Volume 1 Strong Rise Chapter 173 Antique Street One
Long Mobai took a taxi to the Antique Street in the north of Wu City. This is also a way of life for the locals in Wu City. Many people like to meet interesting objects in such a place and keep them as collections.
Similarly, Antique Street is also one of the ancient Chinese cultures and contains the connotation of ancient culture.
As the saying goes, gambling on stones is a knife to heaven and a knife to hell. It can make people rich or bankrupt. But the same is true for the ancient objects in this antique street. When it comes to ancient ceramics, ancient bronzes, jade, calligraphy and painting, study rooms, etc.
Buying high-quality antiques is also a gamble, especially if you are not an expert. It is purely a matter of luck.
There is also a type of person who can collect objects regardless of whether they are genuine or fake, as long as the price is reasonable. With the continuous progress of social economy, some young people like to collect figures, because collecting is also a kind of fun.
Long Mobai was wearing a Cerruti suit. After getting out of the car, he walked straight towards the antique street. There were people coming and going in the morning, which was no worse than the flow of people in the vegetable market.
After Long Mobai approached, he looked up and saw the stone entrance hall, with four large ancient characters on it, "We meet each other in ancient times".
Passing through this foyer, you can see two queues inside, with strange and eccentric objects placed in front of each, allowing the selected guests to sift through them.
This place has attracted many men and women from abroad. Long Mobai believes that the antique street can not only promote ancient Chinese traditional culture, but also buy the antiques of his choice.
Isn’t it the right way to make money?
Long Mobai also approached and followed these places. People from other places took a look and saw some porcelain bottles that looked like they were cracked.
I don’t know whether Longmobai is authentic or not, and I don’t know what it’s called, but it says on it is a traditional famous porcelain from the Han Dynasty, called Ice Crack Porcelain.
Long Mobai felt that if these were true, they would not necessarily be displayed here for people to observe. They should be included in the ancient literature museum by the country, unless one or two things were really mistaken.
"Come and take a look at the Sui Dynasty pottery figurines and panmouth pots..."
Long Mobai heard someone shouting for sale from a distance, trying to attract outsiders to do business.
He just looked around to see if there were any broken pieces similar to his own.
But before Long Mobai's eyes, there were a dazzling array of objects, at least hundreds of them, which made him dazzled.
"Little brother, are you interested in coming over and taking a look..."
Long Mobai saw an old man in his fifties, wearing a plain Chinese tunic suit, waving to him.
The other person was sitting on a natural rattan rocking chair, playing with two lion head walnuts in his other hand, and wearing some beads on his right wrist.
He smiled broadly and looked at Long Mobai, which made Long Mobai a little confused.
But he still walked to the other party's stall and asked: "Uncle, I can't understand what you are selling."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You'll understand if you learn slowly. My name is yours, young man!"
Long Mobai hesitated and replied: "My surname is Mo..."
"Oh, the Mo family in Wu City!"
"Not really."
Long Mobai changed the topic and continued: "Uncle, there is something different between you and others!"
The other party sat up straight, stopped holding the lion head walnut in his hand, looked at Long Mobai sharply and said: "You want to say that there are people buying them over there, but it's deserted here, right?"
Long Mobai nodded and replied: "Yes, sir, I think the items you sell here are indeed different from others. Are they all fake..."
As soon as Long Mobai's false words came out, the surrounding vendors looked at each other with sharp eyes.
The man in his fifties lowered his voice and said: "Young man, there are rules in the antique street. Don't say that word. Even if you know it well, you can't say it. People in this industry rely on luck to do business, and gambling on stones also requires a sharp knife."
It’s heaven, not hell with a sword!”
Long Mobai felt that what the other party said was very reasonable and that there were rules for doing things.
Long Mobai said: "Uh, uncle, you haven't told me what you are selling!"
"What I sell is not objects, what I sell is fate."
"edge!"
"Yes...it's fate. Are you interested in choosing one?"
After saying this, the old man leaned back on the rocking chair again, his eyes closed quietly, as if the old god was there, the lion head walnut in his hand began to move, and his little feet were slightly raised.
Long Mobai didn't know who the other party was, but he sounded a little interested. He glanced around the stall a few times. The items he was selling were indeed very strange, including porcelain, jade, calligraphy and paintings sold by others.
He sells some weird things. The most interesting thing is that there is a similar modern design drawing on the stall. The design principles of some of the above are not the same.
The key is that the color of this design is dark brown, and the paper quality is not modern, it looks very ancient.
Long Mobai pushed his true energy, and the black condensed points turned light golden. No one noticed the change in his eyes.
Long Mobai glanced at the stall, and found this incomprehensible design drawing, which contained a trace of aura.
"Young man, I'm attracted to this picture!" The old man in front of Long Mobai opened his eyes and asked.
He didn't expect to catch sight of this ghost machine picture at first glance.
We also know a little bit about the origin of the Ghost Machine Diagram. It is said that there was an old ghost machine figure in ancient times who often liked to invent some weird mechanisms. However, there is no record of it in history. This Ghost Machine Diagram records his existence.
Long Mobai nodded: "Uncle, how can I sell this picture?"
"Only a thousand dollars."
Before Long Mobai could say yes, an uncoordinated voice sounded beside him.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, you started to deceive people again. Your shabby pictures cost one thousand!"
A bearded man from the next stall came over, holding a scroll in his hand and said to Long Mobai: "Young man, although my painting is a fake, it is not much different from the real thing. It only costs five hundred, do you want it?"
Come and collect one!”
"I'm not interested in pictures." Long Mobai answered the other party tepidly, thinking that there is still such a business! It is obviously burning bridges across the river.
He didn't get angry when he called Uncle Zhang, but said calmly: "You heard it too, people don't care about your broken paintings, and do you understand the rules?"
"Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps!"
"Pooh..."
Just when he heard the two people arguing unintentionally, Long Mobai's eyes were fixed on a wooden box. He picked it up and looked at it carefully.
Not far away, a few people came and looked sharply at Long Mobai, and they even talked softly.
"That thing is on that guy!"
"We can confirm that he is on the trail. We have been tracking him for more than a month. We must complete the task today, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the master."
"Then what are we waiting for!"
"Don't worry... there are many people here, we are getting closer."
The conversation between several people and their target were obviously not directed at Long Mobai, but at the stall owner next to him.
Long Mobai ignored the other party's argument at all. After opening the small box, he saw an obsidian-like bead lying inside. Long Mobai also smelled a faint medicinal fragrance from it.
"Could this be a pill!" Long Mobai's heart was filled with confusion.
I heard rumors that in ancient times, there were some magicians who could refine elixirs specifically for the emperor.
