Chapter 227: The Sage of Amber
But under Lin Fengcao's urging, the stall owner's first feeling was that this thing might not be a real rhino horn, but a special artificial material imitation!
Because even the hooves of a black donkey with horns and horns are not so light.
He thought about it for a moment, no wonder! At that time, this item was not in the manifest, and he took it more by the way, but the big merchant didn't chase after him to ask for more money! In fact, he didn't know that people didn't care about him, and the big dealer also picked it up at a local stall and spent a lot of money.
Since, I found that something was wrong and someone wanted to buy it, and I went together, the stall owner simply didn't do anything, and poured it out first!
He had a very important question that he didn't think clearly: is it not a woolly rhino horn, it is not necessarily a worse material, it may be better?
He hadn't thought clearly, not that he hadn't thought of it, he had thought of amber beeswax, which is a natural material lighter than rhino horn.
However, even if amber has blood amber and brown amber, it is only black, it will not be so black, and the light transmittance will not be so bad.
Moreover, the new ore of dark amber is about the same price as the woolly rhino horn, and there is no need to "imitate" each other.
still responded to that sentence, knowledge is wealth, he can't think clearly, it's not that his brain is not good, it's that he lacks knowledge and vision.
Lin Fengcao looked at the stall owner at this time, "Ah, have people been playing for more than ten years?"
"82 grams, I'll give you a fraction, 80 grams, 24,000 grams, okay? You can just play around, rhino horn, good things! There are also medicinal health benefits!" the man said with a smile.
"It's too expensive!" Lin Fengcao shook his head.
Three gangs of a hero. At this time, the advantage of visiting the market with more people was reflected, and Yu Yao and Yang Rui gave full play to their expertise in cooperation
"Boss, this woolly rhinoceros, the best material, is only three or four hundred and one grams, you are not the problem of the old material, it must be the density, and the chaff in it is not necessarily. How can you still take three hundred and one grams?" Yu Yao lit a cigarette and said seemingly casually.
Yang Rui nodded, "Two hundred and one grams is a bit expensive, I see, ten thousand is almost the same!"
"Good guy, you singing and harmonizing, you can't buy such heavy raw materials for 10,000! And have you seen it, this pen holder, the craftsmanship is also very good!"
Lin Fengcao waved his hand, "I'm just engaged in wood carving, it's not bad? ”
"This is called natural beauty! What is that sentence called? You are already beautiful!" said the stall owner, as if he had caught a little, "This also shows that the material is good, and he is reluctant to go!"
Lin Fengcao thought for a while, "That's it, it's rhino horn, it's two hundred and one grams, you can spare me a little more than a fraction, fifteen thousand!
Lin Fengcao said, put down the pen stand, and got up.
"I'm really convinced of you!" the stall owner pretended to be helpless, "Even if it's two hundred and one grams, it's at least 16,000 if you go to the fraction!" And if that's the case, then you can leave this base for me, it's worth a few hundred." ”
"Fifteen thousand, with a base!" Lin Fengcao emphasized.
The stall owner didn't speak.
Lin Fengcao pulled his legs and left.
If you want to indulge in this trick, it is common in the market, and buyers and sellers understand it, but it also depends on whether it is good or not. Lin Fengcao walked fast, without dragging mud and water, if Yu Yao hadn't seen and understood things, he would have really let go.
This is mainly because there are Yu Yao and Yang Rui to support him, the main thing is not to call him, Yu Yao or Yang Rui can come out to play a round and win 16,000;
"Come back, come back!" shouted the stall owner. He can also make a little more money, and he won't come to this hammer until the end.
After the payment was cleared, the three of them walked out of the greenhouse.
Lin Fengcao directly put the pen holder into the inner pocket of his coat, and in the bag he was carrying, only a boxwood base remained.
"This isn't a rhino horn, right?" Yang Rui also saw some clues, but he couldn't see what it was?
Lin Fengcao nodded, "Amber." ”
"Amber?" Yang Rui was stunned.
Lin Fengcao looked at Yu Yao, "Mr. Yu should know." ”
"This is Jewel. Yu Yao spoke.
"That's not right!" Yang Rui shook his head, "I've seen Xuanpo! Isn't there still output in Myanmar now? It's not so dark, and it won't be so impermeable." Besides, the boss supports the stall to do business, and there are so many cultural and entertainment lovers who come and go, will you not be able to tell that it is Jinpo?"
Lin Fengcao smiled, "Have you ever seen Xuanpo?"
"That's right, the top-quality one is free of impurities, and it's slightly more expensive than the gram price of woolly rhino horn!"
Yu Yao patted Yang Rui on the shoulder, "That's not called Xuanpo, it's all dark-colored pools of blood or brown pearl, which look almost black, and they are all hyped up by merchants in the name of Xuanpo." ”
Lin Fengcao nodded, "The real pearl is formed under very harsh conditions, how can you easily see the real one on the market?"
Yang Rui was silent, if others said it, he might not believe it, but Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao said it together, he had to believe it.
Besides, aside from the thing itself, he understands the hype of the merchants.
For example, there are two kinds of deep water in the cultural toy market, dzi and agarwood, and merchants will come up with all kinds of names to hype, and even some players who don't know about it are convinced, and after a few days of shopping in the market and flipping through a few posts, they feel that it is no problem to make a move! In fact, very few genuine products are only in the hands of a very small number of people.
"So what the hell is Jewel?"
"Forget it!" Lin Fengcao was very determined, and turned his brows to stretch, "You two have missed it, I didn't expect it to be my turn so soon!"
Yang Rui pointed at Lin Fengcao and said to Yu Yao, "He missed it, and he is suspected of bragging, can you tell me about it?"
Yu Yao smiled, "This 瑿 (yi) character, with the bottom of the jade character, the so-called jade has nine colors, and it is as mysterious as clear water." The real amber has been rare since ancient times, which is why it has the nickname of 'Amber Sage'······"
Speaking of amber and beeswax, to use the simplest and most general terms, transparent is called amber, and impermeable or semi-transparent is called beeswax. Among the ambers, even the darkest blood and brown amber can be seen as transparent to the sun's rays.
Only the pearl, facing the sun, is also pure black. Only with a strong flashlight, in a completely dark environment, can you see a little transparent meaning.
Moreover, at this time, you can see that there is red in the amber, not the blood red of blood amber, not the brown red of brown amber, but cherry red or similar color.
Pearls have been scarce since ancient times, and they are indeed occasionally found in Myanmar today, but if they are found, they will be treasured, not the so-called pearls on the market.
Moreover, today's new mines, and the description in ancient materials, the meaning is still almost the same.
Song Yingxing, a scientist in the Ming Dynasty, wrote a book called "Heavenly Creations", known as the "Encyclopedia of Crafts"; in it, there is also a description of the pearl, saying that the pearl is the most expensive of all amber, and the price in the Ming Dynasty is "five times that of gold".
This Po pen holder, in terms of vintage, it is really from the Ming Dynasty!
