City: Develop Skills And Make Money By Setting Up A Stall With Qingmei
Chapter 47: A Morning’S Harvest
Jiasheng Antique Market is the largest antique market in Shangbin and also the deepest antique market.
It is said that the Jiasheng antique market began to take shape in the 1970s, and it continues to exist today. The foundation is very strong. From this Jiasheng antique market, I don’t know how many priceless items have been excavated and missed. Genuine, of course, there are also many people who squander their wealth here and break up their wives and children.
Jiasheng Antique Market is also fundamentally different from the usual antique markets where street stalls are set up. There are no street stalls here. On the contrary, there are antique shops. The shopkeepers are all middle-aged people in bright clothes and full of handicrafts. Look. It seems that the wealth of the family is not small, which actually shows how difficult it is to pick up the leakage.
The owners of various antique shops are all veterans who know their goods. There is no such thing as picking up items easily. Only treasures that even the shop owner cannot distinguish are likely to be picked up and taken away. However, there is a thousand layers of effort on the part of the owners. Routines are hard to guard against.
Putting aside these antique shops, due to the long history and popularity of Jiasheng Antique Market, a business district-like industrial chain has begun to form around it.
At the entrance of the antique market, there are restaurants, hotels, teahouses, and coffee shops. It is a wonderful sight.
Xiao Ya's Bentley Mulsanne parked next to a restaurant outside Jiasheng Antique Market. It immediately attracted the attention of many people. When they saw Xiao Ya Lin Hao getting out of the car, the woman was sexy and the man was handsome. Everyone was even more excited. Cast an envious look.
"The professors are already waiting in the restaurant. They came one step earlier than us. Maybe they have gained something in the morning." Xiao Ya said to Lin Hao with a smile.
The professors from the Treasure Appraisal Group came to Jiasheng Antique Market to test the waters as early as the morning, half a day earlier than Lin Hao. As soon as Lin Hao and Xiao Ya entered the door of the restaurant, they immediately saw a row of people wearing cheongsam. Beautiful waiters lined the aisles to welcome you.
This is a Chinese-style five-star restaurant. The decorations are all in antique design, which goes well with the Jiasheng Antique Market not far away. The private room where the professors are waiting is designed to look like an ancient dining room. When you open the window, you can You can get a bird's eye view of Jiasheng Antique Market.
"Distinguished guests, please come in!"
The beautiful waiter led Xiao Ya and Lin Hao to the private room, opened the door, and bowed to Lin Hao and Xiao Ya.
Seeing Xiao Ya and Lin Hao entering the box, several professors stood up and nodded in greeting.
"Is this what everyone gained this morning?"
Xiao Ya glanced at the three objects on the table with a smile, and Lin Hao also followed Xiao Ya's gaze.
On the table were a small incense burner, a celadon engraved bowl, and a handwritten ancient book.
"These are some gadgets we found in the morning. It's a small test of our skills." Professor Jiang Xing from Huangdu University introduced.
"Well, looking at the background color and craftsmanship of the celadon engraved bowl, it should be from the Ming Dynasty. This incense burner is also interesting." Xiao Ya nodded and said.
In the eyes of knowledgeable people, it is very simple to identify the dynasty and history of a cultural relic. Take this celadon engraved bowl as an example. Each dynasty has its own unique firing method, so it is naturally easy to identify.
However, it is easy for experts to identify it, and there are also people who make imitations who have this knowledge.
"Lin Hao, what do you think of these things?" Xiao Ya turned her head and asked Lin Hao.
Hearing what Lin Hao said, Professor Jiang Xing showed some unpleasant expression on his face just now.
If these things can be placed on the table, it proves that they have passed the eyes of experts. Xiao Ya asked Lin Hao, inevitably it meant that they were not as good as Lin Hao's discernment.
Lin Hao remained calm, walked to the table, picked up the celadon engraved bowl, looked at the incense burner, and finally focused on the hand-written ancient book, "How much did everyone spend to buy these things?"
Jiang Xing and others were somewhat self-reliant on their status. They were all well-known professors and would not give Lin Hao face casually. No one spoke to him for a while.
Xiao Ya frowned and was about to say something when Mr. Wang said, "Lin Hao, this celadon engraved bowl was bought by Professor Jiang Xing for 200,000, and the purple and gold flower incense burner was bought by Professor Xiao Rong." I got it for 50,000 yuan, and I bought this manuscript for just a few hundred yuan."
"The prices in the Jiasheng antique market are not low!" Although Lin Hao heard Mr. Wang introduce it yesterday, he was a little surprised to hear that a celadon engraved bowl costs 200,000 yuan.
With such a high reserve price, no wonder someone picked it up and their family was ruined.
"Congratulations to Mr. Wang. This ancient book is authentic and its value will not be low." Lin Hao put down the celadon engraved bowl in his hand and said with a smile to Mr. Wang.
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this? Are my celadon engraved bowl and Professor Xiao's purple and gold incense burner fake?" Jiang Xing said with an unsightly expression.
Lin Hao simply congratulated Mr. Wang, and the meaning of his words was naturally self-evident.
Xiao Ya was silently leaning on the table and watching Lin Hao. Jiang Xing and Lin Hao were now at odds with each other, but it was also a good opportunity to see how good Lin Hao was at appraising treasures. Xiao Ya was curious about what Lin Hao had. How capable is he? Can he be better than this expert professor?
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Hao's expression remained as usual and he said in a calm tone: "The blue-glazed carved bowl is of excellent quality. There are no lathe marks on the bottom of the bowl, and there is patina. Generally speaking, this appearance is almost nine out of ten. It’s the real thing.”
Hearing what Lin Hao said, the coldness in Jiang Xing's eyes softened a lot. Jiang Xing could tell that Lin Hao knew what he was doing.
"Just please take a closer look at this glaze. The color is much lighter than that formed over time. The most important point is the edge of the bottom of the bowl." Lin Hao said, carving patterns on the celadon glaze. The bowl was turned over, exposing the bottom to the sun.
Everyone took a closer look. Under direct sunlight, they could see a faint mark on the edge of the bottom of the bowl, which was not visible at all under normal light.
"This is..."
Jiang Xing's expression changed. Such traces can only be seen in modern craftsmanship. In other words, this celadon engraved bowl is not an antique at all!
"Am I being tricked?"
Jiang Xing was in disbelief. Jiang Xing, a professor at Huangdu University, was actually tricked as soon as he made a move? Where does he put his face?
There was a sparkle in Xiao Ya's eyes, and Lin Hao's treasure-appraising skills amazed her. Lin Hao, an expert professor, could tell when he saw something wrong.
"Everyone should pay attention when buying things in the future. As far as I know, Professor Jiang Xing is good at identifying bronzes. You should be careful when buying this kind of porcelain. The water in Jiasheng Antique Market is very deep."
Xiao Ya stood up and smoothed things over.
Lin Hao also nodded. As for the purple and gold incense burner, he didn't need to say more. Professor Zhang Kai had already put away the incense burner.
Everyone now knows that Lin Hao's identification skills are definitely comparable to those of so-called experts and professors, or even better than them!
