Chapter 77: Dancing Horsebit Cup, Two-Hole Jade Knife

"Home-brewed fruit wine, tired of rushing to the market to sell goods, refreshing. The aunt's face turned slightly red and responded, "How much do you want to buy this pot?"

"You can't say anything about your stuff?"

"I'm totaling. The aunt thought for a while, "This silver is worth some money, and it is very good." It's a little old······ By the way, this is an antique, the older it is, the more valuable it is, how can it be in the Qing Dynasty?"

"Why don't you sum it up and take it over and I'll take a closer look first?" Wu Duo said with a smile.

"Okay. The aunt handed over the silver kettle.

Wu Dazhi stood aside, tilting his head to watch Wu Duo talk about this "sudden" deal.

After taking a closer look, no matter how poor Wu Duo's eyesight is, he can also see that the horse on the silver pot is the shape of a Tang horse.

And it's a dancing horse, with a ribbon tied around its neck and a wine glass in its mouth.

Dancing Horsebit Cup!

There is an allusion to this.

There is also a cup final banquet song, and the head and tail are drunk like mud. ”

In the later period of Tang Xuanzong's reign, he became more and more arrogant and lascivious, indulging in lustful dogs and horses. He used to domesticate hundreds of dancing horses, and every year on his birthday, he would hold a feast in the palace, and one of the important programs was the dancing horse bit.

To the beat of the "Pour a Cup", the dancing horses spin and dance on the high bedboards, accompanied by trained "circus troupes" and skilled musicians.

The climax of this show is that the head horse holds up a cup full of wine and moves forward to celebrate Tang Xuanzong's birthday.

This grand dance horse birthday party came to an abrupt end in the 14th year of Tianbao.

Because the Anshi Rebellion broke out.

Tang Xuanzong was forced to flee Chang'an, and these dancing horses fell into the hands of An Lushan. To be exact, it was in the army of Tian Chenghe, a general who was included under An Lushan.

One day, Tian Chenghe's army held a banquet, and he had to drink wine and eat meat, and he had to have some music and dancing, and as soon as he heard the beat of the music, the dancing horses naturally jumped along.

It would not be surprising if someone who had participated in Tang Xuanzong's birthday party saw it, but this group of soldiers had never seen it, and they were scared.

Demons!

So, Tian Chengsi ordered the soldiers to beat these dancing horses to death.

The show Dance Bit Cup has not been held since. However, the allusion of the dancing horse bit cup has been handed down.

This silver kettle of the dancing horsebit cup, which has similar cultural relics, is from the Tang Dynasty and is now in the museum.

However, the one in the museum is gilded, the dancing horse is gilded, the pattern is gilded, and the process of the handle and the lid is also more complicated, and the lid is hammered into a lotus petal.

But in any case, this silver kettle, if it is also from the Tang Dynasty, must be worth a lot of money!

After Wu Duo saw it clearly, he definitely wanted to listen to it.

When I understood, my aunt also quoted a bid, "Young man, if you really want it, give 10,000 yuan!"

"Ahem!" Wu Dazhi, who was smoking on the side, almost choked on a puff of cigarette.

It's not about how much this thing is actually worth, but because this aunt is really good, she has nothing to do with bringing a large collection of enjoyable wine bottles, and she can call for tens of thousands of dollars when she opens her mouth.

"I really want to, but you're too expensive. Wu Duo got up.

He didn't want to get away with it, he really couldn't buy it at this price.

Because this dancing horsebit cup silver kettle is not a thing of the Tang Dynasty! but from the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the production time can barely touch Qianlong's tail. And it's not an official imitation, and the Qing Palace Office in the middle of the Qing Dynasty has not imitated this thing, it is something from a folk workshop.

You can buy it, because the thing is a little interesting, and it is considered an ancient imitation of the ancients, and the year is not too shallow.

However, this price is not good.

Because the price can only be measured by the old silver ware of the people in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, this silver kettle, 10,000 yuan is indeed not cost-effective. The key is that there is little room for appreciation in the short term.

"If you think it's expensive, forget it, I don't want to sell the old things that have been handed down at home. "This aunt doesn't have a mouth.

Wu Dazhi smiled and said to Wu Duo, "I've been busy for a long time, can I leave now?"

"Let's go. Wu Duoxin said: The old rich man may have already understood it, and this is deliberately grinding me.

There is no need to grind with the aunt, even if the price can be reduced, it is estimated that it will not be much.

Moreover, Wu Duo said to leave, and the aunt didn't stop him.

However, the stall owner of the vegetable stall said, "Wait, you like old things?"

"You can't just look at whether you are old or not, you have to be a little interesting. "Just frustrated, Wu Duo was a little uninterested.

"Do you think I'm doing this?" the stall owner took out a piece of jade from under a pile of vegetable mounds.

Wu Duo looked at it, and this piece of jade was about eleven or twelve centimeters long and four or five centimeters wide, with two round holes, one thick and the other thin.

It's like the shape of a jade knife.

However, this jade material is really not good.

Identification of jade materials, but Wu Duo's specialty; this jade material is dark green, the texture is not very moist, like a local jade species, and if you look carefully, you can roughly determine that it is a serpentine jade.

If nothing else, the jade material fell first.

Moreover, there are still some gray and white mud shells on this jade knife, which seem to have just been unearthed.

"This jade piece was dug out of a well dug at home the day before yesterday, and I was lucky that I didn't dig it up. Today, when I rushed to the market to sell goods, I took it in my hand and scraped the burrs on the noodles of the vegetable piers. Not to mention, it is easier to use than a scraper, it is smooth and does not leave a mark. When Wu Duo looked at it, the stall owner muttered a few words on the side.

This thing looks old enough to look at the year, maybe even to the Shang Dynasty.

But again, antiques, to judge the value, not just "ancient". This jade knife, the value of cultural relics may be very high, but the jade material is average, the quality is not good, the size is small, and the shape is ordinary, Wu Duo really can't raise any momentum.

"I'll see. At this time, Wu Dazhi opened his mouth and stretched out his hand.

The stall owner handed the jade knife to Wu Dazhi, who looked at it carefully, and even kept adjusting the angle of the light to observe.

"What price do you want to sell?" After reading it, Wu Dazhi asked the stall owner while handing the jade knife to Wu Duo, and motioned for him to take another look with his eyes.

Wu Duo took it and simply put his finger on it and listened.

As a result, this thing was far older than he had imagined, and it was actually something more than 4,000 years ago!

This pole hit the Neolithic Age!

The two-hole jade knife of Longshan culture!

Well, although it sounds very exciting, the market price of this one is twenty or thirty thousand.

Moreover, the stall owner who sells vegetable piers actually followed the aunt's quotation, "Give 10,000 lines, right?"

Although this thing can be valued, it is not easy to find a buyer, and it takes a little effort to sell it. What's more, this is something he dug up, and at first glance it looks like a pit, and he still bears the risk of turning it over.

If Wu Duo is allowed to make a counteroffer, he will either backhand one or two hundred, or let him say it well.

But Wu Dazhi seemed to be pondering something, and did not respond immediately.
