    Hearing the word "report", the middle-aged man's eyes immediately showed a trace of panic, and he smoked out the cigarette in his mouth in a few puffs.  Then, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said, "I have such a big jade horse!" As he said this, he gestured with the size of the thing.  When Du Hou heard that it was a jade horse, he felt a little disappointed. However, he knew that he could only do this slowly. If he was pushed too hard, it might lead to a life-and-death situation. This would definitely not be good for him, so he spoke.  Said: "Okay, if it is really a good thing, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price. It is more cost-effective to keep it than to sell it to those profiteers" At this point, Du Hou actually started chatting with the middle-aged man, and they all said  He even treated the middle-aged man to a bowl of beef noodles after chatting about the lingering sweat until noon. When the two finally left, they were already brothers.  "Brother, don't worry. I will definitely call you in a few days and bring you the things" Du Hou returned home with excitement and joy, and those few porcelain pieces were even more precious to him.  Collected them, and the reason is very simple. These pieces of porcelain are the famous Yuan blue and white!  This kind of thing, even if it's just a few pieces of porcelain, can't be bought for five hundred yuan.  And Du Hou felt that even if the middle-aged man was not a local master, he should have been in this industry before. As for why he felt that the middle-aged man had good things, there was also a reason.  Du Hou did work in Yuhan for a period of time back then, and he still keeps in touch with his friends there.  Three years ago, he heard news from a friend that a group of local masters had stolen a tomb from the Yuan Dynasty there. Because they failed to agree on a price, the buyer reported him, but that group  We got wind of it in advance, and in the end only three were arrested, while the others absconded. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but the local masters in yuhan¡¯s place are really quite rampant.  When Du Hou went to visit a friend last year, he went to see some places that were devastated by the Tufuzi. Large pits several meters deep could be seen everywhere. There were no remnants of ancient tombs in the pits. The entire hills were destroyed by the Tufuzi.  Bulldozed.  "And the local masters on Yuhan's side like to be tough, and it is common for them to use explosives to deal with hard tombs.  As for shovels smashing ceramic funerary objects, it is even more common.  Because of this, Du Hou immediately remembered this matter when he heard the middle-aged man¡¯s accent was Yu Han¡¯s and what he took out were fragments of Yuan Qinghua.  So in the next few days, Du Hou stayed at home without going out, just waiting for that person's call.  Anyone who plays antiques has a feeling.  When he hears news about something he likes, he feels like a cat scratching his heart, and Du Hou is no exception. The past few days have been like passing years. Just when he pessimistically thought that the middle-aged man would not contact him,  But she was delighted to receive his call.  So Du Hou quickly took a car to a teahouse they had made an appointment with before, and met the middle-aged man who "haunted" him.  After arriving at the teahouse.  Du Hou was not in a hurry anymore. After asking the waiter to serve good tea and some exquisite and delicious snacks, he chatted with the middle-aged man for a while, such as how he was doing recently and how his family was doing. The middle-aged man was very moved.  , they all treat Du Hou as their own relatives.  ??Have had tea.  After eating some snacks, the middle-aged man took out the jade horse mentioned earlier from the bag.  When Du Hou saw this jade horse ornament, he was attracted by it. The horse is about 14 centimeters long and has a vivid expression. It has a square mouth and a protruding nose.  The forehead is flat, the horse's head is pointed back, and the mane is fine and spread on both sides of the horse's neck.  The body is strong, the long tail swings back, and the whole body is carved in the round. The face and mane are carefully carved with incised lines, giving it a thick shape.  Based on Du Hou's knowledge, he felt at a glance that this was a Yuan Dynasty jade, and he felt that the carving was very exquisite, and it was really a rare masterpiece among the Yuan Dynasty jades.  Although he thought the jade horse was a good ornament at first glance, Du Hou also knew his own business, so he carefully looked at every part of the jade horse. In the end, he still felt that it was a rare and authentic piece.  .  In fact, this is how antiques are appraised. If you feel that something is genuine from the bottom of your heart, even if it is actually a fake, the mistakes will be justified.  The opposite is the same. If you think it is a fake, even if it is genuine, you will regard some parts of the genuine item as intentional by the forger.  Therefore, when appraising antiques, you must be objective and careful, otherwise it is easy to make a wrong judgment. Of course, the premise of all this is that you must have the corresponding level.  Du Hou calmly put down the jade horse from his hand, raised his head and asked, "Brother, how much do you plan to sell this thing for?"   "Hi! They are all from the village, brother, just watch and give them to me!" the middle-aged man said casually.  Du Hou waved his hand and said, "That won't work. The brothers have to settle the accounts clearly. You can pay as much as you want! Just tell me how much you want to sell it for!" The middle-aged man lowered his head in thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth, and his face  He was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother, just ten thousand yuan, what do you think?" Du Hou was very happy when he heard the middle-aged man's quotation. Although he was not very proficient in jade, he still knew the value.  If a jade horse like this was put up for auction, it would definitely be worth two to three hundred thousand yuan, so he took out ten thousand yuan from the bag he was carrying and handed it over.  "Brother, are you counting right?" "Hey! I still don't believe you, brother!" But even so, the middle-aged man dipped his hands in some saliva and counted the money.  At the same time, Du Hou also carefully put the things into the brocade box he had prepared in advance.  After a while, the middle-aged man smiled and showed his big yellow teeth and said, "Just right!" "Brother, thank you for bringing me a good thing. I'll treat you to a drink!" After saying that, Du Hou pulled him directly.  The middle-aged man's hand walked out As the saying goes, being courteous for nothing is a crime or a thief. Du Hou didn't find any good restaurants, so he just asked for one at a small restaurant nearby that looked relatively clean.  In the private room, they then ordered a large table of dishes, and the two of them started eating and drinking.  Of course, Du Hou is already an old man in his seventies or eighties, and it is unlikely that he will eat and drink. The only one who kept talking during the dinner was the middle-aged man, and Du Hou kept talking to him.  The middle-aged man drank wine and soon fell into a daze.  But even so, he still kept picking up vegetables and eating as if he hadn't eaten enough for a long time, making Du Hou shake his head.  ¡° Du Hou invited the middle-aged man to this meal for sure not only to get him drunk, but also to listen to the middle-aged man¡¯s drunken mantra.  However, the middle-aged man's mouth was very tight. Next, Du Hou tried his best to pry his mouth open, and learned the middle-aged man's secret, which also confirmed his previous guess.  The middle-aged man said that he did participate in the tomb robbery three years ago. Not only did he participate, but he was also one of the main members. Before he fled, apart from the few things he had sold to Du Hou, he still had  Next three pieces of blue and white porcelain.  Hearing the news, Du Hou was so excited that he could not wait to put the three pieces of blue and white porcelain into his bag right away.  At the end of the meal, the middle-aged man said with a loud tongue: "Old Brother, you are the best city man I have ever met. I only sell my things to you!" The middle-aged man's words, for Du Hou,  As if sleepiness had come to the pillow, he quickly followed the words and said: "Brother, as long as the goods are good, I will definitely give you a good price! Then I will also let you become a city citizen!" The middle-aged man heard "Become a city citizen"  "These five words immediately stirred up excitement. He pulled Du Hou up with some enthusiasm and walked directly to the place. As he walked, he said: "Let's gobrother, I will take you to see what real good things are!"  Du Hou was overjoyed in his heart, but he had not drunk much wine just now, so he was not so drunk that he would bring a huge sum of money to the Tufuzi's house.  So he immediately called a friend and asked his friend to match him a car. The driver was also trained and could act as a bodyguard. Finally, he asked his friend to borrow 500,000 cash temporarily.  Just like that, under the less sober command of the middle-aged man, the driver drove the car and took the two people straight to the middle-aged man's home.  The middle-aged man drank a lot and ate a lot at noon. He fell asleep for a while, and had to get up again for a while. In the end, it was because of the bumpy road. The middle-aged man said that he felt like vomiting because of the discomfort.  It was already dark at the young man's home, and Du Hou was exhausted from all the hard work.  ¡­ The middle-aged man¡¯s wife opened the door, and she was quite enthusiastic at first. However, after inviting Du Hou and the driver in, she heard that they were here to buy things, so she yelled at the middle-aged man and said:  Du Hou said that there was nothing they wanted to buy at home.  When the middle-aged man saw his wife humiliating him in front of everyone and drank some wine, he immediately got angry and punched her, wanting to hit her. Seeing this, the middle-aged man's wife was not willing to be outdone and was ready to fight back with all her teeth and claws. It was so painful.  Du Hou and the driver persuaded and persuaded the couple for a while and ensured their safety.  Next, the middle-aged man took out the three pieces of blue and white porcelain he mentioned from the back room, and Du Hou quickly turned his attention to these three pieces of porcelain.  At noon, Du Hou had already worked hard to take out the words of the middle-aged man, and then there was another burst of noise on the road.The turbulence, coupled with the fight just now, made Du Hou feel physically and mentally exhausted. He just wanted to buy things back as soon as possible and have a good sleep.  Du Hou looked at all three pieces of porcelain as carefully as possible. With his previous preconceptions and the fact that there was really no problem with these pieces of porcelain, he immediately asked the price, and the middle-aged man directly quoted fifty  Ten thousand.  Although the price was higher than Du Hou expected, he really didn't have the energy to deal with the middle-aged man now, and even one of the porcelains was worth more than 500,000, so he just closed the deal as quickly as possible, and finally  After a few brief exchanges with the middle-aged man, he hurried back.
