Chapter 92 Chapter 092 "Ghost City" Rumor

"There are still records of tiles in the history books?" Jia Sidao asked curiously. "Yeah, grandpa, why have I never seen tiles appear?" Jelly asked sweetly on the sidelines, and then blinked at Jia Sidao, for fear that at this time, Jia Sidao As if he didn't know that she was helping to ask together, Jia Sidao rolled his eyes helplessly at her. This little girl has absolutely no good intentions.God knows what kind of request Jia Sidao will make later after he appreciates it now. "Hehe, is there any record, you can find it by yourself? If you want to learn knowledge, just listen to other people's explanation, after all, it is still a minority." The old man said with a smile, "I can only remind you, This thing has only appeared once in history, and it is also the only time. The time, it was at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty..."

Jia Sidao secretly remembered the old man's words.Come to think of it, the old man was also doing it for his own good, especially this tile was made by Jia Sidao.My own things and some relevant knowledge can only be found by myself, figured out, and understood the history, background, and culture of things, which can be regarded as a kind of fun in collecting. Why is it that in the antique market, even if a hole is drilled, it is sometimes said to be taking medicine and paying tuition?It is to eat a pit and gain a wisdom.This time, you will be able to study such things thoroughly.In the future time, it will not be easily fooled.

And the knowledge of collection is also gradually enriched in such continuous accumulation. Of course, almost everyone who is engaged in antique collection has the experience of drilling eyes.Especially for some novices, when they first entered this field, they were often deceived by veterans due to lack of vision. They spent a lot of money, but often bought fake things.Jia Sidao has heard that some people can fall twice or three times in the same place. There are countless such things. Even if you are famous.Just like a certain well-known host of Hunan TV, he once blew up the experience of being cheated twice by the same counterfeit product.

Speaking of the reason why he started collecting, it was purely by chance.Once, on his birthday, he went to the house of a collector named Liu in Changsha to play.Another friend brought a lot of ancient jade products and asked this collector to appraise them.One piece of jade jade among them aroused his interest.He held it in his hand and played with it repeatedly, the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't put it down.Seeing that he liked it so much, his friend immediately decided to give him this piece of jade as a birthday present.Moreover, what is particularly surprising is that after an appraisal, most of this batch of ancient jade products are "unreliable" things.Jargon, that is, not sure.And this piece of jade turned out to be one of the few authentic pieces, which surprised him when he came into contact with antiques for the first time, which aroused his strong interest in antiques.

From then on, in his spare time, he also began to slowly set foot in the field of antique collection. In order to find good things, for quite a long time, he would get up early in the morning to catch the "ghost market" in the Changsha antique market at three or four o'clock in the morning. The so-called ghost market means that there are "ghosts" in things.One is that the origin is unknown, and the other is that there are too many fake things. As for places like Linhai, although there is still a small-scale antique market, and the atmosphere is pretty good, but "ghost markets" do not exist.Jia Sidao has curiosity about the "ghost market", but it is only limited to curiosity.After all, the things in there, not to mention him, even some old experts often punch eyes.

Just like the host Jia Sidao saw, when he was visiting the "ghost market" once, he saw a small red lotus cup in the glaze on a stall. fine.He took the little lotus cup in his hand, turned on the strong flashlight and looked carefully, the lines and hidden flowers of the cup were quite clear, and no tampering had been made, it didn't seem like a fake thing, but, he I'm still not quite sure. While hesitating, the antique dealers who visited countless people began to tell stories.It is said that this lotus cup is a special porcelain made by a certain celebrity in Jingdezhen during the Republic of China. The eloquent and self-contained narration made the host, who was not very experienced at the time, instantly moved. When he asked for the price, it was very cheap, only a few thousand yuan, and the deal was made immediately.

This scene is a bit similar to when Jia Sidao made his first purchase in the Linhai Antique Market. However, the host obviously did not have such good luck as Jia Sidao. In the early morning of the next day, when he went to visit the "ghost market" again, strange things happened.Still at the stall, there was another lotus cup that was exactly the same as the one he bought yesterday. He hurried up to ask what happened. When the shrewd antique dealer saw that it was him, he immediately pretended to be "surprised" He told him that he happened to find another one in an old family's house.

No, in order to make the orphans into a pair, the host still hardened his heart and gritted his teeth to buy them. Unexpectedly, strange things would follow one after another. The same lotus cups started to appear one after another, like mushrooms after a spring rain.At this time, even if the host didn't need to ask for help, he knew that he had bought a fake thing. It was considered to have paid a lot of tuition fees, and he was still in the same "pit". Collection is like this, once you pay the tuition, your eyes will light up once.After paying tuition fees continuously, the host's eyesight is getting better and better, and he is no longer the old "Wu Xia Amon".Moreover, in order to further improve his eyesight, he often goes to the Hunan Museum to see some standard instruments.

Especially through his interpersonal relationship, he became one of the first batch of more than 20 high-end members of the Hunan Museum. With such an identity, he can often participate in some activities organized by the museum, can watch some authentic cultural relics up close, and even have the opportunity to play with them, so as to gradually cultivate the feeling of distinguishing the authenticity of antiques.In addition, if the timing is right, you may even have the opportunity to enter the archaeological site and observe the specific conditions of the unearthed cultural relics. This kind of treatment is beyond the reach of ordinary people like Jia Sidao.

Jia Sidao is very envious of such an opportunity, especially the perception ability of his left hand, even if he can't distinguish the authenticity of porcelain, but when it comes to antiques of the same type and the same period in his hand The feeling of playing, presumably, no one has a more precise and delicate perception than him. As the saying goes, don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, but be afraid of comparing goods. Jia Sidao felt that if he wanted to make some achievements in the collection, getting in touch with more authentic works was a problem that could not be ignored.Just like the blue and white tiles in front of me, if one of the later generations imitates it, even if it looks very realistic on the outside, as long as the internal tire quality is slightly different, Jia Sidao can completely judge the other according to his own perception of the genuine product. One thing is true or false.

"By the way, grandpa, I have one more thing here, and I would like to ask you to help me." Looking at the tiles, Jia Sidao suddenly remembered that there was another piece of porcelain in his purse.While talking, he bent over and took it out. "Hehe, Xiao Jia, you haven't been collecting for a long time, and you have quite a lot of things. You saw this opportunity and brought them here." The old man first smiled, and then asked a question seemingly indifferently. , "You also received it from Xiaohong?" Because when he introduced the blue and white tiles earlier, Jia Sidao also said it truthfully. Come to think of it, with the mind of the old man, he would definitely not mind Jia Sidao's behavior of picking up leaks.Just put yourself in the shoes of the old man, if it didn't happen to someone the old man knew, even if he met him, I'm afraid he would look for opportunities to pick up the loopholes like Jia Sidao, right? In the collection of antiques, there is no such thing as overflowing sympathy, what is important is a person's vision for antiques. Of course, like Jia Sidao now, if he knows that the three things he collected at a low price are priceless, when he returns to Linhai in the future, he will treat Mrs. Hong a little better, such as hiring a nanny or something to help her. Taking care of the old lady's daily life is also out of respect for the elderly. If the profit is returned every time a leak is picked up, can the seller also get the money back when the hole is drilled? "Yes, great grandfather." Jia Sidao replied, "However, I haven't seen that pastel bowl you mentioned earlier..." Jia Sidao naturally understood the intention of the old man asking such a sentence.However, in Mrs. Hong's home, he did not see the bowl.Moreover, Mrs. Hong never mentioned any other porcelain in the house.Maybe after so many years, the old lady herself doesn't know where she threw the pastel bowl. On the contrary, Mrs. Hong took good care of Mr. Zhang's favorite furniture during his lifetime. Thinking about it this way, Jia Sidao felt a little bit moved by the relationship between Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Hong. Because the brush washer this time has been repaired, and the repairing technique is really rough, it can be seen that it was done by a layman at a glance, the old man couldn't help but frowned slightly.Not to mention the old man, but Jelly's eyes widened when she saw the brush, as if she was wondering why Jia Sidao got such a broken piece of porcelain? Moreover, looking at Jia Sidao's actions, he is still cautiously acting like a baby. The little girl glanced at her head, as if she didn't care about it.
