Chapter 140 Getting rich!

"Tell me if you have something to do." The old man felt that this apprentice had a bad mind today.

"Master, I am your apprentice, right? You will pass on these things to me sooner or later. Why not give me a few now, such as this bronze ware and these two blue and white porcelain." Li Wenkai opened the master's wooden box and searched again. There were really a lot of old antiques. Needless to say, these must be authentic.

Find two identical vases.

I must have thought of antiques for a long time. Why did I get the big flower sunflower back and forth with my hard work? It’s so dull and not worth it.

What kind of authentic blue and white porcelain is a few tens of millions when you go back one by one.

Li Wenkai became more and more excited the more he thought about it.

Li Wenkai doesn’t understand the antique. He has been following the master for a while and can’t tell what era this is.

The vase has a milky white background. A plum blossom stretched over from a snow-covered wall. The bright red plum blossoms were blooming in front of the snow. A little yellow dog shrank and lay on the left side of the door.

The two bottles have the same style, except that one is on the left side of the gate and the other is on the right side of the gate.

"This is the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, and this is the only thing passed down from my ancestors."

When Li Wenkai heard the master say the ancestral inheritance, he said oh, carefully put it back and locked the wooden box, "Then I can't ask for it." Li Wenkai said.

"Don't worry, the things are yours sooner or later. I'll pass them to you when I leave." said the master.

"Master, that's not what I mean." Li Wenkai was afraid that the master would misunderstand him, "I was thinking... uh, Master, can we go out to buy some valuable antiques? My family is also big now, and I want to put some things to pretend."

"What's wrong with this? Aren't you very rich? You can't ask for a few dollars. Now let's leave." The master picked up his beloved radio and walked out.

"Now?" Li Wenkai was speechless. Don't be so anxious. I'm just saying, can we do another day?

"It's the most suitable now. It's the Chinese New Year. Now there are usually good things to change, so everyone can celebrate the Chinese New Year." said the master.

"That's right, then where are we going?"

"Panjiayuan."

Panjiayuan Fresh Goods Market is located southwest of Panjiayuan Bridge on the Third Ring South Road, Yanjing.

It is divided into street stall areas, ancient building areas, classical furniture areas, snow collection areas, stone carving areas, and other types. It mainly deals in old items.

Li Wenkai rode his motorcycle and his master to his destination.

At this time, Panjiayuan was not as standard as in 2020. There were street stalls under the eaves of the shops on both sides of the street. Of course, there were also professional antique stores in the shops on both sides, many of which were state-owned stores.

At this time, the country lacks foreign exchange. Many state-owned antique stores have many antiques specially sold to the outside world. These antiques sold can only be sold with permission from relevant state departments. Only with foreign exchange can they be purchased and sold.

It was already dark, there were no street lights, and it was still snowing. Some stalls on the street stalls had lit kerosene lamps, and from a distance, there were stars.

Antique porcelain and jade ventilated the vicissitudes of time under the dim kerosene lamp, waiting to be discovered.

The current antique collection is not as hot as it has been after 2020. It can be said that it is the off-season. Now people can’t even solve the problem of food and clothing. How can they have this spare money to watch these things? In the eyes of ordinary people, eating a full meal is the most important thing.

"Master, where are we going?" Li Wenkai stopped the motorcycle and looked at the master sitting behind the car and asked.

"Today I mainly bring you here to practice collecting things and seeing your fate. Just look at these street stalls. Don't talk or ask the price. Look more. There are rules in the industry. If you ask for the price, once the stall owner agrees, you have to buy it. You can't regret it, and you can't say in front of the stall owner that other people's things are fakes. This is a taboo." The master knew that his apprentice was an outsider and didn't understand some of the rules in the industry, so he raised some of the questions.

"Okay, I'll just bring a pair of hands and eyes today. Master, if you encounter something good later, please help me buy it. Do you think it's okay?" Li Wenkai and the master walked. Li Wenkai pushed the master's old tricycle and looked at the dazzling array of antiques on both sides, revealing a fiery gaze.

"I can tell you about the scope and I can help you negotiate the price." said the master.

"Your apprentice has 200 yuan and some overseas exchange coupons," Li Wenkai told his master about his family's background.

It was the Chinese New Year, and Li Wenkai wanted to withdraw 200 yuan from the bank and specially used it to buy things.

The master doesn't know much about his apprentice, but the old man doesn't want to know too much, so who doesn't have a secret yet?

"It can't be that much."

"For porcelain, if you collect it now, the most expensive one is the porcelain from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. There are mainly five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty."

"The five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty refer to Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, and Ding. Although the Ding kiln was ranked last, it was the earliest. In terms of time, it was the eldest brother among the five, ranking last. It may be that the emperor at that time did not like the white. Ding kiln was the earliest, and it began to be made in the early Northern Song Dynasty or even in the Five Dynasties. Ding kiln belongs to white porcelain, and Ru Guan, Ge Jun is both celadon." The master looked at the street stalls and popularized the knowledge of Song porcelain with his apprentice.

"Yes." Li Wenkai listened and remembered.

In order to further explain what he said, the master and apprentice stopped in front of a street stall. The master picked up a wide-mouth celadon bowl with both hands and approached the kerosene lamp and introduced: "See, this is the Ru kiln washing in the Song Dynasty. The crab claw pattern, incense ash body, and the sky blue glaze is one of its charms. Like the official kiln, there are cracks. Although both Ru kiln and the official kiln are cracks, there are also differences between the two. The latter is brighter than the former, that is, the layer of glaze on the outside of the official kiln is thinner and brighter than the Ru kiln, and the color is brighter..." The master introduced Li Wenkai with a wide-mouth bowl.

Li Wenkai said while listening: "It's indeed an imperial kiln. This color is brighter. This color looks brighter than Ru kiln. It is worthy of being a royal customization." Li Wenkai said.

Li Wenkai took his hand into his bag, took out the flashlight from the space and handed it to the master.

When the stall owner heard this, he looked up at Li Wenkai and glanced at Li Wenkai with a look of a rookie, without saying a word.

When the master heard his apprentice's words, he frowned and said, "What are you saying? This official kiln is not that official kiln. The official kiln here refers to the official kiln, one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, and refers to the name of a kiln factory rather than the imperial kiln porcelain produced by the imperial kiln factory in the Ming and Qing dynasties." The master said speechlessly.

"What, it's not an official kiln factory?" Li Wenkai asked.

"no!"

It seems that it’s better to say less, especially in front of the seller, it would be strange if you don’t kill you if you say that you are not slaughtering me.

"This bowl is so big. It seems that our ancestors like to use big bowls for dinner. There is a saying that they drink big bowls and eat meat with big mouthfuls." Li Wenkai looked at the wide mouthful bowl under the kerosene lamp and sighed that the ancients' appetite was really not very large.

"Nonsense, this is washing, not dishes!" The master said with a look at his layman's apprentice, feeling embarrassed.

"Uh, Master, I'm wrong again? What's the difference between this bowl and washing...?" Li Wenkai was angry when he saw the master, and looked like a primary school student who had done something wrong and looked at the teacher.

"The difference is big. First of all, in terms of function, this washing is mainly used by the ancients as a brush to wash. The so-called brush washing means that when the ancients finished writing characters with a brush, the washing was much larger than the bowl and the mouth was larger. In terms of the shape of the vessel, there were round, square, and polygonal petals..." said the master.

"Oh." Li Wenkai saw the stall owner looking at him and nodded to the other party with a little embarrassed look.

The master and Li Wenkai made some contributions, looked at the stall owner, and stretched out his hand.

The other party also stood up and stretched out his hand. The two covered their palms with their sleeves.

Just shaking hands, why do you need to cover them, fearing that others will not be able to see your jade hands?

Li Wenkai said in his heart that, but with the previous lesson, Li Wenkai didn't speak and looked at the two of them.

The master said, "Brother, we sincerely want to buy it, you can offer a price."

"This number." The stall owner said.

"No, it's too expensive, this number."

"Uncle, you're too ruthless in price. I'm just a small business and don't make a lot of money. If you want it sincerely, this number."

When Li Wenkai saw the two of them talking with their sleeves, he didn't know how much it was. He whispered to the master: "Master, we have overseas remittance vouchers."

The other party heard this and his eyes lit up, but he quickly covered it up and pretended to be insignificant and said, "If there is a foreign exchange coupon, then it will be a little less, this number." The stall owner said to Master Li Wenkai.

...

After some bargaining, the two of them finally took back their hands. The master looked at Li Wenkai and said, "It's done."

"Master, how much?" Li Wenkai whispered and asked.

"10 yuan remittance coupon."

"Uh..." Li Wenkai was choked.

Don't have money?
