Chapter II Trading

People who do the transaction should first say the code words, such as the seller said: the newly unearthed mountain root.

Shangen means jade.

When the buyer hears it, if he is interested, he will ask in detail: How heavy is the mountain root?

This weight actually does not refer to the real weight, but to the age.

The two of them exchanged information on buying and selling items after a code word. If the business wants to continue, they have to estimate the price first.

In the past, they had wide robes and big sleeves. The two of them covered their hands with their sleeves, playing with the world of the sleeves, and bidding with gestures. The price was better, so they could go to the real store to discuss in detail.

What if someone wants to organize the "palm" to dig mushrooms? That's fine.

Most of the antique shops that have been in the past have their own ‘suppliers’. If you want to dig mushrooms, as long as you find such a store, the other party will make a connection when you think you are trustworthy. After the matter is done, all the things poured out will be collected in the store.

There are countless tricks in this, and I just know some of the fur. Nowadays, Panjiayuan has undergone modern planning and there is no ghost market. Among the goods sold, ninety-nine of them are fake. These fakes are specially used to deceive foreign compatriots. Foreigners have particularly praised Chinese antiques in recent years and like to come to Panjiayuan to "Taobao".

Although current affairs are changing and the form has also changed, these secret transactions are still in full swing in Panjiayuan. There is a saying that goes: those who don’t understand antiques, go to Liulichang. There are few fakes there and the chance of being fooled is low, but there are not many good goods. Those who really know how to watch, listen, hear, and speak are all going to Panjiayuan. Although the place looks chill, those who move underground are all hard goods.

Tofu and I got out of the car and walked all the way inside.

No matter when this place is crowded, it is much lively than the gorgeous antique city in Shenzhen. Walking inside, I was sweating profusely. I walked on both sides and set up street stalls, such as yellow goods, white goods, mountain roots, double rounds, mixed balls, soft pieces, hard pieces, personal mouth, big mouth, long neck, and the name of the name, but not the name of the name, so there are too many.

Tofu and I were dazzled. All we saw were imitation goods, and all we heard were the communication sounds of Hu Tianhaidi. What I did, my pair of pearl earrings were worn by Empress Dowager Cixi back then. My gilded dragon wooden barrel was used by Emperor Tongzhi to go to the toilet. I walked around Tofu and I were all in the same Western shell products.

I thought to myself: These street stalls are all parallel products. The real experts may still be in the store inside, so I should hurry up and take a look inside. Just as I was about to take tofu faster, I suddenly heard a street stall next to me, fooling a foreigner.

The street stall was wearing an instant noodles, wearing a cultural shirt, and his face was covered with big bumps. Throwing it into the crowd could scare a bunch of girls.

I saw him holding a bowl in his hand, which is a bowl. The bowl was yellow, with a colorful dragon on it, and he was fooling the foreigner: "...This is Kangxi yellow glaze porcelain, and it cannot be reduced. It depends on you as a destiny. Antiques pay attention to fate. If you take two thousand yuan, let's make friends."

Tofu doesn’t know much about antiques and said, “This broken bowl is really or fake. Can it be worth two thousand?”

I said: "The best yellow glaze porcelain fired in the Qing Dynasty and the highest craftsmanship was the product from the Yongzheng period. The yellow glaze of Kangxi is fine and crystal clear, like chicken oil, so it is also called "chicken oil yellow", with a thick and clear body. Look at the one, the glaze is rough and blue, and it has a terrible light. You don't need to go past the hand. You can tell if you look at the porcelain pieces. It is a batch of goods on the assembly line, which is expensive for twenty yuan."

Originally, people came and went around here, and I was speaking in a low voice. Unexpectedly, the foreigner was really good at Chinese. He understood my series of words and was going to pay for it. He heard this and immediately called the instant noodles that set up the stall a liar, and said, "Goddamn!" and hurried away.

The stall person was furious, put his hands on his hips, looked at me, and said, "You can see that you have two brushes, but don't talk nonsense if you don't know. The glaze is blue, it is 'egg yolk green' glaze, and this light, this is not a thief light, it is a 'oil head', which can only be formed by playing with it all year round. Are you here to smash the ground, right?"

The so-called oil head refers to human oil, an antique. If someone often plays with it, the sweat and oil on the hands will often rub, and over time it will absorb oil and emit oily light on the surface. Generally, things with oil heads cannot be faked.

But antiques are all in my eyes. If the bowl is really Kangxi's yellow glaze, it can only be sold for 2,000 yuan, or at least 2 million yuan. I don't want to mess with this person. I pulled the tofu and prepared to leave. The stall owner suddenly stood in front of me and said, "Don't leave. If you don't tell me clearly today, don't leave my shop."

I have always been a person who is soft but not hard. When he said this, I was really angry. I sneered and was about to let him see what the power of tigers is, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The mountain root holds a phoenix in his mouth, six sixes, and speaks with one step."

Tofu was already swinging his sleeves to get on the fight. He heard this and said, "What are the phoenixes six? Young Master Dou and Grandpa Dou are in circles. Do you dare to fight? If you don't dare to fight, just dodge it."

I couldn't help but feel a little funny when Tofu looked arrogant. This kid is a typical dog who relies on his power. When someone is supporting him, he is afraid that the world will not be in chaos and wants me not to be here today. If he encounters such a thing alone, I promise that he will definitely beg his grandpa to sue his grandma and ask for forgiveness.

I don’t know tofu, but I know that this person is talking about the code words on the Tao. The mountain root holds a phoenix, which means that he knows that I have real jade in my hand and it was dug out from a woman’s tomb. As for the six sixes behind, they should be the price he quoted. I don’t know all about jargon, so I can’t figure out what these six sixes actually refer to.

But I was a little surprised. How did this person know that I had the goods?

Is there any flaw in me? When I thought about it, I became curious and said to the man: "I have to go through the refurbished goods."

When the man heard the code, his eyes lit up. He immediately greeted a stall owner next to him, saying that he would go back to the store to receive customers and ask him to help take care of the stall. Then he led us all the way forward. When we walked to the front, there were obviously fewer street stalls on the street, and there were small antique shops on both sides. The man brought us into one of the small shops, and saw that it said 'Shijulaishe'.

The so-called stone naturally refers to jade. The shop is not big. There is a row of glass cabinets on the side and a screen behind it. When the man entered the shop, he immediately closed the door. Seeing Tofu staring at the jadeware of different shapes in the glass cabinet, he said, "Two, these are all parallel goods, and they can't get into your eyes. Let's talk inside."

This man made a 180-degree turn and led the way ahead.

Tofu muttered, "What are you two talking about just now?" I shook my fingers at Tofu and signaled him to wait and see.

There was a small hall behind the screen. When the three of them sat down, I asked, "How do you see that I have something?"

The man smiled and said, "What you need for is your eyesight. Not only do you have to have eyesight, but you also have to be able to smell it. If you want to say that you hear this, Panjiayuan will recognize the second, but no one dares to recognize the first. After you beat me, you will smell the smell of an old corpse from you. I guess you have just come out of the bucket and you must have hot goods in your hands."

Tofu was amazed and exclaimed: "You can smell the underworld weapon we carry on you by just smelling it? Don't you guess it, right? Then you smell it for a few days and I have not washed my feet. If you smell it, I believe you."

The man probably had never encountered a Martian head like tofu and said with a wry smile: "You can be really kidding, so I'll just say it. In addition to smelling it, you have to see. The smell of corpse oil on your body is too strong. Others can't smell it, but it won't hurt me. As soon as I smelled it, I started to look at you..." As he said that, he pointed to my trouser pocket and said: "This raised shape is not a cigarette, not a lighter, and three-ring pattern. I guess it should be a jade Ruyi, right?"

When I was a child, I heard from my grandfather that there are many Wen families in the industry. An antique is placed under the nose and can be cut off the age. There is a joke that a tomb robber has found a dragon head anal plug. When it was shipped, Wen families put it under the nose and immediately said: "This thing is not good. The owner of the tomb must have been constipated when he died. The shit was not clean and the smell was too great."

But there are fewer such powerful Wen family. I didn't expect that this instant noodle is not good, and he has such a skill.

I heard him introduce himself and said that his surname is Shi, whose original name is Shi Qingluo, but in the industry, he is nicknamed "Shi Tutu". It is said that the bumps on his face were caught by the wrong product once.

It was a single-handed businessman who was rewritten from the tomb of the Republic of China. When the single-handed businessman dug the grave and opened the coffin, there was a toad that was red and as big as a cat. It scared the tomb robbers and killed the toad. The blood on the toad was stained with the things in the coffin.

There is a saying among the folk that the big toad that is red all over is the toad king. It is very toxic and colorless and tasteless. If anything is touched, the thing will be poisoned. The tomb robber has heard this and wrapped the thing in cloth and brought it to the stone lump for sale. It pretends to be ignorant of the goods, and it costs a relatively low price.

I thought I had picked up a big advantage, so I quickly bought it. After playing with it for a while, bumps appeared on my face, and no matter how I treated it, it would not be cured.

From Shigedao Grandpa Zeng’s generation, he has been selling antiques. He has been stationed in Panjiayuan for two generations. In this circle, from the bottom to the shipment, there is nothing he doesn’t know about in every link. He is also famous in the antique industry around Beijing.

I thought to myself, if I really enjoyed a reputation, why didn’t I hear of it? I saw this man as a bragging person.

I sat down with Tofu, and heard that he was getting more and more unreliable, so I couldn't help but interrupt him and said, "Do you want to collect things?" I also had my own plans in my heart. Now that we are staring at the notes, the goods in our hands are a little burned, so it's better to take action early. Besides, this stone lump is still a local snake in Panjiayuan. I know some market conditions, and maybe I can use this to inquire about Lu Su from him.
