Chapter 412: A false alarm
"The craftsmanship of this box is very good, and the wood in it must be good material!" The stall owner is not very old, in his thirties, and his beard is quite individual.
Lin Fengcao coughed, and Yu Yao just nodded and didn't answer.
How can there be any really good wood? Whether he doesn't understand it or fools people, there is no need to say more.
However, this box is indeed a decent thing as well. According to Yu Yao's observations, this should be from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the paint is very flat and smooth.
The most important thing is that the raden inlay on the lid is not low.
Raden is mostly white, black lacquer inlaid with luoden, contrasting, is a classic craft since the Tang and Song dynasties. In ancient times, the word luodian was the meaning of shellfish mosaic, snail is shell, and dian is inlay. Today, however, Raden has become a proper noun for shellfish bones.
This small box is the heaven and earth cover, Yu Yao directly removed the top cover, and found that the inside was also black paint.
However, in the center of the bottom of the box, there is a semicircular protrusion, the bottom diameter is about two centimeters, and the top is not black lacquer, but an almost transparent "glue-like paint" thing.
And this semi-circular protrusion, as if inlaid at the bottom of the box. That is, it should be a bead.
Through the almost transparent surface, you can vaguely feel that the color of this bead is a bit like the natural color of bronze. The natural color of bronze is not green, but mainly yellow, slightly dark.
But the color of this bead is separated by a layer of "membrane", just a little similar, it seems to have a metallic feeling, and the color sense is darker, and a little purple, with "black gold" to describe, it seems to be more appropriate.
Because of the bulge in the middle, it looks a lot like a box for bracelets.
The stall owner saw Yu Yao examining the beads at the bottom of the box, and spoke again, "Maybe there is a wooden bead inlaid with purple avocado at the bottom!"
Yu Yao smiled, "A small-sized purple azale bead is not worth much." However, this lacquer box is still very beautiful, if you buy a bracelet and give it away together, it is a bit interesting. โ
"Yes, this box doesn't work with a normal bracelet! and it's an old box!" replied the stall owner.
Yu Yao had already seen it almost at this time, and seeing that Lin Fengcao was inconvenient to see, after carefully handing it to him, he said to the stall owner, "What's the old way?"
"I don't think it's also from the Qianlong Dynasty, and there were many skilled craftsmen at that time!"
Yu Yao pinched his chin, took out a cigarette, and handed one to the stall owner.
"What a cigarette!" the stall owner happily took it, "Friend, you are here to travel for the Chinese New Year, right? Look ahead, I will make less money! Just like you said, buy another bracelet, go back and give it away, pick up the girl!"
"Then what is the minimum you can get out?"
Actually, I originally wanted to send it to the antique city, because there are not many connoisseurs in this spontaneous market, and many people are aiming for woodware. The stall owner chattered, "Make up a whole number, you can give 18,000!"
"How did 10,000 and 8 come to an integer?"
"I'm cutting it for you first, the whole number of 20,000 is cut into 18,000, which sounds good. โ
Yu Yao couldn't help but laugh, "Then cut off 10,000 again, can't you cut 8,000?"
"Just for this luodian inlay technique, eight thousand is not enough!" the stall owner took a puff of cigarette, "I didn't play with you, there are not many such things in this market." Old enough, good work, not damaged. Do you want to buy a good bracelet these days, but not 100,200,000 yuan? This box, a good horse with a good saddle!"
Yu Yao was silent.
Lin Fengcao said, "I think eight thousand is also high, three or five thousand is about the same." โ
The stall owner grinned, "Two fists are hard to beat four hands, you two partner to make a price, I can't resist it." โ
Yu Yao thought for a while and stretched out a finger, "You said the whole number, I won't cut it more, 10,000, it will be successful, if I don't buy a good bracelet box of Huanghuali, it will cost so much." โ
"I can't collect 10,000 yuan!" the stall owner looked "embarrassed".
Lin Fengcao unceremoniously nodded to the things on his stall, "Is there anything more expensive in your stall than this box?"
"This brother is choking on his words!" the stall owner frowned.
Yu Yao smiled, "The truth is often not good. โ
"Whew, then you're saying my 10,000 isn't the truth?"
"Okay!" Yu Yao took out his mobile phone, "10,000 is okay, I'll transfer it to you, how about it?"
The stall owner still hesitated, Lin Fengcao put down the box and got up directly. Yu Yao also got up, "My friend is in a hurry, I can leave if I can't do it!"
The stall owner looked at them and smiled, "You said ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท this?"
Lin Fengcao turned around, and Yu Yao also turned around.
"Okay, okay, give it to you! I had too many pressed goods a year ago, and I have to return to my original capital!" the stall owner responded.
At this time, a man and a woman came, both men and women were about forty years old, and after the man squatted down, he picked up the box.
Yu Yao just turned around, and he hadn't swiped the QR code handed by the stall owner.
Yu Yao secretly screamed badly. Lin Fengcao's expression remained unchanged, but one hand couldn't help clenching his fist.
When the two of them turned around, they looked to one side at the same time, but the man and woman quickly came over from the other side.
The stall owner looked at Yu Yao and said to the man, "This gentleman, he has already negotiated the price of this box, and he is about to pay for it." โ
Not to mention that it has already been sold, that is, there is still a chance.
Yu Yao coughed, looking displeased, and said to the stall owner, "How the hell do you get it?"
At this time, the man opened his mouth first, "How much?"
The stall owner arched his hand at Yu Yao before he said to the man, "The price I negotiated with him is 10,000 yuan." โ
Unexpectedly, when the man heard this, he hurriedly put down the box, and walked directly with the woman, muttering as he walked, "Grab money!"
It turned out to be a layman, just casually trying to get started with beauty.
Yu Yao squatted down and picked up the box again, but he didn't transfer it immediately, and checked it in his hand, "People say you robbed money." โ
The stall owner scolded in a low voice, "It turned out to be a mallet!"
"According to the rules, I can't buy this thing at the original price. Yu Yao smiled indifferently, "Don't you let a little?"
"Small business, don't worry about me! Count me as a money obsesser, in this way, if you look at something, I will definitely give the lowest price." โ
In fact, Yu Yao also had a false alarm, stabilized his mind, and listened to what the stall owner said, but smiled. After scanning the QR code, he entered 10,000, "I can't even look at the mallet for the things I bought, so forget about the rest." โ
Yu Yao took the box and left the stall with Lin Fengcao.
"Do you understand the beads in this?" After walking a distance, Lin Fengcao asked in a low voice.
