Chapter 970 Battle for Gambling Cards (5)
…
"What are you looking at?" Seeing Liu Dong standing at the door and refusing to go in, Jiang Tingting couldn't help but wonder after taking a few glances and finding nothing.
"Haha, the birdcage hanging over there is a good thing!" Liu Dongyi smiled pointedly.
"birdcage?"
Soon, Jiang Tingting also saw the wooden birdcage hanging on a hook at the entrance of the antique shop. The birdcage was made of wood. Although Jiang Tingting could not recognize what kind of wood it was made of, it was extremely beautifully made. It had five rings on the side and a top.
They are all carved with extremely exquisite longevity patterns. Even people who don’t know much about antiques can understand the preciousness of this birdcage.
However, compared to the birdcage, Jiang Tingting prefers the colorful scarlet-breasted parrot on the opposite side!
"Do you two want to buy my parrot?" At this moment, an energetic old man wearing a gray coat walked out of the antique shop, looked at the two of them up and down and asked.
"Yes, old gentleman! My girlfriend likes this parrot very much. I wonder how much it costs?" Liu Dong said with a smile.
However, Liu Dong's words made Jiang Tingting stunned for a moment. When did she tell Liu Dong that she liked the parrot? However, although Jiang Tingting didn't know why she said this, she was also a very smart person. From Liu Dong's words, she knew
Guessing that he had his own plans, he stood quietly by the side without speaking!
"Haha, it's not expensive, only 10,000 Hong Kong dollars!" the old man said with a smile.
"Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars!"
If it were an ordinary person, this price would be enough to make him turn away. Even if the living standards and wages in Hong Kong are higher than those in the mainland, the price of a scarlet-breasted parrot will never exceed HK$5,000!
"Old sir, this price is a bit too high!" Liu Dong shook his head.
Although this amount of money is not even a drop in the bucket to him, Liu Dong still has to pay back the price, otherwise the price will be higher when he buys other things later.
"Not high, not high. All the scarlet-breasted parrots on the antique street are priced at this price now, and mine can also talk!" As he said that, the old man teased the scarlet-breasted parrot in the cage, but he heard the parrot's mouth
Liu Dong's balls hurt when he heard the Cantonese word "Hello" in Cantonese. But fortunately, his target was not this parrot, it was just a way for Liu Dong to achieve his goal!
After hesitating for a while, Liu Dong nodded vigorously: "Okay, ten thousand is ten thousand, but do you want to sell this birdcage to me, otherwise I won't be able to get it?"
"One yard is another yard. The young boy should settle the money to buy this parrot first. We will talk about the birdcage later!"
After the old man finished speaking, Liu Dong was slightly startled when he saw the smile on the other person's face. "Does he know what I want to do?"
But now that he had agreed to the deal, Liu Dong naturally would not regret it, so he happily paid 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.
But what surprised him was that after the old man took his money, he ordered the boy to take out a brand new birdcage from the store and put the scarlet-breasted parrot Liu Dong bought into it!
Seeing this, Liu Dong quickly stepped forward and said: "Old sir, I want the original birdcage, not this one!"
"Haha, this birdcage is given to you for free. The first one is not for sale!"
After looking at the ordinary steel cage that held the scarlet-breasted parrot, and then at the smile on the old man's face, Liu Dong suddenly understood, and then said with a wry smile: "You are really good at it!"
"My little shop just sells this birdcage to make some money!" the old man said with a smile.
Seeing this, Liu Dong didn't know what to say. This time he was hunting geese all day long, but he got pecked in the eye by the geese!
There is a widely circulated joke in the antique world, and most people who are involved in the antique industry have heard it.
An old lady was very scheming. In order to sell cats, she put up a expensive cat food bowl. No one dared to say that they wanted to buy this bowl. They all said that they would buy the old lady’s cat and use this bowl. The old lady said: “I can’t
With this basin, I have to rely on this basin to sell cats."
And this cat food bowl is the famous Qianlong Lord Ru Kiln Narcissus Basin. Emperor Qianlong called it the cat food bowl!
When Liu Dong heard this story at first, he just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart, but today he never expected that he would encounter the same drama.
However, this old man was not selling cats but birds. As a result, Liu Dong, who had only paper experience, fell into the trap almost unprepared.
"It seems that no matter what you develop into a habit, not everything is a good thing!" Liu Dong thought.
In the antique industry, anyone with some experience will generally not buy a good item directly at an antique stall or store. Instead, they will buy other unrelated items as a companion to the item they really want.
Come down, this way, you have no scruples, you can bargain directly with the boss, and you can pick up the slack at a low price!
Liu Dong had done this before, so after encountering this birdcage this time, he was still planning to do it, and naturally he fell into the trap designed by the old man based on his experience in the antique industry.
"You are really good at it! Farewell!"
After taking the birdcage from the old man's hand, Liu Dong took a depressed and reluctant look at the birdcage still hanging at the door of the antique shop. To be more precise, it was the little birdcage in the birdcage that was less than half a hand high and had a mouth no longer than a finger.
cup!
The surface of the cup is as white as jade and is decorated with a series of exquisite and vivid grape patterns!
Even Liu Dong was able to identify this ordinary small cup in the eyes of ordinary people without using the relic Yuanguang as the famous Chenghua Doucai!
Doucai was created during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a decorative variety that combines underglaze color (blue and white) with overglaze color. Chenghua doucai can be divided into point colors, covering colors, dyeing colors, and filling colors.
There are several types. Except for a few large bowls, most of the Chenghua Doucai bowls are small and unique in shape, including cup cups, chicken bowl cups, small handle cups, etc.
Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup can be said to be the pinnacle of Chenghua Doucai!
However, the Chenghua doucai grape pattern cup that Liu Dong saw now is not as outstanding in value as the chicken vat cup, because it only has three to four glaze colors, which are common types in Chenghua doucai, unlike the chicken vat cup.
Cups, five to six glaze colors, even more rich than 'cloisonné', coupled with the outstanding firing process, the quality of the royal kiln is naturally of higher value!
But even so, because it is too rare, any Chenghua doucai cup from the royal kiln is worth thousands of gold. Although this Chenghua doucai grape pattern cup is slightly more valuable than the Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup.
times, but it is also a treasure worth more than 20 million! It is of course a national first-class cultural relic.
So when he saw it again, Liu Dong couldn't wait to buy it, but he fell into the old man's trap.
Ever since he got the relic Yuanguang, Liu Dong has been almost unfavorable, and this loss made him feel particularly depressed!
"Haha, young man, you are welcome to come often in the future. There are still a lot of good things in my store!" the old man said with a smile.
"sure!"
Although he said this, Liu Dong made up his mind and never came again!
Although there are indeed a few antiques in the old man's shop, judging from the experience of buying bird cages just now, it is probably not easy to pick them out from the hands of an experienced and cunning old man.
Looking at Liu Dong who turned around and left with Jiang Tingting, the old man chuckled and shook his head, exclaiming inexplicably: "It's great to be young!"
After leaving the antique store, Jiang Tingting could no longer suppress her curiosity and asked directly: "Liu Dong, what happened just now? I didn't say I wanted to buy this parrot?"
Liu Dong originally didn't want to tell Jiang Tingting such an embarrassing thing, but seeing the other party's attitude of asking for answers, Liu Dong had no choice but to briefly explain the whole story.
"Hehe, haha...!"
Seeing Jiang Tingting laughing, Liu Dong said angrily: "Is it that funny? This is your husband and I have suffered a big loss. As my wife, shouldn't you comfort me first?"
"Pooh!"
The pretty and blushing Jiang Tingting spat at Liu Dong and scolded: "Who is your wife? I haven't said I want to marry you yet, you big radish!"
The naturally beautiful Jiang Tingting's blushing face made her even more gorgeous, and Liu Dong, who was about to move in his heart, couldn't help but stop her slender waist, and whispered softly but firmly: "You gave me all your body, this
She is destined to be my wife for the rest of her life, and she cannot escape even if she wants to!"
Facing Liu Dong's affectionate gaze, Jiang Tingting felt sweet in her heart but still refused to admit defeat, "That's not necessarily true! And even if I am willing, there are still my parents and grandfather! When you convince them too, then...!"
"
Jiang Tingting paused and didn't say any more, but the meaning was already obvious!
But what made her angry was that when she had just finished speaking and before she had thought about how to continue, Liu Dong had already let go of her waist with a soft "eh", walked to the antique stall on the side and bent down.
Check it out.
"This bad guy, bastard, a philandering carrot!" Liu Dong's willfulness and incomprehensible style immediately made Jiang Tingting, who was immersed in the fantasy of a better future, furious!
However, there were people coming and going on the antique street, and her natural beauty attracted the attention of everyone around her all the time, so Jiang Tingting did not do anything extraordinary. She just walked to Liu Dong and quietly used her small jade hands to
He reached to Liu Dong's waist, grabbed the flesh and then made a 360-degree spin!
"Oh, please be merciful, my aunt!" The pain in his waist immediately made Liu Dong turn around and say with a grin on his face.
"snort!"
Miss Jiang, who had bristled eyebrows, snorted coldly, then slowly withdrew her little hand, "Let's see if you dare to do this again next time?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly. Compared with the gentle Wang Qiang, this Miss Jiang is really difficult to serve! But this is also her fault. Women are emotional animals. When the other party is deeply in love,
Who told me to be attracted by antiques?
