Chapter 1106 Yuan Dynasty Jade
"Oh, Chenghua Dynasty, that's really a good thing, I can see it, it's just the shopkeeper, are you really sure you want me to buy this piece of jade, otherwise, how about I repay you in other ways." Chen Yi rubbed the jade with his fingers, and then looked at the shopkeeper with a smile.
The shopkeeper looked at Chen Yi and smiled, "This son, of course I'm sure, unless you buy this piece of jade, I won't tell you where Lu Zigang's workshop is, otherwise, you can go to other places and ask." β
In his opinion, Chen Yi, a young man, doesn't know jade at all, how can he tell if this is from the Chenghua Dynasty, and finally ran into a fat sheep sent to the door, how can he do it without pitting it.
Chen Yi nodded, "Since the shopkeeper asked me to buy it, then I will buy it, but fifteen taels is too expensive, how about five taels." β
"Hehe, five taels, childe, you're joking, I've already given you a cheap fifteen taels, not to mention that you have something to ask for now." The owner of the shop knocked on the table, looking fearless.
"Oh, it's not cheap at all, then I'll go to other stores and buy a piece of jade casually, and see if they will sue me." Chen Yi showed an indifferent look on his face, put the jade pendant on the table, turned around and prepared to leave the shop.
Seeing that Chen Yi was so straightforward and walked towards the door without looking back, the owner of the shop hesitated for a moment, and then hurriedly called out to Chen Yi, "Hey, this son, take a slow step, there is something to discuss, something to discuss." β
Chen Yi sneered behind his back, and then turned around, the antique shop in the modern world of China is more dangerous than this ancient world, and he can be like a fish in water inside. Not to mention the garbage acting skills of the owner of this shop.
"Childe. Look at the thirteen taels of silver. "I saw Chen Yi come back. The owner of the shop said politely.
"Six taels at most." Chen Yi did not hesitate to make a counteroffer.
At this moment, the owner of the shop suddenly found that he who had the upper hand seemed to be in a passive downwind position after Chen Yi came back, and the control seemed to be on Chen Yi's body.
"Eleven taels of silver, the least." The owner of the shop said fiercely.
How could Chen Yi be frightened by him. Said lightly: "Eight taels of silver, sell it, sell it, if you don't sell it, I'll go to another house, and you can buy a good piece of jade for five taels." β
"Okay, eight taels is eight taels." Hearing Chen Yi's words, the shopkeeper thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.
Chen Yi smiled slightly, took out eight taels of silver from his pocket, handed it to him, and the owner of the shop took the silver. looked at it, and then reluctantly handed the jade pendant to Chen Yi. "Childe, eight taels of silver, I'm at a loss."
"Shopkeeper, then I really want to thank you, now are you going to tell me about Lu Zigang's whereabouts." Chen Yi also did not expose the true face of the owner of this shop, but asked with a smile, what he needs most now is Lu Zigang's whereabouts.
The owner of the shop pΓΉ showed a smile on his face, "From here all the way inside, there is a workshop without any signboard on it, which is opened by Lu Zigang, I don't know if he is in the workshop now, but I want to kindly remind you that Lu Zigang is arrogant, but he will not carve jade for people casually." β
"He is now extremely famous, he can be called the first person in the jade world, and the people who came to carve jade are all princes and nobles, wealthy families, so, son, if you have jade that you want to carve, I know some masters, and the carving will not be much worse than Lu Zigang."
Hearing the boss's information, Chen Yi used the identification function to confirm it again, knowing that what the boss said was true, he smiled, there was no signboard, it looked very low-key, but it was actually the proof of this guy's arrogance.
Other shops basically have signboards to attract customers, but Lu Zigang's workshop does not hang them at all, and its intention is to show that my jade carving level is very high, and I don't need to use other foreign objects to attract others, let alone attract others, because others know my fame.
This is the strong pride in Lu Zigang's heart, his level of jade carving is indeed a masterpiece, and his skills are overwhelming, which is enough to make many princes and nobles flock to him.
"Oh, thank you for the reminder from the shopkeeper, not just to carve jade, I went first, in addition, thank you to the shopkeeper for giving me this piece of ancient jade, it's really a good jade, hehe." Chen Yi nodded, picked up the jade pendant in his hand, waved it a few times at the owner of the shop, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and then turned around and left the shop.
Hearing what Chen Yi said, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand the meaning of Chen Yi's words, good jade, this piece of silver bought for one or two pieces of silver is good jade, and he was a little skeptical that this young man was nervous.
He shook his head and didn't think about Chen Yi anymore, he only knew that this business was right if he made it himself.
And Chen Yi, after leaving this shop, turned around and went to another jade shop next door, and less than five minutes later, he walked out with a spring breeze on his face, and his money bag was obviously about twice as large.
After he left, the shopkeeper of the jade shop came to the jade shop next door with a piece of jade pendant with a happy face.
"Shopkeeper Li, what is the happy event that makes you so excited." The shopkeeper who sold the jade to Chen Yi, seeing the appearance of this person, immediately asked curiously.
Shopkeeper Li laughed loudly, "Haha, Shopkeeper Wang, I just found a good thing, jade from the Yuan Dynasty." β
"Oh, the jade of the Yuan Dynasty, this is a rare thing, come and take a look." The shopkeeper of the jade shop suddenly became interested.
Shopkeeper Li didn't hesitate, he directly took out this jade pendant and put it in his hand, "Look at it, it's this ancient jade of the Yuan Dynasty, I only spent forty taels of silver, and I made a lot of money." β
Looking at the jade pendant in the hands of the shopkeeper Li, the shopkeeper Wang was dumbfounded, pointed to the jade pendant, and was speechless for a long time, "This, this, shopkeeper Li, you have been deceived, this is the jade pendant that has just been sold from my shop." β
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li's face tightened, "Shopkeeper Wang, the jade pendant is sold from your store, don't be joking." β
"What am I lying to you about, this is a young man who just bought it from my store." Saying that, the shopkeeper Wang told Chen Yi about inquiring about Lu Zigang and buying a piece of jade from his shop, and described Chen Yi's appearance.
Shopkeeper Li listened carefully, the worry on his face became lighter and lighter, and finally became bright.
"That kid lied to you, Shopkeeper Li, how can you fall for this, quick, go to Lu Zigang's workshop to find him, can't let him run away, I just accepted him eight taels of silver for this piece of jade." After the shopkeeper Wang finished speaking, he said with some eagerness, but there was a thick schadenfreude in his words.
Before, the shopkeeper Li said that he had found a piece of ancient jade in the Yuan Dynasty, and he was a little envious and jealous, but now, this envy and hatred has completely turned into schadenfreude.
"Haha, it's you who were deceived, shopkeeper Wang, after my careful identification, this jade pendant can be said to be the jade pendant of the Yuan Dynasty Undoubtedly, although the style of our jade pendant in the early Ming Dynasty has been handed down from the Yuan Dynasty, but there are obvious differences, you see here, and here, this is completely the style of the middle of the Yuan Dynasty." Shopkeeper Li laughed, pointed to this jade pendant, and said to Shopkeeper Wang.
Looking at some of the positions pointed out by Shopkeeper Li, Shopkeeper Wang's face changed suddenly, those who did their jade business more or less had a certain understanding of jade, not to mention, it was still the Yuan Dynasty not far from the Ming Dynasty.
"This, this can't be." Although he also knew that this piece of jade was very likely to be an ancient jade of the Yuan Dynasty, he still said in disbelief.
"Haha, shopkeeper Wang, you just said that the young man also asked you if you were sure you wanted him to buy this jade pendant, this is to remind you that if you don't let him buy it, he will repay you in other ways, and this way is to tell the age of this piece of jade, so that you can get this return."
Saying that, the shopkeeper Li showed a faint sneer on his face, "Who knows, but you are determined to let him buy it, speaking of which, the young man didn't lie to you, on the contrary, he is still full of kindness, eight taels of silver, a piece of ancient jade of the Yuan Dynasty, the shopkeeper of the king, you have lost a lot, I received forty taels of this jade, and I can earn one or twenty taels when I change hands." β
Hearing the words of Shopkeeper Li, Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but show regret on his face, and now thinking about it, the young man really wanted to remind himself that looking at the ancient jade of the Yuan Dynasty in front of him, this could have belonged to him, but now he was taken advantage of by Shopkeeper Li next door.
Calculated that if he knew the age of this piece of jade from Chen Yi's hands, he would be able to earn at least more than fifty taels of silver, which was equivalent to his income for ten days and half a month.
"That young man can see the age of this jade pendant from your shop at a glance, his eyesight is extraordinary, he is looking for Lu Zigang now, there must be something important, it's just that I have nothing to do with us, shopkeeper Wang, you have to be careful in the future, even if it is a young man, it may be a master in the jade."
Looking at the jade pendant, Shopkeeper Li said with emotion, and finally looked at the regret on the face of the shopkeeper Wang, and his words were full of schadenfreude.
The shopkeeper Wang's face changed again, he only cared about his own loss just now, but he ignored the fact that Chen Yi was a master of jade, when Chen Yi looked at the jade pendant in his store, he knew that he really only glanced at it, and took this jade pendant from the cabinet.
A master of this kind of strength, he has worked in the jade industry for so many years, and he has not met much, let alone such a young man, this young man may be from a jade family, otherwise, he would never be so young and have such a deep appreciation of jade.
It's just that it's useless to say anything now, he is sure of this loss, thinking of the mysterious look on the young man's face when he left, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was really a liar all his life, and in the end, he was played by a young man. (To be continued......)
