    "Wait!" Chu Chen just sighed secretly, and suddenly thought of a problem. The missing pieces were all relatively small, which meant that the value of these pieces was probably not worth a thousand yuan, and he  However, the Baojue is set to be sensitive only if it is over a thousand yuan, so the remaining fragments must not be able to sense it.  In this way, there is hope that these fragments are also in the pile of porcelain pieces.  Thinking of this, Chu Chen quickly reset the Baojue, and then sensed the stall. In the blink of an eye, fifty or sixty porcelain pieces worth more than a hundred yuan appeared in his mind, but the porcelain pieces were so  There were many, and he couldn't be sure that the missing pieces of porcelain must be inside.  Fortunately, the reality did not disappoint Chu Chen. With surprises one after another, he soon found the remaining pieces of porcelain one by one.  Next, Chu Chen picked out a total of fifty or sixty porcelain pieces, some large and some small, and except for the twenty-one porcelain pieces from the Chenghua Palace Bowl, the others were all blue and white porcelain from the late Ming Dynasty, and  The blue and white hair colors are somewhat similar at first glance, which can easily confuse the eyes.  Then, Chu Chen raised his head and asked, "Boss, how much do these tiles cost?" The stall owner first counted the tiles. There were fifty-nine tiles in total. While the stall owner was counting, Chu Chen felt very excited.  I was so nervous, for fear of being discovered by the stall owner.  Fortunately, the bottom of the Chenghua Palace bowl was smashed into three pieces, and the blue and white porcelain was mixed up. In the end, the stall owner sat back after counting. There should be no problem found, which made Chu Chen's  I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.  After counting the porcelain tiles, the stall owner hesitated for a while and then said with a smile: "Boss, you have really good eyesight. These are the fine products here. You get them for one penny. The price of these porcelain tiles must be  Higher." Having said that.  The stall owner took out one of the porcelain tiles, a relatively large one with a rich blue and white pattern, and said: "Look, I wouldn't sell a piece of porcelain like this if I don't have eighty yuan, and  There are quite a few big guys here, but seeing as how much you took at once, I¡¯ll just round it up and make it thirty yuan!¡± Don¡¯t think that thirty yuan is really thirty yuan!  Yuan, a jargon in antiques, refers to one yuan as one cent.  Ten yuan is called a dime, while a hundred yuan is only called one yuan, so the thirty yuan refers to three thousand yuan. Often some uninformed enthusiasts don't understand until the price is negotiated, which often leads to disputes.  Chu Chen was slightly startled when he heard this, thinking when did the price of porcelain tiles become so high?  You know, it¡¯s not even 2002 yet.  Not many people collect or play with porcelain tiles these days, and not many people know about the famous "Pian'erbai".  When the market demand is not strong, the price of porcelain tiles is obviously not much higher. Ordinary porcelain tiles only cost 50 cents, and only the particularly precious porcelain tiles can cost more than a thousand yuan.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????Although it is large in size and has rich blue and white patterns, it is just something from a folk kiln in the late Ming Dynasty.  Moreover, the body is rough and the glaze is rough, and the blue and white hair color is wrong and looks too light. No one will buy it even if it is thirty, let alone eighty.  Of course, when it comes to the twenty-one porcelain pieces of the Chenghua Palace Bowl, buying them for three thousand dollars is already considered a miss, but if he just agreed like that.  Then he is a stick.  Thinking of this, Chu Chen pretended to be displeased and said, "Boss, your price is too outrageous. I've never heard of such a high price for porcelain tiles!" "Boss, there's nothing I can do about it!"  The caller Qu said: "You see, you have picked out all the high-quality products. Now that you have picked out all these high-quality products, how can I sell the rest? I am a greedy person, so why don't you let me make a little profit?"  "But your price is too expensive. A piece of porcelain costs over fifty, and I can't afford it!" At this point, Chu Chen frowned and hesitated for a while, and then seemed a little reluctant to give up.  Like the piece of porcelain from the late Ming Dynasty just now, all the porcelain pieces of similar size were picked out, leaving only some medium or small pieces. Then he said: "Boss, look, I have picked out all the high-quality ones.  These should be cheaper, right? " "Uh" The stall opened his mouth. He really didn't know what to say, but who told him just now that it would be difficult to sell without high-quality products? Now these so-called high-quality products  If everything was returned to him, then the reason he just mentioned would no longer apply.  Could it be that the young man in front of me is still an expert?  The stall owner looked at Chu Chen and couldn't help but guess that Chu Chen was not very old to begin with. Coupled with the improvement of his body caused by his boxing skills and supernatural powers, he now looked like a person who had not yetA twenty-year-old young man with such an appearance, it¡¯s no wonder that the stall owner took him for granted.  Thinking of this, the stall owner said directly: "Boss, just take these tiles back. You see, I am also a small business. An expert like you doesn't have to worry about small people like us. Please be honest."  Price, okay?" Chu Chen didn't say much, and said with a smile: "Boss, I don't need to say more about the situation in the porcelain tile market, right? How about two pieces of porcelain tiles?"  When he saw the price quoted by Chu Chen, the stall owner immediately confirmed that Chu Chen was definitely an expert. This made him mutter to himself, what a bad luck!  However, since he is an expert, although he cannot be overpriced, the price is easier to negotiate than those who are not familiar with it, so he said: "Boss, two points for one piece is too little. Look at this piece of porcelain, even though it is  It was made in the late Ming Dynasty, but the glaze, hair color, and painting skills were all at the top level at that time. No matter where you ask for porcelain pieces like this, Yijiao is the least." Chu Chen shrugged his shoulders: "I admit it.  You are right, but there are not many porcelain tiles like this. These porcelain tiles may be good or bad, so two cents per piece is about the same.¡±  There is no profit, if it is lower I will lose money." The stall owner shook his head repeatedly.  "Two yuan!" Chu Chen then counter-offered: "Each porcelain tile costs more than three cents, which is pretty good. Look at the ordinary porcelain tiles elsewhere, and none of them cost one cent." The boss smiled bitterly and said, "Boss.  Please give me a little more. Otherwise, it¡¯s two yuan and eight yuan. You can choose another three yuan. If it¡¯s any lower, I really won¡¯t be able to continue my business.¡± Chu Chen pondered for a while and said, ¡°Okay.  "Boss, what you have here is pretty good, so I'll choose three more pieces!" "In fact, it doesn't matter whether he chooses it or not, but the show must be done well, otherwise it will be easy to get cheated."  Next, Chu Chen lowered his head and selected three more tiles that looked pretty good, and said, "Boss, are these tiles okay?" "Okay!" The boss looked at them casually and didn't think Chu Chen had chosen them.  What a good thing, so he nodded and agreed.  After paying the money, Chu Chen asked the stall owner how many newspapers to wrap the things in, and then asked for a bag to put them in before leaving.  After getting what he wanted, Chu Chen originally wanted to go back immediately, but he couldn't handle these porcelain pieces, and he didn't come to the porcelain capital often, so he planned to continue shopping here.  But after walking around until the sun was up, Chu Chen didn't see anything he liked, which made him feel a little depressed.  Seeing that the vendors were getting ready to close their stalls, Chu Chen turned around and unexpectedly saw a stall selling old books. Among the porcelain stalls, this stall looked like a dot of red among the greenery.  It was so eye-catching that it immediately aroused his interest, so he walked forward and started looking through it.  The stall owner was about to close the stall, but even though Chu Chen didn't look like a customer who would take action, he still said politely, in the hope of making more money: "Boss, just take a look.  In addition to the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are also Song dynasties. Tell me what you like." When Chu Chen heard that there were Song dynasties, he quickly asked: "Boss, do you have any Song dynasties?  " Seeing that Chu Chen was very interested, the boss quickly took out a book with a tattered surface, yellowing and moldy paper from a nearby box, and placed it in front of Chu Chen.  Seeing the tattered appearance of the book, Chu Chen immediately said speechlessly: "Boss, the Song Dynasty edition you are talking about is this kind of thing. If I buy it back, how do you want me to store it? I don't think it will last a few years.  Isn¡¯t this book useless?¡± The stall owner waved his hands and said, ¡°You can¡¯t say that. Think about it. As early as the Ming Dynasty, Song engravings, especially rare ones, were already worth a thousand pieces of gold. Now you have to find them.  It¡¯s even more difficult to get a Song Dynasty edition. I got this Song edition with great difficulty. How can anyone who sells ancient books usually have such a book? " "Besides, technology is so advanced now. After you buy it, send it to the relevant institution?  Just go and deal with it! And if you like it, the price can be negotiated.¡± Chu Chen felt that the stall owner¡¯s statement was reasonable. The books printed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties before the Five Dynasties, including some copies of the Song Dynasty,  Because some official engravings and private engravings, out of different interests, have added or deleted to the originals, there are many errors and corruptions in these books.  The Song version does not have such a problem. Therefore, many scholars use the original version of the Song version to correct the errors in ancient books carved since the Ming and Qing Dynasties and restore the true appearance of the ancient books.  However, the Song Dynasty blockbuster version has been handed down to this day.There are only a thousand kinds, and most of them are lost or duplicates, especially the Shu version, which is even rarer than the Zhejiang and Jian versions.  Therefore, the value of a Song engraved edition, even if it is a incomplete edition, is extremely valuable as long as it records precious content.  Just like the book in front of him, although the surface is already very tattered, if it was a rare or only copy, Chu Chen would buy it.
