Chapter 536: Treasure Hunt in the Ghost Market (5) (22/60)

Hearing Meng Zitao say that the value of this carving mother can be at least worth more than one million, Zhong Jinxian and Tian Mengmeng were quite surprised, and at the same time gloated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Tian Mengmeng said with a smile: "That guy is also blind, such a treasure is in his hand, and he can't even see it." I guess God can't stand it anymore. ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Is this not it, you look at these copper coins, only one of them is real, and the others are modern handicrafts, not even old." ”

As he spoke, he took out all the copper coins he had just gotten, Zhong Jinxian and Tian Mengmeng looked at it, it was really like this, and they understood it, it was not that the person didn't see it, it was simply that he had already made a preconceived idea that this carving mother was a fake.

"This guy is really shameless, he deserves to be 'treasured'. Although Meng Zitao took advantage, this still made the two of them a little angry.

Meng Zitao smiled: "Don't talk about this, where are we going now?"

Zhong Jinxian said: "Go to breakfast, I was already very hungry just now, so I will take you to a good place, where the breakfast is all authentic and old-fashioned, and the taste is amazing." ”

"So what are you waiting for, let's go. ”

On the way, Meng Zitao received a call from Shu Ze, and after saying that he was going to the breakfast shop, Shu Ze immediately said on the phone that he was also coming.

The place Zhong Jinxian said is a bit far away, and it takes more than ten or nearly twenty minutes to drive.

When I arrived at the place, it was just past seven o'clock, there was already a long queue at the door of the store, only a few steps away, Mencius Tao saw that two large plates of baked cakes were sold out, and the clerk hurriedly asked the diners in the front row to wait for a while, and the diners did not complain patiently, but the people in the back of the queue estimated that they couldn't wait, and muttered and left.

Chung Kam Xian, a regular customer here, said hello to the clerk, who smiled and told them to go upstairs by themselves.

Walking into the store, Meng Zitao found that the store was not large, there were only five or six tables in total, and of course it was already full. followed Zhong Jinxian, who was familiar with the way, upstairs, and saw that the upstairs was divided into two rooms, one room was closed and I didn't know what was inside, and the other room was almost like a private room, but it was relatively simple, but overall it was very clean.

"Zitao, what do you want to eat, do you want me to recommend it?"

"You recommend it. ”

Zhong Jinxian introduced: "The pure baked baked cakes here are very famous, not to be missed, as well as the soup dumplings and fried liver are also very authentic, if you feel that it is not enough, then have a bowl of noodle tea, but the noodle tea is estimated to wait a while." ”

"No problem, let's have something for everything. ”

"Do you want a large or small portion of fried liver and noodle tea?"

"Divide it. ”

"The portions here are generous. Tian Mengmeng reminded.

Zhong Jinxian said with a smile: "Zitao is a martial arts practitioner, and he can probably eat a pig if he is given it." ”

Meng Zitao scolded with a smile: "You treat me as a rice bucket!"

Zhong Jinxian laughed, asked Tian Mengmeng what he wanted to eat, and then went downstairs to order.

When Zhong Jinxian came up, he had a plate of roasted cakes in his hand, followed by a clerk, and in the tray in his hand, there were two bowls of fried liver, a bowl of soup and a bowl of sauce and meat.

Zhong Jinxian sat down in his own place and beckoned: "Zitao, come and try this baked cake with sauce donkey meat, I don't blow it, you can't make such a taste in ordinary places." ”

Meng Zitao followed Zhong Jinxian's steps and served the baked cakes with donkey meat in sauce.

The baked cake is hot and freshly baked, sandwiched with the store's own sauce donkey meat, a bite down, that is called a crispy, the donkey meat inside is just right, tender only the sauce is fragrant, worthy of having the praise of the dragon meat in the sky and the donkey meat in the ground, but this is also a good deal of the store, and if it is not handled well, it is a tyrannical thing.

Two or three bites of a baked cake in the stomach, Meng Zitao did not hesitate to praise, and then under the introduction of Zhong Jinxian, he tasted the bowl of fried liver in front of him.

Stir-fried liver is a traditional food in the capital area. It has the characteristics of bright sauce red soup, fat liver sausage, thick flavor but not greasy, thin but not watery. The fried liver soup here is oily and translucent, and the smooth fat sausages and tender pork liver are evenly dispersed among them, plus the faint garlic aroma, just looking at it can't help but make people salivate.

Meng Zitao savored carefully, the pig intestines were processed just right, the fat was smooth and soft, the pork liver was soft and tender and fragrant, on the whole, it was light and not greasy, mellow and delicious, which made people want to stop eating.

Zhong Jinxian said with a smile: "The fried liver here has always adhered to the traditional production process, and every process is meticulous, so the fried liver made also maintains the highest level in Beijing." ”

Meng Zitao agreed: "Indeed, Aze also took me to a snack bar to eat fried liver, but the standard is indeed worse than here. ”

Zhong Jinxian said: "To be honest, Aze is really not a real gourmet, and the place he is looking for is not the best. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Shu Ze's voice coming from the staircase: "What's the matter, if I'm not there, you will speak ill of me." ”

Zhong Jinxian smiled: "Originally, mine was not wrong." ”

Shu Ze said disdainfully: "Cut, I know all the places you know, but the places you know basically have to be reserved, who will make an appointment in advance for a temporary dinner?"

Zhong Jinxian smiled: "Hey, since you say so, then let's see if you know more or I know more about the name of the store." ”

"I'm too lazy to talk to you. Shu Ze found a place to sit down and looked at the things on the table: "Do you have my share?"

Zhong Jinxian grinned: "Who knows when you will come, order it yourself." ”

Shu Ze glared at Zhong Jinxian, went downstairs to order and brought it up.

After happily finishing breakfast, Shu Ze said to Meng Zitao: "By the way, Zitao, the medicine you prepared for Yuelan has a very good effect, and she said that it is no longer the same as usual." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Let her have a good rest, this is her illusion, how can it be good in one night." ”

"That's what I said. Shu Ze nodded.

Tian Mengmeng interjected: "What the hell is going on with Sister Yuelan?"

Shu Ze shook his head: "Don't ask, it's not convenient to tell you about this." ”

Tian Mengmeng muttered: "What, the gods are chattering, it can't be evil, right?"

Shu Ze and Meng Zitao looked at each other and smiled, sometimes women's intuition is really sharp enough, if according to the traditional saying, this thing is really similar to the evil spirit.

Tian Mengmeng noticed the expressions of the two, and said with some surprise: "It can't really be that I was right." ”

Shu Ze smiled: "You don't care so much, it's not necessarily a good thing to know some things." Anyway, you definitely won't fall for evil. ”

"Forget it. Tian Mengmeng pursed her lips, but in her heart she felt a chill because she thought she had guessed, even if Shu Ze wanted to say it, she didn't want to listen to it.

Shu Ze changed the topic: "By the way, did you have any gains in the morning?"

Zhong Jinxian sighed and said: "Mengmeng and I are unlucky, we don't have much to gain." ”

When Shu Ze heard this, he looked at Meng Zitao: "It seems that Zitao's harvest should be not small, right?"

"It's not that the harvest is not small, but the big sea has gone, and I feel envious and jealous when I think about it!" Next, Zhong Jinxian said what happened just now.

For a wealthy family like Shu Ze, there is no shortage of jadeite, so he is more interested in carving mothers, and after asking Meng Zitao to have a carving mother, he admires it with relish.

"At that time, the carving mother was strictly controlled in the hands of the relevant personnel of the Money Bureau, very little outflow, coupled with the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, after the reopening of several generations of people spared no effort to collect, it is now difficult to find a new door to the generation of the carving mother, and most of the existing carving mother or flow overseas, or donate to major museums. The carving mother left on the market is naturally as rare as a star phoenix, and it is often the object of competition among Tibetan friends. ”

Shu Ze kept admiring the carving mother in his hand with his tools, and kept introducing it in his mouth: "Moreover, this 'Xianfeng ingot' is still a thousand dollars, so it is even more amazing......"

Zhong Jinxian couldn't help but ask, "What do you say?"

Shu Ze played with the carving mother in his hand, and introduced with a smile: "In that year, when five hundred, when a thousand big money, from Xianfeng three years in November, to Xianfeng four years in June, the casting period is only seven months, the market has not seen these two kinds of big money, therefore, these two kinds of big money is likely to stay only in the carving mother stage, not officially cast, do you say precious or not?"

Meng Zitao listened to Shu Ze's introduction and was a little curious: "I know that you don't like to collect ancient springs, why are you so familiar with this money?"

Shu Ze smiled: "When I was in college, my classmates in the same dormitory as me had a five-hundred-dollar carving mother in their hands, and from time to time they showed us treasures, do you say that the memory is not profound? But it's also funny, because he is too high-profile, before graduating from his senior year, his carving mother was stolen, and a big man cried for several days." ”

Zhong Jinxian was surprised: "Isn't it, he brought such a valuable thing to the dormitory?"

Shu Ze said: "No, in his junior year, he got a girlfriend and moved out, if he lost it in school, it would definitely be a big deal." ”

Speaking of this, Shu Ze looked at Meng Zitao with a smile: "Zitao, how about discussing something?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "It's not good, it's not good to see you like this." ”

Shu Ze raised his right hand and swore that "it's a good thing, I swear to God it's really a good thing." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Yes, I also believe that it is a good thing, but it is a good thing for you." ”

Shu Ze smiled and said, "Don't say that, I can forget you even if I get a benefit." ”

"Alright, tell me what's going on. ”

"Didn't I just say that my classmate? Since the carving mother was lost, he has been thinking about it, and vowed to find another one, but you also know that such a carving mother is very rare, and it is difficult to find it even if you have money without fate, so ......"

"You mean to let me transfer this one of mine to him, and what good will I have?" asked Meng Zitao with a smile.

Shu Ze smiled: "The benefits must be indispensable to you, my classmate has a superb pine tea stone inkstone at home, if you agree, I will ask him to transfer that inkstone to you." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and shook his head: "I'm just a million-dollar eagle mother, will he give it to me?"

Songhua inkstone is produced in the Songhua River Basin, is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, so the Songhua stone inkstone is highly respected by the Qing Emperor, and was named the "imperial inkstone" by the Kangxi Emperor, in a period of time only for the palace exclusive, rarely rewarded to the princes and ministers, the folk spread very little.

The structure of Songhua inkstone is solid, the texture is delicate, and it is extremely cold, and the ink storage is not solid. Zhao Puchu once praised: "The color deceives the stone wind and the ripples are green, and the magical Songhua River is cold." It can be seen that everyone's love and respect for Songhua inkstone.

Because the Songhua stone inkstone is related to the Qing imperial family, the value is certainly not low, not to mention that Shu Ze thinks that it is the best, maybe it is used by the emperor, and the inkstone that is touched by the emperor, the market value and collection value are undoubted, so there is Mencius Tao said.

Shu Ze smiled: "Didn't you just get a 'wood kind' square card? My classmate's father likes to harvest high-grade jadeite the most, and it should be almost the same with it." ”

Meng Zitao pointed at himself and said with a smile, "You are stupid for me, take tens of millions of jadeite in exchange?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and after half a ring, Zhong Jinxian came back to his senses, and his expression was full of incredulity: "That piece of jade is worth tens of millions?"

"Of course, didn't you pay attention to the stall before?" said Meng Zitao, taking out the jade square card.

"It's not Meng Meng who keeps me looking at her bracelet...... Before he finished speaking, Zhong Jinxian finally saw the true face of the jade square card in the natural light, and couldn't help but gasp.

Shu Ze couldn't calm down, so he pounced directly, carefully picked up the jadeite, and his eyes were on the jadeite.

Tian Mengmeng also looked at the piece of jade intently, and muttered in her mouth: "Beautiful, it's so beautiful!"

After five or six minutes, Zhong Jinxian saw that Shu Ze still didn't let go, and he couldn't help it: "I said Aze, now is not the time to be alone, can you let us enjoy it too!"

"Wait. ”

After a few minutes passed, Zhong Jinxian shouted: "Let us wait again, we will rob it!"

"What's the hurry!"

Shu Ze raised his head and saw Zhong Jinxian and Tian Mengmeng's fierce eyes, his heart trembled, knowing that if he didn't let go, he would attract the anger of the public, so he had to reluctantly put the jade on the table.

Tian Mengmeng grabbed the jade directly in his hand with lightning speed, which made Shu Ze a little frightened.

"Zitao, you ......"

"What's wrong with me?" Shu Ze's words stopped making Meng Zitao a little strange.

"What else, say you're lucky. Shu Ze said a little dejectedly: "I have to wonder if the god of fortune lives in your house every day." ”

"Then I don't know. Meng Zitao smiled and spread his hands.

"I really want to beat you up!" Shu Ze looked at Meng Zitao's smile and said through some gritted teeth.

"What you said, is there anything wrong with me picking up the leak?"

Shu Ze snorted coldly: "Hmph! Don't talk to me!"

Meng Zitao smiled and didn't say anything more.

Shu Ze adjusted his mood and exclaimed: "Speaking of which, this wood is indeed worthy of being a high-grade jadeite variety, and it can produce such a large piece of exquisite and exquisite material, no wonder it is sought after by so many people now." ”

In fact, the kind of jade has been valued a little late, the main point is that after the 60s, the jadeite material out of the entire Hpakant field area is almost a hundred gambles and losses, and the entrance of the upper and lower Mu Na is full of colored glass, so the entire Southeast Asian jade merchants are eager to wood that kind of jade raw materials, and some ore mouth rough stones imitate Mu Na and Mao Mu Na are flooded.

After the Chinese people began to play jadeite, the wood kind of jadeite began to become famous in China in recent years, and it was also extremely sought after by the mainland market, and the name of Mu Na quickly gained market recognition.

Driven by the market, the wood is even more popular, and the color and the kind of better materials are often priceless, which leads to a phenomenon, Damakan area, Mo Lao Ridge, Xiantong, Mo Dare Changkou, but also for their own material a little cotton and cheers.

Speaking of which, Meng Zitao didn't care much about jadeite because of his ability to identify jadeite and jade raw materials, so he didn't care much about jadeite, but even so, the name of the wood kind was still thunderous.

When he saw this piece of jadeite before, he thought of a sentence on the Internet that described the kind of jade in wood: the sea and the sky are the same color, a little snowflake, chaos is in full bloom, and the wood is supreme.

Previously, Meng Zitao felt that this sentence was too exaggerated, but this piece of beautiful jadeite that people couldn't believe was a genuine piece of wood, but he was completely convinced.

After a while, Zhong Jinxian's eyes moved away from the jade in his hand, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I heard someone say that if you don't understand wood, even if you see it, you will treat it as garbage. At the time, I didn't think so, but now I completely believe that if in the eyes of people who don't know how to do it, this perfect jadeite will definitely be regarded as a modern handicraft like the stall owner. ”

Tian Mengmeng said with an obsessive face: "Hmph! That's blind, I want as many as I want for such beautiful handicrafts! It's a pity, this thing is not mine, woo...... It would be nice to be able to sleep with it every day!"

Tian Mengmeng sighed and shook her head, and then said to Zhong Jinxian: "Zhong Jinxian, let me tell you, if you can't find such a jade in this life, I will definitely not be blind until I die of old age!"

Zhong Jinxian immediately turned into a bitter gourd face: "Meng Meng, you are difficult for a strong man, besides, such a jade, even if I have money, where can I find it?"

Tian Mengmeng wrinkled her nose: "I don't care, you must find it anyway!"

Seeing Zhong Jinxian looking at him, Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Don't beat my idea, I definitely have no intention of selling this jadeite." You ask yourself, will you give it up in other words?"

"Alas......" Everyone was silent, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Everyone is well-educated, and their family backgrounds are among the best in the country, so they quickly adjusted their moods. In addition, the things are still in the hands of Meng Zitao, and if you want to appreciate him in the future, you can just look for him.

Tian Mengmeng asked curiously: "Speaking of which, what kind of jade is this jade according to what you say, is it an old pit glass species?"

"I think it's better than the old pit glass species, I guess it's okay. Zhong Jinxian replied.

Shu Ze laughed: "In fact, according to the industry, when I was identifying, I didn't say what kind of species this was, what kind of seed it was, I don't believe you asked Zitao." ”

Zhong Jinxian was slightly stunned: "Uh...... Zitao, don't you really say it?"

Meng Zitao explained with a smile: "I don't know enough about the jadeite industry, but as far as I know, when connoisseurs see a finished jadeite, they don't determine the value of jadeite based on what kind or color it is. Nor do they say, 'What do you say, what kind do I think?' or 'What do you think this is?' or 'I see what this is, do you think it is the same as mine?' ”

Zhong Jinxian then asked: "How did the connoisseur identify jadeite?"

Meng Zitao said: "In fact, connoisseurs talk about a piece of jadeite is actually very simple, generally from the water, color, shape, size, appearance of several aspects to evaluate, such as about the water, they will say: 'This jadeite jade water head is good, the seed is old; ”

Speaking of this, Meng Zitao pointed to his jadeite and said: "For example, my jadeite, connoisseurs will say: 'This jadeite has good luminosity, the crystallization is really dense enough, and the color is very good, strong enough, bright enough' and other comments. ”

"And if the jadeite is average, they'll say, 'This jadeite is a little lighter, it's a little grayish,' and so on...... In any case, in terms of color, they will consider it in terms of intensity, brightness, positiveness, evenness, and how much......" (To be continued. )
