I'm really the king of leaks

Chapter 21 "Scales" with characters

"Gold-gilt Bronze Statue of Amitayus Buddha in Yongle, Ming Dynasty."

"This statue is a masterpiece of the Yongle court in the Ming Dynasty. It wears a corolla on its head and a high bun on the top. It has a square and round face, broad shoulders, a tight waist, and a meditation seal in its hands. The clothes are smooth and beautiful. The lotus seat at the bottom is full and exquisite. Under the pedestal, there is an engraved inscription of the Yongle year of the Ming Dynasty, the font is extremely elegant and smooth, all of the above are the characteristics of genuine products. It represents the highest level of Buddha statues in the Ming Dynasty and has great artistic value!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yi was a little surprised.

What is the concept of a masterpiece of Yongle court statues in the Ming Dynasty?
Zhang Yi is hard to measure.

He didn't expect that in such an unremarkable small stall, there was a fine copper statue of Ming Yongle's Infinite Life Buddha.

At this time, even Zhang Yi himself was a little excited.

"Young man, are you collecting antiques?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi felt that the old man should not be in the antique business.Zhang Yi nodded immediately, waiting for the old man to bid.

"If you like this Buddha statue, please go back!"

"Grandpa, how much is it?"

"Hey... just look at it. Actually, I don't know much about it. I just heard that this place is going to be demolished. My family is waiting to use the money, so I rushed over to have a look, and collected all these years from the village. Sell ​​a few things to subsidize the family."

"My wife is not in good health and has been paralyzed in bed all year round. The three children are all married, but no one cares about it. It would be even better if... I could exchange some money for her medicine."

The old man held a half-eaten steamed bun in his hand, and he must have not eaten breakfast. It is estimated that the dry steamed bun was also brought from home.

"Grandpa, just bid. This Buddha statue is not bad. As long as the price is right, I will definitely invite you back!"

"Young man, I heard that this is from the Ming Dynasty. What's the matter, it must be... It must be worth eight thousand!"

However, after speaking, the old man immediately added another sentence.

"If you think it's too expensive, I can give you another thing, you can choose whatever you want."

The old man was afraid that the price would be high, so he scared Zhang Yi away.

And he is not like those outside stalls who often do antique business. In fact, this asking price is much lower than Zhang Yi's psychological price.

"Okay, grandpa, I will follow the 1 yuan you said. I want everything else at your booth, and I will add another [-] yuan to you. What do you think?"

Hearing this, the old man froze for a moment, as if he couldn't quite believe Zhang Yi's words.

"You... what you said is true?"

When they came, Zhang Yi and Uncle Chen went to get some cash.

After all, collecting antiques will always encounter some special circumstances. Although the QR code is convenient now, it is still very necessary to prepare some cash.

Zhang Yi directly took out [-] cash and gave it to the old man.

Most of the other items on the booth were small items, such as cigarette holders and copper coins, which Zhang Yi felt should not be very valuable.So, with the extra [-], Zhang Yi actually wanted to help the old man.

It was accepted together with other things, and it was just a reason to find a favor and let the other party readily accept it.

If it is another antique dealer, it is estimated that the total price of 1 yuan can be cut in half, and even if the thing is worthless, it is not impossible to charge it for a few hundred yuan.

Trembling, the old man put the 2 yuan in his pocket and put it away.

Then, he helped Zhang Yi wrap everything up.

Large and small, there are twelve pieces in total.

Other things are not unusual, but one of them is half the size of a fist, like a weight, and looks very strange.

"Grandpa, what is this?"

Zhang Yi picked it up with his left hand and weighed it, feeling that it was quite heavy.Moreover, it seems that some seal script inscriptions can be seen on the surface.

"What kind of thing is that? Actually, I don't know too well. I think it looks like an ancient weighing hammer! It used to be used at my house to smash walnuts. I saw that there was a word on it, so I brought it here."

"If you think it's worthless, throw it away!"

Just kidding, Zhang Yi will definitely not throw this thing away.

Although it looks like a weighing mound, it looks like it should be made of bronze, and there are words on it. If it is old, it may still be of some value.

No matter it is any old bronze ware, as long as it has characters, its value is worth looking forward to.

The old man said that he used to smash walnuts at home. Zhang Yi turned around and looked at it. There were indeed a lot of bump marks underneath. Immediately, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

Fortunately, he has the ability to repair.

After collecting the things, the old man sold out all his things, so he left.

Before leaving, I would like to thank Zhang Yi a thousand times.

Zhang Yi wrote a phone call to the old man, saying that if there is anything he wants to sell in the future, he can call him directly without looking for a place to set up a stall.

The old man got the phone number and carefully put it away.

So far, today's identification and repair ability is the last one left.

Therefore, although he was very curious about the "weight", Zhang Yi still decided not to identify and repair it.After all, it was still morning, and Zhang Yi and Uncle Chen were ready to hang around here all day.

Put all the things you just received in the car.

Zhang Yi continued to wander around.

Still mainly street stalls, but this time I didn't find anything good.Turning down the two streets, there was still not even a single object that made Zhang Yi want to use his identification ability.

As he was walking, Zhang Yi suddenly felt as if someone was following him.

Look back.

It turned out to be a man who looked to be in his 30s, wearing glasses, but he had a somewhat gentle temperament.Zhang Yi saw him, he was about to run, but was stopped by Zhang Yi.

"What are you doing with me?"

He stopped and turned around.

"I... I saw that you have collected a lot of things, and I have one too. Do you want to accept it?"

"You follow me?"

Zhang Yi looked at the man suspiciously.

"No... no, you... you misunderstood, I really have something, I think you are more kind than other antique dealers, so I want... to sell it to you..."

"Really? What?"

When Zhang Yi asked, he always felt that this person was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.

The man took another two steps towards Zhang Yi before speaking in a low voice.

"Yuan blue and white."

The reputation of Yuan Qinghua is too great.

In the first half of the year, at the Northern Auction, a Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending mountain picture jar was auctioned for 2.8 million yuan.Ordinary Yuan blue and white, even a piece of fragment, has a very considerable value.

Of course, the more famous and famous the product, the more imitations there will be.

The probability of being cheated by picking up leaks is also very high.

Because, the more imitations there are, the more high-quality goods will be among the imitations, and the high-quality goods among the imitations can even deceive the eyes of experts to a certain extent.

Therefore, the actual product shall prevail.

Zhang Yi looked the man up and down, but he didn't see anything with him.

"Where are your things?"

"You know, that thing is too expensive, I... I dare not carry it with me."

"If you want to accept it, then... just go back with me and have a look."

If it was genuine, and since the other party already knew it was Yuan Qinghua, Zhang Yi would not have the capital to collect it now, and I am afraid that he might not be able to make money if he collected it.

However, Yuan blue and white are also divided into grades, and the prices are also different. If possible, you can call Uncle Chen together.

Of course, this is based on the fact that it is genuine.

Zhang Yi glanced at his right hand and nodded.

"lead the way!"
