"Lao Liang, are you there? Are those antique collectors here?"
When he walked in, Mr. Xue greeted loudly, "Literature Hall."
"Here he comes?!" A low and slightly hoarse voice replied, and then an old man walked out of the back room.
The old man looked to be in his seventies. He was very tall, but very thin, almost skinny and bones.
"Yes, I invited them here." Mr. Xue said with a smile, "Lao Liang, this young man collects things."
Then he introduced Lao Liang to He Qing: "Mr. He, he is Teacher Liang."
"Hello, Teacher Liang." He Qing quickly nodded politely to the old man and said hello.
"Hello." Teacher Liang nodded and walked over.
When he came closer, He Qing could see clearly. He saw that his buns were white and not dyed at all. He had a pair of reading glasses with thick bottoms on the bottom of a wine bottle on the bridge of his nose. He could tell at a glance that he was a very educated old man.
.
He Qing has always respected teachers, and the teacher Fu he met before moved him very much.
"Lao Liang, didn't you just say on the phone that you have a few antiques for sale?" Mr. Xue quickly got to the point and said, "Look, I have invited Mr. He and the others here, so let's first
Take the things out and show them to others. This young man is an expert in appraisal. Just give it to him and you can be confident. As long as the quality of your things is good, you will definitely not get it wrong!"
"Well, I'll get it right away!" Teacher Liang nodded excitedly, then turned around and ran quickly into the back room.
"Isn't that thing what Teacher Liang is planning to sell?" He Qing wondered secretly.
The antique that he noticed as soon as he walked in was clearly placed in the living room. The object was filled with precious light and made him feel energetic. However, he remained calm and no one could tell anything was wrong.
Except for him, including Lin Haitao, no one noticed that thing at the moment. It seemed that the antique was "hidden". Even if Teacher Liang didn't know it himself, he probably didn't know either, otherwise
How could he keep such good things? He could have sold them to get some money to treat his seriously ill daughter.
After a while, Teacher Liang turned around and walked back. He carried a relatively large wooden box in his hand. The box was antique and looked very elegant.
"Young man, all my antiques are in this box." Teacher Liang carefully placed the things on the table and said to He Qing.
"Yes. I know. Teacher Liang, please open it and show it to me." He Qing nodded slightly. In fact, he had already seen it. There was a "treasure light" emitting from the box, but the red light was relatively weak.
Not very obvious.
"Okay, take a look." Teacher Liang immediately opened the lid of the box. He opened it and introduced, "It's a few pieces of porcelain, a pair of porcelain vases, and two other pieces of porcelain."
Then he took out the porcelain from the box one by one and placed it on the table for He Qing and others to appreciate and appraise.
As soon as the things were taken out, He Qing had a basic idea, because those pieces of porcelain were relatively ordinary and common things in the market.
"Young man, just this antique. How much do you think it's worth?" Teacher Liang asked a little eagerly.
He Qing nodded with a smile and said: "Of course it is valuable. Teacher Liang, these are all pastel porcelain. This kind of porcelain is one of the most typical varieties of porcelain in the Qing Dynasty. However, your pair of bottles are not from the Qing Dynasty. If I didn't
If you are mistaken, they should be from the Republic of China period. They are dowry bottles. There is a pair of them, and they are relatively well preserved, so they are of certain value."
"Young man, you are right." Teacher Liang nodded solemnly. "These pairs of porcelain vases are indeed dowry items. They were brought by my mother when she got married."
He was honest and didn't hide anything.
He Qing said: "That's right, it's a very standard dowry bottle. It was very popular at that time. Married girls usually have it. The richer their natal family, the better the dowry bottle they send. Some of them are given with pastel from the official kiln.
It’s made of porcelain, but only really rich families can have that kind of skill.”
"Then do you want to collect it? How much is it worth?" Teacher Liang asked again and again. Naturally, he was most concerned about the price of the things, because his family was completely destitute and he had to raise money to treat his daughter's illness.
It is a top priority.
He Qing nodded without hesitation and replied: "Take it, but don't worry, we will discuss the price later."
Originally, he was not interested in dowry bottles at all. After all, they were too common. You can get as much as you want, and the price is very low now. However, Teacher Liang's family is in a special situation, and he wants to support it.
"Well, there's no rush." Teacher Liang responded quickly.
"What about these two bowls?"
After a pause, Teacher Liang asked again.
He Qing took a closer look and said, "These two bowls are very beautiful. Teacher Liang, can I pick them up and appreciate them?"
"Of course, you can take a look at it as you like!" Teacher Liang readily agreed.
He Qing picked up one of the large pastel bowls and turned it over and over to carefully identify it. Lin Haitao, who was standing by, also followed suit.
After reading, He Qing gently put the bowl in its place and said: "This is also a folk kiln porcelain, but it should be a little older, a work from the late Qing Dynasty. Teacher Liang, you may not be able to tell that the surface of that bowl is
It has an official stamp on it, that is to say, it has the words "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" written on the bottom, but it actually does not have a stamp. It is a new imitation, added by a modern distressed master. In addition, there is no stamp on it.
The situation with just one bowl should be about the same.”
"So that's it?" Teacher Liang suddenly realized, "Isn't that worthless at all?"
"That's not true." He Qing shook his head and said, "The things are well made, high imitations, and worth collecting. Teacher Liang, don't worry, I want these things of yours, but I don't know if you still have them at home.
There is nothing else. Since I am here to visit, if possible, leave it all to me. I am a professional collector and need to acquire a large number of antiques. As long as they are antiques, the price will never let you suffer."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked around, as if he was searching for the antiques that still existed in Teacher Liang's house.
"Young man, I'm sorry, there are no more. If there were, I would definitely sell them to you." Teacher Liang shook his head vigorously.
"Oh, really?" He Qing asked doubtfully.
Teacher Liang spoke very decisively without thinking at all. From this, it can be seen that he did not know that there was another treasure in his home.
"Young man, since you like it, let's make a price. How much will you pay for these four pieces of porcelain in total?" Teacher Liang couldn't help but ask again about the transaction price of those antiques.
He Qing said seriously: "Speak for yourself, how much do you think is suitable? It's okay, as long as it's suitable. Doing business is also making friends, so the price is about the same."
He is an expert after all, and he naturally knows something about the prices of those things. The pastel porcelain from the Republic of China period was not expensive at all. According to today's experts, the four pieces together only cost four to five thousand yuan.
One thousand yuan a piece, the price is not low.
"Young man, you are an expert, but I don't understand, so of course you have to make an offer." Teacher Liang declined.
He Qing pondered for a moment and said: "How about this? The four pieces of porcelain are worth 5,000 yuan each, and I will give you a total of 20,000 yuan. How about that?"
"Twenty thousand?!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Teacher Liang and Mr. Xue were shocked, but even Lin Haitao, who was looking at something with He Qing, had a look of surprise on his face.
Lin Haitao naturally knew the situation of the four pieces of porcelain. Those items were not worth 20,000 yuan at all, probably less than a quarter, but He Qing paid an average of 5,000 yuan for one piece.
Lin Haitao also knew in his heart that He Qing was by no means ignorant of the market. He must also know that pastel porcelain was a common thing and had little collection value. Under normal circumstances, he would not be able to pay such a high price.
"Brother Qing deliberately offered such a high price." Lin Haitao thought to himself. He knew full well that He Qing wanted to help Teacher Liang indirectly, because his family was in great difficulty and deserved sympathy.
When he realized this, Lin Haitao felt relieved and said that Brother Qing was really a kind-hearted person with a very kind heart.
However, he also knew that a mere twenty thousand yuan was just a drop in the bucket to He Qing and was nothing at all, but in the eyes of Teacher Liang and his family, it was life-saving money.
"Twenty thousand yuan?!" Teacher Liang adjusted his glasses and said in surprise, "Is it worth so much?!"
"Well, it's worth it." He Qing nodded.
"Thank you then!" Teacher Liang nodded quickly to express his sincere gratitude.
Later, he hurriedly invited He Qing and others to sit down and discuss the transaction.
"Eh?!"
After sitting down, He Qing suddenly exclaimed and said loudly: "Teacher Liang, you have something else here!"
"What?" Teacher Liang asked in surprise.
Lin Haitao and Mr. Xue could not help but be surprised. They immediately looked at where He Qing was looking.
What caught my eye was something randomly placed in a corner of the wall next to it. The thing was dark and dark. I didn't know if it was made of stone or a wooden pier.
"That's it." He Qing pointed directly at the thing that looked like a tree stump and said.
The thing looked unremarkable at first glance. After seeing it, Lin Haitao and the others were puzzled as to why He Qing had noticed it. The light in the room was very dim. The thing was placed in the darkest place, but
It's hard to notice, so you can imagine that He Qing is indeed an expert with amazing eyesight, he can see things that others can't.
"That's an ornament." After seeing it, Teacher Liang said, "It's made of clay. It's always been there, but it's of no use."
"Teacher Liang, that's wrong!" He Qing said solemnly, "This thing is not simple! Congratulations, this is a good thing. With this, your daughter may have enough money to treat her disease!"
"
"Ah?!" As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar.
(Thank you, old friend, for the reward of 688 starting coins.)
