Rural Scenery of Rebirth

Along the way, Lei Jun patiently accompanied Xia Chen to look at each family.And from time to time, he pulled Xia Chen who was curiously looking around on the street to prevent him from being hit by passers-by. Everything was done naturally, and Xia Chen seemed to be used to it. However, Xia Chen decided in his heart that if it was true When he finds something good, he tries to get Lei Jun to buy it.

However, it is really a special taste to visit the Antique Street ten years ago again.Unlike ten years later, both sides have been converted into storefronts.Except for the street vendors who come out to resell antiques in the morning market, you can hardly see them at other times.

After visiting a lot of houses, Xia Chen didn't find anything attractive, almost all of them were imitations, but there were two pieces of high-quality imitation porcelain that were considered good. If they had been collected for a few years, they could be sold for a good price , but he is picking it for Lei Jun now, so he naturally hopes to resell it directly after buying it.

A piece of jade that is a little eye-catching has been broken into two pieces. Even if it is repaired by a master in this field, it will not make any money at all.

As expected, the antique market is very deep, and it really takes great eyesight and luck to find an authentic product on a street stall.What's more, you have to bear the risk of being punched by old objects.

Just when Xia Chen was about to give up, he saw a wood carving placed on the stall one meter in front of him. He was overjoyed, but walked over with a very calm face and squatted in front of the stall.

Lei Jun squatted next to Xia Chen.

"Two little brothers, what are you looking at? Needless to say, the items here have a history, but they are all old items." Seeing Xia Chen and Lei Jun squatting in front of the stall, the vendors who set up the stall He hurriedly said hello.

"Let me take a look first." Xia Chen knew that this was the last time to show his flaws in front of the hawker.Naturally, he picked up a piece of porcelain next to the wood carving and looked at it. First, he looked at the surface of the porcelain. It was obviously a modern craftsmanship. Then he touched the bottom with his hand. Xia Chen frowned all of a sudden, and cursed inwardly. The counterfeit technicians are too disrespectful. The glaze on the bottom of this piece of porcelain is not even dry yet.

Seeing Xia Chen frowning suddenly, Lei Jun thought he was not feeling well, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Chen shook his head at Lei Jun, expressing that he was fine. He put down the porcelain and picked up another jade to look at. It was naturally fake. Xia Chen, who studies carefully, is a knowledgeable person.

"Little brother, I still have a few old things that haven't been displayed in my hand, do you want to take a look too?" After Xia Chen finished reading all the things on the stall, without showing any intention of buying, the hawker A little anxious, he hurriedly opened his mouth and said.These old things of his had just been collected from the countryside, and it was a bit late to set up the stall today, so they hadn't been displayed yet. Seeing Xia Chen's appearance, he really wanted to buy them, so he took advantage of the opportunity to show them together.Maybe you can make a business, and you can count it as an opening.

Xia Chen's eyes lit up slightly when he heard that the peddler still had something in his hand.Thinking that these few things have never been displayed before, so they have not been selected by other people. Maybe there are genuine products, so how could he refuse.

Seeing that Xia Chen was so interested in the undisclosed old items from the hawker, Lei Jun also paid attention to them. Although he didn't know how to distinguish the authenticity of these ancient items, he had visited the Antique Street with Xia Chen several times before, and knew that if If you really find the real thing, you can resell it. If you meet someone who likes to collect this kind of antique, you can sell it for a big price.

Xia Chen saw that the peddler took out a few things directly from a sack, including two bronze wares, one jade wares, a simple mirror, and the remaining one was a blue and white porcelain plate.

"Look at it too." Xia Chen directly picked up the jade object and looked at it first. Afraid that Lei Jun would be bored, he turned around and said something to him, and then began to carefully observe the thing in his hand.

Lei Jun was a bit curious at first, and after hearing what Xiaochen said, he chose the last blue and white porcelain plate among the things the vendor took out. The reason why he chose it was because he was attracted by the complicated patterns on it.

When Xia Chen finished reading the previous items, Lei Jun was still looking at them with a blue and white porcelain plate, looking very serious.

Putting down the last piece of copperware in his hand, although these items in the peddler's hand are old things, they are not real, but someone else deliberately made them old, so they can deceive those who are new to this business, but, on that side The quaint mirror is pretty good. If Xia Chen hadn't been exposed to a lot of antiques since he was a child, and he just noticed that there was something wrong with the handle, he might have been tricked.

The peddler originally thought that Xia Chen had taken a fancy to the mirror, but after he put it down without any hesitation, the peddler was not sure, thinking that so many things that people didn't like, it seemed that this business could not be done.

Xia Chen didn't know what the peddler was thinking. Seeing that Lei Jun was still looking at the blue and white porcelain plate, he also leaned over to have a look.

Seeing that Xia Chen was interested, Lei Jun hurriedly passed the blue and white porcelain plate to Xia Chen, and his face was full of smiles when he saw Xia Chen approaching him.It's been a long time since Xiaochen was so concerned about a matter. Ever since Xiaochen's parents passed away, he had been worried. Now that he showed such a focused expression, he was finally relieved.

Xia Chen was not polite to Lei Jun either, and took a closer look at the blue and white porcelain plate. Looking at it, he felt a little happy in his heart, but when he turned to the bottom, he was a little uncertain.

The peddler really didn't want to miss out on today's first order of business. Seeing that Xia Chen looked at the blue-and-white porcelain dish obviously longer than the mirror just now, he hurriedly said, "Little brother, I got this blue-and-white porcelain dish from an old house. When the owner of the house was in the early days, all the people in the family were high-ranking officials. With this in mind, the origin of this blue and white porcelain plate is not low. If you like, I can give you this number." After the hawker finished speaking, he directly gestured with his hands than.

Knowledgeable people in Antique Street generally do not call out the price directly like a layman. The buyer is determined, and the seller will directly give a price, and then quote a lower price for the buyer. If you don’t agree, the seller will shake your head, which means to ask the buyer to add points. If the buyer really doesn’t want to add, he can leave by himself.

The price that the hawker gestured with his hands was obviously too high.

Although Xia Chen felt that the blue and white porcelain plate in his hand was very likely to be real, he would not be taken advantage of. What's more, the blue and white porcelain plate was intended to be bought by Lei Jun, so the lower the price, the better.

Thinking of this, Xia Chen directly compared with the hawker and returned a price.

The peddler immediately became frowning, thought for a while, and gestured again, meaning to ask Xia Chen to add more.

After all, the peddler felt that it was the first business order of the day, and he didn't open his mouth to add too much. Xia Chen agreed to the price in his heart, but he glanced at the wood carving he saw first on the stall, and said directly: "I don't know whether this blue and white porcelain plate is real or not. However, your price is still a bit high. I have to choose something from your stall as a top-notch item. Don't worry, I don't want anything too expensive. I just think you The several woodcarvings on the stand are more unique in shape, so just choose one for me to add to my head." In this case, even if the blue and white porcelain plate caught his eye, the one he valued just now was obviously carved with red sandalwood. Also only earn but not lose.

Although the peddler was a little hesitant, seeing that the business was concluded and he had made a lot of money, the small wood carvings on the stall were only bought from a countryman for a few dollars, so he simply nodded in agreement. , Let Xia Chen choose one by himself.

Xia Chen didn't go to pick up the wood carving that was so important first, but looked at all of them first.I picked up a few other ones and looked at them, and finally chose the one made of rosewood.

Although he didn't know Xiaochen's intentions, Lei Jun was still very cooperative. He squatted quietly beside Xia Chen and didn't speak. He came with Xia Chen a few times. He still knew that when others talked about antiques, he was very Do not disturb others.

The price was negotiated and the items were selected. Before Xia Chen could open his mouth, Lei Jun paid the vendor directly. He knew that Xiao Chen didn't bring any money to go out.

Xia Chen was still thinking about how to persuade Lei Jun, only then did he learn from Lei Jun that he did not bring any money when he went out. He touched the pocket of his clothes and found that besides a house key in his pocket, the phone, wallet, what None of them.

When he was at home yesterday, he didn't seem to see his mobile phone and wallet, and he didn't know where to put them.

"Your wallet and mobile phone are with Uncle Chen." Xia Chen was thinking about where the mobile phone and wallet had gone, and Lei Jun was puzzled.

"Oh." After listening to Lei Jun's words, Xia Chen responded. Since he knew that everything was with Uncle Chen, he didn't think much about it.

The two items cost a total of [-] yuan. At a time when workers’ wages were generally only a few hundred yuan a month, [-] yuan was considered a lot of money.

However, thinking that he would definitely make a lot of money by selling the red sandalwood later, Xia Chen didn't feel sorry for the two hundred yuan that Lei Jun spent.

Now that the things are bought, Xia Chen has no interest in continuing to shop.Lei Jun was worried about Xia Chen's health. Although Uncle Li said that Xiao Chen had recovered a lot, after all, he had only been out of the hospital for a few days, so it was better to pay attention.

Both of them lost the idea of ​​continuing shopping, so they turned around and went back to the shop.

Xia Chen also wanted to sell the red sandalwood in his hand earlier and directly exchange it for money. By the way, he also showed Uncle Chen the blue and white porcelain plate that Lei Jun was holding carefully at the moment.

When the two returned to the store, the customer who came at noon hadn't left yet.

Seeing Xia Chen and Lei Jun walking in with an antique, the guest glanced at it and obviously let out a "huh".
