Chapter 7: Buying Jade

On the night in Beijing, the wind blew on my face like a knife, and I felt that my whole face was numb and not my own. The figure stretched by the lamp crawled lonely on the ground, like a ghost.

"Lao Luo, we've all walked half of Beijing City, where are we going?" The fat man was so tired that he didn't want to move.

"Hmph, it's not that you're in trouble, walk a little longer, the farther away from Panjiayuan the better," I was discouraged, leaving only a full sense of powerlessness, "Dead fatty, did you listen to me." ”

Of course, the fat man didn't listen to him, he hadn't eaten anything since noon, and he had walked so far that he had long been hungry with his chest sticking to his back, not to mention that now, a barbecue stall appeared in front of him, and the aroma of barbecue meat was like a thread that tied the fat man firmly, and the tighter and tighter he opened, and he couldn't breathe, this was the best food he had seen in his life.

"Lao Luo, let's eat something first, people are iron and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you won't be hungry." The fat man didn't dare to make a decision now, but he asked for my opinion.

"Eat, you will know that you can eat goo~~~ Okay, and I will scold you after eating." The fat man doesn't say it, I don't feel hungry yet, but the fat man mentions it, it's really hungry.

"Boss, 50 skewers of lamb and 2 bottles of beer." The fat man was affirmed, and immediately took action.

The wine and meat soon came up, and the fat man was probably hungry and crazy, so he stuffed five skewers of mutton into his mouth at the same time, regardless of the image, and picked up five skewers in his right hand and stuffed them in, not afraid of inserting himself at all.

"You eat slowly, no one will rob you, boss, another 50 skewers." I was so greedy that I was really afraid that this dead fat man would choke himself to death by stuffing 50 strings at a time.

"Fatty, it's not easy to get an antique, we are not familiar with the place, and we don't have the eye to look at antiques, if we want to make a fortune from it, sooner or later we have to drink the northwest wind." I said worriedly.

The fat man poured the wine into his stomach, stuffed a skewer of mutton, and said vaguely, "I don't understand any of this, you have the final say, and I will do my best then." ”

I didn't speak, squinted at a person walking slowly, wearing a gray gown, a pair of black old Beijing cloth shoes, neatly combed hair shining in the light, a brimmed hat and a pair of sunglasses made people feel curious. It's a pity that the erhu is missing, otherwise it is similar to the blind man who pulls the erhu.

The man was not polite, he pulled out his seat and sat next to me, shouting at the barbecue stand, "Boss, come have three bottles of beer and more mutton." ”

I looked at him, the atmosphere was a little depressing, I could feel that my heartbeat had accelerated uncontrollably, and I didn't think to say anything, the other party spoke, "Where are the brothers, we have a fate today, I invited this meal." ”

I have nothing to say, there are more destined people today, "Doesn't it feel unreasonable for the eldest brother to ask others without reporting his own door first?" I asked boldly.

"Haha, then it's me who is reckless, my surname is Zhao, my name is Wei Nan," the person explained, "I am a native of Beijing. ”

"My name is Luo Yan, his name is Luo Huasheng, and we are from the Northeast. If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, does Brother Zhao have anything to do with us? I didn't bother to go around in circles with him, and asked him directly about his intentions.

The atmosphere has become a little weird, and I want to meet the gangsters on the beach for the old time, and as long as they don't agree with each other, they will meet each other. It's a pity that I don't have a little brother to help. After all, there is a little less momentum.

"Haha, brother, refreshed." was exposed by someone, Zhao Weinan was not embarrassed, and said unhurriedly, "I heard that Brother Luo has a piece of fine ancient jade from the Han Dynasty, I don't know if I can borrow it and let me take a look." ”

I felt suffocated, I couldn't breathe well, I didn't expect to walk half of Beijing City, I just sat down and could only shake my head helplessly, or underestimate this place.

"Brother doesn't want to." Zhao Weinan felt a little disappointed.

"No, Brother Zhao misunderstood, I don't understand jade, it's okay for Brother Zhao to help me take a look!" I'm telling the truth, I really don't understand that. took out the jade from the bag and handed it to Zhao Weinan, looking at the fat man's eating appearance, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and threw a chopstick over, "Eat, you know how to eat, you don't need money." ”

The fat man was so angry with me, how dare he eat, moved his seat out and looked at me without speaking.

Zhao Weinan looked at it and smiled: "You two brothers are really a tacit understanding." Brother Luo, there are rules on the road, you let your brother block my retreat, is it possible that I am afraid that I will run away with the jade. ”

smiled apologetically, "Brother Zhao, don't laugh, our two brothers have just debuted, how can we do without a heart, you can just look at it." He glanced at the fat man, and the fat man sat back and ate.

Zhao Weinan looked at Gu Yu just like the old pervert looked at the ** beauty, his eyes were golden, if it weren't for the two of us, he might have to kiss each other.

I looked panicked, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhao, what do you think of this jade?" ”

Zhao Weinan didn't answer, he still looked carefully, and looked at the roadside from time to time, and said after a long time, "The jade is the best Hetian jade, and it is almost the best sheep fat jade, and the pattern on it is the dragon reflecting the sun, which is in line with the style of the Han Dynasty, and it is even more rare that such a small piece of jade is not only embossed, but also carved, and it takes decades just to polish it." What a pity! What a pity! So much jade, but there is a flaw" After speaking, Zhao Weinan was silent, as if thinking about something.

The fat man couldn't stand it anymore, and asked anxiously, "It's not perfect, where is it not perfect, I look pretty good." ”

Zhao Weinan glanced at me meaningfully, "There is a grasshopper in the soil, but it is the shell Lang pushing the dung." ”

The fat man and I were petrified on the spot, what grasshoppers and what pushed dung, weren't we talking about jade? Zhao Weinan is talking in black words, grasshoppers are experts at making holes, and dung is a treasure in the ground for the shell. In the whole sentence, Zhao Weinan was asking Luo Yan if this was a treasure stolen from the tomb.

Seeing that the two of them didn't react, he couldn't help sighing, "Brother Luo, this jade is very good, but with this defect, it can only be sold for three thousand in your hands, and it can be sold for hundreds of thousands in my hands, I suffer a loss, can I buy it with 100,000?" Zhao Weinan's face was sincere, and Tong Su was not deceived.

The fat man opened his mouth wide, the mutton skewers slipped from his mouth, stretched out his greasy fingers, and said something in his mouth, "Just such a broken stone is worth hundreds of thousands." Fifty skewers of mutton are only fifteen pieces, and a hundred thousand is one hundred skewers, a thousand skewers, ten thousand skewers, and one ...... Lots of lamb skewers. ”

China has only been developed for a few years, and the millionaires at that time are equivalent to the billionaires they are now, and I didn't expect this stone to be worth so much money as a toy in my childhood.

"Brother Zhao, this is my heirloom, I can't sell it." I said it earnestly.

Zhao Weinan was stunned for a moment, "This, otherwise I will add another 10,000, and no more." ”

I shook my head, determined. Zhao Weinan was helpless and returned the jade to me.

"Brother Zhao, can you take the liberty of asking, what is the defect of this jade, I want to know about it." I asked

"Many people know about this flaw, and it doesn't hurt to tell you. Jade is the emperor in the stone, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, pregnant with a jade soul, wearing it on people can delay people's aging, remove people's impurities, and bring good luck. The quality of the jade depends on whether it is clear, whether it has charm, although your jade is a good jade, but there is less aura, less jade soul. Zhao Weinan explained.

"Then what should this jade soul think?" I'm a complete novice on the road and don't understand anything.

Zhao Weinan took the jade, looked at the light, and took out another piece of jade from his sleeve, "Look at the difference between these two pieces of jade under the light." ”

The fat man looked left and right, and didn't see the reason, "Aren't they all the same?" ”

"A piece of jade is a little more transparent, and the figures carved on it seem to come to life. Although my piece of jade is well carved, it lacks a spiritual charm. I said.

"Well, yes, jade is no different from ordinary stones without aura." Zhao Weinan praised.

"Then how do you make jade have aura?" The fat man asked.

"Jade has the ability to distinguish the essence of a person, and the same jade will have different effects on different people, so in ancient times there was a system of grading by jade, and jade will only lose its spirituality in one case, that is, it will be placed in a cold and filthy place for a long time, the filth will invade, and the essence will be dispersed, and it is not difficult to reunite the aura. Find a virgin who has not **, let her wear it for eight years and ten years, and use the virgin's body to remove the impurities in the jade, which is called feeding, and the jade helps people remove impurities is a reason, and let the virgin use his own yin source to reunite the aura, which is called Panyu. Zhao Weinan said in detail.

This night, I chatted with Zhao Weinan for a long time, and learned a lot of knowledge about antiques, Zhao Weinan left a business card, he meant that when we want to sell or have better goods, we can go to Gu Bao Zhai to find him. What annoys me even more is that Zhao Weinan, the bastard who said that he was a good treat, ran away, and I went to the countryside with the fat man, and the hard-earned 200 quick money shrank by half.

The reason for Zhao Weinan's escape is that the teacher doesn't need money, and this one is a thousand cuts.
