antique masters in modern times

The broken porcelain slices cut Yanyou's two arms exposed outside the vest, accompanied by bursts of tingling pain, blood dripped down.

Yan You didn't care to inspect the wound, and when he fell down, his sharp eyes immediately fell to the place where he was standing just now.

The force that pushed him was very strong, it was definitely not an accidental touch, but a deliberate one!

But who would do that?Originally, Yanyou was silent and honest, and hadn't been out of society yet, so it was impossible for him to have enemies.Could it be the Immortal Dance set up by the counterfeit stall owner?

No, it's not possible.The scammer should look for a rich man, but his clothes are shabby, and he looks like a poor ghost.

In an instant, many thoughts ran through Yanyou's mind.His mind wasn't idle, his eyes didn't fall down, and he immediately locked on a thin man with a stooped body and squeezed into the crowd.It's just that the back was very slippery, and disappeared in the crowd in a blink of an eye, Yan You couldn't catch up in time, so he had to think about where he got into trouble.

Yan You couldn't see his face, he could only see the thin and gray hair around his bald head, he must be quite old.Yan You felt that this figure looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.

While contemplating, a heartbroken cry suddenly came from my ear: "My darlings! How could this happen?! All the old objects passed down from generation to generation by my ancestors have been confessed today! My Song Dynasty Official kiln printing box! My Yuan Dynasty blue and white vase! My Tang Sancai! My Ming Dynasty actor figurines! My—”

The stall owner yelled out the names of a long list of precious porcelain, and finally reached out and grabbed Yan You's vest belt: "Boy, you have to pay me!"

Being yelled at by him, Yan You had no choice but to temporarily stop thinking: "Boss, I won't run away. Let go first, let's get up and talk."

"Hmph!" Seeing that this is a thin boy with slender arms and long legs, he must not be as strong as an adult like himself, so the stall owner let go of his hand and stared at him, calculating how much oil and water he could squeeze out of this poor-looking boy. .No money at home?It doesn't matter, listening to his Beijing dialect, he must be a native of Sijiu City.Who doesn't have three relatives at home?A family loan is enough compensation!

Carefully avoiding the debris, Yan You stood up.After checking that there was no bronze or other metals in the pile of debris, he was slightly relieved: in this way, he would not have to worry about contracting the extremely difficult-to-cure tetanus.

While sweeping his gaze, he also estimated the amount of damaged porcelain, and asked, "Boss, I damaged 83 pieces of your porcelain just now, what do you think should be done?"

"What should I do? Of course I have to lose money!" The stall owner only pretended to be Yanyou and said casually, but he couldn't help counting the rest of the items.Just after finishing the order, I felt a chill in my heart: This kid actually reported everything well!How did he do that?Could it be a hidden master?

There are many young people with good eyesight in the antique shop, but a sixteen or seventeen-year-old like Yanyou still has a lot of distance from the word "master" in people's minds.This idea was only changed, but was denied by the stall owner: it is a coincidence, it should be just a coincidence.

"Boy, I have family heirlooms here, some from my own family and some from my friends' family. I won't make it difficult for you. Let's quote one by one."

The stall owner seemed to be speaking fairly, and reached out to get a broken horse head: "This piece was secretly brought back by my great-grandfather when he worked as a coolie for foreign devils in Beiman Mountain. I originally wanted to sell it for two hundred yuan. It depends on your age." Little, count you one hundred and eighty."

Hearing this, Yan You turned his head to look at the two people who thought they were picking up the loopholes.The two were still debating whether to make a move. Seeing that the stall was smashed here, they just looked at it in surprise, and then lowered their heads to study the figurines of ladies.

The stall owner thought that Yan You wanted to check the price with them, and was about to speak when he saw him approaching him and said in a low voice: "Boss, I know the origin of these goods. You can set a fair price, or we will break up, you Even that deal can’t be done.”

Seeing that he was confident, the stall owner couldn't help but think of the scene where he accurately reported the number just now.His eyes flickered in doubt for a moment, and finally he sneered and said, "Yo ho, you want to belittle my antiques and just lose some money? Don't blame me for not reminding you, I have been doing business in Panjiayuan for more than three years, do you know me?" Few people, if you don’t want to talk about literature, then let’s come to martial arts.”

He still doesn't believe that a half-grown kid like Yanyou can see something strange, he only thinks that he is using words to deceive himself.These fakes are all fine imitations, and they are sold at [-] to [-] times the price to those fools who are eager to make a fortune, which is very easy to sell.If you sell it to this kid with all your brains, you have to earn at least twenty times to be worthwhile!

Seeing that the stall owner had fallen into the eyes of money, it was obvious that he wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune, so Yan You no longer saved face for him.After taking the fragment of the horse head from the boss, he dug out other parts on the ground, and said loudly: "The white clay used to make Tang Sancai has to go through many times of pounding and washing, so the texture is very delicate. But judging from the broken stubble, This terracotta figurine is extremely rough, with coarse grains. And the color is wrong. Tang Sancai is fired at low temperature and colored with natural materials such as metals and minerals, so it will not fade easily. But this one is obviously colored by pigments, and—— "

As he spoke, he scraped the edge with his nails, and the ocher color fell off, revealing the uneven base.

Yan You shook his head regretfully: "It seems that the antique shop has been suspended for so many years, and even Luoyang's imitation skills have fallen behind. In the past few decades, their imitation of Tang Sancai is much more realistic than this."

As early as when the stall was smashed, some people stopped to watch, wanting to see how the old-fashioned young man would compensate.Seeing that the young man was speaking clearly about the doubts about the fake Tang Sancai, the crowd couldn't help but get bigger and bigger.

After Yanyou finished speaking, some old players immediately laughed knowingly: "No! A few days ago, someone wanted to sell me a porcelain plate from the Qianlong period of the Ming Dynasty as a family heirloom. It is passed down from family to family, and the four old ones were broken first. It was more than half of it, and then the great famine smashed pots and sold iron and sold the hidden ones at the bottom of the box. Where did ordinary people get so many family heirlooms! People joked that Qianlong was sent to the Ming Dynasty."

Amidst the roar of laughter, the man who had finally made up his mind to pay for it was immediately stunned.Glancing at the stall owner and then at the crowd, he finally said to Yan You hesitantly, "Little brother, can I ask you to palm your eyes?"

Yan You smiled lightly and shook his head, pointing at the residue on the ground: "I haven't settled my account yet, I really don't have time."

His refusal actually saved the stall owner the last face.But the other party didn't appreciate it, and said blushingly, "Nagging so much, and saying that I'm selling fakes, is nothing more than trying to lose less money! I thought you were pitiful, so I said it would be less for you. Now let's calculate according to the market price! These things are [-] yuan in total, if you don't pay enough money today, you don't want to walk out of Panjiayuan's door!"

Most of the people nowadays are poor, and those who are the first batch of people who boldly go to sea to do business and can save tens of thousands or nearly 5 can be honored as ten thousand yuan households. [-] yuan is really an astronomical sum.

There was a silence in the crowd, and the drumming became louder.People ridiculed that the face of the stall owner was bigger than the pot, and such a stall was worth fifty thousand, so wouldn't a shop in the garden be worth hundreds of thousands?Ganqing Panjiayuan is full of ten thousand households.

Let's talk about it, but no one is willing to stand up for Yanyou and suppress the stall owner.Firstly, Yanyou is a new face, and no one knows him; secondly, after all, he was the one who made mistakes first, and he was blackmailed, so he can only sigh bad luck.

Most of the people who do business are two-faced, and the stall owner is even more outstanding.Seeing that everyone was just ridiculing and not meddling in other people's business, he became even more arrogant: "Boy, quickly lose money!"

"I don't have that much money." Yan You spread his hands, "Is it okay to pay for the goods?"

"Losing money?" The stall owner thought that Yanyou was going to buy a batch of high-quality imitations to return him, but he agreed: "I don't want anything else! I just want my family heirlooms! If you can restore them to perfection, I don't want you to lose money !"

How can a half-sized child be repaired?Moreover, the secret art of restoration has been lost for a long time, even if the best master in the garden comes, it will not be perfect.After all, this kid is going to lose money!

I don't want to, the voice just fell, but Yan You laughed: "It's a deal!"

He already had some fragments in his hand, so he sat cross-legged on the ground and fiddled with them a few times, and the terracotta figurine, which had been broken into more than a dozen pieces, stood firmly on the ground again.At first glance, there is no trace of chipping at all!

"My God, is this magic?"

Exclamations erupted in the crowd, and those who were close even squatted or lay down, looking at the pottery figurine carefully, regardless of their posture.Some people took out the magnifying glass that they carried with them and inspected it inch by inch, trying to find the cracks, but in the end they found nothing.

At this moment, even the owner of the stall looked at Yan You in disbelief: Just random patchwork can restore the broken pottery figurines to such an extent, what kind of craftsmanship is this?The fairy art in the Legend of Zhiguai is nothing more than this!

Facing everyone's amazed eyes, Yan You explained: "It has just been broken, and the fibers on the edge of the fragments have not been lost, so it can be put together intact. But it needs to be glued with special glue, otherwise——"

Following the words, Yan You stretched out his hand to touch somewhere, and the horse turned into a pile of fragments again and fell into his palm: "As long as I fix them, I don't need to lose money, right?"

People were still dazed by Yan You's stunt, but when they heard the word money, the stall owner suddenly woke up and repented loudly: "No, I don't want you to recover, I want you to lose money!"

After repairing, it is still a bunch of worthless imitations, but the compensation can earn twenty times.Any fool knows how to choose!

Seeing him blatantly denying it, he vomited in front of his face, and even the other acquainted stall owners nearby couldn't stand it anymore: A bunch of fakes are asking for sky-high prices, do you think everyone else is a fool?

Having this idea in mind, an older female stall owner couldn't help but said: "Harmony makes money, since you promised him, don't go back on your word."

"That's right, besides, who's family can afford [-] yuan these days?"

"If you really want to get it out, I won't be afraid of you. Let the little brother repair it, and pay a little lost work fee, that's fine."

Faced with the persuasion of his peers, the stall owner rolled his eyes and said eccentrically: "There is nothing to be afraid of if you don't get enough for a while, let him make a written statement and calculate the interest to pay me back year by year, and in which year the debt will be paid off!"

As he said that, seeing the crowd clamoring again, he put his hips on his hips and cursed loudly: "It's only right and proper to pay for damages! Who is so reckless and pays for this kid with his own pocket! What kind of a man are you just shouting there!"

It has to be said that he did account for a bit of nonsense.With this roar, the movement in the crowd immediately decreased a lot.

The stall owner looked around the audience in satisfaction, and finally looked away, only to realize that the two lady figurines who had been photographed before had been taken advantage of, put down their things and slipped away at some point.Thinking of making less money, he became even more angry, waving his fingers wildly, and almost quickly touched the tip of Yan You's nose: "It's all your fault for talking nonsense! This thing is also yours!"

Yan You despises this villain who is greedy for money and shameless, who regrets face to face.He pushed his hand away disdainfully, and was about to speak when he heard a clear and smiling voice from the crowd: "It's so lively, I can't even walk because of the traffic jam. Anyway, in order to evacuate the traffic, I'll pay him back the money." .”
