Chapter 441: Yu Yue Dragon Gate Turns into a Dragon
The carriage and horse parts in the cabinet, Zhang Yang is not uninterested.
There are many cultural relics from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and they can also be made into a special showcase in their own museums.
But for one trip, Old Tang dared to call 300,000.
The rest of the carriage and horse pieces, especially one with an inscription on it, the price, I really can't think of it.
I bought jade inlaid copper because this kind of metal and jade combined with chariots and horses are very rare and can fill the gap in archaeology.
There are many simple bronze chariots and horses in the museum.
Zhang Yang assessed it and felt that there was no need to spend this unjust money.
In fact, this kind of bronze, as long as it is not robbed from tombs in recent decades, is basically left unattended.
Zhang Yang even felt that as long as it was not a national treasure, a small number of genuine bronzes were not a big deal to circulate in the market.
In the past, there may have been high prices of bronzes, which led to rampant tomb robbers, but now, there are thousands of fake bronzes on the market, and tomb robbers say that they dug up the things in their hands, and ordinary people will not believe it.
Tomb robbers should first grab the market with counterfeiters.
Zhang Yang's purpose of asking Lao Tang to show the "Collection Registration Certificate" was more to help Lao Chu find out the ghosts in the team.
With such insects, how can you do a good job of cultural conservation?
As for the old jade, Zhang Yang really wanted to prepare some gifts.
Whether it is the Chu family or the Ma family, there are many female elders.
Sending gold and silver directly or something, it looks tacky, a bit of historical old jewelry or ornaments, it is very good, in line with the identity of the two families.
"Jade is good." Hearing Zhang Yang's words, Old Tang hurriedly echoed.
His wife is wearing the old jadeite of the Qing Dynasty, and she is swaggering outside the market, of course he has all kinds of fakes here, and he was originally prepared to pit people on the jadeite.
Originally, Old Tang was still thinking about how to shift Zhang Yang and Xiao Chu's attention from those antiques to jade.
I didn't expect Zhang Yang to send it to the door.
Old Tang's mouth was about to crack with laughter.
"Two, when it comes to the jade of the Qing Dynasty, what we can't get around is this wrench."
"You two look over here, look at this, the jade wrench of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty."
"You must know that making such a wrench consumes three times more jadeite material than ordinary jade. Unless someone spends a lot of money on customization, there is basically no jade merchant willing to make such a thing......"
"Forget about the jade wrench, this thing smells like Lafayette, and my grandmothers won't like it."
Chu Ziqiang rejected Lao Tang very directly.
The reason is a bit strange, but Old Tang can't refute it.
Although Jade rose to fame because of Lafayette, her reputation is really not very good, and perhaps except for the descendants of the Eight Banners, few people will feel that it is a good thing to be like Galeries Lafayette.
"It's okay, it's okay." Old Don was not discouraged.
He has all kinds of jadeite here, and he doesn't believe that the two young people in front of him can find a reason to refuse them all.
"Jade Ruyi, how's it going? This thing has been a treasure since ancient times. ”
"The history of our Huaxia Ruyi can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty at the earliest. Jade Ruyi, meaning 'turn back'. Legend has it that in ancient times, when soldiers were fighting abroad, in order to pray for safety and return home safely, the family would let the soldiers wear a piece of jade and jade Ruyi before departure......" explained the old Tang Rushu.
"Okay, okay, then you can take out this Ruyi and take a look." Zhang Yang interrupted Old Tang's popular science.
A good antique shop owner, full of nonsense, want to take the public exam?
Zhang Yang has only heard of "wishful thinking, according to my heart", isn't this better than the meaning of soldiers wearing wishful?
"Hey, you're discerning."
Old Tang smiled embarrassedly.
He carefully took out a piece of jade Ruyi from the cabinet, and blew lightly, blowing off the thin layer of ash on it.
After blowing the ash off, even Chu Ziqiang found that something was wrong with this jadeite wish.
The Tuqin on it is a bit heavy.
The middle and end of Ruyi have been eroded to the point that even the color has changed.
Unearthed artifacts?
"Boss, what age are you?" Chu Ziqiang asked curiously.
"Ancient." Old Tang replied with a slippery head.
He also noticed Xiao Chu and Zhang Yang's eyes, and secretly said in his heart that something was wrong.
This fake has been sitting for too long, and now something is wrong with the original method of using knock + chemical dyeing to fake.
Therefore, the originally prepared "late Qing Dynasty" rhetoric is a bit unspeakable, because in more than a hundred years, the real jadeite will not be eroded like this at all.
"Good, good, ancient, right?"
Chu Ziqiang smiled.
"Then if I'm not mistaken, this should be a jadeite, right?"
"You've got a good eye." Old Tang smiled awkwardly, very casually, and removed the Ruyi just now from the counter.
Although this seems to be a bit of a clown for his cautious appearance just now, it is better than putting it outside and slapping himself in the face all the time.
Moreover, Old Tang is not only patient, but also thick-skinned.
He himself denied what he had just said: "Actually, the meaning of wishful thinking is really not good. ”
"Let's come and see the Jade Guanyin!"
"Guanyin, you don't need to introduce it, we all know it." Xiao Chu waved his hand in advance and gave Old Tang a silent spell.
"I have heard a saying that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, we buy jadeite, it is to give to the female elders in the family, this Guanyin is exempt."
"Buddha? I also have the jade Buddha statue here, how about Maitreya Buddha? ”
"Does the Jade Maitreya Buddha have anything to say?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.
He was really a little curious, whether this old Tang had prepared a corresponding explanation for every jade in the store.
"Of course, there is a saying, Maitreya Buddha is informal, everything is put into a smile, and the big belly can accommodate the world. This means that the person who wears it can be open-minded and smile often......"
Old Tang showed an exaggerated smile, not to mention, it really looked a bit like Maitreya Buddha.
But alas, his smile is as fake as the jade in his shop.
Zhang Yang swept it and didn't find a real old jade pendant.
He quietly frowned at Chu Ziqiang, who immediately understood and understood that the Maitreya Buddha jade pendants in this store were all fake.
So after listening to Lao Tang talk about the many uses of the Jade Maitreya Buddha, Xiao Chu said coldly:
"You're saying that, but the elders in my family have this kind of pendant, so let's change it!"
Burst~
Old Tang almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood in his heart.
Didn't you say this earlier? I said I wasn't here for a long time.
"Why don't you two see for yourself?" Old Tang was a little tired.
"Okay, let's take a look at this jade statue of a fish turning into a dragon." Zhang Yang pointed to the baby in the counter and said.
It was the only old thing he found.
It's a gold pan in the sand.
"Fish into dragons? The boss is really a connoisseur. Old Tang instantly came back to his strength.
"Our ancient great poet Li Bai has a poem: The three-foot carp of the Yellow River, originally in Mengjinju, does not become a dragon, and returns with ordinary fish. is the story of the carp jumping over the dragon gate. ”
"In our ancient ......"
"Well, let's stop." Zhang Yang couldn't hold back, "Boss Tang, you take out the things first and I'll take a look, okay?" ”
"Oh, I forgot, I'm sorry."
Old Tang hurriedly took out the jade-carved fish dragon in the cabinet.
One is a fish, the other is a dragon, surrounded by clouds and water splashes, showing the carp jumping over the dragon gate.
There is a mahogany base underneath, carved with sea water patterns, which perfectly matches the theme of the statue and should be original.
Zhang Yang took a closer look and had a bottom on this thing.
After Lao Tang finished saying all the words, Zhang Yang said slowly: "Boss, you thing, the material of jadeite is not very good." ”
"Yellow is not yellow, green is not green, why does it look so much like a scrap carving?"
"The boss doesn't know." Old Tang explained very skillfully, "This is a treasure from the late Qing Dynasty, and the perception of jadeite at that time was different from now. ”
"Let's look at jadeite now, pay attention to a pure, transparent, and moist, but hundreds of years ago, whether it was Qianlong or Lafayette, there was only one requirement for jadeite, which was beautiful."
"The most obvious, let's just say that the jade cabbage that is known as a national treasure, in terms of material and carving, it is not as good as the jade carved by the machine now, but people are still the treasure of the town hall."
"So when we look at the ornaments of the old jadeite, we mainly look at the cultural atmosphere."
"Makes sense." Zhang Yang nodded violently like a budding newcomer who had been fooled and lame.
"How much are you going to sell this fish dragon statue?"
"The price......" Old Tang touched his forehead and pretended to think.
He wondered how much money he was going to make a fool of them.
It's expensive, and he's afraid that they won't accept it.
This jade fish dragon was bought by him in the ghost market, and it cost him more than 30,000 yuan at that time, and he smashed it in his hand when he bought it.
Old Tang thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said:
"I'll give a preliminary price first, 430,000, you two can bargain."
"How much?" Chu Ziqiang suspected that he had misheard.
Just now, Zhang Yang clearly told this Boss Tang that the material of this jadeite is not good, how can the price be so outrageous.
"Four hundred and thirty thousand, don't you hear clearly?" Zhang Yang repeated to Xiao Chu.
Then he turned his head and stretched out his right hand to Old Tang: "Deal." ”
……
"Isn't it, Brother Yang, this thing is really worth 400,000?"
It's been almost half an hour since he came out of the old Tang antique store, and Xiao Chu still can't rest assured that the jade fish dragon statue in the trunk is still relieved.
Although the antique of the Western Zhou Dynasty is also expensive, it is still there in the old age.
"A thing in the late Qing Dynasty, no matter how expensive it is, is it not worth the price?"
"Late Qing Dynasty? Who told you that? Zhang Yang smiled directly.
"Huh? Which is? Xiao Chu also understood, and guessed, "Qing three generations? ”
"Guess a little more carefully." Zhang Yang encouraged.
"Qianlong's?"
"That's right." Zhang Yang touched his chin and said with a smile, "And it's an ornament used by the palace emperor." ”
"How do you see that?"
Zhang Yang was just about to explain, but Xiao Chu stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Brother Yang, don't speak, I'll analyze it myself first."
"Is it because of the yellow part above? In ancient times, yellow was the color that only emperors could use, and the same was true for dragons. ”
"Right?"
"Not far off." Zhang Yang replied approvingly.
"You have indeed grown, but I can determine the age of this thing, because I took advantage of the boss's inattention, and took a look at the base of the jade inlay, directly below the jade, in the place where it was covered, there were a few small characters [Qianlong Year of the Great Qing Dynasty]."
"Huh? When was this? ”
Xiao Chu recalled it and found that he couldn't remember when Zhang Yang lifted the base.
Of course he couldn't think of it, because Zhang Yang hadn't set it off to see it at all.
It is completely displayed with item information.
Old Tang has been making up stories about the down-and-out royal nobles, but he doesn't know that the jade he picked up from the big willow ghost market is the real treasure sold by the descendants of the royal family.
In a way, he wasn't really lying.
"Forget it, I can't remember." Chu Ziqiang gave up thinking and asked Zhang Yang instead, "Brother Yang, what should be the actual price of this thing?" ”
"Double the price of Old Don." Zhang Yang said without thinking.
"Just double?" Xiao Chu was a little dissatisfied, "It's too little, right?" ”
He thought he could add a zero to the end.
It seems that he made a small profit of 400,000 yuan, but if you count the clothes, you actually didn't make any money.
"I knew I was bargaining with the boss just now." Chu Ziqiang said with a regretful face.
He thought that for every dollar he talked about, he would earn an extra dollar.
But Zhang Yang refuted his idea.
"What's the price, let's go to the ghost market early, isn't it better than anything?"
Zhang Yang couldn't tell Xiao Chu that he found a lot of modern antiques in Lao Tang, all of which were collected by Lao Tang himself in the Big Willow Ghost Market.
There is really a leak in the ghost market.
So he can only say from another angle:
"Think about it, the big willow tree is so famous, I must be more than one master at night, if we go late, we won't even have leftovers to eat."
"Makes sense." Chu Ziqiang nodded thoughtfully, and the accelerator under his feet couldn't help but step a little deeper.
On the way back to the big willow trading market, the green light was all the way, and the two of them arrived at the door of the parking lot before nine o'clock.
But the situation in the parking lot surprised the two.
During the day, it is still a serious parking lot, but at night, there are all kinds of cars, driving trunks and setting up stalls in it?
The parking space has turned into a stall?
"Shall we still drive in this car?" Chu Ziqiang hesitated a little.
"What are you going to do, just find a place to pull over."
Zhang Yang was a little excited when he saw the scene inside.
Use the trunk of a car as a stall in a ghost market, this is a cyber ghost market!
If there were ruins and fires around, it would be a bit of a doomsday rush.
The two packed up their belongings, quickly got out of the car, and walked to the parking lot.
At the entrance, each person spent five yuan to buy a small head-mounted flashlight, so that it was convenient to wait for a while.
When scanning the code to pay, the aunt who sold the goods took the initiative to talk and asked Zhang Yang:
"It's your first time in the ghost market, right?"
"yes, obviously?"
"It's kind of obvious, veterans usually bring their own lights."
"Since this is the first time I've come, let me give you a little advice."
"Oh?" Zhang Yang raised his head and looked at the aunt curiously, "Please speak." ”
"The first point is: look at the goods without asking the price, according to the goods do not look at the people. Can you two understand? ”
"This is easy to understand, we all understand." Chu Ziqiang replied.
"Well, there's a second point then. Stay away from cameras, especially those of women with heavy makeup. ”
"Why is that?" Xiao Chu asked if he didn't understand.
"Because this kind of people don't come to the ghost market to do business, they are here for live broadcast, and they will deliberately find passers-by to do the effect of the show."
"If you're going to be targeted, especially this handsome guy." The aunt pointed at Zhang Yang, with a smile on her face, "Then you will suffer an old sin." ”
