Extraordinary Ring

Chapter 51 Taobao

Since the school was closed for the winter vacation, Li Huai also took a late nap. At around nine o'clock, he got up, washed up and went to Panjiayuan, a famous flea market in Yanjing.

Panjiayuan Flea Market is located southwest of Panjiayuan Bridge on East Third Ring Road South, Yanjing, covering an area of ​​48,500 square meters. The market is divided into six business areas: stall area, ancient building area, classical furniture area, modern collection area, stone carving area, and catering service area. Mainly engaged in antique items, handicrafts, collectibles, and decorations, with an annual turnover of hundreds of millions of yuan... The market was formed in 1992 and gradually developed with the rise and activity of folk antiques and art transactions. Now it has become an antique A large antique art market that spreads folk culture.

Li Huai walked among them and felt that tourists of different skin colors, different languages, different classes, and different beliefs from all over the world were mingling here, and he had some strange feelings in his heart.

Things such as the Four Treasures of the Study, ancient calligraphy and paintings, old books and periodicals, agate, jade, ceramics, Chinese and foreign coins, bamboo and wood bone carvings, shadow puppets and facial makeup, Buddhist tokens, national costumes, and Cultural Revolution relics can be found everywhere. Of course, you still need to check whether they are true or false. identify.

In fact, Li Huai came here for hobbies and to find energy. There is a group of Buddha statues in Beibing City where Du Yingying is located, but he is not sure whether there is energy in it. Panjiayuan has gathered a large number of second-hand goods transactions in China. The crowd success rate is relatively high.

Li Huai glanced at the objects one by one, sometimes squatting down to pick them up and look at them. He even found several items that contained energy, but the energy contained in them was too little to be worth buying.

After a few hours, Li Huai saw a lot of antiques, but none of them contained great energy. He couldn't help but sigh, "It seems you still need luck to choose something with energy!"

"What a coincidence, little brother, I didn't expect to meet you here!" Suddenly, Li Huai felt someone pat his shoulder. When he looked back, he saw a familiar face. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he smiled. "Mr. Zong, it turns out to be you. Are you coming to Taobao today?"

Zong Wei was very happy to see Li Huai, "Haha, yes, I came to Taobao today. This is my niece. It happened that their school was on holiday, and she was very interested in antiques, calligraphy and painting, so I brought her to Panjiayuan to experience it. experience!"

I saw Zong Wei waving to a girl not far away who was wearing a peaked cap, casual clothes, a small travel bag on her back, and was watching with a pen and washer. "Hong Yi, come here quickly. I will introduce someone." Let me know you!”

"Uncle, who is she?" The girl came to Zong Wei's side, staring at Li Huai curiously with a pair of bright eyes.

Zong Wei caressed the girl's dark hair affectionately, "Haha, didn't I say last time that I went to Beihai to buy Hetian jade last time, and I would have lied to him if it weren't for him. He is very knowledgeable in the study of antiques. You have to learn like others!”

"Mr. Zong, you're overestimating me. I'm just an amateur. I can't be considered very accomplished!" Li Huai quickly defended.

Zong Wei laughed and said, "Haha, Hong Yi, you've seen how humble she is, unlike you, who talks about how awesome you are all day long!"

Hong Yi curled her lips in dissatisfaction, hugged Zong Wei's arm and said coquettishly, "Uncle, you know how to talk about others, and how can they always talk about it? They just tell the truth!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Uncle is wrong!" Zong Wei turned his eyes to Li Huai, "Little brother, we are new here, can you show us around?"

Li Huai wanted to say that it was his first time to Panjiayuan, but he remembered that Zong Wei helped him out last time and gave him a Ferrari after the college entrance examination, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"

"By the way, little brother, what do you think of this brush washer?" Zong Wei picked up a green brush washer and said.

Li Huai looked at it carefully and said, "The Five Dynasties Ding Kiln Animal Face Brush Washer is a good thing, but...!"

Suddenly, Hong Yi snorted and interrupted Li Huai's explanation, "Humph, I think you are just talking nonsense. The animal-faced brush washers of Ding kiln in the Five Dynasties are extremely rare. They are very exquisite from the shape to the craftsmanship. This brush wash This is the first appearance. The diameter of this product is 18.3 cm; the height is 6.6 cm, which is the same as that of Xing Kiln. The style of the animal-faced washer is very close to that of an animal-faced washer collected in a Japanese museum. However, there is a certain gap between this brush washer and the original in terms of diameter and height. Although it is not obvious to a layman, but for someone like me An expert can tell it right away, so uncle, this thing is fake!"

The stall owner was not embarrassed by Hong Yi's denial and said with a smile, "Haha, this lady really has good eyesight. This is indeed just an imitation, but the craftsmanship of this imitation is one of the best among the many imitations." , and it is also from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, so it is quite valuable for collection!”

"Boss, you are right. If Mr. Zong likes to collect, you can buy one!" Li Huai didn't know why this Hong Yi targeted him the first time they met, but the other party was about sixteen years old, so he naturally regarded her as a naughty little girl. He smiled and said, "There are four such brush washers found so far. The device combines various techniques such as engraving and pasting. The whole device is glazed, and the ring foot is unglazed. It is one of the most representative works of the early Ding kiln. It is very rare. In the 2008 Spring Art Auction of Zhongding International Auction Co., Ltd., the Five Dynasties Ding kiln animal face brush washer was sold at a price of 5.5 million yuan. So it should be impossible to buy the real thing."

"Huh!" Hong Yi knew that what Li Huai said was right, and it was all right. She snorted coldly and turned her head to the side. Zong Wei took all this in his eyes. His niece has been interested in antiques since she was a child. Her knowledge of antiques is not even comparable to some old professors who have studied for twenty or thirty years. But now Li Huai's insights into antiques made her little self-esteem feel a little jealous.

"Boss, how much is this brush washer?" Since his niece didn't object, and Li Huai also agreed with this brush washer, and he took the initiative to pick it up, Zong Wei also wanted to buy it.

"Haha, this little brother and this little girl are experts, I won't ask for a high price, sir, just give 50,000 yuan!"

Zong Wei paid the bill with a smile, and then the three of them kept moving forward, but Li Huai found that Hong Yi seemed to want to compete with him. Zong Wei asked him several times, but was interrupted by Hong Yi. He didn't get angry, so he thought of a way. Every time Zong Wei asked him, he asked Hong Yi, but Hong Yi's attainments in antiques were really strong. After an hour, Zong Wei spent more than one million and bought five or six antiques such as calligraphy and paintings. Because of Li Huai's modesty, Hong Yi was not so hostile to Li Huai!

"Hong Yi, take a look at this painting to see if it is authentic!" Zong Wei picked up a scroll of ancient paintings from a stall and unfolded it.

Hong Yi's clear eyes kept sweeping over the landscape painting, but a puzzled expression appeared on her brows, obviously she was not sure whether the painting was real or not.

Seeing that his niece was embarrassed, Zong Wei said to Li Huai, "Little brother, how about this painting?"

Li Huai walked to Hong Yi's side, and felt a faint fragrance in his nose. His eyes fell on the painting, and he shouted in surprise, "It's actually a replica of Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"!"
