Chapter 34 Incense Burner
Li Mingchao glanced at the old man, feeling very happy in his heart: "I really answered a word, treasures are only kept by the virtuous, and this kind of person deserves not to miss them!"

Fang Hao smiled. He also felt that the old man was completely greedy for small profits and neglected righteousness. If the old man had not wronged him and took the string for appraisal, he would surely find out that he had missed it sooner or later. How could it be like this now? The money he paid was nothing Loss, a big leak so missed for nothing.

In fact, he could have lowered the price at that time, and the old man would definitely agree to it in the end, but he didn't do so, for fear of being pried away by others.Anyway, I made a lot of money, so don't worry about such a little gain or loss.

"How did you find out that it was genuine?" Li Mingchao was a little curious about this.

Fang Hao smiled and said: "At that time, I was also worried that I was wrong. Could it be baked color, but the baked color beeswax, the texture and color are hard and unnatural, and the color is uniform and the artificial traces are obvious. But the bracelet on that bracelet The color of the texture is consistent with the color of the wax, and each piece of beeswax in a string of beeswax is unique, even the distribution of honey on the same beeswax is different, but the transition is harmonious, so I believe it is genuine.

In fact, in the final analysis, the authenticity of the bracelet is too obvious, and it feels different once it is in your hand. If it were you, you would also be able to conclude that it is genuine. "

Li Mingchao said with a smile: "I am not as kind as you. I would think of helping that old man. This kind of heart will be rewarded."

Fang Hao said: "I happened to be in my position. When I saw that person falling towards me, I subconsciously went to support him. I believe that normal people would do this. As for what happened later, it was an individual. Behaviors cannot be generalized. If I encounter an elderly person in an accident in the future and needs help, the helper will definitely help. "

Li Mingchao said with a smile: "Then you have to keep the evidence well. If someone wants to blackmail you, there is also evidence."

The two chatted and strolled. Along the way, Fang Hao found that there were people looking at him strangely at the beginning, probably because the previous incident had been spread, and he didn't care so much. He didn't care what others thought, and he did it himself Just do it yourself.

As time went by, Li Mingchao also made several gains, among which he picked up a small leak.

Nowadays, it is rare to make tens of millions of dollars at once, but it is still possible to encounter such small mistakes as buying something for 5000 yuan and reselling it for [-] yuan. In fact, the key is the word "channel".

Li Mingchao is also satisfied with this. As a veteran who started playing antiques in junior high school, his mentality is already very peaceful. He is also envious of Fang Hao's big leak, but he won't take it too seriously.

After a while, Li Mingchao bought a Jianzhan, but Fang Hao was not very optimistic about this Jianzhan.

"What do you think is the problem?"

Fang Hao thought for a while: "It doesn't feel very good, and the soles of the feet are wrapped too tightly, and it's a bit trying to cover up."

Li Mingchao understood the meaning of this sentence: "Do you think it may be the bottom line?"

"Yes, but the glaze on the bottom foot is usually very new, and there is no sign of aging at the junction of the tire glaze, and the old and the new are not excessive, which seems very uncoordinated. This one is very natural, and it doesn't look like it. " Fang Hao was very puzzled by this, but his eyesight was only at this level, and he couldn't see more.

Li Mingchao was silent for a moment, then said with a smile: "Whatever it is, the price is not expensive anyway, so it's easy to drill the eye. I'll go to my uncle to have a look and ask his opinion."

"Alright, if you have news later, remember to tell me."

No matter how many stalls there are, when they finished shopping, the two walked to the end and looked around. There was only one stall with an incense burner and a few pieces of old porcelain on it.

The owner of the stall is a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He doesn't seem to know anything about antiques.

Li Mingchao was more interested in one of the porcelains, so he picked it up and looked at it.

The stall owner enthusiastically struck up a conversation: "Brother, you have good eyesight. This is a serious Ming Dynasty Jiajing gourd bottle. I just received it from an old lady in the country. It hasn't opened yet. If you want it, I will give it to you." It's cheaper for you!"

Li Mingchao agreed with the stall owner without saying a word, while Fang Hao picked up the incense burner.

There is a "Xuande Nianzhi" under this incense burner, but the wall of the furnace is too thin, and it doesn't weigh much in the hand, but the patina looks quite natural. He judges that it is a product of the Republic of China period, and the collection value is not high.

Li Mingchao didn't pay attention to the gourd bottle, got up and said, "It's almost time for shopping, let's go back."

Fang Hao nodded. He has gained a lot today, and he also picked up a big leak of 40 yuan. It is no longer a problem to complete the task of "Treasure of the Town Store", which made him feel lucky.

It's just that he felt something was wrong again, and after thinking about it again, he realized, what's the matter with the luck value?When I came out today, I clearly saw that it was 2 o'clock, and it is still 2 o'clock now. The luck value of picking up mistakes last time was much higher.

It seems that this luck value is just a probability. 2 points may be a 20.00% chance of encountering good things. As for whether this 20.00% will happen, only God knows.

Fang Hao thinks this should be the case, but he is most troubled by such things as probability, so he is really too lazy to think about it.

"Hey, brother, wait a minute!" The stall owner suddenly stopped Fang Hao: "I still have an incense burner here, take a look at it!"

In the blink of an eye, he took out a palm-sized incense burner out of nowhere, and handed it to Fang Hao. This action looked like a layman.

Fang Hao asked him to put the incense burner on the booth, and then picked it up.

This censer is small and exquisite, in the style of the bridge lug censer popular in the Qing Dynasty, with three legs under it.The abdomen is round, and the small shape and stocky posture are even more cute.The leather shell is covered with large and small gold flakes in red, floating like snow and shining brilliantly.The bottom of the furnace is cast with a four-character name in seal script "Chunliu Qingwan".

This incense burner looks about [-]% to [-]% new, well preserved, without any damage, at first glance it looks like it was newly cast, but Fang Hao observed carefully, and found that the surface coating is thick and natural, and the gold flakes have a restrained luster, contained under the coating , Intuition told him that this is definitely an authentic Qing Dynasty.

So, Fang Hao tried to ask the young man for a price.

The young man was very happy and offered 5000 yuan.

Li Mingchao said beside him: "You really dare to ask for a price!"

The young man smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I also saw the dispute between you and the old man before. I admire this buddy's character, but I admire this buddy's eyesight even more, so I picked it up easily. Big leak."

Fang Hao said with a smile: "Could it be that you will charge a high price if I pick up a leak?"

The stall owner said with a smile: "I didn't mean that, it's just that my brother entrusted me to sell this incense burner. He told me that it was a thing from the Qing Dynasty. If the price is low, I won't sell it. Since you guys I've taken a fancy to it, and I think it won't be fake. How about it, 5000 yuan, just treat it as a friend, and add a contact information later, and I will contact you later if I have any good stuff."

Fang Hao weighed the incense burner in his hand, and agreed to the price without thinking too much.

Seeing Fang Hao agreeing, the stall owner muttered while being happy: "It seems that my price is still cheap."

"Why don't I buy it?" Fang Hao looked at him with a smile.

The stall owner couldn't let the cooked duck fly away, so he hurriedly shouted: "Don't, we are also spitting and nailing. Now that we have said the price, there is no reason to go back on it. 5000 yuan, you can give it."
