MTL - Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes-Chapter 1032 Snow District Antique Market

  Chapter 1032 Antique Market in Snow Region

  The plane landed at Sati Airport at 7:15pm, and the journey took about four and a half hours. Li Mo had already put on his down jacket before getting out of the plane, and the temperature outside had dropped below zero. He followed the flow of people and walked straight forward. Chen Xiaoyan and Fu Liang followed behind and looked around, and behind him was the brown bear leading a group of people.

   "This is not Kyoto, so there is nothing to see. Why are you two a bit like bumpkins entering the city? You are surprised to see everything."

Li Mo looked back at them and said, Fu Liang quickly ran two steps and said respectfully: "Master, isn't it said that people who have never been to the snow area will have altitude sickness when they come here for the first time? I think it's okay, it's normal. of."

Chen Xiaoyan walked up to him and said mockingly: "From a scientific point of view, altitude sickness refers to a series of high-altitude hypoxic stress reactions that occur in the body after entering a plateau from a plain or entering a higher altitude area from a plateau. The main manifestations are: It is headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness, etc. The incidence of acute altitude sickness is related to the speed of uphill, altitude, residence time and physical fitness. If you do not feel any discomfort, it means that your physical fitness is still very good of."

   "Xiaoyan, you still know a lot."

  Fu Liang quickly flattered him.

  There was a slight smile on the corner of Li Mo's mouth. This kid is a top student who graduated from Nantah University. How could he not be clear about this. Seeing how eager he was to catch up with the horse and flatter him, this kid must have been convinced by Chen Xiaoyan's personal charm.

  He couldn't compete in the martial arts competition, and he was always beaten by strong suppression. Although it was a bit embarrassing, but after he got used to the humiliation, he felt that it was not bad.

   "Brown bear."

   Li Mo turned his head and shouted, and the brown bear rushed to him: "Boss, what are your orders?"

   "After checking into the hotel, let everyone get used to it for a day or two, and provide timely information and recuperation if they feel unwell."

   "Yes, boss."

  The hotel they stayed in had been booked long ago. The man who came to greet them was a tall man in his thirties, dressed in traditional snow-covered clothing, especially with some beads on his hair, and his skin was dark and rough.

   "Mr. Li, my name is Tashi Dorji. You can call me Dorji. From now on, I will arrange any orders you have. The car is outside, please come with me."

   "Duoji, what's your relationship with Yanxin?"

"In terms of seniority, he is my uncle. But this branch of our snow area is a bit far away. My grandfather is the nephew of the deceased Mr. Li in Kyoto. Anyway, it is a matter of the previous two generations. I'm not too sure either."

   "Have you ever thought about living in Kyoto?"

   "If there is a chance, it is naturally the best. It's not that I want a better life, but mainly for my children. The environment here is harsh, and both children have plateau heart disease. We must give them a good life."

   "I will trouble you to worry about it during the period of time I have been here. If you decide to live in the plains in the future, I can help you."

  This is Li Mo's promise to him, and this Duoji will naturally do things well.

Regarding the so-called altitude sickness, Li Mo really didn't feel any discomfort in his body. Chen Xiaoyan, Fu Liang, and Brown Bear all had some adverse reactions after staying in the hotel. Fortunately, they had already prepared for it, so they just need to rest It will be fine after a day or two to get used to it.

  The next day, Duoji was waiting for Li Mo in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel early in the morning. Li Mo came to the first floor with his bag on his back and waved to him, "This way."

   "Mr. Li, what are your plans for today?"

   “Take a look at the local antique market.”

"OK."

  The antique market in Sadie is quite large, and there are a lot of people visiting here. Compared with Panjiayuan in Kyoto, or Liulichang, or the antique street of Town God's Temple in Shanghai, the antique market here is full of rich elements of ethnic minorities, whether it is architecture or decoration, it is the first time to come here. people have a different experience. Of course, there are also some shops whose interior decoration is similar to the antique shops in Kyoto.

   "Duoji, are you familiar with this antique market?"

   “I’ve been here a few times with my family, but mainly to play. After all, I don’t know anything about so-called antiques.”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. From now on, you will be my guide. If I am lucky enough to find something good later, as long as I make an inquiry, you have to persuade me from the standpoint of considering me, or help me Let me say that the boss’s price is too high, it shouldn’t be difficult, right?”

   "I have done business before. Although I lost money, I still know the truth inside." Tashi Dorje is very aware of how powerful this man is, as long as he has a baby, he will definitely not escape his eyes.

  Most of the people in the antique market are tourists from other places. The same feature is that they carry a bag of various sizes, but there are not many locals. Like ordinary tourists, Li Mo walked slowly along the street. There was basically a small booth built by himself at the entrance of the shop. There were many kinds of things on it, mainly bracelets and bracelets.

  The bracelets and bracelets seen in antique shops in plain areas are made of all kinds of beautiful stones, and the best quality is jade. The bracelets seen here are mainly made of silver, with local braided rope and some beautiful beads.

  Li Mo stopped and walked, looking at seven or eight bracelets of different styles, but just looking at them, he was not greeted enthusiastically by the boss and made a move.

   "There is actually a shop selling porcelain here."

  Li Mo came to a shop and looked inside curiously. The shop was not big, and there were three tourists looking at it boredly.

   "Mr. Li, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"have a look."

  Li Mo put on his down jacket and hat, and followed Duoji into the shop. Duoji is a very good partner. As soon as he walked in, he entered the status of a tour guide. He pointed to the porcelain on the ancient racks around him and said, "Boss Li, this shop specializing in porcelain business is quite famous in our local area. The boss is doing business. It’s also very kind, if you like one, I can help you check the price with the boss.”

  Li Mo nodded, walked to the ancient shelf and carefully looked at it. After a while, he pointed to a red-glazed plum vase and asked, "Boss, can I have a look at this?"

  The boss is a man in his fifties, with a rough face and a face full of vicissitudes. He walked up to Li Mo and asked in broken Mandarin: "Sir, if you like this porcelain, you can get it yourself."

"Thanks."

Li Mo took down the plum vase from the ancient rack. To be honest, this plum vase is very good in terms of shape and glaze. The inscription on the bottom of the bottle is also a very standard italic script. Character.

   "Boss, how do you sell this porcelain?"

   Li Mo asked politely. As soon as he asked, Duoji, who was not far away, immediately cheered up. Are you going to start? He is ready to fight, just waiting for the boss to offer an outrageous price.

  Unexpectedly, the boss shook his head and waved his hands: "This plum vase made by the Kangxi official kiln in the Qing Dynasty is the treasure of my shop, and I don't sell it."

  Li Mo was taken aback for a moment. Is the boss really not selling it or is he just teasing him?

"it's beautiful."

  Li Mo sighed with regret, his eyes were very reluctant, but he still put the plum vase back to its original place.

  The boss is a little dumbfounded, why are you not curious at all, why didn't you ask why, and just gave up? Duoji, who was all prepared, saw Li Mo's actions, and murmured in his heart, did he understand it wrong?

   "Sir, is this your first time traveling here?"

"That's right, those who are not familiar with the place even spent money to find a local guide. He said that your shop is very famous, so I came in to have a look. The porcelain made in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty is really good. Boss, you really have a good eye, the red color of the glaze is amazing." Li Mo glanced at Duoji, "The porcelain in this shop is all good stuff, I'm afraid I can't afford it, let's go shopping elsewhere .”

   "Oh, okay, Boss Li, I'll take you to another shop."

  Duoji nodded quickly when he saw that he was leaving.

   "Boss Li, please wait a moment." Seeing that he was leaving, the owner of the antique shop managed to catch a client who was interested. How could he let him leave just like that. He stopped Li Mo, even in a somewhat respectful tone, "Boss Li, if you really like this Kangxi plum vase, we can talk about the price again."

  Li Mo asked in surprise: "Didn't you just say that the treasure of the town store is not for sale?"

  The boss replied with an embarrassed smile: "Under normal circumstances, it is not for sale, but if the customer offers a price that I cannot refuse, I will agree to transfer it."

  This is the attitude of doing business.

  Li Mo turned his head to look at the stunning red plum vase again, and said, "Boss, what price do you want?"

   "Two hundred and eighty-eight thousand."

Li Mo shook his head directly: "It's too expensive, I don't even have the confidence to bargain. Boss, don't waste your time on me. I can't afford it. I'll look at other porcelain. If the good-looking ones are not expensive If you want to buy one and take it back as a souvenir, it’s worth visiting here.”

  Duoji said a few words to the boss in dialect at this time, and the owner of the antique shop gave up.

  Li Mo didn't leave right away, and walked around the store for a week. Every piece of porcelain on the Bogu shelf looked extremely exquisite, and it could be said that it was no worse than the high-quality imitations produced in Gu Yunxuan's shop. The boss is also definitely a shrewd person, instead of using those shabby fakes to make a fool of himself, it is better to directly sell high-quality goods, you will be unlucky if you have no vision, anyway, no matter whether you sell at a high price or a low price, it will be profitable for the boss.

  There is nothing good in the shop.

  Li Mo turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly his gaze swept across the water basin on the counter two meters away. The water basin is a piece of porcelain with pastel painted on the green ground and folded along the basin. He immediately changed his direction slightly and walked towards the counter, but his eyes were fixed on the dozen pieces of porcelain on the row of cabinets behind the counter.

   While looking at it, he glanced at the porcelain water basin on the table without any trace, and the boss took it to store various biscuits, probably for the guests. With a sweep of the different pupils, a gray halo emerges from the porcelain basin, turning into circles of light. It is definitely an authentic product of the official kiln in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

  The high imitation boutiques are all displayed on the antique shelves, and the boss praises them as genuine products, but the real good things are placed on the counter as storage.

  Li Mo returned to the red-glazed plum vase again, as if he would regret not taking it away. When the boss saw this, his eyes moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Boss Li, it can be seen that you really like this imperial plum vase made in the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. In this way, if you pay the price, I will If you think it’s still acceptable, I’ll give it up and give it to you.”

   "Hey, forget it, I'm not sure about this piece of porcelain."

  Li Mo still let out a long sigh.

   "According to Boss Li, you still have a lot of research on porcelain?"

"Of course." Li Mo said with a bit of arrogance, "I have a lot of research experience in ceramics from Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Five Dynasties. But this plum vase gives me a bad feeling. I have seen many large ceramics. The real product of Qing Dynasty porcelain, but I have never seen such a bright red glaze color. If you want to say that the most famous red porcelain in the Qing Dynasty is Jihong glaze porcelain. This kind of red glaze close to Huaxia red is the first time for me I saw it, so I have no idea. Generally, most of these porcelains are modern handicrafts. To tell you the truth, boss, I really don’t know this plum vase. If it’s not for its red color, I wouldn’t Will consider buying it to take back as a souvenir.”

  The boss was indeed taken aback by Li Mo's words. He knew the origin of these porcelains himself. Unexpectedly, people still have some basic skills, such people are difficult to fool, and they are also difficult to serve.

   "Boss Li, what do you mean?"

  Li Mo calculated in his mind before saying: "Boss, two thousand eight hundred and eight, I will take it away."

  Duoji was a little dazed, one dared to ask for the price, and the other dared to counter the price, and they were so confident.

   "Boss Li, I don't think you really like this red-glazed plum vase, are you here to pass the boring time by talking nonsense with me?"

  The owner of the antique shop wants to drive people away.

  Li Mo calmly took out a stack of money from his backpack, the new ones from the bank hadn't torn off the seal. He counted out twenty-nine cards in front of the boss, and then shook them vigorously, making a clattering sound.

   "Boss, I really don't like to hear what you said. It's rare for me to come out to play, and can I come out empty-handed?"

   Li Mo looked at Duoji while talking.

Finally gave me a signal, Duoji hurriedly walked over with a straight face and said: "Boss Li, you still have to be careful when you shoot. If you really miss it as you said, then the porcelain is far from worth two thousand eight One hundred and eight."

  Li Mo flicked the money with his hand, showing a sudden expression: "You are right, boss, if I really guessed it, then this plum vase is worth a few hundred or a thousand at most."

  The owner of the antique shop saw the money swinging up and down and couldn't hold back and agreed, but he didn't know that this stupid big man actually stepped in and wanted to mess up his first business of the day.

   "Boss Li, the bargaining is not like yours. Don't you just want to pick up a piece of porcelain for nothing? I won't do this business, please feel free."

  Li Mo had no choice but to put the money in his hand into the bag, and then said very regretfully: "Boss, do you have a thousand or so porcelain in your store? As long as the appearance is good, I can accept a little more money?"

   "Sorry, the cheapest porcelain in this store costs more than 10,000 yuan."

  The owner of the antique shop said a little impatiently.

"The cheapest one is more than 10,000 yuan, and the one on the counter with snacks like a water basin is worth 10,000 yuan? Boss, do you look down on me and think that I have no money to buy the porcelain in your store?" Li Mo said here , getting emotional, he took out 10,000 cash from his bag and threw it heavily on the counter, "I bought this porcelain that you treated as trash, and it's only 10,000. If you sell it, I'll take the money and I'll take it away. If you feel that you are losing money, I will take the money and leave immediately."

  10,000 cash was scattered on the counter, and he spent six to seven hundred yuan to find the porcelain bowl for storing snacks, and he made more than ten times the profit as soon as he changed hands. The owner of the antique shop had a serious face this time. He collected the money silently, then walked to the water basin, poured out all the snacks inside, and found a paper box for him to pack carefully.

   "Boss Li, welcome to come next time."

  Li Mo stood still, staring at the boss angrily. Now the boss is even more proud, the one who played tricks with him hasn't appeared yet.

   "Duoji, let's go."

  Li Mo picked up the packaged porcelain basin, yelled in a very unhappy voice, turned and left the shop.
