Hearing the word "report", the middle-aged man's eyes immediately showed a trace of panic color, Bata, Bata, just a few mouthfuls of smoke in his mouth.
Then he threw his cigarette end on the ground and said, "I have such a big jade horse there!" While talking, he compared the size of things.
When Du Hou heard that it was Yuma, he was disappointed, but he knew that he had to take it slowly. If he was in a hurry, he would make a fish out of the net, which was certainly not good for him, so he said:
"OK, if it's really a good thing, I'll give you a satisfactory price. It's better to keep it than to sell it to those unscrupulous merchants..."
At this point, Du Hou chatted with the middle-aged man about Yu Han. At noon, he invited the middle-aged man to eat a bowl of beef noodles. When they finally left, they were brothers.
"Don't worry, brother. I'll call you in a few days and bring it to you..."
Du Hou went home with excitement and joy, and the porcelain pieces were collected by him. The reason is very simple. These porcelain pieces are the famous blue and white of Yuan Dynasty! This kind of thing, even if it's just a few pieces of porcelain, can't be bought for 500 yuan.
And Du Hou thinks that the middle-aged man, even if he is not a native, should have done this business. As for why he thinks that the middle-aged man has good things, there is a reason.
At that time, Du Hou did work in Yuhan for a period of time, and he still keeps in touch with his friends there.
Three years ago, he heard a news from a friend that a group of local Masters had stolen a tomb of the Yuan Dynasty there. Because they didn't negotiate with the buyer, they were reported by the buyer. However, the group got the wind first, only three of them were arrested, and the others fled.
Tu Fu Zi in Yu Han's place is really rampant. When Du Hou went to his friend's place last year, he saw it. Some places were devastated by Tu Fu Zi. Large pits several meters deep can be seen everywhere. There are no remains of ancient tombs in the pits. The whole hill is about to be flattened by Tu Fu Zi.
Besides, Yu Han's local people like to use explosives to deal with hard tombs, which is a common thing. As for shovels and shovels to smash ceramic burial objects, it's even more common.
Because of this, Du Houyi thought of it as soon as he heard that the middle-aged man's accent was Yu Han, and what he took out were pieces of blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty.
So in the next few days, Du Hou stayed at home and didn't go out, just waiting for the person's call.
People who play antiques all have a feeling that when they hear the news of things they like, they will feel like a cat scratching. Du Hou is no exception. These days have been like years. Just when he pessimistically thought that the middle-aged man would not contact him, he happily received his call.
So Du Hou rushed to a teahouse they had made an appointment with and met the middle-aged man he was "haunted by".
After arriving at the teahouse, Du Hou was not in a hurry. He asked the waiter to serve good tea and some delicious snacks. Then he exchanged greetings with the middle-aged man, such as how he was recently and whether his family was good. He was so moved that he had to treat Du Hou as his own relative.
After drinking tea and eating some snacks, the middle-aged man took the jade horse out of the cloth bag.
At the sight of the jade horse ornament, Du Hou was attracted by it. The horse is about 14 cm long, with a vivid look. It has a square mouth, a protruding nose, a flat forehead, a horse's head protruding backward, a fine mane scattered on both sides of the horse's neck, a strong body, a long tail swinging back, and a whole round carving. The face and mane are finely carved with a Yin line.
In Du Hou's opinion, it's a jade of the Yuan Dynasty at a glance, and he thinks that the carving is very exquisite. It's really a rare fine jade of the Yuan Dynasty.
Although at a glance, he thought that the jade horse was very good, but Du Hou knew his own business, and then he took a careful look at all the places of the jade horse. Finally, he thought it was a rare genuine one.
In fact, this is the way to identify antiques. If a thing is genuine in the heart, even if it is a fake in fact, it will be justified in the wrong place. On the contrary, it's the same truth. If you think it's a fake, even if it's a genuine thing, you will regard some places of the genuine as the forger's intention.
Therefore, when identifying antiques, we must be objective and careful, otherwise it is easy to make a wrong judgment. Of course, the premise of all this is that you have to have a corresponding level.
Du Hou quietly put the jade horse down from his hand, raised his head and asked: "brother, how much are you going to sell this thing?"
"Hi! It's all from the local people, brother, just look at it The middle-aged man said casually.
Du Hou waved his hand and said, "it's no good. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. They should pay as much as they should! Just say how much you want to sell! "
The middle-aged man bowed his head and pondered for a long time. Then he gritted his teeth and said with embarrassment: "brother, just ten thousand yuan. What do you think?"Du Hou was very happy to hear the middle-aged man's offer. Although he was not very proficient in jade, he still knew the value. If a jade horse like this went to the auction, it would be worth two or three hundred thousand. So he took ten thousand yuan out of his bag and handed it over.
"Brother, you count, right?"
"Hi! I don't believe you, brother! "
But even so, the middle-aged man dipped his hand in some saliva and began to count the money. At the same time, Du Hou carefully put the things into the brocade box he had prepared in advance.
After a while, the middle-aged man showed his big yellow teeth with a smile and said, "just right!"
"Brother, thank you for bringing me a good thing. I'll buy you a drink!" With that, Du Hou took the middle-aged man's hand and walked out
As the saying goes, no matter what you do, you have to cheat or steal. Du Hou didn't find a good restaurant, so he asked for a private room in a small clean looking restaurant nearby. Then he ordered a large table of dishes, and they began to eat and drink.
Of course, Du Hou is already 70 or 80 years old, and he is unlikely to eat and drink. Only the middle-aged man didn't stop talking during the dinner. Coupled with Du Hou's constant drinking, the middle-aged man soon became confused.
But even so, he just like a long time did not have enough food, keep eating, see Du Hou is straight shaking his head.
Du Hou invited the middle-aged man to eat this meal not only to get him drunk, but also to listen to the truth of the middle-aged man after drinking. However, the middle-aged man's mouth is very firm. Next, Du Hou tried his best to pry his mouth open. He understood the secret of the middle-aged man and confirmed his previous guess.
The middle-aged man said that he did take part in the tomb robbery three years ago. He not only took part in it, but also was one of the main members. Moreover, before he fled, he had three pieces of blue and white porcelain besides the things he had sold to Du Hou.
Hearing the news, Du Hou was excited and overjoyed. He wanted to put the three pieces of blue and white porcelain into his bag immediately.
At the end of the meal, the middle-aged man said with a big tongue: "old Brother, you're the best city dweller I've ever met. My stuff, er Only you
Middle aged man's words, to Du Hou, it's like sleepy pillow, he quickly followed the words and said: "brother, as long as things are good, I will give you a good price! I'll make you a city man then! "
When the middle-aged man heard the five words "become a city dweller", he immediately gave a pep talk. He picked up Du Hou and went straight to the place. As he walked, he said: "go I'll take you to see what a really good thing is
Du Hou's heart was overjoyed, but he didn't drink much wine just now, so he was not so drunk that he would bring a large sum of money to the tufuzi's house.
So he immediately called a friend and asked him to give him a car. Moreover, the driver was trained and could act as a bodyguard. Finally, he temporarily asked his friend to borrow 500000 yuan in cash.
In this way, under the command of the middle-aged man, the driver took two people to the middle-aged man's home.
The middle-aged man drank a lot and ate a lot at noon. He fell asleep for a while and got up for convenience for a while. In the end, because of the bumpy road, the middle-aged man said that he felt sick and wanted to vomit. When he arrived at the middle-aged man's home, it was already dark, and Du Hou was exhausted
The middle-aged man's wife opened the door. At first, she was very enthusiastic. However, when she invited Du Hou and the driver into the door, she heard that they were coming to buy things. She yelled at the middle-aged man and told Du Hou that there was nothing they wanted to buy at home.
When the middle-aged man saw that his wife actually brushed his face in front of the crowd and drank some wine, he immediately became angry and tried to hit her with a fist. The middle-aged man's wife was not willing to be outdone, and she was ready to fight back. Du Hou and the driver had a good time of tugging and persuading, and they were sure to be safe before persuading the couple.
Next, the middle-aged man took out the three blue and white porcelains he said from the inner room, and Du Hou quickly turned his attention to the three porcelains.
At noon, in order to take out the middle-aged man's words, Du Hou had already worked hard. Then there was a bump on the road. Coupled with the quarrel just now, Du Hou was physically and mentally exhausted. Now he just wanted to buy things back early and have a good sleep.
Du Hou tried his best to read all the three pieces of porcelain carefully. With his preconceived ideas, and the fact that there was no problem with these pieces of porcelain, he immediately asked about the price, and the middle-aged man directly quoted 500000 yuan.
Although the price was higher than Du Hou's expectation, he didn't have the energy to wrestle with the middle-aged man now, and even one of the porcelain pieces was worth more than 500000 yuan, so he made a deal as soon as possible. Finally, he made a simple explanation with the middle-aged man and went back in a hurry.
