With a Door In Mind

The latest website: The other party has black and white mixed hair, but the skin on his face is not very loose. Clearly owned by wealthy people and well maintained.

Seeing that Chu Yanyan was scared, the old man smiled: "I'm sorry, girl!" Chu Yanyan smiled and shook her head, "It's okay!"

Seeing this, the old man turned his head and continued to look at Zhou Xiaochuan, "Listen to the accent, aren't you two from the local area? Just came from the mainland?"

This time it's not Cantonese, it's close to Mandarin.

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded with a smile, "Yes, I've only been here for a few years. What's your name, Uncle?"

The old man chuckled: "You can just call me Uncle Shen! Among young people, there are very few people who think like you! Basically, they say, how much is this thing worth?"

On the contrary, Zhou Xiaochuan was a little embarrassed when he said this.

I don't know whether the other party calls himself Shen Bo according to his elders or his surname is Shen Bo. But given the other party's age, it doesn't matter what you call it.

Then he said with a smile: "Uncle Shen, I'll just say it casually, it's not true." The old man nodded with a smile.

After looking at the street, he smiled at him and said, "Actually, you don't need to look at this street. I've already looked around. There is nothing good. Go to the back, especially the last street. That's the best place." Things." Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at it, and indeed, there was nothing good in it.

But just now when his thoughts scanned, he still saw a few good things. Just got ready to check it out!

"Uncle Shen, it's my first time here too, so I just want to watch the fun and get ready to look around!"

Then he was curious for a while: "There is nothing good here, why are you still looking here? I just saw you wandering around."

"Hehe, I just came here to see if there are any new products! Don't miss it." The old man thought that Zhou Xiaochuan meant that he was fooling Zhou Xiaochuan.

But he was not angry, but smiled and said: "Okay, then you go and see, and I won't disturb you." After speaking, he squeezed the maroon walnut and cracked it.

Wandered away.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled, pulled Chu Yanyan through the crowd, and walked towards the place he locked in front. After walking five stalls forward, he came to a stall.

This is a T-shaped mouth, a corner house.

The owner's family inside is eating in the store.

While drinking, I don't worry about losing things outside. Zhou Xiaochuan watched the crowd wandering around inside, and he picked up a mottled-looking Buddha head.

Picking up something, Zhou Xiaochuan weighed it in his hands. Not too light.

Then I looked at it, and the Buddha's head suddenly looked like white marble, that is, made of white stone, which was produced in BJ Fangshan.

A large number of buildings and sculptures in the Forbidden City use this thing. But he knew it wasn't stone.

As for how the mottled colors on it came to him, he doesn't know, it looks very old. What he wants is naturally not this, but what's inside.

During the war and the past few years, in order to worry about the damage of the national treasure, many people added a layer of camouflage on the outside.

But looking at it like this, it should be something from the war-torn period, almost twenty years old. I looked inside and shouted, "Boss, how much is this?"

A family was eating, a middle-aged man in his thirties, next to his wife and three children. Hearing what he said, the other party glanced at him.

Hearing that it was not a local accent, he opened his mouth and announced a number: "200!" Then he continued to eat.

This price was the most expensive price Zhou Xiaochuan asked on this street.

"200 Hong Kong dollars? It's too expensive. Get it cheaper. I'll take it and leave. If it's too expensive, forget it. I'll go and have a look!"

Zhou Xiaochuan thinks the price is okay! But he still pretended to be dissatisfied and asked.

Part of it is to ask about the unit of money, but don’t say it’s the British pound for a while, and don’t make it unclear at that time. Another thing is to see if it can be cheaper, otherwise I will take myself as a fool in the future. Otherwise, I will not have the sense of accomplishment of picking up the mistakes.

You must know that even if it is jade, the price is not very expensive at this time. The expensive ones sold on this street are all copper-headed Buddha statues.

Stone ones are cheap.

When the boss heard what Zhou Xiaochuan said, it seemed that he was really planning to buy it. He put down the bowl and chopsticks and walked out.

Looking at Zhou Xiaochuan, he hesitated for a moment, and quoted a price that felt more honest: "120, this is the lowest price, don't forget it."

Zhou Xiaochuan shook his head, "This is carved out of ordinary stone, not copper. It's not like I haven't asked about this street! 20, no, I'll go to another house to see."

20 yuan may not seem like much, but it is equivalent to one day's wages. This thing is also a handicraft.

The man waved his hand directly, "No, 100, if not, forget it." Zhou Xiaochuan thought for a while, and finally nodded.

With a smile, he took out 100 Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

By the way, I asked for a plastic bag, put it on and dragged Chu Yanyan away. He has no interest in taking the rest.

It's all on the bright side, and the value is not high. The most expensive thing is in my own hands. Instead of shopping in this street, he walked towards the back two streets.

Just happened to meet that old man Shen Bo.

The other party glanced at the bag in Zhou Xiaochuan's hand and shook his head:

"That one is made of plaster, not even a stone! You guys were talking just now, so I can't interrupt, but 100 yuan is not expensive!"

Originally, when I heard Zhou Xiaochuan say this before, I thought it was at least an introduction. Unexpectedly, even a plaster can't tell the difference.

That thing has been here for several years, how could I not have seen it.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled without paying attention, "It's okay, it depends on personal preference, as long as you like it!" He didn't argue either.

The old man nodded when he heard the words, and didn't say anything more. You have to pay tuition fees to get started in the antique business. 100 yuan is not even the tuition fee.

Then the three of them walked towards the second street behind.

The second street is similar to the first, but the shops are bigger and the things are arranged more neatly. Zhou Xiaochuan didn't look any further, but went directly to the third street.

Also the last street.

I thought that the storefront here is bigger and the decoration is more exquisite. Through the glass one by one, you can see the layers of antique racks inside.

There are individual things placed on it.

The name of the shop is also better, XX Zhai, XX Xuan.

And this is the main entrance of Antique Street, because next to it is Man Mo Temple. Hong Kong Island loves temples very much, and this is the bustling street.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the street in front of him, and at least there were forty or fifty houses. There are many kinds of things in business.

But they are all the same.

Looking at the beautifully decorated shops, Zhou Xiaochuan felt that there were quite a lot of good things inside. It seems that I really don't know much about the antique industry when I just arrived here!

In his opinion, Hong Kong Island is more developed than that side.

But antiques probably haven't become popular yet, after all, they only started to prosper after they were re-opened.

What he doesn't know is that Hong Kong Island is a trade center, and artworks are tax-free. Many cultural relics flow to the world every year.

Zhou Xiaochuan watched as the old man next to him entered a shop and was chatting with the people inside. He pulled Chu Yanyan to walk forward.

Chu Yanyan looked at these shops, and said with a smile: "When I came here before, I always looked at them, and I was embarrassed to go in! The things inside are too expensive, and the minimum is a few hundred yuan."

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled: "It's okay, I'll take you in and have a look!" After speaking, he pulled him into a shop.

Anyway, it's okay, just come and play. "Listen to the wind"

The name of the shop is quite elegant. The reason why I entered this shop is because this shop is the most distinctive. Covering an area of ​​more than two hundred square meters, there are three floors in total.

The half on the left are all inland or local antiques, and the half on the right are all Western items. Still very distinctive.

After entering, there was a group of foreigners looking at things in the store, but they were looking at Western things. After Zhou Xiaochuan came in, the people inside glanced at the two of them, but no one greeted them.

Coming to the left, Chu Yanyan was looking at the calligraphy and painting in the glass on the wall, while Zhou Xiaochuan was looking at the porcelain in the antique shelf.

Zhou Xiaochuan took a look and found that the price was not cheap.

But what surprised him was that the prices were marked on the shelves, which is what he usually sees in antique shops.

It's a bit different!

I took a look in the glass cabinet and saw a sky blue round wash with a price tag of 120,000 Hong Kong dollars. There is no pattern on the whole, and there are dense cracks on the surface! But it looks very comfortable.

There are three nail marks, and engraved with the inscription of Qianlong, Bingwu, Qing and Yueyu. The poem is:

Dingzhou is only suspected of its light, and the secret wares of official kilns are kept as treasures, which are said to be rare in the world alone. That is the words mentioned in Qianlong year.

Although this word was mentioned in Qianlong, it was mentioned later. This thing is Ru Kiln, the first of the five famous kilns.

Fewer than a hundred exist.

All the museums in the Mainland add up to more than 20 pieces! Less inscriptions!

nice one!

Although his experience is not particularly sufficient, he still knows that this must be true. Because there are several very similar ones in the space.

Whether it is color, painting or glaze, the difference is very small. 120000.

It doesn't look cheap, but compared to its own value, it's really not expensive. For Ru Kiln in Song Dynasty.

Very cheap. Too cheap.

The important thing is that this thing is rare!

Turning his head to take a look, the waiter over there was still serving the wave of foreign devils. And the old man from before also came in.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and nodded to the other party, and then shouted to the waiter: "Is there anyone? Can you wrap this plate for me?"

"That's not for sale!"

The waiter was not allowed to speak, and the old man next to him spoke up! Zhou Xiaochuan was taken aback when he heard that.

I was speechless for a while.

"Why can't you sell it and put it on display, and still put a price on it? Such a good thing, isn't it tantalizing!"

The old man chuckled when he heard the words: "It's your first time to come here. I don't know. Nothing in this exhibition area is for sale! The price above is the price charged! It's for attracting people."

Then he asked with great interest: "You say this is a good thing? What's a good way?"

Zhou Xiaochuan didn't have much interest in talking about it, and he didn't have that level, so he said perfunctorily: "One Ru kiln has already demonstrated its value, and it also comes with a withdrawal."

Then he glanced regretfully at the other things in the glass. To be honest, there are really a lot of good things here!

This is the most precious thing downstairs. The really good things are on the second and third floors, and the things there are basically high-quality goods.

But he didn't need to look upstairs, it was definitely not for sale.

I took another look at the glass outside. I'm so brave. I'm not afraid that someone will smash the glass and steal things?

As for what the old man just said, he didn't believe it, because the waiter was about to come over when he heard what he said just now, but the old man waved the other party and went back.

Obviously very close.

The old man looked at the things in Zhou Xiaochuan's hand with curiosity for a while.

In the entire hall, the other party could see this unremarkable and most precious thing at a glance. Because there are very few of these things in the world!

Ordinary people really don't have a chance to see it.

At least in the whole of Hong Kong Island, there are only three Ru kilns that he knows and those in his shop. And it was the first time the other party came.

That being the case, why would he spend 100 yuan to buy a Buddha head made of ordinary plaster?

It's so weird!

While thinking, Chu Yanyan also came over from there, and she naturally heard what the two of them said.

Disappointed for a while, "What a pity. Zhang Daqian's imitation of Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is really good! It's not for sale!"

Zhou Xiaochuan glanced subconsciously.

He has heard of this thing, or he has heard of the name Zhang Daqian, or this painting. Sotheby's auction house, hundreds of millions of auctions.

But now the value is not that high, but there is also a price of 160,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Withdrawing his thoughts, he said with a smile, "Okay, let's go to another store to have a look, today we just came here for shopping." There are so many good things, and it's impossible to pick them all up into his bowl.

Chu Yanyan nodded upon hearing this. The two were ready to go out for a walk.

The old man next to him was really anxious now. As he has been in touch with antiques for decades, he has seen all kinds of leaks. He has seen quite a few of them himself.

At this moment, he really wants to know that the Buddha head has

What a secret.

It doesn't matter how precious the things inside are, it's like gambling with stones, which makes people curious. His intuition told him that there should be something wrong with the Buddha head.

"Young boy! What's the secret in your Buddha's head? I've seen it several times, and I'm sure it's made of plaster! 100 yuan is not much, but it's very strange."

Zhou Xiaochuan turned his head when he heard this.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was nothing, and the other party was also an antique player, so the feeling of picking up a leak in the hands of a colleague was quite refreshing.

Although he is cheating.

Then he smiled and said: "It's nothing, there should be something inside! Can you smash it here? Don't dirty the store."

The old man said indifferently: "It's okay, the shop is mine! Just smash it!"

Zhou Xiaochuan froze for a moment when he heard the words, then smiled, put the thing on the ground, and tapped it lightly a few times.

The Buddha head made of gypsum was originally brittle, and the surface cracked directly, revealing a thing wrapped in cotton inside.

The cotton was covered with gypsum flakes.

When it was peeled off to reveal the contents inside, the old man suddenly exclaimed. "Kuifeng jade bottle"
