Chapter Ninety-Four: Old Kangtou
What Li Youcai didn't expect was that when he went out to collect rags today, he actually encountered an incident like a thief breaking into a house and robbing a house. And I took the opportunity to find something that looks ordinary, but is actually of extraordinary value.
After Li Youcai got the rough piece of jade, he got up and said goodbye to Yi Xin and left in a hurry.
He didn't even dare to come out, for fear that Yi Xin would regret it halfway and ask for this jade material back.
It wasn't until he went downstairs and pedaled a tricycle out of the everbright community that Li Youcai exhaled. If he weren't still on the street, he would have even wanted to shout out loud as a way to express his excitement.
I used to want to Taobao Taobao, but most of it was just a fantasy, a daydream......
However, just now in Yi Xin's home, this stepping stone under the table leg of the dining table made Li Youcai's eyes shine, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, I don't know why, Li Youcai had an intuition that this piece of jade was treated as a waste material and used to pad the table legs, which was definitely a big violent thing.
Its actual value is definitely much more than it seems!
Li Youcai did not rush home, but stopped the car on the side of the road. He carefully took the piece of jade out of his pocket and put it in the palm of his hand.
This piece of jade, about the size of half a palm, is dark green in appearance, although the body is relatively large, but the material is relatively thin, and the surface texture is also a little rough, if it is placed in the pile of stones, people may disdain, this looks like an ordinary stone.
But Li Youcai can clearly see that if the dust on its surface is wiped off and then put under the sun, he can vaguely see that through the refraction of the sun's rays, this piece of jade is not the same as the shape in the house. If it is indoors, this piece of jade is completely dark green, dull, like a broken stone.
But under the sun, the inner quality of this piece of jade will shine brightly, and with the swing of the hand, it will refract a trace of pale green light, as if there is a different world in this piece of jade......
"Go find Old Kangtou. Li Youcai pedaled the tricycle and did not follow the road he came, but drove in the opposite direction.
About 10 minutes.
Li Youcai had already pedaled his bicycle and came to the door of a courtyard.
This courtyard house is an old-fashioned residence in Jiangyun City, and it is estimated that it existed seventy or eighty years ago, and it has been preserved until now. Deep in the old alleys, there is no bustle and hustle and bustle of the city center.
In this quadrangle, the lime on the surface of the outer layer has been detached, revealing a layer of red bricks and cement, and the mottled image seems to have lost its most luxurious and famous lime appearance.
But it doesn't affect in the slightest, and it has a status symbol.
There will be no more than 20 courtyard houses like this in the entire Jiangyun City. Even if you want to buy, it's often priceless. Without four or five million, you can't get down at all.
Young people may have disdained to live in such a deserted and depressed place. And the person Li Youcai came to find today is of course not a young man, but an old man who loves all kinds of collections, Lao Kangtou.
"Old Kangtou, open the door. Li Youcai snapped the knocker.
In this way, outside the door, Li Youcai buckled the knocker nearly 20 times in total, and his throat was hoarse.
Finally, this old door creaked open from the inside.
"You boy, get in. An old and depressed voice came from inside, and he didn't mean to open the door wide to welcome Li Youcai.
The old man opened the door, only to see that he had messy white hair, his eyes were empty, and he sighed that the stubble had crawled all over his chin, and the whole person looked a little depressed, as if he couldn't keep his spirits up.
He didn't even look at Li Youcai, how did he come here and how did he walk back to the original room, as if he didn't welcome Li Youcai, an uninvited guest.
"Hey, old Kangtou, the old friend is here, and you don't welcome it, so you just leave in a sullen voice, it's not interesting at all. Li Youcai was not surprised at all, but teased.
Li Youcai walked on the road and enjoyed the scenery in the courtyard.
"Don't say it, this old Kangtou really has some taste. Li Youcai thought in his heart.
In the courtyard, you can see some flowers and plants planted by the old Kangtou everywhere. Lush and bright, red and green, can give people great visual satisfaction.
There are five colors of tulips, and as we all know, there are many varieties of tulips, and the eye color is also different.
It would be nice to be able to raise a tulip well.
But in Lao Kangtou's yard, there are yellow, pink, white, purple, and black. And it is the moment when the flowers bloom, colorful, containing stunning beauty, vigorous and vibrant.
Other daffodils, osmanthus, morning glories, epiphyllas, red roses, and many other flowers are all available, and the courtyard is dotted with a sea of colors.
To the east of the courtyard, there was a huge camphor tree, although it was now full of yellow leaves, withered and cold. But it doesn't affect it at all, and it achieves a different kind of beauty.
Li Youcai walked around this courtyard with his hands behind his back, admiring this very pure natural beauty.
Following the bluestone slabs laid out on the ground, Li Youcai walked into the hall facing the door.
If you talk about the flowers and plants outside, it's just an embellishment.
Then these endless antiques and collectibles in the back room are truly eye-opening.
From the first bicycle of the "Eagle" brand to the snuff bottle that carves beautiful landscapes. There are a lot of old antiques, maybe you have only heard of them, but you have never seen them, almost all of them are here in Lao Kangtou.
At this time, Lao Kangtou was sitting upright in front of an old table of sandalwood, his eyes squinted, and he was concentrating, and he was carefully wiping a piece of white jade in his hand with a piece of silk cloth like a brocade cloth wrapped around his hand.
Li Youcai knew that it was Lao Kangtou's favorite mutton fat white jade, warm and luxurious, it can be said to be the best top jade, and it is naturally a sky-high price.
"Old Kangtou, don't stay at home all day long, play with your antiques, you can go out for a walk and have fun when you have time. Li Youcai said with a smile.
"Hmph, what's there to see in the flower world outside, I might as well stay in the house, deal with these old things, feel comfortable and do whatever I want!"
Lao Kang raised his head and replied with a loud word, then lowered his head again and gently wiped his mutton fat white jade.
Lao Kangtou is this temperament, and he loves treasures like life. The reason why Li Youcai knocked on the door so many times outside just now that the door opened. On the one hand, it is because Lao Kangtou's ears are not very good, and he has some back.
On the other hand, he doesn't want others to disturb him playing with his treasures......
Li Youcai saw what he had said, Lao Kangtou was not interested at all, nor was he angry, but touched his nose and smiled: "It's really unfortunate, I went out for a walk today, and it seems that I really found a piece of jade, but I don't know if it's good or not, hey, it's really tangled." Li Youcai said seemingly casually, and at the same time sat down on the chair opposite the desk, crossing Erlang's legs, looking like a second-rate child.
"Jade, you can still find jade, you know what jade is, you can find it." ”
"Hehe, I am brave and brave, do good deeds, and others give them. Li Youcai spread his hands, looking very helpless, which seemed to say: No way, my brother's character is so good, I can't stop it!
"The jade that was sent, what kind of good jade could it be?!" Lao Kangtou's original interest in being hung up was gone.
The two are old friends, and Lao Kangtou once taught Li Youcai a few tricks on a whim, and a little trick to judge whether a piece of jade is a good jade or a waste jade.
Lao Kangtou, he thought that Li Youcai had found some treasure, and when he heard that it was a waste jade sent by someone else, he immediately lost interest, and gently wiped the mutton fat white jade for a while, playing left and right, and was overjoyed in his heart, as if a young man had seen his fanatical favorite movie......
"Okay, if Lao Kangtou can't see it, then I'll go to someone else for identification. Li Youcai pretended to be very sorry, got up and was about to leave, and when he left, he also threw out a sentence as bait: "I saw that piece of jade, it seems to be a little lake blue..."
"Hmm... Hurry up, don't bother me if you're fine.... uh...wait, what did you just do....Lake Blue!?"
Originally, Lao Kangtou's expression was still a pool of stagnant water, and he was occasionally playing with mutton fat and white jade, so he would be half energetic, but after hearing the word lake blue, he suddenly raised his head suddenly, stared at Li Youcai, and asked in disbelief!
