When they reached the end of the alley, a few people turned a corner and were all stunned. Originally, the alley outside looked particularly deserted, but there was something different inside.
It was a lively scene. Both sides of this alley were filled with stalls of all kinds, large and small, and the shops on both sides were also all kinds of antique shops.
"Dad, it looks like this place looks like an antique street in the capital. It looks like it has everything!" Qin Fen couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
In fact, Wen Tong also had a look of astonishment on his face. He stared at this lively scene for a while, then nodded and said: "Yeah, I didn't expect that I haven't contacted my hometown for so many years, and I didn't expect that it would turn out like this...
…”
"Haha, the antique business in a small county town is so prosperous. This also shows that Yuangu County is also an ancient city with a long history."
Qin Fen smiled lightly and said.
"You are right. It is said that Yuangu County has produced many historical celebrities. From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, some of them held important positions in the imperial court!"
"So, many tomb robbers sprang up later on. I have to say that a lot of treasures were indeed produced from Yuangu County, and the brush washer that made me rich was actually sold to me by the tomb robbers!"
"At first I was only thinking about getting rich, but I was blinded by lard... Alas, later my wife and children left me early because of this. If I hadn't met you, I would have died long ago."
Qin Fen heard these words clearly and knew what they meant. It was because Wen Tong collected things that he shouldn't have collected, which led to his wife and children passing away. Fortunately, he met him and he was saved from death.
One difficulty.
"Dad, these are all things in the past. Don't talk about it anymore. Today is a return trip to the old place. Let's go shopping in this antique street together and see who can find some treasures."
Qin Fen showed a smile as he spoke.
"Haha, if I compete with you in terms of eyesight, it would be weird if I didn't lose. But today I'm also interested, so let's compete!" Wen Tong laughed in a rare way.
"Well, then let's go hunting for treasures in our godfather's hometown!"
While talking, Qin Fen supported Wen Tong alone and walked towards the lively crowd.
To be honest, everything is sold in this antique street, old books and newspapers, old radios and tape recorders, all kinds of things...
It might be more appropriate to call it a flea market, but think about it, every antique street is not like this. Besides, only old things can be called antiques.
"There are a lot more things here now than when I was there, and the variety is quite rich. It's really no less than the antique street in the capital!"
Looking at the dazzling array of things on the stalls, Wen Tong couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, but at first glance, it seems that it is either worthless for collection or old. It seems that there are really no good things!"
Qin Fen said with a smile.
"Aren't all antique streets like this? Nowadays, good things are hard to come by, and your eyesight is what you eat, so you must look carefully!"
As he spoke, he smiled at Qin Fen and continued walking forward.
"Look at this bowl of mine. It's a genuine item from the Xuande official kiln. If you like it, give me five thousand yuan and take it away."
Just after the two of them took a few steps forward, they heard someone say excitedly in front of a stall.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Fen and Wen Tong couldn't help but look at each other and subconsciously looked towards the stall.
I saw a middle-aged man with a beard, holding a blue and white bowl in his hand, speaking impassionedly to the guests opposite.
“Boss, you don’t look like you’re from Xuande Official Kiln, do you? It looks so bulky?!”
The person squatting opposite looked to be in his forties, holding a black handbag and wearing a suit. He looked like a wealthy man.
"Brother, take a closer look. The texture, the color of the glaze, and the knowledge are from a serious Xuande official kiln. To tell you the truth, if my family wasn't in a hurry for money, I wouldn't have sold it so cheaply!
"
The boss looked at the man and immediately looked pitiful and helpless.
"Don't treat me like a stick. It's not my first day shopping at the antique street. I can still tell if something is real or fake!" the man in a suit said seriously.
The bearded man rolled his eyes and immediately said with a smile: "Which one of the people here is a stick?! To put it bluntly, it all depends on your eyesight. If you still don't believe me after all I have said, then there is nothing you can do!"
"In this way, you can take another look and think about it, but don't wait too long, otherwise it will be bought by other customers if it is not preserved!"
As the bearded man spoke, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Qin Fen and Wen Tong. He knew that there was another business coming up.
The man in the suit ignored the other party's words and kept his eyes on the so-called Xuande Bowl, looking at it over and over again from the inside out.
Qin Fen looked at the man in a suit and couldn't help but smile. Needless to say, this man was a stickler. It seemed like he had to pay tuition today.
There are many rules in the industry. When people are talking, bystanders must not interrupt, so even if this person pays tuition, there is nothing Qin Fen can do to help him.
"Boss, let's do this. I want this bowl for three thousand yuan!"
Hearing this, the corners of the bearded man's mouth moved obviously, but the other party did not see this scene at all.
"You are too cruel. If you really want it, the four thousand yuan will be yours. If it is cheaper, I won't be able to sell it."
"Three thousand eight!!"
"Okay, then it's three thousand eighty. I'm really convinced by you. I'll lose all three thousand eighty."
"Haha, boss, how can you do business at a loss? It's just that you make less money. Next time I have good things, I will come to your house to buy them!"
The man in the suit seemed to be very satisfied with the price. As he spoke, he had already put the bowl in the box and took out 3,800 yuan in cash from his bag.
"Okay, I'm just here to cheer you up. If I have something good, I will keep it for you. Please put it away. Now we have both money and goods." Bearded Beard took the money and hurriedly put it away.
"Well, the money and goods are clear!"
After saying that, the man in a suit held the box and hurried towards the crowd, looking like he had picked up a treasure.
"hehe……"
At this time, Qin Fen couldn't help but laugh.
The bearded man had noticed these two people for a long time, but according to his opinion, these two people were not experts, especially Zhang Shuanzhu and Xiaoling were followed behind them. They seemed to be rich people who came out to have fun.
"Guys, take a look at what I have here. You can get whatever you want!"
"As you can see, that person just got a treasure from me."
The bearded man had already begun to introduce with a smile.
"Haha, boss, you met a stick today, you must have made enough, right?!" Qin Fen took a step forward, glanced at the stall lightly, and said with a smile.
"Brother, what do you mean by this?!"
The bearded man's smile froze, and he immediately said a little unhappy.
"Haha, why did the boss ask me to say it out loud? That bowl probably won't even cost twenty yuan, right?!" Qin Fen laughed again.
"What do you mean by that?! How much I charge has nothing to do with how much I sell. This business relies on eyesight. Besides, my bowl is a fine product from the Xuande official kiln. He made a lot of money."
"Haha, if it is really a Xuande official kiln, the price should start at least several million!" At this time, Wen Tong also said with a smile.
When the bearded man heard this, he couldn't help but look at Qin Fen and Wen Tong again, but no matter how he looked at it, these two people didn't look like insiders.
"If you don't want to buy something, don't block here. If you want to buy something, just look around!" The man's tone became a little stiff.
"Haha, there's nothing interesting about it! Let's go somewhere else!"
Wen Tong said something to Qin Fen, and then wanted to move forward.
"What do you mean?!" Beardbeard was unhappy for a moment and said coldly: "Are you deliberately destroying my place?!"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Fen stopped abruptly, glanced at the other party with cold eyes and said: "Is there anything wrong with your mind?! Who messed with you?!" (To be continued)
