Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 603 Picking up the leaks

Gao Mingcheng's return was welcomed by everyone.

When Deng Wanwan confessed her past to Wang Xun, Gao Mingcheng was a character who had to be mentioned.

If Gao Mingcheng hadn't happened to meet her while driving a car and had the courage to rescue her from a crowd of people, Deng Wanwan's life would have been ruined.

Later, out of sympathy, Gao Mingcheng and his wife took great care of her. Not only did they give her nutritional supplements, but they also allowed her to sell clothes in the store.

Of course, Deng Wanwan did not tell Wang Xun about the past that Gao Mingli had entangled with her. She only said that she couldn't stand the gossip of her relatives and friends, so she decided to go out and make a living.

After Deng Wanwan returned to the county, she had been to the clothing store several times, but by chance she never ran into Gao Mingli again, and Gao Mingli did not show any inappropriate emotions afterwards.

That incident naturally went away with the wind, leaving no trace.

After Wang Xun learned about Deng Wanwan's past, he became even more enthusiastic about Gao Mingcheng. This was his wife's savior!

Seeing Gao Mingcheng, Wang Xun jumped out of the car and said with a smile: "Mingcheng, should we go to the scenic spot tomorrow or go to Panjiayuan first?"

Deng Wanwan also got out of the passenger seat. In order to make it easier to travel farther to collect scrap, they bought a pickup truck. Compared with the original bicycle, it was a shotgun for a cannon.

The bed of the pickup truck was filled with scraps collected today, so Deng Zhiyong stepped forward to unload the items.

With everyone's help, the waste in the truck was unloaded, mainly waste paper and plastic bottles, but also some other miscellaneous items, and even some broken porcelain pieces.

The so-called garbage is actually misplaced treasure!

Gao Mingcheng sat in the passenger seat and looked at the buildings and all kinds of people outside through the car window.

Because in order not to affect the ornamental value of the bowl surface and the bottle body, when testing, we always start from the bottom of the bowl and the bottom of the bottle, but these two things are real!

Relying on this, counterfeit goods once ran rampant in the market, allowing counterfeiters to make a fortune.

However, we had agreed before that when we went to scenic spots, we would take Deng Zhiyong and his wife along to have a long experience.

It's cloudy today, and depending on the weather, there's a good chance it'll be cloudy tomorrow too.

It's still early spring, and the north is famous for its short necks in spring. The scenery at this moment must be very ordinary.

And when it comes to traveling, it must be bustling because of the large number of people.

The next day, it was indeed a cloudy day. In the north in early spring, the cold wind was still blowing against his face. Gao Mingcheng was in good physical condition, so he was naturally not afraid of the cold. He wore a base layer inside and a jacket outside, and he was good enough to go out.

Gao Mingcheng also stepped forward to lend a hand, and then said: "I can do it, but the weather has not been very good these two days, so I'd better go to Panjiayuan first, and then go to the scenic spots when the weather clears up."

The same cannot be said for Wang Xun, who still has to wear a woolen sweater in the middle.

Wang Xun nodded: "Okay!"

Wang Xun is familiar with this place, because he owns a pickup truck, so he doesn't need to take a bus, but can go directly to Panjiayuan.

Looking at the other broken porcelain pieces, Gao Mingcheng found that these broken porcelain pieces were mainly at the bottom of bowls and bottles, with only a few large pieces of porcelain bottles.

Facing him, Wang Xun did not hide it, but said generously: "Someone also collects these rags. If I see them outside, I will pick them up easily."

At this time, there are naturally more vehicles in the capital, but the most numerous ones are bicycles.

Because we were going to Panjiayuan, we didn’t take Deng Wanwan and her parents with us.

Judging from the glyphs and the texture of the porcelain, it should be authentic, but the bowl has been broken into pieces and cannot even be pieced together as a whole.

Gao Mingcheng picked up these broken porcelain pieces and found that one of them was the bottom of a bowl with the four characters "Wanli Year System" printed on it.

He had already made some guesses about the purpose of these porcelains.

For ordinary people, what use can broken porcelain pieces be? At most, it can be used to scrape ginger skin!

But for people who are counterfeiting antiques, a genuine bowl bottom and bottle bottom are very important!

Nowadays, when there are not many detection methods, people with good skills can use the real bowl base to fake it, and the fake can easily be mistaken for the real thing!

On the road, you can see teams of bicycles from time to time. They are all going to work. When they arrive at a factory, the flow of people in the team will begin to diverge.

In addition to workers working in factories, staff working in other units also mainly travel by bicycle. After all, most wages nowadays are a few hundred yuan, but a car can easily cost tens of thousands of yuan!

If it is an imported car, it can cost more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan!

An ordinary worker will not be able to afford an imported car even if he works for a lifetime.

The capital is huge, so the pickup truck drove for more than an hour before gradually slowing down and stopping at an empty space.

Wang Xun and Gao Mingcheng got off the car one after another. When they got off the car, Wang Xun did not rush to take Gao Mingcheng in. Instead, he took out an iron chain from under the seat, connected the steering wheel and door, and then used Lock it up with a lock.

This may seem a bit nondescript, but it is the only way to prevent the car from being stolen.

Today's cars have very poor anti-theft features. For example, in Hong Kong movies, there are often scenes of car theft.

As for thieves, they can be found everywhere!

After Wang Xun locked the steering wheel, he also locked the car door. His car had been modified and a pair of round holes were welded on the door and body of the car, which can be used to hang iron locks.

"Let's go." Feeling that everything was safe, Wang Xun took Gao Mingcheng in.

It was morning when they came, but there were already many people here.

Some vendors directly lay a piece of cloth on the ground, and the goods are placed on the cloth for anyone to choose. Next to it, there are also antique-style shops. The goods here are naturally more expensive and more authentic.

Of course, it can’t be completely true!

Whether you can buy the real thing depends on your own eyesight.

If you don't have good eyesight and want to buy genuine goods, you have to find an expert to take them with you, or go to a friendship store to buy them. They also sell antiques there, but you need foreign exchange coupons.

Wang Xun glanced at the antique shops with envy and said to Gao Mingcheng, "Let's just go shopping at the street stalls!"

The things in the store are too expensive and they can't afford them!

Gao Mingcheng was convinced. He had just bought a small bungalow and only had tens of thousands of dollars in his pocket!

Ten thousand yuan sounds like a lot, but in fact it will be spent very quickly.

But if he is lucky and can find something good at the street stall, he will make a profit!

There are all kinds of things on the stalls here. Gao Mingcheng saw someone in front of him holding a bag of muddy items, saying that they were just dug out of the ground and were treasures of the Song Dynasty. There were some utensils and a pair of Picture scroll of "Yang Jiajun".

The person who owned these things looked like he was an old farmer, but there were several people surrounding his stall, the most eye-catching of which were two foreigners.

The blond foreigner naturally attracted Gao Mingcheng's attention.

At this time, the owner of the goods had already begun to promote his goods. He opened the yellow scroll and revealed half of the contents inside.

The painting showed a battle between the two armies. It looked like the battle was quite heroic. The owner of the goods was displaying the items while saying: "The Yang family is full of loyal soldiers, and the female generals of the Yang family are even more like women. They are respectable and admirable." ! Look, this Mu Guiying is fighting on a horse, how heroic he is!" The corner of Gao Mingcheng's mouth suddenly twitched. Although his history is not very good, at least he knows that in real history, there is no Mu Guiying’s!

Yang Jiajun and She Taijun do exist!

This counterfeiter is so careless!

Or is it to screen out more suitable victims?

For example, some telecommunications scams in later generations obviously had many flaws. Many people would feel something was wrong when they heard it and hung up the phone, but some people still fell for it!

Most of the scammers' tricks are very clever, but why are there flaws in the first place? Just to screen out the deceived!

Once you have screened out the deceived people, you can then sharpen your sword and fight against the pigs and sheep!

Wang Xun has a family background in the antique business. When he saw Gao Mingcheng's expression, he immediately whispered: "Just take care of yourself here, and don't help others crack down on counterfeiting!"

There seems to be only one of these sellers, but in fact most of them commit crimes in gangs. Others are scattered around, and those who even crowd in front of the stall to inquire about prices may be one of their own.

Therefore, if Gao Mingcheng comes forward to crack down on counterfeiting, it will lead to gang retaliation.

This person is unfamiliar with the place, so there is really no need to cause trouble.

Gao Mingcheng naturally would not do such a thankless thing. He nodded, indicating that he knew how to do it.

So they crossed this stall and continued to look at other stalls.

Standing in Panjiayuan, you can see many street stall owners and goods. They are either soliciting customers or bargaining with people. The place is very noisy.

The tourists visiting the street stalls include local uncles, businessmen from other places, and foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes.

Gao Mingcheng and Wang Xun were among the crowd, inconspicuous at all.

Suddenly, sounds of greetings came from the front, and several stall owners nearby greeted a man wearing old-style robes.

"Boss Wang, are you here for shopping? Come and take a look at my goods!"

"Look at me, look at me! I have a new batch of goods!"

"What's so interesting about your goods? It's up to me! I received a batch of rare goods two days ago. I've been hiding them, and no one has seen them yet! Boss Wang, come here, I'll let you be the first Take a look!"

The stall owners were extremely enthusiastic and wanted to call the young man in long robes to come over and see their goods.

Gao Mingcheng looked at it curiously. Wang Xun had been here several times, and immediately said to Gao Mingcheng: "That boss Wang in the robe is a well-known figure here! It is said that he was born in poverty, but he has good eyesight. , a few years ago, he picked up a great treasure at a street stall, and then he heard that he won a stone bet, and a fine emerald was cut out of the rough stone he bought!"

"With these, he opened a shop here and became Boss Wang!"

For these famous figures, Wang Xunna is a treasure trove.

He even found several people with some background in the crowd and whispered it to Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng's eyes flickered over them, and there were two familiar faces among them, which surprised Gao Mingcheng.

Of those two familiar faces, one is an antique dealer and the other is a tomb robber.

These two people were walking side by side, did they know each other? But didn’t that antique dealer open an antique shop in Jinling?

As an ancient capital, Jinling also has a lot of antiques.

Gao Mingcheng quickly looked away. He was not familiar with these two people in his previous life, and naturally he had no intersection with them in this life.

His eyes returned to Boss Wang.

Boss Wang is about thirty years old, and he has a pair of Wenwan walnuts in his hand. Judging from the color of the walnuts, they are already coated with pulp.

He kept playing with his hands, looking extremely skilled, while his eyes were looking at the goods on the stall.

He looked quickly, almost at a glance.

"I'm going to go shopping elsewhere." Boss Wang's attitude was gentle and his voice was pleasant, but his departure was not sloppy at all.

It can be seen that there is nothing he wants in these stalls.

But just because Boss Wang doesn't want them, it doesn't mean that these goods are all fake. At most, they have limited value, so they can't be noticed by Boss Wang.

The stall owners were quite disappointed when they saw this, but they still had to do business as usual. So they attracted other customers one after another.

Gao Mingcheng walked all the way, and finally stopped in front of a stall, then squatted down and reached out to pick up a bowl.

This stall is not big, and there are not many things on it. It doesn't look very valuable.

"This bowl is baked. How much do you want it for?" Gao Mingcheng asked straight to the point.

The bowl in his hand seemed to be in one piece, but in fact it was broken. If you look carefully, you can see that there are traces of baking on it.

When the stall owner saw someone asking for price, he immediately said: "This is a bowl from the Tang Dynasty..."

Gao Mingcheng glanced at him and said, "I know this is Gao ancient porcelain, but it didn't come from one of the five famous kilns, so it's not valuable."

Wang Xun was also looking at it and said: "This antique depends not only on its age, but also on its condition and market. In these years, ancient porcelain is worthless. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, people who do not know how to cheat can people."

Hearing their words, the stall owner immediately knew that they were experts, so he held out two fingers and said, "If you want it, bring it with you."

Gao Mingcheng gave him two yuan and took away the baked Tang Dynasty bowl.

Two yuan is not expensive, but Wang Xun still didn't understand, and said: "Why did you buy it? You can get a good ancient porcelain for only ten yuan at most!"

Gao Mingcheng said: "In the past, everyone used things carefully. If the iron pot was broken, they would repair the pot. If the bowl was broken, they would bake the bowl. But with more and more factories, people's living standards are getting better and better. In the future, tinkerers will , bowl-baking craftsmen, will disappear. I bought this bowl just because it has been baked, and the craftsman's skill in baking bowls is quite good."

It's good to pick up leaks, but in life, you can't pick up leaks everywhere, so Gao Mingcheng will buy some things that he thinks are good and meaningful.

After the bowl baker disappears, I'm afraid many people won't know that there was such a thing as bowl baking.

This baked bowl is a mark of an era.

After spending two yuan to buy a bowl, Gao Mingcheng and Wang Xun continued to look forward. They walked slowly and looked slowly. They could not pick out the best products by just looking at them like Boss Wang.

Anyway, there is plenty of time, so Gao Mingcheng and Wang Xun are not in a hurry, just take their time!
