Hongji Road is actually a street outside the antique city, this street is not the main street, but the village street, but because the main gate of the antique city is on this street, so this street is also very famous in Zhongdu.

Since it is Saturday, this street is already full of people, both sides of the road are full of stalls, ancient books, rare books, carved stone calligraphy and paintings, flowers, insects, birds and beasts, everything, plus the sellers, it is like a vegetable market.
There are too many stalls, and most of them are similar, plus the picture in the dream is also a little blurry, even intermittent, Chen Ran can't tell which stall it is, he knows that he can only find it by feeling, but obviously there is not much time left for himself, and he has to buy things before that person.
Chen Ran came to the door of a hot pot restaurant first, about 100 meters away from the gate of the antique city, he stood at the door of the hot pot restaurant and recalled the scene in his dream, and the familiar signboard he saw at that time was the signboard of the hot pot restaurant.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Ran's nervous and excited mind slowly calmed down, and then he followed his feelings towards the south of Hongji Road, and he reviewed the surrounding environment while thinking about the scene in his dream.
"Superior Tieguanyin ......" A shout came, Chen Ran's heart suddenly moved, he remembered that there was also a stall selling tea like this in his dream, and he also kept shouting, and the person in the dream also went up and pinched a small handful to take a look.
Chen Ran looked back, but he didn't find the person in the dream, but found that although there were three stalls selling tea, only one was selling Tieguanyin.
The stall owner selling tea was a young man with a black hat, who was also the familiar figure in Chen Ran's dream.
"Little brother, do you want to bring some back?" When the young man saw Chen Ran stop in front of the stall, he greeted him warmly, although Chen Ran had messy hair and ordinary clothes, but in the antique market, even a poor person could not be underestimated.
Chen Ran was pressed for time, shook his head, and walked forward.
Next, Chen Ran found three or four more familiar stalls, but to his disappointment, he never found the familiar person in his dream.
Just as Chen Ran was about to turn around and look for another trip, suddenly, his gaze seemed to be frozen, staring closely at a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who was walking towards him with a white plastic bag in his hand.
After being in a daze for a few seconds, Chen Ran came back to his senses and walked towards the boy with a whole heart.
The boy turned around and walked towards the street before Chen Ran arrived, and Chen Ran's eyes followed the direction he turned around, and suddenly, a familiar scene came into view......
This is a stall selling ceramics, and the reason why Chen Ran didn't find it before was because the stall was not on the street, but a little inside.
The stall is small, and the stall owner is a middle-aged man in an overcoat, and the boy is his son, who brings him lunch.
While looking at this stall, Chen Ran also saw the familiar figure in the dream, this is an old man in his fifties and sixties, wearing a casual tunic suit, he is squatting in front of this stall at the moment and watching intently.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ran immediately walked to the stall, and looked towards the familiar corner at a glance, where there was a lonely ceramic jar, which was said to be a ceramic jar, but in fact it was better to say that it was a piggy bank.
At the same time that Chen Ran saw this ceramic jar, the old man in the tunic also noticed this ceramic jar, he didn't think much about it, but he felt that it was too far away to see clearly, so he stretched out his hand to take it.
Unexpectedly, before he could get it, he suddenly stretched out a hand from the side and grabbed the ceramic jar in his hand.
It wasn't until he grabbed the ceramic jar in his hand that Chen Ran's heart was completely relaxed, and before he knew it, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and he was almost missing.
"Little brother, have you taken a fancy to this?" It is said that Chen Ran is very unruly in doing this, but the old man in the tunic did not get angry, but looked at Chen Ran with interest, in fact, the main reason why he was not angry was that he could see at a glance that this ceramic jar was just a handicraft.
"I look at this thing like a piggy bank and want to buy it and play with it, you are always interested, why don't you take a look at it first?" Chen Ran pretended to be a little embarrassed and said, but he said so, but he shook the ceramic jar lightly without attracting attention, and a crisp sound came, making him say secretly, sure enough!
The old man in the tunic shook his head: "Hehe, you can take it and play." ”
"Boss, can you ask for a price?" Chen Ran looked at the stall owner who was eating.
The stall owner had already noticed the scene just now, but Chen Ran opened his mouth with a pair of insiders, which made him hesitate for a moment before he smiled and said: "One price, five hundred and eighty yuan!" ”
As soon as this price came out, Chen Ran and the old man in the tunic both frowned, and Chen Ran's heart suddenly tightened, he remembered to buy this thing, but he forgot that he only had more than fifty yuan left in his pocket.
Although the old man in the dream only paid ten yuan, the price of this thing is not good.
"Not very reliable!" Chen Ran frowned and put down the ceramic jar with a gesture.
The stall owner glanced at the old man and said unhurriedly: "The lowest price is five hundred yuan." ”
The old man in the tunic frowned again, and then he understood the stall owner's calculation, he snorted, stood up and turned to leave.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ran felt a little guilty in his heart, but he needed this money more than the old man, and this money also had a great meaning to him, so he could only silently say sorry to the old man, hoping that he would have the opportunity to compensate the other party in the future.
As soon as the old man left, Chen Ran became more determined, put down the ceramic jar and turned around to leave, but he didn't take two steps, but he was stopped by the stall owner again: "Hey, little brother, don't go, the price is easy to say, if you ask for a suitable price, I will give it to you, how about it?" ”
After some bargaining, Chen Ran still paid 25 yuan to take down the ceramic jar, which is more than double that of the old man, but this can't be helped, the antique industry is like this, and the price is generally not specifically positioned.
……
Without eating lunch, Chen Ran hurried back to his residence as fast as he could. And after returning to the residence, Chen Ran threw the ceramic jar on the bed, and never looked at it again, he knew that what he needed most at the moment was not to open the ceramic jar, but to calm down!
The moment Chen Ran picked up the carving knife, he forgot about the ceramic jar, Liang Bo, time, and qiē...... His expression was so focused, with a hint of masochistic concentration, he didn't want to let himself have any slackness, in fact, he also knew that he was afraid, afraid that the ceramic jar was not what he imagined......
"Bang Bang ......"
I don't know how long it took, but there was a sudden knock on the door, and Chen Ran was suddenly awakened.
After being in a daze for a minute, Chen Ran straightened his mind and opened the door, and it was the landlord standing outside the door.
"Aunt Luo, I forgot that today is the time to pay the rent, and now it's dark, do you think it's okay to withdraw the money for you tomorrow?" Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to the landlord.
The devil believes you.
The landlord pursed his lips, glanced into Chen Ran's house, and then said nonchalantly: "Forget the rent, you can't live here in the future, haven't you read the notice posted downstairs?" If you want to demolish and rebuild, within two days, all of them will be moved, and if you can't move away, you will bear the consequences! ”
Chen Ran looked at the landlord with a little surprise, he didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing.
After the landlord left, Chen Ran closed the door, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little heavier, this can be described as adding snow to the snow, and it is not easy to find such a cheap old house again.
Looking at the beautiful ceramic jar in his hand, Chen Ran straightened his mind, tried his best to calm down, and was silent for two or three minutes, he flipped over the ceramic jar with both hands, so that the bottom was facing up.
This ceramic jar is actually a ceramic piggy bank with a mouth on the bottom, but it seems to be sealed with glue.
He shook it with his hand, only to hear a hula sound, the reason why he bought this ceramic jar was not that the ceramic jar was valuable, but that something kept in the ceramic jar was very valuable.
Casually took a knife from the work table, and Chen Ran scraped off the glue that sealed the mouth. With a snapping sound, the stopper was bounced away by Chen Ran's knife, and a small round hole appeared in front of him.
Although Chen Ran was very calm on the surface, he could feel his heart beating "thumping", as if he was about to jump out of his throat, and he covered his mouth with his hand with some urgency and turned the ceramic jar upside down.
With a hula, a beautiful bright red flashed, and a cool thing fell into Chen Ran's hands.
Chen Ran's eyes lit up suddenly, although he had already known this result from the dream, but when he looked at this thing, his heart was still like overturning the five-flavor bottle for a while, and the sweet and sour came to his heart.
Carefully putting this thing on the bed, Chen Ran walked to the bathroom and washed his face with cold tap water, and his mood was soothed.
Chen Ran is no stranger to this thing, it is also a jade pendant, but it is obviously of a very high grade, although he has seen a lot of pictures on the Internet, but he has not seen it with his own eyes.
The jade is carved from natural Hetian seed jade, the jade seed is moist and bright, moist like oil, with a gorgeous red skin, exquisite and gorgeous, and the back also has a gold skin, which makes people love it.
Jade is generally divided into nephrite and jadeite, and jadeite is jadeite. Nephrite jade is divided into white jade, topaz, green jade, jasper, and black jade due to different colors, among which Hetian jade is the most famous, and the raw stone material often used by Chen Ran is Nanyang jade.
Nanyang jade is produced in Dushan, Nanyang City, Central Plains Province, and is known as one of the four famous jades in China, however, compared with the price of Hetian jade and jadeite, the price of Nanyang jade is still at a low level.
At present, on the market, a good jade bracelet or Hetian jade bracelet is priced at hundreds of thousands, or even millions or tens of millions, but the price of a single jade bracelet with similar quality is only tens of thousands of yuan, a difference of dozens or even hundreds of times.
Among nephrite, Hetian jade is the most famous, correspondingly, and the most expensive.
And this old birthday pendant is carved from Hetian jade!
