★★ Hand hit ★шшш.. ★

Balang Street is a must-visit place for all people who come to Lhasa, it is very prosperous, and the shops here are naturally every inch of land. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng Hua brought Zhuang Rui to this handicraft shop, which is not very big, only about ten square meters, and the goods placed in it are also the most common handicrafts, and the only thing that is distinctive is that the boss is a foreigner.

To be precise, the owner here is a foreign girl, not very old, with a few freckles on her fair face, a twisted braid, and is using English and gesturing to bargain with the guests.

"Brother Zheng, there shouldn't be any old objects here, let's go to some shops opened by locals......"

Zhuang Rui glanced at the goods placed at the door of the store, those hada tied together, and some thangka small Tibetan knives and other objects, which were obviously made by modern technology, and there was not much to look at.

Of the ten customers who were wandering around the shop, one of them was attracted by the proprietress to it.

"Hello Thunder, please come in ......"

The foreign girl saw Zhuang Rui and his party standing at the door, and hurriedly came out to say hello, although the Chinese language was not very authentic, but the enthusiasm on her face was not pretended.

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, this foreign girl is so enthusiastic, turning her face and leaving is too inconsistent with the hospitality of the Chinese people, Zhuang Rui and others can only walk into the store, thinking about going around and going out.

Although Gegu Lama and Section Chief Zhang did not follow up, but the place was not big, after Zhuang Rui and the three of them entered, they still felt a little crowded, and there were people waiting in line at the door to pay, and a seventeen-year-old Tibetan girl was collecting money.

However, as soon as the white lion entered the store, he frightened those foreign tourists a lot, and they all hid on both sides, but gave up a large area for Zhuang Rui and others.

"Go inside and see ......"

Zhuang Rui saw that on the innermost row of shelves, there were a lot of objects that seemed to be a little old, so he hurriedly greeted Zheng Hua and walked over.

"Hey, it's pretty good here......"

Zhuang Rui picked up an ornament made of Tibetan silver, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Brother Zhuang, what's wrong? Didn't you say that these are all modern crafts?"

Zheng Hua, who was following Zhuang Rui, asked, and also pretended to take a string of Tibetan silver necklaces from the shelf and looked at it.

Zhuang Rui shook his head and said, "It's different, Brother Zheng, you go to set up this boss's words, and ask her where these things come from......"

Zhuang Rui hasn't seen other objects yet, but the thirty or forty pieces of Tibetan silver jewelry placed here are real old Tibetan silver, at least more than a hundred years old, which can be regarded as antiques.

"Okay, I'll ask ......"

Zheng Hua walked directly to the door and chatted with the foreign girl in English.

Zhuang Rui turned his head and said to Peng Fei: "Peng Fei, this thing is good, they are all old Tibetan silver, you can pick some for your daughter-in-law to bring......"

In the words of the Tibetans, Tibetan silver is actually white copper, the silver content in it is very small, the proportion of silver in the old Tibetan silver is generally 30% silver plus 70% copper, and modern imitations, even the 30% of the silver has been removed, the whole is made of white copper.

The source of Tibetan silver jewelry is due to the fact that before the liberation, ** was very poor and backward, the amount of silver was very scarce, in order to avoid alkaline corrosion, the silver was added to other metals, and it became a process after a long time.

Sterling silver jewelry is more exquisite, and the inlaid stones are mostly real turquoise, red coral, etc., the quality of the stone is better, its brightness is stronger than Tibetan silver, Tibetan silver is more simple and primitive in comparison.

The sterling silver jewelry made by modern technology is more expensive than the Tibetan silver, but the old Tibetan silver jewelry is precious and rare, and the market can rarely see it.

Like the ornaments that Zhuang Rui saw, there is a faint white aura in them, that is to say, these Tibetan silver jewelry should be made in accordance with traditional craftsmanship and have a certain value.

"Brother, I asked ...... clearly"

When Zhuang Rui was picking out these Tibetan silver jewelry, Zheng Hua squeezed back and said: "That foreign girl is British, because she likes ** this place, after traveling here, she is reluctant to go back, and opened such a shop......"

"Brother Zheng, I didn't let you go to pick up girls, why are you talking to me about this?"

Zhuang Rui interrupted Zheng Hua's words with a smile and a smile, which nationality this foreign girl is, and it has nothing to do with Zhuang Rui.

However, the character of these foreigners makes Zhuang Rui difficult to understand, when he comes to a strange place, he feels good and is reluctant to leave, which is very different from the careful thinking of Chinese people who are difficult to leave their homeland, at least Zhuang Rui can't do this kind of thing.

Zheng Hua was a little embarrassed by what Zhuang Rui said, and replied with a smile: "Brother, you are too underestimated of your brother's vision, ......right?

Zheng Hua really didn't brag, with the influence of the Zheng family in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, it is not impossible to find a distant princess with a little royal blood.

"Alright, don't get scared, tell me where these things come from......"

Zheng Hua does not have the arrogance of those "masters" in Sijiu City, and he has dated Zhuang Rui a few times, and the relationship between the two is not bad, but Zhuang Rui speaks more casually.

"Well, all the things on this shelf were collected by the foreign girl from the herdsmen and monasteries in the Tibetan area, and she often went back to the pastoral area to deal with the Tibetan people......

Zheng Hua's words made Zhuang Rui relieved, no wonder there are so many old objects, when Zhuang Rui used to chat with Renqing Cuomu, I heard him mention that when the ** girl got married, she was going to marry many exaggerated gold, silver, beads and jade jewelry.

In this way, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and many Tibetans will have some items such as ornaments made of Tibetan silver in their homes.

"Hello Lei, what do you want to buy?

Zhuang Rui was talking to Zheng Hua, and the foreign proprietress didn't know when she came over, and she was not afraid of the white lion beside Zhuang Rui, so she took the initiative to come forward and say hello.

"Let's ...... in English"

Zhuang Rui saw that the proprietress was struggling to speak Chinese, and said in English: "I like these things very much, how much does it cost?"

"All of them?" exclaimed the foreign girl in surprise.

You know, there are thirty or forty pieces of Tibetan silver ornaments on the shelf, plus a few thangkas, turquoise, and ashtrays made of yak bones, there are always sixty or seventy handicrafts in seventy, seven, eighty, eight.

"Yes, it's all ......"

Zhuang Rui nodded, now it is more difficult to buy handicrafts made by pure Tibetans, like the handicrafts placed on the rest of the shelves, ten of them came from Yiwu, Zhejiang, and the small commodity wholesale market on the East Road of Lhasa City, there are a lot of such things.

Could it be that seeing so many old handicrafts, with this opportunity, of course Zhuang Rui has to buy them all, and it is not bad to take them back and give them away, saying that the people who live in his courtyard now can digest more than half of them.

"Oh, you're so generous, I'm going to calculate ......"

The foreign proprietress was pleasantly surprised, ran to the door and took the calculator in her hand, calculating with words in her mouth, and her eyes looked at the things on the shelf from time to time.

In fact, these are all made for Zhuang Rui and others to see, the proprietress went to the herdsmen's house in the Tibetan area last month to receive these things, and it cost more than 9,000 RMB, which will be the thing that the proprietress is thinking about, whether to add a zero to the back of the 9,000, or sell it to Zhuang Rui and others?

"Well, it's 80,000 dollars, of course, RBM. ”

After thinking about it, the proprietress gave the price, these ornaments and handicrafts, she sold them for almost 5oo yuan a piece, but there were not many people who bought them, and they had been collected for more than a month, but they sold a few pieces.

Now Zhuang Rui wants to pack, and the proprietress simply doubles the retail price and offers this price, who says that foreigners can't do business?

"Oh, no, beautiful young lady, you don't look like a Jew, are you......?

Zhuang Rui shook his head, these Tibetan silver ornaments are normally three or four hundred yuan each, and the rest of the handicrafts are also in the price range of a few hundred yuan, seventy or eighty things, at most only worth thirty or fifty thousand yuan, this foreign girl is a lion's mouth.

"40,000, I can give up to 40,000 RMB......"

Zhuang Rui stretched out four fingers, although he is rich, but he is not Kaizi, these days, a fool will use a lot of money to show his wealth.

"Forty thousand, oh, no, you can't buy these things......"

The English girl, who is a little more Jewish, is clearly good at bargaining with China, especially if the other party understands English.

"Bang dang!"

Just when Zhuang Rui was about to let this foreign girl understand the level of the Chinese man's bargain, something suddenly fell from the shelf, and after falling to the ground, there was a crisp sound.

"Uh, you go on, I'm flipping through the ......"

Peng Fei bent down and picked up the thing, which was placed in the middle of several old Hada, and he accidentally knocked it to the ground while rummaging with Hada.

The proprietress obviously didn't notice that Zhuang Rui's eyes had been attracted by the objects in Peng Fei's hand, and she was still chattering there: "This gentleman, the things I have here are all very pure handicrafts, which are different from those sold outside, you know, if it is in the UK, these things will be more expensive......

"50,000, all, any more, I will go to the Tibetan house to collect ......"

Zhuang Rui retracted his eyes and stretched out a slap, his gaze was very firm, although he knew that even if this foreign girl asked for 1o thousand, he would pay obediently.

"Okay, deal!"

The foreign proprietress is obviously well versed in the way of doing business in China, and knows the truth of moderation, and after making eye contact with Zhuang Rui, she readily agreed.

Chapter 725: Buddha Vessels (II)

"This bag is given to you, and I will come back when I have time......"

The foreign proprietress knows how to take advantage of the customer, so as to cultivate repeat customers, and after Zhuang Rui swiped the card to pay the bill, she handed Zhuang Rui a travel bag made of canvas.

"Thank you......"

Zhuang Rui walked to the shelves with the bag, threw it to Peng Fei casually, and said: "Pack them up, Brother Zheng, if you have any objects you like, pick them up at will, take them back and give them away, well, this thing is an exception......"

While talking, Zhuang Rui took the thing that Peng Fei had just picked up in his hand and held it in his hand, and his eyes looked at it without blinking, for fear that he would break something just now.

"Brother Zhuang, this prayer wheel is very valuable, right?"

After Zheng Hua saw Zhuang Rui's actions, he seemed to understand something, and he also came to Zhuang Rui's side and looked at the prayer wheel in Zhuang Rui's hand.

That's right, what fell to the ground just now was a small prayer wheel in hand, the body of the wheel was brass, and the wooden handle below looked black and slightly purple, and it was covered with dust, which looked like it had not been used for a long time.

"Hehe, this is not a question of whether it is worth a lot of money, you can't buy it with money, this prayer wheel still needs to be verified, but there should be at least more than a thousand years of ...... so far"

Zhuang Rui looked at the prayer wheel with only seven verses on it, and a strange look shot out of his eyes.

Because just now, when this prayer wheel fell to the ground and was picked up by Peng Fei, Zhuang Rui inadvertently saw that this prayer wheel actually contained a wealth of wishing power.

And these wishes are completely different from those wishes produced by the lamas' chanting, condensed in the prayer wheel, and the color is also purple and gold, when Zhuang Rui's aura comes into contact with these wishes, there is immediately an ethereal and peaceful feeling in his heart.

"The Buddha artifact must have been used by a certain eminent monk, maybe it was used by those legendary figures......

Zhuang Rui was overjoyed in his heart, and handed over this prayer wheel to Qin Xuanbing, believing that the power of desire in it would be beneficial to his daughter-in-law and his own children who did not know men and women, at least it could make people's hearts quiet.

"Brother Zhuang, I heard that this prayer wheel doesn't have as many verses on it as possible?

Zheng Hua came to observe for a while, and raised his own questions, this thing seems to be nothing special except for the more exquisite production.

And there are only seven lines of scripture on it, each line of scripture is seven words, and the scriptures that Zheng Hua saw on other prayer wheels are dozens or even hundreds of times that of this prayer wheel, so he is a little unimpressed.

"Brother Zheng, this thing is not ordinary......

Zhuang Rui smiled proudly, like a child who had gotten a toy he had liked for a long time.

"Peng Fei, give me mineral water......"

Zhuang Rui asked Peng Fei for a bottle of mineral water, and then took out a pair of glasses from his handbag, which was a pair of sunglasses that Qin Xuanbing bought for Zhuang Rui because he was afraid that he would be irradiated by too high ultraviolet rays.

Taking out the glasses cloth in the glasses case, Zhuang Rui poured a little water on it, and then wiped it against the slightly dull body of the prayer wheel.

"This ...... How did this change color?"

With the color of Zhuang Rui's wiped wheel, the people around Zhuang Rui were all taken aback, and even Peng Fei, who was stuffing things into his bag, stopped his hand and looked at the prayer wheel blankly.

The original yellow, dull color of the wheel, after Zhuang Rui's wiping, showed a golden brilliance, the outside of the house through the glass window shining on the prayer wheel, shining brightly, dazzling.

"It's not brass, it's gold!" Peng Fei said in a deep voice.

Peng Fei, who had carried several tons of gold with Zhuang Rui, recognized it at a glance, and the prayer wheel of this prayer wheel was made of gold.

"Gold?!"

Zheng Hua exclaimed, he is also a knowledgeable person, such a little gold is not in his eyes, but the meaning behind this is great, in this place, what kind of identity will it be if you can use gold to make prayer wheels.

"That's right, it's gold, hehe, I found a treasure......"

Zhuang Rui smiled and nodded, and after wiping the wooden handle under it, he said: "Not only is the prayer wheel made of gold, but the handle below is also a good rosewood, and this prayer wheel is likely to be a ...... left over from the Sui and Tang dynasties" (according to personal research, the Tang Dynasty had red sandalwood, uh, wild history, wild history)

Before Zhuang Rui's words fell, there was a burst of inhalation in the store, if this prayer wheel was really something from the Sui and Tang dynasties, it might even be used by the Buddha.

You must know that among the monks who entered in the Sui and Tang dynasties, many of them have been rumored to have become Buddhas, and many Buddhist characters on the thangka are based on the monks at that time.

"Brother, sell me this thing, I'll pay 10 million Hong Kong dollars, no...... I'll give 20 million!"

Zheng Hua knew Zhuang Rui's attainments in antique appraisal, and since he said it in public, then this prayer wheel was an item from the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the price was set at the moment.

Zheng Hua himself is not a believer in Tibetan Buddhism, but his grandfather is, the old man believes in Buddhism, very pious, and there are dozens of Buddhist vessels at home that invite the living Buddha monks to consecrate.

As far as Zheng Hua knows, over the years, the family has spent hundreds of millions of incense money, and the old man must be happy to spend 20 million to buy this object.

"Oh my gosh, that thing turned out to be gold?!"

Before Zhuang Rui could reply, an exclamation from the foreign proprietress immediately attracted everyone's attention.

It's not that the proprietress realized it later, but because she couldn't understand Chinese, she was just told by the little girl who collected the money.

"This is already mine......"

Zhuang Rui shook the prayer wheel in his hand at the proprietress, if it weren't for the lack of clothes in summer, Zhuang Rui would have been eager to carry it into his arms.

"Well, of course, it's already yours......"

Although the proprietress doesn't know what it means to "go to the treasure" (that is, if you sell it at a loss, sell it worth hundreds of thousands or even more expensive, and the buyer will "pick it up"), but she also knows that I am afraid that this prayer wheel alone will not only be the 50,000 yuan she gets, but she is a little lost.

"Peng Fei, hurry up, ......"

Zhuang Rui saw that Peng Fei was also just looking at this prayer wheel, and hurriedly kicked him gently, this thing is not an ordinary object, it is true to take it back and put it away as soon as possible.

"Zhuang Jushi, can you show me your prayer wheel?"

I heard that Zhuang Rui took out a prayer wheel in the store, and Gegu Lama and Section Chief Zhang, who were originally basking in the sun outside, poured into the store, and Gegu even reached out to Zhuang Rui to ask for it, wanting to see this prayer wheel.

"Yes, Master Gegu, you can help me see what scriptures are on it......"

Zhuang Rui also looked at the text on this prayer wheel just now, but it seemed to be more complicated than the oracle bone inscription and inscription, just when Gegu came in and asked him to identify it, if he knew what the scripture was, and then checked the description, maybe he would be able to know the origin of this prayer wheel.

"Zhuang Jushi, right...... I'm sorry, I don't know the words on it either, it's supposed to be Sanskrit in ancient India, not Tibetan......"

Lama Gegu took the prayer wheel and studied it carefully for a while, and returned the prayer wheel to Zhuang Rui with some shame, he had not gone to a Buddhist college, and he was not very proficient in Buddhist writing, but he seemed to have seen similar words in some classics.

After returning the prayer wheel to Zhuang Rui, Gegu still stared at the prayer wheel with his eyes, and said in his mouth: "Zhuang Jushi, I can feel that this prayer wheel must be the treasure of our Buddhism, and I can ask the great lama in the temple to help you answer the ...... of these scriptures."

Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, and said: "Hehe, thank you Master Gegu, no need, I will take this prayer wheel back and study it slowly, my teacher is the ...... who studies words."

Of course, buddy knows that this thing is the treasure of Buddhism, but if you take it back to your Jokhang Temple, then I'm afraid there will be nothing to do buddy.

In Zhuang Rui's view, this object is like a Buddhist relic, if anyone gets it, is it possible that they still want to keep it for themselves? If that is the case, I am afraid that the monks all over the world will have to fight with themselves.

"Zhuang Jushi, I will be able to ask the Grand Lama to help you answer the question soon......

Lama Gegu still doesn't give up, although he is only a law enforcement lama, but he can also see that this prayer wheel made of gold is definitely a Buddhist magic weapon.

"Uh, I really don't need to, Peng Fei, can't you hurry up? I'm tired, I'm going back to rest......"

Zhuang Rui stuffed the prayer wheel into the handbag, but the handbag was not big enough, and immediately reminded Peng Fei that if he stayed any longer, he might be blocked here by the lamas.

"This layman, can you show me the prayer wheel in your hand?"

Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded from behind Gegu, because Gegu Lama was tall, completely blocking the person behind him, Zhuang Rui could only hear that the person who spoke should not be very old.

"Okay, you can come and get it......"

As long as you don't go to the Jokhang Temple, Zhuang Rui is not afraid, in broad daylight in this store, is it possible that someone still dares to rob it?

"Thank you!"

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, a little lama who was not tall and looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, walked out from behind Lama Gegu.

The little lama came to Zhuang Rui, first folded his hands, and bowed to Zhuang Rui before taking the prayer wheel.
