Chapter 613: Walnut Gossip

"Yes, I heard that a lot of things were taken! There are also a lot of things left behind at the scene, jade agate gold ware, and a few broken three-color horses alone!"

It is not surprising that these things appear in a Tang tomb with four patios, and the level of the tomb owner is enough.

"Oh. Yu Yao nodded slightly.

"Guess what?" Xu Jun looked mysterious, "In the past two days, it is said that a half-meter-tall Tang Sancai gold-patterned vase has appeared in Chang'an to be traded!"

"Wait. Yu Yao listened, "The tomb robber took something, and he had to stop for a while, so soon?"

"Who said it didn't stop? The tomb was stolen two months ago! Let me say it first, it's to pave the way, and the focus is on this vase that appeared on the market in Chang'an!"

Yu Yao looked at Xu Jun, "Such things are all traded in secret, you are well-informed!"

"It's not that I'm well-informed, it's that my friend has a wide and deep path. Xu Jun smiled, "Of course, such a thing, don't say that it may come out of the tomb, even if it can be bought and sold, I can't afford it!"

Tang Sancai's things are relatively hot now, especially Sancai horses, and many players don't care whether they are underworld or not.

Tang Sancai's subject matter is very wide, in addition to the three-color horse, what figurines, animal figurines, all kinds of utensils, there are.

Vases are not uncommon, but they are more than half a meter tall and have gold ornaments. It's easy to overfetch a price for something like this.

This kind of thing, Yu Yao just listened to it, and when it was clear, he didn't say anything more.

Xu Jun seemed to be very interested in Yu Yao, and after saying this, he didn't even talk about the red sandalwood flat head case, and kept asking Yu Yao questions.

Yu Yao couldn't be pestered, but in the end, he only roughly told him that he was doing some antique business in Jiangzhou. Xu Jun didn't just ask or say, telling Yu Yao that he was "walking together" with him.

"Peers?" Yu Yao couldn't help but ask. Because Xu Jun's eyesight is really not very good, he is more like a self-taught "talented" player, if he is an antique dealer at this level, he is estimated to be able to cry.

"Count yourself half a peer! I'm in the walnut business. Xu Jun introduced, "So I like nuclear and wood things." ”

"Oh, mainly wild walnuts from the Qinling Mountains?" asked Yu Yao.

Now in Laishui, Hebei Province, there are all kinds of walnuts, and I have a few acres of walnut forests over there. ”

"No wonder you're more idle now, and you don't pick up green and yellow!"

In spring and summer, last year's walnuts were sold out, and this year's walnuts will be planted around the beginning of autumn.

"That's right. However, now the walnut tree is early, and it does not need to start in the beginning of autumn, first to pair the green skin, then to sell the finished product, and finally the rest to carve. Xu Jun introduced, "Now the gambling on green skins is through the online live broadcast platform, open on the spot, and when the time comes, I will hire an anchor and clean up the two skins." ”

Walnut gambling on green skin is a favorite way for many people who play walnuts.

When the walnut goes down the tree, the fruit has a green skin and flesh, and a pair of the same variety is selected to be basically the same size and shape.

If it is big, has good textures, and can be paired, then the price of buying a pair of green skins is much cheaper than buying a pair of finished walnuts. However, if it can't be paired, or even if the walnuts are problematic or crooked melons and cracked dates, then you will lose money.

"By the way, brother, I'll show you the right baby!" Xu Jun said, taking out a toy bag from his body.

This cultural play lover, it is very common to carry a cultural toy bag with you, walnuts, handles, skewers, in short, go out with you, and plate it when you have time.

What Xu Jun took out of the toy bag was a pair of lion heads with heavy pulp. Wenwan walnut, the main ones on the market now are lion heads, tiger heads, official hats, son-in-law hats, and chicken hearts. It's basically named after the shape.

The lion's head is the most popular category among players, and there are dozens of varieties below, such as the common grinding disc on the market, the four buildings, the apple round, the starry sky, the white lion, the southern Xinjiang stone, and so on.

However, what Xu Jun took out was a kind of lion head that was not available on the market, which was more similar to the lion head of the grinding plate, but the lines were deeper and the shape was more rounded.

The most important thing is that the walnuts are almost purple-red, basically jade, smooth and clear, and they have been worn to the point that they are completely free of edges and corners, round and smooth.

"This should be the so-called old lion head, right?" After Yu Yao saw it, he was indeed very refreshed.

Xu Jun first turned a few times in his hand, and the two walnuts collided occasionally, making a crisp sound, like jade, and then said, "This should be something from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, a hundred years!"

Xu Jun looks a little like to show off, but this player who plays antiques will have a more or less self-satisfied psychology about his beloved and often played things, which is inevitable.

Yu Yao smiled slightly, "It's really good." This pair of walnuts can also be worth more than 100,000 or 200,000. ”

"Brother really knows how to do it! This is a pure wild old lion head, and now there is no more! Now even if it is a wild walnut, the amount is okay, but how can there be such a low pile? This kind of stuffy tip? How can it match such a good pair?"

The "pile" of the walnut is a very important indicator, which refers to the height from the bottom to the tip of the walnut; if the height is greater than the width of the opposite side, it is a high pile; if the height is obviously less than the width, it is a low pile. In the case of lion heads, low piles are more beautiful and popular than tall piles, and tend to be more expensive.

At present, most of the walnuts on the market are grafted and planted, while the wild walnuts in the deep mountains rarely have low stakes and are difficult to match.

As for the stuffy tip, it means that the tip of the walnut is not so obvious, and the position of the tip is constricted, so that it will appear more rounded and feel better.

The more Xu Jun spoke, the more proud he became, "Maybe, which palace came from the late Qing Dynasty!"

In the Qing Dynasty, it was indeed very popular to play walnuts, Qianlong also liked it very much, and he also wrote a poem: The sun and the moon rotate in the palm of your hand, and time wants to go backwards;

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, a pair of good walnuts even became a symbol of status and a sign of taste. There are slips of the tongue: the three treasures in Baylor's hand, wrenching the walnut in the cage bird, and there is also a slip of the tongue: the literati pan walnuts, the warriors turn the iron ball, the rich play with gourds, and the idlers walk the dogs.

Now in the Forbidden City, there are still walnuts from the Qing Dynasty.

The two chatted and ate at the same time, and Yu Yao saw that the time was not early, so he took a look and proposed to break up.

Xu Jun seemed to be unsatisfied, because in addition to talking about walnuts, Yu Yao also said a little bit about identification, which already made him admire.

"Hehe!" Xu Jun smiled evilly, "You're okay tonight anyway, I'll ask you to have fun again, right?"
