430. The Secret Collection of the Qing Palace, Prosperity Pastel (monthly pass 127+)

The auction of forty-five warehouses is a medium-sized and large auction.

But the theme of the treasure pickers is not in the warehouse, they are talking about what happened before:

"Are these Californian guys so unlucky? They were covered in feces and urine? Unfortunately, I didn't see it."

"I have photos here, Fark, it's so miserable man, you didn't see it, I just looked at it and it was disgusting!"

"Oh, my poor California brother, why do I feel a kind of joy from the bottom of my heart when I listen to this kind of news?"

"You are so bad, man, but why can't I help laughing out loud? Haha, it's so interesting!"

Li Du was listening to the treasure pickers discussing this matter enthusiastically when someone suddenly touched him from behind.

He immediately turned around, his eyes were cold, and his face was gloomy in an instant - he thought someone was looking for trouble again.

Because of his Chinese identity and skin color, many treasure pickers like to provoke and bully him if they are not, and he has become a frightened bird.

As a result, he turned his head and saw that he was an acquaintance of the same complexion as him, Zhang Kai.

"Brother Zhang, what's the matter?"

Zhang Kai was shocked by his face and eyes, and said, "Oh, no, no, nothing, nothing, right, something is wrong, something big."

After understanding, Li Du basically knew who Zhang Kai was. This person should be honest, timid and afraid of things, and he has similar personalities to many Chinese who have just gone abroad.

He patted Zhang Kai on the shoulder to comfort him, and then asked, "What's the big deal."

Zhang Kai winked at him and whispered: "Come with me."

Li Du followed the winding circle and left the crowd and walked to a secluded place.

However, the ventilation here is not good and the smell of feces is filled with.

Zhang Kai covered his nose and complained: "These Americans are smelly than us Chinese. It's so unlucky. Their pipes have actually aged. I'm going to be unlucky again."

Li Du asked, "Why?"

Zhang Kai complained: "These Americans bully people. They always give me dirty and tiring work to me and a few East Asians, and do their own brisk work."

This is the reality. The United States holds high the banner of equality and shouts "Everyone is born equal." In fact, discrimination is everywhere in society and oppression is everywhere.

Li Du asked: "Do you just want to talk about this? I'll think of a way to help you..."

"No, no." Zhang Kai shook his head, "It's a more important thing. Come here and show you something."

He took out a photo from his arms. There were several bottles and plates, all of which were porcelain, with snow-white bases and colorful depictions on them, with pine trees, small bridges and flowing water, which looked beautiful.

"What is this?" Li Du was attracted suddenly.

Zhang Kai was excited and said, "Have you heard the saying "The Secret Collection of Qing Palace, the Past Paintings of the Prosperous Times"?"

Li Du shook his head and asked, "This is our Chinese porcelain: and it is related to the Qing Dynasty royal family?"

Zhang Kai's eyes flashed, then nodded like pounding garlic and said, "Yes, yes, do you know them?"

Li Du continued to shake his head and said awkwardly: "I don't know you. I analyzed it from your words. Do you know these things?"

Zhang Kai smiled and said, "I met you. I was in China before, but I actually had some status and money. I have played with collecting it for a while and saw this kind of pastel."

"The so-called pastel is ceramics with overglaze. They are porcelains made by painting on pre-fired glazed white porcelain and then fired at a high temperature of 700 degrees."

"This thing was originally created during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is a ceramic technique formed based on the five-color overglaze technology in ancient China and combined with the enamel technology introduced by the West..."

Li Du didn't understand these things, so he listened quietly to Zhang Kai.

As a result, Zhang Kai couldn't stop talking for a while. From the origin to the process, from the method of craftsmanship to the method of identification, from the method of identification, and from the method of identification to some legends, in short, he talked endlessly.

When Li Du saw that the auction time was coming, he had to interrupt him and said, "Excuse me, Brother Zhang, why don't we talk again in the afternoon? The auction is about to begin."

After hearing this, Zhang Kai slapped himself: "Oh, look at me, I can't control my mouth, and I like to be fooled."

"It's okay, you said the point."

"Well, the point is that there is this thing at this auction!" Zhang Kai said mysteriously.

Li Du came to his spirits and said, "Is this in the warehouse? In those warehouses?"

Zhang Kai shook his head and said, "No, if it was in the warehouse I managed, I told you yesterday that it was not in my warehouse, but I got the news I got temporarily."

He paused and continued, "That's right. Yesterday I chatted with a colleague and talked to the warehouse auction, and then he told me that there was a warehouse over there that had good things in it."

"That guy is an African nigger, uneducated and knows nothing. He took several photos with his mobile phone, most of which are worthless at all, but this photo is different."

As he said that, he shook the photo in his hand, "After seeing it, I felt that it looked very similar to our pastels. After washing out the photos, it looked more like it. I think this is the real thing, because Americans don't understand this thing, so they don't need to make fake things."

At this time, Li Du was no longer interested. He knew that except for warehouses that he had not seen from the 51st to 100th, there were no such cultural relics and antiques in other warehouses.

Otherwise, the little flying insects would be attracted to search after entering yesterday.

But this is not certain, because he doesn't know much about Little Flying Worm.

In this way, Li Du asked, "Which warehouse is these things in?"

Zhang Kai whispered: "Warehouse No. 44!"

Li Du rubbed his chin, did Warehouse No. 44? He had a lot of impression on this warehouse, as if the Warcraft motorcycle he was interested in was in this warehouse.

However, he had searched the warehouse at that time and didn't remember finding these porcelains. Maybe he didn't search carefully. After all, in order to save energy, he just scanned it roughly.

After getting this information, he said to Zhang Kai: "Okay, I will definitely take down Warehouse No. 44. If the pastel inside is real, then I will get one-third of your money after selling it."

Zhang Kai asked, "One-third?"

Li Du thought he felt it was too little, so he explained: "If I work with an American, he will have to take up a share of this business."

Zhang Kai nodded quickly and said, "I understand, I understand, I mean, one-third is a bit too much. If you give me one-fifth, I will be satisfied. The pastel is always valuable!"

Li Du said: "Don't worry, it must be one-third, wait for my news."

Zhang Kai continued to nod and pounded garlic. Li Du found that he liked to nod, and it seemed that his cervical spine was very healthy.
