Chen Yong walked up curiously and squatted down in front of the stall.

However, Zhao Fulai and the other two walked into another store.

This stall is seven or eight square meters, with densely packed antiques on it, and all kinds of antiques are dazzling.

The stall owner is a fat middle-aged man in his fifty years old. He has big heads and ears, thick lips, and when he smiles, he looks like the living ancestor of Tathagata. He is playing with a pair of walnuts in his hand. The walnuts are constantly turning, making a slight crackling sound.

Chen Yong began to search carefully at this stall. After a while, he found a good thing. This thing was not on the stall, but in the hands of the fat middle-aged man.

He had a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, which were a string of eighteen-subject Buddhist beads of the emperor's purple and purple sandalwood. From a distance, he emitted a light purple light under the sun. The faint purple seemed to have a magic power, which made people like it from the bottom of their hearts.

Chen Yong asked slowly, "Boss, do you have Buddhist beads and bracelets here for sale?"

The fat boss pointed to a box and said, "There are all Buddhist beads and bracelets in it, you can choose it yourself!"

Chen Yong started rummaging through the box, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any valuable Buddhist beads and bracelets.

Chen Yong asked, "Boss, do you have better Buddhist beads and bracelets here? A few days will be my grandmother's 80th birthday. She usually likes to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name. I want to buy a better one. I wonder if you have one?"

The fat boss said: "There are some better ones, but the price is much higher."

"Boss, take it out and take a look! I'll buy it if the price is right."

The fat boss took out a wooden box from a leather bag next to him and handed it to Chen Yong, saying, "Young man, be careful. If it is damaged, you will have to compensate."

Chen Yong clicked a little, slowly opened the box, and dozens of beads were neatly placed inside the box.

These bracelet beads include agate, turquoise, jade, red sandalwood, golden nanmu, yellow rosewood, coral, agarwood, etc.

Chen Yong looked at it and found that these beads were all new. Although they were all made of good materials, they were all the most valuable ones. They were made of scraps. The water heads of jade were not good. They were all made of oil-green materials, which was OK to fool ordinary people.

Experts like Chen Yong can tell at a glance that this thing is good or bad. These are all used to deceive those who don’t understand the profession.

Chen Yong handed the box back to the boss.

The fat boss asked in confusion: "Young man, these are rare treasures. You don't like such good things? What kind of things are you looking for?"

Chen Yong smiled and said, "Boss, can you show me the string of beads you wear on your hand?"

The fat boss smiled and said, "Young man, it turns out that he is interested in my Buddhist beads. OK, you can take it and see it!"

After saying that, the fat boss took off his bracelet from his hand and handed it to Chen Yong.

Chen Yong carefully identified the string of Buddhist beads. This is a string of Emperor purple sandalwood Buddha beads. The surface of the beads is very smooth and oily. The beads emit a faint woody fragrance, which makes people feel very comfortable to smell.

Chen Yong concluded that this string of Buddhist beads should be at least a hundred years ago. More than a hundred years ago, who could wear such expensive things? At least they were all high-ranking officials and above, so they could afford to wear them.

Chen Yong calmed down and looked at each bead with the concentration of the hidden paintings in the paintings before. Not to mention that he really discovered that each bead was carved with the word "Shou" and used a bas-relief. The way of writing each word "Shou" is different.

These characters of longevity cannot be seen clearly, mainly because after years of playing with them, the marks of the carving have been covered by patina.

But the coral beads in the middle and at the tail are formed, Buddha heads, and pagodas. The Buddha heads are hollow, openworked cloud patterns, round sword techniques, thick lines, and three-dimensional.

The pagoda is a gourd-shaped gauze, with the character "Shou" engraved on the cloud pattern on the neck, the pendant is crystal clear, and the openwork dragon is carved on the ground, with a "S" shape, decorated with cloud patterns, which is full of dynamic feeling, and the character "Shou" is engraved in the middle.

Chen Yong once saw similar Eighteen-Son Buddhist bead bracelets at the Kyoto Museum. They were worn by Emperor Qianlong, but the materials were different. The string was made of Bodhi.

Chen Yong was very sure that this string of Eighteen-Son Buddhist beads was also a belonging to Emperor Qianlong.

Chen Yong deliberately flipped left and right, pretending to be inaccurate, and said, "Boss, you can't tell what material you made of. You are always old objects, but it's too old and has little value."

The fat boss yelled and said, "Young man, this is made of the best red sandalwood material. Look at how beautiful the texture is, it is said that it has not been worn by any emperor."

Chen Yong smiled and said, "If you take out what the emperor has worn, you can't sell it? You can't burn incense every day at home?"

The fat boss also smiled and said, "Young man, judging from what you said, I'm just making an analogy!"

Chen Yong smiled and said, "Boss, I heard you are so full of money. How do you sell these beads?"

The fat boss said, "I want to wear this string of Buddhist beads. Since you like it, I will give up my love and it costs 10,000 yuan in one price."

Chen Yong couldn't help but be stunned. Just now, he thought that the fat boss would speak loudly, and was still thinking about how to lower the price. Unexpectedly, this boss only costs 10,000 yuan. Isn't this a bargain price?

It seems that the fat boss has not discovered the origin of this string of Buddhist beads, but Chen Yong cannot give him 10,000 yuan if the boss says he is 10,000 yuan. Instead, it will attract the attention of the fat boss. If he reacts, it will be troublesome.

Chen Yong sighed and said, "Boss, do you think I can take out 10,000 yuan? Can you be cheaper? I only have 1,000 yuan on me. If you want, I will buy it. If you don't want it, forget it."

After saying that, Chen Yong handed the Buddhist beads back to the fat boss, stood up and turned around and left.

The fat boss shouted from behind, "Young man, I'll sell you if you add some more money."

Chen Yong walked almost ten meters away, and the fat boss shouted loudly: "Young man, I'll sell you 1,000 yuan."

Chen Yong was ecstatic inside, turned around, walked back to the stall slowly, took out 1,000 Hong Kong dollars from his backpack, and gave the money to the fat boss. The fat boss ordered the money, and after confirming that, he handed the eighteen Buddhist beads to Chen Yong.

After Chen Yong finished the transaction, he went to find Zhao Fulai and the other two. They were in a shop not far away in front of him. The shop sold all purple clay teapots.

This shop is not big, only about 30 square meters. The antique shelves on three sides of the shop are filled with all kinds of purple clay. Chen Yong was confused when he saw so many purple clay teapots.

Chen Yong glanced over the purple clay teapots in the entire store and found that these were real purple clay teapots, from the Ming Dynasty to the modern times.
