Chapter 149: Peachwood Sword
In this way, in the prosperous era of Qianlong, there were some relatively large bronze coins, because there were relatively few supervised at that time, they could only be a special currency, just like our modern society will also issue some commemorative currency, which are some symbolic currency.
This big copper coin is a symbol of Qianlong's prosperity! It's collectible, little brother, don't miss your chance! β
This old man seems to be a businessman, and after he said this, his copper coin is really a treasure!
"Uncle, what you said is very good, it seems that I should buy this copper coin!" Gao Yang listened to the boss's story and thought it was very interesting, regardless of whether he was making it up or not, but after all, it made people feel comfortable listening to it.
"Okay, little brother, then I won't ask for a price, just make friends with you! In this case, a whole number is given. The old man held out a finger as he spoke.
"One hundred!" Gao Yang wondered, did the old man mean that he was going to sell it for a hundred yuan! "Haha, little brother, you can joke with me! This is Emperor Sheng's money! How can it only be worth a hundred! I'm out of a thousand! β
The boss seemed to be asking for a thousand, but when he heard that Gao Yang thought he was going to pay a hundred yuan, he was a little unhappy.
"A thousand! Well, it's not expensive! It's so collectible, it's only a thousand yuan, it's really not expensive! Sorry, I misunderstood. After Gao Yang finished speaking, he took out a wad of money from his body and gave it to the old man.
"You count!" After Gao Yang finished speaking, he sent the money to the old man.
"Okay, you have taken Emperor Sheng's money." The boss stretched out his hand to take the money, and at the same time handed the big copper coin to Gao Yang.
"Good. One hand for money and one hand for goods. Gao Yang smiled and took the big copper coin.
"Emperor Sheng's money! Interesting, uncle. How do you say that this money is called Emperor Sheng's money! Gao Yang looked at the big copper coin, and at the same time thought that the old man called this copper coin Emperor Sheng just now. He didn't understand.
"Ah, Emperor Sheng's money, which means that in history, some copper coins during the reign of some emperors in the prosperous era, referred to as Emperor Sheng's money." The old man explained to Gao Yang with a smile while counting the money.
"Hmmm! Interesting! I spent a thousand worth it. When Gao Yang heard the old man's words, he was also very happy, and he wanted to get such a copper coin with such cultural value, which was only 1,000 yuan, which was really not expensive.
"Hey, little brother. Let me ask you more, did you buy this copper coin from me for your own collection! I'm still planning to change hands soon! The old man counted the money, and then looked at Gao Yang with a smile and asked.
"This, let's not change hands for the time being, I want to put it at home for luck, since it is Emperor Sheng's money, it will definitely be lucky."
Doing good luck is also a feng shui term, that is, using some feng shui instruments. Put it at home to change your bad luck.
Gao Yang didn't plan to sell this copper coin, but just wanted to take it back and study it carefully. Because, he used his ability to see that this copper coin had a mysterious pale green aura. It made him curious and wanted to look into it.
"Oops! You have to be lucky. In this way, the little brother also knows some feng shui knowledge. "It seems. This old man also knows some knowledge of feng shui, and when he heard Gao Yang say that he wanted to put this copper coin at home. He knew that Gao Yang should be a little feng shui master.
"Ah, I'm just a little interested in Feng Shui, and I've read some books, but I can't compare with a real Feng Shui master!"
Of course, Gao Yang doesn't casually say in front of others how amazing his feng shui skills are. Not to mention that he is a member of the Minghai Feng Shui Association and a member of the Yixue Research Association. If that's the case, don't scare the old man!
"It's good to keep it in your own home, well, it's a good note. Ay! Well, since you're going to be lucky, why don't you buy me one more thing? β
The old man seems to be really a businessman! As soon as he heard Gao Yang say that he wanted to use this Emperor Sheng's money to keep it at home, he wanted to sell another thing to Gao Yang.
"What else is there to be a baby! Let me see. Gao Yang listened to the old man's words, and was also a little curious, because, he had already seen it just now, except for the mysterious aura on the big copper coin, there were no other copper coins and other antiques.
"It's a peachwood sword! Look, it's a treasure too! As he spoke, the old man took out a peachwood sword that was more than half a meter long from the small wooden box beside him.
The old man handed the sword to Gao Yang. Gao Yang took the peachwood sword with his hand.
Gao Yang saw that this was an all-wooden sword, that is, the entire sword was made of peach wood. Not only is the body of the sword made of peachwood, but even the scabbard is made of peachwood, and the whole sword has nothing else, it is all carved from a single piece of peachwood. There are many decorative moire patterns on the outside of the scabbard, and the carving of the whole sword is really good, and it seems that it is from the hand of a certain master wood carver.
Gao Yang has seen the appearance and feels that this peachwood sword is very beautiful, which makes people feel like they can't put it down.
He looked outside, then gently pulled the blade out of its sheath.
The sword body is more sophisticated, completely imitating the appearance of a real sword. The blade of the sword is very smooth on the outside, and it seems that it has been specially processed. Although it is a wooden sword, it still has a sharp blade, and there is a wind groove in the middle, if you don't look at the scabbard, just look at the sword body, and think that this is a real sword!
"Boss, this sword is good! I don't know how to sell it! Gao Yang really liked it when he saw it, if nothing else, just because it was well-made and meticulous, and its beautiful appearance was enough to make him want to buy it.
"This one! It's still this number! The old man held out a finger again.
"Is it still a thousand?" Gao Yang looked at the old man with some surprise. To be honest, Gao Yang has already seen that the copper coin just now is different, and it can be regarded as an antiquity. Give the old man a thousand dollars, and he doesn't feel a loss.
But this peachwood sword is just a modern handicraft, and the old man still has a thousand, isn't it too expensive!
"What's the matter, little brother, it's too expensive!" The old man seemed to be a little unhappy, and his face suddenly turned cloudy.
"Uncle, you said that Emperor Sheng's money just now is worth a thousand, and it is reasonable. But your peachwood sword is just a modern handicraft, and you still need a thousand, isn't it a bit expensive! β
Gao Yang thought, although this sword is very beautifully carved, after all, it is a modern handicraft, it can be worth two hundred yuan, which is already a lot, how can it be worth one thousand!
"Little brother, you don't understand this, in the antique industry, although it is said that the price of authentic products in ancient times is higher, it does not mean that all modern things are worthless. The works of modern masters of craftsmanship are just as valuable.
My peachwood sword is the work of the most famous contemporary carving master, Ghost Hand Peach. Ghost Hand Peach, have you heard of it! β
The old man began to brag again, it seems that if you can't brag about antiques, then don't do it. If you want to do it, you won't be able to do it. To do this line of work, you have to be first-class.
Not only must you be good-mouthed, but your ability to make up stories must also be first-class. Do you have to be able to make up a story for your objects at any time, so that you can fool customers?
"Ghost Hand Peach? Haven't heard of it! Gao Yang looked at the old man and shook his head.
Gao Yang was telling the truth, he really hadn't heard of this person. Because, there is a big saying that interlacing is like a mountain! He studied Feng Shui. And Ghost Hand Peach is a 'carpenter'. It's a master carver, not a line, and of course it's not easy to know.
Also, the modern society is the age of stars. Only people in the profession of actor can become famous and achieve the well-known Cheng dΓΉ.
And other industries, although there are also some masters. It can also be said to be a celebrity, but it can only be famous in the circle. Out of the circle, probably no one knows who he is.
The same is true of Ghost Hand Peach, in the wood carving industry, he may be very famous, but no matter how famous he is, he can't compare with a star, let alone a well-known Cheng dΓΉ.
Gao Yang is just a feng shui master, and he can be said to know nothing about wood carving. Of course, I haven't heard of any ghost hand peaches.
"I haven't heard of it! Then forget it, I'll tell you in vain. Anyway, you know that Ghost Hand Peach is the most famous wood carver in modern times, and this peach sword is one of his recent works. β
The old man didn't know if he was making up a story again, or if there was really such a person as Ghost Hand Peach, anyway, he didn't tell Gao Yang too much about Ghost Hand Peach, just said that he was the most famous contemporary wood carving master, and his peach sword was the work of Ghost Hand Peach.
"Ah, it's the work of a master! No wonder it's so expensive! "Gao Yang doesn't believe the old man's words or not, since people say so, he has to agree!
"Little brother! The reason why my peachwood sword is so expensive is that in addition to the fact that it is the work of Ghost Hand Peach, there is a more important reason! For this reason, I just add another thousand, which is not much! β
The old man seems to have a story that has not yet been finished, and now that Gao Yang doesn't know anything about the ghost hand peach, he may be worried that Gao Yang doesn't want to buy his sword, so he wants to make up another story.
"Oh! And the story! Uncle, then tell me quickly! Gao Yang is really a little curious, no matter whether the story made up by this old man is true or not, but it is also a pleasure to listen to the story!
"That's right, my peachwood sword is already different, you see, I didn't put it out, I just didn't want it to be exposed to the sun!"
As he spoke, the old man wrapped his peachwood sword in a piece of yellow silk cloth, and it seemed that he really regarded it as a treasure.
"You can't be exposed to the sun, that's why!" Gao Yang listened to the old man's words, he was very puzzled, why couldn't this peachwood sword be placed in the sun! This doesn't make sense! (To be continued......)
