Repairer - Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Broken Porcelain

The next morning, while Su Xiaofan was still lying in bed, there was a knock on the door.

“Hey, little Su, you’re not up yet.”

Zhao Zhengshan smiled when he saw Su Xiaofan open the door with sleepy eyes. you young people sleep better. At my age, I can’t sleep even if I wanted to.

uncle Zhao, I’m sorry. Give me a moment. I’ll wash up and then we’ll leave.

Su Xiaofan scratched his head in embarrassment. He had made an appointment with Zhao Zhengshan yesterday to visit the antique market in Yanjing.

“It’s fine, don’t worry. I’ll take you to eat some Yanjing authentic breakfast later.” Zhao Zhengshan waved his hand and sat down on the sofa.

Su Xiaofan was very fast, and the two of them were out five or six minutes later.

“I can’t get used to this taste.”

Su Xiaofan’s face turned bitter as he drank the most authentic Yanjing soybean juice in Zhao Zhengshan’s mouth. He really couldn’t enjoy the taste.

“Whether you’re used to it or not, you have to come and try it.”

“I only got used to this breakfast after staying in Yanjing for a few years,” Zhao Zhengshan said.

“Uncle Zhao, where are we going today? Are you going to pan garden?”

Su Xiaofan asked. He knew that Zhao Zhengshan had studied Chinese medicine in Yanjing. He had been in Yanjing for almost nine years, including his internship. He had returned to Luochuan because he was not used to the fast-paced life in the big city.

pan garden is almost a tourist attraction. Now, it’s just a place for entertainment.

Zhao Zhengshan shook his head. if we go to the store, it’ll be liulichang. Jingxin Hall has a branch there as well. However, let’s go to the antique Street of the North’s old goods market today. There are more good things there, so we might be able to find some good stuff.

“Alright, I’ll listen to uncle Zhao.”

Su Xiaofan didn’t have any objections. He also knew that even though pan garden was famous and almost became the sacred land of the National antique market, the more such a place was, the less likely it was to produce good things.

As for liulichang, Su Xiaofan knew that all the established brands in Yanjing were there, but there were no stalls in liulichang, so people who liked to search for treasures rarely went there.

The longer he spent time with Zhao Zhengshan, the more Su Xiaofan admired the Zhao family’s upbringing.

Although his family was worth tens of billions, Zhao Zhengshan acted like an ordinary person. He did not even take a taxi after breakfast. Instead, he took the subway with Su Xiaofan. They even took a turn in the train, and it took them more than an hour to reach the antique market.

“I’m familiar with this place.”

Arriving at the antique market, Su Xiaofan couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the bustling crowd and the two rows of stalls on the street.

Although the street stalls here were really street stalls and were directly laid on the ground, the antique market was all the same. Su Xiaofan looked at the street stall owners and saw that they were all similar to Luochuan.

“Little Su, do you want to compete and see who can get a good deal?”

Zhao Zhengshan was very excited to be here. The school where he studied for his master’s degree was not far from here. He would come here almost every week. It could be considered as a revisit to the old place.

“Uncle Zhao, I can’t afford good things.”

Su Xiaofan shook his head repeatedly. Zhao Zhengshan’s hair was thicker than his, so how could he compare to him?

“Sigh, we’re competing in judgment, not in who’s rich. If. want to buy something expensive, I’ll go to Liulichang…”

“Let’s buy something that doesn’t cost more than 3000 Yuan each,” Zhao Zhengshan said, waving his hand. “Let’s see who gets lucky.

What do you think?”

Zhao Zhengshan loved collecting. He loved the feeling of picking up scraps.

When he was in school, there were many good things in the antique market in Yanjing. He could get one or two pieces from time to time. But now, the chances of getting a bargain were getting smaller and smaller.

“Sure, Uncle Zhao, you have to let me have my way.”

Su Xiaofan nodded in agreement. With the repair system in his mind, he wouldn’t be afraid of him even if it was a specialist from the natural sciences department.

“That’s good. We’ll each take a look at one side. We’ll change seats when we reach the end. How about it? ”

The antique street was mostly similar. Like Luochuan, there were stalls on both sides of the street, leaving a path in the middle for tourists to pass. When they encountered roadside shops, the stalls would have to make way for them.

“Alright!”

This was Su Xiaofan’s first time going to the market since he was hospitalized from the lightning strike. He was looking forward to it since he was in an unfamiliar place.

After greeting Su Xiaofan, Zhao Zhengshan started walking around. He looked around carefully and stopped in front of the first stall.

He squatted down and started arguing with the stall owner.

Su Xiaofan smiled and walked to another stall to take a look.

The street stalls in the antique market were usually not divided into different categories. In other words, you could see bronze, porcelain, calligraphy, and paintings all placed in the same stall, and this kind of stall, most of them were goods from the art wholesale market.

Squatting down, Su Xiaofan also looked at the items one by one. He didn’t directly choose to use the repair system to identify them, as many of them were fake at first glance. He would only focus on the objects that Su Xiaofan couldn’t understand, or take a closer look, so that the information of the object would appear in his mind.

The stall owners didn’t bother to greet Su Xiaofan since he was young. “It’s not easy to pick up scraps now.”

After looking at seven or eight stalls, Su Xiaofan didn’t see any “old” items. They were all modern handicrafts, and at best, there were a few handicrafts that were good, but they were not antiques.

“Boss, which kiln did you dig?”

Su Xiaofan squatted down in front of a stall selling broken porcelain pieces. There were quite a lot of them, and they were stacked up to seven or eight centimeters high.

“Hey, brother, you’re right. These are all junkiln porcelain pieces. Yes, there are also dingkiln ones. I have all five major kiln holes.” The stall owner wasn’t very old and was reading a novel on his phone. When he saw someone coming to his stall, he immediately put down his phone.

“Big brother, these 5 great brothels: Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, Jun, have all been destroyed by you guys.”

Su Xiaofan chuckled. In the antique market, anyone who sold porcelain, whether it was a finished product or a broken piece of porcelain, would definitely be known as one of the five major kiln shops.

“Hey, brother, you can’t say that. I really have five big kiln holes for my broken porcelain.” The stall owner was unhappy to hear Su Xiaofan’s words. “Let me tell you, even the experts from the Xinong Natural Sciences Department often come to my shop to pick out porcelain pieces. Don’t doubt me. Look at my photo with teacher Zhou. By the way, do you know Teacher Zhou?”

Afraid that Su Xiaofan wouldn’t believe him, the stall owner put his phone in front of Su Xiaofan. It was indeed a photo of the stall owner and a man in a Tang suit.

“Yes, I know. He’s an expert from the Xinong Natural Science Department.” Su Xiaofan nodded. As the saying went, antiques were in a golden age during troubled times. In the past twenty years, the antique market had been booming. All kinds of online and offline appraisal activities were common, and there were many so-called “experts”. Of course, although most of them were experts in selling dog meat and pretending to be sheep, there were also many who had real talent. Mr. Zhou, who the stall owner was talking about, was an expert in the Xinong Natural Science Department. She had a deep understanding of antiques and porcelain.

“Brother, let me tell you, these porcelain pieces were all collected by my grandfather from those kiln exits.”

The stall owner perked up when he saw Su Xiaofan looking at the porcelain pieces. “I’ve never been willing to sell them all these years. It’s only because I’m a wastrel that I brought out my ancestor’s stuff. You’ve finally caught up.”

“Big brother, if you continue to tell me stories, I’m leaving.”

Su Xiaofan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he waved his hand. He didn’t come to this porcelain stall to pick up scraps. Although there was a saying that a piece of fragmented porcelain was worth thousands of gold, except for the legendary ‘wood kiln’, the price of most fragmented porcelain was not high. This was because fragmented porcelain could not be auctioned. There was also a small number of collectors, so it was destined to not be sold for a high price.

Su Xiaofan came here to see if the repair points in his mind could repair the broken porcelain.

[ Repair points: 7 points]

[Jun kiln broken porcelain, can not be repaired!]

Picking up a broken piece of porcelain, the word “unrecoverable” appeared in Su Xiaofan’s mind.

But to Su Xiaofan’s surprise, he was really holding a broken piece of porcelain from the Jun kiln. The stall owner wasn’t lying, and he had something to show for it.

“Is it impossible to repair an item with a damaged main body?”

Su Xiaofan thought about it. if I can gather all the fragments of a Jun kiln porcelain, will I be able to repair a real Jun porcelain?” little excited when he saw the thousands of broken pieces. He might be able Su Xiaofan was to make a complete porcelain item with all these pieces.

“Brother, are you buying?” Seeing Su Xiaofan blocking the stall, the stall owner was a little displeased. There were so many people in the antique market, and Su Xiaofan blocking his way would affect his business.

“I’ll buy it, big brother. How much is this piece of porcelain?” Su Xiaofan picked up the piece of Jun porcelain in his hand.

“Then, for the official kiln, you can just pay 200.” Seeing that a deal had arrived, the stall owner perked up and casually quoted a price. “A hundred!” Su Xiaofan returned the bid without even looking up.

“Brother, if you really want it, it’s at least 180 Yuan.” The stall owner said unhappily. “Fifty!” Su Xiaofan continued to bid. “Brother, don’t joke with me. If you really want it, I’ll sell it to you for 150 Yuan.’ “Thirty, if you don’t sell, I’ll leave!” Su Xiaofan stood up. He understood the psychology of the people in the antique market all too well because he was one of them.

“Hey, big brother, you’re my big brother. How can you keep lowering the price? Thirty it is, thirty it is. It’s yours.”

The stall owner almost cried at Su Xiaofan’s words. If he had known earlier, he would have given the other party a hundred Yuan. He wanted to earn more, but the more he bargained, the lower the price.

“Alright, you won’t lose anything. I don’t want this area. I’ll pick some more and settle the score with you.”

Su Xiaofan had the stall owner bring over a small basket and put the broken piece of Jun porcelain into it, then squatted down again. “Alright, I’ll treat it as wholesale for you.” The stall owner was amused when he heard that. He even gave Su Xiaofan a folding stool to let him pick slowly while he held his phone and started slacking.
