Baolu Tianxing

Wu Chen and Kong Si had different thoughts, but they both fell into it. They looked at the Ru kiln sky blue glazed string vase in front of them very seriously.

Time passed quickly, and 5 minutes was up soon, and someone below was already urging them. Although they were a little bit reluctant, the two had no choice but to walk down.

"Today is finally an eye-opener!" Although Kong Si could lower his voice, he was still full of excitement. Seeing Wu Chen's pensive expression, he secretly laughed. Dude is overplaying, he is still too young. It's very exaggerated, even if you want to pretend, you don't need to pretend to this level, people who don't know think it's constipation for how many days!

Wu Chen was puzzled, knowing that this was not a place to talk, and he dragged Kong Si to a secluded place, but he couldn't talk about it for a while. This was the most painful part for him. It's so perfect, I can't find any faults!

There was no other way, he could only point out some unclear reasons, such as the gloss of the glaze was still slightly bright, not as calm as the standard one, and so on.

Fortunately, Kong Si still trusts him blindly, but he doesn't question him either. Only in this way, Wu Chen naturally can't explain to him the real horror of this stringed bottle. There are already people in this world who can make fake ones Ruyao is here, which is no less than someone in the mathematics world who has solved Goldbach's conjecture!

It goes without saying that the honor of Ru kiln has been competitively purchased since the Southern Song Dynasty. Although there are few folks, all of them are priced at sky-high prices. But two, even if he killed Wu Chen, he would not believe that that person would just stop there. What a disaster it would be then!

"What's wrong with you?" Kong Si looked at the cold sweat on his head, he must be sick, right?

"It's okay, let's talk about it later!" Wu Chen shook his head. He was so stupid that he felt that he could fool others into believing him without any evidence. I paid so much money to buy it, and I listened to it myself.

They can't take care of this matter now, so let's discuss it with Mr. Liu later. Fortunately, this kind of craftsmanship is definitely not an assembly line production, so there is no rush.

Not optimistic about the left and right, the two packed up, picked up the blue and white plate, and were about to leave, when a guy came over and said with a playful smile: "You two, please stay."

"Well, what's the matter?" Kong Si slightly turned back the cloth bag with the plate in his hand, and then looked at this guy, who looked really shabby, with a bit of old-fashioned charm.

Seeing their guarded expressions, the man hurriedly said with a smile, "Don't get me wrong, my surname is Wu, and I would like to invite you to take time to visit the shop."

He observed it just now, and knew that Wu Chen and the others were from the south, so he bought Boss Song's "controversial" blue and white plate. Although he didn't know the price, it was quite expensive. customers, so I moved my mind and thought about letting them come to my store to have a look.

"Oh, isn't it finished here? Why don't you go and have a look?" Wu Chen looked up at the middle position.

"Hey, what are you talking about. Let them do it. It's useless anyway, and you can't compete with those patrons." Boss Wu smiled more and more obscenely, like an old fox, "By the way, what are you two doing?" call?"

After learning that Wu Chen was also surnamed Wu, Boss Wu was even more enthusiastic. He recognized his family along the pole, and couldn't write two characters of Wu in one stroke, so he got a cup of tea in his own shop no matter what.

Is this all about drinking tea?Wu Chen chuckled, that's okay, I was just looking for someone to inquire about, and I had to leave some clues, so I didn't come back empty-handed.

Boss Wu's store is indeed not very far away. It takes only ten minutes to walk out the door. Regardless of his modesty, his family business is really not small. A building is divided into two fronts, one side sells antiques, and the other side sells antiques. What is sold is jade carvings, which are connected by a spacious passage in the middle.

A few people went inside, and the antiques on the first floor were quite decent, with a taste of Jiangnan. When the shop assistant saw the boss coming, he hurried over and nodded to say hello.

Don't look at Boss Wu's playful smile at Wu Chen and the others, he is still very dignified in front of the guys, nodding with a stern face, and leading them inside.

Wu Chen felt amused, followed behind, and scanned the shop while walking. The quality was mediocre, comparable to Geguzhai. There was no other way. Now antique shops sprung up all over the country. How could there be so many of them? Folk antiques and cultural relics are displayed for everyone.

When we got to the inner room, after a round of tea, Wu Chen went straight in and inquired about Boss Lin, only to learn that he was originally a local gangster who was once admitted to a cell because of a fight. In this line of business, I don't know who he got to know behind his back, and he can often get some "good stuff", which gradually made him grow up, and now he can be regarded as the number one person on Yangzhou Road.

Wu Chen listened to Boss Wu's words with disdain, thinking that everyone is a competitor, and it's normal to be a little dirty on weekdays, so don't worry about it. His original intention was to find out the ins and outs of Boss Lin and leave some clues, so as to avoid the crowd Yes, it would be troublesome to search back later, but I didn't want to cause a lot of complaints from Boss Wu. It seemed that there was a lot of resentment in my stomach. Fortunately, I already knew the name and shop name of the other party, so it was much easier to find it later.

Boss Wu asked them to start the conversation, and couldn't help but complain, but it didn't sound like he was all directed at Boss Lin.Seeing that he was very interested in talking, the two of them didn't want to interrupt him. If they were chatting, they should listen to the story and touch some bottoms on Yangzhou Road by the way.When it comes to the antique market in Yangzhou, Boss Wu is even more energetic, yelling at the waiter to refill the tea for the two of them, and then continue to pour bitter water.

Collecting antiques is a kind of elegant hobby, which has existed in the ancients. Searching in the trading room, accumulating in the trading, and in searching and accumulating, culture, elegance and money collide to form the world's antique rivers and lakes.As a famous city through the ages, Yangzhou is naturally one of the important towns, where antiques are both a fashion and a tradition.

If the world of antiques is a rivers and lakes, then Yangzhou antiques are more like a sect.

And the headquarters of this sect is Tianning Temple, which used to be the distribution center of Yang Zhentai's antiques, and it is second to none in central and northern Jiangsu.Since Tianning Temple was overhauled and repositioned as a Buddhist museum, the antique market has been divided into three, just like a sect is divided into three sects, forming the new Tianning Temple antique market, Hongyuan collection market and Wenchang Baihui Collection Coupled with the sudden emergence of Dongguan Street, it is quite chaotic, and has since fallen into the confusion of development. It can even be said that the Tianning Temple Antique Market has "dead" after the relocation, making it like them. The old shop with a family business also had to take turns according to Feng Shui, and there was no stable life at all.

"Isn't this very good? It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is also accompanied by the lake. There are so many people!" Kong Si smiled. The location of the Red Garden Collectibles Market is good, so there is nothing to complain about.

"What a fart!" Boss Wu didn't hug him for a while, and felt something was wrong after he finished speaking, and explained to them in embarrassment that this was not aimed at them.As far as the matter is concerned, Wu Chen and Kong Si couldn't care less about him, so they smiled and didn't care.

"Don't look at how many people are there now, but there are a few who are serious about playing old things, and they are all tourists, buying souvenirs." Boss Wu smiled wryly, "How good and lively it was in the past. The yard is full of antique stalls. There are thirty or forty antique shops under the corridors on both sides. Many people come here to shop for things in Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Taizhou, Huai'an, and even Anhui. On Saturdays and Sundays, it's like shopping malls. .”

"With such a split now, they are all 'dead'." Boss Wu continued to complain, "It's deserted at Tianning Temple, where is there any shopping? It's lively here, but if you can't stand it, it's just a tourist attraction. Damn!"

What he said was also reasonable, as far as Wu Chen and the others walked this way just now, this Hongyuan Flower and Bird Market has gathered a lot of antique stalls, which seem to be popular, but the bosses of those antique stalls are all over the place. With an accent, when seeing someone passing by, most of them would glance at them and ignore them.Maybe I see too many people who are not in the industry every day, and I don’t even bother to actively solicit business.

Moreover, this market is very complicated. In addition to those antique stalls, there are more trinkets, jade, pirated books, etc., and there are even some mobile stalls selling leather slippers on the side of the road. , the flow of people stopping at these booths is obviously more.

"Hey, there are all kinds of birds!" Boss Wu finally came back, "Those who set up stalls are mostly foreigners, and those who have fixed shops are Yangzhou locals. Of course, there are also people like Boss Lin who are mixed. I also switched to selling antiques."

"Hey, the current Yangzhou Road is no longer the rivers and lakes of the past!" Boss Wu murmured, it seemed that he missed the glorious days of the past.

It's nothing to do with him, Wu Chen and Kong Si don't have the same pains as he does, but if even an old store like Boss Wu's is of this quality, how many real "antiques" are there in those antique stalls? Circulation can be imagined.Most of the antique stalls in Yangzhou are low-value ancient folk items and imitation old handicrafts, which are really "new and fake".

Under such circumstances, what appeared to be prosperity was actually a bubble. This made Wu Chen and the others, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to go shopping and shop around, unavoidably a little bit less interested.

Now that he was in someone's shop, it would be unreasonable not to look at something. Wu Chen and Kong Si looked at each other, drank a sip of tea, and said to Boss Wu carefully, asking him to bring out some treasured objects for himself to see. The ones in the store are useless.

Boss Wu smiled, knowing that the things outside would not catch their eyes, so he told them to wait a while, and went outside by himself, but he did not know where to find a wooden box, which looked a bit old-fashioned. After pulling it out, Inside is a handful of crystal jade ruyi.
