Chapter 24 The thief's stall owner

"Bronze Gun Cup (fake)......"

"Guangxu White Glaze Wine Pot: (authentic)..."

"Blue and White Phoenix Tail (fake)......"

"The Map of Outbound" (fake)..."

"Blue and white plum vase (fake): imitation of the Republic of China, quality: inferior, imitation of the Ming blue and white......Special note: hidden mystery!"

“Huh?”

Su Chen was scanning the street stall with his wise eyes, and suddenly he was attracted by a large blue and white bottle.

It was a blue and white plum vase. The characteristics of the plum vase were small mouths, short necks, plump shoulders, thin bottoms, and ring feet. It was named after the small mouth and could only be inserted into plum branches.

In ancient times, plum vases were mostly used to store wine, so they were not large in size. However, the stall owner's plum vase was very large, about 80 cm in height, making it one of the few large porcelain bottles.

However, what Su Chen cares about the most is not the porcelain itself, but the special comment given by Huiyan to this porcelain bottle!

Hidden mystery!

Judging from Su Chen's experience of reading countless systematic novels, this porcelain bottle is definitely not simple, it is likely to be a big leak.

The stall owner next to him kept calling Su Pan. Because Su Pan was a slut and could talk to anyone, he was always easily ignored when he was with Su Pan.

However, the middle-aged stall owner is not a simple one. Although he has been dealing with Su Pan, his eyes are staring at Su Chen from time to time. Seeing Su Chen suddenly staring at the plum bottle beside him, the stall owner raised his eyebrows lightly, narrowed his eyes, and a kind smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You guys have such a priceless treasure in my stall, so you can pick it out."

After hearing this, Su Chen rolled his eyes wildly.

Sure enough, these uncles who sell cultural relics and street stalls are all very bad, and they don’t have a single truth in their mouths.

Although this plum vase is not a modern craft imitation, it comes from the Republic of China and has a bit of history, its workmanship is too rough, and there is a circle of very fine cracks on the surface of the plum vase, which is extremely different in quality and has no collection value at all. The value of this plum vase is not even ranked in the top ten treasures in this uncle's stall, and it is actually said to be a priceless treasure by this uncle.

Well, it’s also a skill to be thick-skinned these days.

Su Chen did not expose the uncle's words, but replied with a gentle smile. "Uncle has good eyesight and can actually see my goal at a glance. I originally wanted to steal the chicken, but now it seems that there is no chance. Oh! Uncle, please give me a affordable price!"

The stall owner was proud. The reason why he could be so prosperous in Panjiayuan was his eyesight. He was indeed amazing. He has also set up a stall in Panjiayuan for more than ten years, and he has not been stolen once, let alone been picked up by a bargain.

The most surprising thing is that the stall owner does not know much about antiques, and he even doesn't know the authenticity of many cultural and antiques, but he just has a pair of eyes and has made a world in the antique industry.

In a sense, this person is also an amazing person.

Of course, after more than ten years of experience, the stall owner's eyesight cannot be kept on the spot. He can still tell whether it is true or false for some simple cultural relics. The workmanship of the blue and white plum vase is really rough, so the stall owner can see the value of the plum vase at a glance, and even more so that Su Chen is actually pretending to be stupid.

So the stall owner was in a difficult situation, and this situation was the worst.

Their favorites are buyers who are half-knowing about antiques, because such people are easy to fool.

But the most annoying thing is this kind of person, because some people rely on their knowledge of antiques, offer prices at will, and are extremely stubborn. Sometimes they may not make a penny and even make a mess.

In the eyes of the stall owner, Su Chen is just such a person who pretends to be confused but is very young. This is a typical characteristic of those people.

I just don’t know what Su Chen’s temper is.

Therefore, the stall owner hesitated for a moment and gave a price that was neither high nor low.

"Eight thousand!"

This price is definitely a bit high for this plum vase, but it is likely to fool some buyers.

After all, there is basically nothing to collect about porcelain that is less than one thousand.

Su Chen smiled and hadn't spoken yet, but Su Pan was anxious.

"Eight thousand? Boss, you are robbing money! As long as you make a plum vase, I will find a modern craft that is better than its workmanship. Just this broken thing, do you want eight thousand?"

After saying that, Su Pan turned around and looked at Su Chen, puzzled: "Old Su, this is a defective product, and it is not of high value. Why are you buying it?"

"I know, don't be anxious!" Su Chen explained in a low voice to Su Pan.

Su Pan looked at Su Chen in a daze, nodded, and said nothing more.

"Haha, boss, my brother said that you are not kind! Everyone is real, so please feel free to give me a real price!"

The stall owner did not blink even his eyelids for Su Pan's condemnation. After hearing Su Chen's words, the stall owner smiled softly.

"Little brother, I believe you can see that this is something from the Republic of China. Although the workmanship is a bit bad, the size of my plum vase is nearly 600 pieces. Not to mention that it is unique, it is not common in plum vase porcelain. It has absolute collection value, so I want you to have 8,000, and I definitely didn't fool you. It's really a bargain price!"

When Su Chen heard this, he frowned slightly.

"Boss, you're boring! Your porcelain is very big, but it's really a rough workmanship. And it's just something from the Republic of China. The historical value is really not high. Everyone understands it. You can give a affordable price!"

The stall owner stared at Su Chen for a while, and suddenly smiled.

"Okay, brother, don't bargain. You can't hide it from my eyes. My eyes tell me that you care a lot about this plum bottle, and it can be said that you will definitely get it. So even if I bite you and don't give up, you still have to pay in the end. But today, I will teach you this friend, and you will give you a 100-dollar taxi less, 7,900. As for the little more I earn, even if you pay me the tuition fee, remember that in the future, you must control your expression and eyes."

When Su Chen heard this, his face changed suddenly. He thought he had concealed it well, but he didn't expect the stall owner to see it at a glance.

While he was unhappy, he was really impressed by the stall owner.

He is worthy of being a person who can gain a foothold in Panjiayuan. His eyesight is really good!

However, Su Chen was unhappy, and Su Pan was really angry. He had never talked about such an arrogant stall owner. He couldn't help but curse: "Bah! Why are you putting garlic here? A broken bottle, I thought it was so rare! I asked us to pay the tuition fee, so why should I get a taxi? Look, I look like someone who can't afford a car?"

The stall owner glanced at Su Pan, smiled, and leaned back. He didn't know if it was because of his nature or pretended to behave. The stall owner who had just called Su Pan brothers turned against him this time, and he didn't even look at Su Pan, with a very proud expression.

Su Pan is so angry! Although he is easy to talk to, it does not mean he has a good temper.

In fact, if you suffer grievances, Su Pan's temper is more irritable than anyone else.

Su Pan stood up and reached out to smash the stall, but Su Chen hugged him.

"Don't worry, look at me!"
