Chapter 1269: Crooked Jade Man
Tang Yi took a puff of his cigarette, "Old man, this matter is a bit presumptuous, don't be taboo about what you want to say." The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info come and talk while eating. ”
Tang Yi took the lead in picking up vegetables, and the four of them ate some first.
Zhixiong put down his chopsticks, "When I saw Mr. Tang, I really felt like I was in love with each other!" I hesitate because I am afraid that my level is limited, and I will lose the reputation of Ge Baoduo! But since Mr. Tang treats him so sincerely! Well, I don't think much about it! I'll help! ”
"Good! I have long seen that the old man is a happy person! This thing, then put it in the store and sell it. The profit is not counted in the store, and the old man attracted attention for the opening of the new store at that time! Tang Yi raised his glass, "Let's congratulate the opening of the new store in advance, let's participate in the grand event together!" ”
"Together?" Wen Jia laughed, "Your words are really not too big!" What is the reason why you want to regain sight? ”
However, seeing Tang Yi so happy, Wen Jia was also very happy, since Lin Huanting's incident, it is rare to see Tang Yi so happy!
After this matter was decided, the relationship between Zhixiong and them was one step closer, Tang Yi asked about the situation of other antique markets, Zhixiong knew this very well, and introduced it in detail, in addition to these two antique cities, there are several antique markets in Chang'an, among which the Eight Immortals Palace is the most famous.
After the meal, everyone went to the Eight Immortals Palace Antique Market. In the afternoon, the market is not so lively, so it's all about lounging.
The Eight Immortals Palace Antique Market, generally called the Eight Immortals by the locals, is a folk antique trading market that was formed relatively early. The Eight Immortals Palace was actually originally a Taoist temple, which was originally called the Eight Immortals Temple. Just listen to the name, you know, it is related to the Eight Immortals.
The market is not big, the whole market is a two-story building, a total of dozens of storefronts, in the corridor below, used to place stalls.
Small, but exquisite, with a strong atmosphere, this is Tang Yi's first impression of the Eight Immortals Palace antique market.
At this time, there were very few people in the market, especially the stalls, most of which had been removed, and only a few stalls remained. As for the storefront, it is not the same as the Suzaku Road Antique City, it is mostly small and complete, a small shop, almost everything.
After a general look, I didn't find anything that was agreeable.
"In the past, there used to be a ghost market every Wednesday and Sunday morning. Now, the ghost market on Wednesday is basically gone, and the popularity on Sunday is okay, so it's tomorrow Sunday, so you might as well take a look tomorrow! Zhixiong introduced.
"Oh? There is also a ghost market here? What is the general situation? Tang Yi asked.
"This is actually okay, many farmers in the province or Central Plains Province and Jin Province bring things, some people understand, some people don't understand. And the sources are varied, such as family heirlooms, or those found during the renovation of old houses, and some are collected from door to door in nearby villages. So there's a chance to pick up the slack. Of course, there are also many professional dealers who fish in troubled waters with a bunch of fakes. Zhixiong introduced.
Tang Yi nodded, "What time does the market usually open?" ”
"It's a little late, it's not early in the morning, it's usually five o'clock in the morning, but at this time, it's not dawn at five o'clock, and you have to use a flashlight."
"Okay, let's have a look tomorrow morning."
Early the next morning, the four of them came to the Eight Immortals Palace antique market again, sure enough, the popularity is still quite enough, in the middle of the corridor, there are a lot of stalls, the voice is low and noisy, the flashlight flashes, and it is more lively than the stalls that were visited in the antique city yesterday.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the place, Tang Yi found the old stuff that was serious.
These were two pieces of green jade, about the size of a half-split cigarette case vertically. At first, he was taken from the stall owner by a middle-aged man, and he took a flashlight and watched it for a long time, and Tang Yi followed it while he was watching. However, after the middle-aged man negotiated the price with the stall owner in a low voice, he handed it back to the stall owner, as if the price had not been negotiated.
The stall owner took over very simply, and he didn't mean to stop the middle-aged man at all. Seeing this, Tang Yi stretched out his hand and said, "I'll take a look!" ”
On closer inspection, this is a pair of jade figures. There is not much decoration, it is a simple small long jade plate, with a striped belt around the waist, and at the same time, the upper part is carved with a head-shaped eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose. This pair of jade figures is about the same size and shape.
The most interesting thing is that this pair of jade people have a pair of buns on their heads, both of which are "crooked", both on the right side.
After Tang Yi understood, he asked the price in a low voice. The stall owner is an old farmer, but he seems to be a frequent wanderer in the ghost market and is more sophisticated. He said that this pair of jade people can be bought in pairs, or they can be single-handed, single-handedly one for 10,000, and one-to-one for 10,000 in pairs.
Tang Yi had already understood just now that the stall owner would not let the middle-aged man at this price, and he would not let the middle-aged man leave.
After another trial, the old farmer still refused to make any concessions. Tang Yi saw that there were a lot of people around him, and finally nodded, saying that he would buy this pair!
came with cash, Tang Yi took out two small bundles, 20,000 yuan.
When the stall owner looked at it, he suddenly said, "There is another jade piece, if you want it, it will be cheaper for you for 2,000, so you don't have to look for it?" How? ”
Really good at trading! Tang Yi heard it, okay, let's take a look.
As a result, the stall owner took out a piece of black jade, which was also a jade figure, but his body was fluttering, and he was a jade dancer.
Tang Yi took a closer look, this ink jade was not Hetian ink jade, but the ink jade produced by Pinyang, which was not too far from Chang'an. This kind of black jade is naturally not as precious as Hetian black jade, but it is more pure black.
The key is that this black jade dancer is a thing from the end of the Tang Dynasty, although the craftsmanship is not refined, but it is more clumsy, and the year is also there, and two thousand is not a loss. Tang Yi directly gave the two small bundles of tickets to the stall owner and took three jade pieces.
I don't know how many things the old man brought, anyway, after selling these three pieces to Tang Yi, he seemed to sell them out, packed up his things and left.
Diao Qinsan and Zhixiong went separately to look at something else, only Wen Jia was by Tang Yi's side, he didn't interject just now, and when the old farmer stall owner left, he asked in a low voice, "This pair of Qingyu people, that face plate, that hair bun crooked on the right, how does it feel like a terracotta warrior?" ”
"That's right, this is the jade man of the Qin Dynasty. It's just that the jade is a little rough and small. The things in the hands of this stall owner are all hard goods, and the price is not high, just in time! Tang Yi explained, "Although it's not a big leak, it's definitely cheap!" ”
Wen Jia nodded, "Although that black jade dancer is not well carved, it has a good sense of charm, let me have fun!" ”
"Take it." Tang Yi handed it directly to Wen Jia, "With a piece of rope and beads, it's worth playing!" ”
Wen Jia clutched it in her hand and smiled, "It feels good, let's go, continue to see." ”
After walking for a while, Tang Yi didn't find anything on his eyes for a while, but Wen Jia seemed to suddenly remember, "It's weird, you said that in the Qin State and even the Qin Dynasty, the Han people's hair bun should be in the middle of the head, but no matter if some of the warrior figurines in the terracotta warriors and horses, or if you buy this pair of jade figures, why is the bun on the head crooked to the right?" ”
