Yanjing has three major antique markets, namely Liulichang, Panjiayuan and Baoguo temple.
Liulichang is like a professional. In the past, when cultural relics and national treasures could be traded normally, there was no shortage of bulk trading.
Collectors from all over the world have gathered here one after another, just like daring to go to the market to wash away Chinese cultural relics one by one. The treasure from the Forbidden City also flows to the people.
Later, the state banned the sale of cultural relics, which gradually became lifeless. Now it has become a formal cultural market, mostly settled by big brands.
Pan Jiayuan is different. He is more like a mud leg. Because in the past, it was a second-hand market. Later, from selling old clothes and furniture, it gradually became an antique stationery.
It is often rumored that someone spent hundreds of dollars to carry away a real porcelain from here during the reign of Kangxi. It is also rumored that the curator of the Museum came to Panjiayuan and found that several pottery figurines looked like martyred figurines. After several verifications, it was determined that it was genuine, so it bought in large quantities.
But who knows the more you buy, when you ask the merchant, they say you have as much as you want. It's suspicious. The curator made an undercover investigation. Only then did he know that there was an old clay craftsman living at the peace gate. The pottery figurines made by others were almost unreal. After all, it's a fake.
So pan Jiayuan's things are indistinguishable from true and false. It used to be better, but now it's even better to pick one out of a thousand.
Baoguo temple, let alone the small circle of old Yanjing people. The stall is not big, but the play is unique. The old men carry a birdcage and hum songs. They walk around every day and order back for dinner. They enjoy it.
Xiao Yan also has a little eyesight, but as soon as he came in from the door of Panjiayuan, he was dazzled by the stalls on the ground, the shops on the street and countless treasures.
Finally, everything is true and everything is false. Xiao Yan knew that he was still much worse in this regard.
Xiao Yan didn't call the fat man, but asked someone. He wanted to know if the fat man was really famous here.
"You say fat Lord, Nuo, the big facade next to it says Jing Baozhai." the vendor is very enthusiastic and points out the way to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan thought that the fat man really had a name. He said thank you and wanted to go.
But the peddler said, "look at you, you must have been slaughtered by the fat Lord. The boy knows to cheat people. He won't give you a good face if you don't get angry with him later."
Come on, fat man, look at your character!
Xiao Yan didn't listen to the peddler's nagging and walked quickly.
It's really a big store. There are two stone lions at the door. The decoration is antique and goes inside through the glass. There are all kinds of Tang tricolor, blue and white porcelain and enamel bottles.
Of course, it's 100% fake.
Push the door in, and there is a welcoming girl with good figure and good appearance at the door. She looks very happy in her red cheongsam.
After seeing Xiao Yan, he bent down and said welcome. Then he asked, "what would you like to see, sir?"
"I'll look around, don't worry about me!" Xiao Yan thought, these two guys are quite corrupt. Look, there's another little sister making tea next to him. It's evil enough.
The fat man turned his back to Xiao Yan and was bragging with a buyer. He didn't see Yue Wuyou.
The fat man picked up a string of Dao coins, which was the whole set of Western Zhou currency given to them by Xiao Yan. Pointing to it, he began to boast.
"Brother, you don't know how much effort I wasted to get this thing out. It was really a trip in front of the gate of hell. The continuous bead flying crossbow was like rain and went head on. At the critical moment, it was my fat master who blocked it with a diamond umbrella..." fat Zi boasted that he wanted to put what he said into heaven and earth and could do anything.
Obviously, the man was also a regular customer. He smiled and said, "fat man, don't fool me. The mechanism of the Western Zhou Dynasty can still be used? You think I haven't seen the documentary, haven't you?"
"Shit, do you know why it can be used? Because people use gold and jade as axes. The mechanism can be used for thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years." the fat man said seriously.
This bluffed the man, swallowed his saliva and said, "this is the first time I've heard, but even if gold and jade are used as axes, it should be Lord Yue who opens the King Kong umbrella. Your boy is at most a burden!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Do you like to buy it or not? I'll take it to Robert. He made an offer this morning." the fat man said he was going to take it back, looking angry.
The man has a lot of baldness on his head, but he doesn't look very old. He is well dressed and looks like a rich man.
Seeing the fat man recycling, he quickly pressed it and said, "don't worry, fat master. Aren't we talking? Otherwise, we'll catch it under the table?"
People who buy antiques sometimes ask for prices directly for fear of hurting their face and being listened to by others. So there is such a reason to catch hands in private.
Now, in addition to the antique market, this way of catching hands can be seen occasionally when buying and selling animals in the village.
In fact, it's just to catch a few fingers and touch how much it means. It's very simple, but it's very mysterious.
The fat man stretched out his hand first. After the bald man touched it, he turned and left.
The fat man quickly pulled it and motioned for the bald man to give his hand. As soon as the man made a move, the fat man immediately wanted to take the baby.
Xiao Yan almost didn't laugh when he saw it. Fat man is really fussy about his business.
The two men were caught for a long time. Finally, the bald man was worn out of patience. He patted the table and said, "OK, I won't toss about it. Let's take this price."
"Le Le, do you pay by credit card or cash? Otherwise, we will have Alipay and WeChat." after the fat man talked about it, the face was laughing, and the honor of a dishonest businessman.
Finally, the man swiped the card. Xiao Yan looked at a long string of numbers and knew that he had sold it at a hard price. I'm afraid it would be no less than millions.
He is also secretly surprised. Why is Pan Jiayuan so cruel? He only sees people walking along the way. It is rare to see successful business. But when people make a deal, it's such a big deal. No wonder Panjiayuan's annual turnover is billions, even tens of billions.
After the man left, the fat man got up to send him off. Then he saw Xiao Yan.
"Oh, my grass, isn't this the ninth master?" the fat man exclaimed, startling everyone in the store. Then he rushed up, hugged Xiao Yan with a bear, and gave a mouthful on Xiao Yan's cheek.
Xiao Yan had a feeling of nausea and vomiting!
The man said hello to the fat man and left happily with his bag.
The girls around are silly. The fat man has little reaction. Only when Yue Wuyou hasn't seen him for many days will he come to such a warm hug.
"Who is this man? Have you heard of the fat manager?"
"No, I don't know, but... How handsome!"
"You see, I still hold it. How can the fat manager have such a hobby?"
"Alas, it's a pity that such a handsome young man was ruined by the fat manager."
The two girls whispered beside him. Xiao Yan had sensitive ears, but he heard it and kicked the fat man away.
"Shit, you haven't brushed your teeth for months?" Xiao Yan quickly wiped his cheek.
The fat man laughed and said, "isn't it exciting to see you?"
"Yue Wuyou?" Xiao Yan hurriedly asked for fear of being attacked by the fat man.
"Watch me summon!" the fat man opened the window, poked out his brain and opened his mouth suddenly. "Yue Wuyou, your grandson, come back quickly and the ninth master will arrive!"
Everyone is sweating!
