Future Optical Brain System

Chapter 16
Making a decision immediately, Chen Dong took a taxi and told the driver to go to Yunzhou Antique City.

In the car, Chen Dong had a rough idea of ​​what gift to choose to give Mr. Tang. First, it would be best to give Mr. Tang a calligraphy and painting. Painter, please be more interested in calligraphy and painting.

Second, it is best to limit the price to around a few thousand yuan. With limited financial resources, the money on the body is less than 1 yuan, and you cannot afford tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of expensive calligraphy and paintings.

An hour later, Chen Dong arrived at Yunzhou Antique City by car.

Yunzhou Antique City is located on Damuqiao Road, Zhaojiabang Road, Xu/Hui District, Dinghai. It was formerly known as Dinghai Taiyuan Road Post and Coin Antique Market, which has a long history of 30 years.

There are nine floors with an operating area of ​​2 square meters. From the basement floor to the eighth floor, there are classical furniture trading, antique artworks, antique collections, philately, coins, and antique boutique trading markets.

In addition to the nine floors, there is an open-air Taobao market with more than 300 free stalls on weekends and holidays.

Today is a weekend holiday, and Chen Dong plans to visit the open-air Taobao market first.

As the saying goes, 'Tagging' is endless fun. Although most people get nothing at the end of the day, there are countless people who enjoy it. Firstly, they can appreciate the fun of 'Tagging', and secondly, they don't want to rely on their own luck. Examples of planting fakes and finding a rare treasure among a pile of shoddy antiques often happened in the past. Now as more and more people enter this industry, and the sellers are more sophisticated than the buyers, so There are very few examples of picking up big leaks.

"Young man, I have a blue and white plate, do you want to see it?" Chen Dong was walking on the street, when suddenly, an old man stopped him at the corner and said to Chen Dong.

Anyway, it’s just wandering around, so it’s okay to take a look. Chen Dong stopped and looked at the old man. The old man was holding a cloth bag with strands of strands in his hand. Looking at the outline, it was a plate, about the size of a pot lid, with a pocket around his waist. There is also a dry pipe, a towel tied on his head, and liberation shoes on his feet. He looks like a farmer in the 60s and 70s.

Chen Dong asked the old man where he was from.

The old man said to Chen Dong, "Shanxi Anxi people."

Shanshan Province is a good place. Although all kinds of backwardness in modern times, the country has proposed a western development plan to improve the backward economy and living standards in the west, but it is a well-known place in history. The ancient capital of 16 dynasties, Han, The Tang Dynasty established its capital here. When it comes to the current Anxi City, many people may not know it, but when it comes to the ancient capital Chang'an and the Qin capital Xianyang, everyone knows it and is very famous.

"Where did your blue and white plate come from?" Chen Dong asked the old man.

The old man replied, "I dug this blue and white plate when I was farming in my own land. I knew it was a good thing as soon as I saw it. If my son didn't have enough money to go to college, I wouldn't be willing to sell it. So, you Take a look first, if the price is right, I can sell you at a lower price." After speaking, he handed the plate to Chen Dong.

"Don't." Chen Dong didn't take the plate, and said to the old man, "Put it on the ground first."

It is impossible for people in the antique circle not to know this. Valuables, especially fragile porcelain, will not be handed directly to the other party, but placed on a stable table, waiting for the other party to take it. In this way, whoever breaks it Whose responsibility is it.

From this point, it can be seen that either the old man is an outsider, or the old man is uneasy and well-intentioned, deliberately holding a fake porcelain, and when the other party picks it up, he deliberately lets it go without waiting for the other party to hold it firmly. The porcelain fell to the ground and broke, so as to blackmail the other party. One stroke, this kind of example is the same as Pengci.

If this is the case, you have to be careful. Newcomers who are new to the antique circle are easy to be tricked by others. When they see that the other party is dressed in rustic clothes, like an old farmer, they believe it. Believe it or not, Shanshan Anxi was the ancient capital of [-] dynasties, there were not a few princes and nobles who were buried, farmers in Shanshan often dug up the funeral objects in their tombs in their own fields, and then heard how miserable the story was, The buyer sympathized with it, and believed it twice, and finally lost his subjective judgment during the appraisal, so that the liar was punished.

Chen Dong picked up the plate and saw that the workmanship of the blue and white plate was good, the painter was very active, and the materials were very particular. No matter from the carcass, painting, decoration, and shape of the vessel, they all conformed to the characteristics of the Jingtai blue and white plate of the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, it's a good thing." The old man said to Chen Dong, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"I'm not sure." Chen Dong said, and put the blue and white plate on the ground.

"Not sure" is a panacea-like rhetoric in the antique circle. If the level is not enough, if you can't identify the authenticity of the antique, you can say that you can't see it. If the level is enough, you can say that the artifact is fake. Yes, save some face for the seller, so we can meet again in the future.

This blue and white plate has two obvious flaws. First, the story of the old man is not true. Judging from the inscription on the blue and white plate, it is a piece of porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. The utensils of the Han and Tang Dynasties and those before the Han and Tang Dynasties that were buried with the princes and nobles of the Han and Tang Dynasties, could it be that the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty also traveled through time.

Second, the most important inscription is wrong, "Daming Jingtai year system". Most Tibetan friends who have played with porcelain know that the inscription of Jingtai blue and white does not fall on the center of the vessel but moves to the bottom of the vessel. Made in Taiping", "Taiping", "made in the next year" and so on.Jingtai blue and white did not see any official kiln wares with year marks.

Only then did the old man know that he had met an expert. At first he looked like a college student with limited identification knowledge and insufficient social experience, so he was easy to deceive, but now he saw that the other party picked up things and identified the authenticity with just one glance. Yep, touch Shang Xingjia, since the other party has saved face for himself, if he continues to talk, he will be asking for trouble, pick up the blue and white plate, turn around and leave without saying a word.

Chen Dong also felt very disappointed that he encountered this kind of thing when he came here today without looking at anything.

Sometimes people are not only judged by their appearance, this person looks like a simple rural old man, but he can deceive people one after another, and he will fall into the trap if he is not careful.

However, Chen Dong is not without gains. He found that the optical brain can identify the authenticity of antiques. When he picked up the blue and white plate just now, the watch on his wrist vibrated slightly, reminding whether to identify the blue and white plate, it needs to consume a little points. .

Chen Dong chose No, the authenticity of this blue and white plate can be verified at a glance, it is not worth wasting 1 point.

Next, Chen Dong went shopping all morning and found nothing. Seeing that it was noon, he was a little hungry, so he went out of Antique Street and found a random restaurant to fill his stomach.The dish is braised carp, plus a bowl of seaweed egg soup, the braised carp tastes really good, no wonder so many people eat in this restaurant at noon.

After eating, when he passed by the door suddenly, he saw that the corner of the restaurant was already crowded with people. This aroused Chen Dong's curiosity. About 25 or 6 years old, a pale young man was sitting in front of a table, and there was a porcelain stove in front of him. It was the porcelain in front of the young man that caught Chen Dong's attention.
