Chapter 699: True and False (continued)
Judging from the style of the Buddha statue and the carving technique, Chu Chen felt that it should be a product of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and from this point of view, this Buddha statue is commendable.
What's more, the beeswax used in this Buddha statue is quite extraordinary in texture and color, and the height of this Buddha statue is nearly 20 centimeters.
The fake beeswax was regarded as a good thing by Nian Dasha, but the real beeswax was casually thrown in the corner by him, Chu Chen felt funny when he thought about it.
However, if there was no fool like Nian Dasha, Chu Chen would not have been able to pick up such a leak, and in some kind of Cheng dΓΉ, Chu Chen would have to thank this fool.
After a while, Nian Dasha walked in from the door with a scolding, and he didn't need to guess to know that he asked about the result that Meng Yi said just now.
Seeing this, Chu Chen stepped forward, raised the things in his hand, and asked, "Boss Nian, I want to invite this Buddha statue back, how much do you want?" β
Nian Dasha looked at the things in Chu Chen's hand, and was slightly stunned, because he didn't remember when he received this thing, of course, although he didn't remember when he received this thing, it didn't prevent him from quoting, he gave Chu Chen a thumbs up with a smile on his face, and said:
"Boss Chu, your vision is good, this is a Buddha statue made of old beeswax zuΓ²......"
"Alright, alright!" Hearing this, Chu Chen directly waved his hand and said: "This thing is obviously made of Xiuyu, if it is really old beeswax, will you be willing to put it in the corner?" β
Xiuyu is a kind of jade with a long history of development and utilization in China. It is known as one of the four famous jades of our country, however. Except for a small part of Xiuyu, which is more expensive, the other prices are relatively ordinary. Now on the market, like the Buddha statue in Chu Chen's hand, Xiuyu, the ordinary one only costs a few dozen yuan, and the purchase price is even cheaper.
The color of Xiuyan jade is dark green, green, light green, tan, dark red and other colors. The depth of color is related to the amount of iron content, and the color is generally dark when it contains a lot of iron, and the color is light when it is not. Xiuyu also has a strong waxy luster, glass luster, and some have a grease luster.
Because of this, Chu Chen felt that Nian Dasha must have regarded the material of this Buddha statue as Xiuyu, and as for the artistic style, with Nian Dasha's eyesight. How can you see it?
"MD, this kid is as good as a monkey!"
As Chu Chen thought, Nian Dasha really thought so, he scolded secretly, and then he was stunned for a while, slapped his thigh, and said in shock: "Ah! I thought it was the old beeswax zuΓ², that profiteer, deceived me again! β
said. He looked angry again, and he didn't know, and thought that he had really been deceived again.
Chu Chen didn't eat his set, he asked again: "Boss Nian." What about the price? β
"Hey! Since it's Xiuyu's, Boss Chu, look at it, I think you won't let me suffer! Nian Dasha sighed. He waved his hand angrily.
Chu Chen smiled: "What do you want me to say, I also think that this Buddha statue is a good carving." I want to ask you back, or I'll give you fifty? β
"Boss Chu. You're a big boss, fifty is a little too little, three hundred! β
To be honest, even if it is fifty yuan, Nian Dasha will actually agree, because he will write down the goods purchased for more than fifty yuan in a small notebook. It's just that when he saw Chu Chen take out 40,000 yuan and didn't care at all, he felt that Chu Chen was also a wealthy master, and of course he had to do a little more money for this kind of person.
Chu Chen frowned and said, "My money is not stolen and robbed, you can actually ask for three hundred of Xiuyu's things, you really treat me as a mallet!" Eighty at most, if not, forget it! β
Looking at Chu Chen's resolute expression, Nian Dasha smashed his mouth, thinking to himself, Xiuyu's things are not too much, so he agreed with a smile.
In order to avoid a long night of dreams, Chu Chen paid directly, and then put the things back in his bag.
Nian Dasha saw that Chu Chen and Biao XiΓ n seemed to be in a hurry, and felt that something was wrong in his heart, but at this time, Chu Chen, who was standing in front of him, looked behind him and sighed softly, which immediately interrupted his thinking, and hurriedly looked behind him.
There is an ordinary wooden statue next to Nian Dasha, because it is placed behind the door, it can only be seen obliquely, so when everyone walked in just now, they didn't pay attention.
This statue doesn't look special, the reason why Chu Chen feels strange is because the image of this wooden statue and the many statues in his memory do not coincide.
You must know that Chu Chen can never forget it, the information he has seen now can be described as varied, the image of ancient statues, as long as it is mentioned in the book, he remembers it clearly. In this way, there was a statue he didn't recognize, how could he not be surprised?
Chu Chen stepped forward and found that the costume of the statue was the appearance of an ancient craftsman, that is to say, this statue was probably carved to commemorate a certain craftsman, which also explained why this statue did not have an imprint.
The material of the statue is also very ordinary wood, and because it is too old, small cracks can be seen everywhere on the surface of the statue.
Originally, if this statue was just like this, Chu Chen would not pay attention to it anymore, but the two other features of the statue still made him feel that this statue was quite extraordinary.
First of all, after the completion of the statue, the lacquer gilding process was used, although after the baptism of the years, most of the gilt on the statue has fallen off, but at that time, in a statue with a height of nearly 90 centimeters, the cost was quite a lot, which also shows the importance that people attached to this statue at that time.
Secondly, the carving process of this statue is also quite extraordinary, the face is lifelike, the clothing pattern is smooth, the sculpture technique is skillful and sophisticated, there is no trace of knife and axe, it appears delicate and expressive, and belongs to the style of the statue of the early Han Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it is not inferior to the carver who carved the Buddha statue just now.
Therefore, although the material of this statue is ordinary, in terms of these two details, it looks quite extraordinary, which made Chu Chen immediately interested.
Nian Dasha saw that Chu Chen was interested in this wooden statue, and he was also very happy in his heart. This wooden statue is still an object he received when he came out of prison and first arrived in Jinling.
At that time, he didn't know what kind of statue it was, but he knew that it was very old-fashioned, and thought it should be a good thing, so he received it from his master's house for two hundred dollars.
Originally, Nian Dasha also wanted to make the first pot of gold on this wooden statue, but he didn't expect the reality to be very cruel, and many people who had seen the statue did not buy it, firstly, because everyone did not know who the wooden statue represented, and secondly, because the material used in the statue was too ordinary.
Although people who have come to see the year of the statue also think that it should not be too late, but because of these two points, the price given by everyone is not high, and it is almost around 200.
Although Nian Dasha bought this statue for two hundred yuan, as long as he didn't lose money, he would have sold it at that time, but the key is that he shipped this thing back and spent a sum of money, so if it is calculated, two hundred yuan must be a loss, so he gritted his teeth and did not sell it, and the result has been put until now.
Now, since Chu Chen has taken a fancy to this thing, Nian Dasha feels that no matter what, it is impossible for the other party to only pay two hundred, maybe he can not only return to his capital, but also make a small profit, how can he not feel happy?
So, when Chu Chen retracted his gaze, Nian Dasha hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Boss Chu, are you interested in this statue?" β
Chu Chen nodded and said bluntly: "Yes, I don't know how much you want to cut love, Boss Nian?" However, I explained in advance that the material of this statue is not good, and if the price is too expensive, then forget it. β
"If the material is good, it will be your turn!"
Nian Dasha muttered to himself, then thought about it, stretched out two fingers and said, "This number!" β
"Twenty?" Chu Chen teased him.
"How can it be twenty!" Nian Dasha smiled bitterly: "If you want it, two thousand!" β
Chu Chen looked at the other party with a smile when he heard this, and said: "I hate that others use me as a mallet the most, since Boss Nian is so offering, then forget it!" β
With that, he shrugged his shoulders and prepared to leave to feature something else.
This statue was already a fool's heart, he hurriedly stopped Chu Chen, nodded and said: "Boss Chu, I just haven't seen money, don't be like me, so let's do it!" Just a thousand, what do you think? β
"A thousand is too expensive!" Chu Chen shook his head.
Nian Dasha said with a bitter face: "Boss Chu, to tell you the truth, I bought this statue and even the shipping cost, it will cost hundreds, you let me earn a little bit!" How about I'll give you another 10% discount? β
Chu Chen smiled and said: "I'm also honest, I like to collect some relatively rare things, I just think that I haven't seen a statue of Shezun before, so I plan to buy it and study it." As for how this statue is, you should also know that if it is good, there will not be a thick layer of dust on it. β
Nian Dasha smiled and said, "Then how much do you think it should be?" β
"Six hundred, I think it's almost!" Chu Chen gestured.
Nian Dasha said with a slightly exaggerated expression: "My Boss Chu, I will lose money for six hundred!" Eight hundred, eight hundred, this old statue is yours! β
Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "Then I'll take a step back, six or six Shun, I will give up to six hundred and six!" β
Nian Dasha thought about it and felt that although the price was not as expected, it was barely enough, so he smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'll give it to you!" (To be continued......)
