Chapter 320 Bronze
Zhu Suisui was interested and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
I have seen purple mist once, which was that piece of rag. Until now, Zhu Suisui didn't know where it came from. He originally wanted to ask Old Man Shou, but he had too many things on his hands. Then it seemed that Old Man Shou wanted him to learn more before telling him about these things.
Zhu Suisui didn't want to ask others everything, but what he learned from Old Man Shou was still very useful.
Take porcelain as an example. From its development to its rise and then to its peak, these histories have also made Zhu Suisui understand this industry better. Old Man Shou is more like an encyclopedia. As long as it is about antiques, you can ask him the right question.
For example, this time, in addition to using her supernatural powers to identify these antiques, Zhu Suisui also began to use her knowledge points and found that they really matched, which also made her understand these antiques better.
This is why I wish you have fun shopping in the New Year.
However, this time, apart from the purple mist, Zhu Suisui could not see anything else clearly. It happened too quickly, and the people behind him immediately stepped forward to cover the bag. Originally, it was held by one person, but later it became two people who held it, and they surrounded the thing tightly.
It was impossible for Zhu Suisui to go up directly, because that was someone else's thing, and judging from how much they valued it, Zhu Suisui felt that there was a high probability that he would not be able to get it.
She didn't want to be high-profile this time in Guangzhou, so she had to resign.
It's impossible for all the good things to happen to me.
That's how the matter ended.
Zhu Sui walked around for a while but didn't see any particularly good antiques. She had come to Guangzhou to try her luck, so she felt a little sorry. If she had known in her previous life that she would be reborn, she would definitely ask Old Man Mei about this matter clearly.
For example, where do those antiques come from?
It was only said that they flowed into Guangzhou, but how come Guangzhou suddenly had such a large number of antiques?
Zhu Sui's age is unknown.
She couldn't figure it out by herself.
Uncle Long saw that she seemed to have lost interest, so he said, "You haven't found anything you like yet? How long do you plan to stay here? If it's a long time, tell me what you want and I'll find it for you."
Zhu Suisui had no idea, but he thought that what Mr. Mei had in his hand was a bronze cup, which was estimated to have a history of at least two thousand years.
When Mr. Mei got it, the other party was selling it as if it were a broken cup.
He was lucky, otherwise there were so many knowledgeable people in the city and it would have been difficult for him to get the item.
No one knew where the traders at that time got the goods from. Most of them were not knowledgeable people in the business. They just did the business because they saw that they could make money. They didn't know much about these things and often mistook the treasures for ordinary toys, so it was normal for them to make mistakes.
Since it is bronze, Zhu Suisui thinks that maybe this batch of things are bronzeware.
She could start from there.
Think of this.
Zhu Suisui said, "Uncle Long, my grandfather likes bronzeware. I have looked around here but haven't seen any of this kind. Is there no bronzeware in Guangzhou?"
Bronzeware?
Uncle Long really doesn't quite understand this, as he is not a dealer specializing in antiques.
In fact, the things he sells most are related to import and export goods, such as household appliances or tape recorders. The demand is particularly high, and the development of this aspect in China is not that good. If you want to buy them through formal channels, you have to go to Friendship Stores, but the prices there are expensive and you need tickets, so ordinary people can't buy them at all.
However, Uncle Long is a kind-hearted person. After receiving the favor from Zhu Suisui, he has to do something for him.
"I'll ask around for you."
Zhu Suisui smiled and said, "That's great."
Since he couldn't find what he wanted here, he also bought some other antiques. Since there was nothing he particularly liked, Zhu Suisui decided to leave.
But before going back.
Zhu Suisui still invited Uncle Long to have a meal at the teahouse.
There is a teahouse nearby, which is quite famous.
Uncle Long introduced it, "This place is not far from Tianguang Market. The brokers there are mostly dealers, and there are also some buyers and sellers. The prices there are cheap and the taste is good."
When Zhu Suisui heard people say this, he naturally went there happily.
The things were given to Wu Wenrou.
Uncle Long looked at Wu Wenrou's petite figure and couldn't help but say on the way there: "You better keep an eye on your stuff, there are a lot of freeloaders here."
Wu Wenrou was puzzled, "What is the freeloader party?"
Uncle Long explained, "Some people are just wandering around the streets, looking at some nobles. If they have something precious in their hands, they will find an excuse to bump into you. Before you can react, the things fall into their hands. By the time you realize it, they have already run away without a trace."
There are too many such things.
Actually, he is a thief.
However, these people were relatively shameless. They knew that there were many treasures in Guangzhou, so they came up with this idea.
Throughout history, there have been many such people.
Guangzhou is more prosperous.
For example, in Tianguang Market, during the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, those who came to set up stalls or purchase goods were all antique connoisseurs from various cities. Because business was good in this area and it was close to an import and export city, people who wanted to make money naturally came here. Rich people from all over the country were also happy to come here, and even from abroad. It was no longer uncommon for people to shop for treasures here.
With such benefits, there will definitely be people who are tempted.
Uncle Long said a few more words because Wu Wenrou looked petite and was just a young girl.
Although those things are not expensive, they add up to several hundred dollars.
Who knows if you will be targeted?
When Wu Wenrou heard this, she immediately waved her fist and said, "Let anyone try."
But in Uncle Long's eyes, this look is just cute.
He smiled and shook his head. Anyway, he had reminded them of everything he needed to know. The only relationship between him and them was that of money, so there was no need to take it too seriously, lest he say too much and make others feel annoyed.
Zhu Suisui didn't say anything. Even if he told Uncle Long that anyone who wanted to steal things from Wu Wenrou would have to weigh his own strength, I'm afraid Uncle Long would feel that he was talking big. There was no point in that. An explanation is necessary.
The three of them came to the teahouse.
There are quite a lot of people at this spot, and they all look like locals. I guess they are the local brokers and profiteers that Uncle Long mentioned.
Zhu Suisui's initial idea was right, which was to go to the teahouse and wait for the brokers. However, it turned out that there were differences between teahouses. At least in the teahouse they ate at before, there definitely weren't that many brokers.
It was just by chance that I met Uncle Long.
I heard that Uncle Long lived nearby and didn't want to make money, but Zhu Suisui came to the door on his own initiative.
Money is not wasted if it is not spent.
As soon as Uncle Long entered, he ordered a few specialties in Guangzhou dialect.
This teahouse also serves Cantonese cuisine, and Uncle Long ordered some. Wu Wenrou's eyes lit up and she couldn't help swallowing.
During the meal.
Someone walked in.
