Chapter 69: The Cloth Bag Monk
"Keep asking, there will always be a time to ask!"
After the car entered the village, Liu Yi saw a car, and after seeing this car, Liu Yi's face darkened, this car was not someone else's, it was Xiao Wu's.
"Underestimate people, huh?"
Xiao Yanran pursed her lips and smiled: "My brother studied logic at the beginning, and at the same time he is relatively proficient in probability, you can know that it was collected in the village, there is no reason why he should not know." ”
Liu Yi really underestimated Xiao Wu, and always thought that Xiao Wu was the kind of second-generation official, who didn't have much ability, but now it seems that he was wrong, and it was outrageous.
After Xiao Wu saw Liu Yiche coming over and stopped, he was full of spirits: "Let's go, my brother will let you see what you can do!" ”
"Have you heard about Yuping?"
Liu Yi's heart jumped, he wouldn't have found out so soon, right? If it's really in this village, it's really easy to find out.
"No, go with my brother, let you see my brother's methods."
Xiao Wu did have some skills, and inquired about antiques, but it was not a jade screen, but something related to Buddhism.
Most people in the north believe in Taoism, but there are also those who believe in Buddhism, and now they pay attention to freedom of belief, and as long as it is not a cult, no one cares.
The house that Xiao Wu took Liu Yi to was a believer in Buddhism, and there were a lot of things about Buddha in the room, such as portraits, statues, incense, monk clothes, etc.
"You can watch it casually, if you like it, tell me about it!"
No matter what you believe in, there is one thing that is even more important than faith in society now, and that is money, and if you don't have money, you can't do anything, and temples have to raise donations, let alone believers.
After Xiao Wu entered the room, he didn't look at anything else, but fell in love with the bronze Buddha, Xiao Wu pointed to the bronze Buddha and said, "Uncle, how to sell the bronze Buddha?" Tell me a price, and I'll buy it if I think it's suitable. ”
Liu Yi looked at the bronze Buddha for a while, and deduced a little from the knowledge in the treasure book given by Sun Lao that this bronze Buddha was from the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
Perspective eye observed, the color air mass on it is right, the red air mass, is a sign of the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Yi now generally knows the division of a single color, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, each color is divided into three kinds, these three correspond to three hundred years, the earliest period that Liu Yi can explore should be the Han Dynasty, a little longer, Liu Yi can't explore, the perspective ability seems to have not reached that level, the long time can only rely on his own eyesight, the big red corresponds to about three hundred years ago, at that time should be in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
"I don't know the price, this bronze Buddha was bought back from a temple with no incense in the south, thousands of yuan, roughly compared to the price of copper, hehe, a few people came to see it some time ago, and the highest was 50,000!"
The meaning of what the bald uncle said is very clear, don't think about it if it is less than 50,000.
"It's still uncle, you can make a price, I'll buy it if it's suitable, if it exceeds the bottom line in my heart, then forget it!"
Xiao Wu asked the bald uncle to continue saying that his bid would not be less than 50,000.
"Eighty-eight?"
The bald uncle was a little uncertain when he spoke, wondering if he was asking for a high or low price.
"Eighty-eight? Are you sure? ”
"The eighty thousand? No matter how low it is, it can't be, right? ”
The bald uncle's tone was full of uncertainty, and Liu Yi could see from this tone that the bald uncle had no opinions, and he was not in charge of this family, otherwise he wouldn't have this tone.
"It's done!"
Xiao Wu directly took out eight stacks of money from his bag that had not yet torn off the seal, handed it to the bald uncle, and after the count was clear, Xiao Wu moved the bronze Buddha out.
"Liu Yi, how is it, I should have missed this bronze Buddha, right?"
Xiao Wu was a little unsure, but seeing that Liu Yi didn't make any other moves at that time, it showed that the value of the things he bought must have been missed, otherwise Liu Yi would make some moves to remind him, or turn his head to look at something else, or pretend to pack up his things and turn around and leave.
"Bronze lacquer gold, single casting, there is a common Maitreya in the Central Plains statue, game sitting posture, big belly and laughing, also known as the cloth bag monk."
Liu Yi was interrupted by Xiao Wu at the beginning: "Liu Yi, I don't want to hear the story of Maitreya Buddha, I've heard it countless times, just say when and how much it costs!" ”
Liu Yi glanced at Xiao Wu: "How to identify some things if you don't figure them out?" Well, this bronze Maitreya Buddha is from the middle of the Qing Dynasty. ”
"Game sitting posture, pot-bellied image, smile is often open, the left hand grasps the robe, holds a money bag, the right hand is placed on the leg, holds a string of Buddhist beads, the lower is a semicircular pedestal, the pedestal is engraved with cotton ground ornamentation, the whole statue is bronze texture, the image is vivid, the clothes are smooth, the pot-bellied Maitreya is at ease, the smile is always open, and the image of the pot-bellied Maitreya is extremely in place."
Liu Yi stared at the statue of Maitreya Buddha and muttered, then raised his head and said: "The price of this thirty-centimeter-high bronze Maitreya Buddha should be two or three hundred thousand, and it will not be lower than this price." ”
Liu Yi was also worried, although he was not so idiotic in the appraisal of bronzes now, but this valuation, bronzes are really not good at, he has a large range of valuations, two or three hundred thousand, if it is porcelain, jade or calligraphy and painting, he can probably estimate a level that is very close to the auction price.
"It's true, it's not in vain that I sacrifice my hue!"
Xiao Wu happily put the Buddha statue into the car, this was the first time he had picked up a leak, and it was not too small.
"Sacrificial hue?"
Xiao Yanran glanced at Xiao Wu, and Liu Yi turned his eyes wildly, and saw a little girl nearby, about ten years old, staring intently at Xiao Wu as a nymphomaniac, and he also understood what was going on.
"Xiao Wu, have you found any news about Yuping in your sacrificial hue?"
"Don't, you don't share your news with me, you want the news I get, no way, Liu Yi, you keep inquiring, I'm leaving, oh haha!"
Looking at Xiao Wu's arrogant laughter, Liu Yi was a little worried, should he also sacrifice his hue? But I'm not as handsome as Xiao Wu, but it shouldn't be anything, my bearing is higher, and I should be able to ask something from the girl's mouth, right?
"What do you want? Do you think you're my brother, and you still want to use a beautiful man when you're so frustrated? ”
Am I frustrated? Liu Yi pursed his lips, although we are not heartthrobs, we are quite handsome, how can we say that it is a frustration.
Liu Yi saw that Xiao Wu's car drove out of the village, and he simply drove out, Xiao Wu obviously didn't hear anything in this village, even if it was sacrificing hue, he didn't inquire, then there was definitely no news of the jade screen in this village.
Liu Yi originally planned to go to the police station to inquire about the family surnamed Zhao, the last time the city bureau was in trouble, he had the phone number of the director of the city bureau, but he could only use one person at the beginning, and he couldn't use other forces, if he used other forces, Yuping would have been found out by the three old men a long time ago, and he wouldn't be able to take his turn at all.
Liu Yi plans to call the phone of the nearby village chief, this phone should be able to find out, after thinking about it, Liu Yi gave up, this is not a way, if you call and ask, this matter will also be in an uproar, maybe there will be a moth in the middle, which does not match Liu Yi's original intention.
So how do you look for it? Liu Yi regretted that he wanted to commit suicide, he just wanted to ask the vendor for his mobile phone number, if he had the mobile phone number in hand, he would not be so embarrassed, just inquire directly or let the hawker take it, where is it so troublesome?
"Can't figure out where to find it?"
Xiao Yanran was a little contemptuous, and her brain couldn't die like this.
