chapter 5 A pile of old ceramic tiles

Chloe Yelenski chuckled and said, "Just kidding, don't mind. I'll take you to an interesting place."

Chloe Yelenski took a taxi and drove for twenty minutes. They arrived at a pedestrian street. There were many tourists on the street and there were stalls on both sides of the street.

Daven Walker asked in surprise: "Is this here?"

Chloe Yelenski walked in front and said, "The Javadoria is most famous for its street market culture. Don't you want to try your luck again? Last time, your luck was pretty good."

Daven Walker felt a sudden movement, and he followed Chloe Yelenski and walked quickly to the street.

"This street is the most famous antique street in the Javadoria. Although there are many fakes. However, there are also people selling their collections here. If you are lucky, you can also find some."

Daven Walker looked around and found that there were several customers standing in front of each stall. They were holding small flashlights and carefully observing the things in their hands in a professional manner.

In the corner of the street, there was a middle-aged man from the countryside. He squatted on the ground and smoked cigarettes one after another. In front of him lay a blue cloth sheet covered with porcelain tiles, some large and some small, of various colors.

He took a look, pulled Chloe Yelenski and asked, "Chloe Yelenski, why are there still people selling broken porcelain?"

Chloe Yelenski took a look and smiled: "Even if good things are broken, they still have collection value. Don't underestimate these porcelain pieces. Some precious ones cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands per piece. Some people also make porcelain pieces into Crafts, such as pendants, necklaces, rings.”

Wu Dong became interested. He walked to the stall and observed it carefully.

The squatting middle-aged man glanced at him and continued to smoke without saying a word.

Wu Dong took a closer look and found that there were seven or eight hundred pieces of broken porcelain, and more than a hundred of them all exuded the same aura.

This kind of atmosphere is very gorgeous and bookish, which makes people very comfortable.

He picked up a piece of porcelain that exuded this kind of smell, and found that its surface had fine micro-cracks with cicada wing patterns. The color was unique, changing with the light, bright but not dazzling, like jade but not jade.

He felt that the porcelain piece looked very comfortable, so he smiled and asked: "Boss, I don't understand. What dynasty is this porcelain piece from?"

The middle-aged man glanced down and said, "You can give it to me. It's dug out of the ground and put in a big porcelain jar. I've seen it with people and it's good stuff."

Daven Walker knew that this fellow didn't know much about antiques, so he asked, "Then how do you sell them?"

"Three hundred and one catty." The middle-aged man said immediately, and then added, "Everything is cheap."

Daven Walker nodded: "If there aren't that many, I'll just pick a few."

As he spoke, he picked out more than a hundred pieces of porcelain with the same smell and wrapped them in cloth.

When selecting porcelain pieces, he made an unexpected discovery. When he looked through something, the image of that thing would be firmly imprinted in his mind and he could not forget it.

When he selected more than a hundred porcelain pieces, some of these porcelain pieces were combined into a complete utensil in his mind. It was a long-necked flask, which was very beautiful.

"Could it be that the whole thing was broken into pieces?" He thought to himself.

There were a total of one hundred and seventy-nine porcelain pieces, weighing twenty-eight pounds and seven taels. In the end, he gave the fellow villager 8,600 yuan. He didn't have so much cash with him and used his mobile phone to transfer money.

Chloe Yelenski was picking something at the stall opposite. When she saw Daven Walker carrying a pack of porcelain tiles, she pursed her lips and said, "No way, you really bought it?"

Daven Walker grinned: "It looks pretty good to me. Maybe I can put together a complete thing."

"Okay, I hope you succeed."Chloe Yelenski shook his head, disapproving of his words.

After that, they visited several stalls but found nothing. When they were almost at the end of the street, they came to a stall selling paintings.

There are dozens of ancient paintings on the table, and the boss claims that these are all authentic works of famous people.

Daven Walker scanned them one by one and finally found a painting in the corner. Although it has not been opened, I feel that there is an aura of prosperity on it, which has something in common with the decay of the Xuantong Silver Coin.

He picked up the painting and unfolded it slowly, and saw a rooster painted on it. He didn't know much about painting, but he thought the big cock he painted looked very similar.

Chloe Yelenski glanced sideways and said immediately: "Don't look at it. The painting is too rough. It must be the work of a craftsman."

The boss was not happy when he heard this and said: "Little girl, it's okay if you don't understand, but please don't talk nonsense!"

Daven Walker smiled "haha" and asked: "Boss, how much does this painting cost?"

The boss glanced at him sideways: "If you want it, eight hundred is enough. I sold it for one thousand before."

Daven Walker knew that this painting was extraordinary and immediately started bargaining: "Boss, I really like this big rooster. Let's do this. I'll take two hundred."

The boss looked pained: "Young man, I'm going to lose two hundred yuan. How about this, I'll give you three hundred yuan."

After Daven Walker persisted for a while, he took out 300 yuan and bought this unknown painting with a big rooster.

Seeing that Daven Walker Chloe Yelenski n't listen to the advice, Yun Xi sighed softly. After leaving the stall, she immediately said: " Daven Walker, three hundred yuan is not much, but didn't you hear what I said? This is a craftsman's painting. It can be sold for five yuan a piece in the wholesale market. Believe it or not?"

Daven Walker still smiled and said: "Believe it! But Gorgeous, I still ask your grandfather to help me look at this painting. I always feel that it is not simple."

Chloe Yelenski rolled her eyes helplessly: "Okay, but when the time comes my grandpa will scold you for being blind, so don't blame me."

After leaving the park, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Daven Walker sent Chloe Yelenski home. The place where Chloe Yelenski lived was a mansion area. Daven Walker did not go in and waved goodbye at the door. When leaving, he handed the ancient coins and paintings to Chloe Yelenski. As for the porcelain tiles, he kept them with him for the time being because they were too bulky.

He was thinking about the ancient coins and paintings, so he stayed in a nearby hotel.

The next morning, he was woken up by a phone ringing. When he looked at his phone, it showed that it was Chloe Yelenski.

After answering the phone, he smiled and said, "Good morning, Chloe Yelenski."

"It's still early, it's already half past nine."Chloe Yelenski's voice was still so pleasant, "I'm going to see grandpa to appraise the silver coins, will you come?"

Daven Walker thought for a while and felt that it was not good to disturb others, so he said: "I won't go. I'll bother you to tell me the result later."

"Okay, wait for my good news."

After hanging up the phone, Daven Walker took a shower and then went to the brand store downstairs to buy himself a set of decent clothes. Before that, in order to save money for Melissa Zimmerman, he never wore clothes worth more than two hundred yuan.

Now, he suddenly thought, money is money only when it is spent, otherwise it is just a piece of waste paper. So, he spent more than 3,000 yuan to replace it with new ones inside and out.

As the saying goes: People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold.

Daven Walker is 1.78 meters tall and is 1.8 meters tall in shoes. He is not particularly handsome, but he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is quite masculine. Now that I put on new clothes, I feel much more energetic immediately.

As soon as he walked out of the store, Chloe Yelenski called again.

"Hey, Daven Walker, are you nearby?"

Daven Walker heart skipped a beat. Is there any result? He said: "Yes."

"Congratulations. From the looks of it grandpa, your silver coin is probably real." She smiled, "You'd better come here in person."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."Daven Walker eyes lit up and he said quickly.
