Chapter 394: The True Face of the Great Qi Tongbao
Fang You frowned, and then said helplessly: "Old Wu, I don't know how much it is, Xiao Yiyi and I bought three things together, and it was only twenty yuan." ”
"Three things, twenty yuan, you mean, this purse averaged less than seven yuan." Wu Lao's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief.
Suddenly, Wu Lao looked at the purse in his hand, and then said with a nervous expression: "Xiaoyou, can you give me this big Qi Tongbao, you can buy it as much as you want, and you can change things." ”
Chu Lao frowned slightly, "Old Wu, you should take back what you say, you know better than us the value and significance of this Great Qi Tongbao, if this Great Qi Tongbao is yours, will you exchange it with others." ”
"Old Chu, I was excited just now, alas, this big Qi Tongbao is too rare, it can be said to be a unique product." Hearing Chu Lao's words, Wu Lao also realized the inappropriateness of his words, he said with a wry smile, but he still looked at Fang You without giving up.
Fang You smiled lightly, his tone was full of firmness, "Old Wu, I want to keep this thing for myself, no matter what price others pay, I will never let it out." ”
Wu Lao sighed, Fang You's words blocked all his way out, he had also heard of Fang You's experience during this time, how could a person with billions of jadeite sell this rare coin and exchange it for something, I'm afraid that few of his collections are something that Fang You can look at.
Fang You can understand Wu Lao's feelings, this Great Qi Tongbao can be said to be a real one-of-a-kind, although it is said that there are only two Great Qi Tongbao surviving, but the whereabouts of these two coins are unknown.
After the Taiping army invaded Hangzhou, Dai Xi, who had always been prejudiced against the Taiping army, committed suicide by throwing himself into the well, and buried all his collections deep into the ground.
The four-eyed Daqi was purchased by Uncle Zhang with heavy money, and the secret room was hidden, never shown, and called himself Qi Zhai, but Uncle Zhang tamed during the Anti-Japanese War, moved to the United States, and after his death, his widow sold all the collections, and the precious four-eyed Daqi was missing.
Although there are two pieces in the world, it is equivalent to nothing, and the significance and value of Fang You's complete Great Qi Tongbao are absolutely incalculable.
Wu Lao shook his head, when it comes to luck, I'm afraid no one can compare to the upper swim, how many antiques that others have never seen can be found by him, not only antiques, but even a hundred years of Huadiao wine, a thousand years of ginseng, this kind of money can't buy things, are all reproduced in his hands.
He couldn't help but sigh why he didn't pay attention to the stalls selling purses when he was visiting the temple fair.
"Okay, Lao Wu, don't feel sorry for yourself, when we see this Great Qi Tong Treasure, we are already fortunate to have three lives, so we don't have to expect to have it, not to mention, this buried Great Qi Tong Treasure will reappear in our hands, this is a huge honor." Chu Lao said with a smile.
Old Wu glared at him angrily, the relationship between this old man and Fang You was like that of a master and apprentice, and the time he could see the Great Qi Tongbao was definitely much more than his own, so he naturally didn't care about it.
I wanted to refute two sentences, but Wu Lao thought about it, but he shook his head, and looked at the purse with burning eyes, "Old Chu, you are right, what we have to do now is to make this Great Qi Tongbao complete in the world, and we can't leave a little regret." ”
"I've been waiting for your words for a long time, hurry up and take out the tools, and we'll start separating the copper coins." Chu Lao pointed at him with a smile, and was about to touch his purse as he spoke.
Seeing this, Wu Lao looked a little annoyed, and said violently: "Don't panic, this Great Qi Tongbao is so precious, you touch it like this, don't you even wash your hands." ”
Looking at the seriousness on Wu Lao's face, Chu Lao smiled helplessly and gently washed his hands in the basin.
Then Wu Lao put the purse on the table, looked at it reverently, and then folded his hands and bowed slightly, as if this great Qi Tongbao was his lifelong belief.
Old Chu couldn't help but be a little funny, don't go crazy because of this Great Qi Tongbao.
Then, Chu Lao and Wu Lao, using tools, slowly separated the copper coin from the bow, as Chu Lao said, fortunately, this bow is made of solid glue, without any corrosive properties.
And the bow itself is made of wiring, which is more conducive to the separation of copper coins, although this copper coin is not big, but Chu Lao and Wu Lao are cautious, and their movements are light, for fear of damaging a little copper coin.
If this complete Great Qi Tong Treasure is damaged in their hands, then they will be the greatest sinners, and a complete Great Qi Tong Treasure will have the same meaning as a damaged Great Qi Tong Treasure.
After nearly half an hour, the two finally successfully separated the copper coin from the bow, and then, they put the copper coin into a bowl of warm vinegar to soak for a while, and then gently brushed the copper coin with a copper brush.
Fang You took a little lightly, rubbed it with his hand slightly, but nodded, and had some insightful thoughts, the metal pieces that were cleaned off on it were just patina.
Seeing Fang You's movements, Chu Lao smiled, "Xiaoyou, soaking the copper coin with vinegar can retain its beautiful layer of pulp, and because the copper coin is a copper utensil, it should be gently brushed with a copper brush, so that the rust that will be brushed off will only be less harder than the copper, if you brush it with a toothbrush, even if the bristles are soft, it is not only the patina that will be brushed off, but even the copper wallet paste on it will be brushed off, and the value of such a copper coin will be greatly reduced." ”
Fang You smiled and nodded to Chu Lao, at this juncture, Chu Lao didn't forget to explain the knowledge to him, which made him really a little grateful.
Wu Lao looked at Fang You with some envy, having such a well-educated person as Chu Lao personally preach, this is simply something that many people dream of.
Although Fang You relied on his attainments in antiques to gain his current reputation, Chu Lao's help definitely accounted for a large part.
After brushing it, Chu Lao put it in the sun to dry, and then took the Great Qi Tongbao to the table.
Suddenly, Fang You's face showed a shocked look, the somewhat ugly black lacquer rust on this copper coin has completely disappeared, replaced by a yellow with blue color, it looks extremely beautiful, the money text on it is clearly visible, these four words give people a magnificent atmosphere in the feeling, under this beautiful color, the dimness between the entire copper coin, a simple atmosphere comes to the face.
Fang You didn't expect that this copper coin, which was originally very ugly, seemed to change its appearance after passing through the hands of Chu Lao and the others, from an inconspicuous tattered copper coin, directly into such an extremely simple object.
The beautiful and simple colors on it can't help but make anyone want to play with it in their hands.
Elder Chu and Elder Wu looked at each other and smiled, and both nodded.
"This kind of quality, can be called a big Qi Tongbao, this big Qi Tongbao is well preserved as a whole, there is no damage, the money is clear, the pulp is almost perfect, it can be said that this big Qi Tongbao is a real priceless treasure, in the ancient spring world, extremely rare." Chu Lao looked at the copper coin on the table and couldn't help but sigh and smile.
And Wu Lao, seeing this perfect and precious Great Qi Tong Treasure, couldn't help but look at Fang You again, after seeing the surprise on Fang You's face, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, for himself, this Great Qi Tong Treasure can be said to be a priceless treasure, and for others, I am afraid it is the same.
After all, this is a unique product, and the complete Great Qi Tongbao, needless to say, the whole of China, and even the world can not find the second one, the heirloom treasure, than the unearthed things are more rare to see.
"Okay, Xiaoyou, this big Qi Tongbao has been dealt with, you can take it with you and play with it, the pulp on any antique is the same as the color of jade, and as you play, its color will become more and more beautiful and soft." Looking at Wu Lao's still undead face, Chu Lao smiled slightly and gently handed the copper coin to Fang You's hand.
Fang You took it cautiously, just by the carefulness of Chu Lao and Wu Lao, as well as the surprise on their faces, they could know that this Great Qi Tong Treasure was a truly priceless treasure, and it was the only one.
Looking at Ye Yuqing, Fang You smiled and held the copper coin tightly in his hand, ready to go back, find a rope and hang it on his body, when he didn't get the escape technique before, he often played with some copper coins in his hands, but after learning that it was all fakes, he threw it away directly, and now that he has such a precious copper coin in his hand, he will naturally take care of it carefully, there is aura in the antiques, so it can be said that they are objects with spirituality.
Dong Qilin's jade pendant can avoid murder and escape, which shows that this jade pendant has been worn for a long time, which is not only helpful to the human body, but also allows you to escape the catastrophe.
Wu Lao hesitated for a moment, and then said to Fang You ruthlessly: "Fang Xiaoyou, can you not ......" Halfway through speaking, he was embarrassed to say the rest of his words, a rare treasure, for a collector, it is simply the same as the root of life, his current actions are equivalent to forcing Fang You to hand over the root of life, he is also very familiar with Fang You, naturally embarrassed to say all the words again.
"I'm sorry, Wu Lao, this copper coin may only be precious to others, but for me, it is not only precious, but also has a meaning that no one can imagine." Fang You held the copper coin and said firmly, and couldn't help but smile at Ye Yuqing.
Seeing this, Wu Lao finally sighed helplessly, from the eyebrows of the two, he could imagine that what happened to him, I am afraid that he will not be able to exchange this rare Great Qi Tongbao at any price.
