YM778.TV Chapter 301 - 301 Shang and Zhou? I Think It Was From Last Week?
Wang Baiming naturally abdicated.
He didn’t continue helping to appraise the porcelain.
The outcome of the second round was also up in the air.
Only after Mei Donghai had finished appraising all of them would they be able to get the answer.
Ye Feng and the others were not idle either.
The third match began.
The third round was for gold, silver, and bronze equipment.
The four of them headed straight to the bronze equipment section.
Zhong Ling’er’s heart was pounding as she asked Kong Liansheng quietly, “Even your master said that he’s an antique master. Do we still have a chance of winning?”
Kong Liansheng sneered.
“I don’t know what trick this kid used to deceive my master. Do you think he looks like an antique master?”
Zhong Ling’er turned around and looked at Ye Feng.
He was standing in front of the stalls with a curious expression, his fingers constantly tapping on the gold, silver, and bronze items.
It was like picking a watermelon.
How was he an antique master?
He was more like a watermelon farmer.
This time, she was completely relieved.
Perhaps it was just as Kong Liansheng had said.
This fellow had used some unknown method to deceive Great Master Mei.
That was why Great Master Mei mistakenly thought that he had some profound attainments in antiques.
In fact, he was just an embroidered pillow.
She immediately glanced at Lu Xiaoya smugly.
This was the last match.
Victory was right in front of them.
However, they encountered some thorny problems.
Now, the entire Antique Street knew that Kong Liansheng was Master Mei Donghai’s disciple.
Since it was something that he had his eyes on, most of them were treasures.
Therefore, as long as it was something he liked, the stall owners would always offer a sky-high price.
Some of them even kept the antiques that he fancied and refused to sell them.
More than 20 minutes had passed, but he still found nothing.
On the other hand, Ye Feng was acting abnormally.
After strolling around the bronze equipment stall for less than ten minutes, he picked out a palm-sized bronze bull.
However, Lu Xiaoya was obviously not satisfied.
“Isn’t this bronze bull too ugly? Moreover, the workmanship is so crude. It’s obvious that it’s a fake.”
When Ye Feng heard this, he could not help but mock: “Not bad, you can even tell that it’s a fake? You’ve improved.”
Lu Xiaoya heard the sarcasm in his words and was instantly annoyed. “I don’t like this one anyway.”
Ye Feng rolled his eyes: “This is not a question of whether I like it or not. As long as I can win the competition, isn’t that enough?”
Lu Xiaoya immediately asked, “How do you know that the one you picked will win the competition?”
Ye Feng could not help but smile bitterly: “Didn’t you hear what Master Mei said earlier? Even he said that I’m an antique master, and you still don’t believe me?”
Lu Xiaoya pursed her lips. “Who knows what method you used to deceive Great Master Mei? Based on your performance today, which part of you looks like a master? I think you’re even worse than me.”
Ye Feng was completely speechless: “Trust me, this time, we will definitely win if I choose this bronze bull.”
However, Lu Xiaoya turned a deaf ear to him and picked up a bronze cauldron from the stall. “I think this cauldron is the real deal.”
The stall owner immediately gave her a thumbs up. “Miss, you have good taste. This is a bronze cauldron from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It only costs 100,000 yuan.”
Ye Feng glared at him angrily: “Shang and Zhou? I think it’s last week? You still dare to ask for 100,000 yuan? 100 yuan, no more.”
The stall owner looked at him with disdain. “It seems that you really don’t know anything about antiques. Look at the shape, material, and bronze rust on this bronze ware. It’s definitely an old item.”
Ye Feng sneered: “Are you insulting my intelligence? If it was really a bronze artifact from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, would you only sell it for 100,000 yuan? At least add two zeros after that, right?”
The boss was speechless.
Lu Xiaoya suddenly said, “Boss, don’t listen to him. He’s just an amateur. I want this bronze cauldron.”
Ye Feng frowned: “This cauldron is modern work. Why don’t you listen?”
Lu Xiaoya glanced at him. “I’m happy to.”
Ye Feng was completely helpless: “Alright then, if you insist on buying this cauldron, I have no objections. But to be on the safe side, it’s better to buy this bronze bull as well. It’s only 2,000 yuan anyway, so it won’t cause any losses.”
Lu Xiaoya looked at the bronze bull with disdain. “I don’t want it. If you want to buy it, you can buy it with your own money.”
With that, she paid.
...
She hugged the bronze cauldron and walked away.
Ye Feng shook his head and sighed.
He had just used the system’s deep scanning function to scan it.
This bronze bull was definitely a rare old item.
However, this woman suddenly went crazy.
She looked down on him no matter what.
She insisted on buying a flashy imitation.
Helplessly, he could only fork out his own money to buy this bronze bull.
Kong Liansheng was paying attention to Ye Feng’s movements.
He saw that they had finished choosing.
He could only speed up the progress.
...
Finally, after bargaining with the stall owner…
He bought a small bronze buddha for 750,000 yuan.
In addition to the paintings and porcelain in front of him, he had just spent the entire budget of 1 million yuan.
But he believed in his own judgment.
The true value of these antiques must be much higher than 1 million.
This also made him full of confidence in this match.
After the four of them returned, they handed in all the antiques they had chosen.
Mei Donghai had just finished appraising all the antiques from the previous two competitions.
However, they were not in a hurry to announce the results.
Instead, he took the small bronze buddha that his disciple, Kong Liansheng, had chosen.
The small bronze buddha was about ten centimeters tall.
The forging process was slightly crude.
If it was an outsider, they really wouldn’t be able to see anything.
Zhong Ling’er looked at Mei Donghai nervously.
Mei Donghai looked at the small buddha statue.
A surprised expression appeared on his face.
He muttered, “Good stuff, good stuff…”
