Saleh. Xie He was a little hesitant at this time, at that time he only saw the exquisiteness of the purple clay pot, but he did not think of making it old. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the old purple clay pot can't see its own color at all, what if there is really a problem with the mud?
So, now Saleh . The Sheikh didn't even think of three thousand pieces.
Naturally, the boss also saw Saleh. Sheikh's hesitation, so he immediately said, "It can't be a reversal, right?" The price just now is yours. ”
"Senior brother, since the price is out, I still bought it, the workmanship is still good, go back and wipe it well, it's okay to use it for viewing." Mo Ye said immediately.
"Okay, people don't stand without faith, and if you say it's good, it's three thousand." Saleh. Although the Sheikh felt that it was not worth it, he knew the importance of credit, so he paid without hesitation.
Wait until Saleh. Xie He paid the money, and Mo Xie said with a smile: "Don't soak in water first, after carefully cleaning the leather shoe polish outside, take care of it, but the upper layer of shoe polish should not be too much of a problem." ”
“Why? What the? "Saleh. Sheikh said in surprise.
"What do you say? How can it be? The young boss asked at the same time.
Mo Ye smiled and said, "The boss doesn't know? So how do you think it's old? This purple clay pot is nothing more than a layer of shoe polish, and it is not aged in other ways. ”
There are two methods of counterfeiting on the market, one is to make the surface of the mud old, the method is to polish the shoe polish, like the appearance of human hands often touched, it looks old, or it is corroded with strong acid.
The second is to coat the purple clay pot with white cement and blister it with water to make an unearthed effect, but here it is simply wiped with shoe polish.
"You're saying this purple clay pot is just a shoe polish rub? Anything else is okay? The boss asked.
Looking at the boss whose face kept twitching, Mo Xie smiled and said, "Yes! Shoe polish looks a bit of a sense of historical vicissitudes, in fact, I don't feel necessary at all, the workmanship is very good, even if it is a new product, it is worth 3,000 yuan. ”
"Huh! I also feel the same way, many people think that the older the purple clay pot, the better, specializing in the collection of old pots, old pots, in fact, the key to measuring the value of a purple clay pot collection, or look at the artistic value, not necessarily the older the better. "Saleh. Sheikh said with a smile on his face.
"How can this yellow, yellow, green, and green not be a chemical raw material?" The boss was a little disappointed.
Mo Ye smiled, if it weren't for the fact that this purple clay pot was too fancy, Saleh. Sheikh really can't really pick up the leak, this boss must see that the color of this pot is wrong, so he will wipe it with shoe polish to make it old.
If there is no huge database to support it, Mo Ye will definitely not know the difference, but now Mo Ye just knows, so he knows that this is the world's misunderstanding of "color".
Due to the different distribution of its mining areas and ore layers, Yi@Xing purple sand mud has dozens of natural colors, which is very wonderful.
Natural purple sand mud includes red mud or cinnabar mud, purple mud, green mud (beige), azure mud (can be called gold in the mud, green color when the mine is produced, very rare) and sand mud.
But now, many pot makers, in order to meet people's ornamental needs, add chemical raw materials to the clay at will, and finally make the pot although the color is bright, but the tea will have a peculiar smell, and its value is not high.
This boss probably thinks so, so he will sell it for 3,000 yuan in the end.
Other Mo Ye is not sure, this purple clay pot is doped with chemical additives or not, and the super biological detector can scan it clearly.
So the antiquity of this purple clay pot is just rubbed with some leather shoe polish to make it, as for the color, this is its true color.
Leaving the stall, Saleh. Sheikh said happily: "Thank you, junior brother, I am Saleh. Sheikh. ”
"With a gesture, my name is Mo Ye, and I am really your junior brother." Mo Xie said with a smile.
Saleh. Xie He shook his head and said, "Whether it is a junior brother or not, I have to thank you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pick up the leak." ”
"Are you using it for collection, or are you going to sell it?" Mo Ye asked with a smile.
Saleh. Xie He said with a smile: "Naturally, I sold it to make money, and I bought it for 3,000 yuan and mailed it back to my country, which can be sold for 3,000 dollars." ”
"Congratulations then." Mo Evil Dao.
"I invite you to eat a leg of lamb." Saying, Saleh. Xie He clapped his hands, and immediately someone brought up a food box, and Mo Ye was speechless when he saw it.
Saleh. Sheikh smiled and said, "I come here almost every weekend, and I wake up too early, so I naturally need to eat something, so I prepared a little food, please don't dislike it." ”
Mo Ye took the leg of lamb all the time, it was stewed, not roasted, and at this time he saw Saleh. Sheikh was also clutching a leg of mutton and was gnawing on it.
He also had a knife in his hand, and he cut a few times from time to time before biting, so he ate quickly.
"You're a nobleman, aren't you?" Mo Xie asked.
Saleh. Xie He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Village chief, in your words, that is, the village chief who is not a cadre?" ”
"Don't take the village chief as a cadre? The village chief mentioned here is also a cadre. "I didn't expect this Ah nobleman to be so funny, so Mo Xie also nibbled on the mutton.
"You lack a food knife, use me first!" Saleh. Sheikh Dao.
"No, I saw a food relief knife, use that one." Mo Ye smiled and walked into a stall.
After analyzing so many things, they finally found another good thing, and it was not far from the two of them.
"You're welcome, you helped me just now, what is it to give you a knife, please don't refuse." Saleh. Sheikh said seriously.
Looking at the short knife inlaid with rubies, Mo Ye was speechless, they just met, so they gave such a valuable knife?
However, Mo Ye knew the reason in a blink of an eye, it turned out that it was extremely common for Arabs to give gold jewelry and gold and silver waist knives to friends.
Arabs, especially those living in the Gulf countries, are very particular about gift-giving, and for them, gift-giving itself is a sign of friendship, goodwill and respect, which is of particular concern to them.
As for what kind of gift to give, of course, the more practical the better, the more expensive and decent, so not only the Chinese love face, the Arabs value feelings, talk about human feelings, and also have a good face.
"Okay, I'll take it, but I can't accept your gift for nothing, I'll pay you back now." As he spoke, Mo Xie raised the leg of mutton in his hand and said.
At this time, on the stall next to Mo Ye, the boss also saw them, and when he saw Mo Ye raising the leg of mutton, the boss smiled and said, "Are you two eating?" ”
"You can't eat meat without a knife, I just saw that the boss has one in his hand, why don't you sell it to me?" Mo Xie said with a smile.
The boss was stunned for a moment, and then picked up a small knife, with a black scabbard, a white handle, and a blade of more than 20 centimeters, which looked a little inconspicuous.
"This is a food relief knife, it has a history of more than 100 years, if you really want it, give it 3,000!" The boss said with a smile.
Mo Ye was stunned, things were so coincidental, and the price was three thousand?
Mo Ye picked up Saleh just now. The short knife that the Sheikh gave him turned to the boss and said, "This knife of yours is inlaid with gems?" Or is it inlaid with gold and silver? The scabbard is made of wood, right? The handle of the knife is not ivory, but animal bone, and the black is silver, and the yellow is copper, not gold, and it costs three thousand? ”
The boss said: "I didn't expect to be an expert, since this is the case, then it's easy to talk about, if you know what it is, you can seal the marquis immediately, right?" In the early Qing Dynasty, the Manchus founded the country by force, and the officials of the Eight Banners often led the troops to go out to fight, and they must have purses, food knives, fire sickles and other living utensils on their belts.
The emperor of the Qing Dynasty favored the primitive religion of shamanism, before and after entering the customs, held a ceremony to worship the gods and sacrifice to the sky, after each sacrifice, he would summon his cronies and important ministers to enter the palace to share the 'blessing meat', at this time it was necessary for individuals to divide and eat with a food knife.
This knife is the banner of victory knife given by the emperor to the minister when the Manchurians went out on the expedition, although I don't know who the owner of this knife is, but it is definitely not an ordinary item, and three thousand is really not expensive. ”
"You mean, this knife is a food relief knife given by the emperor to the nobles?" Saleh. Sheikh couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, there are four words on it immediately, 'immediately seal the marquis', such an anti-food knife must have been given by the emperor, and only the emperor can reward the marquis immediately." The boss continued to flicker.
Mo Xie looked at the boss who kept flickering with a smile, he said a lot of things wrong, it was right to seal the marquis immediately, and the emperor was right to reward the nobles to go on the expedition, but this boss didn't take it seriously, he just flickered, he didn't even believe what he said, so he only needed three thousand yuan.
Seeing the boss perform so hard, Mo Xie didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he directly took out 3,000 yuan and bought it.
This is the second treasure found after the super biological detector upgrade, but I didn't expect it to be given away just after it arrived.
Looking at the exquisite knife in his hand, and then at the jet-black anti-eating knife, Mo Ye was a little embarrassed.
"This is a gift from Emperor Qianlong, a boutique of the palace office, but unfortunately there are no chopsticks." Gave the anti-feeding knife to Saleh. After the sheikh, Mo Ye spoke.
"Is this really the antidote knife that your Chinese emperor rewarded the nobles?" Saleh. The Sheikh did not dislike the knife because it was dirty, but curiously flipped through it again and again.
"That's right, this is called the Red Lotus Pattern Sheath and the Bone Chopstick, it turned out that someone had auctioned it, so I recognized it at a glance." Mo Xie glanced at the boss before he spoke.
This set of food knives is divided into two parts, the knife scabbard wood fetal xiū vermilion lacquer, can be held in the tip of the utensils, its lacquer is thick, the shovel relief is entwined with branches and lotus patterns, the knife is deep and exquisite, the grinding is round and mature, and the texture is fine.
The sheath and tip mouth are inlaid with cloisonné enamel, the chopsticks and knife handles are made of bone, and the knife is made of steel and is in the shape of a long strip.
This set of tableware is exquisitely made, the lacquerware is lightweight, easy to carry, and it is really not easy to keep it intact to this day.
