Chapter 005: Beauty Like Jade
"You haven't been here?" Ah San heard Jia Nidao say this, but he looked at Jia Nidao with some curiosity, and muttered, "No, you are from Linhai, how can you not know here?"
Listening to Ah San's tone, it seems that the people of Linhai don't know that this place is like a big crime: "I don't usually come to the old city here, at most I just stroll around the snack street, isn't it, this is the famous antique street?"
"Correct. Ah San snapped his fingers and said, "It seems that you are still very discerning." ”
However, having said that, as far as the scene in front of you is concerned, anyone who comes to it will probably know that this is an antique street, right?
Not to mention that there are stalls on both sides of the street, on which there are a variety of porcelain, coins, etc., that is, these people who come in and out, dressed in simple clothes, carrying a linen bag, or holding a newspaper in their hands to wrap a certain object, it is easy to judge that this place has a lot to do with antiques.
Even if Jia Rudao doesn't pay attention to this line, he knows a little bit.
For example, buying a fake thing is not called buying a fake in the antique world, but "taking medicine" or "hitting the eye", which is occasionally mentioned on TV and in newspapers. Since the beginning of the 21st century, this is an era of national collecting.
A few days ago, Jia Rudao also heard from the little sixth son in the unit that an old antique had been found at home and was going to be sent to the provincial capital to see if it was true. There's a show called 'Treasure Hunting' going on there, CCTV's, and experts are invited to do appraisals there, so Xiao Liuzi wants to try his luck.
However, Jia Yidao also knows that this is an era of national collection, which is true. But again, this is not the best time to do collecting.
Everyone knows the importance of antiques, how can there be a cheap one?
Those newspapers said that an old antique was found at home, worth a million or something, but it was only a very small number of people. As far as these things are placed on the ground of the antique street in front of you, take the copper coins as an example, don't listen to the hawkers blowing the sky, what ancient coins, up to the Zhou Dynasty, down to the Republic of China, whether it is knife-shaped, square or round, but in this world, especially in a place like China, if all are true, they will not appear on the stalls.
As for the enviable stories, such as the fact that so-and-so received a fine porcelain from a peasant for a small amount of money and became rich, it was all in the eighties and nineties of the last century.
Now that information is so advanced, even farmers know the value of antiques, right?
Ah San saw Jia Yidao looking at the many antique relics on the surrounding stalls in a daze, and couldn't help but remind: "I said Brother Jia, don't you want to make a move, right? Let me tell you, 99% of the things on this stall are fake." If you really want to find something good, you should go to the shops in front of you, maybe you can get bigger. ”
"You look at me like this, do you look like you can afford to play with antiques?" Jia Rudao felt a little funny in his heart after hearing this, "I just can guarantee myself three meals alone, and I make people laugh when I say it, and my current salary can't even support a daughter-in-law." ……”
"Don't," Ah San said very optimistically, "Antiques, it's not that whoever has more money can afford it, it depends on your eyesight." …… Forget it, let's not talk about this, if you are really interested in this, I can introduce you to a master. In this line, the water is deep, if there is no one to lead it, make sure that you don't complain after planting a fight. ”
While talking, Ah San took Jia Yidao and walked in a hurry on the antique street, and came to an antique shop.
It is said to be antique, but in fact, the shops on both sides of the antique street are basically like that.
Moreover, only the section where Jia Rudao came over just now, both sides are full of stalls, and there are often very popular people gathered in front of the stalls.
Jia Rudao took a closer look, but found that the original shops here are basically antique businesses, what porcelain, calligraphy and painting, coins, etc., naturally will not let outsiders set up stalls in front of the door, and in the previous period, there are mostly teahouses and restaurants, and there are some stalls in front of the door, not only will not miss the business, but also gather some popularity.
"This is it. Let's go, go in and have a look. Ah San hesitated for a while in front of the store, and finally, as if he had made a decision, he said a word to Jia Yidao. Listening to that tone, Jia Yidao felt that it was not so much about him as it was about Ah San reminding himself to increase his confidence.
Looking up, there was a plaque on the door of the store, with the words 'Zhouji' written on Douda, and there was a small vertical character and a red seal on the side, which Jia Rudao didn't recognize. The door of the store was open, and there were a few customers in the lobby, gathered together, and from the angle from which Jia Yidao was now standing outside the door, it could be seen that several of them should be discussing something.
After following Ah San into the store, he found that on the left side of the store, there was a staircase, one meter wide, wooden, with handrails on the side, leading to the second floor. On the front and to the right, there is a counter, which is full of jade, white, green, and even red, in different colors. At a cursory glance, bracelets are the most, and there are also some more cute hangers, such as jade Guanyin, monkeys and the like.
Behind the front counter, there is a row of wall cabinets, glass doors, and jade objects placed on it are relatively large, such as the jade statue of Guanyin that is more than ten or twenty centimeters high, there are several, shining and lifelike.
After Ah San and Jia Yidao entered the door, no one came to greet them.
Jia Rudao glanced at the counter near the door, on a black swivel chair, sat a middle-aged uncle, with a slightly fat figure, his head blocked by a newspaper, and the cash register was next to it. Jia Rudao estimated that this person should be the owner of this jade shop.
Ah San tugged Jia Nidao's hand and motioned for him to follow.
Instead of walking towards the middle-aged uncle, he leaned over to the front counter, where there were three young men discussing jade with the two sales ladies in the store.
As soon as Meng saw the appearance of the two salesmen, Jia Yidao understood the purpose of Ah San bringing him here.
Just at a glance, these two salesmen left a deep impression on Jia Yidao. One of them has short hair, melon seed face, and two shallow dimples can be seen with a faint smile, and the other is long hair with a shawl, Jia Rudao can only see one side, the curve of the upper body is more prominent, and the whole person gives people a very soft feeling, typical Jiangnan woman's temperament.
Listening to their accents, there is no doubt that the locals in Linhai are there.
Ah San's eyes swirled on the long-haired woman's body, and Jia Rudao was naturally like a mirror in his heart. When he got closer and saw the front of this woman clearly, for a while, Jia Rudao had to admire Ah San's eyes, a very timely word, and it came to mind,—— beauty is like jade!"
