Chapter 3 Picking a Baby

The narration was so familiar, the contempt of the Guangdong tourists disappeared, and he smiled knowingly. He said: "The shop owner's words are very appropriate. This is indeed a good inkstone. I wonder what price the shop owner can sell?"

Just as Mei Ling was about to speak, Jin Qi had already said: "As an antique, this Fang Chengni inkstone is not worth much in the hands of ordinary people, but if it is a collector of love inkstones, it will definitely not be overly concerned about the price."

"How do you say that?" The guest didn't understand.

Jin Qi continued: "This imitation Han Dynasty inkstone is a must-have for special collectors. Now the real Chengni inkstone of the Han Dynasty can no longer be found. If you can get a real Chengni inkstone with a strong Han style, it will be a masterpiece of supplementary work. Therefore Mister is also considered to be predestined with this inkstone, and you can meet treasures thousands of miles away."

The Cantonese guest laughed loudly: "Okay, well said! Would you like to make a price?"

"No bargaining, [-] yuan."

"It's a deal!" The guest from Guangdong boldly agreed, and Mei Ling accompanied her to the bank to transfer the money.

Jin Qi personally wrapped the stone inkstone with cotton paper and put it in a box. Before leaving, the guest from Guangdong held Jin Qi's hand and said: "The shop owner is knowledgeable and good at doing business. If you have the opportunity to come to Chaoqing, Guangdong, you must come to my house. There are more than 400 pieces of stone inkstones of all kinds, and I would like to hear the opinions of the shop owner, and the shop owner will definitely be interested in some good inkstones.”

Jin Qi kept saying yes.The guests left their business cards when they left, and they didn't forget to thank you when they bought something. Mei Ling was surprised, and couldn't help but say: "Qiqi, you have another bonus this month! If you change one thousand to twenty thousand, the boss should treat you. "

"Who wants my treat?" It was Chen Zhong who spoke and brought someone back.

Mei Ling smiled and said the paragraph just now.Chen Zhong was really happy and promised to treat him.Jin Qi, who came with Chen Zhong, also knew him, and he was a well-known "shoveling the ground" trickster in Mudu. "Shoveling land" is the first link in the antique system, searching around the corners of the world, no matter good or bad, as long as they are old and cheap, they will accept them, and then subdivide them and sell them.Huayanlanzi has been in the business for more than 30 years, but there are hundreds if not thousands of treasures that have passed through his hands. His last name is Hua, so everyone he knows calls him Huayanlanzi. After a long time, no one knows his real name. up.

An extra-large canvas satchel was placed on the counter and made a "boom" sound. It was very heavy, indicating that it was in stock.Chen Zhong urged: "Don't be fooled, take it out and have a look."

The fancy-eyed basket chuckled, slowly dug out a black plastic bag from the satchel, and carefully dumped the contents in the bag on the cabinet.The four eyes of Chen Zhong and Jin Qi immediately dropped and flashed.A total of nine things, all sketches.The biggest one is a bronze candlestick, which is broken, and half of the cuttings are broken. The workmanship of the old things is average. There are a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water carved on the cloud base, and a few lotus flowers with parallel stalks.Chen Zhong poked around quickly for a while, picked out two more small things, piled them in front of the fancy basket and asked, "Just three, give me a price."

"Boss Chen only picks three? It's a rare opportunity, so don't miss it. The others are open-ended, so it's cheaper to accept them all."

Chen Zhong took out a cigarette and threw it to the other party. He lit it, took a deep breath and said, "I don't want any useless things as gifts. These candlesticks are not in pairs, and there are broken pieces. I think the three pieces total [-] yuan at most."

Huayan Lanzi squinted his mouth and said, "I don't want to buy a candlestick for [-] yuan. If I add two small ones, I will order [-] first."

Chen Zhong threw out six one-hundred-yuan bills, and growled: "Just don't sell them for [-], I'm afraid I won't find any junk!"

Domineering is Chen Zhong's consistent style, and he doesn't get angry when he sees too many tricks. Although he is still muttering, the six cards of Great Unity have already been put into his pocket.Jin Qi at the side stretched out his hand and grabbed a small rusty object and looked at it for a long time without seeing what it was. He asked, "What is this? Where did you get it from?"

Huayanlanzi said solemnly: "It was dug out from the temple foundation, and it was dug up by the workers of the expansion of Situ Temple in Guangfu Town. It was secretly given to me, and I paid him [-] on the spot. Can the things in the temple foundation be bad? It can still be sent out at night. Silver light."

Chen Zhong laughed loudly, and pointed the cigarette butt at the nose of the blind basket and cursed: "Blow, you can blow it, and it still emits silver light? I think you are thinking about money! A piece of rotten copper is about to blow into a magic weapon. Get out of here."

The two were arguing with each other, but Jin Qi was holding the rotten copper in a daze.After contemplating it intently, I finally figured out that it might be a small bronze box. The erosion of the years has made it rotten into a lump, and even the contents of the box are stuck together.The box is useless, what's inside?Can it really emit light through the rotten shell?
The two are still arguing, and it's the housekeeping skill of an antique person to get red in the face, and sometimes money is won by fighting.There is no standard for antiques, and all authorities and experts are made by people.Stuff without standards sometimes depends on being able to shout, talk, and do nonsense.
