treasure hunter

Pei Miao raised her eyebrows and said, "Otherwise, you don't really think that I can't even tell the real and fake antique coins?"

Realizing that she was cheated by Pei Miao, Pan Jinting was very unhappy immediately, and then she felt something was wrong, and said: "No, you didn't know that the boss would cheat you at first, why did you choose some fake coins on purpose? You wouldn't Are you trying to save face for yourself?"

Pei Miaoyong looked at her with a look that looked like she was mentally handicapped.

Pan Jinting said displeased: "What kind of eyes are you looking at?"

Pei Miao said, "You really think I can't tell the difference between real and fake ancient coins..."

Pan Jinting raised her eyebrows and said, "I just believe what I see with my eyes."

"What you see with your eyes may not be the truth." Pei Miao's tone was quite educational, "Sometimes, what you see with your eyes is what others want you to see, but what you want to see is what others don't want you to see." Will definitely let you see."

Pan Jinting frowned and said, "What about the tongue twister? Just explain it directly. Why did you think the boss would cheat you from the beginning?"

Pei Miao said: "At the beginning, I didn't know that the boss would cheat me. I just felt the cunning from the boss. Moreover, there are no receipts and no videos for street stall transactions. If you want to catch leaks, you have to be prepared. In Jinling's At that time, a senior antique dealer and I were shopping at a street stall at the Confucius Temple night market to pick up leaks. The senior saw a leak and was about to buy it. Unexpectedly, the stall owner didn’t sell it to him, but took the treasure directly. It seems that the reason is very simple, he recognized this senior as a treasure appraiser, although it didn't happen to me, but I have learned experience, so when I pick up leaks at the street stall, I usually play a little cautious , It’s the simplest trick to make a fool of yourself, just spend an extra 100 yuan, which is nothing compared to the big leak you picked up.”

After listening to Pei Miao's words, Pan Jinting looked at Pei Miao in surprise. After a long time, she asked, "It sounds like...you seem to have a lot of experience of picking up leaks?"

Pei Miao said, "Not many, but quite a lot."

Pan Jinting asked again: "Then what is the missing treasure you brought this time?"

Pei Miao smiled at her and said, "I don't think you should ask such a private topic."

Pan Jinting also realized that she was a bit abrupt, and explained: "I'm just too curious."

Pei Miao said leisurely: "You are curious, am I a master or not, right?"

Pan Jinting was shocked again, Pei Miao even guessed what was going on in her heart, it was simply unbelievable.

Seeing Pan Jinting's surprised look, Pei Miao felt very proud. This Pan Jinting may be due to her long-term academic research. It showed her doubts about Pei Miao's level of appreciating treasures.

Pei Miao slowly said: "Are you an expert? If it's important, you can pick up the leaks. There seems to be something good at the stall in front of you. Go and have a look."

Pei Miao quickened her pace while speaking, and came to a stall.

The things on this stall are a bit miscellaneous, except for calligraphy and painting, there are various other types of things.

Pei Miao was attracted by the bronze ware on the stall, and this bronze ware was actually a Xuande stove.

There were two customers choosing things beside the booth, Pei Miao was not in a hurry to pick something, but just stood in front of the booth, looking around the booth.

Pan Jinting also came to the booth, glanced at the things on the booth, and then her eyes fell on the Xuande stove. She could tell that the best thing in this booth was the Xuande stove.

The other two customers were also quite discerning. After picking things for a while, they fixed their eyes on the Xuande furnace and asked to check it out. The stall owner agreed.

So the two guests picked up the Xuande furnace and observed it carefully.

Pan Jinting took a few glances at the side and shook her head secretly. This is an imitation, not the genuine Xuande stove, but even if it is an imitation, it is also an imitation of the Ming Dynasty. It is not many years away from the original Xuande stove, and it is probably worth 20 yuan.

Why is the price of the imitation Xuande stove in the Ming Dynasty so low? Is it because of the gap in craftsmanship? The answer is, not only that, but the gap in craftsmanship is actually not that big.

Authentic Xuande furnaces are very rare now, but since Emperor Xuande, there have been imitations of Xuande furnaces in the Ming Dynasty, and the number of imitations is much higher than that of genuine Xuande furnaces.

The authentic Xuande furnace is also a necessary funeral object in royal tombs. If an emperor or queen dies, many Xuande furnaces must be buried with him. Therefore, until today, the number of authentic Xuande furnaces is very scarce, but Ming Dynasty Imitation Xuande furnaces are relatively common.

The two guests stared at the Xuande stove for a while and asked the boss: "Boss, how much is this?"

The boss raised five fingers: "50."

The two guests discussed it and asked the boss, "Can you sell it for [-] yuan?"

The boss shook his head: "It can't be sold."

The two guests discussed again and asked, "12?"

The boss still shook his head: "It can't be sold."

The two guests discussed for the last time, and then said: "15, if it doesn't work, forget it."

The boss said: "The minimum price is 30, if it is less than this price, it will not be sold."

The two customers struggled for a while, clinging to the price of 15 yuan, refusing to budge, and the stall owner also clinging to the price of 30 yuan, refusing to budge.

In the end, the business was not negotiated, and they broke up unhappy, and the two guests got up and left.

Those two people left, the boss turned his head to look at Pei Miao, and said, "Handsome guy, what kind of baby do you like?"

Pei Miao smiled lightly, and pointed to the Xuande furnace.

The boss said: "This is a good thing, you can take a look at it."

Pei Miao said, "Don't look, it's 30, right?"

The boss froze for a moment, nodded and said, "30."

Pei Miao picked up the Xuande stove, and at the same time took out her bank card and handed it to the boss, saying, "Swipe the card."

The boss took Pei Miao's bank card in a daze. He might be worried that Pei Miao would go back on his word, so he didn't forget to remind him: "Handsome guy, I don't issue invoices here. Once the money and goods are cleared, there will be no regrets."

Pei Miao said, "Understood, let's swipe the card."

Seeing Pei Miao's behavior, the boss concluded that Pei Miao was a novice in antiques, so he took out the POS machine to swipe his card.

The card was swiped successfully, and the money and goods were cleared. Pei Miao took back the bank card, turned around and left.

Pan Jinting followed quickly, and said, "You paid 30 yuan for a fake Xuande furnace? Even if it is a Ming Dynasty imitation, it's not worth 30 yuan. This is an antique, and you don't even look at it?"

Pei Miao said: "When those two people started to look at it, I also looked at it from the side. This Xuande furnace is not bad, and it is estimated to be worth 3000 million."

"Three thousand... ten thousand?" Pan Jinting said with a smirk on her face when she heard the words, "Even the genuine Xuande furnace is not worth 3000 million. You said that this imitation Xuande furnace is worth 3000 million. What are you kidding?"

"I'm not joking." Pei Miao said seriously, "And this Xuande stove is not a fake, it's the real Xuande stove."

"Do you think I don't understand the Xuande furnace?" Pan Jinting exclaimed, "I study archaeology. The Xuande furnace is an extremely important bronze ware in the Ming Dynasty, but it is a frequent visitor to the bronze ware in the tomb. What does the real Xuande furnace look like? You know, if you look at the seal on the bottom of this stove, it is a copy, and there is an extra horizontal line on the word "Germany", it is a copy!"

Pei Miao raised her eyebrows and said, "That's right, there is indeed a missing horizontal line on the Xuande furnace's German character, why is there a missing horizontal line, do you know?"

"Of course I know!" Pan Jinting was about to tell an allusion.

Pei Miao raised her hand to stop her, and said, "You don't need to tell the story, I know the story too, I just want to ask you, before this story, was there a horizontal line in the Xuande stove?"

Pan Jinting stood there in a daze when she heard the words, and after a long time, she said: "But...that batch of Xuande furnaces are experimental products!"

"The experimental product is not the Xuande furnace?" Pei Miao raised his eyebrows. "The experimental product is also the Xuande furnace. Moreover, in terms of rarity, it is far from the authentic Xuande furnace."

"Impossible!" Pan Jinting said stubbornly, "No one has ever seen the experimental Xuande furnace. There were only a few. After so many years, only a few of the thousands of Xuande furnaces have been preserved. , How could it be preserved? Besides, according to the laws and regulations at the time, the Xuande Furnace, the experimental product, should be destroyed uniformly."

"This is just your imagination." Pei Miao said, "The experimental Xuande furnace should be destroyed in a unified way, but the way to destroy bronzes is to burn them back. Once they are returned to the furnace, no one will be able to find any evidence. The fake Xuande furnace is fake, but after returning it to the furnace and burning it like this, can ghosts find it out?"

Pan Jinting said: "How could someone dare to be greedy for ink? Are they dying!"

Pei Miao said: "Man died for wealth, and birds died for food. They took the Xuande stove home and didn't take it out. They wrapped it tightly and buried it in the ground. They told the family that it was a family heirloom. When it comes to crisis, take it out and sell it to save your life.”

Pan Jinting argued: "No matter how many generations have passed, as long as it is still in the Ming Dynasty, if he dares to sell the Xuande furnace, it will be a death penalty!"

Pei Miao said: "The ancients were not stupid. In ancient times, dynasties changed frequently. They knew that when the dynasties changed or the current situation was turbulent, it was also the most difficult time for the common people. But this time is also the time when the laws are the most relaxed. Organ supervisors or workers do not earn much, do they have much power, and if they want to make a living for future generations, they can only take risks."

Pan Jinting couldn't say no to Pei Miao, and angrily quoted Pei Miao's words: "This is just your imagination."

Pei Miao said: "Yeah, it's my imagination, so what, I once picked up an experimental Xuande furnace that is exactly the same as this one, and the guide price given by the experts is 3000 million yuan."

Pan Jinting said unconvinced: "You must be a fake expert!"

Pei Miao couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

Pan Jinting frowned and looked at him: "What are you laughing at?"

Pei Miao smiled again and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking that if your teacher heard what you said, he would probably sever the teacher-student relationship with you."

Pan Jinting was shocked when she heard the words, she didn't dare to speak, and thought to herself: "Could it be that he asked the teacher for identification?"

Thinking of Zhang Tongshou's enthusiastic attitude towards Pei Miao, it is really possible.

But she guessed wrong. Pei Miao's previous experimental Xuande furnace was appraised by Ye Lao, and the price of 3000 million was fabricated by Pei Miao.

What kind of person is Ye Lao? Taishan Beidou in the domestic antique industry, Zhang Tongshou's most respected person, others can point to Zhang Tongshou's nose and say that he doesn't understand antiques, but if he dares to say that Ye Lao is a fake expert, Zhang Tongshou will definitely go crazy.

Therefore, what Pei Miao said just now was definitely not to scare Pan Jinting.

Although Pan Jinting didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, she still didn't want to believe that this Xuande stove was an experimental Xuande stove. Young people always have a temperament of not admitting defeat. After a moment of silence, she said: "Although there is a limit to picking up leaks before the game. Three days to pick up leaks, but there is no limit to the number of leaks, when the competition comes, you take out this Xuande stove and let everyone have a look to see if it is a fake."

Pei Miao was pleasantly surprised when she heard the words: "It turns out that there is no limit to the number of leaks, that's really great, thank you for reminding me."

Pan Jinting said: "Don't be too happy too early. If you take out fake things during the competition, you will directly cancel the results of this competition."

Pei Miao smiled cheaply, and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen as you wish, let's go, continue to hurry up and pick up more mistakes. During the competition, I want to see who dares to compare with me."

Pei Miao knows that there is no limit to the number of leaks before the game, so it is not crazy to pick up leaks. Except for lunch at noon, he has been wandering around Panjiayuan all day long. Jiang Long said that this task is very easy. But the small high-heeled shoes that Pan Jinting wore today, even though the heels were not very high, were exhausting. When she returned to the hotel at night, she kept using the fascia gun to relax her legs and feet.

Pei Miao had a good result today, besides the Xuande stove and the five foreign coins, he also missed a miniature walnut carving from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and a silver ball sachet from the Tang Dynasty.

Speaking of the silver ball sachet from the Tang Dynasty, Pei Miao was really lucky. The stall owner had just received the goods and was spotted by Pei Miao when he went out of the stall for the first time. The masters of the team were the first to pick it up.

The silver ball sachet of the Tang Dynasty is a very rare antique, with extremely superb craftsmanship. The most important thing is that it uses gyroscope technology. This superb technology appeared in the Tang Dynasty. It is really shocking. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty The silver ball sachet is also recognized as an ancient cultural treasure of our country, and its value is immeasurable.

Today's trip to Panjiayuan is true and did not disappoint Pei Miao. Unfortunately, Panjiayuan is too big, and he didn't finish shopping all day. To be honest, he still wants to go to Panjiayuan tomorrow, but he has already bragged , I went to Panjiayuan on the first day, went to Liulichang on the second day, and rested on the third day. If I change my mind now, it is equivalent to slapping myself in the face. Seeing how unhappy Pan Jinting is now, she will probably take the opportunity to ridicule and ridicule her.

So, for the sake of face, Pei Miao still decided to go to Liulichang tomorrow.

Thinking of going to Liulichang, Pei Miao thought of an antique shop. That's right, the famous Rongbaozhai, known as the number one antique shop in China, has almost become a gold-lettered signboard of the antique shop.

Although Pei Miao's Jubaozhai is only one word away from Rongbaozhai, and Jubaozhai's business is very good now, and its reputation is also very big, but Pei Miao knows that compared with Rongbaozhai, Jubaozhai is still far behind. Going to Rongbaozhai to take a good stroll, if there is a chance, it is best to find a leak in Rongbaozhai, I am a little excited when I think about it.
