Chapter 87: The Outside World Is Too Wonderful
"I said, I'm just selling a pair of porcelain vases, what do you want?" The peddler seemed to be annoyed by the repeated interruptions, and pointed at Gu Ke and said, "Bring the things over, otherwise Lao Tzu will look good!" ”
"Do you have to sell?" Gu Ke looked at the old gentleman running away from here with his slippers, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, looked at the vendor and asked, "How about I pay twice the price for them?" ”
"They gave me 20,000 yuan!" When the peddler heard Gu Ke say this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he changed his anger just now, but asked with a pleasant face: "Little girl, can you speak seriously?" ”
"It's only 40,000 yuan." When Gu Ke heard the peddler say this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "But what if this thing is fake?" ”
"Impossible!" The vendor patted his chest and said, "The old gentleman just said that this is true, and there is absolutely no loss when you buy it!" ”
"Excuse......" The two previous buyers saw that Gu Ke was deliberately trying to cut off his beard, and immediately opened their mouths with some dissatisfaction, but they were interrupted by Gu Ke raising his hand.
"Don't care if it's a loss or not, I'll just ask what if it's fake?" Gu Ke saw that the old gentleman had arrived, so he asked with a smile: "Ten for one fake?" ”
"It's not in order!" The peddler's face was a little ugly.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and most of them felt that Gu Ke should be a girl who was not short of money in the family, so they asked so.
Antiques are a test of people's eyesight, if you buy the real thing with very little money, then you will make money, otherwise you will lose.
But whether it is a profit or a loss, it is a decision made by yourself, and you can't blame anyone.
"Okay, I'm not embarrassed." Gu Ke carried the porcelain vase, glanced at the two buyers and said, "But on this antique street, everyone buys and sells two rules, haven't you heard that it is also a rule to deceive people by joining forces to make fires, right?" ”
"What do you mean?" When the peddler heard Gu Ke say this, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately stretched out his hand to grab the porcelain bottle in Gu Ke's hand, "I admit it today, can I not sell it?" ”
"Bang ......" I don't know if it was too fast, or Gu Ke's hand slipped, in short, at the moment when the vendor's hand just touched the porcelain bottle, everyone watched the porcelain bottle fall to the ground and scatter.
"Oops! What a sin! The old gentleman didn't arrive at a step, but when he saw this scene, he beat his chest and said, "You losers!" ”
"Sir, you can see clearly." Gu Ke pointed to one of the porcelain pieces and said lightly: "These people's things are imitations, and they are deliberately colluding to wait for you!" ”
"What?" The old gentleman took a closer look and found that the porcelain tiles that Gu Ke was referring to really had a small simple character written on it, which was obviously an imitation.
"Run!" The peddler made eye contact with the two so-called buyers, suddenly roared, and directly pushed the old gentleman in front of him, and quickly rushed into the crowd.
The two buyers ripped off their hoods and fled.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
There are no foreigners at all in the co-authorship, and even this one is fake?
Gu Ke quickly grabbed the old gentleman, and by the time everyone reacted, the three of them had already disappeared, obviously premeditated.
Seeing that there was no excitement to see, everyone slowly dispersed, leaving only the old gentleman, Gu Ke and Xue Xiaoliu standing in place.
"The other party is coming for the old gentleman." Gu Ke helped the old gentleman to stand firmly, and said calmly: "It's just that the old gentleman should also be a knowledgeable person, why didn't he see the cat of the porcelain vase?" ”
"I'm getting older, and my vision is not good in the end." The old gentleman looked at the porcelain vases scattered all over the place, shook his head with some pity and said: "These people, if they have such a ability, if they can take the right path, how good it would be, how many cultural relics cannot be repaired now, but they put their minds on such crooked ways, it's a pity!" ”
Gu Ke got closer, only to find that the old gentleman seemed to have an injured eye, but because of the distance just now, she didn't see it.
Just when Gu Ke didn't know how to comfort the old man, he suddenly found that the black qi on the black qi bracelet slowly floated towards the pile of things that the vendor had put out before.
After a few circles, the black gas stopped on a piece of blackened wood, and then kept spinning in circles.
This...... It seems like the wood that the vendor used to sit down and rest, right?
Gu Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, and subconsciously approached the piece of wood, only to find that the black qi bracelet was turning faster, obviously reminding Gu Ke of the uniqueness of this piece of wood.
"Old gentleman." Gu Ke thought for a while, turned his head to greet the old gentleman and asked, "Look at this ......?"
The old gentleman was still in a very low mood, but he walked to Gu Ke's side, and after getting his hands on the piece of black wood, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said in disbelief: "This is...... Golden silk ebony? ”
Ebony, also known as gloomy wood, is a kind of wood that was buried in the ground thousands of years ago due to natural disasters such as mudslides and earthquakes, and initially carbonized under the action of high temperature, high pressure and microorganisms.
Because of the black color of this gloomy wood, gloomy wood also has the name of ebony.
Because it has been buried in the ground for a long time, and after tens of thousands of years of high-pressure anoxic environment, it has the characteristics of hard texture, delicate feel, anti-corrosion and wear-resistant, and never fades, which can be used to make various jewelry accessories, furniture, sculptures and other handicrafts, which can be placed indoors to not only anti-corrosion, deodorizing and fresh air, but also can be used for appreciation and collection.
And Li Shizhen recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": ebony, sweet, salty, flat, detoxifying, and mainly (curing) cholera and diarrhea, taking crumbs and grinding the end, and serving with warm wine. Edoud will give off a faint fragrance, and regular smell can make people feel refreshed and happy.
It can withstand the baptism of history, and there are not too many varieties of trees that do not rot for thousands of years in the watery underground, mainly Tieli, red toon, hemp willow, nanmu, etc., among which the golden silk nanwu ebony in Nanmu is the most precious.
There is a half square of ebony in the house, which is better than a box of treasure, and it is this wood that is said.
Jin Si Nan ebony is now a rare treasure that is hard to find, and it is hard to find in the current cultural art collection market, but this hawker actually guards the gold mountain without knowing it, which is too ridiculous, right?
"Treat pearls as mud balls...... the old gentleman almost excitedly hugged the piece of wood, shook his head and sighed: "I really don't know the goods!" ”
"Sir, this is not the right place to speak." Gu Ke saw that there were still many people paying attention to this, and said with a smile: "Why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?" ”
"Good, good!" For Gu Ke, the old gentleman still liked it very much, and nodded immediately and said, "It just so happens that I also have something to discuss with you." ”
Xue Xiaoliu didn't expect that he would be able to see Jin Sinan Ebony in this place, so he was also very excited to find a place with an elegant environment, and specially asked for a private seat, and the three of them began to talk about business after ordering food.
"Little girl, this golden silk nan ebony was discovered, can you tell me, how did you see it?" The old gentleman seemed to be very interested in Gu Ke, and asked straight to the point, "Are you still in school now?" ”
"Yes." Gu Ke nodded, glanced at the black qi bracelet that was absorbing the aura on the ebony of Jin Sinan, and said calmly at the moment: "I just feel that sometimes, when I get close to these things, I feel refreshed, as if there is something in the dark reminding me that it is a treasure." ”
"In the past, the teacher told me that there is talent in this world, and I was still skeptical, but now I know that there is really such a thing when I see it." The old gentleman said with some emotion: "What are you going to do with this piece of ebony?" ”
Xue Xiaoliu suddenly looked at Gu Ke excitedly, if he took it out and sold it, he was afraid that he would make a fortune, right?
"I just found it, I didn't recognize what it was." Gu Ke shook his head with a smile and said, "So it should belong to you who recognized its identity, not me." ”
"Are you really going to give it to me?" The old gentleman seemed surprised, looked at Gu Ke and asked, "Do you know how much it is worth?" ”
"Yes." Gu Ke nodded, and said: "But I think I have a fate with the old gentleman, and if it wasn't for the dispute between the old gentleman and the vendor, I wouldn't have found it before, so in the final analysis, it is still the credit of the old gentleman." ”
"What's it called?" The old gentleman's eyes crossed with admiration, and he asked appreciatively, "Did you go to school or work in Kyoto?" ”
"Old man, my name is Gu Ke." Gu Ke poured tea for the old gentleman and said, "I am a student who has just been admitted to J University this year, and I will report the day after tomorrow." ”
"J big?" When the old gentleman heard Gu Ke say this, he couldn't help but ask with a light in his eyes, "Which department is it a freshman?" ”
"Department of Archaeology!"
"Not bad." The old gentleman glanced at Gu Ke, and suddenly said with a smile: "That's it, since it's fate, then I'll accept this thing." ”
"Okay." Gu Ke didn't know what this old gentleman meant, but seeing that he didn't want to say more, he simply didn't ask more, and when the food came up, he beckoned the old gentleman and Xue Xiaoliu to eat, knowing that she hadn't eaten all night, and she would be hungry with her chest against her back.
Although Xue Xiaoliu didn't know why Gu Ke gave up such a valuable thing to an old man who met in Pingshui, it wasn't his thing in the end, so he didn't ask much, the three of them talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
When he sent the old gentleman away, and then asked Xue Xiaoliu to send him back to the courtyard, Gu Ke found that it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening.
As soon as she pushed the door, she fell into a warm embrace.
"Didn't you say you had to be busy until late today?" Gu Ke was a little surprised, she originally thought that Qin Youbai was not here today, so she would finish her things in a hurry, but she didn't expect this man to come back.
In this way, Gu Ke felt a little guilty.
"Goblin, are you going to leave me alone?" Qin Youbai's voice sounded aggrieved, no matter how it sounded, it sounded like a big cat waiting to be appeased, "The outside world is too exciting, so you can't find your way home?" ”
