"Boss, what do you like? If you really like it, let's take a look at it?"

The middle-aged boss greeted Jin Muchen with a smile and said, Jin Muchen didn't answer directly, just nodded at him lightly. ;

The boss was also very interested, and immediately stepped aside to give Jin Muchen time to watch it quietly.

Jin Muchen was not very interested in the porcelain on the table, especially the cups, dishes, and dishes from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, which the boss valued very much.

After only a few glances, Jin Muchen lost interest, then simply squatted down and stared at the china at the bottom of the shelf, especially the sets of china that kept shining bright white light.

Several sets of porcelain are mainly cups, bowls and plates, and there are four cups. At first glance, it is known that they are practical utensils, not ornamental utensils.

You must know that the price of practical objects in this porcelain is very different from that of ornamental objects. If it is an ornamental object, it may be necessary to pay attention to the size of the device, whether the shape is exquisite or not, as well as the pattern on the porcelain body, whether the statue is realistic, and whether the painting is beautiful. What.

But practical utensils don’t pay much attention. The main thing about this kind of thing is a practicality. Even the porcelain specially used by the Chinese royal family is most likely to be decorated with blue and white flowers, colors, etc. Whatever the glaze color, as long as the workmanship is fine enough, it is enough.

The cups, bowls, plates and dishes in front of them are also a complete set, but the shape of the utensils is different from the practical utensils in Chinese porcelain.

Let’s talk about this plate first, the mouth is very shallow, unlike the practical porcelain plates made in China, which generally have a deep mouth.

And that bowl is even more exaggerated, it is actually painted with colorful patterns, even on the mouth of the bowl. There is also a circle of golden decorative patterns, but this kind of pattern is not a typical Chinese decorative pattern, but it looks full of Western colors.

And the drawing on the bowl. They are also different, with floral patterns, as well as some European mythological statues and so on.

As for the cup and so on, it is almost the same style, anyway, it is very different from the Chinese porcelain tea cup.

Just take a look at it, you can see that this should be an imported set. However, these three sets of imported products are not very well preserved.

Although the overall appearance of the three sets of tableware is very complete, there is no trace of opening or bumping, but most of the patterns on these cups, bowls and dishes are already incomplete.

It is most likely due to improper storage, or the wrong method used when cleaning after use, so all those patterns are scratched. This makes these cups, bowls and dishes seem to have lost a lot of weight immediately.

But the good thing is that although the patterns are basically spent, the white porcelain inside is exposed. It can be seen that these white porcelains are very finely fired and should belong to the high-quality porcelain of the year.

Along with these three sets of cups, dishes, and dishes, there are many broken pieces of porcelain, some of which are cut, some with gaps, and many broken pieces of porcelain.

The boss put these three sets of cups and dishes together with these worn-out remnants of china. Obviously, there is not much hope for these three sets of porcelain.

"What? Boss, are you just getting started?"

The stall owner didn't look at the china that Jin Muchen was putting on it, he just stared at the remnants that he put at the bottom of the stall. Take a look at his outfit again. He is wearing a big bag and a small package. It is filled with handicrafts he just bought from other stalls. Look at the beautiful girl standing behind this guy. Guess this guy Should be a layman to get started.

He has set up a stall in this market for many years. He has seen many such people.

Stall owners like them who have been practicing stalls in the antique market for many years have all been honed into money skewers, and those rookies who have just entered the antique business are no longer as foolish as they were a few years ago.

Now all those antique programs are on TV all day long, so the rookies who are interested in antiques are honed to be much more savvy than the rookies in the past.

According to his experience, these rookies who are just getting started are not like those rookies in the past. They entered the market and saw a similar thing, and they had to win it with gritted teeth.

Now these rookies, when they first started, like to work **** residual porcelain. On the one hand, it does not cost much, and secondly, they can learn about the characteristics of porcelain in various eras based on these residual porcelains, so as to accumulate experience.

The expression in front of this kid staring at these pieces of porcelain was the same as those rookies he had met before.

Seeing the smug look in the boss's eyes, Jin Muchen didn't deny his judgment, but nodded lightly with a smile.

"Boss, take out these remnants of porcelain and show me."

"Okay, wait a moment."

As the boss said that, he took out all the residual porcelain that was placed at the bottom of the booth shelf. Jin Muchen pretended to pick up a few pieces of residual porcelain and looked at it.

You say that there are fakes in the china on your shelf, but it's too much for you to fake even these remnants?

Take a few pieces of residual porcelain bowls and plates with the characteristics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties that he started to look at. At first glance, these bowls and plates look very similar to the porcelain of the folk kilns in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but if you taste it carefully, you can find clues. .

For example, the color of this porcelain is not like it was fired in a wood kiln back then, and it still bears obvious signs of being worn out, and even some open spots on the plate and bowl were deliberately made.

These things are obviously the props that this stall owner uses to deceive those who are really just getting started.

"Boss, you can be optimistic. These dishes and bowls are all porcelains from folk kilns in the Ming and Qing Dynasties that I specially collected. If there were no defects, I would definitely not put them here. You can rest assured that each piece is authentic. If you buy it sincerely, we will be friends, and I will definitely give you a preferential price."

The boss's chest slapped the mountain, but if Jin Muchen didn't take him at all, he even cursed in his heart. If I believe you, there will be no scum left for you to be pitted against?

"Boss, what's the origin of your three sets of dishes? I see this style, but it's not the same as those?"

Jin Muchen picked up one of the few imported porcelains, and pretended to look at it, in fact, he wanted to see the base of these porcelains.

Although it is imported porcelain, but the white light on the porcelain body flashes, but tell him again, these sets of porcelain must be used by nobles of extraordinary origin.

The development of porcelain in Europe also has a history of hundreds of years. If it is a fine product in the early years, then under the plate or quilt, there will definitely be the bottom model when it left the factory.

It's a pity that he picked up several in a row, but couldn't see the mark.

Moreover, on the part of the inscription on the bottom surface, traces of brushing with improper measures, and even scratches can be seen.

It must be because the porcelain is too old, and because it is a practical utensil, in the early years, there were not so many professional tools for brushing porcelain, so when brushing, I accidentally injured the porcelain, and the bottom was damaged. All have been scraped off.

"Haha, young man, you are asking the right person. The style of this set of porcelain is indeed not the same as our Chinese porcelain. That is because these sets of porcelain were left by the German colonial army. I once worked as a translator at the Jiao'ao Governor's Office for decades. These porcelains were given to my ancestors by the Germans back then."

The owner of this shop is very serious, but Jin Muchen wants to laugh when he hears it. You are just talking nonsense there.

It is said that his grandfather was at the age of the 1st, and he should have experienced that period of history, but he said that his grandmother did an interpreter at the Jiaoao Governor's Office, but Jin Muchen didn't believe that he was beaten to death.

At that time, Jade Bird City had just been taken over by the Germans, and the whole city had just been established. I am afraid that the Jiaoao Governor's Office had just been built. At that time, your grandmother was in it as a translator?

You must know that the Germans in Jade Bird City were all a group of navies, just a group of reckless men. Do you need your grandmother to be an interpreter? Are you talking about how long the German talents have been at Jade Bird? It was kicked out by the Japanese!

I'm afraid it's almost the same where your grandma is a maid, but looking at this guy's eyes rolling around when he said this, Jin Muchen guessed that this guy was probably lying, or the story he told was made up. Yes, or he was talking about someone else's *** story.

However, he did not dismantle him, but continued to examine the sets of china in front of him, and sure enough, he found a clue under one of the cups.

Although the bottom surface of this porcelain was also scratched due to improper brushing, the imprint of a small blue stick could be seen vaguely. Seeing this imprint, Jin Muchen was very happy. It must have been his guess.

"These three sets of tableware~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are quite complete in number, but the quality is not very good. You can see that the pattern has fallen off, scratched, and there are scratches everywhere on the porcelain. . ."

Jin Muchen picked up a few pieces and pointed at them, but the boss was not angry at all, instead he smiled.

In this business, he knows that picking goods is the truth of the buyer. The more picky the other party is, the more important the other party is to these three sets of porcelain, and the more picky he is, the more successful the business is.

"Boss, if you really like it, I'll give you a real price. You also said that these three sets are preserved in complete quantities. Although the hanging statue is indeed a bit miserable, it is after all a hundred years ago. Come on, these three sets are 3500 yuan each, I will give you a discount, you can simply give a total of 10000 yuan!"

The stall owner blinked his small eyes and looked at Jin Muchen and said sincerely.

He had been collecting these three sets for several years. At the time, it only cost him three hundred. He didn't understand the background, but if it hadn't been seen that they were indeed old items, he would have smashed them and threw them away. (To be continued.)
