Hongji Road is actually a street outside the Antique City. This street is not the main street, but a street in the village. However, because the main entrance of the Antique City is on this street, this street is also very famous in Zhongdu City.
.
Since it was a Saturday, this street was already crowded with people. There were street stalls on both sides of the road, rare ancient books, carved stone paintings, flowers, insects, birds and animals. With the addition of food sellers, it looked like a vegetable market.
land.
There were too many stalls, and most of them were similar. In addition, the pictures in the dream were a bit blurry and even intermittent. Chen Ran was not sure which stall it was. He knew that he could only find it based on his feeling, but it was obviously left to
I don't have much time, I have to buy the things before that person does.
The first place Chen Ran came to was the entrance of a hot pot restaurant, about a hundred meters away from the gate of the antique city. He stood at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant and recalled the scene in his dream. The familiar sign he saw at that time was the sign of the hot pot restaurant.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Ran's nervous and excited mood slowly calmed down. Then he followed the feeling and walked towards the south of Hongji Road. While recalling the scene in his dream, he examined the surrounding environment.
.
"Excellent Tieguanyin..." A shout came, and Chen Ran's heart suddenly moved. He remembered that there was a stall selling tea like this in his dream, and he kept shouting, and the man in the dream also came up.
I pinched a handful and looked at it.
Chen Ran looked back, but did not find the man in the dream. Instead, he found that although there were three tea stalls, only one sold Tieguanyin.
The tea stall owner is a young man wearing a black hat, who is also the familiar figure in Chen Ran's dream.
"Little brother, do you want to take some back?" The young man saw Chen Ran parked in front of the stall and greeted him enthusiastically. Although Chen Ran had messy hair and ordinary clothes, in a market like antiques, even a poor beggar
It cannot be underestimated either.
Chen Ran was pressed for time, so he shook his head and walked forward.
Next, Chen Ran discovered three or four more familiar stalls, but to his disappointment, he never found the familiar person in his dream.
Just when Chen Ran was about to go back and look for him again, suddenly, his eyes seemed to be frozen, staring closely at a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. This boy was holding a white plastic bag in his hand and was heading towards
He comes.
After being in a daze for a few seconds, Chen Ran came back to his senses, gathered his thoughts and walked towards the boy.
The boy turned around and walked towards the street before he reached Chen Ran, and Chen Ran's eyes followed the direction he turned around. Suddenly, a familiar scene came into view...
This was a stall selling ceramics. The reason why Chen Ran hadn't noticed it before was because the stall was not on the street, but a little further in.
The stall is not big, and there are also small items on it. The stall owner is a middle-aged man wearing a coat, and the boy is his son, who brings him lunch.
While looking at this stall, Chen Ran also saw the familiar figure in his dream. This was an old man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a casual tunic suit. At this moment, he was squatting in front of this stall and looking attentively.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ran immediately walked to the stall and glanced towards the familiar corner. There was a solitary ceramic jar. It was said to be a ceramic jar, but in fact it was better to say it was a piggy bank.
When Chen Ran saw the ceramic jar, the old man in Mao suit also noticed the ceramic jar. He didn't think much about it. He just felt that it was too far away to see clearly, so he stretched out his hand to get it.
But he didn't expect that before he could get it, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed the ceramic jar.
It wasn't until he grabbed the ceramic jar in his hand that Chen Ran's heart, which he had been holding, completely relaxed. Unknowingly, he was broken out in a cold sweat, and he almost missed it.
"Little brother, do you like this?" Normally, Chen Ran's behavior was very unruly, but the old man in Mao suit was not angry. Instead, he looked at Chen Ran with interest. In fact, the main reason why he was not angry was that he could see it at a glance.
This ceramic jar is just a handicraft.
"I looked at this thing like a piggy bank and wanted to buy it for fun. You are also interested, why don't you take a look first?" Chen Ran said pretending to be a little embarrassed, but he said this without attracting attention.
The man shook the ceramic jar carefully, and a crisp sound came out, making him secretly say, sure enough!
The old man in Chinese tunic suit shook his head: "Haha, you can play with it."
"Boss, can you give me a price?" Chen Ran looked at the stall owner who was eating.
The stall owner had already noticed the scene just now, but Chen Ran spoke in a professional manner, which made him hesitate for a moment before he smiled and said: "One price, five hundred and eighty yuan!"
As soon as the price came out, both Chen Ran and the old man in Mao suit frowned, and Chen Ran's heart suddenly tightened. He remembered to buy this thing, but he forgot that he only had more than fifty yuan left in his pocket.
Although the old man in the dream only paid ten yuan, the price of this thing is hard to say.
"Not very reliable!" Chen Ran frowned and put down the ceramic jar.
The stall owner glanced at the old man and said calmly: "The lowest price is five hundred yuan."
The old man in Mao suit frowned again, and then he understood the stall owner's plan. He snorted, stood up, turned around and left.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ran felt somewhat guilty, but he needed this money more than the old man, and this money was also of great significance to him. Therefore, he could only silently say to the old man:
I apologize and I hope I can make it up to the other party if I have the opportunity in the future.
As soon as the old man left, Chen Ran became more confident. He put down the ceramic jar and turned around to leave. However, he didn't take more than two steps when he was stopped by the stall owner again: "Hey, little brother, don't leave. The price is easy to negotiate. Please give me a suitable price."
How about I just give it to you?"
After some bargaining, Chen Ran still paid 25 yuan to get the ceramic jar, which was more than twice as much as the old man, but there was nothing he could do about it. This was the case in the antique industry, and the price was generally not specified.
.
…
Without even eating lunch, Chen Ran hurried back to his residence as quickly as possible. After returning to his residence, Chen Ran threw the ceramic jar on the bed and never looked at it again. He knew that what he needed most at the moment was not
Open the ceramic jar and calm down instead!
The moment Chen Ran picked up the carving knife, he forgot about the ceramic jar, forgot about Uncle Liang, forgot about time, forgot about everything... His expression was so focused, with a hint of masochistic focus, he didn't want to
Even if he doesn't let himself relax, he actually knows that he is afraid that the ceramic jar is not what he imagined...
"Bang bang..."
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Chen Ran was suddenly awakened.
After being in a daze for a minute, Chen Ran regained his composure and opened the door. The landlord was standing outside the door.
"Aunt Luo, I forgot that today is the time to pay the rent. It's getting dark now. Can I withdraw the money for you tomorrow?" After Chen Ran was startled, he quickly said to the landlord.
Only a ghost can believe your words.
The landlord curled his lips, took a look into Chen Ran's house, and said in a calm tone: "Forget the rent, we can no longer live here. Didn't you read the notice posted downstairs? It's going to be demolished and rebuilt. Two
Move them all within days. If you can’t move them, you will bear the consequences!”
Chen Ran looked at the landlord with slight surprise, not expecting that he would encounter such a thing.
After the landlord left, Chen Ran closed the door and couldn't help but feel a little heavier. This was adding insult to injury. It would be hard to find such a cheap old house again.
Looking at the beautiful ceramic jar in his hand, Chen Ran adjusted his mind and tried his best to calm down. After being silent for two or three minutes, he clasped the ceramic jar with both hands and turned it over so that the bottom was facing up.
This ceramic jar is actually a ceramic piggy bank. There is a mouth on the bottom, but it seems to be sealed by glue.
He shook it with his hand and heard a whirring sound. The reason why he bought this ceramic jar was not that the ceramic jar was valuable, but that something stored in the ceramic jar was valuable.
Chen Ran took a small knife from the work table and scraped off the glue that sealed the mouth. With a popping sound, the plug flew away with Chen Ran's knife, and a small round hole appeared in front of his eyes.
Although Chen Ran looked calm on the surface, he could feel his heart beating "bang bang", as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He covered his mouth with his hands and put the ceramic jar in a slightly eager manner.
Turned upside down.
With a hula, a beautiful bright red flashed, and something cool fell into Chen Ran's hand.
Chen Ran's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he had already known this result from his dream, when he saw this thing, he felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and all the ups and downs came to his heart.
After carefully placing this thing on the bed, Chen Ran walked to the bathroom and washed his face with cold tap water before feeling relieved.
This thing was not unfamiliar to Chen Ran. It was also a jade pendant, but it was obviously of a high grade. Although he had seen many pictures on the Internet, he had never seen it with his own eyes.
The jade is carved from natural Hetian seed jade. The jade seed is moist and bright, as moist as oil, with a gorgeous red skin, exquisite and gorgeous, and a gold skin on the back, which makes people love it.
Jade is generally divided into nephrite and jade, and jade is jade. Depending on the color, soft jade can be divided into white jade, topaz, sapphire, jasper, and black jade. Among them, Hotan jade is the most famous. The raw stone material Chen Ran often uses is Nanyang jade.
.
Nanyang jade is produced in Dushan, Nanyang City, Central Plains Province, and is known as one of the four famous jade in China. However, compared to the prices of Hotan jade and jade, the price of Nanyang jade is still low.
Currently on the market, a good jade bracelet or Hotan jade bracelet is priced at hundreds of thousands, or even millions or tens of millions, but a single jade bracelet of similar quality only costs tens of thousands of yuan, a difference of dozens of times or even
Hundreds of times.
Among nephrites, Hetian jade is the most famous, and correspondingly, the most expensive.
And this old longevity star pendant is carved from Hetian jade!
