Chapter 092 Rumors of "Ghost Market"

"There are still records of ceramic tiles in historical books?" Jia Sidao said curiously.

"Yes, great-grandfather, I have never seen any tiles appear?" Jelly asked sweetly, and after the question, he blinked at Jia Sidao, fearing that Jia Sidao would not know that she was helping to ask together. Seeing that Jia Sidao rolled his eyes helplessly at her.

This little girl is absolutely uneasy. God knows what kind of request will Jia Sidao make after he appreciates the favor now.

"Haha, is there any record? Do you know if you go and search for it yourself? If you want to learn knowledge, just follow other people's explanations, it is still a minority after all." The old man said with a smile, "I can only remind you that this thing has only appeared once in history, and it is the only time. As for the time, it was in the early years of the Ming Dynasty..."

Jia Sidao secretly wrote down the old man's words. I think the old man is also for his own good. Especially this tiles are still from Jia Sidao. I can only find my own things and some related knowledge by myself, figure it out, and understand the history, background and culture of things. It is also a kind of fun in collection.

Why is it sometimes said that even if you are careful in the antique market, people will sometimes say that you are taking medicine and paying tuition fees? It means you will learn from your mistakes and gain wisdom. This time you are careful, you will definitely study such things thoroughly. In the future, you will not be fooled easily.

The knowledge collected is gradually enriched through continuous accumulation.

Of course, almost everyone who collects antiques has had the experience of being aware of it. Especially some novice people, when they first entered this field, they were often deceived by veterans because they didn’t have enough eyesight. They spent a lot of money, but they often bought fake things. Jia Sidao has heard that some people can fall in the same place twice or three times.

There are countless such things.

Even if you are a celebrity, you are no exception. Just like a famous host on Hunan TV, you once revealed that you have been deceived twice by the same fake.

Speaking of the reason why he collected it, it was purely a chance. Once, on his birthday, he went to the house of a collector named Liu Di in Changsha to play. Another friend brought a lot of ancient jade products and asked the collector to appraise it. One of the jade guises aroused his interest. He held it in his hand and played with it repeatedly, and the more he looked, the more he couldn't put it down. When his friend saw that he liked it so much, he immediately decided to give it to him as a birthday gift. Moreover, it was particularly surprising that after the appraisal, most of the ancient jade products were "reliable" things, and the jargon was not very accurate. This jade gui was actually one of the only real products. This made him overjoyed when he first came into contact with antiques, which aroused his strong interest in antiques.

From then on, he began to slowly enter the field of antique collection while working hard.

In order to find good things, for a long time, he would get up early in the morning to catch the "ghost market" of Changsha Antique Market at three or four o'clock in the morning.

The so-called ghost market means that there are "ghosts" in the east and west. One is that the origin is unknown, and the other is that there are too many fake things.

As for places like Linhai, although there is a small antique market and the atmosphere is pretty good, the "Ghost Market" does not exist. Jia Sidao has curiosity about the "Ghost Market", but it is only limited to curiosity. After all, let alone the things there, not to mention him, even some old experts often take a look at them.

Just like the host Jia Sidao saw, once when he was visiting the "Ghost Market", he saw a small red lotus cup in glaze on a street stall. It was intact, with glaze patterns and other extremely exquisite. He took the small lotus cup in his hand, turned on the strong light flashlight and looked carefully. The patterns and dark flowers of the cup were quite clear. He had never touched any hands and feet, and it didn't seem like a fake thing. However, he was still not sure.

At the moment of hesitation, countless antique dealers began to tell stories at random. This lotus cup was made by a famous celebrity in Jingdezhen during the Republic of China. It was extremely rare. After several earthly wars and the Cultural Revolution, only one of them was lucky enough to be preserved. It was definitely an isolated product. The talk was told in a systematic manner, which made the host who was not very experienced at that time instantly impressed. When asked about the price, it was very cheap, only a few thousand yuan, and the deal was immediately completed.

This scene is somewhat similar to when Jia Sidao first took action in the Linhai Antique Market.

However, the host obviously did not have the good luck as good as Jia Sidao.

In the early morning of the next day, when he went to the "Ghost Market" again, a strange thing happened. It was still at the street stall that another lotus cup exactly the same as the one he bought yesterday appeared. He hurried forward to ask what happened. When this shrewd antique dealer saw that it was him, he immediately pretended to be "surprise" and told him that he happened to find another one at an old family house.

Look, in order to make a pair of orphans, the host still made up his heart and gritted his teeth and bought it.

Who knew that the strange things that followed came one after another. One, two, and three of the same lotus cups started to pop up like bamboo shoots after a rain. At this time, even if the host didn't have to ask for a look, he knew that he had bought fake things, which was considered a considerable tuition fee, and it was still in the same "pit".

This is how you collect it. Once you pay the tuition, your eyes will illuminate once. After you keep paying the tuition, the host's eyesight is getting better and better, and it is no longer the "Wu Xia A Meng" of the past. Moreover, in order to further improve his eyesight, he often goes to the Hunan Museum to see some standard instruments.

Especially through his interpersonal relationships, he became one of the first 20 high-end members of the Hunan Museum.

With such an identity, he can often participate in some activities organized in the museum, be able to watch some authentic cultural relics up close, and even have the opportunity to play with them. This will gradually develop the feeling of distinguishing the authenticity of antiques. In addition, if the time is right, he will even have the opportunity to enter the archaeological site and observe the specific status of the unearthed cultural relics.

Such treatment is beyond the reach of ordinary people like Jia Sidao.

Jia Sidao was extremely envious of such opportunities. Especially the perception ability of his left hand, even if he could not distinguish the authenticity of porcelain and other types, when it comes to playing with antiques of the same kind of period in his hands, I believe that no one will have more accurate and delicate perception than his.

As the saying goes, you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods.

Jia Sidao felt that if he wanted to make some achievements in collection, it would be a problem that should not be ignored. Just like the blue and white ceramic tiles in front of him, if they were imitated by later generations, even if they looked very realistic on the outside, as long as the internal body quality was slightly different, Jia Sidao could completely determine whether the other one was true or false based on his perception of the authentic product.

"By the way, great-grandfather, I still have something here, and I want to ask you to help me with my palms." Looking at the ceramic tiles, Jia Sidao suddenly remembered that there was a piece of porcelain in his leather bag. While talking, he leaned over and took it out.

"Haha, Xiao Jia, you haven't collected for a long time, and you have collected a lot of things. I saw this opportunity and brought it here specially." The old man laughed at first, and then asked indifferently, "It was also collected from Xiao Hong?"

Because when introducing blue and white porcelain tiles before, Jia Sidao also said it truthfully. I think, with the old man's mind, he would definitely not mind Jia Sidao's behavior of picking up bargains. As long as he put himself in his shoes, if this happened to the old man, even if he encountered it, he would probably look for opportunities to pick up bargains like Jia Sidao?

There is no such thing as sympathy in the collection of antiques, and it emphasizes a person's eyesight on antiques.

Of course, if Jia Sidao now knows that the three items he received at a low price are priceless, he will be slightly better to Mrs. Hong when he returns to Linhai, such as hiring a nanny and helping to take care of the old lady's daily life. It is also considered because of respect for the old man.

If you return the profit every time you pick up a bargain, then when you are careful, can you also ask the seller to return the money?

"Yes, great-grandfather." Jia Sidao responded, "However, I haven't seen the small pastel bowl you mentioned earlier..."

Jia Sidao naturally understood the intention of the old man asking this question. However, he did not see the bowl at Mrs. Hong's home. Moreover, Mrs. Hong had never mentioned that there were any other porcelains at home. Perhaps after so many years, the old lady himself did not know where the pastel bowl was thrown.

On the contrary, Mr. Hong took good care of the furniture that Mr. Zhang loved more during his lifetime.

Thinking of this, Jia Sidao felt a little moved by the relationship between Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Hong.

Because this time the brush was cleaned, and the repair technique was really rough. You could tell at a glance that it was made by an outsider. The old man couldn't help but frown slightly. Not to mention the old man, even when Jelly saw this brush wash, his eyes widened, as if wondering why Jia Sidao got such a broken porcelain?

Moreover, seeing Jia Sidao's actions, he was careful to be a treasure.
