Xi'an Vermilion Bird Flower Market, also known as Xi'an South Second Ring Flower Market, is invested and constructed by Xi'an Everbright Property Management Co., Ltd., which is the largest, most well-known and most complete professional flower market in Xi'an. In July 2010, the market was upgraded and opened, with a business area of about 10,000 square meters and more than 200 merchants.

Provincial and municipal orchid associations, provincial and municipal strange stone associations, and provincial and municipal ornamental fish associations live in the market.

It takes less than half an hour to take the 509 bus.

There are more people here than Xiguang Flower Market, in addition to the main flowers, green plants, and aquarium areas, the new home living area and handicraft walking block make the market more perfect. The business varieties include flowers, orchids, green plants, bonsai, strange stones, crystals, jade, mahogany furniture, porcelain, root carving, high-end ornamental fish and more than 1,000 kinds.

In fact, there are markets like this everywhere, even Yan Kyoto has places like Panjiayuan, let alone other places. Xi'an is also the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the cultural heritage is placed there, so it will naturally produce a place similar to Panjiayuan.

The Suzaku Flower Market is nothing more than a larger and more comprehensive market that combines flowers, trees, and antiques along with other ornamental items.

Just look at it, flowers, trees and bonsai are the most, but there are many strange rockeries and other gold and stone products, all kinds of handmade handicrafts are not lacking, and there is also a special place to open up exhibitions and buy and sell pets.

Not only is it much larger than the Xiguang Flower Market, but the goods are much more miscellaneous, and the price also has an incomparable advantage over other flower markets.

Along the way, there are not a few precious and valuable flowers, and there are several flowers that are priced at tens of thousands of dollars in a short distance.

Some bonsai are even more valuable, even hundreds of thousands. The more expensive the item, the more people stay in front of the onlookers, whether they buy it or not, the expensive and good-looking flowers are a kind of enjoyment for these flower friends.

Moreover, some people will mark the price very high, not to sell flowers, but just to take out their own collection to shine, favorite things can be recognized and envied by the majority of peers is a face-saving thing.

There are also people who have the intention to speculate, the price is very high, and some people want to reduce the price, but the seller always laughs and does not say anything, just quietly waiting for the evaluation of the passerby, and the reputation is beaten out first, and then the price can be sold.

In any case, as long as these flowers can be put on display, they always have their own special features, and they are worth the price, and in general, there is no indiscriminate asking price.

The most expensive bonsai is an orchid, and the onlookers say that it is a newly cultivated variety, and the price is 400,000. The money in Zhang Taiping's waist may not even be able to buy a leaf, there are many onlookers, and he is not interested in orchids for the time being, so he did not squeeze in to see what kind of flower shape and color.

Don't look at the two dollars that have just sold some medicinal herbs, but many flowers and bonsai here are unaffordable, that is, just look at the excitement and feast your eyes.

Of course, there are many handicrafts that can also make Zhang Taiping stop and watch for a while. Many of the stone scenes are still quite innovative.

There is a stone craft shop that has a treasure in the town. It is a piece of jade according to the general shape of the jade, plus a little manual chiseling peck, carved into a courtyard of ancient rich and noble families. The pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard are readily available, the carving is meticulous and true, and even the expressions on the faces of the young ladies and maids who are clustered together and laughing at the bottom of the pavilion are vivid, as if they have come to life.

The shopkeeper cleverly poured a pool of water into the small garden as a pond in the yard, and planted small lotus flowers of strange varieties, blooming small white lotus flowers the size of coins, adding a lot of life to this jade handicraft. It's as if this was a shrunken real courtyard.

The courtyard is placed in the most conspicuous place of the stone store, and you can see it when you stand at the door of the store before you enter the store.

Zhang Taiping was admiring the jasper cabbage placed at the door outside the store. The milky white jade is carved into cabbage, and it is dotted with some turquoise insects that eat cabbage. The "dish" and "wealth" of cabbage have the same sound, not to mention the pleasing appearance, but the meaning is even more beautiful. Basically, it is a must-have thing at the door of every jade shop, and it has the meaning of attracting wealth and treasure.

Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I saw the courtyard carved from jade, so I walked into the store out of curiosity.

There happened to be someone in the store who was looking at jade, and when he saw that the boss wanted to separate and greet him, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Boss, you are busy with yourself, I'm just coming in and taking a look." So the boss continued to be busy introducing the price to the guests, and Zhang Taiping walked around the store by himself to watch the decorations in the store and the jade products placed on the shelves.

I took a closer look at the jade courtyard, and it was seventy or eighty centimeters square. In fact, the texture of such a large piece of jade is not a good and well-known jade. Zhang Taiping thought about it, if it is a good jade, such a large piece is a treasure, plus such a fine carving, the price is difficult to estimate, and it will not be placed here, I am afraid that it will be collected a long time ago. At that time, it will be hidden as much as possible, rather than being placed in a conspicuous place as it is now, lest others will not know about it.

Therefore, the main highlight of this piece is in the craftsmanship of carving, which can be described as ingenious, and it is not an exaggeration to turn decay into magic. If it is just such a piece of jade, no matter how good or even a little rotten the quality is, it will not be worth much, and it will be 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to death. But now, after the magical carving of I don't know which master, the price immediately increased dozens of times.

I remember that I once identified a piece of chicken blood jadeite in the treasure appreciation program of the central ten sets. The jadeite is half a meter tall all over, and the whole body is blood-red, as if it has just been sprinkled with chicken blood. Similar to this piece, that piece is to see the whole jadeite as a mountain, spiraling up at the same time on the jadeite without blood-red places carved out of many scattered houses and pavilions, the carving is also exquisite and magical, the eaves hang corners, the autumn is complete.

It's just that the main material is valuable, and the good carver highlights the red color of the jadeite, and the final price is more than 18 million.

This piece cannot be compared with the bloodstone in terms of material, but it is superior in carving. Therefore, this piece is mainly sold for carvers and the ingenuity of carving. Zhang Taiping's preliminary estimate is around 600,000.

After a while, the boss was busy before he came over to entertain Zhang Taiping with a smile. Judging by the smile on his face, the last customer must have made him a lot of money.

"Which one does the gentleman fancie? The shop is full of authentic Lantian jade. ”

Zhang Taiping shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you think I'm a person who can afford jade?" ”

"Jokefully, clothing or something doesn't necessarily judge a person's purchasing power. Nowadays, many people are very low-key, and they can't see it from the outside. ”

"I don't really have that purchasing power right now."

The boss still smiled and said: "You can't sell it now, but it means that you can sell it later, right?" It's good to take a look at it now, and if you want to buy it in the future, you can buy it at any time. ”

Zhang Taiping smiled and didn't speak. The boss explained the jade in the shop.

"My store mainly sells Lantian jade, of course, there are other jades, but there are not too many, Lantian jade can be complete."

Lantian Yu Zhang Taiping as a native of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province has heard of it, and he is also a person who has experienced the tempering of the college entrance examination, and he still remembers some poems.

When introduced to the Jade Courtyard, the boss obviously brought some pride to his tone.

"This one was carved by my grandfather himself, and it has been passed down to me as a family heirloom."

Zhang Taiping asked curiously, "This is the most valuable in your store?" ”

"That's not it, I still have a better jade quality than this, but the reason why this piece is a treasure of the town store is because he was carved by my grandfather, and it has some commemorative value."

"Does it sell or not?"

"As long as the price is right, it can be sold. After all, we are a jade shop and a businessman, and there is nothing that cannot be sold. As for the meaning, as long as you buy a good price, it is the best affirmation of the carver. ”

"And what's the list price?"

"Is that interesting, brother?" The owner of the jade shop asked in surprise.

"I like it, but I can't afford it yet, I just understand it." Zhang Taiping replied.

"The initial price is 1.2 million, and if anyone is sincere, it can still be negotiated."

"Oh" Zhang Taiping estimated that the boss had inflated the price a lot, and it was a sky-high asking price, so he didn't dwell on this issue anymore. Also asked.

"Where can you get this little lotus flower in the middle?" That's the real purpose.

"This is a relatively rare type of lotus, which is not common in other places, but it can still be found in this market. It's on the stalls that specialize in selling exotic seeds or small items. ”

Since the goal was achieved, and he didn't think about selling any jade devices, there was no need to continue to stay here, so he left the jade stone shop after a few words with the boss.

After going out, he went straight to those small stalls that sold strange items, and it didn't take long for him to find a place to sell small lotus seeds. There are not only small lotus seeds on the stall, but also thousand-year-old lotus seeds, the boss strongly recommends them to Zhang Taiping, but Zhang Taiping just bought small lotus seeds.

Buying small lotus seeds is just a pure hobby to like, as for what thousand-year-old lotus seeds or hundred-year-old ancient lotus seeds have nothing to do with him, so he didn't pay attention to it, bought small lotus seeds and left.

I didn't walk a few steps before I saw a group of people gathered around, pointing to the circle and talking about it.

Zhang Taiping was extremely tall, and he could see what was happening in the crowd when he stood behind.

It turned out that someone was selling a pot of osmanthus flowers.
