Panjiayuan is a famous place in Kyoto and also a famous antique market.
However, in the eyes of authentic Kyoto people, Panjiayuan is a gathering place for fakes, because 99.9% of the products purchased there are fake...
The back of this place is also used to deceive outsiders and foreigners.
Jiang Siming didn't want to come here at all, but when Xiao Weixi said she wanted to go, he fulfilled her little wish.
It's the end of the year now, and there are a lot of people setting up stalls selling antiques.
As soon as you enter and look around, you will see that there are countless porcelains, antiques, gold, silver, jade, etc.
There is even gambling on stones.
As long as it is related to antiques and jade, you can find it all here.
Jiang Siming looked at a random shop and saw, what a guy, this boss’s stall even had blue and white porcelain from the Ghost Valley of the Yuan Dynasty on display.
He is the only one who has this thing in his house.
But here, if you scan around, almost every stall has one...
"Wow~ Brother Jiang, look at so many antiques. The people here are really rich!"
Dongfang Weixi sighed innocently.
Jiang Siming couldn't laugh or cry. If these things are true, then what she said is indeed right.
"It's all fake, silly girl." Jiang Siming was afraid that she would really be fooled in the future, so he still felt it was necessary to remind her.
"Ah? Really?" Dongfang Weixi scratched his head.
"Let's go in and have a look. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to find the real deal."
Jiang Siming said as he took Dongfang Weixi around Panjiayuan.
As soon as he walked to a stall, Dongfang Weixi became interested in a painting and picked it up to play with.
Jiang Siming asked casually: "How much does this painting cost, boss?"
"Eight hundred thousand!" The boss offered a fixed price.
Jiang Siming almost fell down and pointed at the painting: "Are you sure?"
"That's right." The boss nodded sincerely and said, "This is a painting of a lady from the Tang Dynasty. It has a price but no market."
Jiang Siming almost fainted from laughing. He pointed at the painting and said, "Ladies in the Tang Dynasty still had selfie sticks?"
Isn't that right? On this painting, there are two plump "Tang Dynasty" ladies holding up modern selfie sticks to take pictures. There is also an Ai Feng mobile phone on the stick.
Only then did the boss react and explained awkwardly: "That was because my son naughtily gave me the bag."
Jiang Siming nodded, then pointed to an 'ancient painting' of a bird falling on a branch and asked: "How much is this painting?"
"580,000! Fixed price."
Jiang Siming laughed again because the little bird on the branch was obviously the big-headed bird in the game "Angry Birds"...
Not only that, the boss also has an ancient painting of the three sworn sworn sworn portraits of Liu Guan and Zhang Guan Yu, a picture of Chang'e sending mooncakes to Yu Hangyue, and a precious album of Li Shimin smoking cigars...
etc.
Anyway, as long as you can’t think of it, there is nothing the boss can’t do here.
This boss must be so ambitious, he dares to sell this thing for hundreds of thousands a piece.
"Let's go, girl, let's find another one." Jiang Siming didn't intend to continue wrangling with the boss.
"Yeah." Weixi put down the painting and started to leave.
But the boss quickly shouted: "Don't leave, buddy. If you think it's expensive, we can talk about it slowly. I haven't opened yet today, so I'll give you a cheaper price."
"How cheap can it be?" Jiang Siming asked funnyly.
"Then you offer a price. How much do you think is appropriate?"
"I won't open it because I'm afraid you won't sell it."
"You can open it, you can open it, if you dare to open it, I will sell it!"
"Ten yuan." Jiang Siming said casually.
"Okay, I'll sell it!"
Jiang Siming: "...."
In the end, Jiang Siming spent ten yuan to buy a selfie painting of a lady, and he agreed, so it would be a bad idea if he didn't buy it.
Later, when he was paying for it, the boss saw Jiang Siming drop a one-yuan coin and immediately put it into his pocket.
Then...he gave Jiang Siming a precious album of pictures of Li Shimin smoking a cigar, saying that he would buy two paintings for 11 yuan, and Jiang Siming would make a lot of money.
In this way, Jiang Siming continued to wander around Panjiayuan with two "ancient paintings".
Jiang Siming asked Xiaoxian to scan every stall he passed by. Good guy, they are all fakes...
Jiang Siming finally understood why he couldn't see a single local customer here, they were all foreigners.
The key is that when the bosses at other stalls saw Jiang Siming buying something, they all thought Jiang Siming was a fat sheep ready for slaughter, and they tried to sell him things one after another.
Dongfang Weixi, who was following Jiang Siming, had already laughed so hard that he almost fainted.
Jiang Siming is so heart-broken. He is the richest man in the world, and he was defrauded of his money. It’s amazing~
Dongfang Weixi couldn't bear that Jiang Siming continued to be treated like a fat sheep and all the vendors in Panjiayuan stared at her with drooling eyes, so she said she had finished watching it.
In fact she has been laughing for half an hour...
"Okay, okay, let's go." Jiang Siming was eager to leave quickly. He threw these two paintings away as soon as they were out. He was so angry!
However, just as the two of them were walking back, a stone on a stall made Jiang Siming stop.
Jiang Siming could tell at a glance that there was something in this stone.
"Boss, how can I sell this stone?" Jiang Siming went over and asked.
"Two hundred thousand!"
Jiang Siming turned around and left, but the boss quickly stopped him: "Brother, how much can you offer?"
"Fifty dollars."
"Brother, this is gambling. I can't even make fifty yuan, so I might as well add a little extra."
Jiang Siming said nothing and continued to turn around and walk away.
"Okay, okay, I'll sell, I'll sell!"
In this way, Jiang Siming walked towards the exit of Panjiayuan with two ancient paintings and an ugly stone.
The vendors who passed by looked at Jiang Siming and snickered. Today, a fool from out of town came to the garden.
Before Jiang Siming went out, he opened the stone in front of a stone cutting stall.
What came out made the whole Panjiayuan excited, because Jiang Siming opened a piece of top-grade glass jade, worth tens of millions of dollars!
After the stone vendor heard about it, he seemed to have a blood pressure attack and was sent to the hospital...
Jiang Siming found his own Qingyuan Jewelry branch and had the jadeite made into a jade pendant. After it was made, he gave it to Xiao Weixi.
Regardless of her polite refusal, he forced her to hang up.
If Jiang Siming really wanted to, he could completely copy the plots in those stone gambling novels and go to the stone gambling market to make a lot of money.
It's just that this little money gambling on stones is really a waste of time for Lao Jiang now.
Throughout the day, Jiang Siming took Xiao Weixi to various famous places and attractions in the capital in addition to Wangfujing and Panjiayuan.
They had so much fun that they didn't go home until night.
On the way back in the car, Xiao Weixi was tired and sleepy. She lay in Jiang Siming's arms and fell asleep quickly.
When she returned to Zhonghai and the car parked outside her yard, Xiao Weixi didn't even feel it.
Jiang Siming couldn't bear to wake her up, so he simply picked her up and walked into the house.
