Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Previously, Wang Liang said that on the 29th, "Mou Yu Zhi Men" would hold an open audition at the Antique City in X City District to appraise treasures for citizens.

On that day, early in the morning, after breakfast, he drove to City X.

(Originally, Yi Xiaoyue wanted to go, but she gave up because she thought there would be a lot of people there. If they went, Wu Qi and Wu Ming would definitely go with them.

There were too many people, and they felt it was not a good idea to bring their children to such an event.)

Thinking that there would be no parking space due to the large number of people, he found a parking space a mile away and parked his car there.

On the way to the antique city, he would occasionally see people carrying things in their bags or handbags.

Those are likely to be items that need to be appraised by relevant experts.

"Boss Wu, I see you come here empty-handed. Didn't you bring anything for identification?"

As I was walking, a familiar voice came from behind. It was the fat man Zhang Liu, the one who often left his trouser zipper open.

Wu Yuansheng looked back at him and found that he was holding an old canvas handbag in his hand, which was bulging with things.

"No, I know my stuff well, I don't need an expert to identify it."

Most of the people who came here for appraisal today were laymen who didn’t know much about the subject. Their items were either passed down from their family members or purchased from others.

It is impossible to judge the value or authenticity of the items, so I took this opportunity to ask an expert to take a look.

Of course, there are also experts who bring things here. They bring valuable items from their home collections for appraisal, hoping to use this opportunity to let more people know about them, and even better if they can sell them at the same time.

"You're right. Some time ago, I bought a blue and white porcelain jar, but I'm not sure if it's real or not. Since there's this event, I'll ask an expert to help me check it out today."

Zhang Liu said this, and it seemed that what was in his old canvas handbag was a blue and white porcelain jar.

"Really? It's from the official kiln?"

Wu Yuansheng asked with some curiosity.

"It's not from an official kiln, it's a fine product from a folk kiln, take a look."

He paused after he finished speaking and put his bag on the ground.

I opened the bag and the jar was revealed.

It is a "General Jar" with lotus flowers painted on the surface. There is only the jar and no lid. It may be that the lid has been lost over a long time.

Wu Yuansheng picked it up and looked at it, especially the bottom. Based on his many years of experience in picking up porcelain pieces, he knew that the jar was real.

While they were watching, another acquaintance came over. It was a barbarian. He didn't bring anything with him and also came to watch the fun.

"This jar looks pretty good. Whose is it? Do you want to sell it? If so, let's negotiate the price."

Yu Laosan also took the jar in his hand, looked at it, and said to them.

"It's mine! I'm not selling it. I just want an expert to help me take a look and give me an estimate of the price."

Zhang Liu glanced at Manzi, and after he put the jar away, he zipped up his old canvas handbag.

Then the three of them walked towards the antique city together.

When they arrived, they found that quite a few people came to appraise treasures today. Although it was only 7:30, the area near the appraisal platform was already full of people.

Treasure appraisal includes several categories: porcelain, jade, miscellaneous bronze coins, calligraphy and paintings.

Some people have already lined up according to the category they want to be identified.

Among these people, he saw some who looked familiar, and some of them often visited antique shops in various places in the city.

There were a few people he knew, and he simply greeted them all.

Today is Saturday. In addition to the shops, there are also street vendors in the antique city.

Because he arrived early, only 9:, and the experts came to appraise the treasures starting at o'clock, he started by browsing the stalls.

Maybe they thought there would be a lot of people coming here because there is an event today, so there are quite a few street stalls.

Some people who came with others to appraise treasures but did not appraise treasures themselves also started to browse the stalls or antique shops.

"Boss, your wood looks very special. What kind of wood is it?"

Wu Yuansheng was walking to a street stall when he heard a young man about 20 years old pointing at a piece of wood and asking the owner of the stall next to him.

My spouse is a middle-aged man in his 50s.

The wood is about 40 cm high and 25 cm in diameter, but it is not complete. It looks like it has been split from top to bottom, and only half of it remains.

There are cracks in special places, and some parts look like they have been burned and are black.

"Young man, this is lightning-struck wood, it's very rare!"

The stall owner looked at him and said.

"Lightning-struck wood? I've heard of it in novels. It's said to be able to ward off evil spirits, calm the mind and soothe the spirit. This is the first time I've seen it in real life. How much is it?"

Knowing that it was lightning-struck wood, a young man in his 20s became very interested and asked about its price.

After the boss said it was lightning-struck wood, people around who heard this "noun" also looked over curiously.

What was originally a rotten, black piece of wood that no one cared about has now become the "focus" of many people's attention.

"This is not cheap. Such a big piece would cost at least 5 yuan."

The stall owner was a man who was good at observing people's expressions and found that many people were interested. After thinking about it, he said a price that he thought was "reasonable".

"5 yuan! I can't afford it, even though it's great!"

The young man thought about it, looked a little regretful, looked at it a few more times, took a few photos with his mobile phone and left.

"Boss, how can you be sure it is lightning-struck wood?"

Not long after, someone who was watching nearby asked again.

"Of course I know. I found it deep in the mountains. It was nearly 2 meters long before. After I came back, I felt it was inconvenient to carry, so I cut it into several pieces with a saw.

A few have been sold, and there are only three left. I brought one here today."

"If you say so, and the price is so high, I will go to the mountains to look for this kind of wood someday. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to find two and make a fortune."

The boss said that, and someone laughed.

"No one will buy it for 5 yuan. If you say 500 yuan, I think people will consider it."

Although people who come here are very interested in "lightning-struck wood", they will not be fools when it comes to actually paying for it.

"Boss, isn't there a treasure appraisal event today? Take it to an expert later and let them estimate its value. It might be worth more than 5."

Someone else said to the stall owner.

“The appraisal fee is 200 yuan, and the queue is very long, but I don’t have the time.

The 5 I mentioned before was the price I offered. If you really want it, you can bargain. Business is all about negotiation and discussion."

The stall owner felt that everyone's attitude changed very quickly, and it was not like what he had seen before, that no one was being taken advantage of.

"You said I could bargain, so I offered 300. If someone offers more, I won't take it!"

A man in his forties said.

"I'll pay 400."

"I'll pay 450."

"I'll pay 500."
