Chapter 11 Buddha Statue Money

"Where did you get this?" Sun Zhongyuan smiled and asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"A while ago, a family moved and collected old furniture together. The stall owner said, "Authentic boxwood, golden, at that time, the family put this golden toad at the foot of a Buddha statue, but the Buddha statue moved away, not for sale!"

The stall owner's words inadvertently reminded Sun Zhongyuan! Buddha statue? This copper coin may not be a "copper" coin!

"Boxwood is true. But I said, you fell just now, you see, rubbed off two small places, the condition is not very good. Sun Zhongyuan took the golden toad and showed it to the stall owner, and he unconsciously let the golden toad face backwards.

In fact, this is purely subconscious, if the stall owner could see it, he would have seen it a long time ago. And the most important thing is that I didn't think of it after receiving it, so I didn't look at it carefully. Generally, this kind of handicraft, even real copper coins are not used, and they are usually molded in batches.

Hearing that Sun Zhongyuan was picking fault with the golden toad, the stall owner was very happy. The so-called applause is an idler, praise and disapproval are buyers, and those who find fault often have the heart to buy.

Only if you want to buy, you will find faults, which is conducive to bargaining. If you directly arch the seller, come to a few words: Good thing, how much money is missing from this thing, don't sell it! That must be a seedling for amusement, and you won't buy it at all.

"That's it, I can't count this thing as a book, a bunch of things are collected together, and if I fall, I really fell, and I'm going to close the stall too. I'll give you a real price, don't cut it, how about one?" the stall owner held out a finger.

The stall owner is honest, sincere, and the asking price is really not expensive. The two small bumps that Sun Zhongyuan said, I can't see it when I go back and hit it with Gaomu sandpaper. It's just a craft, not a real antique.

"Okay!" Sun Zhongyuan didn't have any ink, and took out a 100-yuan ticket.

"I'll find you a locket!" the stall owner churned.

"No need, save you money, just give me a plastic bag. Sun Zhongyuan smiled, this golden toad, he had to pry open its mouth when he turned around.

In the antique market, there are those who sell seal carving knives, the kind of slender knives with oblique mouths, which are very suitable, Sun Zhongyuan spent a few dollars to buy one, found a secluded place, and directly pried out the copper coin intact. Of course, the copper coin is intact, and the golden toad has to be injured a little.

Sure enough, it's a Chunhua ingot!

Looking at the back, there are two erected Buddha statues!

This is not copper money, this is money, Buddha statue money! The so-called seven green and eight yellow, nine purple and ten red, is golden, which contains about seventy percent of gold, and the gold is blue.

I don't know how this Buddha statue money was embedded in this golden toad, and this can't be studied. However, the value of this boxwood golden toad cannot be compared with the money of this Buddha statue.

There are many versions of the Chunhua ingots Buddha statue money, and the most valuable version is cast after Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, conquered Taiyuan, and then enshrined in the Yanjiao Temple of Wutai Mountain.

This effect of money plus Buddha statues caused a sensation, so many powerful people later followed suit and cast a batch of Buddha statues for money.

Very little of the money for the Buddha statues in Wutai Mountain has flowed into the market, and the highest auction price has exceeded more than one million.

However, the one in Sun Zhongyuan's hand is obviously a later imitation version.

Even if it was imitated later, it was a thing of the Northern Song Dynasty after all, and it was also made of gold rather than copper, intact, in good condition, and about 200,000 was worth about 200,000.

Sun Zhongyuan pinched the money and walked out of the Eagle Mountain Antique Market, just across the street from the entrance of the market, he saw several antique shops of considerable scale. Originally, the vicinity of Eagle Mountain was the concentration of cultural industries.

Now steamed and hot, Sun Zhongyuan did not hesitate, and was ready to change the money first. broke the Xiangbao Bureau, couldn't take a million, and touched the pen holder of the Tongzhiguan kiln, which was used to repay the life-saving grace. Now this thing can finally be exchanged for money!

Among them, the largest shop, called Tongkosai, is a small independent three-story building. Sun Zhongyuan made up his mind and walked into Tonggu Zhai.

"Sir, what do you want to see?" a young man in a work suit approached.

Sun Zhongyuan took a look, and the overall decoration was very luxurious. There is a square closed counter in the center, in a circle. It is surrounded by shelves, with a staircase in the back left corner and a small sitting area with sofas and coffee tables in the back right corner. On both sides of the inside of the door, there is a large mountain carved from a single mountain and a tall fortune tree.

"Do you collect things in your store?" asked Sun Zhongyuan.

The guy was a little stunned, "Accept, what kind of treasure did Mr. give?"

"Northern Song Dynasty ancient money. Sun Zhongyuan looked at the sofa in the back right corner.

Unexpectedly, the guy didn't lead him to the reception area, and then asked the shopkeeper to do so, but walked to the counter in the center, and picked up a piece of velvet cloth and spread it on the glass cabinet, "Okay, then Mr. take it out and take a look?"

"Are you the palm eye of the store?" Sun Zhongyuan walked to the man, but did not take out the Buddha statue money.

In large antique shops, there will be palms. This "palm eye" is a verb and a noun in the antique shop, and the verb is naturally the idea in the eye, and the noun is the special appraiser in the shop or auction house pawn shop.

The guy smiled, "We are Tonggu Zhai, the largest antique shop in Nancheng, how can I be qualified to be the palm of my age? ”

This was a bit stingy, but Sun Zhongyuan thought about it, since it was the largest antique shop in Nancheng, this guy should have basic eyesight, so he took out the money of the Buddha statue and put it on the velvet cloth.

This fellow was not a layman, he put on a pair of white gloves, took them and looked at them for a while, and then picked up a magnifying glass.

"Sir, where did you get this ancient coin?" asked the man, putting down the money.

"Rest assured, ancestral stuff. Sun Zhongyuan picked up the boxwood golden toad from the plastic bag and put it on the counter, pointing to the golden toad's mouth, "I just pried it off." ”

Antique shops collect things, it is necessary to ask the way, the way is not right, such as stealing, robbing the tomb, that must not be collected, at least on the surface. Sun Zhongyuan naturally understands this.

The guy nodded, "Buddha statue money, there are too few on the market, and there are too many imitations." I can't see it accurately. ”

"Then you can find the palm eye master!" Sun Zhongyuan said.

"I see, don't you, why don't you go to another house?" the guy looked at him, smiling.

!

Sun Zhongyuan didn't think much about it at first, but now he understands that he doesn't really want to love this kid!

"Are you sure you understand?" Sun Zhongyuan pulled out his cigarette.

"I'm sorry sir, we don't allow smoking in our store!"
