785 Is This the Standard of Maple Leaf Pavilion?
The people around also felt that Ye Feng was looking for an excuse.
“Oh, Maple Leaf Pavilion’s people are so cowardly that they don’t even dare to accept Purple Bamboo Pavilion’s challenge.”
“With this kind of standard, you still dare to come to Yang Cheng to embarrass yourself? Go back to Zhonghai.”
“Boss Yao has already said so much. Are you still going to pretend to be dead?”
“If you have the ability, then show us your skills. Let us all see the ability of Maple Leaf Pavilion…”
At this moment, Old Sun brought a group of appraisers from Maple Leaf Pavilion and rushed over.
Hearing the provocation of this group of people, they were all filled with righteous indignation. Two appraisers immediately stood up.
Ye Feng raised his hand to stop the two of them. He slowly walked into the arena. “Since Boss Yao has said so, then it would be unreasonable if our Maple Leaf Pavilion doesn’t show off.”
Yao Shunmin nodded eagerly. “Show me all your skills. Don’t show any mercy. If you can really pick out something more expensive than my teacup, my Purple Bamboo Pavilion will definitely support your Maple Leaf Pavilion in entering Yang Cheng.”
When Sun Shouyi and the others heard his words, they became excited.
The biggest obstacle for Maple Leaf Pavilion to enter Yang Cheng was that the local antique dealers were too xenophobic. Outsiders could not establish themselves at all.
If Purple Bamboo Pavilion really had the ability to support them, then Maple Leaf Pavilion’s entry into Yang Cheng was a sure thing.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they had to win this challenge.
“Deal!”
Ye Feng only gave him a faint smile, then turned around and walked to the front of the stall.
The items on the stall were all clearly priced, so there was no need to worry that the stall owner would suddenly raise the price.
He glanced around and suddenly picked up a pitch-black teacup. There was a lot of mud on the teacup, but it was not as good as the one Yao Shunmin and the others had chosen.
The price of this teacup was 13,000 yuan, which was less than half of the price of Yao Shunmin’s.
“This one then.”
He picked up the teacup and Lin Qianqian hurriedly ran over to pay.
“Hahaha, this is the treasure you picked? Are you planning to compare this with us?”
When Yao Shunmin saw the black teacup in his hand, he couldn’t help but sneer.
The people who had gathered around to watch the show also laughed.
“I’m dying of laughter. Is this the standard of Maple Leaf Pavilion? It seems that my expectations of them were too high.”
“Ai, I also thought that even if they couldn’t compare to Purple Bamboo Pavilion, they shouldn’t be too far off, right? I’ve never thought that…”
“Purple Bamboo Pavilion is an old overlord after all. How can they be casually challenged?”
“Sigh, I have really embarrassed the entire Maple Leaf Pavilion…”
Old Sun and the others were a little angry when they were ridiculed by this group of people. However, the boss had not spoken yet, so they could not immediately counterattack.
Just as everyone was mocking him, Purple Bamboo Pavilion’s Mr. Liu stared at the teacup in Ye Feng’s hand for a while and suddenly exclaimed: “Mister, can I take a look?”
Everyone looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Ye Feng did not say much. He directly passed the teacup to him.
Mr. Liu carefully took it and flipped it over. His expression became more and more surprised. “This… Could this be…”
Yao Shunmin asked curiously, “Mr. Liu, is there something wrong with this teacup?”
Mr. Liu first raised his head and looked at Ye Feng in shock, then turned to look at Yao Shunmin. “If I am not wrong, this should be a Southern Song Dynasty Jian kiln rabbit hair tea cup, and among the Jian kiln tea cups, it is definitely a top-quality one.”
When everyone heard his introduction, they looked at each other in shock.
They were all antique lovers, so they naturally knew the name of Jian kiln. It was a famous kiln in the Song Dynasty, famous for its black-glazed tea cups.
They just didn’t expect that this ordinary-looking teacup would actually be a genuine black glaze from the Song Dynasty. Its value was simply immeasurable.
Sun Shouyi and Lin Qianqian were even more excited. Could it be that Maple Leaf Pavilion was going to become famous today?
Yao Shunmin’s expression was a little gloomy. “Mr. Liu, are you sure this is a Southern Song Dynasty rabbit hair tea cup?”
On one hand, he was asking, and on the other hand, he was hinting to Mr. Liu that even if the teacup was real, it was best not to say it out loud. Otherwise, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of Purple Bamboo Pavilion.
Mr. Liu didn’t understand his hint, or he didn’t want to be involved in this. He nodded and said, “That’s right, I’m not mistaken. This is the Southern Song Dynasty’s Jian kiln rabbit hair tea cup!”
This time, the crowd immediately erupted into a heated discussion.
“It’s really a rabbit hair tea cup from the Southern Song Dynasty? Isn’t this appraiser from Maple Leaf Pavilion too amazing?”
“Yeah, I saw that he didn’t look closely just now and directly picked this one out of a pile of antiques.”
“This is simply amazing. I don’t even know how he did it.”
“If it’s the real thing, then the value of this teacup is probably immeasurable.”
“I remember that I saw a Jian kiln teacup being auctioned off at the auction last time. At that time, it was directly auctioned off for more than 800,000 yuan. It was simply priceless.”
“Then this one should be worth at least a few hundred thousand, right? This is much more expensive than the one at Purple Bamboo Pavilion.”
“Purple Bamboo Pavilion has really shot themselves in the foot this time around…”
