Chapter 7 The Jade Cicada of the Han Dynasty

After resting for a night, early the next morning, Tang Dashao hurried out again, this time he did not choose to be a bus, but called a taxi and went straight to the old front door.

I paid for the taxi and got out of the car, seeing that it was no different from yesterday, when a voice came from behind.

"Little brother, come here to shop for things again, come to me to see, I just got a batch of new things last night, come and pick and choose, is there anything that can be seen."

Tang Dashao turned his head to look at it and smiled, it was the vendor he met yesterday.

"You're not afraid that I'll pick up the leak in your place again?" Tang Dashao said with a smile.

"Pick it up casually, it's your ability to pick up leaks, after you left yesterday, I was in this promotion, and the business was a lot better, and I made a little profit." The vendor owner said with a smile.

The vendor owner was so polite, Tang Dashao naturally wanted to give some face, and used his right index finger to flick the objects on the stall as usual, but he didn't even have a single eye, and said with some disappointment: "Didn't you say that you got a batch of new things?" Is that all? ”

"Why, there are so many things that you don't have a eye on?" The stall owner said.

Tang Dashao didn't speak, just nodded, it's either shoddy or some modern handicrafts, my brother is here to pick up leaks, not to buy things at market prices.

If the stall owner knows Tang Dashao's thoughts, I don't know if he will be angry, is the leak so easy to pick up? He had been in this big front door for several years, and he hadn't seen it a few times, and he had been picked up in his stall and a bigger girl had been put on a sedan chair - for the first time.

Seeing Tang Dashao's reaction, the stall owner knew that if he didn't take out something real, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep this guest.

The stall owner looked left and right, and then quietly took out a small thumb-like jade cicada from the empty bag, the surface of the jade cicada was blurred with a layer of earthy yellow, and the color was dull, and it seemed that no one had played with it for a long time.

The stall owner handed it over to Tang Dashao and said, "The things that give birth to the pit were just obtained yesterday." ”

As soon as he heard the shengkeng, Tang Dashao came up with the antique terms he saw yesterday, the so-called shengkeng refers to the things that have just been unearthed, looking at the stall owner's cautious expression, I am afraid that the origin of this jade cicada is not very bright.

Sure enough, under the touch of the index finger, information about the jade cicada appeared.

"The jade cicada of the Western Han Dynasty, alias, jade nine tricks. Material: Hetian jade. Purpose: Burial goods, this jade cicada is an earplug used to plug the ears of the deceased. Identification: Due to the long-term burial in the ground and the mutual integration and penetration of loess and flesh, the double-colored jade cicada was formed, and the value was doubled. ”

Tang Dashao listened to a chill, it turned out to be a dead man's funeral goods used to stuff his ears, but the double-colored jade cicada doubled its value? It just so happened that there was an introduction to the funeral jade of the Han Dynasty in the antique books I read yesterday, and this thing can be worth a little money.

After a careful look, the appearance of the earthy yellow is like a jade cicada, but the red is not much, just slightly red, not carefully look at it can not be seen at all, there is an ancient seal in the corner of the jade cicada, the slight red has greatly increased the value of the jade cicada .......

The "Nine Orifices" refers to the eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, gang door and genitals, and the ancients believed that blocking the "Nine Orifices" can prevent the essence of the human body from escaping and immortalizing the corpse.

At this time, the gray-white mist in Tang Dashao's fingers began to move, Tang Dashao felt that there seemed to be something in the jade that attracted the gray mist, and under curiosity, Tang Dashao pinched the jade cicada with his index finger and thumb, pretending to watch carefully, but in fact, his attention was all on the gray-white mist of his index finger.

There was indeed something in the jade cicada, and Tang Dashao, the thin golden line of his index finger, felt that there was a misty mist in the jade cicada, which was very similar to his own gray-white mist.

Can you suck that gas out of the jade cicada? This question suddenly popped up in Tang Dashao's mind.

A miraculous thing happened, the mist in the jade cicada slowly flowed into the index finger from the jade cicada, and then merged into the gray mist, and the mist consumed by the previous identification of things was completely restored, and the golden thin line in the mist suddenly grew a little, and the gray-white mist also turned white with a hint of light red, and the jade cicada did not change after being absorbed by the mist.

Tang Dashao was overjoyed in his heart, since he got the ability, he was thinking about whether his ability could be upgraded, it seems that there is a mysterious thing in this piece of jade, which is beneficial to his ability, but I don't know if all the jade is beneficial to his ability, and he must buy this thing.

"Sure enough, it's a thing that gives birth to a pit, and this thing is used to plug the ears of the dead, which is a bit unlucky." Tang Dashao deliberately belittled Jade Cicada Dao.

The stall owner couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up when he heard Tang Dashao's words, and sure enough, the connoisseur knew if there was one as soon as he made a move, and when he received it, he said that it was taken out of the dead man.

But the antique thing, that's it, there are a lot of things unearthed in the tombs of the dead, and no one cares if it's bad or not, the other party just wants to bargain.

"Hehe, it's worthy of being an expert, and it can be seen at a glance that it's genuine, if it weren't for an expert like you, I wouldn't have taken it out. In this way, you take away 20,000 pieces of what is in the pit. The stall owner said.

"Twenty thousand yuan is high, this jade nine aperture plug is also exquisite, the mouth is the most precious, the texture is also the best, the texture of the thing in the ear plug is generally not very good." Tang Dashao said disdainfully.

"Hehe, you still know more, if it's a jade cicada in your mouth, 20,000 yuan, then I'll lose my old capital." The stall owner laughed.

"Ten thousand." Tang Dashao was not ambiguous, and directly cut off half of it.

"10,000 is too little, this is an ancient jade cicada that was buried with a long history, and the minimum is 18,000." The stall owner's head shook like a rattle.

"Ten thousand and two, although it is an ancient jade, after all, it is taken out of the dead who knows if there are germs, curse." Tang Dashao belittled the jade cicada with a nonchalant face.

"Okay, my big boss, fifteen thousand, I really can't be less, otherwise I'll sell it to someone else." The stall owner said with a sad face like a dead old lady.

"Okay, fifteen thousand is fifteen." Tang Dashao looked at the other party's table and knew that 15,000 was almost the bottom line of the other party.

It just so happens that the money won yesterday and the gambling winnings have not been deposited in the bank, and they are all in their pockets, a bulging bag.

He took out a stack of them, counted fifty from the other stack, and handed one hundred and fifty little red fish to the stall owner, and exchanged them for thumb-like earplugs.

"You're just this jade cicada here? Anything else? "Tang Da Shaodao, this jade cicada was picked up from the dead man, and the pit was unearthed, someone must have robbed the tomb, it can't be only this jade cicada.

The stall owner smiled bitterly: "I am also a small trader, and I can receive this jade cicada is already taken care of by a friend, and the real good things have entered the black market, how can it be our turn." ”

Tang Dashao's heart moved, black market?

"There's still a black market here?"

"Of course, there has always been no shortage of things in the black market, and the black market in the sea market is the center of more than ten cities in the vicinity, and there are many things of unknown origin, all of which are sold through the guò black market, and then enter the hands of those rich people who play with the collection to become a collection, and then find a regular way to enter the auction house openly." The stall owner said.

"Where's the black market? Can I get in? Tang Da Shaodao.

"The black market does not have a fixed location, for the sake of safety, the people who organize the black market are all notified at short notice, very strict, only those who know each other can bring people in, it is full of cash transactions, no credit cards, no bank transfers, the threshold for entry is very high, and the minimum is to prepare a million cash, I also heard from a friend, I don't know if it's right." The stall owner said.

Tang Dashao grinned, one million cash, or the minimum threshold ......, antiques are really something that only rich people can play, but there is no such thing at home, and it is estimated that he can't afford to play it.

Although the Tang family was also a multimillionaire at that time, most of them were fixed assets, and it was really difficult to take out a million cash.

If Tang Dashao dared to ask him Lao Tzu for one million and said that he was participating in a black market and buying antiques, he Lao Tzu would probably be able to break one of his legs, and the loser would not be so defeated.

The ability appraisal said that the value of the double-colored jade cicada doubled, and Tang Dashao didn't know how much it was worth, so I am afraid that he would have to find someone to identify it.

Immediately, Tang Dashao remembered Tang Lao, but it was a bit strange to take a jade cicada off a dead man and find someone to identify it, Tang Dashao estimated that it would be more than 100,000 at most, which was nothing in the eyes of people like Tang Lao.

Forget it, it's better to keep it in your hands first, and then make a move when you have the chance, or see if there are any leaks in the market to pick up.

The most important thing is to make sure that all jade helps with your abilities.

Coincidentally, there is a stone mark in front, which is full of all kinds of ornaments carved from stone, including jade.

Entering the Stone Record, there are two welcoming ladies, dressed in red cheongsam, the skirt below is slit almost to the root of the thigh, and the snow white that catches the eye makes many customers look straight, of course, these can not be placed in the eyes of Tang Dashao, who has been in a hundred battles.

There are all kinds of stone carving ornaments in the stone record, the materials are different, jade, agate, tiger gold stone and so on are varied, the only drawback is that the jewelry made is too small to hang around the neck.

Tang Dashao entered the stone record and walked towards the jade area, all the ornaments were hung on the shelves with red ropes, and they were chosen by others, which was convenient for Tang Dashao.

The right hand pinched the dragon-shaped pendant, and the identification results appeared instantly.

"Dragon-shaped pendant, made of Qinghai jade, general texture, machine qì polishing, assembly line system, production and November 20, 1999. Identification: Toys worn by children, with very low collection value. ”
