Chapter 576: Genuine And Fake Snuff Bottles

After arriving at the Antique Chamber of Commerce, there was a long alley with all kinds of antique stalls on both sides.

Jiang Yu looked around and said, “Grandpa, things like snuff bottles have to be bought from stalls to be authentic.”

Elder Mo didn’t care where this thing was bought, but he was very curious. How could Jiang Yu tell if the snuff bottles were real or fake?

Jiang Yu took Elder Mo and Mo Long a few steps forward and pointed at a small stall. “Grandpa, go and take a look. Do you like the snuff bottles there?”

Elder Mo followed the direction and saw a table full of snuff bottles.

They were of different sizes and all kinds.

The stall was full of people. They were probably here to buy snuff bottles.

Elder Mo asked, “Jiang Yu, are these snuff bottles real?”

Jiang Yu said, “We’ll only know after we’ve seen them.”

Hearing this, the stall owner was displeased and said, “Miss, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that the snuff bottles I’m selling are fake?”

Jiang Yu said, “Whether they are fake or not, I have to take a look.”

“You really like to talk big, Young lady. These snuff bottles of mine have all been evaluated by experts and are all real! Don’t tell me that just because you say they are fake, it means they are fake?” The Boss said disdainfully.

Jiang Yu didn’t answer. After looking around, she picked up a snuff bottle of moderate size and said, “Boss, this is the only real one in the snuff bottles you sell.”

“What?!” The boss was shocked.

Not only the boss, but everyone else was also shocked — except Mo Long.

He had long known about Jiang Yu’s ability to identify antiques, and he had seen it before.

“You little girl, you, don’t talk nonsense!” The boss was exasperated and reached out to chase Jiang Yu away.

Mo Long grabbed the boss’ wrist and glanced at him coldly, successfully shutting the boss up.

It seemed that he would have to bring Teng Yi out in the future. At least in the future, he would not have to do such things himself.

Elder Mo was also very puzzled. He asked, “Jiang Yu, girl, how do you know that this snuff bottle is real?”

Jiang Yu explained, “The first snuff bottle was brought to Beijing by Matteo Ricci in the 29th year of the Wanli Era. The first snuff bottle was a blue and white porcelain snuff bottle. However, because it has been around for too long and there are too few of them, there are not many of them left in the world

“The one in my hand is an enamel colored snuff bottle. It has a very strong three-dimensional sense, and its achievements will surpass the blue and white porcelain snuff bottles. Boss, other than the one in my hand, the rest of the snuff bottles are basically blue and white porcelain snuff bottles. Some of them are even very bright in color. One look and you can tell that they are products of modern times. Are you saying these are real? But I’m saying they are fake.”

After what Jiang Yu said, the people around also knew the authenticity of these snuff bottles.

Although they also wanted to buy the real snuff bottle, it was in Jiang Yu’s hands, so there was a high chance that it would fall into Jiang Yu’s pocket.

“Little girl, you really know a lot about antiques?” Someone asked.

Jiang Yu smiled politely and said, “Not really. I just dabbled in this area.”

The man asked again, “Hey, young lady, do you have a boyfriend? My son…”

Before he could finish, Elder Mo hit him with his walking stick and said, “Go, go, go! This is my granddaughter-in-law! If you want your son to find one himself, go!”

The man shut his mouth embarrassedly.

The corner of Mo Long’s mouth curved into an imperceptible curve.

Jiang Yu also smiled and said, “Grandpa, this is the real snuff bottle inside. Take a look. Do you like it?”

Elder Mo coughed a few times, trying to cover up his gaffe just now. He said, “It’s not bad. I can buy it.”
