Chapter 22
At night, it was late, and the way of life in Dashi Village still maintained the ancient way of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, so at this time, the surroundings were quiet, except for the chirping of insects and the whining of the wind blowing through the treetops. Outside, there is only the sound of dogs barking from time to time.

"I'll buy one when I come back to Ningdong City."

Sitting in front of the table, Fang Ming opened the laptop that Zhou Yafang lent to him temporarily.

Opened QQ, saw Zhou Yafang's online, suddenly remembered the plate found at Zhao Huo's house during the day, and opened the dialog box, saying:
"Sister Avon, I found a plate, can you help me?"

Zhou Yafang's QQ didn't flash for a while, Fang Ming was wondering when his phone rang suddenly, and it was Zhou Yafang.

"Sister Avon, why did you call?"

Zhou Yafang's crisp voice came from the phone, saying, "Didn't you find something? It's easy to make it clear on the phone. What kind of plate is it?"

The plate was right in front of him, Fang Ming picked it up and looked at it for a while, then said, "There are intertwined patterns drawn on it..."

"Take a picture with your phone and send it to me."

Hearing what Fang Ming said, Zhou Yafang interrupted Fang Ming's words very simply. This kind of description was a typical layman's, and she couldn't understand it at all.

Taking the phone away and looking at it, Fang Ming shook his head and smiled wryly. Where does his broken phone have the function of taking pictures?
"Sister Avon, my phone...can't take pictures. By the way, can you borrow my computer with a camera? Let me show you that."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ming turned on the video, then placed the plate where the camera could see it, and slowly rotated it for Zhou Yafang to watch.

Just after reading it, Fang Ming's cell phone rang again, and it was Zhou Yafang who called.

"From the perspective of style, this should be the 'blue and white plate with twined lotus patterns' from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It should be true from the perspective of style, decoration, and other parts of folk kilns, but because it is viewed through a camera , I'm not very clear, I can't be [-]% sure whether it's true... However, I think it's true in all likelihood."

Fang Ming's spirit was greatly lifted. It was no longer a question of whether it was true or not with Pai Xiu's help. What he really wanted to ask was how much this plate was worth.

"Sister Avon, how much is this plate worth?"

"If it's true, it's about 100 million yuan. A plate like this was auctioned a few years ago, and it cost about 60 yuan. Yours is better in terms of appearance, so the price will rise to a certain extent."

Fang Ming was overjoyed when he heard it, and said loudly: "Sister Avon, it seems that I have a very unique vision. There is a person who wants to buy this plate, and I offered 120 million, but the other party was only willing to offer 10, of course not for sale." Give it to him, want to steal it from me? It's impossible!"

"Hey, do you still have this ability?"

Zhou Yafang was amazed, Fang Ming had only entered the business not long ago, and now he not only found something wrong - he found a good thing, and the price was more accurate, how did he do it?Got it?But if it is obtained, can it be so accurate?
"I think it is about the same level of antique as the previous finger ring, so I set this price."

"Why do you think these two antiques are on the same level?"

Zhou Yafang was rather strange. Fang Ming's feeling was unreasonable but in line with the facts.

"Hey, that's how it feels."

Naturally, Fang Ming couldn't tell Zhou Yafang that he judged the value of antiques based on whether the shadow of Pixiu on the back of his right hand was clear or not. He could only say that this was his own feeling, which was completely unreasonable.

In the video, Zhou Yafang rolled her eyes, not knowing what to say.

"Sister Avon, unless someone offers 100 million yuan for this plate, why don't you sell it?"

"Well, let's decide like this. Although there are some details in the video that are not clear, but basically it can be confirmed that it is a good thing. It will cost at least 8 to 90 yuan to sell, or it will be sold at a low price. By the way. , do you want me to go over and check it out for you?"

Shaking his head, Fang Ming said: "Hey, no need, anyway, I have already made up my mind, no matter whether it is a real blue and white plate with twining branches and lotus pattern, I will sell it as it is."

……

Early the next morning, Fang Ming had just opened his posture in the courtyard but before he could even finish a set of military punches, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Zhao Huo walked in.

"Hey, Uncle Six, what are you doing here so early? Not with Aunt Six..."

When Fang Ming first saw Zhao Huo, Fang Ming was very surprised. In his opinion, Fang Zheng and Zhang Jiafang were fighting fiercely. At this time, they should be sleeping together. How could they wake up early?But when he saw Liu Yangping following behind, everything became clear.

"Fang Ming, Master Liu came to me early in the morning and asked me if I wanted to sell the dish, because he was leaving soon. I said the dish was with you, so I brought him here."

After wiping off his sweat with a towel, Fang Ming pointed to the chairs in the middle of the yard and said, "Master Liu, sit down. I'll go inside and take out the plates."

Sitting down on the chair, Liu Yangping was quite disappointed.After leaving and returning to Zhang's house last night, he kept thinking about the plate and couldn't sleep, so he got up early in the morning to find Zhao Huo.It turned out that he planned to take advantage of Fang Ming's absence to fool Zhao Huo, and then add some money to buy the plate, but he didn't expect that the plate was not with Zhao Huo but with Fang Ming!

Fang Ming was extremely difficult to deal with. He had already seen it yesterday. If he had a choice, he would definitely not want to come to see Fang Ming, but he had no choice—unless he didn't want to get that plate.

Fang Ming gently put the plate on the table, and then said: "Master Liu, this plate is here. You must be very clear about my attitude yesterday. Don't even try to buy the plate from me for 10 yuan."

Before coming here, Liu Yangping knew that 10 yuan was absolutely impossible, so he nodded after hearing Fang Ming's words, and said, "I really like this dish. To be honest, I didn't sleep all night last night. After thinking about it for a long time, I would like to buy it." Add another 3 yuan, a total of 13 yuan, who told me to really like this plate? It can only be bleeding."

13 is bleeding?

Fang Ming sneered inwardly. Did he come to Zhao Huo early in the morning to take advantage of Zhao Huo's eagerness to spend money to buy the dishes?After finding that this trick didn't work, I added some money and said that I was pitiful, as if I had suffered a lot.

Shaking his head lightly, Fang Ming said: "This is the 'blue and white plate with twined branches and lotus patterns' from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. In 60, a plate like this was sold at an auction house for about 13 yuan, and the quality of that plate was far worse than ours. Master Liu, if you want to buy this plate for [-] yuan, that’s not right. possible."

As the saying goes, know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles. Last night Zhou Yafang mentioned that an auction house once auctioned a blue and white plate with twining lotus patterns from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. After the video was over, Fang Ming immediately searched for relevant information on the Internet.

Thanks to the omnipotent Internet, he quickly found the relevant information, and at this time it is natural to "negotiate" with Liu Yangping with confidence!
