Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 48 The gilded bronze Buddha with canopy!

From Lin Ran's point of view, he still had to make two preparations at the moment.

On the one hand, we are trying to find ways to leverage our strength, but on the other hand, making money is the king!

After all, money is the courage of a hero!

It was about his family. Lin Ran couldn't sleep well all night, for fear that something would go wrong.

The hatred for that pockmarked Zhang in my heart became even stronger!

Your family is your own backbone!

Although he had previously comforted his mother and sister by saying that he knew the owner of the antique shop and that there were people in both black and white circles, that was just a story he made up casually to comfort them.

If you want to solve it completely, you still have to start from the root cause.

As soon as he closed his eyes, what appeared in his mind was the lost look of his sister and mother, which became an inexhaustible motivation in Lin Ran's heart.

……

Early the next morning, at dawn, before her mother and sister got up, Lin Ran had already dressed and walked out.

Lin Wanjun heard the noise, quickly put on her clothes and got out of bed, and saw that he had opened the door and left.

"Xiao Ran, where are you going so early and I will cook for you first?"

"No need, sister, I'll be back as soon as I go."

After comforting his sister for a few words, Lin Ran waved his hand and disappeared from the door.

It is not easy to raise 2 yuan in half a month.

The only way is to use the knowledge I have learned before to find some antiques and sell them out as soon as possible.

There are specialties in the art, and if you want to pick up leaks on a large scale, the place with the highest probability is the antique market.

So Lin Ran planned to go to Liulichang, a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, to try his luck first!

You know, today's rich people are mostly interested in literary entertainment and take pride in being arty.

As demand increases, the market naturally develops rapidly.

In addition, this is at the foot of the capital city, where antique cities, auction houses, and antique markets are everywhere.

Liulichang and Panjiayuan have transformed into places favored by many Taobao shoppers.

Although the place is full of mud and sand, to me, isn't it just a boss with full-level magic equipment attacking the novice village?

……

After getting off the rickshaw and looking at the bustling trading stalls in front of him, Lin Ran was filled with hope.

The streets are lined with stalls selling everything.

Only you can't think of it, without you can't see it.

These small vendors arranged their stalls neatly, like cut tofu cubes. One by one, they squatted there or sat there, guarding the three-thirds of an acre of land in front of them.

Everyone's stall is full of things, old and new.

It ranges from the so-called ancient Chinese period to the "Western Zhou" bronzes produced just last week.

The most outrageous thing is that even "antiques" such as the Xuanyuan Sword and the Shennong Cauldron are dangling on the stall, waiting for those who are destined to take the bait.

“It’s a really fun place.”

Seeing the dazzling array of things around him, Lin Ran felt a little happy.

This place is precisely because it is too messy, so many people with status do not want to come here.

This is precisely the case, so many real treasures remain unnoticed, which also provides a certain possibility of missing out.

Most of the people who come here to set up stalls are not professionals, and they all rely on their mouths to fool customers.

Lin Ran was really sure about this, so he came to try his luck.

Along the way, what rang in my ears were the shouts of the small vendors.

"This little brother, come and take a look at my place. I have good products here."

"Qing Dynasty handpieces, limited quantity, first come, first served."

"This is the only ceramic from the Ming Dynasty."

Hearing these hawkings, Lin Ran only felt a little funny.

They couldn't tell what kind of things were unearthed in what era, but they still had the nerve to shout loudly.

Anyone who knows anything will probably laugh out loud when they hear these words.

He came to a stall, picked up a jade ring and looked at it.

The color is green to black, and the overall texture is too smooth, but there is something wrong with the weight.

If a normal jasper ring is this size, it will be heavy and have a sense of weight.

But the one in my hand is more like glass-filled.

"Brother, how are you? Are you interested?"

"If you want, the price is negotiable."

When the little vendor saw that someone was interested in the thumb ring, he thought that another victim had been taken advantage of.

Lin Ran shook his head and put it down directly.

"No need for now, thank you."

After saying that, he put it down without any connection.

Looking at Lin Ran's young appearance, the vendor was a little dissatisfied.

"If you can't afford it, you just can't afford it, and you dare to say that my quality is not good."

"Bah, at first glance, he looks like a stupid young man who doesn't understand anything."

Listening to the hawker's sarcasm, Lin Ran was in no mood to argue with such a person, so he shook his head and continued walking forward.

After all, antiques are not just cabbage on the street. If you want to pick them up, luck and strength are both indispensable!

Along the way, his eyes never stopped, wandering around, for fear that he would accidentally miss something.

After all, this is his only way to break the situation!

But along the way, what I saw were either imitations or worthless gadgets from the late Qing Dynasty. There was not much profit margin at all.

Seeing that he was about to reach the end, Lin Ran felt a little unmotivated.

Could it be that my trip today was in vain?

Just when Lin Ran was about to turn around, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a 22-centimeter-tall bronze Buddha statue came into view.

Lin Ran couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

His intuition told him that this thing was good!

Holding back the excitement in my heart, I approached the stall and picked it up to take a look, and I felt a sudden sense of enlightenment!

I saw that this Buddha statue has a square face, a peaceful face, straight hair, a sitting posture, and a small size. If I am not mistaken, the Buddha statue in my hand is from the Han and Sixteen Kingdoms periods.

There is a horizontal oval light behind the head, a bun on the top of the head, slightly engaged eyes, larger ears, a mustache on the upper lip, piercing the shoulder cassock, the right hand applying the fearless seal, the left hand holding a fist, the Buddha's robe hanging down in the lotus position like "u" "Shape, wrapped around the wrist and hanging in front of the foot.

You should know that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, five Buddha statues were unearthed, all of which were gold and bronze Buddha statues.

This is one of them, called the Huagai gilt bronze Buddha statue.

This kind of Buddha statues were used in palaces, temples, and other places; its appearance began in the Han Dynasty, became popular in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and continued to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

A movable Buddha statue made of copper or bronze with a gold surface, commonly known as a "gold bronze Buddha statue".

At present, some extremely high-quality imitation bronze Buddha statues often appear on antique stalls all over the country, making it difficult for collectors to tell the authenticity.

You must have very sophisticated experience or use professional tools to distinguish it.

After careful identification, I found that every detail of the Buddha statue in my hand was in place, and the craftsmanship and carvings of the era were accurate.

Holding it tightly in his hands, Lin Ran was shocked. This was definitely a genuine gilded bronze Buddha statue with a canopy!
