Ye Chen was pulled by his father-in-law and drove to the antique street early.
The father-in-law felt refreshed. As soon as he got off the car, he waved to Ye Chen and said, "Come on, I'll show you what it means to pick up leaks."
After that, he strode towards the antique street.
Ye Chen had to follow quickly, looking around as he walked.
On weekends, there are many more people on the antique street than usual.
The antique jade shops on both sides are very densely opened, and the vendors who set up stalls on weekends are also densely packed, and the whole street is suddenly blocked.
There are also many vendors who spread a plastic sheet on the ground filled with various antiques and jade items to welcome customers on the spot.
Ye Chen glanced around casually and saw almost no genuine products. They were all deceived by unscrupulous traders to deceive laymen and out-of-town tourists.
Many tourists who buy fake products are completely fooled and smile happily while holding the imitation products, thinking they are getting a big deal.
“This is it!”
Xiao Changkun stopped and stood in front of a simple stall, his face unable to conceal his excitement.
I saw a few tourists standing next to the street stall, choosing antiques. Xiao Changkun was afraid of falling behind, so he quickly squeezed into the crowd.
Ye Chen glanced at it. The stall was nothing more than a piece of oil paper spread on the ground, with more than a dozen antiques stained with mud, such as blue and white horses, copper coins from the Five Emperors, copper wine glasses, blood jade bracelets, yellowed calligraphy and paintings...
..
There was a dazzling array of things, but Ye Chen just took a casual look and found that they were all fakes.
The stall owner was a thin man with dark skin. He wore a blue coarse cloth, his hair was shiny and disheveled, he looked honest and honest, and he looked extremely dull.
"Look at this!" Xiao Changkun greeted Ye Chen excitedly, pointed to a colorful bottle with a big belly and a small mouth, and said in a low voice: "This is the wine bottle that comes with my two cups! I bought it back to make a set.
If you buy a set, the price will double!”
Ye Chen glanced at the wine bottle, weighed it in his hand, raised his head and asked the boss.
"How much?"
The boss stared with bulging eyes and said stupidly: "I, my father said, at least 20,000 yuan, I won't sell it for a cent less!"
When Xiao Changkun heard this, he almost burst into laughter and quickly said to Ye Chen: "This boss doesn't know the goods. Let's buy it quickly to avoid being picked up by others."
After saying that, he hurriedly dug into his pocket.
At this moment, Ye Chen quickly held down his hand and said with a smile: "Dad, this thing is not worth 20,000, so we won't buy it."
"What?" Xiao Changkun was stunned, "Then...how much do you think it's worth?"
Ye Chen stretched out his palm and waved it in front of the boss: "This is the number."
"Five thousand?" the boss asked with eyes wide open.
Ye Chen shook his head: "No, it's fifty yuan."
The boss stared at Ye Chen for several seconds as if he were looking at an alien, and suddenly shouted: "Do you know the goods? This is an antique left by my grandfather, a genuine treasure. You city people are too bullying.
.”
Xiao Changkun was also anxious and gave Ye Chen a hand: "Don't talk nonsense, or you may ruin the business."
Ye Chen smiled, picked up the bottle, turned it over, pulled the yellow mud on the bottom of the bottle with his hand, pointed to a slit in the middle, and said, "Dad, look at what this is."
The slit was extremely small. If Ye Chen hadn't pointed it out, ordinary people wouldn't be able to see it. A row of tiny English letters was revealed in the slit.
"china."
Xiao Changkun was stunned. His mouth was wide enough to fit an egg in, and he couldn't react for a long time.
Suddenly, he came back to his senses, pointed at the boss and shouted with a red face.
"You, you are cheating!!"
Ye Chen took the wine bottle, shook it at the honest boss, and said: "Manufacturers don't dare to blatantly forge antiques and deliberately write this mark. You are quite smart. You also know how to put a mud block on it. In one sentence, thirty yuan
Money, should I sell it?"
"this......"
The boss was stunned
Suddenly, all the honest look on his face disappeared, and he slapped his forehead and smiled.
"Boss, I went out in a hurry today and took the wrong bottle."
"Did you get it wrong?" Ye Chen smiled, picked up a snuff bottle full of mud, dug out the mud at the mouth of the bottle with his hand, looked at the sun, and said seriously: "You got this right,
It’s made in Sioux City.”
Inside the snuff bottle, there is a row of small transparent characters.
"Made by Su City Handicraft Factory."
"I'm illiterate, who knows what's written here." When the boss saw that it was revealed, he even stopped doing business. He sneered and wrapped the oil paper around his feet, trying to grease his feet.
At this time, Xiao Changkun completely came back to his senses. He was so angry that he was treated like a monkey for a long time.
He grabbed the boss and roared angrily.
"You liar, give me your money back."
"What money? I've never seen you before." The boss struggled hard, and fake copper coins and fake jade horses kept falling out of the oil paper cloth in his hand.
The jade horse fell to the ground but didn't break. It seems to be made of hardened plastic.
"If you don't refund the money, I will call the police!" Xiao Changkun yelled with his eyes wide open, his lungs almost exploding with anger.
While the two were tugging, something suddenly fell from the boss's arms.
The moment the thing fell, Ye Chen suddenly frowned and stared at the thing on the ground.
This thing is a fist-sized white pebble, just like the pebbles on the river beach, gray and dull.
But one thing is different: this pebble is carved with the words "peace, wealth and honor"!
The font is crudely made, and it looks like it has been artificially carved.
Such carved stones are everywhere in scenic spots and are worthless. No wonder the boss didn't put them on display just now.
However, Ye Chen walked up and picked up the stone, and the blood all over his body suddenly boiled.
Just now, he felt a different kind of atmosphere exuding from this antique!
Said to be breath, it was actually more like an energy, a magnetic field, which exerted a strong attraction on him.
Ye Chen knew that this should be the spiritual energy recorded in the Jiuxuan Tianjing!
Reiki is a long-lost mysterious energy that can not only completely transform a person's physical fitness, but can even be practiced and produce many effects that ordinary people can't believe!
Ye Chen was so happy that he calmly weighed the pebbles in his hand and asked, "Is this yours?"
The boss was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously, "Yes."
"How can I sell this stone?"
Xiao Changkun was also surprised and asked: "Why did you buy this broken stone? Don't you know that what this profiteer sells is all fake!"
"It's just a stone. It's a good idea to buy one and go back to offset the bad luck." Ye Chen said with a smile.
The boss took the opportunity to break free from Xiao Changkun's hand and sneered at Ye Chen: "Do you really want to buy it?"
Ye Chen nodded: "I really buy it!"
The boss suddenly became energetic and spoke eloquently: "Brother, you are really discerning! Although this pebble of mine looks ugly, it has an extraordinary origin. It was placed on the dragon table in Emperor Qian's study. Paperweight..."
Ye Chen didn't have time to listen to his long speech, so he interrupted impatiently.
"Stop talking to me about all these things and tell me the main point!"
The boss laughed dryly and said: "Since you know the goods, then... twenty thousand!"
Ye Chen said disdainfully: "Are you crazy about money? The fixed price is three hundred! If you don't sell it, I will call the police to arrest you."
"Three hundred?" The boss sighed and said with a dry smile: "Brother, you are a person who knows the goods. Three hundred is enough."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and held the stone in his hand.
Xiao Changkun was confused, wondering what he was buying such a broken piece of stone for. Just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly heard a squeaking sound from beside him.
