The stall that Cai Hongming thought was selling miscellaneous items was actually miscellaneous items in antiques, also known as miscellaneous items.

In the category of antiques, in addition to ceramics, the handicraft collections that can be played with, including bronzes, jade, furniture, embroidery, etc., can be called miscellaneous pieces.

The thing that induces the jade bead between the eyebrows to shine is on the stall, but there are a lot of things in the stall, and Cai Hongming doesn't know which one.

So, he squatted down in front of the stall. The stalls are full of all kinds of gold, silver, copper, iron, jade and other handicrafts. In order to determine what it was that made the jade beads shine, he pretended to pick up the things on the stall and looked at them one by one. After a while, he found something that made the jade beads between his eyebrows shine.

It's a jade pixiu.

The jade quality is not very good, with yellow soil on the body, and it looks good.

The jade pixiu was a pair of two, so he grabbed the other jade pixiu, but the jade pixiu could not make the jade bead shine, and he tried to catch other things, or so, it seems that only the jade pixiu can attract the jade bead.

The stall owner is a middle-aged man who seems to be bored and has taken a book to read out of nowhere.

Cai Hongming picked up the jade pixiu and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this thing?" ”

Although the boss was reading a book, Cai Hongming's every move was watched by him, and when he heard his question, he said: "This is a Han Dynasty jade pixiu, and the price is a bit high." ”

Han Dynasty's? Cai Hongming didn't understand this, grabbed the jade pixiu and glanced at it a few times, no matter how it looked, it didn't look like a thing from the Han Dynasty, "Boss, I'm not a collector, and I don't understand this, I just see that this thing looks good, so I want to buy it back and play with it." You tell me how much it costs, and if it's suitable, I'll buy it. If not, forget it. ”

You don't look like you know how to do it.

The stall owner thought to himself and said, "Then it's cheaper for you, three thousand yuan." ”

The people who set up stalls here have a consensus, that is, killing is not killing, you can deceive the gringos, you can deceive the Chinese, you can deceive the elderly, women and children, and never deceive the young people. Especially the kind of young man with a murderous face. Because this kind of young man is suffocating, if you deceive him too badly, he doesn't care that you are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital of China, whether he should beat you or beat you the same. At that time, even if you go to the police station, at most you will be fined some money, detained for a while, and you will come out in a few days. And you're going to get beaten and lose a few days of business. It's not cost-effective to be self-serving, so to put it simply, doing business is to make money in harmony.

When encountering this kind of person, everyone will lower the price, at most overflowing a little from the original price, and dare not be too tricky.

Cai Hongming looked at the jade pixiu in front of him, which was only about ten centimeters long, and felt that three thousand yuan was too expensive.

Jade is not a good jade, and the Hetian mutton fat jade that I picked up by myself doesn't cost money. He still sells this broken jade for 3,000, and there is no reason for heaven.

People who can set up stalls here are very good at reading words and feelings. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are psychological masters, looking at Cai Hongming's hesitant appearance, he knows that he is close to his psychological price. So, he took the initiative to say: "Young man, seeing that you sincerely want to buy it, I will reduce it by another two hundred." Take two thousand eight hundred pieces. I can't be less, I only earn a little of your food expenses, and if I don't do it any less, I will lose money. ”

How did Cai Hongming feel that this was so familiar, it seemed to be a bit like the shouting of a street jumping off the building for sale.

"Two thousand eight is still too expensive, this thing is not worth that much money. Three hundred. If you feel like you can, I'll take it. Cai Hongming said, and asked uneasily: "Boss, you are carved in stone!" Don't fool people with things made out of glass resin like those unscrupulous and smoking guys. ”

"Young man, look at what you said, this is jade, not stone or glass resin, if you buy it and find that it is not jade, you can take it back and smash me."

Of course, whether it is good jade or not, he did not say.

"But three hundred is too low, this is not good." The stall owner continued.

"The five hundred, if it doesn't work, I can't do it." After speaking, Cai Hongming put down the jade pixiu in his hand and wanted to leave.

"Eh, young man, what are you doing in such a hurry, five hundred is five hundred, for your sincerity, I will sell it to you at a loss, I hope to come back next time I will have more support."

"Definitely." Cai Hongming responded casually, but in fact, even he didn't know that the next time he came would be the Year of the Monkey.

The stall owner found a box, packed the jade pixiu and handed it to Cai Hongming, handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, which was quite formal. Cai Hongming took the box and took out the jade pixiu that made the jade beads shine and looked at the sun, but unfortunately he couldn't see any tricks no matter how he looked at it, but he felt that the jade pixiu seemed to contain something in his body.

The stall owner took the money and took a photo, looked back and saw that he was still here, and said: "Don't worry, young man, this is definitely jade, who here doesn't know that what I sell is the real thing." ”

It's the real thing, but it's not an antique. The jade pixiu in Cai Hongming's hand, except for one that was collected from other places, one of them was carved by a machine that he had people carve out with a machine, but it was just a few dozen yuan, and it became five hundred at once, and he made a fortune.

Cai Hongming heard his words, nodded, and was about to put away his things.

Suddenly, I heard someone behind me shouting, "Young man, please wait, can you show me what you have in your hand?" ”

Cai Hongming turned his head to look and saw an old man who was almost seventy coming to his side at some point, followed by a young man with round sunglasses. It seems that he is really a little carried away, and he doesn't even know that someone is around. If it's a fight, I don't know how many times I'll have to clean it up.

"Young man, can you show me the jade pixiu in your hand." The old man said again.

Cai Hongming glanced at him, a little reluctant to give it to him, because since this jade pixiu can make the jade bead shine, it must be a very extraordinary thing, what if it is broken? So he had an extra heart, put down the jade pixiu in his hand, took out the other one and handed it to him.

"Young man, I'm talking about that one." The old man pointed to the jade pixiu he had put down and said with a smile.

"Isn't it different?" Cai Hongming pretended to be stupid.

"Of course it's different."

I didn't expect the old man to be so eye-catching, and after thinking about it, he wasn't afraid that he would take it away, so he handed over the jade pixiu that made the jade beads shine, and didn't forget to instruct: "Be careful." ”

The young man wearing sunglasses next to him couldn't stand it, so he said, "Don't worry, if something goes wrong, we will definitely lose money to you." ”

"Do you think I'm like a man who is short of money?" Cai Hongming glanced at him and said.

The young man smiled and didn't speak, but the look in his eyes clearly said, lacking, very lacking.

Cai Hongming saw that he didn't speak anymore, and he didn't bother to bother with him.

The old man took the jade pixiu and looked at it carefully, as if he wanted to engrave every color and every line on it into his mind. After a while, the old man returned the jade pixiu to Cai Hongming, and then asked, "This jade pixiu is good, are you willing to sell it?" ”

"Why isn't it a couple?"

"You guess you've been deceived, that one and this one are not the same pair." The old man didn't bother to say anything about this kind of fake thing, and only the so-called rookies regarded them as a pair.

"Really?" Cai Hongming said lightly.

The stall owner next to him heard their conversation and was about to explain, but seeing Cai Hongming's disapproving look, he sat down again.

Cai Hongming is a rookie, but he is not a fool, he has already sensed through the light emitted by the jade beads that the two are not a pair, and the reason why he asked the old man this is just a temptation. He didn't mean to sell jade pixiu, so he put it away. When the old man saw him put things away, he suddenly became anxious.

"Young man, don't think about it? I have an old friend who happens to have a jade pixiu like you in his hand, and if you add this one, it just makes a pair. Think about it, if it doesn't exceed 50,000, I can buy it for him. ”

The stall owner was stupid when he heard it directly, he thought that he had slaughtered a rookie today, but he didn't expect that it was his old bird who was blind and flowed out the treasure in his hand with his own hands.

In an instant, his heart was so remorseful that his intestines turned green.

When Cai Hongming heard the old man's words, he owed a word, because it was impossible for him to sell the jade pixiu. So after putting the things away, he said to the old man, "I'm sorry, I don't sell this thing." With that, he turned around and left.

"Eighty thousand, young man, at most eighty thousand, it can't be higher, and it's useless for you to keep a jade pixiu for yourself, it's worth a pair."

The old man saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly shouted behind him. Unexpectedly, Cai Hongming didn't even listen, and left directly.

"Elder Xun, it's just a jade pixiu, where is it not sold, as for that?" The young man next to him said to the old man.

"You know what." Xun Lao shouted angrily.

In fact, he said that his old friend had the same jade pixiu that was nonsense, which was just an excuse to buy the jade pixiu in Cai Hongming's hand. Who would have thought that he would not buy oil and salt, and if he didn't sell it, he wouldn't sell it. He just looked at the jade pixiu and found that the jade pixiu was indeed a product of the Han Dynasty, and it had a typical Han Dynasty carving technique. Not only that, but he also found that this jade pixiu was covered with hidden lines, and he couldn't see it at all if he wasn't careful, and there seemed to be ancient words in the hidden lines. It's just that he was in too much of a hurry at the time, and he didn't even have time to see what the hidden lines were talking about.

The value of such a jade pixiu is not only the texture and history of the jade pixiu itself, but also has added value. Just like the ancient tripod, there is no difference between having an inscription and not having an inscription.

Also, if he bought this thing to study it, he might have made some major discoveries, at least he didn't find such hidden lines on other things. It's just that people don't sell it, but it's a pity.

After leaving the stall, Cai Hongming continued to wander around the antique market.

He thought that since there was something that could make the jade beads shine, maybe he could find some treasure from it. It's a pity that the idea is good, and the reality is often cruel. He brushed back and forth on the many stalls several times, but he didn't find anything that made the jade beads shine. (To be continued......)
