Chapter 19 Antique Market
The antique market in Guangfu is not as centralized and planned as some cities, and it is laid out all day long.Most of them are preserved in accordance with historical habits, presenting a kind of original ecology, and the distribution is very scattered.For example, the main store of calligraphy, painting and cultural relics on Wende Road, and the stamp and coin trading center on Haizhu Middle Road.The other well-known ones are mostly concentrated in the Laoxiguan area, but they are also scattered, and you can occasionally see some storefronts in every street.
On a relatively large scale, there is the re-planned Xiguan Antique City.In the early days, it was mainly overseas return porcelain, but now it deals in ancient ceramics, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, four treasures of the study, jade and jade, and different types of new and old intersecting, mainly old art.
Some powerful antique dealers who have been active in the world of antiques and auctions for a long time gather here, so you can often see some rare good things appearing here, among which ceramics account for the largest proportion, as far away as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and as close as the Republic of China. One of the four major antique cities in the country.
Wu Chen didn't go to Xiguan Antique City very often. He felt that it was too commercial and lacked a bit of market flavor.As a wanderer, Kangwang Middle Road and Daihe Road are the best!
With Hualin Temple as the center, it spreads out, thinking that Kangwang Middle Road is the tree trunk, and there are countless alleys, and there are various large and small shops left over from history.There are many alleys, intertwined, jade, porcelain, miscellaneous items or among them, all kinds of painting, craft processing, and even selling clothes and shoes. Of course, the most concentrated place is the famous Hualin Jade City.
Wu Chen still prefers to visit those small alleys and small shops, such as Duobao Road and Fengyuan Road, which spread out from Kangwang Middle Road.
In addition to keeping in mind the principle of "see more, listen more and sell less", the main reason is the lack of money. It often takes a long time to be willing to buy one or two "handicrafts".
When Wu Chen arrived at Hualin Temple, it was dusk, and the streets were crowded with people. Both sides of the road were full of small stalls selling jade and miscellaneous items. Various vendors dragged carts among the tourists. During the walk, the horns blared, and there were all kinds of "lose your mother!" scolding sounds, and it was bustling, not much different from the Computer City area.
It seems that the antique market in Guangfu is thriving. In fact, it is not the case. The antique trade in Guangfu is relatively flat. After all, it lacks the cultural atmosphere of the capital or the Central Plains. It's just a business. Selling bottles is no different from selling CDs. Anyway, you can sell what you can sell. If you don't mix well, pack up and go to the nearby Shangxiajiu to start selling clothes.
Wu Chen didn't know anyone around here. The only girl he knew was selling discounted shoes in the next street.In the past, when he came here, he also had the intention of looking around. Anyway, he mixed in the crowd, listened to what others had to say, and when he saw something he liked, he would pretend to pick it up and start using it, just to entertain himself.
However, today he came to check for leaks!To paraphrase a line from Master Xing: Brother, my mood today is very different, very different~!
Walking along these alleys, you can see that there are a lot of goods, such as jade pendants, ancient ceramics, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, white jade tooth carvings, crystal ornaments, Shoushan stone carvings, snuff bottles, and bronze Buddha statues.
There are also a few shops in an alley, specializing in Tibetan cultural relics, ethnic embroidered clothing, etc.Wu Chen also visited before, and was amazed by these ancient Tibetan cultural relics.
All over the street, there are antiques, new porcelain and new pottery, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.Wu Chen couldn't help marveling at the way of the world, the imitation ability is amazing, so many handicrafts have been created, it takes someone to distinguish clearly.Rao is that I already have an inexplicable "supernatural power" that is not effective at this time, but there are a sea of things, so I can't look at them one by one, right?
While sighing, he walked swayingly until his legs were sore, but he didn't find anything to buy. In several shops, Wu Chen also asked the prices of several items, and the asking prices were quite high. Even The ability is too lazy to "squeeze" it out, these are basically not purchasable, and there is no meaning of picking up leaks, wasting that god in vain!
But having said that, in this kind of place, there is almost no need to open gold fingers, and those small stalls are naturally selling handicrafts, and the prices are higher if they are popular.
And like those merchants who run antique shops, since they are in this business, they are naturally all masters, and it is not easy to "take goods", so how easy is it to take advantage of them?Even if you open Goldfinger and know that the goods are genuine, the boss is not stupid!Naturally the price is ridiculously high!
Although shopping for things is a pleasure in itself, but his economic conditions do not allow him to buy whatever he likes.
What's more terrible is that the street is full of things, and I feel dizzy when I look at them. I sneaked through a few of them, except for making myself dizzy and dizzy, I didn't get any shrimps!
This leak is fucking hard to pick up!It seems that I was too optimistic before!
After walking around for more than ten minutes, Wu Chen was feeling hungry and wanted to find a place to eat. Looking around, he suddenly saw a jade carving on a carving booth. It was carved with clouds and bamboo. It was very eye-catching, so he walked over. looked up.
"Little brother, you have good eyesight. How's it going? Not bad, right? This is the emerald fairy bamboo from the late Qing Dynasty. Just like the emerald cabbage, it is a dowry item for the concubine Zhen! Does the concubine Zhen know? Does the emerald cabbage know? Just let it go." It’s in the Forbidden City! It costs a few hundred yuan to see it once!” The stall owner was very clever, seeing that Wu Chen didn’t look like an insider, he immediately bluffed away.
Wu Chen couldn't help laughing when he heard that, how could he manage to say such unnutritious words!Although my buddy looks like a village head fan with a rustic atmosphere, he is not so mentally handicapped, right?
He joked casually: "Boss, if this is the dowry of Concubine Zhen, you will be able to live a life of carefree life in the last shoot. Why do you have to get up early and be in the dark every day? Don't follow me." I said, how do you live this kind of life?"
Although he is not very knowledgeable, he can go to a museum or something if he has nothing to do. He can still distinguish this kind of old jade. It has charm, but it has no sense of age at all. It should be newly released, and the texture is not good, anyway, the transparency is very poor.
It was precisely because of the "poorness" that Wu Chen was a little interested. If it was a better object, let alone a dowry item for Concubine Zhen, it would be fine if it was newly carved.
"Hey, little brother, you don't know how to do this. I am in a small business. I collect this thing and sell it again. As long as there is a difference in price. If you like it, you can collect it. Maybe you can pick it up." It's a big leak!" The stall owner was not angry, and continued to fool around with a smile.
Those who do this business rely on their mouths, and how many words come out of their mouths every day.The stall owner pointed to the wooden bracket of the bamboo and jade carving and said, "You don't believe this empty talker, isn't there still a signature? Look, there is the name of Concubine Zhen here!"
"You should leave it alone." Wu Chen originally thought that if it was cheap, he would take it, and the things looked okay, but now that he heard that the name of Concubine Zhen was revealed, he suddenly lost interest, and simply didn't even ask the price. Alright, turn around and leave!My buddy has no money, but you can't insult your IQ, right?
It is said that when women go shopping, they try more and buy less, but compared with those who shop for antiques, they are far behind.These people may not necessarily buy one after shopping for half a year.
The last time Wu Chen bought something was at the end of last year. He saw a "Jade Lying Avalokitesvara" at a roadside stall. From his unrefined eyes, he could tell it was a synthetic material, and it had nothing to do with jade. However, the overall shape is simple and natural, and the details are handled very well, especially the fingers, which are slender and delicate, and the nails are lifelike.
I like it in my heart. After haggling for a long time, Wu Chen finally bought it for 200 yuan. I brought it back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year and showed it to my mother. Simple incense burner, enjoy incense with other "lords" during the festival.
Turning to another alley, still didn't see anything good, Wu Chen rubbed his stomach, and walked into a small restaurant on the side. This is the famous ancient Xiguan area, where various traditional Cantonese food shops can be seen everywhere.After just walking around, Wu Chen decided to treat himself with a sore waist and weak legs. First he ordered a bottle of soy milk to drink, then ordered a double skin milk, a pork liver sausage, and a cage of shrimp dumplings.
"Wood, what are you doing?" Wu Chen was eating with gusto, when Da Ya called.
"It's time to eat." Wu Chen still chewed on a shrimp dumpling, and replied somewhat indistinctly.
"Damn, so fast? I thought you were working overtime!" Da Ya yelled on the phone, paused, and asked mysteriously: "By the way, why is it so early today, who are you having dinner with? Is there anyone?" What's the deal?"
"Go, go! I'm alone, I walked around Hualin Temple for a while, and I just ordered something to eat." Wu Chen finished eating the shrimp dumplings in his mouth, and then said slowly, since Long Ze got married, Da Ya is very dissatisfied with his hindsight.Wu Chen would also like to have a beautiful woman to accompany him, but where is the beautiful woman?
"Damn it! What kind of shopping is a big old man! Did you go to the antique market again? I said, can you keep pace with the times, anyway, you are also a good young man in the new era. If you lay down, my buddies will teach you a lot. What's so good about a broken thing? By the way, was that thing worth the money last time?"
"Damn! Don't ask me if I'm alright, I'm just thinking about something! I threw that thing in the cabinet, I don't know what it is!" Grandma!Wu Chen was very dissatisfied with Da Ya's attitude.
"Hey, it's all right, buddy knows you're fine. Isn't this full of anger! You even went shopping! But be careful, don't have any sequelae!"
"Okay, I'll hang up if it's okay!" Wu Chen didn't bother to talk to him, he was hungry!
"Hey, why don't you guys come over to accompany you on weekends, and you're also depressed during this period of time!" Da Ya said angrily, making Wu Chen a little confused, you don't have to gnash your teeth if you eat rice rolls, buddy.
At this time, the sky has begun to become a bit hazy, but there are no street lights yet. Although the crowds are still there, some shops have begun to close, and the small vendors on the roadside have also begun to pack their things, put them on small carts, and prepare to go home
Wu Chen began to walk back slowly. Although there was nothing to gain today, it was still an activity outside the two points and one line. I felt the atmosphere of the market, and temporarily forgot all the boring work. I was quite satisfied. , I was going to take a bus on the main road outside to go back.The antique market in Guangfu is not as centralized and planned as some cities, and it is laid out all day long.Most of them are preserved in accordance with historical habits, presenting a kind of original ecology, and the distribution is very scattered.For example, the main store of calligraphy, painting and cultural relics on Wende Road, and the stamp and coin trading center on Haizhu Middle Road.The other well-known ones are mostly concentrated in the Laoxiguan area, but they are also scattered, and you can occasionally see some storefronts in every street.

If you lay down, my buddies will teach you a lot. What's so good about a broken thing? By the way, was that thing worth the money last time?"
"Damn! Don't ask me if I'm alright, I'm just thinking about something! I threw that thing in the cabinet, I don't know what it is!" Grandma!Wu Chen was very dissatisfied with Da Ya's attitude.
"Hey, it's all right, buddy knows you're fine. Isn't this full of anger! You even went shopping! But be careful, don't have any sequelae!"
"Okay, I'll hang up if it's okay!" Wu Chen didn't bother to talk to him, he was hungry!
"Hey, why don't you guys come over to accompany you on weekends, and you're also depressed during this period of time!" Da Ya said angrily, making Wu Chen a little confused, you don't have to gnash your teeth if you eat rice rolls, buddy.
At this time, the sky has begun to become a bit hazy, but there are no street lights yet. Although the crowds are still there, some shops have begun to close, and the small vendors on the roadside have also begun to pack their things, put them on small carts, and prepare to go home
Wu Chen began to walk back slowly. Although there was nothing to gain today, it was still an activity outside the two points and one line. I felt the atmosphere of the market, and temporarily forgot all the boring work. I was quite satisfied. , I was going to take a bus on the main road outside to go back.The antique market in Guangfu is not as centralized and planned as some cities, and it is laid out all day long.Most of them are preserved in accordance with historical habits, presenting a kind of original ecology, and the distribution is very scattered.For example, the main store of calligraphy, painting and cultural relics on Wende Road, and the stamp and coin trading center on Haizhu Middle Road.The other well-known ones are mostly concentrated in the Laoxiguan area, but they are also scattered, and you can occasionally see some storefronts in every street.
On a relatively large scale, there is the re-planned Xiguan Antique City.In the early days, it was mainly overseas return porcelain, but now it deals in ancient ceramics, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, four treasures of the study, jade and jade, and different types of new and old intersecting, mainly old art.
Some powerful antique dealers who have been active in the world of antiques and auctions for a long time gather here, so you can often see some rare good things appearing here, among which ceramics account for the largest proportion, as far away as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and as close as the Republic of China. One of the four major antique cities in the country.
Wu Chen didn't go to Xiguan Antique City very often. He felt that it was too commercial and lacked a bit of market flavor.As a wanderer, Kangwang Middle Road and Daihe Road are the best!
With Hualin Temple as the center, it spreads out, thinking that Kangwang Middle Road is the tree trunk, and there are countless alleys, and there are various large and small shops left over from history.There are many alleys, intertwined, jade, porcelain, miscellaneous items or among them, all kinds of painting, craft processing, and even selling clothes and shoes. Of course, the most concentrated place is the famous Hualin Jade City.
Wu Chen still prefers to visit those small alleys and small shops, such as Duobao Road and Fengyuan Road, which spread out from Kangwang Middle Road.
In addition to keeping in mind the principle of "see more, listen more and sell less", the main reason is the lack of money. It often takes a long time to be willing to buy one or two "handicrafts".
When Wu Chen arrived at Hualin Temple, it was dusk, and the streets were crowded with people. Both sides of the road were full of small stalls selling jade and miscellaneous items. Various vendors dragged carts among the tourists. During the walk, the horns blared, and there were all kinds of "lose your mother!" scolding sounds, and it was bustling, not much different from the Computer City area.
It seems that the antique market in Guangfu is thriving. In fact, it is not the case. The antique trade in Guangfu is relatively flat. After all, it lacks the cultural atmosphere of the capital or the Central Plains. It's just a business. Selling bottles is no different from selling CDs. Anyway, you can sell what you can sell. If you don't mix well, pack up and go to the nearby Shangxiajiu to start selling clothes.
Wu Chen didn't know anyone around here. The only girl he knew was selling discounted shoes in the next street.In the past, when he came here, he also had the intention of looking around. Anyway, he mixed in the crowd, listened to what others had to say, and when he saw something he liked, he would pretend to pick it up and start using it, just to entertain himself.
However, today he came to check for leaks!To paraphrase a line from Master Xing: Brother, my mood today is very different, very different~!
Walking along these alleys, you can see that there are a lot of goods, such as jade pendants, ancient ceramics, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, white jade tooth carvings, crystal ornaments, Shoushan stone carvings, snuff bottles, and bronze Buddha statues.
There are also a few shops in an alley, specializing in Tibetan cultural relics, ethnic embroidered clothing, etc.Wu Chen also visited before, and was amazed by these ancient Tibetan cultural relics.
All over the street, there are antiques, new porcelain and new pottery, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.Wu Chen couldn't help marveling at the way of the world, the imitation ability is amazing, so many handicrafts have been created, it takes someone to distinguish clearly.Rao is that I already have an inexplicable "supernatural power" that is not effective at this time, but there are a sea of things, so I can't look at them one by one, right?
While sighing, he walked swayingly until his legs were sore, but he didn't find anything to buy. In several shops, Wu Chen also asked the prices of several items, and the asking prices were quite high. Even The ability is too lazy to "squeeze" it out, these are basically not purchasable, and there is no meaning of picking up leaks, wasting that god in vain!
But having said that, in this kind of place, there is almost no need to open gold fingers, and those small stalls are naturally selling handicrafts, and the prices are higher if they are popular.
And like those merchants who run antique shops, since they are in this business, they are naturally all masters, and it is not easy to "take goods", so how easy is it to take advantage of them?Even if you open Goldfinger and know that the goods are genuine, the boss is not stupid!Naturally the price is ridiculously high!
Although shopping for things is a pleasure in itself, but his economic conditions do not allow him to buy whatever he likes.
What's more terrible is that the street is full of things, and I feel dizzy when I look at them. I sneaked through a few of them, except for making myself dizzy and dizzy, I didn't get any shrimps!
This leak is fucking hard to pick up!It seems that I was too optimistic before!
After walking around for more than ten minutes, Wu Chen was feeling hungry and wanted to find a place to eat. Looking around, he suddenly saw a jade carving on a carving booth. It was carved with clouds and bamboo. It was very eye-catching, so he walked over. looked up.
"Little brother, you have good eyesight. How's it going? Not bad, right? This is the emerald fairy bamboo from the late Qing Dynasty. Just like the emerald cabbage, it is a dowry item for the concubine Zhen! Does the concubine Zhen know? Does the emerald cabbage know? Just let it go." It’s in the Forbidden City! It costs a few hundred yuan to see it once!” The stall owner was very clever, seeing that Wu Chen didn’t look like an insider, he immediately bluffed away.
Wu Chen couldn't help laughing when he heard that, how could he manage to say such unnutritious words!Although my buddy looks like a village head fan with a rustic atmosphere, he is not so mentally handicapped, right?
He joked casually: "Boss, if this is the dowry of Concubine Zhen, you will be able to live a life of carefree life in the last shoot. Why do you have to get up early and be in the dark every day? Don't follow me." I said, how do you live this kind of life?"
Although he is not very knowledgeable, he can go to a museum or something if he has nothing to do. He can still distinguish this kind of old jade. It has charm, but it has no sense of age at all. It should be newly released, and the texture is not good, anyway, the transparency is very poor.
It was precisely because of the "poorness" that Wu Chen was a little interested. If it was a better object, let alone a dowry item for Concubine Zhen, it would be fine if it was newly carved.
"Hey, little brother, you don't know how to do this. I am in a small business. I collect this thing and sell it again. As long as there is a difference in price. If you like it, you can collect it. Maybe you can pick it up." It's a big leak!" The stall owner was not angry, and continued to fool around with a smile.
Those who do this business rely on their mouths, and how many words come out of their mouths every day.The stall owner pointed to the wooden bracket of the bamboo and jade carving and said, "You don't believe this empty talker, isn't there still a signature? Look, there is the name of Concubine Zhen here!"
"You should leave it alone." Wu Chen originally thought that if it was cheap, he would take it, and the things looked okay, but now that he heard that the name of Concubine Zhen was revealed, he suddenly lost interest, and simply didn't even ask the price. Alright, turn around and leave!My buddy has no money, but you can't insult your IQ, right?
It is said that when women go shopping, they try more and buy less, but compared with those who shop for antiques, they are far behind.These people may not necessarily buy one after shopping for half a year.
The last time Wu Chen bought something was at the end of last year. He saw a "Jade Lying Avalokitesvara" at a roadside stall. From his unrefined eyes, he could tell it was a synthetic material, and it had nothing to do with jade. However, the overall shape is simple and natural, and the details are handled very well, especially the fingers, which are slender and delicate, and the nails are lifelike.
I like it in my heart. After haggling for a long time, Wu Chen finally bought it for 200 yuan. I brought it back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year and showed it to my mother. Simple incense burner, enjoy incense with other "lords" during the festival.
Turning to another alley, still didn't see anything good, Wu Chen rubbed his stomach, and walked into a small restaurant on the side. This is the famous ancient Xiguan area, where various traditional Cantonese food shops can be seen everywhere.After just walking around, Wu Chen decided to treat himself with a sore waist and weak legs. First he ordered a bottle of soy milk to drink, then ordered a double skin milk, a pork liver sausage, and a cage of shrimp dumplings.
"Wood, what are you doing?" Wu Chen was eating with gusto, when Da Ya called.
"It's time to eat." Wu Chen still chewed on a shrimp dumpling, and replied somewhat indistinctly.
"Damn, so fast? I thought you were working overtime!" Da Ya yelled on the phone, paused, and asked mysteriously: "By the way, why is it so early today, who are you having dinner with? Is there anyone?" What's the deal?"
"Go, go! I'm alone, I walked around Hualin Temple for a while, and I just ordered something to eat." Wu Chen finished eating the shrimp dumplings in his mouth, and then said slowly, since Long Ze got married, Da Ya is very dissatisfied with his hindsight.Wu Chen would also like to have a beautiful woman to accompany him, but where is the beautiful woman?
"Damn it! What kind of shopping is a big old man! Did you go to the antique market again? I said, can you keep pace with the times, anyway, you are also a good young man in the new era. If you lay down, my buddies will teach you a lot. What's so good about a broken thing? By the way, was that thing worth the money last time?"
"Damn! Don't ask me if I'm alright, I'm just thinking about something! I threw that thing in the cabinet, I don't know what it is!" Grandma!Wu Chen was very dissatisfied with Da Ya's attitude.
"Hey, it's all right, buddy knows you're fine. Isn't this full of anger! You even went shopping! But be careful, don't have any sequelae!"
"Okay, I'll hang up if it's okay!" Wu Chen didn't bother to talk to him, he was hungry!

Wu Chen began to walk back slowly. Although there was nothing to gain today, it was still an activity outside the two points and one line. I felt the atmosphere of the market, and temporarily forgot all the boring work. I was quite satisfied. , I was going to take a bus on the main road outside to go back.
