Chu Chen smiled: "You kid has also started to take the upper route?" ”

"There's no way, Uncle Wang knows the conditions of my family, and he is not sure, so I have to pat his ass anyway." Liu Sizhe said helplessly.

Chu Chen shook his head with a smile, and then turned his attention to his hand.

Liu Sizhe's Taibai Zun is also a typical style, but it is different from the traditional porcelain, but made of cloisonné, which is very rare. It is precisely because it is a cloisonné utensil that Liu Sizhe is not too familiar with it, so he will ask Chu Chen to help.

The vessel is gilded with copper tires, and the outer wall is decorated with eight treasure lotus patterns with cloisonné enamel technology, and the ornamentation is rich and auspicious, and the color is bright and exquisite.

Chu Chen took a closer look and found that in terms of its production technology and characteristics, it should be a work of the Qing Dynasty court, but the production age of this object should be in the late, middle and late periods, because of the national strength, the overall level is not as good as the Qing Dynasty, but in general, it is still a very good utensil.

Chu Chen secretly gave Liu Sizhe a look, and then said: "This thing is so-so, don't buy it if it's expensive." ”

Because of the tacit understanding between him and Chu Chen, Liu Sizhe immediately understood that this thing was genuine, and its value should not be high. With a number in mind, he asked the stall owner, "Boss, how do you sell this thing?" ”

The stall owner also heard what Chu Chen said, but in business, it is impossible for customers to say that it is not worth it, and he also lowered the price, so he smiled and said: "This little brother, your eyesight is really good, this thing is ......"

Liu Sizhe hurriedly interrupted the stall owner and said, "Stop, stop!" Don't tell the story, give a real price! ”

The stall owner smiled: "It seems that the little brother is also an insider." I'll give you this number! ”

As he spoke, he slowly stretched out three fingers.

"Thirty?" Liu Sizhe pretended to be stupid and said.

"I'm talking about 30,000!" The stall owner said with a smile: "This is the Taibai Zun made by the Qing Dynasty court." How can it be worth only thirty? ”

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Boss, this Taibaizun has a thin carcass. The colors are bright and floating, and the workmanship is coarse, which is obviously a work of the Republic of China, how could it be made by the court of the Qing Dynasty? I don't think it's worth a thousand, how can there be such an outrageous price of 30,000? ”

"Well, I think 800 yuan is about the same." Liu Sizhe took over and said.

Originally, the stall owner was not sure about the age of this Taibai Zun, and when Chu Chen said this, he was not so confident, but eight hundred still did not meet his expectations. So he shook his head again and again and said: "Eight hundred is impossible, at least three thousand ......."

Next, Liu Sizhe and the stall owner grinded hard and soaked, and when it came to one thousand and five, the stall owner bit the price and did not waver at all.

Liu Sizhe was quite satisfied with this price, and after seeing Chu Chen nodding, he agreed.

Wait for the stall owner to accept the money, and wrap the things and hand them to Liu Sizhe. Chu Chen pointed to a Buddha statue on the stall and asked, "Boss, can you give a price for that blue Wenshi Guanyin statue?" ”

When the stall owner heard this, his eyes rolled and he smiled: "Little brother." It's not bluestone, it's lapis lazuli. ”

Chu Chen sneered and said, "Return lapis lazuli? If it's really lapis lazuli, what are you doing here? Just go straight to the auction. Since you think it's lapis lazuli, then I don't want it either. ”

After speaking. He put on a gesture to leave.

The stall owner hurriedly smiled and said, "Little brother, don't go." I haven't made an offer yet! ”

Chu Chen frowned slightly and asked, "How much?" I'm telling you, if the price is outrageous, I'll leave right away. ”

"Three thousand!" The stall owner also stretched out three fingers, but the price offered was ten times less than just now.

"Three thousand? I think three hundred is about the same! Chu Chen pursed his lips.

The stall owner said with an exaggerated expression: "Little brother, what you said, although this blue wentstone is indeed not a precious ore, but it is also a special product that only exists in Afghanistan, how can you buy such a large piece for three hundred?" If you really want it, then I can give you three hundred. ”

Chu Chen shook his head and said: "This Wen Lan Stone is not a precious ore, although this Wen Blue Stone is big, but two thousand seven is still too expensive, I will pay one thousand two at most!" ”

"No, at least three thousand five ......"

The two bargained and grinded for five or six minutes before the deal was sold for 2,350 yuan.

After Chu Chen took the things and left, the stall owner thought triumphantly: "The young man's money is easy to earn, obviously it is blue ashlar, and it is said to be blue temperaturestone, if it is really bluestone, I will sell it to you for this money?" ……”

Just when the stall owner was in a happy mood, Duan Kun said speechlessly: "I said that you two are too mother-in-law and mother-in-law, isn't it just a matter of hundreds or thousands of yuan, is it necessary to grind this with that guy for a long time?" ”

Liu Sizhe looked at him with disdain: "Explaining to you, a layman, is simply talking about the piano." ”

"Why do you talk to the cow?" Duan Kun said a little unconvinced.

Liu Sizhe sneered and said: "How can you buy antiques without paying back?" Just like my Taibai Zun, do I buy it at a price of 30,000 yuan, and I don't pay it back? I'm not a mallet, and I have nowhere to spend my money. Besides, if I really don't pay back, the other party still thinks it's a good thing, and the price is likely to increase because of it. ”

"No, it won't! Will the price increase? Duan Kun felt a little incredible.

"There are a lot of strange things in the antique industry, not to mention the price and price increase after negotiating, and there are countless things like fairy jumping, and you may lose your wealth if you are not careful. Young man, don't charge a lot of money when you buy antiques in the future, be careful of being sold and count the money for the other party! Liu Sizhe patted Duan Kun's shoulder angrily.

Duan Kun waved his hand and said, "Cut!" Of course, I buy antiques from acquaintances, but I don't like you, who still hang around the stalls. ”

Liu Sizhe smiled and said: "So you are a layman, if you only go to the antique shop, how many leaks can be picked up." ”

Duan Kun pursed his lips: "It is true that the stall can pick up leaks, but how can such a thing as picking up leaks often occur?" And there are a lot of fakes on the stall, don't pick up the leaks when you don't pick them up, but instead collect a bunch of fakes! ”

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "That's for you, a layman, just say that our brother Chen, you must have picked up the leak just now." ”

Hearing this, Duan Kun asked a little incredulously, "Brother Chen, did you miss it just now?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said modestly: "It's a small leak." ”

Duan Kun said with some excitement: "A small leak is also a leak, I have been in contact with antiques for so long, and I have never encountered a leak......

"Wait!"

Liu Sizhe interrupted: "I remember you said that you have only known Zhenzhen for a month, so you should not have been in contact with antiques for a month, just like that, you are embarrassed to say that you have been in contact with antiques for a long time?" ”

Duan Kun hurriedly snorted a little embarrassed: "Let's listen to Brother Chen and talk about what leaks we have picked up!" ”

Chu Chen shook his head and smiled, and then said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the material of this Guanyin statue is indeed lapis lazuli." ”

"What? It's really lapis lazuli. Liu Sizhe looked surprised, and then said: "Also, if it weren't for lapis lazuli, you would definitely be too lazy to speak." ”

"You kid, don't talk about it, I seem to have a lot of money, okay!" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"You were originally a local tyrant!" Liu Sizhe said with a smile.

"Well, can you explain what lapis lazuli is?" Duan Kun raised his hand and asked.

Liu Sizhe said eloquently: "Lapis lazuli is a relatively rare gemstone, the main color of this gemstone is blue, in our country in ancient times known as Xuanlin, Jinjing, Jinyu, Qingdai, etc. Buddhism is called the Vedali or Biliuli. ”

"Lapis lazuli is loved by the people of the East for its vivid blue color. In the ancient Egypt of thousands of years BC. And, lapis lazuli is comparable in value to gold. In ancient seals. Du, Yi. Lang and other countries, lapis lazuli, turquoise, and coral are all precious jade varieties. In Guhi. La, Guluo. Horses, wearing lapis lazuli are considered a sign of wealth. ”

"Shi Ya" cloud: "The color of lapis lazuli is like the sky, or the gold dust is scattered, brilliant, if the stars are beautiful in the sky." Therefore, in ancient China, lapis lazuli was usually used as a symbol of the majesty and nobility of the heavens. Because of this, lapis lazuli was very favored by ancient emperors and was often buried in tombs. ”

Duan Kun nodded and said, "I know this lapis lazuli, but how much is this thing worth?" ”

Liu Sizhe said: "This can't be generalized, how much is worth depends on the quality of lapis lazuli and the level of carving technology." The quality of lapis lazuli is to have uniform color without cracks, delicate texture without Venus is better, no white sprinkled gold is second, sprinkled gold refers to the uniform distribution of Venus If the pyrite content is low, the surface does not affect the quality. ”

"But if Venus is dark and dark, or if there is too much calcite to form large white spots on the surface, the value is greatly reduced. I didn't look carefully at Brother Chen's statue of Guanyin, and I don't know what the quality and craftsmanship are. ”

When Liu Sizhe finished speaking, both of them looked at Chu Chen.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "The lapis lazuli used in this Guanyin statue is not bad, although it is not up to the top quality, but there are not many Venus on the surface, as for the craftsmanship, it should be made in the Qianlong period." ”

Liu Sizhe was stunned and said: "Brother Chen, you are really unkind, such a good thing, you actually said that you only picked up a small leak?" ”

Duan Kun asked with some surprise, "Could it be that Guanyin statue is worth more than 100,000?" ”

"What a hundred thousand!" Liu Sizhe sneered and said: "It should be worth at least a million!" ”

"This ...... So expensive? Duan Kun's mouth opened wide, and his face was incredible.

"Is there any truth to this?"

Liu Sizhe said triumphantly: "Speaking of which, Brother Chen often picks up millions of leaks, and these millions of things are really a small leak for Brother Chen!" ”

In that way, those who don't know the way still think that he is the one who picked up the leak...... (To be continued......)
