Chapter 263 True and false tooth carving (2)
Chapter 263: Real and False Tooth Sculpture (2)
The weather in January was the coldest time in the entire winter. The air conditioner in the room was not working well enough. Fang Fang felt a little cold, so he rubbed his cold hands and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
, took out one and handed it to the old man in front of him. The man shook his head,
"Oh, sorry, I don't smoke!"
"I, what a pity!"
Equation shrugged,
"...This ivory carving, judging from the ivory carving itself, is indeed thickly patinated, with obvious bird silk, and the skin color is a rich and natural ginger yellow with light brown spots. These are all old objects from a long time ago.
The conditions that a nursery should have! And the carving style is completely in line with the characteristics of ivory carvings in the Qing Dynasty. The decorations are bright and the lines are concise. In addition, the knife technique has a strong three-dimensional effect due to the use of both dark and light knives. This was the characteristic of the late Ming Dynasty.
The ivory carving technique was only developed after the early Qing Dynasty! It seems... this is indeed a rare and exquisite ivory carving work from the Qing Dynasty!"
"What this young man said makes so much sense! I would say that my tooth statue is definitely a rare treasure. If I were not in a hurry to spend money, I would definitely pass it on.
You won’t sell anything you say!”
The old seller hurriedly continued what Fang Fang said, his words full of reluctance.
Then I will accept the four million yuan for this ivory sculpture!"
Shopkeeper Chen saw that everyone thought this thing was a top-notch item, so he hurriedly said that he was also afraid that the good stuff would be taken away by others. It is really difficult to do antique business these days.
"Four and a half million, it really can't be any less..."
The seller hurriedly shook his head, and then stepped forward to take away the ivory sculpture. Fang Fang came out halfway and pressed a big hand on the ivory sculpture.
"This ivory sculpture...I bought it!"
"Hey, Boss Fang, you can't do this. We haven't finished negotiating the price yet, and I didn't say I didn't want it. This...is against the rules!"
Shopkeeper Chen saw that the equation was about to be cut off halfway, so he immediately came over unhappily and said,
"Why is it against the rules? Shopkeeper Xiao is the shopkeeper of our store. He must have been looking at this tooth sculpture here for a long time. Since you two looked at it together, who should own this object...
.It’s really hard to say, Shopkeeper Xiao, don’t you think so?”
Fang Fang said and looked at Shopkeeper Xiao who was standing aside. Shopkeeper Xiao was naturally startled when he heard this. He looked at Fang Fang with some confusion. His boss knew very well that he was not such an unreasonable person at ordinary times. What exactly was being sold in this gourd?
Where's the medicine? I didn't understand what Fang Fang was thinking, but shopkeeper Xiao believed that he was definitely not someone who stole other people's business for no reason, so he nodded with a low eyebrow,
"You're right!"
"Old Xiao...you..."
Shopkeeper Chen was so angry that he sat down on the chair and couldn't recover for a long time.
"this......"
The seller was also confused by the equation. The young man wanted to take the thing by himself. He hesitated slightly.
"I don't haggle when buying or selling. How much is the price? How about paying the price and delivering the goods?"
As he spoke, Fang Fang took out the check book he carried with him and waved it in front of the seller. The young man beside him suddenly smiled brightly when he saw the check book in Fang Fang's hand.
"Uncle Ma, money..."
"Shut up!"
When the old seller named Uncle Ma scolded him, the young man immediately shut up.
"This...Okay! Then I'll sell it to you, little brother! Shopkeeper Chen, I'm sorry, I'm really in need of money, I'm sorry!"
He looked at shopkeeper Chen with an apologetic look, but shopkeeper Chen turned away from him with a cold face. Fang Fang wrote a pen on the checkbook nonchalantly, then tore it off and handed it to the seller, who had a full face.
He took the check with a smile,
"Okay, okay, this little brother is really happy..."
Fang Fang ignored him and just picked up the ivory sculpture and was about to walk out. Suddenly, he heard the seller named Uncle Ma behind him shout loudly,
"Xiao Fei, stop him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young seller named Xiao Fei jumped up, and in the blink of an eye he stood in front of the equation with his arms folded across his chest. At that speed... he was definitely an expert!
Fang Fang looked at Xiao Fei in front of him and smiled slightly,
"Uncle Ma, what does this mean?"
"What do you mean? I also want to ask you what you mean? Fifty thousand yuan? You just gave me a check for fifty thousand yuan? Do you think I am mentally retarded and can't read?"
Uncle Ma roared fiercely, Fang Fang looked at him with interest, turned around and handed the tooth carving in his hand to Shopkeeper Xiao behind him,
"Uncle Ma, what you said is the opposite! It's not that I thought you were mentally retarded, but... you took me for a fool! An old antique tooth carving... just wanted to deceive me.
One and a half million? If you don’t treat me as a fool, then what do you think I am?”
After hearing what Fang Fang said, Uncle Ma was slightly startled at first, and then returned to his fierce look.
"You think my stuff is fake, so you don't have to buy it. So what's going on? I'll give you 50,000 yuan back. This tooth carving... I won't sell it!"
Uncle Ma threw the check in front of Fang Fang and was about to take away the tooth carving from Shopkeeper Xiao's hand as he spoke.
"Wait!"
Fang Fang stopped Uncle Ma's outstretched hand,
"I've taken a fancy to this tooth carving. I'll buy it from you for fifty thousand yuan!"
"Fifty thousand? Are you kidding me? I can sell something worth millions every minute in other places. Why should I sell it to you for fifty thousand?"
Uncle Ma seemed to have heard a big joke and said to the equation with a sneer,
"Yeah?"
Equation smiled indifferently,
"Believe it or not, if you don't sell this tooth carving to me today, you won't even be able to get out of this door!"
"You threaten me? Xiaofei..."
It seems that this Xiao Fei is Uncle Ma's thug. He seems to be quite capable.
"I never do anything easily, I just need a phone call! This ivory sculpture... although it is an antique and distressed object, it is really an ivory product, ivory? How can you still do it these days?
Dare you make ivory products? You really dare to commit a crime against the odds!"
Fang Fang's words startled Uncle Ma across from him, and he began to look a little panicked.
"I don't believe that there are only two people in your gang. They source goods, engrave, and take action... Wow, it should be a huge group. How do you think the police will deal with you and make you speak..."
"You...Xiao Fei!"
Uncle Ma was obviously irritated. With his roar, Xiao Fei jumped up, and Nuo Da's fist came straight towards Fang Fang's face with a sharp wind. Fang Fang turned slightly sideways and easily dodged.
After receiving this brutal punch, he walked slowly towards the door.
"When we come out to fight, don't damage the items in Shopkeeper Chen's shop! They are all antiques. Don't make any money by then and have to pay out! That would be even worse than the loss..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Xiaofei said and took a few steps to chase after Fangfang. His hand grabbed Fangfang's shoulder fiercely. All he heard was a "bang..." and Xiaofei was hit by Fangfang's body.
The spiritual energy was blown away far away. After landing, Xiao Fei looked at Equation in front of him in shock, but Fang Fang also looked at him in surprise! The moment his body came into contact with Xiao Fei's hand, Equation
Xiao Fei clearly felt the abnormal spiritual energy in his body. The so-called spiritual energy in the human body is actually a person's vitality, but this Xiao Fei's vitality is more than that of ordinary people.
But before Fang Fang could think about it carefully, Xiao Fei once again rushed forward without giving up. He quickly changed his position, and the regular pace of his feet made him arrive in front of Fang Fang in an instant. Fang Fang was secretly shocked and hurriedly
Rushing to the ground with spiritual energy, he quickly retreated,
"Snapped......"
