Liu Yihang made a direct comparison.

"Two thousand? Too little! This is a real bloodstone." The vendor said excitedly.

Liu Yihang looked at him with a half-smile: "Two hundred!"

The vendor's exaggerated expression said: "Two hundred, you're kidding me."

Liu Yihang thought to himself, these fakes of yours are not even worth 20 yuan. It would be a good idea to give you [-] yuan to leave some room for you.

Although he didn't know how the real stone was mixed in, he paid it back at the fake price anyway, otherwise it would be called a leak.

The hawker himself knew very well that these things were worthless fakes, and they were sold for a dollar.

"One thousand, no more! Look at this big stone." The vendor said softly,

Liu Yihang saw him hawking pitifully in the cold wind, and for a moment he felt a little unbearable.

It's really not interesting to take someone else's treasure without paying a high price.

"Then five hundred, that's it." Liu Yihang took out 500 yuan from his pocket and handed it to him.

The vendor immediately took the money happily and took out a nylon bag to help him put the soapstone.

"You're good to go, I won't send you off."

Liu Yihang picked up his things and was about to leave. He turned around and saw the young man who bought the jade bowl before.

"Uncle, thank you." The tall man was very excited when he saw him and quickly thanked him.

It would be better if he wasn't called uncle.

Liu Yihang wore a mask, a dog-skin hat, and the standard military coat worn by middle-aged people, so he was regarded as an uncle.

He didn't explain, and nodded in agreement.

"Uncle, you are a master. Can you teach us some secrets?" the short man said.

"Young man, there is no shortcut to this antique business. Just pay the tuition first.

However, I think it is recommended that you two, it is better not to take action. It’s just a few thousand dollars, otherwise you will be deceived and your underpants will be left. Liu Yihang said in a deliberately lowered voice.

These two people are also standard villains.

"We get it." The tall man smiled awkwardly and added, "Our school has to hand in practical homework and choose an antique. Can you help us take a look? If I don't ask you to help in vain, I will treat you to dinner."

He has a pretty good attitude, but he's quite silly.

It was obvious to me that it was real, so why should he let him take advantage of it? Can’t I make money by buying it myself? Who still lacks money for that meal?

If he said this to others, they would laugh out loud, that is to say, he would meet Liu Yihang.

He looked at the sky and said casually: "Okay, what do you want to choose?"

"No matter what, as long as it's true!" the short man said quickly.

"Then you are cheating!"

"It doesn't count. I think many students have found knowledgeable people at home who can help." The tall man just walked around and found that many students were accompanied by knowledgeable people, but they were both young.

"Then let's go!" The school did not say that foreign aid cannot be hired. In fact, it is really difficult for freshman students to hand in a perfect answer sheet.

Liu Yihang took the lead and walked a few steps before he stopped at an old lady's stall.

"Old man, why are you still setting up a stall in such a cold weather?"

"Whatever you can do, it's all about making a living. These are all good things collected from the countryside. If you like them, I'll give them a cheaper price for you." The old lady was in good spirits.

"okay."

Liu Yihang knelt down and looked at it carefully. This old lady was quite honest. The things on her stall were of various categories. It was very messy, including pots and pans, cups and plates, boxes, abacus, writing brushes, everything. , it really looks like it was collected from the village.

His two followers also squatted down quickly and looked pretending.

Liu Yihang stopped because he fell in love with an old-fashioned abacus.

It looked pitch black, with black patina all over it, and a few beads falling off. It couldn't be more ordinary.

However, Liu Yihang discovered through clairvoyance that the inside of it was actually made of old mahogany, and there was a base stamp on it. It looked like the workmanship of a famous artist.

Moreover, its style is that of a typical Ming and Qing Dynasty abacus. The beams have wooden tenons and rounded corners, and are equipped with drawer bottoms and iron wall-mounted beams on the beams. This is also an obvious feature of that period.

Most of the abacus in the Ming and Qing dynasties were made of old mahogany, which also confirms this point.

This abacus has no nails or paint on the whole body. It is completely connected with wooden tenons. It is more valuable than ordinary abacus from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Generally speaking, for collecting wooden abacus, products made of rosewood, mahogany and rosewood are the best.

Abacus from before the Qing Dynasty are now very rare, and it is not easy for them to be handed down to this day. Although a few beads have fallen off and their value has been greatly reduced, they are still worth some money.

This is not the only valuable thing in this old woman's stall.

The box under her butt that served as a stool, if he read it correctly, should be part of a dowry set.

In the past, when wealthy families married their daughters, they would prepare a dowry for their daughter, and this dowry was one of them.

The box that the old lady used as a stool was somewhat similar to the mirror box from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but the parts were missing, and because it had lost its luster over time, it looked dull and dull, and was regarded as an ordinary wooden box.

This is also considered an antique.

China's dowry culture has a long history. The mirror case and dowry culture are a pair of natural twins, and they are also an important connotation of dowry culture. The mirror case is commonly known as the dressing box.

This is a mirror dowry.

Of course, there are some small things in her stall that can be considered old items, but the most valuable ones are these two.

After Liu Yihang read it, he calmly picked up a small gourd and held it in his hand.

"How do you sell this gourd?"

The old lady glanced at it and said, "Three yuan."

Liu Yihang simply left the money, got up and left.

The two quickly followed.

"Master, is this gourd a treasure?"

The tall man looked at the small gourd in his hand suspiciously.

"No. However, I have seen two good things. Whether you can get them and at what price depends on your own abilities. Don't expect me to do everything." Liu Yihang didn't owe them anything. On the contrary, he helped They did it twice.

It's okay to give some advice, but forget about taking care of everything.

"what is this?"

The two of them had just looked around, but neither saw anything that showed signs of antiques.

In other words, in the antique industry, people with knowledge make money from people without knowledge.

"I'll just say it once. The first thing is the box that was used as a stool under the old lady's butt.

The second item is the abacus on the stall.

Each of you is one person at a time, each according to his ability. Now that you have said this, take your leave. "

The two of them looked at Liu Yihang's back with suspicious expressions, feeling a little unsure.

"Do you think he deliberately lied to us?" said the short man.

"Probably not. Spending time to lie to us won't do him any good." The tall man said dubiously.

"Maybe he and the old lady are in the same group?" The short man was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

"No matter, let's go and ask first." The tall man walked over first.
