Chapter 2466: Ghost City
This pair of porcelain plates are called blue-and-white gold-painted exquisite porcelain plates. Judging from the color, pattern, and inscription, they are the top-grade official kilns of the Qing Dynasty. About 100,000, and now it is placed on the table of ordinary farmers and used as an ordinary plate.
As for the origin, it may have been divided by Dou Landlords back then. Shen Long didn’t want to ask and couldn’t ask about the details. For small things, the most worrying thing is that people will not sell them to you and give them to others.
So Shen Long just glanced at it, and then picked up the copper wine jug, "Well, this wine jug is pretty good, it looks like pure copper, and it can be worth a few dollars!"
"You have a good eye." Shuigen's father gave a thumbs up, straightened his waist and said, "When I was a militiaman, I picked up shell casings and asked the coppersmith to make them big. I was reluctant to use them myself. Only bring out a pot of wine when guests come! A lot of people want to change it with me, but I didn’t change it. Now that the child has married a wife, I have to take it out if I can’t bear it!”
"Congratulations, Brother Shui Gen looks like a good guy at first glance, and he must not be careless in marrying a wife." Shen Long first complimented a few words, and then said, "This jug is indeed a good thing, but if you want to exchange it for such a big one, it is really good. It’s not enough, I don’t want to distribute tickets! You have to spare me something, and I can’t lose money, can I?”
"That's, that's, just take whatever you fancy. There are still some pieces of bacon at home, why don't you take it away?" Father Shuigen was very distressed when he spoke. If the meat is given away, what will happen to the wedding banquet? ah? Meat tickets are also tight now!
"No, no, no, you still have to hold a banquet! You can't let your relatives and friends gossip!" Shen Long waved his hands again and again, "How about this, I'll take all these chicken feathers, and these two plates will also be counted. Knock some candy, and when you get married, you can also entertain the guests, right?"
It can be said that everyone is happy now. Shuigen's family got the Dacron, and Shen Long got a porcelain plate worth 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and he also gave a lot of thanks. Shall I make dumplings for you?"
"No, no, I appreciate your kindness, but I made an agreement with someone yesterday that I will go to the next village later. When I come next time, I will definitely come to your house to ask for water. You can't refuse it, right? At that time Maybe you have a grandson in your arms, and I will bring you some gadgets for your grandson!" Shen Long said politely, and left with his things.
Luo Yuzhu didn't speak during the whole process, but just observed carefully, until she came out of the village and saw no one around, and then she asked, "Is there some kind of skill in your plate? Otherwise, this business is not profitable?"
"This is called a blue-and-white porcelain bowl painted with gold. It is an item that can only be used by officials in the past. It is much more valuable than a copper jug!" Han Chunming learned a lot of skills there, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to do such a big money-making business, how much money can he make by exchanging chicken feathers for sugar? If you rely on this to accumulate the first pot of gold, you will be exhausted to death.
"Oh, this is an antique, right? Do you still understand this?" Luo Yuzhu suddenly realized, and at the same time became more curious. The Tangtang Gang has never done this kind of business.
The cost of knocking sugar is small, and antiques are a business that is extremely eye-catching. If you don’t pay attention, you will lose the bottom, so they can’t do this, Shen Long doesn’t worry about it, his appreciation ability is only above Ma Weidu , and at the price of collecting junk, as long as one of the ten items is genuine, he will make a lot of money.
"Yes, it's an antique. Years ago, I was in a village and collected a few old books, which talked about these methods. I'm also trying my hand at it." Shen Long even found a good reason for himself. When I was in Jiacun, what I read was the professional books on antique appraisal brought back from "Under the Zhengyang Gate".
"This thing is good, but can it be sold now?" Luo Yuzhu had no choice but to put it another way because he was afraid that he would admit the wrong thing.
"No one buys them in the village, but it's different when you go to a big place, just follow me!" Now there are cultural relics stores. In "Blood Romance", didn't Yuan Jun and the others go to the cultural relics store to sell porcelain vases? But Shen Long can't go to this place. It's okay if you sell it once or twice. If you sell too much, people will definitely be suspicious.
As for where to sell it, he had been optimistic about it when he passed by Hangzhou last year; so, for the next period of time, Shen Long continued to take Luo Yuzhu around the villages and villages, while trading chicken feathers for sugar. While searching for good things everywhere, the Jiangnan area has been prosperous since ancient times. In the past one or two hundred years, from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and then to the Anti-Japanese War and Liberation, there are not a small number of antiques and cultural objects living among the people, but he has received a lot of good things. thing.
When it was near Hangzhou, Shen Long found a nearby station to stay temporarily, rested all night until four o'clock in the morning, and called Luo Yuzhu up early. He took a few things and went to 103 Hushu South Road, northeast of the West Lake. No., here will have a famous name "two hundred big" in the future, and it will be the center of Hangzhou cultural relics trade.
It's a bit like Liulichang in Beijing, but that was all in the 1990s, but the rise of any market did not happen overnight. Now, here is a black market.
The more scarce supplies are, the greater the chances of a black market appearing. This is a phenomenon that exists both in ancient and modern China and abroad. Even in this era, people have similar black markets in every city in order to trade various necessary supplies. In other places, even the red cuffs all over the street cannot completely eliminate this phenomenon.
They didn't dare to trade during the day, so they could only sneak here before the sun was fully lit. This is the legendary ghost market. When they got there, they found a place where no one was around to spread out their burdens and put the things they wanted to sell. When they came out, they didn't call for sales, but lowered their heads to cover their faces, and looked around vigilantly. If there was any movement, they quickly rolled up their bags and fled.
The customers also covered their faces, and when they saw something they liked, they squatted down and bargained with the stall owner in a low voice, and then went to the corner to trade.
Luo Yuzhu instinctively felt scared when she arrived at this place, and quickly pulled Shen Long's sleeves. Shen Long followed their example, covering half of his face with his collar, found a place to set up a stall, and then used the corners of his eyes to cover half of his face. Out of the corner of the eye are a lot of street vendors nearby.
There are radios, clocks and other gadgets on some stalls, and some are old clothes and food, and there are also some who sell literature and entertainment like him, but the quantity is relatively small, and the market for these things is not big at present.
But in the end someone wants it.
