Chapter 43 Stone Sculptures of the Republic of China
"Someone deliberately made it look like jade. Nanyang Cui itself is very similar to jade. Ordinary people can't tell it after a little processing!"
Wu Xiaoli turned over the bamboo and jade carvings and said slowly. When she first saw this thing, she thought it was jade. When the stall owner told the irrelevant story, she immediately aroused her suspicion. After careful analysis, she discovered that it was jade.
It turned out to be a fake made by Nanyang Cui.
Nanyang Cui is also jadeite, which is about the same hardness as jade. In addition, the color is very similar to jade. Some unscrupulous merchants take advantage of these characteristics to make fake products and make huge profits.
Li Yang looked at the Nanyang Cui carefully and activated the special ability in his palm, instantly covering them all.
Li Yang's face suddenly turned red and he lowered his head, causing Wu Xiaoli to look at him strangely.
When the special ability is activated, everything around Li Yang is transparent, including Wu Xiaoli next to him. Wu Xiaoli's underwear and everything in her underwear are all in Li Yang's mind. Of course, what Li Yang sees
It's all a three-dimensional view.
But even so, Li Yang could clearly see those things that made people nosebleed, and he didn't even have the mood to analyze Nanyang Cui. As for the other things, Li Yang simply ignored them.
In fact, Li Yang had seen such a scene once when he was in Qingdao. It was the first time that special abilities were displayed on a large scale. However, both Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli were in danger at that time, and Li was not in the mood to see everything.
.
But it was different now. Wu Xiaoli was right next to him, and Li Yang could even smell Wu Xiaoli's faint fragrance. In this situation, a man would probably have other ideas. Li Yang was naturally no exception.
"Look at something, look at something!"
Li Yang forced himself to ignore Wu Xiaoli and focus on the Nanyang Cui ornaments. As soon as his attention turned around, Li Yang immediately discovered something was wrong. The ornament in front of him was indeed not made of jade. Apart from the appearance, it was completely different inside.
.
"what is that?"
Li Yang was stunned for a moment. The stall owner in front of him had many carvings, including jade carvings, stone carvings and wood carvings. What Li Yang found was a large painted stone carving of Maitreya Buddha, with a piece of blood red in the belly of the stone carving.
"300!"
Wu Xiaoli didn't know what Li Yang was thinking, so she took one look at him and ignored him. After thinking for a while, she gave the stall owner a price.
"Sister-in-law, even if it is Nanyang Cui, it is very green. Three hundred is too low. What do you think of one thousand?"
The stall owner immediately made an application as if he was cutting flesh, but he rolled his eyes and glanced at Wu Xiaoli secretly.
"One thousand, you have the nerve to sell this second-grade Nanyang Cui for one thousand. This way, you can get up to four hundred yuan, and you won't sell it if you don't sell it!"
Wu Xiaoli stood up as she spoke. The carving skills of Nanyang Cui are quite good. After all, they intend to fool people into selling them as jade, but I am afraid no one will believe that they can buy real good jade here, even if they can't tell.
People won't buy here either.
"No, no, sister, we can't negotiate a deal. Do you think this will work? Five hundred, this is my purchase price. It really can't go any lower. If you want it, I'll give it to you!"
The stall owner hurriedly stopped Wu Xiaoli. This piece of Nanyang jade ornaments had been in his place for almost a month. He originally wanted to frighten an inexperienced person into selling it for a big price, but now people are so crazy that they don’t believe that it is still in his place.
If he can pick up the leak, he can only dispose of it quickly if it has not been sold for such a long time. Otherwise, the longer it is left, the worse it will be for him. By then, people will think he sells fakes here and will not buy from him in the future.
Something.
"five hundred!"
Wu Xiaoli stopped, thought for a moment, then took out her wallet from her bag and handed the stall owner five red bills.
At least the carving of this Nanyang Cui ornament is good, and the price of 500 is not high. Besides, Wu Xiaoli knows very well that the Dushan Jade Mine has been suspended. Nanyang Cui will only rise but not fall in the future. It is definitely not worth buying it at 500.
It will be a loss. The only regret is that it looks too much like jade, which gives people a feeling of dishonesty.
After taking the things, Wu Xiaoli wanted to go out. This Nanyang Cui ornament was not something she was satisfied with, and she wanted to continue shopping for goods.
"Wait a minute, Xiaoli!" Li Yang hurriedly stopped her, pointed at the stone sculpture that he just saw had something in his belly and asked, "How much do you sell this for?"
"This is a stone Maitreya Buddha from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. If I want it, it only costs 10,000!"
The stall owner immediately smiled and said to Li Yang, this stone carving is indeed an old object, but it is far from as old as the stall owner said.
"Ten thousand? You rob it!"
Before Li Yang could say anything, Wu Xiaoli had already rushed over. In Wu Xiaoli's view, Li Yang was like a fool waiting to be slaughtered.
"Miss, don't break the rules!"
The stall owner's face changed faster than flipping through a book, and he immediately looked dissatisfied. The antique shop does have its own rules. You can't talk nonsense when others are looking at things, and you can't bid money. You can wait until others have finished reading.
Look before you can speak.
Although Li Yang didn't pick up the stone carving, he had already asked about the price, which was like the beginning of the business. That's why the stall owner said this about Wu Xiaoli.
"Rules? He is my boyfriend and I don't need you to tell me the rules!"
Wu Xiaoli immediately snorted, Li Yang looked at Wu Xiaoli blankly, and immediately lowered his head.
The stall owner rolled his eyes again, and his face suddenly turned into a bright smile: "So that's it. I'm sorry, your boyfriend has taken a liking to this thing. I won't tell lies. This is a stone sculpture from the Republic of China period."
, the minimum is one thousand yuan!”
The rules are correct, but they don't apply to anyone, not to a family. A family is equivalent to one person. If Li Yang is Wu Xiaoli's boyfriend, they are equivalent to a family, so Wu Xiaoli has the right to speak here.
"five hundred!"
Wu Xiaoli counter-offered directly. After she said it, she thought, this is what Li Yang wants, why should she help him counter-offer?
"Sister-in-law, please don't kill me so cruelly. I really didn't mean to lie. If you and your boyfriend really want it, I'll give you 800. This price can't be lower!"
The stall owner smiled wryly and spread his hands. His price was really reasonable. Wu Xiaoli hesitated and looked at Li Yang.
"Eight hundred is eight hundred, I want it!"
Li Yang immediately paid for it. He couldn't see things accurately, but he could read people. The expression on the stall owner's face made him feel that the lowest price had been reached. Eight hundred yuan was in line with the market value of this thing. In fact, Li Yang knew very well that even if
He wouldn't lose money buying this stone sculpture for ten thousand dollars.
After handing over the money and picking up the things, Li Yang walked behind Wu Xiaoli with the Maitreya Buddha stone sculpture in his arms, smiling silly. This stone sculpture is really not small, its body is more than thirty centimeters tall, and its belly is more than ten centimeters long.
It's quite heavy in the hand.
"This stone sculpture is from the Republic of China, but the carving is mediocre. I really don't know what you want it for."
Wu Xiaoli muttered something, ignored Li Yang and continued to move forward. Li Yang chuckled. He couldn't tell the secret now. Wu Xiaoli would definitely be shocked when she saw what was in Maitreya Buddha's belly.
