Chapter Seventy-Three: The Role of Beads

"Now the price of cultural toys is not very high, much worse than antiques, if you talk about the quality alone, if you let me estimate the price, it will be between eight thousand and fifteen thousand......" Playing with Donkey Kong in his hand, Zhao Hongtao gave a price.

"Brother Zhao, this price is much cheaper than that of Old Xingyue?" Hearing the price Zhao Hongtao said, Fang Yi was slightly stunned, he thought that this string could be sold for more than 20,000 yuan.

"The stars and moons are generally one hundred and eight, and that one can be worn not only by men, but also by women......"

Zhao Hongtao opened his mouth and said: "This Donkey Kong is generally worn by men, so it has some limitations, and the number of bracelets is much less than the beads hanging around the neck, which is also a standard for measuring the price......"

"Brother Zhao, I understand......" Hearing the explanation given by Zhao Hongtao, Fang Yi nodded, what Zhao Hongtao said is also true, there are only about a dozen beads in this bracelet, and there are more than a hundred ornaments, and the price cannot be the same.

"Don't worry, you kid, the price I just said is just the price estimated from the perspective of cultural play......"

Zhao Hongtao suddenly laughed, weighed the string of Donkey Kong, and said: "Fang Yi, you don't plan to sell that string of old stars and moons last time, why don't you sell this string of King Kong to me?" I'll give you a price of 30,000, what do you think?"

"Hmm, Brother Zhao, why did it become 30,000 again?" Fang Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Hongtao for some reason.

"Let's talk about whether to sell or not, right?"

Zhao Hongtao picked up Guan Zi, he really liked this string of Donkey Kong bracelets with thick pulp and well-proportioned color, and this string of King Kong itself contains a very comfortable atmosphere, not at all like those objects in Tibet that are full of butter tea.

"Brother Zhao, this string really can't be sold, this is a ...... that the fat man helped to book."

After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "That's it, Brother Zhao, I'll show this string to the person who made the reservation when I go back, if she can't look at it, this string will be regarded as a gift from my junior brother......"

Before, Zhao Hongtao loosened a string of expensive Hainan Huanghuali bracelets to himself, Fang Yi had been thinking about returning some gifts, if it wasn't for the fat man and the third cannon who agreed to that Bai police officer, Fang Yi really planned to give it to Zhao Hongtao.

"Hey, I said that if you kid has good things, you can't think about you Brother Zhao first?"

Zhao Hongtao couldn't help but be depressed when he heard this, he had been studying and playing with beads for more than ten years, and there were very few cultural toys that he could look at, this was finally a string of objects that Fang Yi was willing to sell, but who knew that it was started by others first.

"Brother Zhao, if not, I'll pick one of the things left by the master for you when I go back, what do you think?"

Fang Yi thought for a while, it only took half a day to make a string of old beads by himself, instead of owing Zhao Hongtao this favor, it was better to make a string for him, but Fang Yi still needed to borrow the name of the master.

Not only to give it to Zhao Hongtao, Fang Yi also wanted to give Sun Chao's eldest brother a string, from the last time Sun Chao opened a million price in the hospital, Fang Yi can see that he is also a person who really likes literary play, coupled with Sun Lao's relationship, Fang Yi also needs to express it.

"This ...... That's not right, right? It's all a relic left to you by your master......."

Hearing Fang Yi say this, Zhao Hongtao was a little embarrassed, after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't resist the temptation in his heart, and said at the moment: "Fang Yi, if you are willing to take out your master's things, I will definitely give a high price ......"

"Brother Zhao, if you say money, I won't give it away......"

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "I can't do anything to sell Master's things for money, and I also hope that Brother Zhao will not buy and sell the things I send out, this can be regarded as a small request of mine......"

"Okay, Fang Yi, don't worry, it's absolutely impossible to sell things out when they reach me......" Zhao Hongtao nodded heavily and assured Fang Yi.

"By the way, Fang Yi, what are you going to give me? Why don't we go and see it now?" After seeing two strings of fine products in Fang Yi's hands one after another, Zhao Hongtao was also a little breathless, he wanted to know what kind of collection Fang Yi's master still had?

"Brother Zhao, I'll bring it to you tomorrow......" Fang Yi broke Zhao Hongtao's thoughts in one bite, what are you kidding, the beads he just bought today are all pressed under the pillow, wouldn't he want to show his stuffing when he goes back now.

"Then you can always tell me what I am, right?" Zhao Hongtao is in his forties, and at this time he looks like a curious baby, which shows his obsession with literary play.

People who play cultural games have several stages, the first stage is to take medicine, spend a lot of money to buy worthless things, almost everyone has such an experience, and take more medicine, have experience, you can distinguish the quality of the object, at this time it is considered to be in the door.

There is a saying in the literary play line, that is called a literary play deep like the sea, after entering the door, basically the hand is not separated, in addition to eating and sleeping, the fingers are playing with objects, whether it is acute or chronic, you have to go through this process of watching the objects in your hands slowly grow old.

When you play a few strings of old beads, you will enter the third stage, which is to pursue more exquisite old cultural objects, and it is also a pleasing thing to look at the fine cultural toys that have precipitated the years on the desk every day.

However, just by playing on your own, you can't produce a few things in ten years, so what should you do? Spend money to buy it, which also requires people who enter the third stage to have a certain amount of financial resources, after all, the price of good objects is not comparable to Xinwen To.

Zhao Hongtao is now in the third stage, although he has always been stocked with objects, but whenever he sees some good things, he wants to collect them for his own use, relying on his reputation in the circle and the things he communicates, Zhao Hongtao also has enough financial resources to support him to buy high-quality objects.

"It's also Vajra Bodhi, but it's a little Vajra, a hundred and eight ......"

Seeing that Zhao Hongtao liked King Kong so much, Fang Yi decided to play a string of old King Kong and give it to him, although he bought some things with general materials today, but Fang Yi stayed in the mountains with his master, where to find a literary game made of good materials, so that it could be more real.

Moreover, the material of the game is far less important than the process of the intermediate game in the system of the game itself.

In other words, the good of the general material can also produce high-quality products, on the contrary, it is to give you a string of Huanghuali bracelets that Zhao Hongtao took out before, and people who can't play can also give a black string of waste products.

"Okay, I do like King Kong's ......"

Glancing at the string of Donkey Kong in his hand, Zhao Hongtao reluctantly handed it back to Fang Yi, and said: "Fang Yi, this string of beads is a Buddhist vessel that has been opened, and the price cannot be measured simply by literary play, and the minimum price for takeaway cannot be lower than 30,000 yuan, as for how much you can add, you can control it yourself......"

Although Zhao Hongtao does not buy and sell cultural toys, he usually sells some things to play and play, he knows the prices of various cultural toys well, and knows that if he meets someone who likes and knows how to do it, it is normal for Fang Yi's string of Donkey Kong to sell for 58,000 yuan.

"By the way, if that person doesn't want it, you must bring it back to Brother Zhao......"

Zhao Hongtao added pitifully that among the diamond bracelets he had seen, there was no string that could compare to Shangyi's string in terms of pulp and color change, if it was brought out when peers gathered and communicated, it would definitely be a big show.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhao, I'll give her 50,000 yuan when I go back, if she doesn't buy it, I'll take it back and give it to you......"

Hearing Zhao Hongtao say this, Fang Yi suddenly had an idea in his heart, anyway, he had no friendship with that Bai police officer, and things could be sold to her, but this price must also satisfy himself, whether the other party likes to buy it or not, and he doesn't ask her.

"You kid, this knife is really ruthless......"

Zhao Hongtao laughed when he heard this, modern people have very little understanding of magic weapons, and there are many people who don't even understand that the objects and magic weapons that are opened are actually a thing, if Fang Yi offers a high price of 50,000 yuan, if the buyer doesn't know how to do it, then he really won't want it.

Zhao Hongtao raised his hand and looked at the table below, it was already past ten o'clock, today's class had not yet started, and he said at the moment: "Okay, don't talk about these things, yesterday I told you about some classifications of cultural play, and today I will tell you about the ornaments of cultural play beads, which is also an extremely important part of cultural play......"

Ornaments are often called beads, in the modern people play a game, beads play a basic role in beauty, a string of beads in the match such as coral turquoise heather and other objects, will make the whole beads add a lot of color.

However, in the earliest times, the various kinds of beads played with the beads, but they had their functions, just like the Buddha's head in the beads, representing the merit and wisdom of perfection.

When Buddhists twist and rub the beads, every time they reach the position of the Buddha's head, they have to turn around and start anew, and they can't go over that one to continue, which means that they have cut off all their troubles and become Buddhas, and they have to reverse the Buddha and come back to save all sentient beings.

There are also counters in Tibetan Buddhism, such as the beads in Tibetan Buddhism, which are especially special in that they tie the counter between the beads to count, and move the counter down one bead for each long string of quantities.

When the counter is moved from one end to the other, it is equal to one hundred and eight long beads, and multiplying the two is equivalent to reciting the holy name or sutra 11,664 times, which is a kind of watch used as a tool for ornamentation.

"Buddhism recites Buddhist scriptures, Taoism is Taoist scriptures and mantras, and from this point of view, they are the same......"

After hearing Zhao Hongtao's explanation, Fang Yi nodded, but he recited the Taoist Sutra but saved the trouble of counting, after reciting the Tao Te Ching that he had memorized since he was a child, the one hundred and eight beads were exactly twisted fifty-one times.
