Chapter 21 Antique Market

Zhuang Rui put his daughter down from his shoulders. She was very well-behaved. She climbed onto the chair with great effort and then said childishly: "Happy New Year to uncle rogue. I wish you a happy New Year." She really did.

I kowtowed and almost fell off my chair.

Liu Chuan didn't care that Nannan was calling "Uncle Rogue". He was overjoyed at the moment. He held Nannan in his arms with one hand and grabbed a handful of one hundred bills from the drawer with the other hand. He didn't even count them and stuffed them into his arms.

He put it into the small satchel on Nannan's clothes, and shouted: "Hey, dear girl, you can choose whatever you want in my store. After you have chosen, your uncle will send it to your home. But Nannan, how can you climb on the chair?"

Would you like to wish your uncle a happy New Year?"

Now Nannan looked at the small animals in the store, her eyes were exhausted, and she answered the question unintentionally: "Uncle said that if Nannan kowtows to the gangster uncle, she will get money. If Nannan has money, she can buy White Rabbit milk candies. Mom always

Don’t give it to my daughter to eat. My daughter is wearing new clothes. If they get dirty on the floor, my mother will scold her.”

"Forget it, except for the bastards in your store, they are all beasts. I don't want my niece..."

Zhuang Rui was joking from the side, but Liu Chuan's business was really good right now. Within five minutes of coming in, several couples who looked like they were in love bought a few turtles and hamsters. What surprised Zhuang Rui slightly was,

These few inconspicuous gadgets were sold for thousands of yuan, and the pair of golden mice were sold for 600 yuan. Zhuang Rui couldn't help but shout profiteers in his heart.

"What are you looking at everywhere? Let me tell you, Lei Lei and Qin Xuanbing are coming to help later. Hey, although that woman is a little cold, her appearance is really stunning. Are you really not tempted?" Liu Chuan

Putting the girl on the ground, she was greeting the guests while keeping her mouth busy.

"Come on, you look like a eldest lady at first glance. You guys can't afford it. Didn't they say they left Pengcheng on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year? By the way, gangster, you take my daughter to play for a while, and I'll go out for a walk...".

Zhuang Rui said casually, seeing that the niece who had been pestering him for several days finally put her mind elsewhere, Zhuang Rui was going to go to the antique market for a stroll. As for Qin Xuanbing, Zhuang Rui knew that she didn't like him very much and was too lazy to do so.

Go for a warm face and a cold butt.

"I don't know. Lei Lei called and said that he would leave in a few days. You can go to the market, but come back early. I have something to discuss with you." Liu Chuan waved his hand, signaling Zhuang Rui to go and come back early.

*********************

Pengcheng has been one of the nine states in the world since ancient times. It is a place with profound historical and cultural deposits. In particular, Han culture has left a deep imprint on this city. Collections of cultural relics from the Han Dynasty and even earlier can often be encountered in Xuzhou. This is also

Pengcheng people are proud of it. Perhaps because of this, collecting has become a joy in the lives of many Pengcheng people, with happiness and loss happening one after another.

The place where Zhuang Rui is located is the most concentrated type of collections in Pengcheng City, and it is also the most lively place. It is a good place for almost all collectors in this ancient city to shop for treasures and hang out. It is a place where opportunities and traps coexist, happiness and loss coexist.

location.

The original collection market was not as big as it is now. At that time, most of the shops were operating in a small park next to it. Later, the popularity of the outside market gradually improved, and now only a small number of stalls and shop owners are adjacent to each other.

They are operating in the park, and the situation doesn't look very good, so most of the shops there have changed to selling fish, insects, flowers and birds.

There are many types of collectibles on the market. It can be said that almost all imaginable collectibles can be found here. As long as collectors pay attention, they will basically not leave empty-handed. Jade, bronze, coins, wood, porcelain

, silverware, miscellaneous items, calligraphy and painting, calligraphy... there are too many types, but perhaps the most distinctive collection of Pengcheng items is the artifacts from the Han Dynasty, such as Han mirrors, Han jars, Han portrait stone rubbings, etc.

Very popular among local and foreign friends in Pengcheng.

There are many shops in the market, but not many specialize in antiques. There are also some shops that are engaged in teahouses, coffee houses and other businesses.

Like many collectible markets in China, there are not too many tourists here on weekdays. Most of them are tourists from out of town. But when it comes to weekends or holidays, it must be another bustling scene. Most of the time it will be like this.

It is generally very crowded. On the one hand, many people have time to come out during weekends and holidays to try their luck and see if they can find satisfactory collections. On the other hand, many small vendors from surrounding areas also come here to buy a newspaper or a piece of flannel.

It also became a counter. If you put up all kinds of old gadgets that are scattered around, you can get a small stool behind to sit on it, and the business will be open.

Although it was still freezing cold, what Zhuang Rui saw in the crowded crowd were all smiling faces filled with festive joy. After careful observation, the majority of people coming and going were young men and women, but

They were just looking around, and rarely stayed in front of a stall for more than a few minutes. Most of the items they bought were handicrafts, and the prices were only 10 to 8 yuan. They were relatively cheap, and they were far from valuable collectibles.

Those who stood or squatted beside the stalls were often middle-aged and elderly people. Some of them were holding magnifying glasses the size of coins. They were carefully screening, and some were negotiating prices with the stall owners.

These talents should be the main consumer force in the collection market.

Lively is lively, Zhuang Rui knows it in his heart, it is better to be careful when taking action. The reason why Yang Wei's father is famous is not because he is rich, but because he has a house full of fakes, often

Yang's father was deceived when people in the circle told stories about the origins of the objects in his hands. He had paid millions in tuition fees these years, but he still hadn't found a way. This was also a problem in their circle.

It was a joke.

In this world, most of the people who drown are those who know how to swim. As for the antique business, those who are slaughtered are those who are half-familiar with antiques. These people often buy ten items, and they can get a lot of them.

If one of them is an old guy, then he is lucky.

The unspoken rule of the collecting industry is that there are both real and fake items. It all depends on the discernment of the buyer. It is not impossible to find old items by digging for gold. It is even more common to accidentally buy new items. So, what exactly is it?

It all depends on the collector's thoughts whether to find a treasure by mistake or to pay for it. For ordinary people, collecting is about eyesight, opportunity, and heartbeat. However, Zhuang Rui feels that he is not in this category.

Zhuang Rui followed the flow of people and strolled slowly around the stalls on both sides of the street. He didn't want to enter those shops, not only because he was cheated on when he entered a shop a year ago, but also when Zhuang Rui was chatting with Uncle De before, he also

I heard him mention that in the antique collecting industry, those who can open a shop usually have regular customers, and they have not been open for three years, and they have been open for three years. The things on the shelves in the store are

, most of them are modern handicrafts, so in these shops in front of you, not to mention that the real products are not displayed on the shelves, just the waiters holding a spittoon and saying that it was used by Emperor Qianlong is also overwhelming.

, Zhuang Rui was too lazy to be unhappy.

Zhuang Rui was more interested in stalls selling calligraphy and paintings. He would often squat for half a day, picking up everything and inspecting it carefully. Those who didn't know better thought he was an expert. He looked at them so carefully, but they didn't know that he wanted to go one by one.

Of course, it takes time to distinguish. After shopping for more than two hours and looking at more than a dozen stalls, Zhuang Rui was surprised not to find anything valuable, and he was slightly disappointed.

"Brother, I have an old guy here. Do you want to take a look?"

Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhuang Rui shook his head and turned around with some disappointment. When he was about to go back, he was suddenly pulled by his sleeve.
