America’s Treasure King - vChapter 44

After the Qingming Festival, it was a rare day without rain, and Lao Li, who came from out of town, set up his antique stall again today.

For outsiders like them, they need to rent a house, eat and drink, and spend money every day. For him, as long as it is not raining, he will spread out and earn a few.

Sitting at home without a single income and having to spend money out of my own pocket is really painful.

Most of the indigenous families in eastern Zhejiang are wealthy. There are many small factories in this town alone. There are many rich people and many people who like antiques. As far as he knows, there are many collectors in the town. They also organize Collectors Association.

However, people are smart these days, and they will not be alone in any business. This also attracted a lot of people like him to set up stalls in the town, and the competition was fierce!

Another advantage of setting up a stall here is that there is no stall fee, and no one collects taxes, which can save Lao Li a lot of money.

Somehow, this morning, he didn’t have a business, but a bowl of noodles at noon cost him a full ten yuan.

Although he sells antiques, he also knows that most of the items on the booth are imitations, which he bought from a specialized wholesale market.

I received very little, even if there were, they were all cheap goods for twenty or thirty yuan.

In the distance, three young men, a woman, a man, and three young men approached him. For today’s first order of business, Lao Li began to shout vigorously: “Take a look, take a look, Yongxuan’s porcelain, Qing Dynasty Buddha statues, Qi Baishi’s calligraphy and painting are all there.”

As if attracted by his shouting, the three young men stopped in front of his booth. This is a potential customer, and Lao Li is very happy. He secretly said in his heart that he did not open for three years when he was doing antiques, and he opened to eat for three years.

This is a joke about opening an antique shop in the past. It means that even if the antique shop has every single business for three years, it doesn’t matter. As long as a fat sheep is caught and slaughtered, it is enough to make up for the shortfall of these three years. much more.

Old Li smiled and said, “Look at it sir, these are old antiques.”

A dark-skinned guy sneered and said, how old is he? I’m afraid the china is still hot, right?

It was Luo Yang who was talking, and he meant that your porcelain was just taken out of the porcelain kiln, and it is still hot now, how come you are old.

“Oh, you are an expert.” Instead of being angry, Old Li was even happier.

He likes this kind of person, because he doesn’t know anything about antiques, no matter how much he fools people, he doesn’t like it, it’s like saying nothing. Only those who like antiques will stand in front of his booth.

Judging by the fact that this kid is only in his twenties, it is estimated that he is also half-baked, and he is the best deceiver.

“Then take a look at these pieces, this flower pot, and this pastel jar, which I collected from the old house, Bao Lao!”

“Well, how do you sell this flower pot?” It was Li Xiaoshuai who spoke, and he took a fancy to the blue and white flower pot recommended by the boss.

This blue and white square flowerpot can be about eight inches in diameter, and a small piece has been cut from the four corners, and the top and bottom are full of patterns.

Old Li pointed to the flower pot: “You can set a price, and I will sell it to you when it suits you.”

The words are very polite, and the guests are asked to bid first. In fact, there are business tips here.

If Li Xiaoshuai’s price is high, he can just slaughter the fat sheep. If the price is low, he can still negotiate the price. The left and right bosses are not at a loss.

“I want to buy this flower pot to grow flowers, it’s 50 yuan.”

When Luo Yang saw that Li Xiaoshuai had really bargained, he became anxious, “Do you really want to buy it?”

In his opinion, this thing is completely fake, just look enough.

This is already the fourth antique stall that the three cousins ​​and younger siblings visited, and the first two Li Xiaoshuai didn’t say a word.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the flowerpot on the booth. At first glance, it seemed to be from a Qianlong folk kiln. At second glance, it seemed to be imitation of the Republic of China. At third glance, he thought it was a new imitation.

He wanted to see what was underneath, and he brought the flowerpot upside-down, but he only saw the hole for water leakage in the flowerpot, and the bottom plate was white with nothing.

Luo Yang felt a problem in his heart, wondering if this flower pot is real or fake?

He couldn’t even tell himself.

I saw the stall owner angrily saying that this flower pot is definitely an old antique, at least 3,000, and it will not sell any less!

Li Xiaoshuai asked with a smile, please tell me why this flower pot is worth 3,000, do you have the certificate of expert appraisal?

Old Li Xin said, “Why is it worth 3,000, that’s the price I randomly offered, the purpose is to slaughter you, but if you want to say that you are ugly, I can’t say it.”

There is also an expert’s appraisal certificate. That thing costs 3,000 to go in and out. When I bought this flower pot, it only cost 20. I was so full that I went for the appraisal.

“Please believe me, this flower pot is absolutely real, Bao Lao!”

Luo Yang said, who are you, what you say is true, are you an expert?

Old Li was still not angry, he said with a smile, then subtract 1,000, 2,000; enough friends.

Li Xiaoshuai: “Tell me the real price.”

“One thousand, minus two thousand, I am sincere.”

Xia He said that there is still water, and if you squeeze it again, it will soon reach 100.

Lao Li said with a smile, 100 is absolutely not enough, you have to let me earn a few. Well, the lowest price is 800. I will never sell it if it is less~www.mtlnovel.com~ Luo Yang saw Li Xiaoshuai’s repeated counter-offers and knew that he was interested in this flowerpot, but he still felt that this thing he Not really.

But according to Li Xiaoshuai’s eyesight, this thing should be true. Forget it, a few hundred bucks doesn’t matter, and I will ask a few experts in the town to identify it together at night to see if it’s true or not.

In the end, this flower pot was bought by Li Xiaoshuai for 500 yuan.

The stall owner, Lao Li, looked at the shadows of the three young people, and his heart blossomed with joy. He earned a full 480 yuan, enough for half a month’s living expenses.

He also thought that after closing the stall tonight, he must cut half a catty of pork head meat to comfort himself. If he does not stall today, the income will be gone.

On the way to another booth, Luo Yang asked Li Xiaoshuai, “Are you sure this is the genuine Qianlong folk kiln?”

“Cousin, let me tell you some inside information. I received a small tea cup from a Chenghua official kiln. It was taken away by Mr. Ai at the end of last year. If you say it was from a Qianlong folk kiln, I can still read it wrong.”

“Chenghua is the official kiln.” Luo Yang’s legs softened and he almost fell. Heart said: “Boy, you are amazing!”

Li Xiaoshuai stopped again and said, don’t spread the word about this, so as not to cause trouble for me.

Xia He asked, it should be to help you become famous, why is there trouble?

Li Xiaoshuai said that it is not uncommon for me to be famous in this place. If I am famous, someone will come to me for appraisal, so I should not play.

At the next booth, Li Xiaoshuai’s luck was even better. He actually spent a mere 400 soft sister coins and received a pair of white copper paperweights from the early Ming Dynasty.

Luo Yang took photos of the two things and sent them to the collection group, which was well received by the group friends. Many people said that just looking at the photos was biased, and they even arranged to visit his house at night to see for themselves.
