Chapter 12: The Heavy Sword Has No Edge

[Chapter Word Count:2724Last Updated:2015-03-1600:19:31.0]

The cultural market has always been more lively than the antique city and antique street, probably because it has a bit more civilian atmosphere. Today is Saturday, and the temperature is not as hot as yesterday, so the market is full of people, and even the business of selling sugar gourds and roasted sweet potatoes is booming.

Tang Yi looked at it while walking, and even looked at dozens of stalls, piles of things were shiny and bright, colorful, and looked very rich, a stall hated to encompass the five thousand years of civilization in China, but when he looked at it, he didn't find anything good.

Walking to an inconspicuous corner of the market, a patina-colored signboard caught his attention, the signboard was rectangular, and on it were three seals with the taste of gold and stone: Wanxuan Zhai.

"Wan Xuan Zhai?" Tang Yi suddenly remembered that Lin Huanting told him that the dealer would mainly auction bronzes tonight.

This is a shop that specializes in ancient coins, and the name of the shop is in response to the meaning of "green money ten thousand choices", and there are also some bronzes in the shop. Tang Yi first glanced at it with his gaze, but did not find any special treasure light appearing. It seems that what is placed outside is all big road goods.

After looking around, Tang Yi found a good Chongning Tongbao big coin. Chongning is one of the years of Song Huizong, and the four words "Chongning Tongbao" on the copper coin are the thin gold body of Song Huizong's handwriting, with iron hooks and silver strokes, and the style is gorgeous. This Chongning Tongbao is a kind of ancient coin that the majority of Quanyou are keen on, and it is divided into at least dozens of categories according to the size of the glyphs, the difference in strokes, and the difference in piercing.

This Chongning Tongbao is a dry pit in the northeast, a thin layer of green rust, the whole is flawless, and it is very beautiful. Tang Yi motioned for the shopkeeper to take it out and take a look.

"Brother, you have eyesight, my Chongning here, this one is the best." The owner is a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head and a long face with a shrewd face.

"What's the price?" Tang Yi was not verbose.

"If it's less than five hundred, it won't be sold. There is no shortage, no copper, small word wheel, such a beautiful product is rare. You're an expert, so I won't say more. The shopkeeper said with a smile. The word connoisseur, if you can't do it really, you are a mallet, and he praises you as usual. As for the small character spacer, it means that the font on the copper coin is small, and at the same time it is not connected to the copper edge, which looks more sparse and delicate, and is widely popular.

"Keep it, then." Tang Yi pulled out his legs and left.

"Huh? The young man is still in a hurry, I still have a good quality 'when ten' Xianfeng heavy treasure, you can take a look at it. The shopkeeper originally thought that Tang Yi would open his mouth to bargain, but he was about to leave without even thinking about it.

"I'm not very interested in ancient coins, so I just came in and looked at them casually." Tang Yi paused for a moment and said.

"Yes, you don't have to knock on the empty box with this hand, it seems that you want to take care of the baby, is Gu Jian interested?" The boss glanced at Tang Yi and said.

The so-called "knocking on the empty box" is a jargon, which refers to entering the store pΓΉ to glance at nothing good, then choose a random one to ask the price, no matter how much the price is, no counteroffer, pull out the foot and leave. If the shopkeeper has something good, he will take it out of it. This hand is more thoughtful than directly asking the shopkeeper if there are any good things, after all, asking directly contains a contempt for the things that are put out.

Tang Yi heard his father talk about this hand, but the first time he used it, he was not very familiar.

In the antique shop, all kinds of people come and go, most of them are lively, the shopkeeper likes two kinds of people, one is a rich person, the other is a person who knows the rules, of course, it is better to be rich and understand the rules. Tang Yi has money or not, the shopkeeper can't see it, but he plays with one hand and knocks on the empty box, at least he is a person who understands the rules.

"Oh?" Tang Yi didn't expect that the shopkeeper really had something inside, "Of course you have to take a look at the good things, the inner room?" ”

"Okay." The long-faced boss let Tang Yi into the inner room behind the counter, and the outside was handled by the young man who was wiping the counter.

The inner room is not large, with a table of eight immortals, two chairs, and a row of large cabinets standing against the wall.

The long-faced boss pulled out a wooden sword case from the bottom of the cabinet. After staring at the sword box for a while, Tang Yi's eyes lit up. Because above the sword box, there was a white treasure light fluttering! This white is a very deep white, some close to creamy yellow, and very thick!

Opening the sword box, the long-faced boss took out a bronze sword. The white treasure light fluttered on the sword, and another trace entered Tang Yi's eyes.

However, the quality of this sword is really not good.

On the whole, the sword body is huge, the sword is about 70 cm long, the handle is about 15 cm long, the sword is about 9 cm wide, the tail end of the sword handle is in the shape of a round hoop, there are some patterns on the hilt, the sword has a middle ridge, and the two blades look gloomy and dull, and there is no edge.

Because of its large size, the sword looks clumsy, and at the same time, the sword body is covered with a layer of green patina, which is even more unsightly. The most terrible thing is that there seems to be a patch-like repair mark on the body of the sword near the sword grid, as if a bronze piece has been pasted on it, and it is also covered with rust all around.

"This bronze sword, the Spring and Autumn Ancient Sword that opened the door." The long-faced boss saw that Tang Yi had been examining the sword, and began to tell the story in a low voice: "This is sent by the Tufuzi of Central Plains Province, saying that a big tomb was opened, and they also lost one person, and when they came to deliver the goods, they lost thirty yuan and didn't do it, and in the end, I finally pressed ten yuan, and finally collected twenty yuan." ”

Block, also in jargon, means 10,000, and sometimes a piece also refers to 100 yuan. However, here, the meaning of the long-faced boss is obviously "10,000". In the antique trade, in order to prevent the partition wall from having ears or someone from setting it, this kind of jargon was derived. Of course, the long-faced shopkeeper also said this because he saw Tang Yi's understanding, of course he couldn't do it for ordinary guests, if people were more serious, wouldn't it be troublesome?

"That's it? Twenty bucks? Tang Yi showed a dissatisfied expression, but his hand grasped the hilt of the sword and picked it up. It's so heavy!

"Brother, don't play with me, this is all something that opens the door, you see this sword, it is bigger than the ordinary Spring and Autumn Ancient Sword, it is definitely a treasure." The long-faced boss looked at the hesitant expression on Tang Yi's face and hurriedly said.

"Is it good to be big? Wouldn't it be worth more to buy me a guillotine? The Spring and Autumn Ancient Sword pays attention to the beautiful shape, this sword is indeed too big and clumsy, and it is too rusty. Tang Yi let go of his hand, "Forget it, you can put it away." ”

As he spoke, Tang Yi stood up and made a gesture to leave. Of course, he didn't really want to go. If you want to get away with it, he understands, and the long-faced boss also understands, it depends on who can't hold back first.

"My brother is really anxious, if you really want to buy it, the price can be negotiated. How much money do you think you can take care of this business? The long-faced boss saw Tang Yi take three or four steps quickly, and then said.

"Forget it." Tang Yi paused slightly, then walked out of the back room and walked to the front hall of the store.

"My brother is a knowledgeable person. Antiques are not afraid to be sold cheaply, but they are afraid to sell to people who don't know the goods and don't understand the rules. In this way, I haven't opened it yet, I want to be auspicious, make a friend, and the price is eighteen yuan. The long-faced shopkeeper followed him to the antechamber and said as he walked.

At this time, the real negotiation began, at the beginning, the long-faced boss said that he would receive twenty yuan, and Tang Yi didn't take it seriously at all.

"Eight!" Tang Yi pondered for a while and spoke. According to the market situation, the average grade of the Spring and Autumn Bronze Sword, that is, within 100,000, Tang Yi heard the long-faced boss's offer, and he had already determined that he did not know the details of this sword. There is a treasure light floating, it should be more than one hundred and twenty thousand things.

And on the surface, this sword is inferior in quality and clumsy in shape, if it weren't for this thick thick white treasure light, Tang Yi would definitely not have offered this price.

"Brother, I really can't sell it at this price." The long-faced boss waved his hand.

"Then you're busy, I'll go look elsewhere." Tang Yi raised his feet and walked out.

"Hey, brother, you have to become a heart, twelve yuan, I'll take you again with this Chongning Tongbao, what do you think? It really couldn't be lower! The long-faced boss shouted behind Tang Yi. The long-faced boss is really good at doing business, and a large sum of several hundred yuan is even used as a partner.

"This quality, 80,000 yuan is a high-color head price, and you can't add a penny." When Tang Yi spoke, he didn't look back, and one foot had already stepped out of Wanxuanzhai.

"Okay, okay, I'm really convinced of you, brother, eight yuan is eight yuan, and I will give you this sword box too, okay?" The long-faced boss trotted forward and grabbed Tang Yi.

"Huh." Tang Yi couldn't help laughing, this sword box is made of elm, and it is equipped with it, which is not worth two jujubes.

"Okay. Make a friend. Deal. Tang Yi agreed. There is a POS machine in the store, so you can swipe your card directly.

This time, although it cost 80,000 at once, Tang Yi didn't have too much of a heart-pounding feeling. First, the white treasure light gave him great confidence; Second, the treasures that appeared one after another did have a certain numbing effect on his nerves.

The epey has no edge. It's just that Tang Yi hasn't fully figured out yet, what is the rarity of this ancient sword?
