Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Lively Antique Night Market
I bought a bracelet, because the workmanship of the jade carving mountain is still relatively rough, and the two of them don't have much appetite, so they spent 60 yuan to buy a more than 20 catties, ready to take it home and give it to Zhang Hui. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a mountain similar to the yellow jade in the jade, which can be placed in the office in the future, which is said to be conducive to business management and prosperity!
And it is said that you have to sit west to east, and you can't make a mistake - this is what the salesman said, and the five elements of yin and yang are used, and it makes sense!
A pair of bracelets is hundreds, and a jade carving mountain with a few dozen catties and a very good quality is only a few dozen pieces, this is jade, and it may be a world of different prices.
"Tell them that our work unit can be cheaper?" After coming out, Guan Xingquan asked Zhang Nan.
"Yes, this will be a lot of what we buy, and I'm talking in the industry, plus it's a person from a state unit from the capital. Although the variety bought is single, you can still get this relative wholesale price, otherwise the price will be at least several times higher!"
The prices marked on those cardboard boxes are hundreds, and they all cost half a year's salary!
"If we pretend to be a southern customer, we can get the lowest price, but we have to buy a large number of miscellaneous goods, and they will give the real wholesale price, which is slightly cheaper than the price given to us. β
This is the jade industry, if you don't buy it from the industry or retailers, no matter how much you buy, people won't give you a wholesale price, just wait for the hemorrhage!
After putting things back in the hotel, I came out again, and the time was just over three o'clock.
took the bus to the Wuhou Temple in Wollongong, West of Nanyang City, and there was still an hour to visit, and the two went in and hurried to take a turn.
Zhang Nan has been here before, and he didn't have the intention of traveling. Unexpectedly, Guan Xingquan was a fan of the Three Kingdoms when he was a child, and he was full of interest when he saw the promotional photos of Wuhou Temple in the hotel.
After a circle, Wuhou Temple's biggest impression of Guan Xingquan is not the ancient buildings and history, but the ground in the temple: almost all of them are paved with huge and heavy Dushan jade jade plates!
Other ancestral halls and temples are already very particular about using stone slabs, and Nanyang people directly use jade!
And it can be seen that these jade plates are old, and the surface has been concave a lot, and the friction is oily and slippery!
There was a light rain just now, and the jade plate with water on the surface was more transparent, standing in the courtyard of the Wuhou Temple, I was dazzled at a glance!
This is a world made of jade!
Not only is the ground made of huge and thick jade plates, but there are many inscriptions left by various dynasties and generations in the Wuhou Temple, and almost all the tablets are also carved with Dushan jade seals!
......
sighed at the Nanyang people's generosity towards the Wuhou Temple, and the two of them stepped on the closing time of the Wuhou Temple at four o'clock before they came out.
"Let's go, let's eat. β
There are several state-run hotels near the Wuhou Temple, and you can walk into one at random.
Zhang Nan ordered three soups: stir-fried tripe with garlic, braised beef, stir-fried Chinese cabbage and meatball soup, just three dishes and one soup plus two white flour steamed buns, so that the two of them were full of ravines.
Compared with the restaurants in Jiangnan Province, the dishes in Nanyang are as big as the three of the former, and the amount of dishes is even more real, and the price is cheap!
As Jiangnan people, Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan will complain that the plates in their hometown are too compact!
Eat and drink to your heart's content, and it will be dark.
"Go to the train station. β
As soon as I finished eating, I walked out of the store and went straight to the train station.
It's not to catch the train, the NY municipal-government will still be quite open-minded, and they got a jade and antique night market in the railway station square, and the two of them are going there to find Taobao.
The first time Zhang Nan came to Nanyang in his last life was by train, it was in the 90s, and as soon as he got out of the train station, he was attracted by the bustling night market - the lights were bright, the flow of people was shuttle, and the things were even more diverse and exquisite.
And this night market has been around since the 80s, so I don't know if there are many stalls now.
The two of them walked as a walk to eat, and it didn't take long to arrive at the train station.
It is said that it is a square, but it is not big, and the railway station building is quite small, which cannot be compared with the Nanyang Railway Station 20 years later. But there were no shortage of people: rows of stalls had been set up in the square, and overhead were all kinds of messy wires.
"The stuff here isn't as good as the state stores. β
looked at it casually, and in front of a stall, Guan Xingquan pointed to the bracelets and ornaments in the stall and said.
The county dialect is not understood by the stall owner, otherwise he will have to be annoyed!
I don't like other people's things, and I don't know how good they are.
"Do you think that what you buy in the afternoon is a stall? Good mines and good rough stones will be controlled by state-owned factories, and self-employed people will eat some bits and pieces. β
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Nan spoke Mandarin and said to the 30-year-old stall owner in front of him: "Boss, is there any old jade?"
The stall owner had long noticed the two big men who spoke the southern dialect, and felt that they were two fat sheep.
"Yes, of course!"
Say this, take out a small paper bag from a bag under the stall.
"The jade axes and ritual weapons of the Warring States are absolutely rare!"
Quite proudly.
This is a small white jade axe with a handle more than ten centimeters long, and there is still a little soil under the light, and the jade seems to be a little dry because it has been buried in the soil for too long.
However, Zhang Nan didn't answer, but shook his head with a smile and said, "Boss, we can't afford the things of the Shang Dynasty." β
Hearing Zhang Nan say this, the stall owner smiled a little embarrassed.
"The boss is exquisite!" said and put away the jade axe, and he was not angry.
is exquisite, that's because Zhang Nan didn't open his mouth and said that what he took out was wrong.
What kind of fat sheep is this? connoisseur!
Because Guan Xingquan didn't understand the subtext in Zhang Nan's words, Zhang Nan took the initiative to say to him in dialect: "This style of jade axe is an imitation of the Shang Dynasty jade axe in the museum, and a little artistic creation is added to the modeling."
After cooking, it is heated with a fire, and then put it in cold water at once, and it looks dry and white. Then use loess and glue to treat it, just like it has just been dug out. β
In fact, Zhang Nan felt quite kind when he saw the jade axe, this kind of play in the 90s would be mass production, all kinds of sizes, unique shapes, he has seen it many times, I didn't expect it to be there.
"Boss, Jiangnan people?"
The sale failed, and the stall owner didn't care, but came to set it up.
"Well, Jiangnan people. As he spoke, he handed a cigarette to the other party.
The stall owner took the cigarette, "Do you want old jade, or do you want it?"
This is a clichΓ©: such connoisseurs come to the night market stalls, obviously not to buy new jade.
"Look at them all. β
Zhang Nan didn't say dead.
"Two of you, talking inside. β
As he spoke, the stall owner took out two small folding chairs and placed them on the inside of the stall.
Zhang Nan and the others were not polite, and went around to sit down.
It seems that the stall owner should be a bit of a real guy, otherwise he wouldn't let the two of them go inside to chat: just across a stall, if it's really a good thing to hand around, the target is too big, and it's not good for one to be careless and cause onlookers.
"I really don't have any good old jade on hand, but I bought two bronze mirrors yesterday, good things, do you want to take a look?"
Seeing the stall owner's slightly mysterious appearance, Zhang Nan said with a smile: "Take it out, boss, have you ever seen a policeman who can speak Jiangnan dialect come to you to fish?"
"Haha!" Now the stall owner also smiled: I have seen a lot of merchants in Jiangnan, where there are different pronunciations, and a dialect is like a book from heaven, and outsiders can't learn it at all if they don't have decades! I really haven't seen the police from Jiangnan Province come here to handle cases, so I am relieved.
