The Book of Appreciation

The military master glanced at the pile of things in the sparrow's arms, and said:

"Fifth brother, why don't we go back to the hotel and take care of lunch by the way?"

Wu Di looked at the large bag from the gallery on his back, which was full of painting tubes, and the sparrow carefully held a small cardboard box, which contained all porcelain, and if he was not careful, he might leave regrets.

He shook his head. It looked like no matter which store he entered, the owner's asking price would be at least 20.00% higher.

"When I came here just now, I seemed to see a Huaxia restaurant over there. Let's finish lunch at the nearest one. You can go to any one of you later."

It was just after eleven o'clock, and there was no one in the restaurant. As soon as Wu Di entered, he was attracted by the strange layout in the hall before he found a seat.

The hall of this Huaxia restaurant is not very big, but the boss still used the upper half of the hollowed-out wooden screen to make partitions, and each partition looks like three tables for four.But what Wu Di paid attention to was not these, but the transparent glass head on the pillars at both ends of each partition.

There are seven or eight such small glass boxes in the whole hall, just like the glass showcases in the museum, each of which contains things, including books, porcelain, and even jewelry.Because of the limited space, they are all small pieces, but with the jade-colored lights, they are very eye-catching.

"Sir, this is a feature of our restaurant. You must have never seen it in other places, right? Appreciating antiques while eating can not only satisfy your appetite, but also cultivate your passion. This is a great idea of ​​our boss! I I remember once a guest saw it and said a very appropriate and level sentence, what is it called?"

"Spiritual and material civilization double harvest!"

Wu Di looked at the young Huaxia girl who was ahead of him, and continued with a smile.

"Yes, yes, this is the sentence. Many people say that watching this will increase their appetite a lot!"

Wu Di had already walked to the first glass box, first looked at the brief introduction on it, then looked at the open book in the box, and nodded, it turned out to be a Song edition!

"Do you sell anything here?"

The owner's idea of ​​exhibiting antiques in the restaurant on Antique Street is really good.If you can sell a few pieces a month, maybe it will be more profitable than the restaurant.

"For sale, but no bargaining!"

The little girl answered very simply. Wu Di took a look at the price of this Song block edition, smiled and shook his head, is he not bargaining with you?

"There are a lot of antiques in our store, but only a small part is on display. If you are interested, you can go up and have a look after dinner."

Wu Di made a gesture of wiping away his sweat, you won't be afraid of the city management if you manage like this... oh, the investigation by relevant departments?

The little girl stuck out her tongue and said with a smile:

"It was sold to the shop on the street."

"That means the commission is very generous? Tell me some boutiques."

The little girl led him to turn left and right, and when he came to a pillar, she pointed at a large azure bowl in a glass box,

"This one, the most expensive, is also the best."

Jun kiln sea bowl?Looks like it's from the Song Dynasty?

Wu Di's eyes narrowed. Under the spotlight, this Jun Kiln Sea Bowl was shining with a light blue luster like fluorescent light, with a hint of purple in it. There were pieces of eggplant purple along the inside of the bowl, which was exactly the color of the bowl. The characteristics of kiln change!

"Thousands of peaks are emerald and floating, the rain has passed and the clouds are broken without dust! The beauty of the Jun Kiln is beyond words! Excuse me, can this thing be used?"

"Yes, just be careful, if you break the compensation according to the price."

The little girl smiled crisply and shouted at the counter:

"Miss Boss, someone wants to see the Jun Kiln Sea Bowl!"

As soon as he got the thing, Wu Di felt a strange feeling. He looked at it silently for a while, then looked at the introduction posted on the outside of the showcase, and put the bowl back with a smile.

"520 million euros is too expensive, and it may not be able to reach this price in the auction."

"Hehe, sir, this price is of course not the final price. If you are interested, you can discuss it here, or I can take you to the owner of this piece of porcelain. It's not far away, just go out and turn right for 200 meters."

Wu Di nodded,

"Eat first, and then go and have a look after dinner. There should be a lot of good things in Tianqing Pavilion. If you can't afford expensive ones, it's not bad to buy a few cheap ones."

After hastily looking through a few things in the shop, the food was already on the table, Wu Di casually ate a couple of bites, and said in a low voice with a dignified expression:

"Doraemon, there is something wrong with the Jun kiln over there. It is from the same shop as the cloisonné you saw in Hong Kong. I will ask the boss to take us to that store to have a look later. You all pay more attention."

The robot cat nodded and asked:

"Fifth Brother, what happened to the incident in Hong Kong last time?"

"There is no clue. Boss Liu traded with that person through a middleman, but the middleman should have lied about that person as a friend for money. We have only visited the Antique Street twice in this period of time, right? Here, it seems that the problem is a bit serious!"

"Fifth brother, I haven't heard of anyone in China discovering it, right? Their main shipping channels are probably abroad, so it shouldn't have a big impact on the domestic market."

"It's even more terrifying to flow back to China in the name of returning cultural relics from abroad! Few people would recognize this thing, and I hope there are not many in the market now, otherwise once it is bought by the National People's Congress, even if it is known to be fake, there is no way to deal with it. .”

"That's right, things can be fake, but money is not. I'm afraid that the buyer will have to try his best to prove that it's real. Those who can afford these things are either rich or expensive, so it's hard to do! "

A few people fell silent. If, according to Wu Di, all these things are imitated to the extreme, and there are no obvious features, ordinary appraisers can't tell them apart, what can they do?

The sparrow glanced at everyone and comforted:

"It's okay, as long as he is still shipping out, sooner or later he will be caught."

"The more things flow into the market, the more holes will be opened, and I believe that day will come soon."

Because of this news, Wu Di was in a bad mood and didn't eat much, but the military commander and the others turned the problem into food intake, and swept away the food that had no other taste except soy sauce!

"Fifth brother, I'll take my things back to the hotel and ask the military division and the sparrow to follow you to have a look. These two guys are good at intelligence, maybe they can see what's wrong."

Wu Di nodded, called the proprietress to go out together, and went straight to the antique shop called Tianqing Pavilion.

Tianqing Pavilion is a single-body two-story building, and all the layouts inside are based on the layout of Huaxia antique shops. Judging by the scale, it should be one of the best in this antique street.

The antiques in the hall are divided into two parts. The display cabinets on the left are all modern handicrafts, mainly porcelain. Each piece is exquisite and beautiful. Of course, the price is not cheap.Wu Di even saw a creative kiln transformation art blue starry sky jade pot spring appreciating bottle produced in Jingdezhen, with a price tag as high as 12 euros!

While browsing, he was silently speechless. This is a modern handicraft, not even antique porcelain. It actually costs 120 million RMB. This boss really dares to put a price on it!

After waiting for less than 2 minutes, the proprietress hurried down from the second floor with an old man. Wu Di had his back to the stairs, and turned around and glanced in that direction when he heard the sound.

Seeing Wu Di turning around, the old man upstairs stagnated suddenly, and then walked down in big strides, laughing and saying:

"I said who would be able to see my Jun porcelain. It turned out to be Master Wu Di Wu! Master Wu's visit today really makes the small shop flourish. I am very honored, very honored!"

Wu Di didn't expect that there would be people who knew him in a foreign country thousands of miles away, so he smiled wryly and said:

"I'm just lucky. I have collected a few valuable antiques. How can I deserve the title of master? The old man is really too polite."

The old man came up and handed out business cards to a few people, took Wu Di and walked upstairs,

"Master Wu, I thought there were a few high-quality goods in this shop, but when I saw you, I didn't dare to show them off! However, some boys just came from China last month, and the Pu'er they brought me is a good one. The stuff is said to be more than [-] years old, just open it today and taste it, please, please!"

Wu Di had no choice but to walk upstairs with the enthusiastic old man named Ouyang Jian.Suddenly, I felt the phone in my pocket tremble, and a short message came in.

Taking advantage of the time when the old man was serving tea cakes, Wu Di took out his mobile phone, and it was a message from the military adviser:

"The old man has a problem, don't talk about Jun Kiln."

Wu Di raised his eyebrows in surprise, then sat back on the sofa, secretly thinking about the meaning of these words.

The old man has a problem, don't talk about Jun Kiln, is this old man a character in that line?It's just that the military adviser is the same as himself, he should have just met this old man, what made him come to such a judgment?

"Master Wu's shot in Hong Kong shocked the world. With more than 2 million Jun Kiln narcissus flower pots in hand, I won't use this sea bowl to make a fool of myself. Drink tea, drink tea."

Wu Di took a sip, but he didn't find any special taste, but he tasted it carefully,

"Good tea, full-bodied and smooth taste, bitter and sweet aftertaste, good tea!"

"Haha, if Master Wu likes it, there is still an unopened piece. You must take it with you later. I heard from Xiao Li that you seem to have bought a lot of oil paintings. I wonder if you can let the little old man appreciate it?"

Wu Di smiled,

"Old Mr. Ouyang, you are being polite. It was at the gallery at the street corner that they saw them bullying Huaxia overseas students. They bought all his paintings in a fit of anger. It was not worth seeing. And just now someone was going back to the hotel, so he thought it was troublesome. He took it back."

"Oh...Since Master Wu also has research on oil paintings, I happen to have a few of them in my collection, so I'll make a fool of myself and ask the master to comment on them. How about you?"

I'm afraid that the old man really has a problem. He came here for Jun Kiln porcelain, but he brought it up in one stroke, and brought the topic to oil painting, hum!Isn't this a guilty conscience? (To be continued.)
