Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 163 is true and false
"Tuk-tuk-tuk..."

"Uncle Kun, Xiao Wu, you guys are here, come in and sit down for a while."

"There are a lot of people coming here. When Xiaokun and I came here, we saw many people rushing here on the road."

"These people came to join in the fun after receiving the news of the opening of the ghost market. Uncle Kun, Xiao Wu, drink a cup of hot tea to refresh yourself first."

After a while, Yang Yukun and Han Chunming arrived at Jubao Pavilion.

Yang Guangcheng had been waiting for them in the shop, welcomed them into the house, and made a pot of strong tea.

It’s easy to get sleepy in the early hours of the morning, drink a cup of strong tea to refresh yourself, and don’t sleep in the ghost market for a while.

Han Chunming asked, "Manager Yang, when shall we go there?"

"Let's wait a little longer, anyway, it's not far away, and it will be in the past when the market opens."

Yang Guangcheng checked the time, and it was not even 01:30 in the morning.

The ghost market is open from 2:[-] am to [-]:[-] am. It is located in the alley next to Liulichang, and it takes only one or two minutes to walk there.

The three of them waited in Jubao Pavilion for more than 40 minutes. They waited until after two o'clock in the morning before setting off from Jubao Pavilion to the nearby ghost market.

Yang Guangcheng took Yang Yukun and Han Chunming into a small alley.

From the outside, there is no difference in this alley at all.

After entering, only to find that there is a universe inside.

In the alley, there are about forty or fifty stalls, large and small.

There are also many people who come to the ghost market for a stroll.

But the whole ghost market is very quiet. The people who shop around are basically disguised, holding a flashlight in their hands, and hand in hand with the stall owner to trade if they see it.

Yang Yukun visited the ghost market with his master before, so he naturally understands the rules of this place.

"Uncle Kun, Xiao Wu, let's go shopping separately. I hope we can find good things this time."

"Row."

Yang Yukun reminded: "Say hello if there is anything wrong, and run away if the situation is not right."

"Got it."

After entering the market, the three of them walked around the stalls separately.

The market is not big, and you can see the end at a glance.

With the previous experience of visiting the ghost market with his master, Yang Yukun immediately found the best retreat route after entering the market.

Once the situation is not right, run away as soon as possible. Hesitating for half a second is disrespect for my life.

After visiting several stalls in a row, Yang Yukun found that the quality of items in the ghost market was indeed higher than that in ordinary markets, and most of them were real items.

In his hand, there were also two hand-pressing cups.

These two cups are both blue and white hand-pressed cups from the Yongle period, with blue and white decorations inside and outside.

One cup has a double-lion play ball pattern inside a single circle, and the other has a sunflower in the heart.

"Xiao Kun."

"Little fifth brother, what's wrong?"

"At the stall over there, there's an item that I'm not sure about, and Manager Yang is also a little bit uncertain."

"There are also things that you and my eldest nephew are not sure about, what?"

"A small blue and white jar from the Chenghua period."

"Shouldn't be."

Han Chunming and Yang Guangcheng couldn't be sure about a small blue and white jar from the Chenghua period. Given the strength of the two of them, it was too unreasonable.

Could it be that this small blue and white jar has some other mystery?
Yang Yukun was somewhat interested in this small blue and white jar.

Following Han Chunming to a booth, he saw Yang Guangcheng holding a small blue and white jar, looking over and over again.

"Nephew, what's the matter?"

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with it. It is something from the Chenghua period, but I always feel that something is wrong."

"I'll take a look."

Yang Yukun picked up the small blue-and-white pot and observed it carefully, but he also felt the same doubts as Han Chunming and Yang Guangcheng.

This object is indeed a bit evil.

"Xiao Kun, how are you doing?"

"I'll take a look."

Yang Yukun shined the flashlight on the inside of the small tank, and carefully observed the inside of the tank with a magnifying glass, not missing any details.

Sudden.

He found an extremely small gap inside the tank.

This gap cannot be seen at all with the naked eye.

Even with the help of tools such as a magnifying glass, it is difficult for ordinary people to find it.

No wonder he always feels that this object is both real and fake, so the problem lies here.

"Little fifth brother, eldest nephew, look here, do you see it?"

"Nothing."

"look carefully."

"I'm going, there's really a problem."

Under the guidance of Yang Yukun, Han Chunming and Yang Guangcheng also discovered the problem.

There is a gap in the tank, and as people in the industry, they naturally know what that means.

After discovering the problem, the three of them did not make a sound, and put the small blue and white jar from the Chenghua period back to the booth.

Not long after putting it down, this spliced ​​blue and white jar from the Chenghua period was bought away.

That's right.

This small blue and white pot is spliced.

The three of them didn't notice the problem at first, and felt that this object was both real and fake. They can only say that the skill of the person who spliced ​​this piece of porcelain is too superb and amazing.

New porcelain and old bottom.

This bottom is indeed made during the Chenghua period, but the part of the tank above the bottom is connected.

As the saying goes, jade looks at the skin, while porcelain looks at the bottom.

Porcelain counterfeiting is the weak point at the bottom. It is almost impossible to perfectly produce various factors such as knife marks, mastoids, brown eyes, flint red, and patina on ancient porcelain, so there is a method of counterfeiting that is based on the old one.

First prepare a new imitation porcelain, use technology and hard work to remove the light, then connect the old base, and finally spray the colored glaze, it is difficult to find the traces of the base.

Han Chunming said in a low voice: "The technology of picking up the old ones is really amazing. I have been playing with collections for so many years, and I have never encountered such a high-tech product with high technical content."

"Who said it wasn't? I almost fell for it. If Uncle Kun didn't find something wrong with this thing, I would definitely buy it back."

Yang Guangcheng is an expert in the study of ancient ceramics, and he is also very good at restoring ceramics.

Even so, he almost rolled his eyes this time.

If Yang Yukun hadn't found out the problem, he would definitely have bought this small Chenghua blue and white pot back.

"So, sometimes intuition is still very important, you have to trust your intuition."

At the beginning, Han Chunming and Yang Guangcheng didn't find the problem, but they simply felt that something was wrong.

They chose to trust their intuition and came to him for a look.

If they choose to trust their own eyes, ignore their intuition, and buy that small Chenghua blue and white pot, they will really be taken advantage of.

The fact that Xin Ci took over Lao Di was just a small episode, and it didn't affect the mood of the three of them continuing to visit the ghost market.

The ghost market is only open for two hours, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am.

Two hours passed by in a flash.

By [-] o'clock in the morning, all the stall owners who set up stalls in the ghost market packed up their things and left, regardless of whether the items were sold or not, none of them stayed in the ghost market too much.

Taobao people who came to the ghost market to look for old things also left one after another.
