Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

Chapter 144 Birdcage at the Morning Market

After walking and walking, we soon arrived at the county where Yang Xuan was located. Since we passed by, we must pay a visit.

Yang Xuan is a pretty good person, and he often contacts Ding Mao on the phone. In addition, if there are suitable goods, Ding Mao really wants to buy some more.

Here, what Ding Mao buys the most is coins. Of course, he also bought a few pieces of porcelain this time.

It seems that Yang Xuan was also very lucky during this period. He received some high-quality porcelain from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, but not the works of those super masters.

In addition, Ding Mao also bought some good imitation items from him. This was something they had communicated in advance on the phone and was entrusted by Ding Mao to help him get it.

Ding Mao made these considerations from several aspects, one is to make a learning tool, the other is to prepare for emergencies, and the third is that they can probably be used when exchanging goods!

People like Shang Liancheng and others are not afraid of things being fake, but they are afraid of things being of insufficient quality.

And in their eyes, fakes are the only way to make money, but they are more interested in such high-quality fakes.

For customers like Ding Mao who spend a lot of money every time they come here, Yang Xuan is very kind and responds to their requests within his ability, in order to maintain a long-term beneficial relationship.

After leaving Yang Xuan, Ding Mao and the others set out on the road to receive goods again.

They were resting in a certain county town that day. After all, it was windy, sunny, and dusty, and there were girls in the team.

So every few days, they would rush to the county or city to find a more comfortable environment to rest and wash away the fatigue of the past few days!

Ding Mao has always had the habit of getting up early for morning exercises. Today, when everyone was still asleep, he got dressed early, walked out of the hotel and jogged to a nearby park.

Life is getting better and better, and many people pay more attention to health and fitness.

Therefore, there are many people doing morning exercises in the park, doing Tai Chi, walking, practicing calligraphy in the open space, playing shuttlecock, etc.

After Ding Mao simply jogged to warm up, he borrowed equipment to do some stretching, and then did some simple pull-ups, sit-ups and other basic muscle strength exercises.

"The young man is in good physical condition!"

Seeing that Ding Mao was doing pull-ups according to the standard, and that he did many pull-ups without showing signs of fatigue, the old man on the side praised him heartily!

"Thank you for the compliment, uncle. Your physical fitness and mental state are also very good. I can see that you insist on exercising every day!"

After finishing a set of pull-ups, Ding Mao also chatted with the old man with a smile!

"Is your health the capital? Your accent doesn't sound like the locals?"

"Well, we are here from out of town to collect some old things from the past. We are passing by your place, so let's take a rest here!"

"Oh, you ran away at such a young age! Your parents are willing to let you go!"

Ding Mao smiled calmly and said, "The more you endure hardship when you are young, the more happiness you will have in the future. By the way, sir, let me ask you where is the morning market here?"

The old man agreed with Ding Mao's point of view, and then told Ding Mao the location of the morning market.

The reason why Ding Mao inquired about the morning market was that he wanted to find a different way to receive the goods today. From ancient times to the present, except for those landlords, old wealthy people, local tyrants and squires, there were still more good goods in the city.

So he planned to collect the goods in this county today, go to the morning market to set up a stall in the morning, and then set up a stall at the entrance of an old community to collect the goods. If the effect was not good, he would go to the streets and alleys to collect the goods.

After being told by the old man, I also found out that there was indeed a separate section in the morning market that specialized in selling flowers, birds and second-hand goods.

So Ding Mao hurried back to the hotel, called everyone up, and prepared to go to the morning market to collect the goods.

And the time is just right now, when people are just starting to come in, maybe we can get different results!

When I came to the morning market, I found that everything was sold here. In addition to vegetables and fruits, there was also a special section selling flowers, birds, fish, insects, cats, dogs, pets, books, etc. There were even many selling some unused items at home!

After finding a suitable place to park the car, Ding Mao asked Ding Xian and Ding Hong to place advertisements for receiving goods in different locations.

And he was going to take a stroll, maybe he could find something unexpected!

Starting from one end, Ding Mao was attracted by the sound of two people discussing at a small stall after just a few steps.

"I'm telling you, young man, don't be too expensive. Do you know what this wood used to be called?"

The person who spoke was obviously the owner of the cargo. He was very old, tall and thin, with a slightly proud expression, and he was carrying a bird cage in his hand!

The person looking at the goods was a man of medium build, in his 30s, and wearing glasses for myopia.

"what is it call?"

Hearing the man ask this, the old man looked even more arrogant, so he started talking!

"This is called red sandalwood, also called Qinglong wood. In the Qing Dynasty, it was a thing exclusively used by the royal family. Anyone who dares to use this thing is equivalent to treason and will be beheaded, so you should know how valuable this thing is, right?"

The man obviously didn't listen to the old man's deception and asked instead: "You just said it was left by the older generation of your family. If you didn't let it be used before, how did it get into the hands of the older generation of your family!"

After hearing this, Ding Mao was also curious about what the old man should answer next!

"Later, what I said was that it was not allowed to be used in the Qing Dynasty, but it was allowed to be used in the Republic of China!"

Oh, Yuan is really back!

However, although what the old man said is an exaggeration, Qinglong wood was indeed called the wood of emperors in the past. It has always been a wood reserved for royal families and nobles in ancient times.

The bird cage in the old man's hand is indeed made of red sandalwood, and judging from the bird food jar inside, it should be from the Qing Dynasty, but it does not rule out the possibility of the Republic of China. Maybe the bird food jar was purchased separately!

Ding Mao could only roughly tell the age of wood, whether it was old or new or whether it was wood. He couldn't tell the age, but he could still tell the age of porcelain!

The man's thinking was very clear and was not affected by the old man's words at all.

"It's useless for you to tell me that. This is because my old man likes to walk birds. Otherwise, who would care about this thing? Anyway, I will give you up to 80 yuan, so you can see if it sells?"

The old man's face immediately became unwilling.

"This hook is sprinkled with gold and silver. I can't sell it at this price. If you sincerely want me to give you another bite, the minimum price is 350 yuan! If you still think it's expensive, you can try it again!"

The man was still unmoved and said: "You can't use gold or silver. It's not pure gold. I'll give you another 20 yuan. If it doesn't work, I'll buy it somewhere else! There's more over there." It’s for sale!”

However, the old man said categorically: "Then you go somewhere else first, I can't sell this!"

I don’t know if the man is always there or if he is deliberately lowering the price, but the man really just walks away!

The old man looked at the man's leaving figure, but did not stop him and allowed him to leave!
