Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

The inner wall of the cup is covered with white glaze and is already slightly green.

The old man seemed very satisfied and turned the cup over.

At the bottom, the regular characters "Qianlong Year System of the Qing Dynasty" are clearly printed.

Lin Ran nodded slightly, this was really a good treasure, and he admired the old man's vision.

The only flaw he felt was that there was a tiny crack at the bottom of the cup, exposing the enamel inside.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the exposed enamel that it proves its age and is a cultural relic from the Qianlong period in the mid-Qing Dynasty.

The old man suddenly beamed with joy.

Lin Ran looked around and wanted to laugh.

This old man's vision is indeed good, but his conduct is a bit poor.

His expression now was so obvious that the stall owner should have been able to tell at a glance that he was interested in this cultural relic, so the price would probably continue to rise.

Generally, savvy buyers will adopt a dismissive attitude and choose randomly. The stall owner cannot see the real intention, so he can pick up the goods at a low price.

Otherwise, the stall owner comes to set up a stall just to make money. If he doesn't make money, what is he trying to do?Do charity?

Lin Ran thought to himself that although the age could be seen through the glaze color inside, it might be a high imitation.

If he were an old man, he would never be so excited or rush to take action.

What Lin Ran didn't know was that the old man was excited because he regretted missing the jade paperweight earlier.

Now he wants to seize every opportunity and buy valuable things.

Even if others are watching, he still has to seize the opportunity.

Soon, the old man started bargaining with the stall owner.

Lin Ran smiled slightly, revealing his intention to buy. It was not easy to keep the price down.

Lin Ran planned to take a look at the situation, so he casually observed at the stall.

The stall in front of me basically sells porcelain.

And most of them are red glazed porcelain.

The quality of most of the red glazes was somewhat inferior. Lin Ran could easily determine the approximate age of these porcelains just by looking at them.

They should all be works from the late Republic of China, and some may be porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty.

But without exception, all are products from folk kilns.

In fact, products from private kilns don't matter. There is still a certain market for porcelain with good quality, but the price is not as high as products from official kilns.

Unfortunately, the workmanship of these porcelains is average.

Even though Lin Ran had money, he would not consider pocketing these worthless collections.

After basically reading everything, Lin Ran lost interest.

Just as he was about to talk to Yang Jianlong about going back, the bargaining between the old man and the stall owner was coming to an end.

Obviously, the two people did not agree on the price.

The old man gritted his teeth and said: "This red glaze cup costs only 500 yuan! I will pay [-] yuan, no more!"

But the price given by the stall owner was quite exaggerated, directly asking for one thousand.

"You want to pick up the leaks, and I also want to make a fortune. This is porcelain from the Qianlong period. If you buy it back for one thousand, it will definitely not be a problem to make five or six hundred."

Both of them stood at their own angles, quarreling until their faces turned red and their ears pricked.

Apparently, they couldn't agree on price.

This time, Lin Ran was on the old man's side.

According to his calculations, even if the red glaze cup in the old man's hand was genuine, if it were sold in an antique shop, the price would only be six to seven hundred at most. The old man's estimate was very accurate.

Of course, if it is identified as an official kiln product, you can go through the auction process.

The price may be the same as what the boss said.

However, auction standards across the country are different, and the types of cultural relics acquired are also different.

And this thing actually depends on people's interest.

This does not mean that if you put it at auction, it will sell for a high price. It is also possible that it will not be auctioned.

After all, most buyers in auction houses go there for rare items.

This kind of cup seems too ordinary.

They argued for a while, and Lin Ran discovered that the old man had a bad temper than he thought. At the end of the conversation, he cursed the stall owner and his family.

This is something that only a few people can do in the antique market.

The stall owner's face turned red and white. No matter how good-tempered he was, he made up his mind to not sell this thing after being humiliated like this.

"Let's go!"

The stall owner drove the old man away directly.The old man spat, turned and left.

After the old man left, Yang Jianlong was stunned: "The old man in Qi Province is so arrogant?"

Maybe this is a cultural reason.

Lin Ran became interested in what he put down.

Whether you want to buy it or not, you can take a look at the situation first.

After the stall owner put down the red-glazed cup, Lin Ran picked it up directly.

Of course, by doing this, he actually exposed his purpose.

But Lin Ran didn't mind. Unlike the old man, he was a sensible person.

When dealing with antique vendors, he never tried to fake the suit.

After picking up the cup, Lin Ran had the opportunity to carefully identify it.

Previously, he could only stand next to the old man and take a rough look. He could only observe the appearance. As for the feel and quality, he still had to experience it himself.

Holding it in hand, it feels really different.

The red glaze cup in your hand is of high quality and its color is extremely pure.

From the outside, it looks like a single color glaze.

In porcelain, single-color glazes are often not valuable, and large items that require a mix of multiple colors can fetch a good price.

The cup in front of me is small and exquisite in shape. No matter what the shape of the vessel, the price will not be much higher, unless it is made by the official kiln.

Lin Ran felt a little disappointed, but except for the single color, everything else was fine.

There is slight wear at the base, exposing the enamel inside.

Lin Ran took a magnifying glass and took a look.

Is this glaze color not a product from a folk kiln?

Lin Ran felt that the possibility of it being a product of an official kiln was extremely high!

The old man really had a good eye and helped him select the items.

Lin Ran decided to buy it. Whether he would make money or not was another matter. He would be a fool not to buy it if he had money.

Lin Ran took the cup and asked the stall owner for the price.

The stall owner was still angry and said angrily: "You were here just now, you should have heard it, 1000 yuan, not a penny less."

He thought this thing was a good product, otherwise why would so many people come to ask about the price.

It is very rare for antique dealers like them to receive one or two genuine items. Of course, they put all their energy into the genuine items, hoping to make a lot of money.

As for other items that cannot be sold, they will bring them with them when they go out to the stall.

But in the antique market, these people come and go. They often see the same goods and will not be interested.

Therefore, many ordinary goods will eventually be thrown away as garbage.

This is also their weakness.

Therefore, for things they consider valuable, they will definitely raise the price as high as possible.
