Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

Ye Chuan then agreed, "Boss, you are right. This is indeed the best one in my eyes." He then proposed, "How about 200 Hong Kong dollars?" The boss held up two fingers.

What surprised Ye Chuan was that the offer was quite realistic. He had thought it would be at least five or six hundred Hong Kong dollars.

When he noticed that he was silent, the boss added, “Sir, this is my lowest price.

I can see that you are a connoisseur of goods, so I set the price at HK$200. If it were a foreigner, he would not be able to take it away even if he paid 200 US dollars less. "

Ye Chuan agreed with the boss's statement. He nodded and took out two hundred Hong Kong dollars from his pocket. He handed it over without hesitation and stood up to take Hu Yanni away. "Hu Yanni, isn't this telescope nice?" Even though she didn't usually go to antique stalls, she knew that there was a lot of room for bargaining in these occasions. Ye Chuan spent a lot of money, which made her feel novel. "Well, this is a British-made telescope. It has a history of 120 years and is a work from the 19s.

Although rare, it is truly unique.”

"Great, Ye Chuan," Hu Yanni said coquettishly.

Although she was young, she often discussed emotional matters with her mother. Her mother taught her to praise her lover. Although she didn't understand the reason, she did put it into practice.

Seeing her admiring eyes, Ye Chuan smiled and said, "Let's go all out today!" On the other hand, boss Zhai Wenqiang has been running the old store Ze Bao Xuan on Hollywood Road for many years, and he is busy with his 5 or 6-year-old son. He insists on strictly controlling the quality of the antiques in the store and will not allow any counterfeit.

After busy cleaning the store, he sat on a chair outside the store.

Not far away, in front of a small stall, the sight of a handsome man and beautiful woman caught his attention. The man was handsome and elegant, and the woman was pretty and charming, like a couple from heaven.

Passersby couldn't help but stop and stare at their temperament.

Zhai Wenqiang's interest in the two of them was naturally not in their appearance, but in the man's unique vision.

Among as many as nine monocular telescopes, the man picked out authentic items with collectible value at a glance. Such vision is rare at such an age.

He thought that after buying the telescopes, they might go shopping at the stalls on both sides. After all, they were young people. Although they had outstanding looks and ordinary clothes, they were probably just ordinary white-collar employees.

The shopping experience in a store is completely different from that of a street vendor, and he felt that the two of them would not have enough spending power to spend money in the store.

Just as he was staring, Ye Chuan and Hu Yanni walked into Zebaoxuan chatting and laughing.

Zhai Wenqiang greeted them with a smile, got up from his chair and followed them into the store. "Do you two need anything?" he asked.

Ye Chuan smiled and responded: "Just take a look."

Zhai Wenqiang nodded, but did not go deeper into their activity area. Instead, he observed at the door of the store and let them wander around the store aimlessly.

As soon as Ye Chuan entered the store, his eyes first fell on the mutton-fat jade wine glass with the word "longevity" on it on the cash register.

It has a novel shape and is small in size, about seven or eight centimeters high, but it is exquisitely crafted and inscribed with a poem of blessing, which blends the poetic and picturesque atmosphere into one, demonstrating the craftsman's unique conception and superb engraving skills.

Just as he was concentrating on watching, the system's prompt sounded, bringing 350 energy points.

He thought with a sly delight, isn't this Hollywood Boulevard his personal energy bank? So he pulled Hu Yanni to continue watching. The white porcelain gourd bottle next to it was fascinating. It was about 30 centimeters high and had a novel design and exquisite structure. Although it was not made by the official kiln but by folk craftsmanship, its simplicity and roughness were also quite beautiful.

He stared for a moment again, and instantly increased his energy points by 120.

In just one minute, he gained a total of 470 energy points, which surprised him greatly.

After that, he admired the various antiques in the store one by one. Every time he glanced at them, he would be rewarded with a different number of energy points.

The Yuan Dynasty blue and white Fengtou pot has an artistic value of 750; the blue and white text high-foot cup produced in Jingdezhen in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty shows the excellent local firing skills and is worth 660; the underglaze red three fish and flying dragon bowl from the Xuande Imperial Kiln of the Ming Dynasty has a thick and solid body and an energy value of 805; the Doucai grape pattern lidded jar is a new product during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. It was innovated based on the cloisonné technique and circulated among the people because of its defects. It is worth only 100.

---

In just over ten minutes in the store, Ye Chuan had accumulated nearly ten thousand energy points, which seemed like a drop in the ocean to the store owner Zhai Wenqiang. He couldn't even appreciate the details of the store's utensils.

He once regarded his previous good impression of Ye Chuan as a unique vision.

However, after a deeper understanding, he was disappointed with the situation in the store and could not help but shake his head. "Sir, are you dissatisfied with the goods in our store?" Zhai Wenqiang asked in a somewhat stiff tone.

Ye Chuan smiled friendly and replied, "Oh, no, boss, everything in the store is exquisite, why would you be dissatisfied?" His answer obviously did not hide his approval of the store's goods.

Hearing this, Zhai Wenqiang snorted coldly, "Sir, you just took a quick look and identified all the products in the store?" Ye Chuan did not refute, but nodded in acknowledgement, "Yes, so I said that the things in the store are all the best."

Zhai Wenqiang was irritated by this remark. This young man was so bold that he could identify the item accurately after only looking at it for 20 seconds. He simply regarded himself as an expert in this field. "Young man, don't be so arrogant!" Zhai Wenqiang said coldly, and his previous good impression had disappeared completely.

Ye Chuan raised his eyes in confusion and asked, "Boss, what do you mean?"

“Do you dare to say that you can determine the age and authenticity of cultural relics at a glance? I’m afraid there is no such person in Hong Kong.” Zhai Wenqiang retorted bluntly.

Ye Chuan possesses advanced appreciation abilities and relies more on the assistance of the system, so these are a piece of cake for him.

Hearing what his boss said, he was a little annoyed: "I can look at it however I want. Do I have to stare at each thing for 20 minutes? Is this your jurisdiction?"

"Boss, there is nothing absolute in the world. Maybe I have that kind of vision!" Ye Chuan responded with firm belief.

Zhai Wenqiang looked Ye Chuan up and down and couldn't help laughing. "Young man, if you are really capable, you can choose any treasure in our store. I will not hesitate!" He was full of confidence.

Ye Chuan smiled in response and continued, "Everyone in the world is unique, and there is no ultimate limit to anything." These words were very meaningful.

Zhai Wenqiang laughed, and his gentlemanly attitude instantly faded away: "I have been in this business for decades. Every skill was passed down by predecessors. I have never heard of anyone who knows everything just by looking at it once."

"Boss, are you really going to make a bet with me?" Ye Chuan asked directly. "Of course, if you have this level, this Zebaoxuan is yours! I believe in my intuition." Zhai Wenqiang declared confidently.

Ye Chuan shook his head: "I don't want the store. If I win, just allow me to pick any treasure in the store."

"What about the loser?" Zhai Wenqiang's eyes flickered.

Ye Chuan took out a pair of bracelets he had bought from Taobao and showed them to the boss: "If you lose, this pair of Qing Dynasty Hetian jade imperial concubine bracelets will belong to you."

Hearing this, Zhai Wenqiang's eyes lit up. Even though he was not sure whether the Hetian jade was genuine at first glance, judging from the color, it should be not far off. "Deal!" he immediately said.

Hu Yanni pecked him lightly on the cheek and waved her hand to encourage him: "Come on!"

Ye Chuan smiled and let go of the other person, confidently walking towards another item he had chosen earlier. "The Doucai grape pattern lidded jar borrowed the cloisonné technique. Judging from the technique, it should have been made by the imperial porcelain kiln. It's a pity that the finished product has defects and eventually flowed into the folk. In fact, its research value exceeds its collection value." He commented on this antique.

Zhai Wenqiang was stunned when he heard this. When he first took over the jar, he also thought it was a royal product, but the flaws prevented him from confirming it.

Ye Chuan's suggestion made him suddenly enlightened.

Ye Chuan asked, "Am I right?" with an expectant look in his eyes.

Zhai Wenqiang nodded affirmatively: "Indeed." In his response, there was no displeasure at guessing wrong, and his mood was obviously more open.

Ye Chuan was secretly pleased and satisfied. He was more sensible than he had expected and was a man who could afford to lose.

He pointed to an object in front of him: "A blue and white pine, bamboo and plum three-ram bowl. The pine symbolizes the male yang, the bamboo symbolizes the female yang, and the plum blossom symbolizes the harmony between husband and wife. The three rams represent the overlapping of three yangs. It is a product of Jingdezhen during the Zhengde period!" He was undoubtedly familiar with the knowledge.

Hearing this, Zhai Wenqiang was deeply shocked, as this Three Sheep Bowl was not something he was familiar with.

With just one glance, the young man was able to not only determine the age but also interpret the meaning. His depth of knowledge is admirable.

As Ye Chuan talked about this, he was about to face a new test. "The colorful cloud and phoenix pattern bottle, if I am not mistaken, it was made during the Wanli period.

The multicolored craftsmanship during the Wanli period was already quite sophisticated, and was more colorful and pleasing to the eye than that during the Jiajing period.

But unfortunately, this phoenix-patterned vase is not an openwork work.

If it is a vase with cloud-carved phoenix pattern, it will surely become a treasure of this street! "Zhai Wenqiang said in surprise: "What are you talking about? Can such a vase be made with openwork?"

Ye Chuan nodded: "Indeed, but the hollow phoenix-patterned vase is the treasure of the museum in the capital." Zhai Wenqiang muttered in a low voice: "One day, I must go and see it with my own eyes."

Ye Chuan ignored his words and continued to explain: "The eggplant skin red willow leaf vase is a representative red glaze product from the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

Its red color is elegant and moist, just like the bean red color of wisteria, so it is also called eggplant skin red. "

He took a closer look and continued, "But this willow leaf bottle has some flaws, otherwise it would really be a unique treasure in your store.

The eggplant red firing technique was a flash in the pan, appearing only in the late Kangxi period, which is really a pity! "

Just as he was about to talk for a while longer, Zhai Wenqiang interrupted his explanation and said, “Sir, there is no need to continue.

I admit that I lost! You are really a rare expert who can see the true appearance of an object with just one glance! "Ye Chuan's performance convinced Boss Zhai.

When they reached the edge of the porcelain counter, Hu Yanni came to him again and gave him a look that said "I knew you could do it."
