    "What a risk! If it's a step too late, the old man might just add some money and buy this paperweight." Zhou Xia secretly thought that this would happen regardless of whether it was Taobao in a ghost market or not.  Therefore, as long as you see the right thing, you must act quickly, otherwise, it will be snatched away soon.  Of course, if you really can't accept the high price, then don't think about it.

    Zhou Xia planned to take this jade paperweight of a shepherd boy riding an ox and playing the flute back to take a closer look at it. He also wanted to consider the era of this paperweight and think carefully about the famous literati and scholars at that time, and try to go as far as possible.  Damn, if you make up some stories or something, you might be able to sell it for a higher price.

    All right!  Zhou Xia feels that she has been in this industry for a long time and has assimilated. At least, her storytelling ability is much better than before.

    Even if the old man found him through the stall owner just now, Zhou Xia would not transfer the original price of the paperweight to him. He is not a saint. He is in urgent need of money now and does not have the ability to be a good person.

    Zhou Xia is in a good mood after harvesting a good thing. They say that contentment is always a joy. Generally speaking, if you can gain something from a visit to the ghost market, it is pretty good.

    Next, he relaxed completely and walked around various stalls without any pressure at all. He could fully adopt the attitude of learning and having fun at the same time.  There is no other reason. There are too many fakes in this ghost market.  But as long as a genuine product appears, the price is still much cheaper than elsewhere, because in such cases, stall owners often don't know whether it is a genuine product, and they will sell it at the price of a high imitation at most.  .

    Seeing that there were only one or two stalls in front of him that he had not visited, he was about to say that he might end it today, when Zhou Xia suddenly saw something at the edge of the stall that made his eyes light up.

    It was a small, exquisite, red-glazed cup. Zhou Xiaxin said that she was really destined to have red glaze these days.  The Hongwu red-glazed red twig-flower bowl that he smashed, the Kangxi rouge-red horseshoe cup that was systematically identified as a precious cultural relic, and the small red-glazed cup in front of him.

    In addition to him, other collectors have also paid attention to this small red glaze cup. Before Zhou Xia, a middle-aged man in his forties jumped in front of him and picked it up for appraisal.

    With the help of the middle-aged man's strong flashlight, Zhou Xia was also quietly looking at the porcelain.

    The outside of the small cup is made of sacrificial red glaze. The color is quite pure and relatively rich and bright.  The inner wall is painted with white glaze, which is slightly bluish-green and performs quite well.  At the bottom is the blue and white regular script inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty".

    What makes people feel a little regretful is that there is a small damage on the bottom of the small cup, revealing the enamel.  But it is the exposed enamel that allows experts to determine that the age of this porcelain is indeed the Qianlong period.

    Zhou Xia suddenly felt confident that it was indeed a good thing that was ready to come.

    But he believed that the stall owner should have figured it out, but the price was not what he wanted, so he didn't sell it. If it was sold as a high imitation, it should have been sold long ago.

    Zhou Xia didn¡¯t know if he had a chance, but now that others were watching, he could only wait and look at the other porcelain on the stall.

    ?????????????????This stall mostly sells porcelain, and there are also a lot of red-glazed porcelains. The quality of other red-glazed porcelains is obviously much inferior.  Even without the help of the system, he could easily determine that the age of these porcelains was no more than twenty years old.  Even if it is a folk kiln work from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, as long as it is in good condition, Zhou Xia will consider buying it even if he doesn't have much money.

    "It's a pity that Zhou Xia didn't encounter such a good thing, so he could only wait patiently.

    The middle-aged man obviously took a fancy to this small red-glazed cup, but the price he offered was relatively low. He gritted his teeth and only paid a thousand and a half because he wanted to pick up such a somewhat open-ended porcelain.  The stall owner obviously couldn't accept such a price.

    According to Zhou Xia's estimation, if a small red-glazed cup like this was sold in an antique shop, the price would be approximately seven to eight thousand or more.  If it is put at an auction, the result is even more unpredictable. It may fail, or it may be sold for a hundred or eighty thousand yuan. As long as there are a few people pursuing it and competing irrationally, the price will rise all the way.  .

    After the middle-aged man left, Zhou Xia did the same thing as before, whether he wanted to buy it or not, he would hold the small red-glazed cup in his hand first while trying to agree on the price with the stall owner.

    By doing this, he also exposed his intentions, but Zhou Xia didn't mind. In front of understanding people, that set of deceitful methods did not work.  At this time, his main purpose is to prevent others from grabbing it from him, and to occupy it first.  According to industry rules, no one else would come to interrupt the transaction between him and the stall owner at this time.

    After getting it, Zhou Xia carefully identified it.

    He just had a rough look at it through the eyes of a middle-aged man, so he can get started with it himself.??It feels natural and different.

    This small red glaze cup has a good taste and a relatively pure color, but it is a single-color glaze and is a bit monotonous.  Although it was also red-glazed porcelain, it was completely incomparable to the Hongwu underglaze red twig flower bowl and the Kangxi rouge red horseshoe cup that he had seen before.

    Although there is beauty in simplicity, people generally describe it as returning to nature.  But in terms of porcelain, simple single-color glazed porcelain like this, with such a small and exquisite shape, is destined to not be particularly valuable. Even if it is an official kiln, there is no way to sell it for hundreds of thousands or millions.  .

    In addition, other situations of this porcelain are still good.

    The bottom is slightly damaged and the enamel is exposed, which better proves that it comes from a famous family and is a pure official kiln product.

    Of course, when negotiating the price with the stall owner, Zhou Xia will also use this as a shortcoming to lower the price.  He was also thinking that if there was no such damage, this piece of porcelain might not be sold at such a high price.

    He also asked the system to make an identification, proving that it was indeed fired during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

    So, next, the stall owners are left to bargain.

    When Zhou Xia came up with his reasons, the stall owner said that he already knew about it and said that this small defect would not affect the appearance of this red glaze cup. If Zhou Xia was willing, he could just find someone to repair it.  , a repair like this is not too expensive.

    What he said is also true. Generally speaking, porcelain is in very complete condition and does not have any defects. This is because porcelain is fragile. A slight bump will cause irreparable damage to the porcelain.  The repair of porcelain has also come into being. Porcelain that has been broken into pieces can be repaired, let alone such a small damage.

    ¡°But when Zhou Xia mentioned that the value of this kind of porcelain with only a single color glaze and no patterns was destined not to be too high, the stall owner was obviously temporarily dull. Presumably he was also aware of this problem.

    "I simply like such simple porcelain, but I also have to consider its collection value and not waste money in vain. How about just two thousand?" Zhou Xia is now becoming more and more skilled in negotiating prices.

    "Two thousand is too low. This is a pure Qianlong official kiln. If it's less than six thousand, we won't talk about it." The stall owner's attitude was very determined.

    Zhou Xia was not in a hurry and showed enough sincerity to want this piece of porcelain, but he refused to increase the price readily. He only increased the price little by little and spent it slowly with him.  Because he keenly noticed that the sky was getting brighter and the ghost market would be closed before long. It would be even more difficult for him to sell this piece of porcelain by then.

    In the antique collecting industry, if you want to sell off antiques, it is the last word to cash them in as soon as possible. Don¡¯t wait until there is an urgent need before selling. After all, things are unpredictable, and you may not meet someone who likes this at any time.  Seller of collectibles.

    Facts have proved that Zhou Xia's strategy is very successful. The two sides battled wits and courage, but the stall owner couldn't defeat him, and his attitude was not as firm as before.  Finally, Zhou Xia suddenly became bold and added 200 yuan from 3,300 yuan to successfully win the Qianlong red glaze cup for 3,500 yuan.

    Zhou Xia was also sweating from exhaustion. At this time, if you want to pick up the leaks, it is not just a competition of eyesight and luck, but also a comprehensive competition of financial resources, courage and intelligence.

    Fortunately, he was well prepared with cash, so he directly counted the money to the stall owner, and then officially pocketed the small red-glazed cup.

    Zhou Xia was in a very happy mood at the moment. Seeing that the ghost market was about to end, he had no intention of continuing to shop. After putting away the porcelain, he left straight away.
