Chapter 1380: Silverware

Although the vast majority of them are modern handicrafts, but because of the large number, so it is not excluded to meet the good things of the baby, Zhang Tianyuan has always been very confident in his luck anyway, in those Hada, Thangka, Tibetan knife, prayer wheel, Buddha beads, may not be able to find one or two things they want.

Even if it is not a true work of enlightenment, as long as the thing is a good thing, then it will do.

"Hello, it's a tourist from the mainland, right?"

The female manager has a very warm attitude and speaks Mandarin quite standardly, so as long as you are not deaf, you can understand what she means.

"Well, we are tourists from the mainland, and we want to bring a few souvenirs when we go back. ”

"Ah, these two girls have just been here, and they must have taken a fancy to the object they like, so let's go to my husband, you point it out, and I'll take you to get it." "The female manager's memory is not bad, and Liu Mengxun is indeed too attention-grabbing, so after coming once, she wrote it down.

"Not for the time being, let's go and have a look first, and then we'll talk about it when we find the right thing. Zhang Tianyuan wants to choose by himself, after all, he is an insider, and he is unwilling to listen to other people's recommendations, and he may not be able to see what others recommend.

"That's okay, a few people can watch it casually, you're welcome. "This shop feels like a supermarket, there are not many waiters, but there should be surveillance inside, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid petty theft.

Baili Night Cry wanted to drill out to see, but was stopped by Zhang Tianyuan, and he could figure it out with his ass, if Baili Night Cry came out, it would definitely attract everyone's onlookers. When the time comes, let alone look at things, it is estimated that it will be difficult to walk around. I couldn't move my feet.

This place is not small, but there are many people. If you are really in the way, you can only leave. Fortunately, Baili Night Cry is more obedient, although it seems a little aggrieved, but he still retracted his head and went to sleep, this little guy goes to sleep when he is fine, mainly when he sleeps, he doesn't have to think about other things, otherwise he will probably get depression.

"Do you have anything that is old here, it's nothing more expensive, the main thing is really good. "Buy things for my wife. Zhang Tianyuan generally doesn't care about the price, otherwise it would be a little too stingy.

I'd rather pick the door for myself a little bit, but also be good to my wife, this is his principle of being a man, and it's no wonder that Liu Mengxun will die for him.

"Yes, a few of you are here. ”

The female manager took Zhang Tianyuan and others all the way inside, there was a glass cabinet inside, which was anti-theft, and it was much better protected than those things outside. But the price is not cheap. Zhang Tianyuan took a look at it, the things are really quite good, I can't help but praise it, this store is really big and has the advantage of being big. At the very least, there are a lot of good things, and they are genuine.

"Well, sir, we have good things here, aren't they? These are fine Tibetan silver ornaments. In the past, the older generation was very fond of wearing them, but now they are basically made of sterling silver. The silver gradually disappeared. The main thing is that the purity is not high enough, but I still think that Tibetan silver is better than sterling silver. It's a little more quaint. There are also those Buddha beads over there, which were collected from the old herdsman's house, by the way, and those prayer wheels, all of which have a certain history, and our boss is a local nobleman, so it is very easy to get these things, if you like them, you can give them a little cheaper, and the things must be good things. ”

"Oh, so your boss is really a big guy?"

"That's not it, our boss has a very good relationship with the living Buddha of Daqing Temple, and he is even closer to the wise man Zhuo Lin in the south. In the past, in order to survive, many herdsmen took them out and sold them and exchanged them for food, and the elders of our boss spent a lot of food in exchange for them, which are all recorded and cannot be faked. The female manager said proudly.

"Well, I know, you go get busy first, I'll greet you if there's anything, can you take a look first?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.

"Okay, take your time, there's a guest over there, I'll go over and say hello. The female manager naturally knew what Zhang Tianyuan meant by opening her, it was a matter of discussing the price or whether to buy it or not, and it was not good to be there by herself.

"Husband, do you know this woman, why is she so partial, she didn't bring me here to see when I first came, and she brought you here when you came. Liu Mengxun stared at Zhang Tianyuan and asked.

"Conscience of heaven and earth, I have never seen this woman. Zhang Tianyuan smiled bitterly.

"I'm kidding you, you're serious. Husband, do you think these silverware are very good? Why don't I think it's good, I'm also in the jewelry business, and I can see that these silverware are not very good silver at all. Liu Mengxun stuck out his tongue and said.

"I'm scared to death, don't make jokes like this in the future, I'll be scared out of my nerve by you. Zhang Tianyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, this girl, she really dares to make any joke.

"Oh, everyone has apologized, why are you still like this. Liu Mengxun shook Zhang Tianyuan's arm and said, "My good husband, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't be joking, don't be angry." ”

"I'm not angry. Rest assured. Actually, you're right, these silverware are not good things if analyzed purely from the perspective of silverware, after all, their silver content is a bit too low. Zhang Tianyuan smiled and explained, "Have you ever heard of Tibetan silver?"

"No, what's that?"

"Tibetan silver is actually the name of a metal, it is an alloy. Tibetan silver is white copper, that is, the elegant name for copper-nickel alloy, and the traditional Tibetan silver is 30% silver plus 70% copper. Because the silver content is still too low, so now the market is no longer visible, the silver content of Tibetan silver is relatively low, the key is because before the founding of the People's Republic of China, silver here is relatively rare, there is no way to get so much silver, can only do this. ”

"It's only 30% silver, no wonder I don't look very good, but husband, you seem to be quite interested in this?" asked Liu Mengxun suspiciously.

"You can't say that Mengmeng, that the ceramics are still fired out of clay, how can they be so valuable? Some things, not to say that the high silver content is more valuable, I have seen these silverware, they are all old Tibetan silver, and now they can't be bought at all, although compared with the history of our country, it is really insignificant, but compared with the history of the United States, it is really an old antique, because the least years have to be more than a hundred years, and it is absolutely not a loss to buy it back. There are also a few strings of Buddha beads, which are estimated to be from rich families, but they are used in the best Bodhi seeds, which are very valuable. Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and explained.

"That's the case, I said, how did you get rid of that female manager, you dare to tell us this. Liu Mengxun said thoughtfully.

"Well, there are sixty-five silver accessories here, I'm going to buy them back and put them in the museum, and the duplicate ones will be given away, Zhanfei, Phoenix, you two pick a few of your favorites, take them back and give them away, this thing is estimated to be put for a few hundred years, it will be more valuable, but it's a pity that we can't wait, but the descendants should be able to benefit." Zhang Tianyuan said.

"We don't want it, these things still have a certain value in the museum, after all, they represent a piece of history, but it doesn't mean much to us. Now everyone can't even look down on sterling silver jewelry, marriage is three gold, hardware, either gold, or platinum, if you really give us this thing, it will be a waste. Zhanfei waved his hand, he didn't give Zhang Tianyuan face, but these things were just as he said, except for the slightly longer history and the life culture of the former snow field, nothing else.

"It's also, in terms of the workmanship of sterling silver jewelry, it is indeed more delicate than Tibetan silver jewelry, and most of the stones inlaid are real turquoise. Red coral, etc., the quality of the stone is better, its brightness is stronger than the Tibetan silver, even if the Tibetan silver is more simple and primitive, that is not of much significance, in fact, the real silverware, much more ancient than the Tibetan silver, this is not an advantage, you don't want it, these things are put in the museum's miscellaneous museum, and they will be used as exhibits for everyone to see, anyway, now this thing is basically extinct, we can meet here, it is really a very lucky thing. "Zhang Tianyuan didn't force Zhanfei and Blue Phoenix, this kind of thing, it's voluntary.

"Brother Zhang, shall I call the manager?"

"Go ahead. ”

After a while, Zhan Fei came over with the female manager, and the female manager's face was full of red, probably because she had just made a big business, so she smiled very happily.

"Business is good. ”

"Generally, I don't know what kind of things you like boss, I will pack it for you, if you want to pack it finely, you have to add additional money, I have to make it clear to you, otherwise we will be unpleasant later." ”

"That's right, but there's no need for fine packaging, except for those prayer wheels, everything else will be boxed for me, you can calculate the price." I'm going to have to make it cheaper, or I won't buy it. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"There are hundreds of them, and even if you have more than ninety prayer wheels, you can be sure you want them all, it's a lot of money. The female manager was a little stunned, she didn't know what Zhang Tianyuan meant, because no one would ever buy something like this.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't give you money? ”

If you like something, you will naturally have to buy it all, money is nothing to Zhang Tianyuan, it's basically a matter of numbers, if he is afraid of being expensive and doesn't buy it, that's funny. (To be continued......)
