Chapter 122: Meet Master Ma Again
"However, based on the color of your dog jade, it should be added with chemicals, and it is estimated that it will take out of the ground in a few months, and it is not worth much at all......
As he spoke, Cheng Ming pointed out some of the forged features on the jade one by one.
Cheng Ming explained in such detail that Tian Dazhuang understood that even if he was stupid, he should have bought a fake, which made his face pale, and he was immediately ready to take the thing and return it.
Seeing this, Cheng Ming stopped Tian Dazhuang and pulled him aside: "If you just go over like this, you will definitely not be able to retreat." ”
Tian Dazhuang said angrily: "This thing is fake, why can't it be returned? There is also a provision in the law that one fake one will pay ten, and I don't ask him to lose money, which can be regarded as the best of benevolence and righteousness." ”
Cheng Ming asked, "Then when you bought it, what did the seller say?"
Tian Dazhuang replied: "He said that he bought this jade cicada from an old man, and the ancestor of the old man's family was the champion, and because there was something in the family, the old man would sell the jade cicada." ”
The joke he said can basically be made up by everyone in the antique market. I'll just say one thing, if the bloody jade cicada is real, it is also a funeral item, even now, there are some people who don't like this kind of jade and feel unlucky, let alone the former eunuchs. You would believe such an obvious lie, which really convinced you. ”
Seeing Tian Dazhuang's ashamed look, Cheng Ming shook his head, and then said: "As for the reason why you can't retreat, it's actually simple, this jade cicada is indeed made of jade, and he didn't lie to you, how can you retreat?"
Tian Dazhuang was a little dumbfounded: "But the jade cicada is obviously fake!"
"That can only be said to be a flaw, but as long as he bites the jade is real, he can not retreat. ”
Seeing Cheng Ming say this, Tian Dazhuang immediately became anxious: "Isn't this a clear lie?"
Cheng Ming said: "The antique market is like this, because it is common for the antique industry to make eyes and pick up leaks, and you can say that you can retreat, so what if you miss them? Is it possible for the seller to ask you back? Will you make up the huge profits generated by the leakage to the other party? This is impossible." Therefore, from this point of view, this rule is also reasonable, and it cannot be returned to others, nor is it allowed to be returned!"
Tian Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, patted his head in annoyance, and said without tears: "What can I do about this, I spent 1,200 yuan!"
When Cheng Ming heard this, he was very helpless: "Why are you so brainless, do you know how much this jade cicada will cost if it is real? At least it can be sold for fifty or sixty thousand, if it is true, you will sell it to you for such a small amount of money when you treat him as a charity? You really want to get rich, and your brain is dizzy!"
Seeing his friend's face like ashes, he couldn't bear to say more: "Speaking of which, I blame me a little bit for this, and I shouldn't have said it in the first place." Well, I'll help you solve this matter today, but I warn you, if you dare to touch this business next time, our friends won't have to do it!"
Tian Dazhuang came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Brother Ming, I don't blame you for this, it's all my own greed for money, don't bother, I will swallow the bitter fruit I planted myself." ”
"Swallow your head!"
Cheng Ming knocked Tian Dazhuang on the head and scolded: "You stand here and wait for me to come!"
With that, he walked towards the stall not far away.
In the antique market, there are often many people who are lively, and there are few people who buy, just like this stall, there is a large group of people just now, seeing that no one is buying, and half of it will be dispersed after a while, only a few people are still picking and choosing there, to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, and there are some idle people talking and laughing around.
Cheng Ming quietly stepped forward and saw that the stall owner was an old man in his fifties and sixties, who looked like an honest old farmer in the countryside, smiling and explaining a piece of jade to a customer in front of him.
It's just that what makes Cheng Ming feel strange is that this old man's appearance looks a little familiar, and if he thinks about it carefully, this person is clearly the Master Ma who treated him in the first place, but this will make his complexion darker, and the wrinkles on his face look a lot more than before, plus the color of his hair and clothing, so it looks like two people.
In order to verify his judgment, Cheng Ming also used supernatural powers, but the result was only a little more than the original Master Ma's sin value, and this result is also normal, can the sin value not increase if he has been deceiving people?
Cheng Ming was very strange about this discovery, he didn't understand why this person suddenly changed his career to the antique business to deceive people, could something have happened?
After thinking about it, Cheng Ming put this doubt aside first, now he is going to solve Tian Dazhuang's matter first, as well as the fragment of the earth treasure, and other things will be talked about later, besides, what is going on with this "Master Ma", it has nothing to do with him, why do you care so much.
Next, Cheng Ming took advantage of the cover of the onlookers to take a look at the things on the stall. I saw the items placed on the stalls, most of which were jade, what ornaments, tricks, jade pendants and the like, and the rest of the things, mainly porcelain, and a wooden box made of unknown wood.
At this time, the system spoke: "That wooden box should be made of lock spirit wood, and if nothing else, the fragments of the earth treasure are inside." ”
As the name suggests, the Lock Spirit Wood is a kind of wood that can isolate the aura, and the containers made from it can be used to store various elixirs and spiritual objects without letting the aura dissipate, which is quite popular in the cultivation world.
After determining what he was looking for, Cheng Ming looked at the other things, ready to see if there would be some dusty treasures in it, so that he could find a way to exchange it with the jade cicada that Tian Dazhuang bought, but after looking around, he found that in addition to the fakes with poor workmanship, there were not even some things with slightly better jade quality.
This made him a little disappointed, it seemed that he could only change a piece of jade casually, and it was a good thing to lie to Tian Dazhuang, and he bought it with his own money. After all, 1,200 yuan is not a small amount of money for Tian Dazhuang, maybe it is the tuition fee he saved, as a close friend, of course he can help, I hope Tian Dazhuang can learn the lesson this time.
Just as Cheng Ming was about to turn around and leave, he flashed and unexpectedly found that the jade in the hands of a buyer was actually a real old jade.
This is a jade pendant, Cheng Ming judged that it should be Xiuyan jade jasper, the lower end of which has a brown Qin, the middle of the upper end is punched, into a trumpet, the body is polished inward, into a shallow groove, and the lines are as smooth and natural as flowing clouds.
Gouyun-shaped pendant is a representative artifact of Hongshan culture, and this object should have such a origin. I have to say that this buyer was lucky to find a treasure among a pile of fakes.
Cheng Ming sighed, and was about to turn around and leave, after all, he had missed countless during this time, and this jade worth 20,000 yuan was really nothing, but the conversation between the buyer and his friend made him pause.
"I said Lao Zhang, this thing is made by Xiuyu, and it looks gray, the workmanship is not very good, and there is a crack on the head, are you sure you want to buy it?"
The buyer smiled and said, "I think I like it, ask the price first, and then buy it if it's suitable." ”
After speaking, he asked "Master Ma" about the price, and after some bargaining, both parties were not satisfied with the price, and finally the jade pendant was returned, and no one cared.
As a result, Cheng Ming didn't know what to say, it seemed that God didn't want Tian Dazhuang to lose money, so he hurriedly ran back and told Tian Dazhuang what he thought of.
Tian Dazhuang looked grateful: "Brother Ming, thank you, but after the thing is sold in a while, I only need one thousand two, and the rest is yours." If you don't say yes, I'd rather not. ”
Speaking of which, Tian Dazhuang originally intended to do things by himself, but just like Cheng Ming guessed, the money was indeed what he was going to pay for in the future, and for the sake of his studies, he could only accept it temporarily, and was ready to return it to Cheng Ming when he had money in the future.
As a friend, Cheng Ming of course knew that Tian Dazhuang was very strong in his bones, so he didn't say much: "Okay, let's change things first, and we'll talk about this later." ”
After speaking, he took Tian Dazhuang with him, walked to the front of the stall, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, I don't know if I can trouble you with something." ”
"Master Ma" looked up and saw that it was Cheng Ming, a slight discoloration flashed in his eyes, and then looked at Tian Dazhuang, who looked a little cramped next to him, and asked with a smile: "Little brother, I don't know what you have to do, if you want to return it, then it's not okay." ”
Cheng Ming and Tian Dazhuang, who looked a little disappointed, glanced at each other, and asked: "Uncle, can't you really return it?" This thing was originally a gift from my friend to the elders, but he was only thinking about his hobby just now, and he didn't take into account the origin of this jade cicada.
"Master Ma" said with an embarrassed face: "Little brother, the rules are like this, I can't help it, I don't believe you ask others, is this the case." ”
Next, Cheng Ming and Tian Dazhuang begged a few words without giving up, but he just didn't let go.
Seeing that it was no longer abrupt, Cheng Ming said his purpose: "Uncle, since you can't change it, you can't change it, can we change it?"
"Master Ma" still looked very embarrassed: "If you want to say that when there were many people before, it was nothing to change it, but now that everyone is gone, you have exchanged things for me, who am I selling them to? It is not easy to see you, otherwise, you can buy a thing of 500 yuan from me, and I will change it for you." Don't worry, I'll give you something cheaper. ”
Seeing him say this, the surrounding onlookers all scolded him for being shameless in their hearts, and Cheng Ming also scolded in his heart, but he was going to buy the box, and after pretending to hesitate for a moment, he agreed.
