Shen Yu has now basically figured out Lao Liu’s routine.
To put it bluntly, it is an antique serial fairy game.
This guy also played a very unscrupulous trick on Shen Yu to "find the truth among the lies" on the seals, fake paintings, real porcelain and false colors.
"Finding the truth among the lies" is a fun game among Tibetans to relieve their boredom.
It means throwing a real antique into a pile of fakes for the other party to find.
Find out the lucky numbers.
It doesn’t hurt if you can’t find it, you can improve your appreciation level.
This was originally a good thing.
But once it is put into a carefully designed antique serial fairy game, it turns into an antique sure-kill game.
The ones who are being tricked are those collectors who are experienced and have a certain foundation in appraisal, such as Shen Yu.
The collector must also have a certain financial strength. To put it bluntly, he must be able to afford it.
For beginners who don’t know anything about antique collecting, it can’t fool them.
Because they either think everything is real, and Lao Liu's plate sells for 130,000 yuan, so even if they think it is an antique, they can't afford it.
Either everything he looks at feels fake, and everyone feels like he is lying to him.
The fairy round is also the sure-kill round in the antique chain round.
Shen Yu felt that he was lucky to be able to see through this situation.
Because this [finding the truth among the fake] is really too shameful.
No matter how famous a person is in the antique circle, it is very laborious for him to find an authentic item among a bunch of high imitations and fakes.
But because it has the fun of Taobao, it is also something that collectors like to do very much.
The key point of "finding truth among lies" is not about falsehood, but about truth.
Because the buyer subconsciously believes that among the pile of fakes in front of him, one thing must be real.
Then the vigilance is greatly reduced.
But once you encounter someone taking advantage of someone, it will be a complete disaster.
Because all the products presented by the other party are fake.
There is nothing true, so how can you find the truth from it?
Any so-called antique found there will eventually be deceived.
The beauty of this little trick is that once the buyer thinks it is real, he or she is completely in the game and cannot escape.
Because it’s not real!
"Huh..." Shen Yu exhaled heavily.
The layout of Lao Liu, a fairy, is simply perfect.
First of all, his timing can be said to be precise.
Early in the morning is when the flea market has the least amount of people. If in the morning or afternoon when there are many people, Lao Liu rashly says that there are real things in his stall for Shen Yu to find, Shen Yu will definitely be wary.
Because this so-called "real at first glance" Yongzheng pastel plate cannot be discovered in advance at a flea market with nearly 50,000 visitors every day.
Not to mention anything else, the shopkeepers or shopkeepers of the antique shops in the market will definitely come to the street stall area if they have time.
Not to mention that there are many veteran players with keen eyesight from other places who hunt for treasures in the market all year round.
What makes Shen Yu even more amazed is that the chicken cup, moon bottle, Taibai Zun, plum vase, pen washer and other shabby foils that Lao Liu found are simply wonderful.
Just like the scene in Zhou Xingxing's classic movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance".
Qiuxiang does not look very beautiful alone, but after a meal of rouge and vulgar powder, she instantly becomes a stunning beauty in the world.
Therefore, as long as Shen Yu is not blind, he will definitely find the so-called "Yongzheng Pastel Flower Plate" from the official kiln among a pile of junk.
Whenever Lao Liu places a piece of porcelain such as a cup, plate, dish, or bowl from the Guangxu kiln in the late Qing Dynasty, Shen Yu will probably not look at it anymore.
This is the brilliance of Lao Liu.
"Serial fairy bureau", one link after another, each link is wonderful.
Let yourself step into the game without knowing it.
While Shen Yu was getting angry, he praised Lao Liu again: "Master, he is indeed a master."
Shen Yu said this sentence loudly, he just wanted Lao Liu to hear it.
Lao Liu, who was sipping tea, thought Shen Yu was praising him. Hearing this, he waved his hands quickly: "What master? You're just lucky.
"Now that you have found Xiao Shen, Brother Liu and I can't break our promise. If you are short of money, let's set up a letter first. It's okay to give it to me when you have money."
"Haha, there is no need to establish a written document. There is an old saying in our country that a gentleman should not take what others like. Brother Liu, you should keep this pastel flower plate from the Yongzheng official kiln."
"Ah?"
After hearing Shen Yu's words, the smile on Lao Liu's face suddenly froze.
He stared at Shen Yu for a while with slightly cloudy eyes. There was confusion, confusion, and even more disbelief in his eyes.
"Isn't that right, Xiao Shen? You can also tell on this plate?"
"What do you see?" Shen Yu shrugged and asked with a half-smile.
Seeing that Lao Liu didn't say anything, he slowly put the plate back to its place, and conveniently covered the plate with the black silk cloth next to it.
Lao Liu chatted for a long time: "You can see that my plate is a high imitation."
Shen Yu smiled self-deprecatingly: "Brother, I have already fallen into your trap, but I still have to thank Brother Liu for the transaction receipt.
"If I hadn't had that receipt, I wouldn't have realized there was anything wrong with the plate, let alone seen through this sure-fire game."
Lao Liu slapped his thigh: "That's sloppy. To put it this way, I'm just superfluous. But where do you start from saying that I set up a fairy trap?
"The Antique Fairy Bureau often requires several people to participate, and it takes many days to set up the layout. I am alone. You are really looking down on you, Brother Liu, and me."
Shen Yu smiled faintly, "Since Brother Liu is so self-effacing, let me speak for you.
"Although you are the only one who planned this fairy game, your methods are no worse than those of the legendary veterans.
"You first use the bad-looking Qingtian stone seal as bait. This is your first move against me.
"This move is called 'willing to take the bait'. After all, I asked you if you had a Qingtian stone seal. If you said yes, I would naturally buy it.
"The second step is to play the emotional card. If you take advantage of my soft-hearted personality and ask you for what you want but don't buy it for the time being, then I will naturally feel indebted.
"The third step is that I use money as compensation, but Brother Liu, you deliberately don't want it, which deepens my sense of debt again. This is also the strength of Brother Liu, your grasp of human nature is extremely good.

"You can also predict that I will definitely continue to buy something from your stall as compensation.
"You know that I love calligraphy and painting the most. At this time, the copy of "Ta Ge Tu" in the corner is my shackles, completely trapping me in this situation.
"In the fourth step, you even performed an amazing skill of throwing paintings to introduce porcelain. You know my appraisal skills. As long as you unfold the painting, you will definitely recognize it as a fake.
"At this time, I will naturally not spend money to buy paintings. I will either ask you to give me an explanation or ask you why you did this without losing my reputation.
"At this time, you vowed to promise that there would be a real piece of porcelain on the stall, and if I could pick it out, you would transfer it to me at the original price.
"If I'm not wrong, you should have covered this porcelain and false-color plate with black silk cloth before. It wasn't until you moved the copy of "Ta Ge Tu" to the middle of the stall that I accidentally removed the plate. The black cloth that was originally covering the top was removed to reveal the true appearance of the plate.
"As for why you did this, the reason is very simple. I am afraid that other tourists will see the plate before me, which will disrupt your plan.
"You yourself know that if there was no trick of 'finding the truth among the false', I would definitely notice that the color of this plate was wrong when I first saw it.
"Your ultimate purpose is not revealed until this moment.
"You neither want to sell my seal nor my ancient paintings. Your real purpose is to sell me this real porcelain and fake color 'Yongzheng Official Kiln Pastel Flower Plate'.
"Brother Liu, little brother, am I right or not?"
Lao Liu's fat face kept changing his expression as Shen Yu spoke. He opened his mouth to distinguish a few words, but finally sighed: "I'm convinced, I am worthy of being the direct descendant of Mr. Shen Zhonglou. I, Liu Dahai, I am completely convinced today.
"But Xiao Shen, I want to say that the receipt is true. I actually bought the plate for 130,000 yuan. Do you believe it?"
After finishing speaking, Lao Liu showed a solemn look on his face, as if he cared about Shen Yu's feelings.
Shen Yu chuckled: "Brother Liu, it doesn't matter whether you punch me in the eye or lie, but I still want to thank you. You taught me a lesson today and I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Shen Yu was definitely angry after being dealt a harsh blow, but he was new here after all, and he still didn't want to completely fall out with a local snake like Lao Liu openly.
After all, he still wants to hang out in Chuzhou's antique circle, and Shen Yu knows very well that one more enemy means one less path to take.
It is true that Chuzhou is his ancestral home, and his grandfather also has many connections in Chuzhou.
But one thing is that my grandfather is gone after all, and love is lost every time it is used.
When it comes to holding grudges or seeking revenge in the future, Shen Yu has no such thoughts.
To be honest, Shen Yu himself wanted to pick up Lao Liu's mistakes when he saw the copy of "Ta Ge Tu".
However, Shen Yu also made up his mind that he would have less dealings with old people in the antique circle like Lao Liu in the future. It was impossible to guard against him and he could accidentally fall into the other party’s way.
No longer hesitating, Shen Yu nodded to Lao Liu, turned around and left.
Seeing that Shen Yu was about to leave, Lao Liu quickly stopped him: "Xiao Shen, wait a minute, you are slapping me in the face by saying that. Even if you treat me to dinner, I should treat you. But having said that, you don't have to take today's matter to your heart." Go.
"I have to make it clear to you that Brother Liu, I am not trying to trick you into death.
"Even if I sell this plate to you, I will only charge you 50,000 yuan at most. Besides, it is a private kiln imitating an official kiln in the late Qing Dynasty. Modern people do not have the ability to create such high-quality imitation pastels.
"If this plate is sold in the market, it will be sold immediately for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.
"If you are evil-hearted and play tricks on those wealthy businessmen, you can sell them for even two or three million. You should understand what I mean. To put it bluntly, neither of us are ruthless people.
"In addition, you also know that among us who rely on antiques for a living, which one has never suffered a loss? Which one has not been hit in the eye? Which one has not been tricked by others?
"To tell you the truth, I did something wrong today, brother. If it is wrong, it is wrong. I will admit it if I am wrong. In this way, if you pick an object in my treasure box, it will be my compensation to you, brother.< /p>
"Don't worry, I won't charge you a penny this time. Just take the things and leave. Even if this matter is completely overturned today, we will still be good brothers when we meet in the future."
After Lao Liu finished speaking in rapid succession, he quickly moved a small mahogany box out of the tricycle behind the stall.
The box is very beautifully made and has a rich patina. It looks like it is at least a hundred years old. There are locks on both sides, and they are still old-fashioned copper locks.
Shen Yu looked at Lao Liu with bright eyes. Although he remained calm on the surface, there was a hint of doubt in his heart, "What is this brother going to do?"
Lao Liu took out the key from his waist and opened the box skillfully, "Xiao Shen, you can just pick one and take it away."
As he opened the lid of the box, the true contents inside the box were revealed. It was a special lattice wooden box with six squares inside, and an antique was placed in each square.
From top to bottom: a wood carving, a small blue and white porcelain vase, a jade pendant, a seal, and an ancient inkstone.
Finally, there is a shiny ink ingot.
