Chapter 153 Warring States Jade
Liu Hao came to this ghost city, and he also thought it was interesting, after listening to Zhang Tianyuan's words, he went around, anyway, it was not easy to come once, if he came, he would have fun, he couldn't just follow Zhang Tianyuan's ass and watch, how boring it was.
Li Xiao was not afraid at this time, seeing Zhang Tianyuan concentrating on observing the things on the stall there, he felt a little bored, so he said: "Brother Zhang, I also go to walk around, anyway, I just don't buy anything." ”
"Okay, you go play, it's time to visit the tour. Zhang Tianyuan nodded, and then turned his attention to the miscellaneous things in the stall.
Because the sky is relatively dark, it is impossible to see the truth and falsehood, so Zhang Tianyuan simply did not waste time, used the word search trick, began to search, if you exercise your eyesight, it is more appropriate to go to the regular antique street, where the eye is fast is the key, if you are slow, things may be bought by others.
As expected, whether it was this stall or a few stalls nearby, most of the things on it were imitations and fakes, and some of them were even so coarse that they could be seen at a glance.
This kind of thing can be taken out, no wonder many people now say that the ghost market is a garbage distribution center.
He couldn't help but shake his head, and was about to leave and go to the next place to continue the search, but suddenly his eyes were aimed at the cigarette bag pot that the stall owner was holding, this is also called a dry tobacco stick, but in Yancheng, it is called a tobacco bag pot.
It is said that flue-cured tobacco is native to the Americas, and was introduced from the Philippines to Baodao and Nanxun during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It has gradually expanded to all provinces and the hinterland.
Smoking dry tobacco has become a pastime for Chinese people after tea and dinner. Holding a dry tobacco gun, let's take a breath, and see the smoker's demeanor is really a bag of cigarettes after a meal, like a fairy.
There are long and short cigarette sticks.
The long poles that Zhang Tianyuan has seen have purple bamboos and Xiangfei bamboos with dots and spots. It is made of bamboo and wood materials such as mahogany, sorrel wood, and the exquisite cigarette stick has a twisted wire carving. The cigarette holder is made of white copper, jade, jade, and agate. Like Ji Da Tobacco Pouch in the TV series "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" and the TV series "Mansion Gate" The Seventh Master of the Bai Family is both holding a long dry smoking gun, especially the golden cigarette stick given by Ji Xiaolan has become a kind of identity.
Eating tobacco in a smoking pot also reflects a kind of authority. Especially people who eat tobacco in a long smoke pot. Generally, the head of the family, this kind of person, in the local area of Yancheng in the past, was called the shopkeeper, saw the shopkeeper reprimand, or mediated disputes to reason, when it came to excitement, he would use the smoke pot as a prop, with a dark face and spit in his mouth, and knock the smoke pot the edge of the kang. I have also seen the shopkeeper use the smoking pot as a "weapon" to educate children. The child was disobedient, and before the reprimand came, he had already received a smoke pot on his head, protecting his head, baring his teeth and cracking his mouth, and did not dare to cry out in pain.
In fact, this kind of scene can often be seen in TV dramas, which is very interesting.
However, Zhang Tianyuan was not interested in dry tobacco at this time, he was interested in the cigarette pouch and pot in the stall owner's hand.
I didn't pay attention when I scanned the word search just now, and I'm going to leave now. Only then did I realize that this cigarette pouch and pot are not simple.
There is also a knack for picking up leaks in these years, and the things on the stalls, maybe ten out of ten are fake, but the things on the stall owner. Maybe two out of ten are true, so when you observe, you should pay attention to the things in the stall. You really can't underestimate the things that the stall owner is holding in his hands and wearing around his neck.
Zhang Tianyuan also took a look at this point. It was this glance that made him stop and not leave.
Nowadays, many people come out to pick up treasures. More often than not, the focus is on major items such as ceramics, calligraphy and painting, but there is a lack of understanding and attention to some little-known miscellaneous items, and then a lot is missed.
Zhang Tianyuan is different from these people, he thinks that ceramics, calligraphy and painting, there are very few real things, because everyone pays attention to them, so they are really basically picked up almost the same, but they are miscellaneous, it is very likely that you will encounter it, that is, it is true, you can pick up the treasure at one time.
"Young man, why don't you look at the stall and stare at me?" The stall owner couldn't help but ask when he found that Zhang Tianyuan had been staring at him.
The ghost market should talk less, but it doesn't mean that you can't speak, and some words that don't involve antiques are still okay if you lower your voice.
Zhang Tianyuan was not restrained at the moment, and said with a smile: "Boss, can you lend me your cigarette bag and pot?"
At this time, Zhang Tianyuan used Yancheng's local words, and the boss smiled at it: "Are you a local?"
"It's not local to Yan Cheng, but it's right next to it. Zhang Tianyuan replied.
"Okay, for the sake of seeing that you are a fellow countryman, I will show you, but I explained in advance, this cigarette bag and pot are not for sale, this thing has been with me for more than ten years, and I have feelings. The boss said.
Zhang Tianyuan didn't care about his words, generally the stall owner said that there would be two meanings, the first is that I don't sell the money you give, and the second is more insidious, indicating that the cigarette bag and pot in his hand are not valuable, he said this, just to lure you into being fooled, he said not to sell, you must think that the thing may be true, in the case that you can't be completely sure, it is very likely to buy it.
The knowledge of ordinary people may not be as good as that of college students, but the doorway in their minds is definitely much more powerful than that of college students.
Zhang Tianyuan carefully took the cigarette pouch and pot in his hand and observed it, and found that the cigarette stick was just made of ordinary bamboo and wood, and there was nothing special about it, and to be honest, he was a little disappointed.
But when he touched the cigarette holder, he suddenly changed his expression slightly, this was just an instantaneous change, and soon returned to normal, he didn't know if the stall owner knew the value of the cigarette pouch and pot, so he had to pretend not to care.
Because after touching it with my hand, I felt that the cigarette holder was a little special, so I deliberately checked it with a word appreciation trick, which didn't matter, but I found that its dragon appearance turned out to be a leader of the dragon, that is to say, this thing that looks like a jade cigarette holder is actually a Warring States jade!
This discovery surprised him very much, but on the surface, he was still very calm, looked at it casually, and returned the cigarette bag and pot to the stall owner.
Forthwith. He chose a good-looking bamboo carving at the stall and said to the stall owner, "I like your cigarette pouch and pot." Why don't you just sell it to me as a product?"
The stall owner didn't speak. directly took out the sleeve, which was obviously agreed, it depends on the price given by Zhang Tianyuan.
You may be able to buy them for ten yuan, or you may have to spend hundreds or thousands or even tens of thousands to buy them.
Why didn't Zhang Tianyuan buy the cigarette pouch and pot directly, but chose to buy the things on the stall and let the cigarette pouch and pot be delivered? The key was that he was afraid that the owner of the stall would notice something. That's not easy.
In fact, he was really worried about this matter, the cigarette bag and pot in the stall owner's hand were bought cheaply in a nearby jade shop, and the owner of the shop was basically sold in a warehouse because he was preparing for a jade fair, and the things in the store were basically sold in clearance, at most a hundred yuan a piece, because there were no good things.
Of course, that's what the owner of the shop thinks.
So the two began to shake hands and bargain.
Shake hands with each other and say the price. For example, if one finger is held, it is one, but the mouth should say "this element", "this corner", or "this whole" and "this zero".
Hold two fingers to indicate two. And so on until five fingers are five, and holding the big and little fingers is six. Holding the big finger, index finger and middle finger is seven, and holding the big finger and index finger is eight. Hooking the index finger into a groove is nine, and stacking the index finger and middle finger on top of each other is ten.
Such as holding a finger. Say "this yuan" with your mouth, hold two fingers again, and say "this horn" with your mouth, which means one yuan and two corners.
The stall owner first said a price, 10,000 yuan for two things.
Zhang Tianyuan naturally didn't agree, this kind of place, asking for a price all over the sky, it is normal to sit on the ground and pay back.
Generally, you have to bargain for clothes and shoes at the stalls, and antiques are even more the same.
The price given by Zhang Tianyuan was 200 yuan.
From 10,000 to 200, it can be said that it is completely the difference between heaven and earth.
The stall owner was naturally unhappy, but he didn't dare to ask for it at this time, and gave a price of 1,000 yuan.
This price is basically in line with Zhang Tianyuan's psychological price, although he has money, but the money is not picked up, and a transaction like this is naturally as cheap as possible.
So, Zhang Tianyuan gave another price of 800 yuan, and said, "It's auspicious!"
In fact, the stall owner's cigarette bag and pot cost 100 yuan, and the bamboo carving on the stall was 2 yuan a piece, and 800 yuan was sold, which was definitely earned, and the stall was not in vain today, so he simply nodded, which was considered a deal.
Zhang Tianyuan's face was joyless and sad, like a Buddha, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at this time, until he got the cigarette bag and pot and the bamboo carving, he smiled and said: "The boss has a prosperous business, so don't bother, see you again." ”
Walking to a place where no one set up a stall, he casually threw the bamboo carving into the trash can, then took off the cigarette holder on the cigarette pouch pot and put it away, and threw the rest directly together, and the worthless thing took the place there.
The reason why he didn't throw it in front of the stall owner was because he was afraid of causing trouble, the people of Yancheng were fierce, or the entire northwest was actually fierce, in case people guessed that you got the baby, if something happened, no one wanted to think about it.
At this time, the stall owner counted the money in his hand over and over again, and said with a smile in his heart: "Stupid, the bamboo carving is only two yuan wholesale, and I actually gave me 800 yuan, which is really a lot of injustices in these years, but the cigarette bag and pot are a bit of a pity, I still want to keep it for myself, but forget it, I will buy it next time." ”
Who is stupid, who is profitable, I am afraid that the stall owner is still confused at this time.
But it's okay like this, it's actually a kind of luck to be confused, if he knows that the cigarette holder is Warring States jade, I don't know if Lu Dao will regret his death.
Zhang Tianyuan was already humming a song in his mouth at this time, it was rare to come to the ghost market, and he could get such a piece of Warring States jade, even if it was only a small piece, it would be content.
The value of this jade is still immeasurable, but according to the current valuation of Zhang Tianyuan's character appraisal formula, it is about one million to say the least, and it can only be higher than this, it cannot be less than this, after all, Zhang Tianyuan's current appraisal of the character appraisal is still not very accurate, but it is often estimated less, do you say he can be unhappy?
Even if this thing is only worth a million, it doesn't matter, he can get a million back after visiting a ghost market, he is content to make money so easily, and even if he doesn't make any gains at this jade fair, he won't care.
Just as he was happy, Li Xiao had already walked around, and when he saw Zhang Tianyuan's happy look, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhang, have you picked up a treasure?"
Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said, "I picked up a jade cigarette holder, you can take a look, it's not bad, right?"
Li Xiao took a look, he actually didn't understand, and felt that this jade cigarette holder was estimated to be only a thousand yuan, so he really didn't understand what Zhang Tianyuan was happy about.
Zhang Tianyuan saw that he didn't understand, and he didn't say anything, this kind of thing is better to keep a low profile, in the past, there was wealth and not revealing it, but now you have to be careful when doing things, of course Li Xiao can't harm him, but there are a lot of people around, maybe even if you don't know how much the jade cigarette holder is worth, but if Zhang Tianyuan has to say it, that person can still understand him.
He put away the jade cigarette holder, in fact, it is not certain whether this thing is a jade cigarette holder or not, because in the Warring States Period, there should be no dry tobacco, but this is not certain, this thing that looks very suitable for making a jade cigarette holder may be something else.
