the accusations of the old man are all in his ears. Seeing that the transaction has been completed, the people around him naturally dispersed.

Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei also breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to visit other places.

However, after walking around, Liu Yufei signaled behind the two with his eyes, as if he was targeted by someone in this antique market.
