treasure hunter

Coming out of the entrance of the Antique City, Pei Miao saw Li Xueyang standing there, dressed very coolly, wearing a t-shirt that exposed the navel on the upper body, and ultra-short denim hot pants on the lower body, her face was tightly covered, her going out standard three Set: peaked cap, sunglasses, mask.

On the streets of Modu, there are many girls dressed like her, but they are rare with her figure. I saw her two long legs, white and long, as if they had long legs. I couldn't help but look back.

Seeing Pei Miao, Li Xueyang immediately ran over happily, pulled down half of the mask, posed a pose, and asked with a smile, "How is it, are my long legs long and white?"

Pei Miao glanced at her long legs again, and said against her will, "It's okay."

"Hypocrisy." Li Xueyang wrinkled his nose at him, and said, "I was staring at him just now, but now I'm still peeking, I guess I really want to touch it."

"Ahem..." Pei Miao coughed a few times in embarrassment, and changed the subject, "Let's go, my master is still waiting for me inside."

"Your master?" Li Xueyang asked in surprise, "What kind of master are you? Why don't I know?"

Pei Miao raised her eyebrows and said, "It's normal if you don't know, you're not my mother, I don't need to report everything to you."

"Your thinking is very outdated." Li Xueyang said, "In this day and age, it's really not necessary to report everything to your mother, but you must report to your wife."

Pei Miao said, "You're not my wife, let's go, don't leave the ink." After speaking, she turned around and left.

"Hey! Wait for me." Li Xueyang said as he came up and grabbed Pei Miao's arm.

Pei Miao wanted to get rid of it, but Li Xueyang hugged her so tightly that she couldn't get rid of it, Pei Miao said helplessly, "What's wrong with you all? Are you sloths?"

"You guys?" Li Xueyang was very good at grasping the key points, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you talking about you? Who else but me? That Chen Wei?"

Pei Miao fell silent immediately, pointed to the front, and said, "Here, my master is right in front."

"Don't try to change the subject." Li Xueyang gently squeezed the flesh on his arm, and said, "Be honest, or I will pinch you."

Pei Miao nodded helplessly: "That's right, it's Chen Wei. When I visited Yunzhou Antique City the day before yesterday, she was in the same posture as you are now. I'll be honest."

He had the expression of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, as if saying, "What can you do to me."

Li Xueyang pursed his lips and asked, "Which arm did she hold?"

Pei Miaodu: "Just the one you're holding now."

Li Xueyang let go of Pei Miao's left arm, walked around to his right, hugged Pei Miao's right arm again, and said, "Then I'll hold your arm, I despise the arm she held."

Pei Miao suddenly felt so speechless, she shook her arm, Li Xueyang hugged tightly and refused to let go, Pei Miao sighed helplessly, and just continued walking forward, and came in front of Ye Lao.

"Master, I'm back." Pei Miao introduced helplessly, "This is my friend, Li Xueyang."

Ye Lao looked at Li Xueyang in surprise, Li Xueyang also looked at Ye Lao in surprise, and the two exclaimed almost at the same time: "Xiao Xueyang?"

"Grandpa Ye?"

Seeing this, Pei Miao was a little confused, looked at Ye Lao, then at Li Xueyang, and asked doubtfully, "You...know each other?"

"I know." Ye Lao said with a smile, "His grandfather and I were colleagues and friends when we were in Kyoto. His grandfather also liked to play with some old things, so he often called me to help Zhangyan. At that time, Xiao Xueyang was not yet here. Ten years old, ah, in a blink of an eye, I have grown up so much, and I am still as beautiful as when I was a child."

Li Xueyang grinned, and said: "Grandpa Ye, you are also growing stronger, your body is still so strong."

"It's old, it's useless." Ye Lao laughed, and then asked, "Didn't your grandfather go back to the capital? Why didn't you go back?"

Li Xueyang smiled triumphantly, and said: "I have found a legitimate reason. I accepted an advertisement, and I want to shoot in Shanghai. This is work, so the reason is legitimate."

"Fair enough." Ye Lao nodded with a smile and asked, "You and Pei Miao came to visit the antique city, and you are like your grandfather? Playing antiques?"

"No." Li Xueyang blushed, and said, "I'm just bored and want to come out to play, but I'm afraid that Pei Miao won't accompany me, so I asked him to take me to the antique city. By the way, Grandpa Ye, what are you doing? Could it be Pei Miao's master?"

Ye Lao said: "Because Pei Miao is good enough, he has a solid foundation in antiques, has good eyesight, and works hard. I couldn't hold back for a while, so I accepted him as a closed disciple."

"Really?!" Li Xueyang excitedly said, "Then let's go and see the antiques, I feel that Pei Miao will find a big leak today!"

"Hey, you still know that you have picked up a big leak." Ye Lao said with a smile, "Let's go, let's take a look around the first floor."

Pei Miao really wanted to tell Mr. Ye that he visited the first floor a few days ago, but he was afraid that Mr. Ye would scold him. After all, things about antiques are uncertain, and maybe they will be updated today.

Fortunately, Ye Lao asked Pei Miao to lead the way, that is to say, which store to enter, Pei Miao has the final say, after all, the purpose of coming to Yunzhou Antique City this time is to choose a suitable birthday gift for Ye Lao.

Those shops that Pei Miao had visited before, went in and walked around to rescue them, and those shops that had not been visited before, and walked around twice more, anyway, the speed was very fast.

Li Xueyang went to seven stores with him, and asked Pei Miao in surprise, "Are you shopping for clothes? You went in and left without looking at them. Don't you need to choose antiques carefully?"

Before Pei Miao could answer, Elder Ye explained: "This is the process of picking antiques. First, I have a rough look, and then I have a closer look and filter. After I have determined the general goal, I will look carefully again. I have also looked at the few stores before. Well, there's really nothing good about it."

"Oh..." Li Xueyang nodded repeatedly, not daring to ask any more questions, otherwise he would appear to be too ignorant.

After shopping around the first floor, Pei Miao went to the second floor. In a moderately sized store on the second floor, Pei Miao saw something good. When she saw this item, Pei Miao was so excited that she pointed at Bogu. He set up a Xuande stove, and asked, "Can you show me this Xuande stove?"

"Yes, please wait a moment." The clerk responded politely, took the Xuande stove from the shelf, and put it in front of Pei Miao.

Pei Miao picked up the Xuande stove and looked carefully. Ye Lao was also surprised when he saw this Xuande stove. The craftsmanship of this Xuande stove is very similar to the real thing.

When Pei Miao was looking at the Xuande furnace, the owner of the store came over and seeing Pei Miao holding the Xuande furnace, he hurried forward and said, "This is a good thing, handsome guy, this is an official copy of the Xuande furnace from the Ming Dynasty, take a look." Is this craftsmanship exactly the same as the genuine Xuande stove?"

"Hmm..." Pei Miao gave a perfunctory hum, and was still looking at the Xuande stove carefully. At the same time, he turned the Xuande stove over, with the bottom up, and looked at the stamp on the bottom, and saw that the stamp read "Daming Xuande" annual system."

When he saw this word, Ye Lao was stunned, and Pei Miao was also stunned. He finally knew why the owner of this shop judged the genuine Xuande stove as an official Xuande stove, and it had something to do with the seal on the bottom.

The seal on the bottom of the Xuande furnace is quite special and highly recognizable. Pei Miao said before that there are four marks on the bottom of the Xuande furnace. If one of these four marks is missing, it means that the Xuande furnace is not genuine. of.

However, this Xuande furnace was an accident.

This Xuande stove has a horizontal line on the word "Germany", which does not conform to the rules of the logo on the bottom of the Xuande stove. It stands to reason that it should be judged as an imitation. The highest craftsmanship of the Xuande stove was in the Xuande Dynasty. There have been imitations of Xuande stoves, but the craftsmanship is lacking. In the market, the price of these official imitation Xuande stoves is very different from that of the original Xuande stoves, not even half of the price.

When Ye Lao saw this Xuande stove, he couldn't help it anymore, and said, "Pei Miao, show me."

"Oh." Pei Miao put the Xuande furnace on the counter in front of Ye Lao.

Ye Lao picked up the Xuande stove, took out the magnifying glass that he carried with him, and looked carefully.

After a while, Ye Lao put the Xuande stove in front of Pei Miao, his face was expressionless, and he didn't know if he saw anything.

The store manager asked Mr. Ye: "Old man, how do you feel? Although it is not a genuine Xuande stove, it is an official Xuande stove from the Ming Dynasty. It is a good thing that you can't find with a lantern."

Ye Lao waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's not me who bought things, but him." He pointed at Pei Miao as he spoke.

The store manager is an ordinary person, although he misread it, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, he turned his head and smiled at Pei Miao, and said, "Handsome guy, this Xuande furnace is very good, do you want to buy it?"

Pei Miao asked, "How much?"

The store manager raised two fingers and said, "200 million."

Pei Miao shook her head: "The price is too high, I can't accept it."

The boss immediately smiled and said, "The price can be negotiated, can you tell me how much you can pay?"

Pei Miao also raised two fingers and said, "20."

"Your price is too low." The boss stared and exclaimed, "It's only one-tenth of what I quoted. You can't sell it. You can't sell it. You should go to another house to have a look."

Pei Miao raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say that the price can be negotiated? Why did you start talking and you're not selling anymore?"

The boss said: "The price you gave is too outrageous."

Pei Miao said: "Is the price you gave not outrageous? Since you said you want to talk, then talk about it, there is no reason to drive customers away."

The boss thought for a while, and said, "That's at least 150 million. This price is very fair."

Pei Miao smiled and said, "It's fair or not, you and I know very well, you should make another price."

What Pei Miao meant was obvious, 150 million was still too high.

The boss gritted his teeth and said, "That 120 million really can't be lowered."

Pei Miao raised a finger: "88, an auspicious number, this is the price in my heart, I will not give in, boss, please think about it."

The boss was very troubled when he heard the words, the price Pei Miao gave was really poisonous, it was only [-] more than his purchase price.

To be honest, for such an expensive item, the profit is only [-], which is a bit low.

But the people who ask the price of this Xuande furnace are few people who buy it. This is a fact, and it has been in their hands for a while. The first thing people who do business will always think of is their own capital turnover.

After careful consideration, the boss still thinks that this Xuande furnace can be sold, and the money should be cashed out first, and the headquarters should keep the money here. If there is a chance to make a good profit in the future, that's all.

After thinking up to this point, the boss didn't hesitate anymore, pretended to be very reluctant, and said: "Okay, 88 is 88, and I'll sell it to you at a loss. You didn't earn a penny, and you paid a lot, handsome guy, you are too good at bargaining..."

Pei Miao found out that the bosses in Yunzhou Antique City are very eloquent, and there are so many routines. I don't know if all the antique shop owners in Shanghai are like this.

Next, the bill was billed and the transaction was completed. The boss put the Xuande stove into a plastic box filled with cotton, closed the lid, put it in front of Pei Miao, and said, "Your Xuande stove."

"Thank you." Pei Miao picked up the box with a light smile, turned around and left. He had seen all the items in this store, and there was only one big leak, which was this Xuande furnace.

After leaving the store and walking more than 20 meters away, Elder Ye suddenly said, "Pei Miao, is this Xuande furnace a birthday present for me?"

Pei Miao smiled and asked Ye Lao: "Master, do you like it?"

Ye Lao laughed and said: "Zhenzong Xuande furnace, who doesn't like it, and this is the rarest Xuande furnace among the first batch of Xuande furnaces!"

"You can already see it." Pei Miao laughed and said, "I've caught a big leak."

"Well, it's a big leak." Ye Lao nodded.

Hearing this, Li Xueyang hurriedly asked: "Pei Miao picked up the big leak so quickly? Is it this copper incense burner? Is this thing expensive?"

Ye Laodao: "Let's put it this way, with this thing, in Shanghai, no matter what the location is, it is enough for you to buy a house."

Li Xueyang exclaimed after hearing the words: "That can't be tens of millions?"

"That's for sure." Ye Lao said to her, "Xuande furnace was only cast once in the third year of Xuande, and a total of 5000 pieces were obtained. After that, the furnace was closed and not cast. So, strictly speaking, the Xuande furnace There are only 5000 pieces, but the name of Xuande stove in modern times is already a general name, including the imitated Xuande stoves of later generations. Cruel, dynasties have changed several times, the country has been in turmoil many times, 5000 genuine Xuande furnaces cannot escape the baptism of war, and those that can be preserved intact are almost rare, Pei Miao, take out the Xuande furnace."

Pei Miao took out the Xuande stove from the box as he said. This time, they didn't care about the rules. Ye Lao directly took the Xuande stove from Pei Miao, took off the lid, and then turned the Xuande stove with the bottom up and the mouth open. Facing down, he explained: "The six characters made in the year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty are inscribed in a rectangular shape in regular script, with six characters in two rows, or six characters in three rows. The font is beautiful and has the style of Jin and Tang Dynasties. , is the characteristic of the bottom of Xuande furnace, but there is a horizontal line in the middle of the word "Germany."

Li Xueyang blinked and asked, "Then this Xuande furnace is a fake."

"No, this is the genuine Xuande stove." Ye Lao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "And it is a more precious Xuande stove than other authentic Xuande stoves."
