Big Leak

Xu Nian, an ancient book restorer, bought a dirty bowl at the Panjiayuan Ghost Market for 200 yuan. Based on the sound of the bounce, the swirl pattern, and the glaze color, he determined that it was a genuine azure glaze from the Ru Kiln of the Song Dynasty, with an estimated value of 3 million. After the news leaked, antique tycoon Ma Qianli set up a trap and hired "experts" to identify the bowl as a high imitation in public, forcing him to sell it at a low price. At the critical moment, a ceramics researcher from the Forbidden City who had been silently observing the ghost market for many years appeared and refuted the false identification point by point in public, exposing the scam. In the end, Xu Nian stopped selling bowls and opened a small shop called "One More Look". The bowls were kept in the store and marked as not for sale.
