This time, Han Chunming didn't let Tang Qingshan speak. Instead, he said disdainfully, "Who are you trying to fool? I don't know much about antiques, but your bottle is so well preserved. It's not yellow, and there's no dirt on it. How could it be more than a thousand years old?"

"—You can tell it's a recent imitation!" The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced stall owner: "..."

At this moment, it was like thousands of horses were roaring past overhead. God, don't you change color?

This is glaze, how could it change color so easily? Also, the lack of soil... that's something from the soil, that's a characteristic not at all!

I didn't say this stuff came from the soil!

It’s just that, when faced with such a fool, the stall owner didn’t know how to defend himself.

Anyway, this guy really fooled me. He also knew very well that this thing was not from the Tang Dynasty.

As for when the imitation was made, the stall owner didn't know. He bought it from somewhere else for less than two yuan.

Seeing that the stall owner was silent, Han Chunming became even more proud: "See, you are silent now, I knew it must be a fake!"

This critical hit almost gave the stall owner a stitch in his side. He waved his hand and was about to drive Han Chunming away.

Suddenly, Han Chunming pulled out a large unity banknote from his pocket and threw it onto the stall: "Ten yuan! Do you want to sell it?"

"I..." The stall owner looked embarrassed and was about to explain again.

But then Han Chunming picked up the Great Unity and said to Tang Qingshan, "Forget it, Old Tang, let's look somewhere else! I don't believe you can't buy a replica for ten yuan!"

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave. "Wait... wait!"

Seeing this, the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced stall owner quickly shouted, "Sell! I'll sell it!" He was right.

You can buy a fake product for ten dollars, no matter how much you want! He was afraid that Han Chunming would regret it.

After saying that, he picked up a porcelain bottle and handed it to Han Chunming eagerly.

Although he didn't make a big profit, when he bought this Double Dragon Pankouzun, it was only two dollars. Now he sold it for ten dollars, which means he made a net profit of eight dollars.

"Humph!" "You're smart!"

Han Chunming raised his head, hummed with satisfaction, handed the money to the stall owner, and took the double dragon-shaped jar in both hands.

He waved to Tang Qingshan and walked back. The stall owner also looked very happy when he received the money.

Carefully putting away the big unity, Xiao Zheng hummed a few words happily and was about to take out some things and put them on the empty place.

At this moment, a faint fragrance suddenly hit me. "What a nice smell!"

"It smells familiar!"

The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced stall owner raised his head and looked closely, only to see two figures, one old and one young, walking quickly towards him.

Among these two people.

The old man was about seventy years old, with white hair and beard, a peaceful face, and a calm demeanor. It was obvious that he was a great man.

The young one was a woman in her early twenties.

Dressed in a long gown, she stood tall and graceful, a rare beauty.

Coincidentally, this girl and this sharp-faced stall owner had seen each other before.

About half an hour ago, the woman looked at his stall for a while, but then left without asking anything.

This time he came back and called another old man.

This situation...it's clear that he's fallen for something. I wasn't sure at first, so I asked someone to come over and appraise it!

"It seems that my luck has come today!"

The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced stall owner immediately came forward with great enthusiasm: "What do you like?"

"Grandpa! This is it!"

The young girl pointed at the stall and was about to say something else when she took a closer look. Her expression suddenly changed. She stared at the stall owner and asked in surprise, "Where's the Double Dragon Coiled Mouth Zun that you just put in there?"

"What?" The man with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks was stunned for a moment.

How come these two also like that bottle? Could it be that they...are deliberately buying fakes? He immediately responded subconsciously: "Sell it!"

"What! Sold?!" The girl was horrified and couldn't help asking, "When was it sold? Who did you sell it to?"

At this point, the sharp-nosed, monkey-faced stall owner realized something was amiss and said truthfully, "I just sold it. As for who I sold it to, you should know the rules of this ghost market!"

"This……"

The girl's face was filled with regret. She stamped her feet and couldn't help but sigh, "What a coincidence! If I had known, I would have bought it directly!"

"This is what they call everything has its destiny!" The old man also sighed.

The stall owner became increasingly confused the more he listened. Something clicked in his heart, but he couldn't believe it. He couldn't help but say to the two of them, "Let me be honest, it's just a replica. If you really want it, go look for it at Panjiayuan in Yanjing. You should be able to find something similar!"

He was deliberately playing a trick to trick the two people in front of him.

After all, in the antique business, people see things but don't say them out loud. If you ask directly, these two will definitely not say anything.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the girl snorted coldly: "Imitation?"

"Do you think this is an ordinary imitation?"

"What?" The stall owner shuddered and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else to say?"

"Humph!"

Seeing that the conversation had already started, the girl simply said, "It's a replica of a Tang Dynasty double-dragon urn with a flat mouth!"

"The shape is modeled after porcelain handed down from the Tang Dynasty, and the glaze is inspired by the Longquan celadon of the Song Dynasty. It is arguably the pinnacle of imitation porcelain produced by the Emperor during the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty!"

"There are only three known surviving pieces, all in museums, and two of them are abroad!"

"The one you just mentioned is the fourth one, and the only one known to exist among the people!"

"What!" The stall owner's expression changed drastically as the girl finished her words. During the Yongzheng era, imperial imitations of imperial wares were commonplace in the industry. This was said to be due to the Emperor's fondness for imitations. This period also marked the peak of Qing Dynasty porcelain production.

Later generations even joked that many imitations from this period were more exquisite and precious than the originals.

There are only three in existence!

If what the girl said was true, wouldn't it mean that she would sell such a rare treasure for only ten dollars?

The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced stall owner quickly stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction where Han Chunming disappeared.

But there was no sign of Han Chunming and Tang Qingshan. "This is exactly what happened when these two blind cats caught a dead mouse!"

"Damn it!" "Why am I so unlucky today!"

The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced stall owner pounded his chest and pointed at the young girl and the old man in agony: "You guys, you should have come two minutes earlier!"

"What's wrong?" The girl heard that there was a story behind it and asked.

"Ugh!"

The stall owner then recounted in detail the entire process of Han Chunming and Tang Qingshan from the moment they looked at the plate to the moment they bought the Double Dragon Plate-mouthed Zun.

"this…."

After hearing this, the girl was stunned. Deliberately buying a fake!

I even chose the Double Dragon Pankou Zun! Was it a coincidence?

Or is he pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger? She felt both regretful and full of doubts.

I wish I could find Han Chunming and Tang Qingshan right now and ask them face to face.

"Grandpa! What do you think?" Unable to figure it out, she looked at the old man for help.

"This... is hard to say!" The old man sighed and said slowly.

"However, if those two really did it on purpose, then that young man is really interesting!"

"Intentional?" The girl pouted and said unwillingly, "That's impossible! I think... I'm just lucky!"

"Let's wait and see! Maybe we'll have another chance to meet in the future!" The old man smiled meaningfully, "Let's go!"

After saying that, the two of them slowly left.

Only the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced stall owner was left, scratching his head with a look of regret.

Han Chunming and Tang Qingshan left the stall and walked to a position where the stall owner could not see them. Tang Qingshan impatiently leaned over to Han Chunming's ear and said, "Chunming, please tell me, what kind of bargain did you find?"

"hey-hey! "

Han Chunming smiled triumphantly and whispered a few words: "Qing Yongzheng powder green glaze double dragon vase!"

"A replica of an imperial kiln from the Yongzheng era?" Tang Qingshan nearly screamed. "Is that the one they claim is more valuable than the real thing?"

"Not bad!" Han Chunming nodded.

In later generations, this treasure was indeed known as a replica that was more precious than the original.

There was a piece of news about this Qing Dynasty Yongzheng powder-green glaze double-dragon vase in later generations, which Han Chunming still remembers vividly.

That was an explosive news that broke out in 2017.

At that time, a similar treasure was auctioned at Christie's in Hong Kong with a starting price of HK$7,500 million and finally sold for HK$1.24 million.

It was sold for HK$1.4054 million, setting a new world auction record for monochrome glazed porcelain.

This shows how high the collection value of this Qing Yongzheng powder green glaze double dragon vase is!

To speculate, this treasure can bring Han Chunming at least 50 points.

"Great! Chunming!"

Tang Qingshan sighed in amazement, then gritted his teeth and said, "No, I have to find some bargains today!"

"Let's go! Let's spend some quality time in this ghost market today!"

Han Chunming was very excited after the initial victory and led Tang Qingshan to continue searching in the ghost market.

Although I have never come across a treasure of the same level as the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng powder green glaze double dragon vase.

But after all, Han Chunming and Tang Qingshan still found a lot of loopholes.

Han Chunming now had two bloodstone seals, two rare ancient books from the Ming Dynasty, a string of small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads from the Song Dynasty, and an ice-type jadeite Buddha amulet.

Tang Qingshan also made some good gains, mainly ancient coins.

His biggest hobby at the moment was this. Han Chunming had already collected quite a bit of information on this subject, so he generously obliged him.

It was almost dawn when the two of them came out of the ghost market and returned to the guesthouse.

Han Chunming stored all his treasures into his portable storage space.

Sure enough, the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng powder green glaze double dragon vase directly won 50 points.

The other six items, added together, are worth nearly 50 points.

Adding the remaining points from before, Han Chunming's points on hand once again exceeded one million.

Han Chunming remembered that he hadn't looked at the items in the newly refreshed system mall yet!

He immediately opened the system store and started looking. "Copy Card!"
