The Ruins of the South China Sea Chapter 7 Ancient Jade in the Sea (I)

Uncle Ming complained: "Is there any mistake, what elixir haven't you seen with these three friends?" These rotten green heads are not in our eyes at all, do you have anything decent? If not, don't waste our time. ”

Breaking the force and said: "There are indeed good things on the island of the Coral Temple, but you have to try your luck, you are too unlucky, a few days ago a group of French people found a Ming Dynasty treasure ship in the trench, very well preserved, the green heads inside are the same as new, and the people behind heard the news and rushed to go, the treasure ship is only left with the frame, I still have the last box, it is the green head at the bottom of my box, I am willing to take it out when I meet a big connoisseur, and several brothers are ...... on it." ”

As he spoke, he limped out a dilapidated wooden box, the box emitted a fishy smell, and when the wooden lid was lifted, there were several layers of dirty soft cloth inside, and when he peeled it off layer by layer, I and the big gold tooth and the others looked into the wooden box carelessly. But it doesn't matter if I look at it, I feel like my body is suddenly electrocuted, our eyes seem to be firmly sucked by these green heads, and we can't take our eyes off anymore, except for the fat man, Uncle Ming and I, and the big gold tooth all stood up "poof", and couldn't wait to ask the martial arts: "Where did you get these green heads?" ”

In the wooden box that "broke the martial arts" and finally took out, there were a bunch of strange ancient jade, some were shaped like porcelain pieces, some were shaped like dry bones, and some were shaped like beast horn and animal teeth, not only the shape was strange and strange, the color of these ancient jade was even more mottled and bizarre, because it was a green head of water, it was eroded by the natural environment in the sea, so it was mainly dark gray, but some parts of the water were particularly soaked, or the color was like ginger, or the color was like rotten sauce, and there were also bright marks such as red dates.

The big gold tooth is the most refined jade way, and when he saw this box of green heads, the gold teeth and eyes in his mouth suddenly lit up together. Where the sea out of the millennium ancient jade, often no one is perfect, the ancients Tibetan jade has three taboos, avoid oil, avoid dirt, avoid fishy, greasy things will block the fine pores of jade, so that the jade can not be crystal moist, lost the blue light of chalcedony, the ancient jade in the sea has been immersed for a long time, the fishy liquid in the sea water and the salt brine contained in the sea fishy gas, the filth of the things occludes the jade body and soil door, so that most of these jade are injured.

Uncle Ming is also a person who knows the goods, but his knowledge is judged from the authenticity of the shape of the utensils, seeing that these blue-headed jade objects are all simple and rare things, and the age is not shallow, so he discussed with the big gold tooth in a low voice, how valuable can this box of blue-headed goods be?

The big gold tooth pouted and said: "These green heads are afraid that they have been at the bottom of the sea for thousands of years, and they are by no means things in the shipwrecks of the sea route, there are semi-exposed textures, there are non-exposed textures, and there are slightly exposed textures, and the preservation process is very different, but the shape is all antiquities of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, this isolated island on the sea can see these real things, it is really puzzling, you see that there are glass-like lights in some places, it is really varied, but the ancient jade is like this, the more ancient the more strange, how can the secular people understand the mystery? According to me, these things are worth a lot if they are valuable, they are not worth anything if they are not worth anything, and whether they are worth anything depends on what they say. ”

The big gold tooth and the fat man, Uncle Ming muttered how to bargain with the "breaking martial arts", but I looked at the jade in the box out of the half-heavenly god, in Yunnan "Offering the King's Tomb", I have seen countless treasures, there are naturally many jade artifacts in the Qin and Han dynasties, but this box of blue-headed goods from the sea actually surprised me, all of them are ancient jade in the Yin Shang period, and the shapes are rare, especially one of them has a jade woman's head, the eyebrows are realistic and expressive, wearing a fishbone crown, the neck is slender, densely covered with scales, because there is only a head, the neck below is missing, So I can't tell if it was originally a human head and a snake body, or other different shapes, this jade head is something we have never seen in our lives, and we have never even heard of such a thing.

These strange ancient jade artifacts are easy to distinguish between true and false, since the Song Dynasty, some people have used chicken blood to soak in the blood of the corpse, and there are also fried in the oil pot and soaked in the pit, but those who know how to hold it in the palm of their hands, then the authenticity is immediately distinguished, and with a little identification, we know that the batch of green heads in the hands of the "breaking martial arts" is indeed an ancient relic, is this female jade head, is the antiquities of the country of hatred mentioned by Professor Chen? It seems that this coral spiral sea area is really not simple, I immediately asked the tavern old wrench "breaking the force", where did these green heads come from?

He said: "Brother, you are all people who know how to trade in the market, I don't dare to be fooled by you, tell you the truth, a few months ago tsunami, there was a huge beast corpse floating out of the sea, and after the sea receded, it died on the beach, due to the heat, it rotted quickly, no one could see what kind of sea beast this thing was, but look at the size of the humpback whale is two sizes bigger, it is estimated that it is a monster in the deep sea, this rare sea beast has the wreckage of a small boat in its belly, and the cabin contains these green heads, So you smell it a little bit? I couldn't think of anything to get rid of, I thought it might be that the unlucky ghost who fished for the green head was caught in a shipwreck and was swept to the bottom of the sea, and let the thing be swallowed, and then I took the box from the fishermen. ”

The coral forest at the bottom of the sea does have a large number of monuments, but there are not many that can be found, don't look at the jade is damaged, and it has been soaked in the seabed for a long time, but the year is there, this kind of green head can only be seen once in decades, and there are many people who want to buy it.

I am skeptical of the words of "breaking the martial arts", who knows if he got the green head from the belly of the sea monster, or the black goods that the pirates robbed to sell the stolen goods, but these are not important, the key is that we have taken a fancy to this batch of goods, in case we can't find the bone mirror of King Qin, pick a few ancient jade from the country of hatred and hand it to Professor Chen, which can be regarded as an explanation.

At this time, the big golden tooth and others also finished discussing in private, and I hinted that the big golden tooth went to bargain with the "broken martial arts", and the big golden tooth immediately grinned at the "broken martial arts": "I said martial arts, don't look at you as a special person for receiving green heads, but you don't necessarily know the jade way, to be honest, your green heads are really hot." ”

Transaction Qingtou is good, trading tools are good, if the buyer and seller are knowledgeable to deal with each other, and the usual one to buy and sell is very different, one is to come to Japan for a long time, do this line can not be with peers to make a hammer deal, the second is the antique industry is a display of vision, courage and financial resources of the industry, do not have enough knowledge is not good, buyers and sellers negotiate the price, do not fight for the slightest, but to convince people. You say that your thing is worth or is not worth much, then you have to say something convincing, so antiques are also called cultural toys, can not be as rough as buying and selling livestock, antique trading is done, buyers and sellers can have a long experience, peer-to-peer transactions focus on improving their own level, in this case the price is secondary, because some knowledge can not be bought with money.
