Gu Ming subconsciously glanced at the man, only to see that the other party's temples were white, and he should be a little old. （）

It's just that the other party's eyes are full of energy, and he bends over and buys things with other people in the stall, but he is not satisfied at all, and his body looks quite tough.

Gu Ming picked up the snuff box that the other party put down, took a cursory look, and judged that this snuff bottle was a relatively good imitation fake, but it was still a little worse than the high-imitation snuff bottle she bought for her grandfather in Jingdezhen.

How could it be impossible to buy something worse than Jingdezhen's high-imitation snuff bottle when she bought something for her grandfather this time, so she didn't stay long, and put the snuff bottle aside casually.

As soon as the snuffbox left his hand, a man with two mustaches on his mouth took the snuffbox in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then decisively went to the stall owner to buy it.

Gu Ming glanced at the other party, didn't say anything, and continued to shop for things by herself.

After Bai Fangfang successfully bought the earrings, she looked around the neighborhood, and finally found Gu Ming crowded in front of the stall: "Gu Ming, why did you come here, I have been looking for you for a long time!" ”

"I want to see if there are any good things and I want to buy a gift for my grandfather." While Gu Ming answered Bai Fangfang, the movements in her hands did not stop at all.

"Then I'll pick and choose, maybe I'll hit a big luck." Bai Fangfang was also interested, rolled up her sleeves and gathered beside Gu Ming to start choosing.

Gu Ming turned her head to take a look, and found that Bai Fangfang's ears had been replaced with the pair of antique earrings she had just bought, and the synthetic ruby pendant was swaying slightly on the earlobe, which looked particularly good-looking.

Squatting in one place for a long time. The things around him were almost picked, Gu Ming moved, moved a little to the side, and continued the previous action.

"Tut-tut, what kind of things are these......" The person opposite said with a hint of disgust in his tone.

Gu Ming looked up and saw that it was actually the old man who had picked up the snuffbox in front of her before.

The old man seemed to notice Gu Ming's gaze, and he also raised his head and looked at Gu Ming.

Gu Ming was caught by others, and she was embarrassed to continue watching, so she withdrew her gaze.

"Gu Ming, what do you think of this?" Bai Fangfang didn't know where to find an agate snuffbox. It was handed to Gu Ming's eyes.

Gu Ming glanced at it, the snuff box in Bai Fangfang's hand also looked dirty, and it was a little black, but its lid was red, and it was covered with a layer of metal. It looks a bit like red coral.

Although the things were a little dirty, Gu Ming didn't pay much attention to them, and directly reached out and took the things.

Stuff as soon as you get it. Gu Ming immediately stretched out her left hand and stroked it gently, and the snuff bottle suddenly came with a heat that was not hot, a little warm, and a faint joy rose in her heart. At the same time, the sound of someone sniffing something with their nose sounded in the bottom of my heart.

Gu Ming glanced at Bai Fangfang appreciatively, and she didn't expect this girl's luck to be good. She has been looking for a long time and hasn't found a decent thing, but as soon as Bai Fangfang came, she found a genuine product.

After confirming that it was genuine, Gu Ming carefully observed the snuffbox again.

The agate snuff bottle is a type of jewelry snuff bottle, while the high-imitation snuff bottle that Gu Ming bought for her grandfather in Jingdezhen is porcelain

According to records, as early as the late Ming Dynasty, Europeans imported snuff into China. Because snuff has certain medical effects, in the early Qing Dynasty, from the royal family to the common people, snuff almost became a fashion.

With snuff. Then came the snuff bottle. Agate snuff bottles are not only relatively easy to make, but also have a natural charm. It's often hard to put down.

The agate snuff bottle should have appeared slightly later than the Hetian jade snuff bottle, and the oldest agate snuff bottle seen so far is a product of the Qianlong period. After Daoguang. With the dwindling raw materials of Hetian jade and the instability of the social economy, the low-priced agate snuff bottle has gradually become the mainstream variety of jade snuff bottle. [Marshmallow]

There is a saying in the jade carving industry, called "agate". This means that agate is ever-changing, and it can be used to create a variety of patterns and styles.

It's just that the market is now full of antique snuff bottles, so you should pay special attention when buying.

The general agate is not valuable, only the color is pure, the colors are intertwined and the colors are distinct, it is a good product. Those with light color and rough lines are inferior. In order to improve the grade of agate, counterfeiters will artificially dye agate.

At first, she thought that the snuff box that Bai Fangfang brought was black, but after wiping it with her fingers, she found that the snuff box should be dark purple.

If you look closely, from the perspective of carving and style, this should belong to the late Qing snuff bottle, and the agate does not look like it has been dyed. There is a faint texture in the middle of the agate, just like the winding of silk, this kind of agate we generally call the winding agate, it looks very beautiful, the market price should be higher than the ordinary agate.

Its lid is indeed coral, and the perimeter of the coral is wrapped with a circle of golden metal, Gu Ming guessed that it should not be real gold but gold, and the coral is also a relatively good one, the surface is very smooth, the workmanship is also very good, and there is an ear carved on both sides of the snuff bottle body.

"That's good, you go buy it." It's rare to encounter a real thing, of course, Gu Ming immediately asked Bai Fangfang to buy it, so as not to be picked up by others.

Bai Fangfang's eyes lit up, she originally just wanted to ask Gu Ming's opinion, but after the other party looked at it for a while, she directly asked her to buy it, obviously thinking that this snuff bottle was a good thing.

Aiming at the trust in Gu Ming's appraisal level, Bai Fangfang nodded at Gu Ming, and immediately took the snuffbox to the stall owner's side.

After a while, Bai Fangfang walked back happily.

"How much?" Gu Ming asked.

Bai Fangfang stretched out two fingers: "200 is about to be traded, that old man can really shout the price, and his mouth is 800 yuan." ”

"Ouch, be content!" Gu Ming gently bumped Bai Fangfang with her elbow: "As for your snuff bottle, I think it should be from the late Qing Dynasty, and the body of the pot is wrapped with silk agate, and the lid is gold-coated coral, although the bottom is a little worn, and now it looks a little dirty, but as long as you take it back and clean it up, it will be absolutely beautiful." This kind of thing is worth 5000~8000 yuan outside, and there is a similar one in Jibao Mountain House, and the condition is not as good as this, and it was sold for 5500 yuan some time ago. ”

"So I picked up a leak? I didn't expect what Uncle said to be true, this flower and bird market really hides a lot of good things, now I can make a lot of money, I must show it off after I go back, lest my father always laugh at my level. Bai Fangfang was so happy, if it weren't for the fact that the snuffbox was still dirty now, she might be able to kiss a few sips.

"Congratulations." Gu Ming said with a smile.

"Gu Ming, you are a big project, I wasn't sure that this was an antique, but you directly asked me to buy it, and I knew that I must have chosen the right one this time." Bai Fangfang took Gu Ming's arm and shook it: "What gift do you want, I'll buy it for you." ”

"Since you want to thank me so much, then give me the crystal hairpin you bought last week, I've been itching for that for a long time, but it's a pity that there is only one hairpin, and you bought it." Gu Ming glanced at Bai Fangfang.

"Hehe, this is called the first strike, I'll send you the hairpin tomorrow." Bai Fangfang said happily.

"The little girl has a good eye!" Suddenly, the old man who had been shopping for things on the opposite side smiled at Gu Ming and Bai Fangfang.

"It's just a matter of luck." Gu Ming was stunned for a moment, and after understanding that the other party was talking to them, she smiled back.

The old man smiled and shook his head, and did not continue to say anything.

"You know?" Bai Fangfang leaned into Gu Ming's ear and whispered.

"I don't know, but I think I'm an expert." Gu Ming looked at the old man's skillful movements and replied in a low voice.

"Oh." Bai Fangfang nodded, and quickly turned her attention back to the stall on the ground, she was on the rise today.

Gu Ming flipped over for a while, feeling that her back was a little sore, so she stopped and reached out to beat her waist, and happened to see a man on the right hand side holding a small box-like thing and looking through it, and then threw it aside, and picked up a small cup and looked at it.

Because women are naturally attracted to some luminous things, Gu Ming was unconsciously attracted when she saw the golden body of the box, and the moment the other party put down the box, she stretched out her right hand and picked up the box.

After getting the box, she noticed that another hand was about to reach over, and when she looked up, it was the old man who had just spoken to them on the other side.

Gu Ming smiled at the old man, and then looked down at the small box in his hand. Look at what you get your hands on first, this is a rule, unless you are the kind of arrogant and unreasonable person, generally speaking, you will not do anything impolite.

Sure enough, the old man didn't say anything when he saw this, but there was a trace of regret in his eyes.

I don't know if I don't look at it, I'm startled when I see it, no wonder the man just now only took the box and looked at it for a while before putting it down, it turned out that the upper right piece of the front of the box was pasted by someone with a layer similar to chewing gum or something, black and slimy, completely covering the front of the box, why look really disgusting.

Anyone who has ever had chewing gum on something knows that it is not very easy to clean up after it is stained, and it is not clean just by washing it with water, and it has to be carefully removed little by little.

The size of the box is about the same as a pack of cigarettes, the front is stained with dirt, and it is not clear that there are some patterns engraved on the back, with English words on it, but there is also a little chewing gum on the back, although it is not much, but it is just near those words, so that Gu Ming can't see what is written.

Gu Ming raised her eyebrows, it seems that this thing is still a foreign thing?

From the style or something, Gu Ming couldn't tell what this was, and after thinking about it, she stretched out her left hand and prepared to touch it to see if it would be a good thing.
