After getting rid of the sticky plaster, Equation, Zhang Xiaotian and Chao Xi felt much more comfortable! Looking at the crowds of people around, Chao Xi could finally stroll around this nationally famous antique market in peace!

"Okay, let's just keep shopping along here. If we encounter a familiar store, I'll tell you about it!"

Zhang Xiaotian pointed at the market full of people and said.

"good!"

Chao Xi nodded in agreement.

"Hey, there are a lot of people gathered over there. Business seems to be good! Let's go take a look..."

Morning and evening, she saw a lot of people gathered in front of a small stall. Taking advantage of her thinness, she turned around and nimbly got in.

Fang Fang also stretched his neck and looked into the crowd with his feet on his feet. He subconsciously stretched his fingers a few times, hesitated again and again, and then, as if he had made a lot of determination, he also got into the crowd!

Arriving at the stall, Fang Fang saw the stall owner selling the items in his stall eloquently. Fang looked down and saw that there were only pens, inks, paper, inkstones, teacups, teapots, rosary beads, bracelets and other small items on the stall.

There are really many styles of handicrafts! The reason why there are so many people in front of this stall is not because there are many styles of things on the stall, but because... they are cheap!

Fang Fang only stood for a while, and then he heard the stall owner's mouth talk.

"In the early Ming Dynasty, the transaction price for an inkstone was... 1,200 yuan!"

"A set of purple clay teapots from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the transaction price was... 1,400 yuan!"

"A wood-carved hairpin from Zhicheng Hall, Huizhou, Anhui, the transaction price...900 yuan!"

Listening to the stall owner's quotation, Fang Fang and Zhang Xiaotian were dumbfounded.

"This stall owner thinks of his place as an auction house. It's really funny that so many people come to support him. His stuff is sold so cheaply. How can it be true? These people still believe it..."

Equation found it particularly funny.

"Shh... there are rules in the antique world. You don't have to buy it, but you can't say it! Do you think those people who buy things are really here to buy things?"

Zhang Xiaotian covered his mouth and whispered to the equation.

"Then why are you here if you don't want to buy something?"

Fang Fang had a "silly and sweet" look on his face.

"They are 'shills'!"

Morning and evening turned around and explained to the equation that she was very knowledgeable about this aspect of the antique business.

"Oh... what I said..."

Fang Fang suddenly understood, and the more he said this, the more interested he became. He squeezed forward as hard as he could, and began to scan the stall. His fingers lightly passed over the items on the stall.

Cold, cold, still cold! Fang Fang curled his lips. Sure enough, in this kind of stall... nothing is real!

But just when Fang Fang was about to take back his hand, he suddenly felt the familiar burning sensation on the tip of his index finger. Only this time, the heat in his fingers was not as strong as the previous times!

In fact, Equation had roughly guessed before that the older, more precious, and more spiritual the object touched by his fingers would be, the stronger and hotter it would be, and vice versa!

However, as the saying goes, this grasshopper meat is also meat. If you don’t accumulate small steps, you can’t reach a thousand miles, and if you don’t accumulate small streams, you can’t build a river or sea!

Fang Fang moved his hand back to the object that had just felt the heat, and touched it one by one. Finally, he found the object!

It was an inconspicuous snuff bottle thrown in the corner!

A snuff bottle actually refers to a container for holding snuff. It is popular because it is small and easy to hold and easy to carry. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, snuff was introduced to China, and snuff boxes gradually became orientalized, thus giving birth to snuff.

Bottle. Nowadays, people’s habit of using snuff is almost extinct, but the snuff bottle has been passed down as a kind of exquisite art and continues to flourish!

Snuff bottles are made of rich materials, including porcelain, copper, ivory, jade, agate, amber, etc., and techniques such as blue and white, multicolored, porcelain carving, nesting, skillful workmanship, and interior painting are often used on snuff bottles.

Yahaozhao praised it as "a miniature art that combines the culmination of various crafts from various countries"!

Fang Fang carefully looked at the snuff bottle in his hand. It looked like it was carved from jade, but as for what kind of jade it was, Fang Fang couldn't tell for a while, although geological exploration would also come into contact with jade.

Mine, but after all, he is not a professional yet!

The surface of the snuff bottle is carved with several exquisite chrysanthemum patterns. Because the pot itself is very small, these chrysanthemums are even more exquisitely carved. With dark green leaves and bright yellow stamens, the picture is lifelike, as if they are really several chrysanthemums.

The proud chrysanthemum is swaying in the autumn wind! But maybe because the material is nephrite, the surface of the snuff bottle is a little rough because it is not well protected, and the color is also a little dull. This also shows that this thing

...It must be an old item, so Fang Fang went to look at the bottom of the snuff bottle. There were four characters "Made in the Qianlong Year" clearly engraved on it!

"Brother, you are so discerning. The snuff bottle you selected was from the Qianlong period. Look, this snuff bottle even has its metal lid preserved so completely. That's not easy!

this……"

"How much does it cost?"

Fang Fang interrupted the stall owner's self-promotion and asked the price directly.

"2000, don't tell me a cent!"

The stall owner clearly marked the price, so he did not deceive anyone.

"Hey, Cheng Zi, do you really want to buy it?"

Zhang Xiaotian saw Fang Fang asking about the price, and it looked like he was about to take action, so he hurriedly pulled him over and asked.

"This stall is not reliable, so don't be stupid! Think that you have picked up the slack and tasted the sweetness, so you don't know the east, west, south, and north!"

Of course Fang Fang knew that Zhang Xiaotian was standing from his own perspective and thinking about himself, but he still had confidence in his fingers.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on!"

Fang Fang pressed Zhang Xiaotian's hand to reassure him.

Chao Xi saw Fang Fang looking for a snuff bottle from the stall, so she stepped forward and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, she frowned, raised her head and looked at Fang Fang beside her with a strange look, and saw him.

His face did not change, and he discussed the price with the stall owner with a nonchalant expression!

"Actually, I don't know much about antiques. I just find this snuff bottle very pleasing to my eye. Can you give me a little more for the price..."

Fang Fang looked embarrassed. In fact, Fang Fang was really not reluctant to spend the few hundred dollars, but he didn't want to buy it so naturally that it would easily make others suspicious, as if he was just going for the snuff bottle.

"Brother, you don't have to worry about selling the things I have here. Don't you want to bargain with me? This is an antique. I sold it to you for 2,000 yuan. You will have to double it wherever you go!"

The stall owner looked even more embarrassed than the equation.

"You said you don't have to worry about selling... you just found a group of shills to pretend here..."

"1500, little brother, it really can't go any lower!"

The stall owner hurriedly interrupted Fang Fang's words and blinked directly at Fang Fang.

"Okay, 1,500 is 1,500!"

This was probably the stall owner's final offer. Fang Fang quickly took out 1,500 yuan from his wallet, which he took out from his card after getting 850,000 yuan yesterday!

"A snuff bottle from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty was sold for... 1,500 yuan!"

The stall owner took the money and started shouting. The stall was still crowded with people. Fang Fang got what he wanted, and left in a hurry with Chao Xi and Zhang Xiaotian!

As she was walking, Zhao Xi suddenly stopped. She looked at the equation in front of her with an expression that showed no clear emotion.

"Miss Chao Xi, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Fang was suddenly stared at closely by such a peerless beauty, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

"There are so many bits and pieces, and you suddenly saw the snuff bottle. Where did you learn this skill of appraising treasures?"

Chao Xi finally asked her question.

"Appraisal of treasures? How can I appraise treasures? I just think this snuff bottle is pretty, so I bought it for my own fun! If I knew, how could I bargain with him? I would have run away with it! Eh?

Miss Chao Xi, what you mean by this is that my snuff bottle... is really a treasure?"

Seeing Chao Xi questioning himself, Fang Fang's heart suddenly rose to his throat and he hurriedly changed the topic.

After thinking about the equation carefully, she felt that it made sense. Looking at the appearance of this young boy, he didn't seem to have such ability. It was just that young people had stronger hands and better luck! So she started from the equation.

He took the snuff bottle and looked at it carefully.

"Whether it's a treasure or not... I'm not sure, but judging from the craftsmanship and texture, it must be more than 1,500 yuan!"

Although their family is well-known in the collection industry, they are not professionals after all, and are not as proficient as their father and uncles, so they dare not make any assertions easily.

"Hey, you two, stop guessing here. If you want to know whether this thing is real, it's not easy..."
