Big Golden Tooth’s Insights

"Master Jin, if we can't listen to the cries of crickets, we won't plant crops, right?"

Hearing what Xiao Ran said, Da Jinya grinned and said, "Actually, I can still really vent my anger on these grandsons? The main thing is not to give them a look, because in the future, these guys will come to bother me more often."

Xiao Ran nodded: "Well, there's no need to get angry with this guy."

Da Jinya said happily: "Actually, brother, I am in a very good mood today. Yesterday I just sold a Qing Dynasty barrel, which is also a wooden refrigerator, and a Yongzheng official kiln Jihong small teapot to a foreign old man.

It’s a big deal. That’s really three days of no business and three years of business. Besides, those two items are fakes. Even Mr. Hu, the fat man, said that I was bringing honor to the country!”

As Big Jinya spoke, he turned his head to Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan. They nodded quickly, looking very sincere.

Xiao Ran asked: "Master Jin, don't just think about making a fortune for yourself. Have you ever seen the things belonging to the two eldest brothers? Find a buyer quickly."

Da Jinya said: "Don't tell me, you guys have really become brothers after you go out for a while. The two of you also said that we have to wait until Brother Xiao is here to appreciate it together. We can't leave you to talk alone.

.Take a look, it’s so interesting!”

Xiao Ran saw Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looking at him with smiles, and his heart warmed up, and he said, "Master Jin, you are better than me at this. I still have some things that I found this time, so why don't you go there?"

Let’s estimate the price of my Baorong Zhai together!”

The few people didn't say much, and after a while, they gathered in the reception room of Baorongzhai.

Before Xiao Ran showed the porcelain, the fat man couldn't wait to take out his two precious jade pieces and let Da Jinya taste them first. After all, he had always felt that these two jade pieces were much more valuable than those bottles and jars.

Da Jinya took the two jade bis, and Hu Bayi took advantage of the situation to talk about the things related to the jade bis. He maintained the habit of reporting on work when he was a soldier, concise and orderly, and did not mention the Huangpizi Tomb and the post at all.

Things related to Gangyingzi.

When he arrived at Yerengou, he wondered how to determine the location of the ancient tomb and roughly when to start digging. Outside the tomb, he found the Tianbao dragon fire glazed roof and the shape of the tomb bricks, as well as the structure of the tomb chamber, the layout of the tomb, the style of the coffin, the materials and decorations, and the owner of the tomb.

Clothing, appearance and other burial objects, etc.

Fatty, on the other hand, wanted to interrupt whenever Hu Bayi talked about some key points, but was stopped by Hu Bayi every time. Fatty was still very dissatisfied: "Why don't you tell Mr. Jin about it?"

?How exciting that part was..."

Big Gold Teeth was more professional. He held the two jade stones and not only touched and looked at them, but also didn't mind them being dirty at all. First he brought them to his nose and smelled them, and finally he stuck out his tongue and licked them.

Xiao Ran felt a sense of disapproval in his heart. He said in his heart that he really couldn't do this kind of appraisal business...

The knowledge inside the Golden Tooth Tomb is really not limited. How many feet is the depth of the tomb, how many feet is the ceiling high, how many auxiliary rooms are there, how many people and horses are buried with him, whether the horse gear is leather or copper, whether the weapons are inlaid with gold, and how many clothes the tomb owner wears.

They asked about the height of the shoe, and even whether the soil on the ground inside the tomb was caked.

But they were in the dark and surrounded by dangers. Even if they really understood these things, who would have had time to pay attention? So the three of them were asked repeatedly by Da Jinya and were confused.

"Master Jin, I know if gold can be bitten with your teeth, why can't you taste this jade with your mouth? Fortunately, I broke it out of my hand. If it were somewhere else..."

When the fat man said this, his face looked as if he had licked the piece of jade and found it from "somewhere else" as he said.

Da Jinya grinned and said: "I only know a little bit about it, and I know a few things that are just on the lips. But these are all family skills, and I will show them to you today.

“Actually, appraising antiques is the same as visiting a tomb with a bucket, it all requires looking, smelling, asking, and inquiring, just like traditional Chinese medicine.

"The so-called hope refers to the appearance, shape, color and craftsmanship of famous objects. Those who can be used as funerary objects must be very different from the ordinary people at that time. This is a preliminary step. Wen Biwang went a step further and appraised antiques

It's very important, because one of the mainstream methods for making fake antiques old is to soak the fakes in excrement pits. This kind of old-fashioned smell is different from the smell that has been soaked in tombs for hundreds of thousands of years. Experts will be surprised when they smell it.

You can tell by the smell that the fake stuff smells like a dead man's butt.

"As for asking, to put it bluntly, it's just prying. As for the questions I just asked, if the other party is a liar, they will definitely show their cowardice. So this trick can also judge the value of the exposed weapon from the side.

"The last of these, just touching, has to be accumulated through experience. I'm not bragging, I've got over eight thousand antiques in my hands, and my heart and hand have become one. Now if it's a real treasure, I'll weigh and touch the whole set,

The heaviness of antiques accumulated over thousands of years can be felt immediately. No matter how fakes are made, the spirituality inherent in real antiques cannot be revealed..."

Bai Jiukuo secretly interjected: "This is to pay attention to thoughts, and the accumulation of thoughts becomes spiritual!"

Seeing Big Jin Ya proudly showing off his knowledge, the fat man became anxious: "Master Jin, what you are saying sounds like a book from heaven to me. Please tell me how much these two jade pieces of mine are worth!"

When he said this, Hu Bayi quickly sat up straight.

Da Jinya looked at Xiao Ran and said, "Master Xiao, would you like to palm your eyes first?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I told the fat man before that these two pieces are not jade, but dry yellow discolored jade from the Caucasus. But I am also half-hearted, so you can tell me."

Da Jinya said: "Look, you two, even if you are a little knowledgeable like Mr. Xiao, when you go to the tomb in the future, you will be able to distinguish one or two of the piles of antiques, so as not to miss them, right?"

"Speaking of these two pieces, this is the first time I have seen them. According to the rules of our industry, from the appearance and craftsmanship, we can call them moth body and chi pattern double jade. But the value is, as Mr. Xiao said,

Strictly speaking, this is not jade, so I give a rough estimate of 50,000 in China, and it will definitely be higher in foreign countries, but the final price still depends on the buyer. There is no fixed price for antiques, they can be set at market prices. As long as the buyer recognizes it, it can be bought regardless of the price.

.”

Fifty thousand, or more. Judging from his expression, Hu Bayi was very satisfied with the price, but the fat man was still a little unwilling. He raised his hand and said: "Fifty thousand... According to what you say, if I take that Jinguo Zongzi

If you bundle it up, if someone buys it, you can sell it at a higher price, right?"

Da Jinya said sternly: "I'm not telling you, if you really want to make it and sell it abroad, the base price will start at one hundred thousand, Meiko! I used to have a colleague who was very familiar with it, and he originally sold some small things like tiles, seals, and arrow clusters.

Stuff. Later, I went to XJ to dump mummies, and I made a lot of money!"

Hu Bayi's eyes widened: "Really? What's so rare about those rice dumplings?"

Xiao Ran interjected: "Brother Hu, foreigners like the mysterious things from ancient civilizations. In the early years, when the Egyptian mummies were first dug out, the old gangsters in Europe ground them up and used them as medicine. Although they don't stuff them into their mouths now.

, but once I heard that the Oriental mummies from the mysterious ancient country were going to be exhibited, all the tickets to foreign museums would be sold out."

The fat man slapped his head: "Oh! The second time I went to the grave with the villagers, we saw that the corpse was torn to pieces by the giant otter, so we set it on fire. If I had known, we could carry it back with a piece of it!"

"How do you carry it back and buy a ticket for it to take the train?" Hu Bayi said with a smile.

The fat man nodded, his expression quite serious: "Well, let's just say he is the second uncle of my brother Lao Hu."
