Chapter 857: Tortoiseshell Products

Outside the door stood a sneaky man, in his thirties, bearded, who looked like a man of five or six, with a small box in his arms, peering cautiously into the room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing this person's behavior, Huo Sining subconsciously frowned.

Li Quan next to him was the first to ask, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

The man glanced at Li Quan, and his eyes swept over Huo Sining and Jiang Xiaoqin's bodies again, and then he spoke: "I'm here to sell something." ”

Li Quan was a little surprised, looked at the box in the man's hand, and then said, "I'm sorry, you didn't come at the right time." Our store is under renovation and hasn't opened yet. ”

The man laughed when he heard this: "I know you haven't opened, I'm here to find your boss." ”

This is a bit interesting, this person knows that he has not opened and still enters the door, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he wants to find the boss, and he says that he is here to sell things, which shows that the origin of the things in his hand is worth studying.

Huo Sining looked at the small box in the man's hand and asked with a smile, "Sir, do you have something to sell?"

"There are a few small things, but I don't know if your boss understands it. As he spoke, the man pushed open the door and walked in, placing his box on the counter, but not leaving his hand.

Judging from this person's movements, the contents of this box should not be heavy, otherwise he would not have been able to hold it so easily.

Li Quan was about to refuse, intending to send this person out, but at this time, Huo Sining suddenly glanced at him, smiled faintly at the man, and said:

"Let's see, how do you know if you understand it yet? This is our Boss Li, if you don't mind, sir, can you take out something for us to see?"

When the man heard Huo Sining's words, he was taken aback, and subconsciously raised his head and glanced Li Quan up and down a few times, as if he was very surprised that Li Quan was the boss.

He just looked at it when he entered the door, this store area is more than half a times larger than several antique shops next to it, and the decoration is high-end and extremely high-grade, such a storefront, just the decoration has to cost a lot of money, at a glance you know that it is a big deal.

That's why he hesitated for a moment after seeing someone in the store, and then pushed the door and broke in, just to try his luck.

When he first saw Li Quan, he thought that this person was a guy in the store or something, because Li Quan was young, but he was in his twenties, and such a young man was basically an apprentice in an antique shop, so he didn't associate Li Quan with the boss at all.

To be able to build such a shop with such a large amount of money, he thought that the owner of this store must be forty or fifty years old, wealthy, and have both experience and courage, but now Huo Sining told him that this hairy boy in his twenties is the boss, how can this not be shocking?

But the shock is shock, this person quickly adjusted his mood after being stunned for a few seconds, he came to sell something, this boss is so young, of course he can't ask for it, and immediately laughed flatteringly:

"Boss Li, it turns out that you are the boss, oops, I am clumsy, I didn't see it when I first entered the door, I'm really sorry, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

"You sit down first, Xiaoqin, and go and pour this gentleman a cup of tea. ”

Li Quan smiled, led the man to the sofa on the side of the counter and sat down, and motioned for Jiang Xiaoqin to pour tea.

Huo Sining didn't speak, this was the first guest of the Treasure Pavilion, and she also had the intention of testing, wanting to see how much Li Quan had learned in dealing with people and antique appraisal after this period of study, so she simply didn't interfere with anything and let Li Quan deal with it.

In fact, when this man entered the door, Huo Sining had already guessed in his heart.

Not to mention what the contents of this person's box were, when this man said the sentence "I don't know if your boss understands", Huo Sining heard it tiredly.

When a normal person comes to sell something, he usually asks the boss "whether to accept it", rather than "whether he understands it", but this person said such a thing as soon as he entered the door, and their store was not open at all, and this person also rashly broke in, which shows that this person has turned more than one in this glass factory, and those antique shops have seen his things, either the price is not high, or there is a problem with his things.

That's why this person will settle for the next best thing, and when there is no other choice, with the attitude of trying again, running to their store that has not yet opened.

Thinking of this, Huo Sining also sat down on the sofa next to him, but his eyes did not take his eyes off the man.

Only then did the man open his box and take out the contents.

A round pen holder, a box with a square lid inlaid with a luodian "lotus mandarin duck", and a fan.

On the round pen holder, there is a lotus longevity character pattern, and the octagonal cover box is a complex luodian process, gorgeous and magnificent.

The remaining fan, although not opened, has a translucent waxy grease on the fan bones on the handle.

Huo Sining could see clearly that these three things were all made of one material.

Hawksbill.

"The tortoiseshell is on the foot, and the tortoiseshell is light on the head", the famous Yuefu poem "Peacock Flying Southeast" describes Liu Lanzhi's famous sentence that mentions the tortoiseshell, but there are really not many people who have seen what the tortoiseshell looks like.

The tortoiseshell, also known as the thirteen scales, is an organic gemstone taken from the tortoiseshell's back armor.

In ancient Chinese mythology, the tortoiseshell, also known as Xuanwu, is one of the four sacred beasts in China. The tortoiseshell scales are crystal clear, noble and elegant, and have the reputation of "sea gold" in ancient China, and have been regarded as auspicious things since ancient times.

Because the tortoiseshell carapace has beautiful and colorful patterns, the surface of the carapace is smooth, the pattern shows brown and pale yellow blood color, the objects made of it are dignified and atmospheric, plus the tortoiseshell has been a symbol of auspicious longevity and evil spirits since ancient times, and has won the love of the royal family, the royal family and the nobles of the kings and grandchildren, so it is regarded as a precious gemstone, and is often used to make bracelets, fans, interstitial screens and other handicrafts in the old days.

However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the hawksbill turtle was designated as a national second-class protected animal, and the relevant departments have expressly prohibited the sale and purchase, so almost all the imitations of artificial materials in circulation on the market are made of artificial materials, and the genuine hawksbill turtle handicrafts are almost extinct.

No wonder this man was sneaky when he brought things in, the origin of this thing was a little inappropriate, and it was not easy to determine the age, Huo Sining estimated that those antique shops would not dare to accept it, so this person would break into their shop. (To be continued.) )
