Chapter 101: Depot 3
He shook the Buddha bead in his hand proudly, and asked with a hint of mischievousness, "Grandpa Song, haven't you noticed any difference in this Buddha bead?"
The eyes fell on the Buddha beads with Jian Er's fingers, this string of Buddha beads should be a commodity in recent decades, and the materials are not expensive, in a word, this is not a valuable thing, as for what Jian Er said? Is there any difference? Don't look at the old man Song has long passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but this look is not much worse than the current young people. After a closer look, I really found the difference between this Buddha bead.
The color of the Buddha bead in Jian Er's hand is lighter than other Buddha beads, and the wood grain is slightly different from other Buddha beads, but if you don't look closely, you can't see it at all. In this way, this Buddha bead should be strung up later, and it is not the original match with other Buddha beads.
"Grandpa Song, can you lend me scissors?" Shaking the beads in her hand, Jian Er spoke.
Taking the scissors handed over by Old Man Song, Jian Er said with a hint of mischievousness: "My yo, can you cut it?"
"This girl, she still sells it to her grandfather, cut it, cut it! Anyway, I'll give it to you, it's your own things that you can do whatever you want. ”
With a "click" sound, Jian Er cut off the string of Buddha beads, then carefully put the beads on the table, and then took the special Buddha beads in her hand, and then pinched another bead casually, and continued to sell to Old Man Song: "Grandpa Song, please stretch out your two hands." ”
Looking at Jian Er's naughty face, Old Man Song couldn't help laughing, this girl is so mysterious, but she still stretched out her two hands according to Jian Er's request.
"Hehe, do you feel it, what is the difference between the two beads?" As soon as the hand was released, two different beads fell on the palm of Old Man Song's hand.
When the beads are strung together, they can't be felt when they are picked up, but now that they are separated, Old Man Song immediately showed the difference between the two. Don't underestimate these people who can be said to have been fighting all their lives in antiques, they have a pretty accurate grasp of the catties on their hands, because many materials can only be known what they are made of, different things, different feels. In many cases, the only way to distinguish between the real and the fake is by one's own eyes and hands.
Don't look at the many things auctioned over the years, it looks booming, but except for some relatively large auctions, those small auctions are almost inconspicuous in the eyes of real insiders, and usually the total income from these small auctions every year is less than a fraction of the private transactions of real insiders. Moreover, some real masterpieces, treasures insiders are generally privately traded, and sometimes a collection may exceed all the income of a small auction.
And what is this kind of private dealing? It's not my own eyesight. See, nose, touch, hear. Even if there is a link missing, you can take medicine. Now don't say anything else, just say this hand touch, this is not a simple job, not like ordinary people with their hands casually touch so simple, the thickness of the texture, the warmth, and then use the hand to pick it, sometimes two things of the same weight, these older generation of collectors can make a difference, saying that it is one of the floating, a real, I really don't know how they came out. Ask, the answer is usually that this feeling can only be understood, not expressed.
There is no carbon 14 in private transactions, and there is no identification certificate. This is a sentence on the lips of the older generation of collectors, especially now that the means of counterfeiting are becoming more and more difficult to detect, sometimes the detection results of the machine are not necessarily accurate, but for the old insects in the antique shop, their hands, eyes, and ears are far more effective than the cold machine qì. As an old insect in the industry, although he doesn't dare to compare with the old man Tang who has a unique ability, but the old man Song's hands are also among the best in the industry. Such an obvious contrast, the old man saw it at once.
Suspiciously, he put the beads in front of his eyes and looked at them carefully, the color of the log, put it under his nose and smelled it, faint, almost inaudible faint wood fragrance, the surface of the beads was not very smooth, and there were even hidden knife marks in some places. In addition to being lighter than the ordinary wood, Old Man Song really didn't notice any difference, and with this rough handwork, it really looked like a promiscuous commodity in this Buddha bead.
"Girl, don't worry about it, tell me, what's the difference?" After watching it for a long time, he really couldn't see any way, so Old Man Song decided to ask directly.
"Hey, hey!" Jane smirked and made a classic gesture, "Here's the moment to witness the miracle!"
"Grandpa Song, please bring a basin of water. Jian Er didn't say it badly, but wanted to scare Old Man Song, you must know that if she hadn't seen Lu Zong once and listened to him talk carefully, Jian Er wouldn't have discovered the mystery.
A basin of water was brought over, and Jian Er rolled up her sleeves: "Grandpa Song, you can take a good look!"
Jian'er held the bead in both hands and gently lowered it into the water.
When Jian'er's hands slowly opened from both sides and pulled out the water, the bead just floated quietly on the surface of the water at first, and the water slowly soaked into the bead, and after a while, the holes in the beads slowly bubbled out one by one, and then the bubbles bubbled more and more, if it weren't for the fact that the water didn't emit any temperature, Old Man Song thought that the water was already boiling.
There were more and more bubbles, and they exploded one after another like boiling water bubbles, this force pushed the beads in the water to rotate in the bubbles, looking at this qiē, the old man Song couldn't help but open his mouth wide, but what happened next made the old man think that he was dazzled.
It turned out that these bubbles pushed the beads to start swimming in the water, and a magical circle appeared at the bottom of the pot.
In Ling Lingbo's light, two faint slender figures suddenly appeared, and as the beads turned faster and faster, this figure slowly became clearer.
"The head is like a camel, the horns are like a deer, the eyes are like a rabbit, the ears are like a cow, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a mirage, the scales are like a carp, the claws are like an eagle, and the palm is like a tiger. It has eighty-one scales on its back, with nine or nine yang numbers. Its sound is like a copper plate. There is a beard next to the mouth, a pearl under the chin, and an inverted scale under the throat. There is Boshan on the head, also known as the ruler wood, and the dragon cannot ascend to heaven without the ruler wood. It can turn into water and fire. A series of dream-like words came out of Old Man Song's mouth, "Dragon! It's actually a dragon!"
The old man looked at this qiē blankly, and then stretched out his hand and twisted it: "It doesn't hurt, I'm really dreaming." ”
"Of course your old man doesn't hurt anymore, you're screwed like my flesh at all!" baring her teeth, Jian Er rubbed her sore arm with tears in her eyes, this old man's hand strength is really not small, and it hurts her to death!
Old Man Song's reaction, he just looked at his hand blankly, and then twisted his face hard, Jian Er looked at the twisted angle and felt pain for him. This old man is good, but he still smiled stupidly: "It really hurts! It turns out that I really wasn't dreaming!"
Then, Old Man Song ignored Jian Er anymore, put the objects he was playing with in his pants, and pounced on his old face to poke into the basin. While watching, "tsk" was amazed.
The double dragon in the water chased the beads and swam happily, the light and shadow were vertical and horizontal, the dragon soared on the water, and the two dragons intersected head and tail, competing for play. After a while, the beads seemed to be full of water, swirling and slowly sinking to the bottom of the water, the two long dragons sometimes circled, sometimes-for-tat, the agile figure, the mighty image people couldn't help but look dumbfounded.
It wasn't until the beads stopped at the bottom of the water and slowly stopped spinning that the figures of the two dragons slowly faded away in the water.
"Whew~" Old Man Song exhaled a breath of air that he had been holding back for a long time, and looked at the bead lying quietly at the bottom of the water with wide eyes and incredulity, as if the bead could grow another flower. After a while, Old Man Song finally raised his head, slowly turned his head to Jian'er, opened his mouth, stretched out his tongue to moisten his lips slightly, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Girl, this, this is what you already knew?"
"Hehe" smiled, and Jian Er didn't answer.
How did you find it in this large pile of things? You must know that if Jian Er didn't bring it up separately and looked at it carefully, she really couldn't pick it out of the string of Buddha beads. Old Man Song wanted to ask this question, but finally didn't ask it. Because this may involve other people's secret skills, not to mention other trades, this is a big taboo in the antique shop, just like the ancient thief. So despite being very curious, I can only endure it.
In fact, Old Man Song would not care if Jian Er asked it, because there was no trick at all, so he could only rely on being careful and smelling.
Jian Er had seen this thing in Lu Zongna before, and Lu Zongna had an even more amazing one. The reason why Lu Zong showed Jian'er this thing was because when he taught Jian'er to appreciate it, he said that this was a rare carving technique at that time, because the wood required for this kind of carving was not produced in the Central Plains, and it was all brought with the sea ship, and this kind of carving had higher requirements for craftsmen, so it was very small in the world, and it was a treasure at that time.
But this wood has two special features for people to distinguish, one is that the wood fragrance of this wood is very light, almost inaudible, but this fragrance is condensed but not dispersed, as long as it is a little farther away, it will not be smelled at all, and the other is that it is much lighter than other wood, and there are many very small holes in the wood, when this wood falls into the water, the gas contained in it will be released, driving the wood itself to roll in the water, and will absorb water and sink to the bottom of the water, but once picked up from the water, the water in the wood will quickly flow out of it, and the wood will return to a dry state。
Moreover, the texture of these woods is very peculiar, as long as it is handled well, different images will be reflected in the waves, and the changes are myriad, which is very magical. The one in Lu Zong's hand can reflect the peach feast, which is really beautiful. Therefore, when Jian Er sees this Buddha bead that can reflect the double dragon play bead, she will not feel so magical.
Carefully picking up the beads from the water, Old Man Song put it in the flannel cloth and blotted up the water, with a hint of reluctance, but very firmly handed it to Jian'er. RS
