Chapter 152: There's a Universe Inside
Shen Qiu laid the granite stone flat in the middle of the table, and asked Zhu Xiaogang to bring a basin of water and a bottle of acetic acid water.
Shen Qiu first put the stone in the basin and soaked it in acetic acid water for about ten minutes, and then rubbed the surface of the stone with a brush for a while, and then a special picture appeared in everyone's sight.
The original blue-brown granite was gone, replaced by a pale red and milky white stone.
"Pork belly!"
Uncle Mao shouted out for the first time, he didn't expect that his eye-catching stone would actually turn into a boxy and layered piece of pork belly under Shen Qiu's operation! To be exact, it should be a stone in the shape of a pork belly.
But seeing the unique shape of this stone, the bright color, the image of the pork belly is realistic and appropriate, the texture of fat and thin is no different from the real meat, and it seems to smell the fragrant meat of the pork belly immediately in the middle of the table, which is all mouthwatering!
"Oh, oh, how can this be? Master Shen Qiu, Master Shen, what the hell is going on?" Uncle Mao was dumbfounded for a moment, stood up excitedly and asked.
Shen Qiu took a tissue to wipe the water off the body of the "pork belly": "Uncle Mao, just now I heard you say that this stone has the fragrance of chrysanthemums, I probably guessed that this is an agate stone from Nanling, Fujian, this kind of stone is extremely rare, the whole country can only find traces of the four seas in Fujian, your stone is eighty percent of the hands and feet of those deserters back then! They wrapped it outside with granite powder! The purpose is to hide people's eyes, but I didn't expect to be picked up cheaply by your Uncle Mao!"
"This kind of agate stone because of the special geographical environment, coupled with the influence of impurities around it, so it has formed a layer of different textures of the stone layer, and the famous dish of the south of the Yangtze River Dongpo meat is very similar, so it is also called a meat-shaped stone, this kind of stone was first discovered in the Qing Dynasty, who picked up this kind of stone immediately can be wrapped in the waist, was robbed by many people, especially in the late Qing Dynasty, the rich people in the capital hope to have a stone like this to play!"
"Fujian Nanling is rich in autumn chrysanthemums, autumn chrysanthemums are different from ordinary chrysanthemums, its floral fragrance is fragrant, and the fragrance is persistent, Uncle Mao, when you just said this situation, I guessed that it may be a flesh-shaped stone!"
Uncle Mao couldn't help but give Shen Qiu a thumbs up: "Awesome, amazing! It's not a loss to our famous treasure master in Jiangcheng, you don't need to touch it, you can see that it is a flesh-shaped stone just by the naked eye! Admire and admire! You don't see that I'm a bad old man, so I bargain indiscriminately, I can get out of 80,000 yuan at the beginning! In this way, Master Shen! I only take 18w for 200,000 yuan, and 20,000 yuan is even my old man's reward for you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to understand this stone in my life!"
Shen Qiu resolutely refused: "Uncle Mao, this 20w is what you deserve, I don't want a penny from you, take this money and go back to treat your comrades-in-arms well, and come back to patronize our Xuanbao Zhai's business in the future!"
In the future, I only recognize Xuan Bao Zhai, the reputation of the century-old store is not comparable to those messy antique shops! I will come back! I will come back!"
......
Looking at Uncle Mao's distant figure, Zhu Xiaogang cautiously approached Shen Qiu and asked, "Brother Shen......, Brother Shen! How much money can our store make from this stone, can we double the profit?"
"Double, Xiaogang, you think too much!" Xie Jingwen shook his head slightly and said: "Flesh-shaped stones may be very rare during the Qing Dynasty, but now the situation is different, in 18 years, when the Nanling side of Fujian Province blew up the mountain to make a road, a batch of flesh-shaped stones were also blown up, and the market in the entire market immediately dropped to the freezing point." If the market value of this stone was between 300,000 and 400,000 before 2018, but now the price has fallen to the bottom, the highest market price of a flesh-shaped stone like this is 15w!"
Zhu Xiaogang sighed: "Sister Xiaowen, isn't this transaction of our Xuan Bao Zhai a loss of money!"
Xie Jingwen shrugged her shoulders and made a helpless gesture: "You have to ask Master Shen about this!"
Shen Qiu smiled and said nothing, he turned over the flesh-shaped stone in his hand and showed it to Xie Jingwen, and the two of them immediately saw a number at the point of the flesh-shaped stone, 79 written in seal script, and next to the code, there was also a thumb-sized bird's head stamp, similar to a pattern of birds and beasts.
"79? Brother Shen! What does this mean? Could it be that this is a trace unique to a certain master?"
"That's not right!" Xie Jingwen carefully observed and said: "This is not the mark of a master, but a certain number, it should be the number of this flesh-shaped stone! I don't know which number it is! Shen Qiu, don't sell it! Can you make it clear?"
Shen Qiu hooked his lips and smiled slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a famous dish in the Manchu and Han banquets, Suzhou Dongpo meat!"
Zhu Xiaogang didn't react for a while: "Brother Shen, do you still need to say this? It's just a piece of braised pork! Why is it still related to the Manchu Han Quanxi!"
Xie Jingwen suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Shen Qiu! I know! Are you talking about the Manchu and Han banquet in Yangzhou Painting Boat? This dish is the seventy-ninth of the one hundred and eight dishes in the Manchu and Han banquets!" Suzhou Dongpo meat?"
"That's right! This bird's head illustrated book is the best proof, this is the poke of the craftsmen in the palace at that time, I have seen a few dishes of the Manchu and Han Dynasty on TV before, and I have also seen a poke similar to this bird's head, so I conclude that this braised pork is a delicacy roasted from the palace by Zheng'er Bajing!"
"When the Qianlong Emperor returned from Jiangnan, in order to recall and commemorate the Jiangnan food he ate along the way, he specially found a craftsman to use agate and jade to create a 108-dish Manchu and Han full banquet! Look at this Dongpo meat, whether it is a unique shape or a fine carving, it is in line with the superb level of the royal craftsmen at that time! 200,000 yuan will definitely not be lost, and when you meet a boss who knows the goods, this stone can be at least several times doubled!"
"En!" Xie Jingwen personally placed the stone of the pork belly on the shelf: "This time we are to blame our Master Shen, not bad! Good performance, it seems that your fortune-telling is quite accurate! I received the good goods from the palace in the morning! It was a good start! It is worthy of praise and praise! That's right!"
Xie Jingwen suddenly thought of a stubble: "There is an important award in the museum today, didn't we win the second place in the treasure appreciation competition? Jiangcheng Museum wants to give Xuan Bao Zhai a medal, you go to receive the award on behalf of our Xuan Bao Zhai, although it is a pity that you did not get the first place, but this second place is also quite not easy! It means that from now on, the famous stores in Jiangcheng will also have a place for our Xuan Bao Zhai!"
"Miss, let's go!" Shen Qiu frowned and said: "I have always disliked this kind of occasion for awards, and today's scene is indispensable to deal with media and television stations, so I'd better forget it!
"How can I go there?" Xie Jingwen hurriedly pushed Shen Qiu out: "You are the most dazzling existence in the treasure appreciation conference, your limelight has even overshadowed the first-place Treasure Pavilion, if I go for you, I will not be scolded to death! You go, you go! It's a big deal, I let Xiao Qi accompany you, Xiao Qi's adaptability is very strong! Take advantage of the fact that everyone on the TV station is there, help Xuan Bao Zhai to play another wave of advertising, hehe!"
Shen Qiu had no reason to refuse, and was about to call Xiaoqi when he went out, when he arrived at the door of Xuan Bao Zhai, he saw a Bentley car parked at the door of Xuan Bao Zhai, followed by a Buick seven-seater business car.
Zhu Xiaogang ran out of the store ecstatically: "Sister Xiaowen can! I just left an Uncle Mao, and now there is a big VIP customer! Our Xuan Bao Zhai is going to develop this time!"
Shen Qiu stopped Zhu Xiaogang and saw a man and a woman coming down from the black Bentley car, and six bodyguards who were tall and tall came down from the business car, and each person in a suit pen holder was tall and big.
Everyone followed behind a woman who was about forty years old and shoeed, wearing a leopard-print low-ferocious top, a black business skirt, and a pair of black-framed toad glasses.
Shen Qiu had never seen this woman, but he was very familiar with the tall young man.
This person is none other than the master who brought the Sealing Treasure Sword last time, Chu Zhifei, who has a baby kiss with Xie Jingwen!
At first glance, this posture doesn't look like it's here to buy something, it's more like it's here to smash the field!
