Chapter 286 Cheng Yaojin appears halfway

Chapter 286 Cheng Yaojin appears halfway

There are a large number of antiques such as swords and knives that have survived in the world.

There are two reasons.

One is that the quantity produced in batches is large.

For example, the most basic military equipment and generals' standard weapons were all produced in a unified manner, and the stock was not small at the time.

But the sword is not easily damaged.

Unlike antiques such as calligraphy and painting, porcelain, etc.

It will be damaged if it is bumped or bitten by mice.

Wrap the sword in rags and place it in a corner, where it can stay for many years.

Rust is no big deal.

Because of the large quantity and easy preservation, many swords have been passed down from ancient times to the present.

Ancient metallurgical technology cannot be compared with modern metallurgical technology. Those swords are not as good as modern swords in terms of craftsmanship or practicality.

Therefore, most of the swords handed down from ancient times are not of much value.

Unless you are very famous.

For example, the sword of Gou Jian or the swords of Qin Shi Huang and Han Wudi.

Their swords represented the highest level of sword-making craftsmanship at the time, and from this we can get a glimpse of the level of metallurgy at that time.

And because of their great fame, the value of their swords is very high.

As for other weapons, even if they have existed for thousands of years, their value is limited.

"This sword should be the Longquan Sword."

Chen Jianye spoke casually, holding the scabbard and exerting light force.

With a click, the sword was unsheathed.

There is also rust on the sword, but compared to the scabbard, there is much less rust.

"The Longquan Sword is no good either. It can't be sold at a high price."

Yang Haoming still shook his head.

The so-called Longquan Sword is not the name of a certain sword, but a sword produced in the Longquan area.

Since ancient times, Longquan has been famous for its expertise in making weapons.

All swords produced by Longquan can be collectively called Longquan swords.

"What if it's the royal sword?"

Chen Jianye smiled slightly.

"That's worth some money."

Yang Haoming thought for a while and said.

"Haoming, please ask the shop owner what the price of this sword is. If it's under eighty, it's not impossible to buy it."

Chen Jianye said casually.

His appreciation for this sword has a greater meaning.

From now on, putting a sword in the room will make it more meaningful.

Just think of it as adding categories to your own collection.

After a while, Yang Haoming returned and shook his head gently: "The store wants 130 yuan, not a penny less."

"Then don't do it."

Chen Jianye put the sword in his hand back onto the wooden rack.

After looking at the store’s collection, Chen Jianye asked Yang Haoming about two antiques.

The prices are not quite right.

The rate of return doesn’t even reach 100,000 times.

Instead of spending a lot of money to buy them, it is better to save the money and use it on antiques with higher returns.

After leaving the store, Chen Jianye continued to stroll around.

In the third store, Yang Haoming explained his purpose to the owner, and then he followed Chen Jianye to learn how to select antiques.

Chen Jianye discovered that there were other customers in the store.

Among them, a man and a woman attracted the most attention.

It’s not that their looks or demeanor are different from those of ordinary people, but that they talk in low voices when selecting antiques.

Chen Jianye had sharp ears and sharp eyes, so the discussion between the two naturally did not escape his ears.

"This snuff bottle is obviously fake. The enamel is too crude. It's not as good as the one I have."

"This fan is simply misleading. Mr. Banqiao doesn't use a fan at all, but there is even Mr. Banqiao's seal on it, making it look like the real thing."

"This teacup is definitely not a chicken-glazed cup. I don't even need to put my hand in it to know that the surface of the cup is not smooth."

Most of the time, it is the men who are talking, and the women occasionally agree with them.

Chen Jianye glanced at the two of them and then looked at the antiques on the wooden shelf.

He looked at the antiques very quickly, finishing a row of shelves in more than ten minutes. Then he and a couple sitting opposite him looked at the antiques on the wooden shelves through the wooden shelves.

Chen Jianye saw a small blue and white porcelain tea bowl. The blue and white color on the surface of the bowl was bright and the patterns were clear. Looking at the blue and white porcelain bowl for a few more times, it seemed as if the person on it was about to jump out.

The tea bowl has a lid and is a relatively rare antique.

Chen Jianye reached out and grabbed the small porcelain bowl.

Just as his fingers were about to fall on the tea bowl, the man opposite stretched out a hand and took the porcelain tea bowl before Chen Jianye.

"This tea bowl looks nice. I see you've been staring at it for a while. If you're interested, let's buy it."

The man also saw Chen Jianye on the other side of the wooden frame, but ignored him and turned to look at the woman.

"you......"

Qiu Jibin was about to get angry at that moment.

They obviously liked it and reached out to take it, but they didn't expect the man opposite to snatch it away.

Chen Jianye waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter.

It's just a tea bowl that looks like a genuine one. The antique street is so big that tea bowls are not rare items.

There is no need to argue with others.

This time, Chen Jianye came here mainly to test his own ability, and whether to sell it or not was secondary.

There are so many antiques, it is impossible for him to own all of them.

"Comrade, I'm sorry."

Across the wooden shelf, the woman spoke softly.

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Jianye smiled slightly.

"Nian En, why are you apologizing to him? According to the rules of our Panjiayuan, whoever gets the antique first gets to appreciate it."

"I didn't use any tricks. He's not as quick as me. What's there to say?"

The man said somewhat unhappily.

"National Day, stop talking."

Rong Nian'en felt a little helpless.

Although Liu Guoqing was quite unhappy, he still kept his mouth shut.

Chen Jianye continued to look at the antiques.

Liu Guoqing and Rong Nian'en on the opposite side looked at the porcelain tea bowls they had just received.

Soon, Chen Jianye finished looking at the second shelf.

Then he checked the third shelf.

Liu Guoqing and Rong Nian'en were still looking at the porcelain tea bowl.

Rong Nian'en glanced at Chen Jianye in surprise. The latter looked at the antiques so quickly that even Rong Nian'en was surprised.

"Don't pay any attention to those who are just trying to attract attention."

Liu Guoqing sneered and commented.

He didn't mention anyone by name, but it was obvious who he was talking about.

"Say less."

Rong Nian'en played with the porcelain bowl for a while and made a judgment: "This tea bowl should be real, what do you think?"

"It is definitely genuine and worth buying."

Liu Guoqing echoed: "I'll take it down now."

After saying that, he took the tea bowl and walked towards the counter.

Rong Nian'en pursed his lips but didn't stop him.

Her eyes fell on Chen Jianye.

Seeing Chen Jianye appreciating antiques as if he was just passing through a cursory inspection, Rong Nian'en felt a little confused.

Is this the way to appreciate antiques?

too fast.

"Haoming, please ask the store owner how much this plate costs."

"If it's less than sixty dollars, you can buy it."

Coincidentally, Chen Jianye reached out and grabbed a colorful plate from the wooden rack.

"Good."

Yang Haoming took the colored tray with both hands and left with a smile.

Chen Jianye continued to look at various antiques.

Rong Nian'en was cautious.

She took a glance at the plate that Chen Jianye had just taken down. The texture was indeed good. It might be authentic.

"This person is really strange. Can you pick out the genuine goods in this way?"

Rong Nian'en was confused and had many questions.

But she and Chen Jianye were complete strangers, so it was impossible for her to find out the truth.

After a while, Liu Guoqing came back with a porcelain bowl.

"The store owner offered 110 yuan for this bowl, but I waived the change for my face and bought it for 100 yuan."

"Nian En, this is for you."

Liu Guoqing said excitedly.
