Chapter 53

Yuxiangzhai is not in the antique city, and is more than 300 meters away from the antique city. It is an old antique shop with independent store on the street. The store is large. The shops are their own, so there is no ordinary antique shop facing huge rent pressure. When business is not good, it will only have less income.

While shops in nearby antique city closed one after another, the old Yuxiangzhai stood firm and became better and better.

When Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao arrived at Yuxiangzhai, it was already 8:30 in the evening. After parking the car, Xia Yu went to the trunk to get things. The carton he used to hold gold bars was not big, and twenty gold bars did not take up much space. This time, he did not like before. Each gold bar was packed separately in a box. Just wrap it in bubble paper to save space.

Another large carton, Bai Yujiao, probably contains porcelain. The fragile porcelain packaging takes up a lot of space. Now it is usually wrapped in bubble film and then packaged for express delivery or transportation.

What surprised Bai Yujiao the most was that he actually prepared a foam box that was not big but tightly sealed. This was not like a costume for antiques, but more like a seafood box that he used to send her crabs and milk mouths.

She asked Xia Yu immediately, and he nodded and admitted, "It was all picked up by himself. My junior sister likes to eat it, so she brings it here. Anyway, it's convenient now."

Bai Yu smiled like a flower, "Thank you, senior brother. I was embarrassed to eat for free. I didn't expect that my senior brother was so generous, so I could eat and take it."

Xia Yu smiled and said, "It's not worth much, so take it back for the old man and the others to try it."

He was joking and moving the things to the store. Although he was more powerful than three boxes, it was not easy to move. Bai Yujiao insisted on helping her. Xia Yu moved the largest but lightest cardboard box for her. Then, before Bai Yujiao left, he followed closely behind.

There are no customers in the store at this moment, and not many people visit antique shops during the day, let alone at night.

Bai Yujiao's grandfather was inside. Seeing the two of them coming in with things, Bai Gaorui, who was both white-bearded and white, hurriedly greeted the two, "Ayu, Xiaojiao is here!"

"The old man looks very energetic recently!" Xia Yu said with a smile. He and Bai Gaorui met earlier than Bai Yujiao. The two first met at "Tianguangxu" in Yuhai City. Later, they met Bai Yujiao who followed him to visit "Tianguangxu". At that time, she was still a senior high school student. Bai Gaorui kept asking him to call him the old man, and he fulfilled the old man's wish.

After Bai Yujiao gently put down the cardboard box, she turned around and closed the store door, closed the light sign at the door, and closed the store.

Then, she did not participate in their unboxing, but skillfully made tea for them, which was the oolong tea produced in this province.

Make tea is a daily routine in antique shops!

Especially people here love to drink tea. Old friends and old customers come to the store to make tea, taste tea, brag, and pick out some untouched things. Usually, tourists or novices who come to the store to check out don’t need to make tea.

After Bai Yujiao closed the store, Xia Yu could also take out these things from the carton with confidence. After he bought the car himself, it would be much more convenient. At the very least, he didn't have to go through security checks frequently. High-speed rail and subway are required for security checks. Although he didn't go abroad to pass the customs, there would basically be no problems.

The visual impact of twenty gold bars is just like that. If you only calculate the price of gold, it will be less than three million.

However, the gold bars that Xia Yu took out have historical and cultural relics value, and are not comparable to gold bars that are simply used as investment in the market. If he chooses to recast these gold bars, the price will only be similar to ordinary gold bars or even lower.

Bai Gaorui still carefully checked the quality of each gold bar, which was good for each other so that it would not be difficult to explain it clearly. Last time Xia Yu didn't even come forward, but only asked Bai Yujiao to bring five gold bars, saying it was trust, but from another perspective, it could be regarded as a test.

Bai Gaorui dared to say that if they dared to have any wrong ideas, Xia Yu would definitely not choose to cooperate with them again.

The quality of the twenty gold bars this time is still as high as before. Bai Gaorui also keeps records one by one, the key is to weigh them and take photos.

Xia Yu now has a lot of experience when dealing with these wrecked treasures.

The gold bars are fine, just clean the surface, but they can't be as bright and dazzling as the newly cast gold bars. After all, after spending hundreds of years at the seabed, it is inevitable that some other colors will be contaminated. But it is these traces that show that these gold bars have a historical heavy feeling, not as simple as pure gold.

In addition, the shape of the gold bar, the handwriting and logo on it, etc., also seem to tell people the vicissitudes of history.

Bai Gaorui recorded all twenty gold bars and explained the truth to him, "The weight and shape of each gold bar are different, and the price of the ones that can be sold will vary. Before, our store purchased them for 300,000 yuan each, so Ayu has no objection, right?"

Xia Yu shook his head and said he had no objection, and said with a smile, "The old man has a wide connection and can find a collection that he likes them, which is a merit."

"You boy can speak!" Bai Gaorui said happily. He had long seen Xia Yu was not an honest person. Honest people would not think about doing such salvage. After all, it was not allowed by law. "Our store still collects fifteen pieces first. Do you think it is for the other ones to be consigned in the store or what? The key is that our funds are limited, so the ones in the future may not be transferred to you so quickly."

"You guys, please do it. It's okay to be at this price." Xia Yu replied.

Bai Gaorui nodded and said, "Okay! We will notify you if there is good news. I will transfer the money for ten gold bars to you later."

Bai Yujiao suddenly interrupted, "Grandpa, why don't we buy five more people first? Senior brother is going to buy a house in Yuhai."

Bai Gaorui smiled meaningfully, "Does Xiaojiao know so clearly about him buying a house?"

Bai Yu's pretty face turned slightly red and explained, "After graduation, my senior brother has no place to stay in Yuhai. I also want my senior brother to come to Yuhai often and eat seafood! This time he brought us a box."

"Xiaojiao's plan is quite good!" Bai Gaorui smiled. He naturally saw the foam box that Xia Yu had just brought in and confirmed the seafood inside, but it is unknown what it was. He thought it was a green mouth and crab that his granddaughter liked. "A Yu is intent."

"Pick this kind of seafood at our beach, so you can eat it if you like it, old man." Xia Yu said with a smile. Fortunately, no one in their family can eat seafood with gout.

So, Bai Gaorui decided to buy five more gold bars first. Add the five in the early stage. They purchased a total of twenty, each with 300,000 yuan. Xia Yu's total income was 6 million yuan.

This time Xia Yu had a relatively sufficient budget to buy a house, and he had already bought a car and spent less than 500,000 yuan.

After a while, when Bai Gaorui invited Xia Yupin to taste tea, he also asked Bai Yujiao to help him and transferred the money to him through mobile banking. This can be regarded as paying the money and delivering the goods in the same order. The other five gold bars were sold by Xia Yu in the store. Of course, he also said that it would be completely OK to give him 300,000 yuan per piece of Yuxiangzhai!

Bai Yujiao is not aimless. She knows the economic situation of Yu Xiangzhai best. The main reason is that they had transferred all the first five gold bars to the boss in need yesterday, and had relatively sufficient funds to acquire the gold bars in his hand.

Xia Yu's mobile phone soon received a 4.5 million yuan account reminder. As long as it is not on the auction, there is no need to pay taxes and there is no way to check it.

"Good tea!" After the gold bar transaction was completed, Xia Yu also discussed with their grandfather and grandson about the various oolong teas they drank in the store.

People in Guangdong Province love to drink tea, and they all speak well. Bai Yujiao also said, "Senior brother likes to drink tea. I will give you some tea leaves. I asked someone to buy it from the place of origin."

Xia Yu didn't know what kind of politeness meant, so he nodded and thanked her for his kindness.

After tasting the tea, I started to look at the porcelain brought by Xia Yu. He had brought some porcelain to the store before, and Bai Gaorui and Bai Yujiao had enough psychological expectations. Including the shape of gold bars, the weight and other aspects, they could also judge the general era. They were engaged in the antique and cultural relics industry, which was the most basic skill.

Even though Xia Yu had taken photos and sent them to them before, they were still shocked when they saw the authentic ones.

Xia Yu brought the blue and white porcelain first this time, and he still unpacked it one by one.

The first thing I took out was a blue and white floral texture plate. The first feeling that it caught my eye was brand new and even a little dazzling.

This blue and white floral pattern plate is similar to the newly made porcelain, but they are all old experts. In addition to the brand new features, they value more the shape of the instrument, painting, and decoration.

Bai Yujiao also asked him, "Senior Brother, these porcelains have been removed from salt and processed!"

Xia Yu nodded and said yes, Bai Yujiao and Bai Gaorui were relieved, otherwise, they would not dare to start with further appraisal.

When you take it, you can see it more clearly. Although the porcelain is new, the painting style, patterns, and shape are obviously the characteristics of the Kangxi Dynasty. The bottom foot is not marked, the treatment is narrow and flat, the inner wall is deep and the outer wall is shallow, which are all typical characteristics of the Kangxi Dynasty porcelain.

The following blue and white floral pattern powder box was also brand new.

But if you look closely, you will find that the glaze on the front of this piece of porcelain is obviously different from the glaze inside the ring foot. The glaze on the bottom is white and has thin and deep brown eyes. The foot wall is treated in a disguised double-layer step style, which are typical Kangxi styles.

This is basically consistent with the porcelain era presented by Xia Yu before, and is both the characteristics of porcelain from the late Kangxi period.

The most rare thing is that the quality of these two porcelains is particularly well preserved, and there seems to be no trace of time left on it. The common shells and other marine sediments in haystack porcelain are also completely gone.
