Looking back on everything that happened at Xiaonanmen, it was really endless laughter.
After parking the car, Chen Xiang handed over a mask.
Seeing the mask, Lu Fei was extremely depressed.
I think back on, I was just a rag collector.
A tricycle, dressed in ragged clothes, roaming the streets and countryside of Bianliang City.
At that time, I suffered countless glares, but I felt free.
I will be very happy when I make more money.
When you get a treasure, you can be excited for days.
Nowadays, even though I am rich, I still have to wear a mask even when I go to the market.
In contrast, Lu Fei prefers himself when he was collecting rags.
Experience the daily necessities of life, and feel the warmth and coldness of the world. That’s what life is.
When you enter the market, you can see that the overall structure is exactly the same as last year, and the number of retail investors is also about the same.
Lu Fei even had some impressions of several retail stall owners.
It's been a long time since he visited an antique market. Seeing familiar scenes and breathing in his favorite smell, Lu Fei felt relaxed and happy.
Looking around, Lu Fei immediately got into his own rhythm and began to stride between the stalls.
This will make several ladies very worried.
"Brother Fei, please slow down."
"We are going to the market, not rushing to be reincarnated, okay?"
"That's right."
"You see, people are just walking around slowly. Look carefully, what are you doing?"
"It's just perfunctory for us."
The two girls protested strongly, and Lu Fei slowed down.
"It's not that I'm fast, it's that the market is too big."
"If you stroll around slowly like they do, how long will it take you to finish visiting the market?"
"I believe in your brother Fei's eyesight. I won't miss something good," Lu Fei said.
"That's not OK!"
"What we want is the feeling of shopping."
"Does it feel good?" Song Xiaojiao protested again.
"All right!"
"Then I'll accommodate you." r> Lu Fei slowed down his pace, held Niu Niu's hand and started shopping slowly.
"Niuniu!"
"Today is a rare internship opportunity for you. If you see something you think is valuable, you can point it out to me."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Master will help you answer it."
Although Niuniu's learning speed is astonishingly fast, she has very few opportunities to practice.
For this industry, practical experience is more important than knowledge.
Niuniu nodded.
"Master, I remember."
"I just saw a copper kettle, it seems to be an old item."
"oh?"
"What kind of copper kettle are you talking about?"
"Thick bottom, big belly, straight spout."
"The copper kettle has a domed lid, and there is a copper chain on the lid, which is connected to the handle of the pot."
"What period do you think that object is from?" Lu Fei asked.
"Master, I just learned the history of Ming Dynasty."
"Looking at the style, that copper kettle does not conform to the style of the pre-Ming Dynasty."
"I dare to make a judgment. It should be an object from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China." Niu Niu said.
"oh?"
"What is the basis for your judgment?"
"Paste."
"That copper kettle is a teapot, and it's the kind that's often used."
"Due to the temperature difference and the frequency of use, the shape and thickness of the patties are slightly different."
"I judge that the copper pot's coating should be about a hundred years old." Niu Niu said.
"How can you be sure that the coating of the copper kettle is not artificially aged?"
Niuniu nodded seriously.
"I don't think it's artificial."
"There are more than a dozen dents of different sizes on one side of the copper pot."
“The thickness of the patina in the depression varies.
, This shows that the time of collision is different."
"If it is artificially aged, the coating of the entire pot body should be very even."
"Then can't the experts make the details of the depressions perfect after careful study?" Lu Fei asked.
Niu Niu waved her little hands and said seriously.
"probably not."
"This copper kettle is not worth much."
"Even old items from the Republic of China period are not worth much."
"It's not worth it to put in so much effort for such a worthless thing."
“After all, making things old also takes time and cost!”
After listening to Niuniu's words, Lu Fei showed a satisfied smile.
"Master, am I right?"
"Completely correct."
"I'll ask your wife to buy the copper pot back later, and I'll give it to you as a reward and souvenir."
"Thank you, Master!"
The two men talked so much in a hazy manner that the three girls fainted.
"its not right!"
"We walked all the way, why didn't I see the copper kettle that Niuniu mentioned?" Song Xiaojiao said.
"Yes, it's at the very edge of booth No. 11," Niu Niu said.
"But we didn't stop there at all, how could you girl look so carefully?"
Lu Fei chuckled.
"That's the difference between the professionals and you."
"If you don't have this ability, how can you be worthy of being my disciple?"
"vomit'
"show off!"
After shopping for more than half an hour and visiting one-third of the retail stalls, Lu Fei still made no move.
Not only did they not take action, they didn't even stop. Now the two girls were getting a little impatient.
"Brother Fei!"
"We are here to pick up the leak, why don't you take action?"
"That's right, it's not fun at all. .”
The two girls protested, and Chen Xiang also complained.
"We don't mind the value, as long as there is room for a premium, we will be satisfied."
"Yes!"
"At least you can find us something to enjoy first and then we can talk about it!"
"My feet will go numb if I continue shopping like this." Liang Ruyi said.
Lu Fei chuckled.
"Don't worry, it's all in my head."
"Let's finish visiting the retail area first. I'll report the valuable items to you later. You can take Niuniu to bargain and find out the missing items yourself."
"Experiencing the battle of wits and courage with the stall owner in person is much more exciting than being around me."
When Lu Fei explained this, everyone became excited, and their fatigue immediately disappeared without a trace.
After shopping for more than an hour, I finally visited the entire market.
Lu Fei came to sit under the shade of the tree beside the flower bed, lit a cigarette and started counting.
"The copper pot at booth No. 11 is a reward for Niu Niu."
"The reserve price cannot exceed three hundred yuan."
"Okay, I remember."
"There is a brass pipe in booth No. 15. It is an object from the mid-Qing Dynasty and is worth five thousand yuan. You can decide what to do with it yourself."
"okay!"
"There is a Jizhou kiln bowl-type stove in booth No. 29. It is an object from the Ming Dynasty."
"No matter how much the stall owner wants, give him a maximum of three hundred yuan. If you give him too much, the stall owner will wake up."
"understand?"
"As commanded."
"But, what, what is a bowl-type stove?" Song Xiaojiao asked.
"It's the incense burner."
"Have you seen "Journey to the West"?"
"Of course I have."
"The style of the bowl-type furnace is similar to the bowl used by Tang Monk for alms."
"Just remember the stall number, Niuniu will recognize it."
