Antique Street is said to be in Jiangzhou, but in fact it has gone beyond the boundaries of Jiangzhou.
However, people in this area still like to think of themselves as Jiangzhou people, because Jiangzhou is a provincial capital and has a lot of face when talking about it.
Over time, this antique street will also be considered Jiangzhou’s antique street.
Taking a taxi from Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, it took more than forty minutes to reach the destination.
"I didn't expect this antique street to be quite big. However, there don't seem to be many people there?"
Yin Dajing thought that this antique street was just one street, but he didn't expect that it was made up of three parallel streets.
There are many shops and stalls on every street.
However, in such a long three streets, there are only a few people stopping in front of a few stalls, which makes it look particularly deserted.
Fang Tianze explained: "The antiques industry is too deep. People who don't know anything about the industry rarely come here to buy antiques at high prices. There are not many people here all year round. Antique shops generally have three years of openings.
It has been open for three years. In many stores, there may not be many people in it for most of the year. Today is Saturday, so there are still a lot of people."
"Uh...I see..." Yin Dajing secretly said that he had miscalculated. If he had known that there were few people here, he might as well have gone to the department store. There were more people there and more skills that could be copied.
With just a few people, I don’t know if I can copy useful skills.
Another point is that if there are too few people, it will be very awkward for him to come over and copy other people's skills.
"Uncle Master, do you want to see jade, ceramics, calligraphy and painting? I am familiar with the calligraphy and painting shops here, but I have never been to the others."
Fang Tianze likes calligraphy and will come here if he has time.
However, he is not interested in ceramics and jade, so he usually goes straight to calligraphy and painting shops.
"This is my first time here, so I don't have anything specific to do. I just wander around casually. Professor Fang, don't follow me. Find a calligraphy and painting shop to rest by yourself."
On such a hot day, it would be unreasonable for Fang Tianze, an old man in his late seventies, to follow him.
"Okay, then, junior uncle, if you have any instructions, please call me at any time." Fang Tianze said respectfully.
Yin Dajing walked around and took the opportunity to touch a few people, but he couldn't copy any useful skills.
He failed to replicate the skills of antique appreciation, and he could not understand which of these antiques were real and which were fake.
Anyway, in his eyes, these things all looked real.
After walking two streets, he still found nothing.
"It seems like this is a wasted trip." Yin Dajing sighed, walked to the newsstand next to him, and took a bunch of iced black tea, "Boss, how much does it cost?"
"Five yuan." The boss is an old man in his seventies. His beard and hair are white, but he is still very healthy.
"Is it so expensive?" However, Yin Dajing still handed over a ten-dollar bill from his pocket.
When the old man took the money, he accidentally touched Yin Dajing's finger.
"I found the intermediate antique appreciation skill, do you want to copy it?"
"I discovered the skills of counterfeiting elementary antiques, do you want to copy them?"
Damn it!
No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find anything, so it takes no effort to get there!
Even Yin Dajing would never have thought that there would be such a master in the newsstand on this antique street.
Yin Dajing chose to copy without hesitation.
Soon, Yin Dajing had a lot of knowledge about antiques in his mind.
These antiques are mainly divided into four categories: "ceramics", "calligraphy and painting", "jades" and "miscellaneous items".
Ceramics, paintings and calligraphy, and jade are the literal meaning, while miscellaneous items include bamboo, wood, teeth, horns, the four treasures of the study, lacquerware, embroidery, bronzes, Buddha statues, gilt objects, etc., as well as some items that cannot be accurately classified, such as
Ornaments, bracelets, walnuts, etc.
The old man has both the ability to appreciate and the ability to forge, so he is considered to be a good person in this antique field.
The old man was cold and did not like to talk to others. Yin Dajing left after taking the money back.
Afterwards, Yin Dajing returned to the antique street and couldn't help laughing when he looked at the antiques.
The difference between antiques is a thousand miles, and it is difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference.
But at this moment, in Yin Dajing's eyes, the difference between these antiques is really huge. Things that looked very realistic before are now no more than bricks.
"Damn it, I'm speechless. Why are all the things here fake?" Yin Dajing visited several antique stores and looked at a lot of antiques, but there was not a single genuine one.
The key to these things is that the price is extremely expensive, and the price is often tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
"I can fake all these things for you." Yin Dajing shook his head secretly.
Yin Dajing was immediately put off by the price. Even if he was interested in something, he couldn't afford the money.
On the last street, there are slightly more people here, but the stalls are obviously more casual.
Although there are few people on the first two streets, the decoration inside is really unique.
But here, it can only be described as simple and crude.
Some even directly set up street stalls.
Yin Dajing walked to the largest grocery store.
Yes, it's a grocery store.
After walking around three streets, most of the shops are still very specialized, just like calligraphy and painting, they are all about calligraphy and painting, and there are a few other antiques, which are just for decoration.
This grocery store has everything you need, including ancient calligraphy, jade, ancient coins, ceramics, etc.
Different from the antiques in other stores, the prices here are very cheap, most of them are only three to five hundred yuan. Of course, there are also expensive ones, and they are all in there, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Yin Dajing just glanced at it and could see that all of them were fakes.
Counterfeit antiques are also divided into grades. There is no doubt that the fakes here are of the lowest quality. Maybe the boss wholesales them somewhere. The cost of this kind of assembly line product may be only a dozen yuan.
Yin Dajing walked around for a whole time and found nothing of value.
Just as he was about to leave, a middle-aged man walked in from outside the door. He was wearing a ripped straw hat, barefoot, and dressed like a farmer who had just returned from the fields.
"Boss, is the boss here?" He also had a large backpack on his back with a lot of things in it.
"I am the boss." The owner of the store is an old man in his sixties, wearing a white Tai Chi suit. When he saw the middle-aged man, he frowned unabashedly, "What do you want from me?"
The middle-aged man smiled honestly and said: "I dug out some things from the ground. I heard they are antiques. I want to come over and sell them to you. Do you want them?"
As he spoke, he took off the backpack and opened the towel covering it, revealing the antiques inside.
"Wow, come and take a look..." Everyone else in the store was attracted.
Naturally, this also includes Yin Dajing.
However, when Yin Dajing touched the middle-aged man, he was immediately shocked.
"If you find a basic fake skill, do you want to copy it?"
"I found the elementary antique appreciation skill, do you want to copy it?"
"Found basic driving skills, do you want to copy them?"
After Yin Dajing copied the skill, he secretly took a look at his boss, and he immediately understood. Damn it, he was deliberately pretending to be a farmer to join forces. The trick was really deep.
Not to mention, this routine is really effective. The customers in the store are even more interested in the so-called "antiques" brought by farmers.
