When Luo Tian arrived at the antique city, he first stood in front of the structural diagram of the antique city. This roughly explained the structural components of the antique city and detailed the business scope of each area. For example, the first floor was mainly for ceramics, and the second floor was mainly for ceramics.
The main ones are jade, and the third floor is mainly bronzes, lacquerware, etc. The scale of the entire antique city cannot be said to be grand, but it is certainly not small.
Luo Tian originally wanted to come over and wander around to change his mood, but a sudden thought made his purpose clear, and he started wandering around the first floor. Although it was mainly ceramics, there were still mostly porcelain and a small amount of pottery.
Luo Tian turned around and saw only two porcelains with polished patterns of slight value. They were imitated from the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. After the polished patterns were removed, they became Ming Dynasty porcelains.
The so-called grinding model is to deliberately remove the blue, white, red and other colors to make it appear to be from another era. It is usually made into a new imitation of an old one. This method is commonly used in official kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties or new ware to make fakes.
"Boss, come in and take a look." There was not much traffic today, and the bosses or clerks actually started soliciting customers. Due to the need to make a living, Luo Tian smiled and waved his hands, just looking at the pottery. Unfortunately, most of these pottery were
The ones produced by modern handicraft workshops are of little value.
Luo Tian inquired about it and found out that there was another antique street, so he was about to leave and took a taxi there. When he got to the door, he walked in a hurry and accidentally kicked a jar on a street stall, and the jar rolled out.
, Luo Tian was shocked, and the boss looked even more displeased, and cursed in Henan Mandarin: "What a piece of shit, you don't have eyes!"
The words were so harsh that Luo Tian frowned. After all, it was his fault. He didn't reply. Instead, he picked up the jar first. When he got it in his hand, he felt ecstatic in his heart. This jar! Luo Tian couldn't move.
He said, "Boss, I'm sorry, how about this? How about I buy this jar? I'll compensate you, right?"
The boss didn't expect Luo Tian to behave like this. An ordinary person might just be polite and let the matter go. However, the boss wanted to go even further: "Five hundred, not a word less!"
Five hundred? Luo Tian was secretly happy. He also knew that the boss was taking the opportunity to extort money, so he pretended to be reluctant: "Boss, there are at most twenty-one jars like this in the grocery store!"
The boss spat on the ground, looking careless: "What kind of jar is that? What kind of jar is mine? His jar is for boiling soup and water. Mine is an antique. I didn't ask you for five thousand, so it's fine."
Already."
Luo Tian was stunned there, of course he was pretending, and murmured: "Five hundred is too expensive, too expensive..." If he agreed straight away, wouldn't others think he was a fool? At this time, there were already people around him.
The young people all looked at Luo Tian as if they were watching a show. They wanted to see if this young man would admit defeat, or if he would rise up and have a good fight with the boss!
"Three hundred, okay?" Luo Tian's words made the expectant crowd feel a little regretful, as there was no good show to watch now.
"Four hundred, not a cent less." The boss was ecstatic. He got four hundred yuan for nothing today, which was a huge profit.
Luo Tian sighed: "Okay, I admit it, who made me so unlucky?" He slowly took out four hundred yuan and counted it to the boss: "Four hundred, you count, then I will take this jar away.
Yes, I bought it after all."
Luo Tian got into the taxi with the jar in his arms and went back to the hotel directly, because he didn't have to go to the antique street. He had already found it. This jar was extraordinary. As soon as Luo Tian got it in his hand, he could tell that it was a gray clay jar.
, dating back about four thousand years, belongs to the ancient ceramic culture
The Jialing Culture is a culture distributed in the Jianghan Basin after the Yangshao Culture. According to carbon 14 dating, it is more than 4,000 years ago. In the early period, it was mainly black pottery, and in the later period, it was mainly gray pottery, with a small amount of Hong Tao. What's more special is that this
There is also a faint handprint on the jar.
This handprint is unusual and definitely not that of modern people. Four thousand years ago, the pottery making process was not mature, so when making shapes, craftsmen would accidentally reflect their own handprints on it. This was purely unintentional.
But it has a wonderful reflection.
Luo Tian found Xie Ming holding the jar: "I need to go through the entrustment procedures. This pottery must be put into storage before eight o'clock in the evening to participate in tomorrow's auction."
"Where did you find it?" Xie Ming immediately started researching: "I don't know the specific age, but it must be ancient pottery. This fingerprint is so special. It was left by the ancients inadvertently. It's very interesting.
, Luo Tian, why do I feel that wherever you go, there are treasures everywhere?"
"Maybe I can sense them." Luo Tian was worried. It was already the afternoon when he got there, eight o'clock in the evening, eight o'clock! "Brother Xie, please help me with the procedures now."
"Xiaoying!" Xie Ming shouted outside, and Chen Xiaoying hurried over: "What's the matter, Mr. Xie?"
"Go through the entrustment auction procedures for Luo Tian."
This is not the most important thing. Luo Tian looked at the time: "Brother Xie, can you tell Tiancang Company that I will send this lot over, probably around eight o'clock."
"Yes, yes, but..." Xie Ming had some questions: "Why can it be sent over in the afternoon after the formalities are completed at night?"
"This..." Luo Tian was speechless for a moment: "Brother Xie, don't ask, I have my own reasons. Let's make an appointment at eight o'clock in the evening."
"Okay, no problem." Luo Tian is a reliable person, so he must have a reason. Xie Ming didn't ask any more questions, and immediately called. Shen Tiancang was naturally happy when he heard that another rare ancient pottery had been put into storage.
, no doubt it existed, and readily agreed.
Luo Tian patted his chest. He would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. He was just an appraiser, not a battle-tested agent. If taking a risk could save Xie Ming and himself from future troubles and make this auction more perfect, then
worth.
Time passed little by little. During dinner, Luo Tian unexpectedly had an appetite. He Pingwei was dumbfounded. Luo Tian looked like someone born with bulimia: "Luo Tian, don't eat."
Aren't you afraid of nausea after you're done?"
Luo Tian's mouth was full, he shook his head and nodded again.
"What do you mean, Luo Tian, why are you acting a little weird today?" Even Chen Xiaoying felt that something was not right about Luo Tian today, and there was a mysterious energy about him.
"It's okay. Hurry up and finish eating. I have to go to Tiancang." The ring box in his pocket reminded him that something was unusual. As time passed bit by bit, Luo Tian finally felt like going to the execution ground.
The feeling was gone, and he could only eat desperately to suppress the tension in his heart.
