Chapter 277: Red Mountain Jade Pig Dragon

............ "100 for a piece, 300 for 300!" Liu Dong said after a little groaning.

However, after listening to his words, the middle-aged boss had a stiff smile on his face.

The other two pieces of jade in Liu Dong's hand are nothing, but when he went to the countryside to receive the goods, he didn't spend a penny, but the dragon pendant, although the cost was less than fifty yuan, but after he made it old, he also spent a lot of effort, if he sold it for a hundred yuan, although it was not a loss, and even some made money, but the middle-aged boss was not willing to do so.

Subsequently, the two bargained, and finally Liu Dong bought the three pieces of jade for 500 yuan.

Don't think that 500 yuan is very little, in 2,000 years, this is half a month's salary of the average white-collar worker.

……

"Xiaodong, did you spend five hundred yuan to buy three such ugly things?" Watching Liu Dong buy things just now, Mu Gang kept standing aside and didn't speak, and he finally said the question in his heart.

"Hehe, Brother Mu, don't look at these pieces of jade in appearance, but they are truly priceless things, and there are no more than 100 pieces of jade of the same age in the whole country!" Liu Dong asked with a hint of excitement in his tone.

When the aura of his relics shrouded these tones just now, the dazzling orange aura shocked him for a long time. According to Liu Dong's judgment, any cultural relics that exude orange aura are at least antiques from 5,000 years ago.

At this time, Liu Dong picked out the dragon pendant among the three pieces of jade and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road.

"Hey, Xiaodong. Spent money to buy jade. Why did you throw it away?"

Reached out and grabbed Mu Gang, who was about to pick up the jade in the trash can again. Liu Dong smiled and shook his head, "Brother Mu, that piece of jade is not worth a few dollars, and the stall owner has soaked in dog blood for at least half a month in order to make Qin on this piece of jade, it's too dirty!"

Hearing this, Mu Gang stopped, turned his suspicious gaze to the other two pieces in Liu Dong's hand and asked, "Then ...... these two pieces?"

"Huh. These two pieces can't be thrown away, they are truly priceless treasures!" As he spoke, Liu Dong looked at the two pieces of jade in his hand, and there was a hint of fiery color in his eyes.

"Priceless?" Mu Gang swept his head, for him, only advanced kung fu was priceless.

"Yes, these two pieces of jade are from the Hongshan culture 5,000 years ago, living in the northern part of the Hebei and the upper reaches of the Daling River and the West Liaohe River in the western Liaoning. This jade that looks like a hook, the jade pig dragon in the jade of the Hongshan culture, there are only four pieces in the world! The remaining one is the jade statue in the Hongshan culture, there are no less than 10 in the world, and as far as I know. Bigger and more complicated than the jade statue in my hand, the only thing that is bigger and more complicated is the statue of the Red Mountain Jade Beast God in the Forbidden City! Are they precious, you say?"

"Sounds precious!" Mu Gang said with a smile. Although he didn't understand this, he was naturally happy to see Liu Dong find a treasure.

"Excuse me, two!" At this moment, a slightly old voice sounded not far from Liu Dong's left.

Hearing this, Liu Dong turned his head to see that an old man wearing white shoulders, gray pants, and a pair of dark purple sandals on his feet, aged about sixty years old, with an elegant air on his body, appeared in his sight.

Noticing the movements of the two, the old man smiled kindly.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry to hear the two of you talk just now! It's just that I am also a jade lover, so after hearing that the little brother found the priceless Hongshan jade, I couldn't help but ask, I hope the two of you can give me a chance to feast my eyes on the old man!"

Noticing the look of vigilance in the eyes of the two, the old man continued: "The old man knows that this request is a bit abrupt, but the old man has been engaged in jade all his life, and he has never seen the jade of the Hongshan culture except in the museum, so he took the liberty to ask for it, and the door in front of him with the 'Jade Treasure Pavilion' is the old man's shop, and the two of you don't have to be afraid that the old guy I, the old guy, will run away with things, and with the physique of a young man, I am not afraid of me, an old man." Saying that, the old man smiled and nodded at Mu Gang.

"Xiaodong......!" Mu Gang looked at Liu Dong, with a look of agreement in his eyes.

In this old man's body, Mu Gang felt the same temperament as Uncle Long, that is, the ultimate pursuit of what he liked. However, Uncle Long pursues all kinds of precious wood, and this old man values jade more.

After stretching out his hand to signal Mu Gang to calm down for a while, Liu Dong looked at the old man in front of him indifferently and asked, "You are old, your surname?"

"Hehe, the old man's surname is Wen, he is still a little famous in Panjiayuan, and he still has a little face in the entire antique circle in the capital!" Speaking of this, the old man's face showed a bit of self-satisfaction.

Liu Dong didn't care too much about the truth or falsehood of what the old man said.

"Elder Wen, although we said just now that this is the jade of the Hongshan culture, why do you believe it so much? What if it is an empty joy?" Liu Dong smiled indifferently.

Hearing his words, the old man smiled, "Hehe, young man! The old man has lived most of his life, although he has suffered a lot of losses, but he has also practiced a little eyesight, and he still has some confidence in his own vision." After a pause, the old man replied to a large number of two people, especially after Liu Dong took a bowel movement, he continued: "It doesn't matter if the last one is empty, the old man has invited the two of them to drink hot tea and make friends!"

After listening, Liu Dong was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "Since you have already said this, then it would be too unkind for us not to go, and we agreed to this matter!"

"Please!"

"Haha, the little brother is really a steady and witty person, okay! Come with me!" said the old man who took the lead and led the way in front.

The group of three walked less than twenty meters before they stopped in front of the 'Treasure Pavilion' that Elder Wen had said before.

"Master, you're back!" Seeing the old man leading Liu Dong and the two in, a young man in his early twenties with an honest look on his face, hurriedly ran over.

"Well, Xiao Mingzi, you go to the back hall, brew my collection of good tea, and then bring it to the second floor, I have a distinguished guest!"

"Yes, master, I'll go now!" The young man glanced at Liu Dong and Mu Gang curiously, walked through the shop, then opened the small door next to the counter and disappeared behind the door.

"Please, two of you!"

"Well, please go first!" Liu Dong nodded and said politely.

Following Wen Lao upstairs, Liu Dong also took the opportunity to look at the whole store, the first floor of the Treasure Pavilion is about more than 90 square meters, and the left and right walls are full of large and small jade pieces, but they are not big, and most of them are machine products, but fortunately, they are all real jade, not glass, plastic and other inferior goods.

Regarding the jade on the wall, Liu Dong took a few glances and lost interest.

On the contrary, the jade pieces in the four glass cabinets in the middle of the lobby made his eyes shine.

"Yes, yes, it's been a long time since I've seen such an atmospheric Beijing style carver!"

At this time, Wen Lao, who was originally walking in front to lead the way, also turned around after hearing Liu Dong's words to himself, looked at the direction Liu Dong was looking, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Little brother also knows jade carving!"

"That is, Xiao Dong's jade carving is very good, and the collection of wood carvings and antiques is even more powerful!" Liu Dong didn't open his mouth, and Mu Gang next to him couldn't help but show off.

"Hehe, is it? I didn't expect the little brother to be versatile!" said Wen Lao with a smile.

"The old man has praised it, compared to the craftsmanship of your old pure Beijing jade carving master, it is not enough to see below!" Liu Dong complimented him slightly.

Of course, although Liu Dong said modestly, but it is not bad, compared to his wood carving skills have reached the peak of 'skill', from the realm of the master, only one step away, then on the way of jade carving, because of the lack of guidance from famous teachers, his jade carving skills from the peak of 'skill', there is still a distance, from the realm of the master is even farther.

At this moment, the jade carving works in the glass cabinet, with a few knives, have already outlined the image of the entire jade carving works, and they are vivid, magnificent, with a deep royal atmosphere, and the essence of the Beijing school carver.

In addition, Liu Dong's carving work is generally inherited from the Beijing School, so he has his own understanding of the Beijing School of jade carving skills.

"Hehe, the little brother has won the award, since you also know jade carving, we can discuss it later!" After Wen Lao finished speaking, he also indirectly explained that these jade carving works are indeed his handiwork.

"Don't dare to discuss, if you can always give me some advice, I will be grateful!" Liu Dong said sincerely.

The kung fu of the two of them has come to the second floor, a more than 50 square meters, circle chairs, eight immortal tables, plum bamboo orchid chrysanthemum four gentlemen's screens, a Ming and Qing dynasty home style furnishings.

"Come, please be seated!"

At this time, the young man named Xiao Mingzi had already walked up with a teapot and a teacup.

"Elder Wen, please prepare a basin of water at room temperature, a toothbrush, and a clean white linen!"

After listening to Liu Dong's words, the old man's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile: "It seems that the little brother also has a deep understanding of the way of Panyu!"

"Hehe, the old man has won the award, in fact, he is very ashamed, and he doesn't have much time in the next time, so he can only use this 'martial arts' method! I hope there will be no damage to these two pieces of jade!"

The text plate is time-consuming and laborious, often three or five years can not work, if the time into the soil is too long, the time to play is often ten years, or even decades, and Liu Dong in the hands of this piece of red mountain jade, more than 5,000 years ago, look at the new pit, unearthed for a long time, want to use the text plate, without decades of hard work can not work at all, Liu Dong does not have this kung fu.

As for the higher requirements of Yipan, Liu Dong himself doesn't know if he has the opportunity to 'unite people and jade', so he can only use 'Wupan'......!
