Chapter 97 Antiques and Coins with Ancient Style and Rhythm
Very eager to collect it!
As a traditional delicacy of the Chinese nation, Buddha Jumping Over the Wall has entertained many visiting heads of state. It was highly praised at state banquets. This dish has become even more famous around the world. Xiao Luoyan’s father is a master among the masters of making this dish. He runs a business
The signature dish of Yuxiangyuan Restaurant is Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. There are many things to pay attention to in making this dish. Not to mention the complexity of the materials and the temperature, only the temperature of the utensils and Huadiao wine are very particular. It can even be called a secret.
As for the utensils, as the stall owner said, a flower-carved jar from 1899 is the best, but it must be a newly opened wine jar that contains aged wine.
Xiao Luoyan was familiar with this allusion, so when the boss said this, she became a little wary, and later she almost believed it. Li Huqiu had already seen the flaw, and only stopped her when she was about to bid. He took it.
I passed the baton and started laughing with the boss. To put it simply, the price he gave was a slap in the face. The boss's face suddenly looked ugly and he said unconvinced: "What did I say wrong? Or is the price of 50,000 yuan too high?"
Li Huqiu said with a smile: "You're right, you sold it wrong. You used your own jar of pickled vegetables as an old shao jar and sold it. The Chinese cabbage was sold for the same price as pork. I think you should go to the State Economic and Trade Commission."
, You are undermining your talents by practicing stalls here." The boss looked angry and frowned: "You want to disrupt the situation?"
In antiques trading, bad buyers are called peacemakers, and bad sellers are called spoilers. When people around see someone disrupting the situation, they suddenly become interested and gather around, waiting for the show to begin.
Xiao Luoyan looked at Li Huqiu in surprise and said, you never told me that you still understand this. How can you tell that this thing is fake? I think it's good? Li Huqiu ignored the boss's question and said to Xiao
Luo Yan smiled and said: "There are specialties in the art. It's not surprising that you can't tell how fake this thing is. I'll tell you and you'll understand everything. First of all, the most obvious thing is that the taste of this Huadiao wine is wrong. The wine has been stored in Laotan for a long time, and the smell of alcohol has
The wine has entered the body of the jar, and even after the wine is drained after unsealing, the flavor of the jar remains unchanged for years. Its characteristics are that it is heavy but not floating, and the aroma is elegant but not mellow. As soon as the lid of this jar is opened, the smell of wine will hit your nose, but the jar has not yet soaked in the flavor.
, the boss has already got three of them. Secondly, it is this flaw. To be precise, it is a false door. It looks like a big door. Most people will look at it when looking at it. This is also the boss's fault.
The purpose is to show you this flaw, leaving you with an excuse to bargain, making you ignore the essence of the object. Boss, take it as a real Buddha face and don’t burn fake incense. You should keep this thing for your own enjoyment. Do you have the real thing?
Open our eyes, I see you are not a stall holder, but you own the shop behind you?"
The boss was accused of selling counterfeit goods in person, but his expression remained unchanged and his demeanor remained intact. As expected, he was a face gained through hard work in the antique shop. Li Huqiu disrupted the situation in front of him, but the boss remained as stable as Mount Tai. He gave Li Huqiu a fist in the air.
, said: "I didn't expect that this little brother is also a great connoisseur. This thing is a 'garbage' I collected from below (I specialize in walking around the streets, going to the countryside, and picking up antiques everywhere. This part of the garbage is
The mainstream of the antique market. But the real thing is mixed with half the real thing.) Don't blame it if it is fake. Buying and selling is not humane. You also said that if you want to see the real thing, please follow me into the store. I really have a big shop here.
"Object, the one who opened the door is old and ready to open the altar."
You are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but you are afraid of comparison. When you come out of the real old Shao altar in the store, its momentum is different from the fake ones outside. The luster flows, the charm is deep, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and it is elegant and fragrant. It is the typical Wu Nong style.
The utensil. Xiao Luoyan grabbed it, smelled the smell, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He turned around and kissed Li Huqiu, and said abruptly: "You brat, you are amazing. This is the thing that was thrown away by my father."
The size is exactly the same, but the picture is slightly different, and the taste is a little stronger. I didn't expect that I can actually find it!" Li Huqiu gently pulled her little hand and signaled her not to talk much. Xiao Luoyan hugged his arm obediently and said,
It's like the little bird's love depends entirely on you.
The boss asked: "How about it? Can you please give me a palm eye?" Li Huqiu clasped his fists and said: "I don't dare to do it. I think there is no need for a palm eye. It is clear at a glance what is good and bad about this thing, so just give it to me."
It's a real price." The boss smiled and stretched out a hand again. Li Huqiu nodded, "Well, it's fair. Crazy girl, hurry up and give me some money, five thousand yuan." Xiao Luoyan was stunned and secretly said
Thinking that the fake one just cost 50,000 yuan, but now the real one only costs 5,000 yuan? She hesitated to open her bag and counted all the cash, but there was still no 5,000 yuan. "You watch here, I will go to the bank to withdraw money."
Xiao Luoyan warned Li Huqiu. Li Huqiu smiled and said, "You don't have to go, I can earn this money with just a few words."
The two were talking to each other, and the boss heard it very clearly. Li Huqiu's last words made him angry, but the businessman was only angry in his heart and did not show it on his face. He asked with a smile: "Brother,
Your eyesight is indeed extraordinary, but it’s just for looking at things. I want to ask you, how did you make this money?"
Li Huqiu said with a smile: "The boss has a few big coins on the stall outside. How much do they cost?" This is a trick. He clearly tells you that there is a leak in the pile of copper coins. Copper coins are a major item of collection in antique shops.
Few people in the industry pay attention to this. When the boss heard that Li Huqiu asked about copper coins, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He picked out those copper coins one by one, made the square holes bigger with his own hands, and then immersed them in vinegar with copper sulfate added.
, and was finally buried deep in the ground. There was no real thing there. He nodded and said, "Well, five hundred and one. How many do you want?" Li Huqiu walked over and took out one from inside.
He smiled and said: "I want it!" As he spoke, he took the small bag from Xiao Luoyan's hand, took out five hundred yuan and handed it to the boss. Then he said: "I will price it now at fifteen thousand and sell it to you at the going rate.
, what do you think?"
The boss was stunned for a moment, then frowned and stared at Li Huqiu and said, "Bring it here and let me take a look." Li Huqiu handed him the copper coins and said, "It's up to you if you want. Once you get out of this door, I'll directly
If you sell it for 20,000 yuan, I guarantee that stores outside will rush to buy it, and then you will be completely blind, and you won't even have a chance to find replacement."
The boss took the ancient coin and looked at it carefully. After seeing it, he looked at it under a magnifying glass. He was speechless for a long time. Finally he raised his head and asked, "What age does the guest think this copper coin is?" Li Huqiu smiled, went over and picked up the coin.
He asked the guest a few copper coins and said, "Why bother asking? Yes, it's just a sentence. If you don't, it's a sentence." "Yes!" I just want the guest to say a few words to open his eyes. Xiao Luoyan
I was already very curious, so I also shouted: "Don't be too pretentious, tell me quickly, why did you earn more than 10,000 yuan for nothing?"
The value of ancient coins first depends on the historical value. Rare ancient coins are physical objects of monetary history, and they are also witnesses of history. For example, "Chengdu Jiaozi" and "Shiwen Zhongtong Yuanbao Jiaochao" are the earliest banknotes discovered so far in our country, and are regarded by academics as
The world regards it as a priceless treasure; secondly, it has to do with the material. The price of iron coins, copper coins, silver coins, jade coins, and gold coins goes up all the way. The value of coins made of precious metals is definitely high, but the price of selling scrap iron is still different. Cultural value, existing quantity
, appearance, are closely related to its price. All the bosses knew what Li Huqiu said, and the main target was naturally Xiao Luoyan. The latter nodded and asked: "Just tell me, why is that copper coin so valuable?
"
Li Huqiu took the 10,000 yuan and the old Shao Tan handed over by the boss, and said with a smile: "The boss actually knows the origin of this money best. You can understand it when I tell you. Have you heard of the Anshi Rebellion?"
Xiao Luoyan said angrily: "It's boring. Don't talk about it. If you go back and read the information, you can still know." Li Huqiu said with a smile: "You seemed to have said that you were an archeology major?" The two walked out as they talked, and behind them
It was the boss who was holding the copper coin, with a smile on his face, looking at Li Huqiu's back, thinking to himself: "What's the look in this boy's eyes? How come the four words "Shuntian Tongbao" seem to me to be Shunyuan Tongbao?
Woolen cloth?"
Outside the door, Li Huqiu held the old Shao altar in his hand, endured Xiao Luoyan's two-finger meditation, and said with a wry smile: "Shi Siming, this short-lived ghost emperor, has not become the emperor. He is in a hurry to turn the bronze Buddha into coins, and first issues one ingot."
, later they thought this was unlucky and changed it to Shuntian Tongbao. Because this short-lived regime only lasted for a short time, the circulation of these two copper coins was not large. The boss's pile of money just now was all from Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty.
In the Shunyuan Tongbao issued at that time, there was a single stroke difference between the Tian character and the Yuan character. Due to the passage of time and the corrosion of patina, the stroke became lighter and lighter. Therefore, after being mixed into a pile of Shunyuan Tongbao, it was difficult to recognize it for a long time.
It was out, and then I picked it up. If this copper coin is in good condition, it will be worth at least fifty thousand in the market! Even if it is in this condition and the asking price is twenty thousand, I still have to break my head to grab it."
Xiao Luoyan has a solid foundation in history, and it became clear after listening to his explanation. "You have such a powerful look in your eyes. This kind of money is really not something ordinary people can earn. You don't have to worry about your livelihood in the future, and you don't have to worry about being beaten for stealing."
Broken thief's bones, why didn't you sell them to him for a big price just now?"
Li Huqiu shook his head and said: "We are all eating this bowl of rice. We just ate it now and took it now. It was already too much. Leave room for everything so that we can meet each other in the future. Those who can survive in this industry for many years are all top people.
, Don’t you see that it says 18 years old on the door of the shop? That’s why he opened the shop as soon as Taizong came to power. It’s better not to offend such a person and die. Your husband-in-law, I still have to eat this bowl of rice.”
After the two completed the purchase task, Xiao Luoyan was as happy as a bird. She told Li Huqiu: "This thing has a lot to do with the person you want to meet. Mr. Dong is a great expert in eating." Li Huqiu thought of the past.
After the experience of hanging out with Dong Zhaofeng, he was convinced and nodded in agreement. Xiao Luoyan said: "He has never been a social person, but I personally invited him to taste the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall I made, but he will definitely come. You don't know
, the two of us have been friends for many years."
Li Huqiu asked with a smile: "Where are we going now?" Xiao Luoyan snapped his fingers coolly, "We still have to go shopping. That greedy old man is not easy to deal with. I will show you my skills later and let you have a taste. Today I will do it thoroughly.
Conquer your stomach!"
