The Chaotian Palace antique market is still very big. Pei Miao has been shopping here for more than an hour, but he hasn't encountered any chance to pick up the leaks. Shrewd, one person who buys antiques has better eyesight than the other, even if there is a leak, it would have been picked up long ago, Pei Miao can only hate himself for being born late, if it was more than 20 years ago, it would be much easier to pick up the leak.

Pei Miao was feeling depressed, and came to a stall area again. This is a stall area that specializes in selling porcelain. Next to it is the flower and bird area. The reason why the antique market in Chaotian Palace is called large-scale is because the management is very good. Category, divided into many areas, such as woodware area, jade area, miscellaneous area, cultural play area, porcelain area, etc. Those who want to buy certain types of objects can just go to that area directly, which is very user-friendly .

Pei Miao walked slowly in the porcelain stall area, his eyes wandering around the stalls, suddenly, a row of blue and white porcelain on a stall caught his gaze.

Pei Miao walked slowly to the stall, knelt down, and stared at some of his blue and white porcelain pieces.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties with a pea-sized mole on his forehead. He looked up and saw that Pei Miao was so young, and thought he was so foolish. The pieces are all porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, the goods were just received last night, and new ones arrived this morning."

Pei Miao asked, "Can I get started?"

"Yes, of course."

Pei Miao picked up the five pieces of porcelain one by one to check, and of course used the power of his right hand.

Blue and white porcelain is the mainstream of porcelain, with beautiful enamel and color, high collection value and large appreciation space, and is very popular among collectors. It can be said that blue and white porcelain not only occupies the mainstream position in porcelain, even in the entire antique industry, Also mainstream.

It is precisely because blue and white porcelain is so popular that there are countless fakes of blue and white porcelain. Among the blue and white porcelain on the market, there may not be one in a thousand. It is a test to choose the real one from countless fakes. The eyesight and experience of collectors.

The reason why Pei Miao was attracted by these five pieces of blue and white porcelain was because he discovered through the ability of his eyes that these five pieces of blue and white porcelain were all objects from the early and middle period of the Qing Dynasty. The other four are all from the Jiaqing period.

After observing through the ability of his right hand, Pei Miao was a little excited. He didn't expect that these five pieces of blue and white porcelain were all from official kilns, but they just made a fake bottom to cover the real bottom, so that the original bottom was covered. As soon as it comes, you can't see the money stamp at the bottom.

The biggest characteristic of official kiln porcelain is that there is a seal on the bottom. For example, the bottom of the porcelain in the Yongzheng period should have a six-character seal of "Yongzheng Year of the Great Qing Dynasty", which is basically the ID card of the official kiln.

But the seals of these five blue-and-white porcelains were all covered by false bottoms, which was equivalent to losing their ID cards. In the eyes of others, they were folk kilns. No matter how good the workmanship was, they were also folk kilns imitating official kilns.

"How about it, are they all good things?" The stall owner asked with a smile.

Pei Miao said: "In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the folk kilns imitating the official kilns are also called good things?"

The stall owner was taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't expect Pei Miao to have such a good eye despite his young age. He knew the origin of the five blue and white porcelain after just looking at them for a while. As far as these are concerned, it’s pretty good. Although it’s a folk imitation official kiln, you can see how similar the imitation is. You can see how upright the tire quality is, without repairing the tire, and how crisp the design and color are. It’s exactly the same as the good Zhejiang materials. If there is a stamp on the bottom of the bottle, saying it is an official kiln, who would dare to question it..."

Pei Miao nodded: "I think these five blue and white porcelains are all okay, if the price is right, I'll take them all."

The stall owner was very pleasantly surprised when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "That's really great, I haven't opened yet today, if you really want it, five of them will be counted together, a total of... 50."

Pei Miao frowned when she heard this, and looked at the boss with displeasure: "Are you beating local tyrants?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "Then tell me a price."

"One thousand." Pei Miao quoted the price and added, "Five."

The stall owner stared and exclaimed, "This is robbery!"

Pei Miao said: "I sincerely help you open your business, but you want to treat me as a winner and kill me, then I can only kill you."

The stall owner was dumbfounded when he heard the words, and said: "Well, we are all knowledgeable people, and we won't fix those fake ones. Count the five together, 20."

Pei Miao said lightly, "Five thousand."

The stall owner said depressedly: "Handsome guy, you are not sincere."

Pei Miao raised her eyebrows: "I didn't see how sincere you are. You still want to kill me. Where is the trust between people?"

The stall owner thought for a while, and said, "Then you can quote, and quote a real price!"

Pei Miao said, "Five together, fifty thousand."

The boss said: "15, you take all five."

Pei Miao said: "Our quotations are getting closer and closer. I will bid the last time. If you still don't agree, I will turn around and leave. My final quotation is [-] yuan. You must know that even the blue and white porcelain of the official kiln in the late Qing Dynasty, How much is it, the collection value is low, this is an unchangeable fact, not to mention the folk kiln, if the craftsmanship of these five pieces of porcelain is not bad, it is impossible for me to pay this price."

The boss sighed helplessly when he heard the words, knowing that it was impossible to kill Pei Miao, he could only say: "Okay, [-] is [-]."

Pei Miao immediately scanned the QR code to pay, and then put the five blue and white porcelains back into the paper box, and stuffed sponge around the porcelains to prevent bumps.

He definitely couldn't get rid of the five cartons, so he could only call Shulong and ask him to get a car to carry them.

It's not far from Shulong's shop. A few minutes later, Shulong arrived, driving a Great Wall pickup. Pei Miao and Shulong moved all the blue and white porcelain into the car, and Pei Miao said to Shulong: " These five blue and white porcelains are not allowed to be sold, we will talk about them when I go back."

"Oh." Shu Long nodded and asked Pei Miao, "Aren't you going back with me?"

Pei Miao said: "No, I still have to shop around, remember, no selling is allowed, you know."

"Understood." Shulong responded, got into the car, lit the ignition, and drove away.

Pei Miao continued to browse the antique market.

The grasshopper cage and the blue-and-white porcelain just now were picked up from street stalls, and Pei Miao became more interested in street stalls. Thinking about it carefully, although there are few real things in street stalls, the level of people who set up stalls is generally not high. In this way, On the stalls, it is easy to have secret castings of pearls. As long as he meets them, can't he miss them.

As soon as he thought of this, he went to the antique stalls, maybe he could find treasures from the trash.

The ideal is full, but the reality is a bit miserable. Pei Miao walked around for more than half an hour, and all he saw were fakes and modern handicrafts, and he didn't see even half of the antiques.

He was not convinced, and when he was about to continue shopping, the phone rang, and it was Shulong calling. Pei Miao answered the phone, and Shulong's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Pei Miao, someone wants to buy your golden grasshopper. Grasshopper cage, and the blue and white porcelain you just bought."

Pei Miao said: "Blue and white porcelain is not for sale, you can just ask for a price for the grasshopper cage."

Shulong seemed to chat with the guest for a few words, and then said: "Pei Miao, I am willing to pay 20 yuan for your five blue and white porcelain."

"Don't sell it!" Pei Miao said loudly, "Listen clearly, don't sell it. If you dare to sell it, I'll go back and smash all the things in your store. Just wait, I'll be right back!"

After finishing speaking, Pei Miao hung up the phone and ran all the way to Shulong's antique shop.

Pei Miao felt that some experts must have gone to the Shulong store to look at things, and the five blue and white porcelains were hidden by the fake bottom, but it would be difficult to hide from the eyes of the experts.

Pei Miao ran all the way to Shulong's shop, and when she entered the shop, she was stunned. She saw Shulong sitting at the table, drinking tea with two customers, one of whom Pei Miao knew was Geng Congyun, a master jade carver.

Geng Congyun also saw Pei Miao, got up and asked in surprise, "Pei Miao?"

Shulong asked in surprise, "You know each other?"

Geng Congyun laughed and said, "Yesterday we met once."

Shulong said happily after hearing the words: "Since we know each other, it will be easy, Pei Miao, it is Mr. Geng and Mr. Fan Wenhai who want to buy your grasshopper cage and blue and white porcelain."

At this time, the middle-aged man who came with Geng Congyun got up and walked to Pei Miao, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, smiled and introduced himself: "Hello, I am the president of Jinling Antiques Association, Fan Wenhai."

"Hello." Pei Miao nodded with a smile, didn't say anything, but turned to look at the counter, and saw five blue and white porcelains he newly bought were laid out in a row on the counter.

Fan Wenhai said: "I like these five blue and white porcelains of yours very much. If you want to buy them, please make a price."

Pei Miao smiled and said, "Five total 600 million."

"600 million?" Shulong and Geng Lao both cried out in shock when they heard the words, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Fan Wenhai did not scream, but a gleam flashed in his eyes, he knew that it was hopeless for him to find out.

Shulong approached Pei Miao and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? These are all Qing Dynasty folk kilns imitating official kilns. Why are you asking for prices?"

Pei Miao said: "No matter how imitated the folk kiln is, it is impossible to imitate the blue and white porcelain that is exactly the same as the official kiln. These five are all authentic Qing Dynasty official kiln blue and white porcelain."

Fan Wenhai smiled lightly when he heard the words, and said: "It seems that your eyesight is very good, and you have seen through the secrets of these five pieces of porcelain. I apologize for the act of trying to pick up the leak just now."

"It's okay." Pei Miao also smiled lightly, and said, "I also got it by picking up leaks. Which antique lover doesn't want to pick up leaks. Besides saving money, picking up leaks is also a proof of one's strength. pleasure."

This sentence reached Fan Wenhai's heart, Fan Wenhai gave him a thumbs up, and praised him happily: "A fellow!"
