Chapter 33 The Classic Scam
Four or two thousand pounds!
Anyone with a little knowledge of martial arts would know that what Lin Dong used just now was the word "yin" in the internal boxing method, or the "four liang dial a thousand catties" in the eyes of ordinary people!
A young man who had been staring at this side from a long time ago cursed bitterly: "Idiot!" Turned around and left.

Obviously, his plan didn't work out.

"Are you okay?" Ji Yao was the first to react, and she also saw the whole process, and asked a little anxiously.

"It's okay." Lin Dong replied with his gaze still on the fallen strong man.

Deng Yinger still didn't know what was going on, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Ji Yao told her what happened in a low voice, she was angry, and just about to speak, the strong man had already got up, and glanced at the young man who left just now, but he didn't see anyone, turned his head and glared at Lin Dong glanced, turned and left quickly.

"Why is this person like this?" Deng Yinger didn't understand, looked at the strong man's back angrily and said, "It's really rude! Run away without apologizing for bumping into someone! If I see him again, I will find someone to beat him up." He took a breath!"

"Let's go, there is nothing to lose..." Lin Dong knew that things might not be that simple, but he looked in the direction the strong man was looking at just now, but he didn't find anything, so he left first.

Within a few minutes of this little episode, Deng Yinger had already escaped from the emotion just now, and began to "scavenge" Baolai excitedly.

"Come and see, there are good things here!"

Deng Yinger quickly found something good, and hurriedly called Lin Dong and Ji Yao over.

The two people came to a closer look, and it turned out that in the corner between the two stalls, there was a middle-aged woman, dressed as a construction worker, with dried-up cement spots on her clothes.In front of her was a large lump of soil, half a meter high and more than 40 centimeters wide, with an irregular shape.Underfoot is a pile of smashed clods, and a lot of broken porcelain can be vaguely seen inside.

Deng Yinger anxiously called the two of them while picking up those small porcelain pieces in the soil.There were already three or four people watching in front of this woman, no wonder Deng Yinger was anxious.

Lin Dong was not in a hurry, and walked forward slowly, observing while walking.Ji Yao didn't care about these things either, and followed Lin Dong.

"Hurry up!" Deng Yinger saw that the two people were not in a hurry, so she stopped picking them up, stood up and trotted to the two people, dragged the two people to the stall with each hand, and said as she walked, "See? , These are soil clods dug out from the construction site, inside are broken pieces of porcelain hundreds of years ago, if they come across an official kiln, how much would a piece cost?"

Lin Dong felt a little funny, and asked, "How do you know this stuff is valuable?"

Deng Yinger gave him a blank look: "Even if I don't read as many books as you, I have heard the saying that 'everything is not worth a piece of Jun kiln - no matter how expensive a Jun kiln is, it is not worth a piece of Ru kiln', now I am looking for these broken porcelain pieces. Don’t you have to find them from these underground ruins?”

While talking, several people who picked up the tiles had already paid and left.

Deng Yinger said anxiously: "Look? Don't be in a hurry, this is good, all the good things have been picked up!"

Seeing that Deng Yinger really wanted to buy it, the woman hurriedly greeted her enthusiastically, "Girl, don't worry, I still have a big clod of earth here. As long as you spend 500 yuan, I will break it open. You can choose whatever it is. 50 yuan a piece, how about it? You pick it and I'll let others pick it!"

There was a hammer in her hand, obviously as soon as Deng Yinger agreed, she would do it.

Just as Deng Yinger was about to agree, Lin Dong held her back, shook his head and said, "Fake, let's go!"

Deng Yinger didn't believe it and didn't want to leave. When the woman heard this, her expression changed, and she said to Lin Dong in displeasure, "Young man, even if you don't buy it, you can't slander others, right? I'm a worker at a nearby construction site. We dug up these pieces when we were digging the foundation. At first we didn’t know that these things were still valuable, and we dug up these pieces to prepare tents. Later, many people went to the construction site to pick up these tiles, and we realized that it was Take them out and sell them for money.”

Speaking of this, she said with some pride: "You say it's fake? Let me tell you, a professor from some university came over yesterday and spent 600 yuan from me to buy more than a dozen tiles, and said What kind of Longquan Kiln!"

Hearing what the other party said, Deng Yinger felt more and more that it was true. She simply took out her wallet and wanted to pay. Lin Dong grabbed her and said dumbfoundedly: "Do you really believe it? Are you using this routine? On this street, you can hear more than a dozen of them every day! This thing is fake, just make some broken porcelain pieces, mix them with a lot of mud, dry them and then process them. It’s done. 500 yuan ? You can buy a lot of them anywhere else for five yuan!"

Deng Yinger didn't know who to listen to, so she turned her attention to Ji Yao.

Ji Yao said: "Listen to Lin Dong, I also don't think it's true."

"Then Lin Dong, how did you find out?" Deng Yinger was very unwilling. It seemed that she would not give up until Lin Dong told the truth.

"Did you see that clod?" Lin Dong pointed to the large clod and said, "If it was really dug out for hundreds of years, the soil quality would have been pressed evenly, at least there would be no confusion. The situation. Archaeologists know, right? The soil is layer by layer. Look at her, not only is there no layer, but there are many holes in the soil. It is obvious that the mud is uneven and there are air bubbles in it, right? ?”

"Just based on this, it doesn't mean it's a fake, right?" Deng Yinger actually believed it in her heart, but she was still a little stubborn.

Lin Dong had no choice but to continue: "Look at the pieces of broken porcelain in that clod." He pointed to the clod and said, "If it is a piece of broken porcelain that has been underground for hundreds of years, it was either the ruins of a porcelain kiln or it was in the process of transportation." Broken ones, or household broken ones, buried. Usually such tiles are not completely mixed in the soil and buried, at best, a hole is dug, and the broken tiles are thrown in, and then buried.”

"What does this have to do with it?" Deng Yinger didn't understand, and asked suspiciously.

Lin Dong smiled: "It has a lot to do with it. Think about it, shouldn't most of the pieces of porcelain that are usually buried like this lie flat? At least most of them should be like this? It can't be that they all stand upright?"

"That's the truth." Deng Yinger nodded.

Lin Dong pointed to the clod and said, "Look at this again, there are pieces of broken porcelain not only in any direction, but also in any color, and you can see that there is no money for these foundations. Porcelain is for palace use or commercial use, most of them have models, even if they don’t, the colors can’t be so mixed…”

The rest, needless to say, must be understood by others, right?
