Chapter 236: Chapter 233 Qing Kangxi Dragon Pattern Zisha Clay Teapot (Requesting Subscription)

Li Rongrong squatted down and picked up a fragment.

She touched it with her hand and frowned, "Third Master, we’re all into antiques here, this is clearly a fake, are you trying to cheat me?"

"Fake? My blue and white porcelain has a certificate of authentication, valued at 2.1 million. I’m already giving you a deal by knocking off 100,000 because of our neighborly status."

With that, Third Master threw the certificate to Li Rongrong.

Looking at the certificate from Third Master, Li Rongrong’s pretty face flushed with anger.

Everyone in the industry knows these certificates can be bought for a small fee.

But now the porcelain is broken and can’t be appraised, Li Rongrong could only swallow the loss quietly.

Li Rongrong knew that Third Master, nicknamed Hei the Third, often scammed people on this Taobao Street.

She never expected that he’d trick her this time.

Looking at the pieces on the ground, Li Rongrong gritted her teeth.

She understood the industry rules; in such a situation, she could only accept the loss.

At this moment, Ye Chen entered the antique shop.

Activating his Treasure Master skills, the details about the shards on the ground immediately floated into Ye Chen’s mind.

Modern imitation, valued at 200 yuan.

Li Rongrong took a deep breath, "Alright, Third Master, since the porcelain is broken by me, I’ll take the blame."

The onlookers shook their heads.

Everyone knew Hei the Third’s character.

But indeed, it was Li Rongrong who broke the porcelain first, so she could only accept the loss now.

Hei the Third grinned, showing two large gold teeth.

He chuckled, "Miss Rongrong, then I, Hei the Third, thank you."

"Wait a moment." Ye Chen suddenly spoke up from the side.

Hei the Third sneered, "What does this young man want?"

Ye Chen smiled, "Third Master, do you dare make a bet with this junior?"

Hei the Third was startled, "A bet? What kind of bet?"

Ye Chen pondered, "A bet that I can find the most valuable treasure in your shop among the antiques."

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Hei the Third burst into laughter.

His shop had thousands of antiques, finding the most valuable one among them was like finding a needle in a haystack.

The other customers and the shop owner were all stunned hearing Ye Chen’s bet.

"This guy must be crazy, finding the most valuable one among thousands of antiques, how could it be possible."

"Exactly, I think this guy has lost his mind."

Hei the Third nodded, "What’s your stake?"

Ye Chen smiled lightly, "The stake, if I win, I’ll take away your most valuable item. If I lose, then the compensation for this porcelain doubles, I’ll give you four million."

Hearing four million, Hei the Third’s eyes lit up.

"Are you serious?"

Ye Chen smiled lightly, "Of course, I’m serious."

Hei the Third took a sip from the Zisha clay teapot in his hand triumphantly, "Young man, you’re willingly giving me money, don’t say I bullied you later."

Ye Chen smiled, "Third Master, such a small amount of money, I can afford it."

"Alright, everyone here can be witnesses, but you can’t search endlessly. I’ll give you five minutes, how about that?"

"No way, how can you find it among thousands of antiques in just five minutes?" Li Rongrong was immediately displeased.

Hei the Third sneered, "If you’re afraid, forget it. I won’t make it difficult, just two million will do."

Ye Chen smiled, "Why should I be afraid? Five minutes, just five minutes."

"Ye Chen, how is this possible? Hei the Third’s antique shop has thousands of items, he’s mixed the real and fake ones together, no one can find it except himself."

"Rongrong, don’t worry, since I dared to bet with him, I naturally have the confidence to win."

Saying that, Ye Chen walked over to the antiques and smiled lightly, "Third Master, you can start timing."

Hei the Third nodded, "Straightforward young man."

He took out a stopwatch and began timing.

The five-minute countdown started, and the second hand quickly turned.

To everyone’s surprise, Ye Chen didn’t touch any of the antiques, but just looked at them with his eyes.

"This guy is ridiculous, how can you identify antiques without touching them."

"Does he think his eyes are the Golden Pupil? Just one look can tell the real from the fake?"

"Hei the Third is too clever, easily winning two million."

...

Seeing Ye Chen’s actions, everyone shook their heads; in their eyes, Ye Chen was destined to lose.

Among thousands of antiques, just by looking, trying to identify real from fake seemed harder than ascending to heaven.

At this moment, Ye Chen’s eyes scanned over each antique, and their value quickly appeared in his mind.

Modern imitation blue and white porcelain, valued at twelve thousand.

Republic of China porcelain bowl, valued at one hundred and eight thousand.

Zhengde blue and white porcelain valued at three million.

Soon, as Ye Chen’s scanning progressed, the value of each antique appeared in his eyes.

In just three minutes, Ye Chen had scanned the entire room’s porcelain for prices.

The most valuable was the Zhengde blue and white porcelain.

Ye Chen turned around, watching Hei the Third leisurely sipping tea at the table, with a look of smugness.

Something’s not right, Hei the Third is so cunning, and he dares to bet with me, he must have a guaranteed win, so it shouldn’t be this easy to win.

Something must be wrong.

Suddenly, Ye Chen smiled.

His gaze fell upon the Zisha teapot in Hei the Third’s hand. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Qing Kangxi Dragon Pattern Zisha Clay Teapot, valued around nine million!

It turns out the most valuable antique in the whole store was this Qing Kangxi Dragon Pattern Zisha Clay Teapot.

No wonder this old man kept clutching this teapot like it’s his lifeline.

Many thought he just loved tea, but actually, it’s his most prized possession.

By now, the time was up, Hei the Third sneered, "Young man, time’s up, tell me, which antique in my shop is the most valuable."

Ye Chen walked over to the Zhengde blue and white porcelain.

Seeing this, a cunning smile curved on Hei the Third’s lips.

Ye Chen smiled lightly, "This Zhengde blue and white porcelain is indeed nice, but unfortunately, it’s not the most valuable treasure in your shop."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Hei the Third’s expression suddenly changed, Ye Chen walked up to Hei the Third, his sharp gaze fixed on the Zisha teapot in his hand.

"Third Master, let me have a look at your teapot, would you?"

Hei the Third’s face suddenly changed.

Everyone was also dumbfounded.

Everyone who came to the shop noticed Hei the Third always holding a Zisha teapot, but no one thought it was a treasure.

Ye Chen said lightly, "Third Master, your Qing Kangxi Dragon Pattern Zisha Clay Teapot is valued between eight hundred fifty to nine hundred thousand, it should be your shop’s treasure!"

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Third Master’s face turned pale abruptly.

Hei the Third never thought Ye Chen would actually see through the treasure of his Zisha teapot.

Everyone’s gaze turned towards Hei the Third.

"Oh my god, no wonder Third Master never let go of that teapot."

"I also heard, half a year ago there was a Qing Kangxi Dragon Pattern Zisha Clay Teapot auctioned for eight hundred sixty-nine thousand, so it was bought by Third Master."

Hei the Third’s face turned pale, his hands trembling slightly.

Li Rongrong’s eyes were filled with shock.

"Ye Chen, you’re amazing!"

Looking at the trembling hands of Hei the Third, Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Third Master, you wouldn’t be thinking of welshing on the bet, would you?"
