Chapter 66 Tianbaoxuan
When he arrived at a quaint building, he stopped the car. Mr. Li and his few people walked slowly in and walked past the gatehouse. Fang You looked up and saw that Tianhai Antique City, several powerful and powerful characters in Kaiyi jumped up.
"Haha, there is Tianbaoxuan in front of you. From the literal perspective, we can know that the owner of this store thinks that his treasures are all in heaven and it is rare to see them in the world. In fact, if it weren't for the event he held, his antique shop would have been closed long ago." Pointing to the front, Mr. Li smiled and explained to everyone all the information about Tianbaoxuan.
Wang Hao scratched his head and was puzzled, "Old Li, I can accept the promotion of discounts and rewards in this supermarket mall, but what activities can this antique shop that has been open for half a year? Could it be that one get one get one free?"
Old Li smiled and shook his head, and said mysteriously: "You will know when you enter Tianbaoxuan. Now you have to keep it secret, hehe."
Wang Hao muttered a few words with some discomfort, followed Mr. Li and headed towards Tianbaoxuan.
Fang You was also a little surprised when he heard Mr. Li's words. Some antique shops he knew were a little tricked every day, and they would eat for half a year. So he was not worried about the antique shop's business. There were always a collector who bought a few items every month.
What other activities are actually being held by the antique shop that Mr. Li mentioned, which really made Fang You a little curious and inevitably became interested in this so-called activity.
In addition to shops everywhere, the antique city was full of stalls. You could hear some shouts from Song Guan Kiln, Tang Sancai, and Fang You even heard the sound of selling jade seals in the imperial palace. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Damn, how valuable antiques are, how bold people are, if they were in the feudal dynasty, these jade seals would have been killed by the whole family."
Although the things on the street stalls are simple and fragmented, most of them are imitation, there are also some old experts who are trying their luck in it.
"Haha, Fatty Liu, I'll come to see you." When Mr. Li stepped into an antique building, he greeted him with a smile.
A fat man in Tang suit suddenly rushed out of the counter and bowed to Mr. Li in surprise, "Oh, it turns out that Mr. Li is visiting Tianbaoxuan. If you don't want to welcome him, please sit down."
Fatty Liu brought Mr. Li and Fang You to a quaint table, took out a cup, filled it with tea, and put a cup in front of everyone.
"I said Liu Haitao, Liu Dafa, you won't give me some good products. Not only do you drink the worst, but you also use it as a fake. All your good things are kept for burial, right?" He picked up the teacup and saw that Mr. Li complained with dissatisfaction.
Liu Haitao looked surprised and pointed to the teacup in Mr. Li's hand and said, "Mr. Li, this is not a good product. It is a famous utensil from Ge Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. The tea brewed here is the Dahongpao that I have treasured for many years."
Mr. Li smiled and didn't say anything. Wang Hao looked at the teacup with his eyes shining. This Ge Kiln is one of the five famous kilns in China, and it is valuable.
Liu Jingjing looked confused and didn't know what Ge Kiln represented. Ye Yuqing looked surprised and looked at the teacup with suspicious eyes.
After gently tapping the teacup, Fang You made a conclusion on the teacup. After facing Jun Kiln but didn't know you, he asked Mr. Chu to make up for him the knowledge of the five famous kilns in China. If he couldn't even recognize the five famous kilns, he still hoped that others would say you were in the circle.
"The porcelain sound of Ge Kiln is clear, with a generous and upright shape, and a soft and smooth outline. The porcelain sound of this teacup is dull. Although the shape of Ge Kiln is the shape, the overall shape gives a dull and crude feeling. With these two things alone, it is enough to show that the imitation of these porcelains is not very good." Fang You smiled and pointed to the teacup and said leisurely.
Liu Haitao looked at Fang You with a surprised look and gave a thumbs up, "I didn't expect to meet an expert today, but he is still a young expert. Mr. Li, don't introduce the identities of these people."
"Haha, Xiaoyou Fang is indeed knowledgeable and talented. Fatty Liu, it's fine if you fool the laymen with these porcelains, but we also fool them. You are from Song Ge Kiln. This Xiaoyou Fang can even see Chen Feiyang's Yuan blue and white porcelain, and you are not as good as your imitation." Old Li snorted and said to Fatty Liu with gloating.
Even if the antique industry is a broken toilet, it must have been used by the Empress Dowager Lao Fu. Fatty Liu boasted so much that Mr. Li was disdainful to expose him. Unexpectedly, Fang You recognized him at first sight, which weakened Mr. Li's suspicion of Fang You a little.
Antique knowledge is knowledge. What can be used in practice is the experience gained after many times of use. The porcelain sound is clear. If you don’t have experience, some people will not hear the difference between clear and dullness. However, if you play with antiques too much, the sound can be distinguished even if there is a slight difference.
Therefore, entering the antique industry does not require you to have deep knowledge. As long as you have a pair of fiery eyes and two ears with wind are enough.
"It's what you said about the Yuan blue and white porcelain that the boy of the Chen family, whom you always showed off, was discovered by Mr. Chu. Could it be that Mr. Chu did not see through it, but by this young man?" It seemed that he had heard Mr. Li talk about this matter, Fatty Liu said in surprise. Although this boy had seen through his simple teacup, no matter how he looked at this kid, he didn't look like a person who could surpass Mr. Chu.
Mr. Li smiled, "Little Friend Fang, this fat man Liu is not an outsider. He understands the rules of the antique industry, so there is no need to avoid suspicion. Let's talk to us about the process of seeing through the Yuan blue and white porcelain so that we can also increase our knowledge."
"Didn't you say there are any activities in this antique shop? Can't you participate in the event first and then listen to the stories?" After witnessing the whole process with your own eyes, Wang Hao naturally didn't want to waste time listening again, so he began to change the topic.
Fatty Liu was anxious, and patted Wang Hao and said in a very arrogant way: "Young man, don't worry, I'll let you move enough later. Even if the things in this store are given to you for ten or eight pieces, it's okay. Let's finish the story first."
"Really?" Wang Hao's eyes lit up. Looking at the antiques of various shapes in the antique shop, it was all money in his eyes.
Fatty Liu chuckled, "Really, it's more real than Pearl. Brother Fang, hurry up and tell the story."
Hearing Fatty Liu's heroic words, Mr. Li laughed out loud and gave him ten or eight pieces. Fatty Liu is really shameless, just bullying laymen.
Mr. Li's actions made Fang You look around helplessly. Just the things he saw at a glance, there were several items with obvious imitation characteristics, which made Fang You constantly thank Mr. Chu. If it weren't for Mr. Chu's teachings during this period, he would probably be a blind antique.
