Gao Shaoyu nodded secretly at the side, and then Little Million was let out. The expressions of the owners of these antique shops did not change. They were really wealthy. This time, I really saw how generous they were in spending money while talking and laughing.
Finally, Zheng Taihua's collection was also taken out. It was a large ornament and two carved jadeite. They both had quite a few flaws, but it was probably for this reason that they were kept by the previous wave of people.
Together they gave me two hundred thousand.
On the contrary, the young man named Li Jian got a good treasure. It was a square pendant, but the material of the pendant was extremely extraordinary. It looked like stone but not stone, and it was not as simple as jade. It looked like a very strange thing.
After taking it out and confirming it for a while, everyone realized that the material of this pendant was actually called red sandalwood. It is still available in the markets of the southern provinces. Although it is rare, it is not rare to see. This red sandalwood is wonderful in seconds.
The pendant made of dark wood has exquisite texture and is full of great beauty, giving people the feeling as if they have seen it somewhere before.
"Mr. Bai, please help me take a look." Li Jian said respectfully.
"Hey, it's really extraordinary." Bai Lao was slightly startled, "Although there are very few ebony trees, it's not impossible to see them, but there are very few that look like this."
"Ebony?" Zixia was slightly startled.
"Red sandalwood is a kind of dark wood. There are also hemp trees, green hills, camphor trees, nanmu (golden nanmu, small-leaf nanmu), red cedar wood, etc., but red sandalwood and golden nanmu are the most precious. Every square meter
Nearly hundreds of thousands, which is much more expensive than the real estate market, so it is also said that half a square of ebony at home is better than a box of treasures. This is the truth." Gao Shaoyu started to say after Bai Lao signaled.
"What Xiao Gao said is good, but do you know the origin of the red sandalwood? Antiques are about tracing back to the source, and don't be specious, otherwise it will be easy to be deceived by counterfeiters. I have seen too many such things.
You young people should be careful." Bai Lao said solemnly.
Zheng Taihua, Boss Liu, Boss Sun, and Qiu Bazhi all nodded, with memories on their faces. They were deceived by many people when they first debuted. Thinking about it now, it’s really embarrassing to look back.
"If I remember correctly, gloomy wood is a charred wood. Because it is generally black, the area in southwest Sichuan is generally called ebony. Gloomy wood has both the elegance of wood and the charm of stone. There are "Oriental sacred trees" and "plant mummies"
"The name." Gao Shaoyu just pondered for a few seconds and then began to narrate.
"Due to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, mudslides, and other trees such as red toon and willow, they are all buried in low-lying places such as ancient river beds. Some of the trees buried in the mud are exposed to the effects of bacteria and other microorganisms under conditions of hypoxia and high pressure.
After thousands of years of carbonization process, ebony is formed, so it is also called "carbonized wood"."
"Yes, ebony rides on the aura of heaven and earth and gathers the essence of the sun and moon. It is the spirit of all trees and the lord of spiritual trees. Various mysterious legends have made it truly famous. Later, literati and poets of all dynasties used ebony as a tool to ward off evil spirits.
, handicrafts, Buddha statues, amulet pendants," Bai Lao nodded.
"The ancients have made a very similar introduction to the gloomy wood. It sank in the sand and waves, passed through the catastrophe of heaven and earth, and reappeared in the world, so it went back to the earth and remained intact for ten thousand years. Its color is dark green, and its pattern is like brocade. Place a piece on the ground.
, A hundred steps away, no fly can fly." Zheng Taihua continued.
"Real or false." Zixia couldn't help but exclaim, and then stuck out her pink and tender tongue.
"The authenticity is somewhat mysterious, but ebony has been praised a lot in the past, and there are also descriptions in modern times. The first wood is a good one. It sinks to the bottom of the Minjiang River and is crushed by mud and rocks. After years of vicissitudes, its quality remains unchanged. God created all kinds of things, and they were created with the help of God; he slept on the sand bed of Tuoshui River, bitten by insects and fish, endured external forces without wavering, kept in the snow for thousands of years without decay, and finally became an eternal artifact, the first type of oriental sacred tree Taste it." Boss Liu also opened his mouth.
"Some records do have a lot of personal emotions and are a bit exaggerated, but there is no doubt about the preciousness of dark wood." Bai Lao nodded. "The rise of antiques began with the royal family. Many things were classified as after experiencing the enthusiasm of the royal family in the past dynasties. The tributes were passed down later. The red sandalwood and golden nanmu are good examples. Of course, it is also related to their own scarcity of resources and obvious characteristics. Driven by various aspects, the antique industry is so prosperous. "
"Having said so much, I just understood the origin of this pattern." Bai Lao suddenly changed his voice and pointed to the pattern on the back of the three-legged golden toad next to Gao Shaoyu, "Everyone, take a look."
"Ah, this... is still the Ma family." Zheng Taihua said in surprise.
"It's really similar?" Boss Liu was also surprised.
"Mr. Bai, look at which era of the Ma family this is." Boss Sun was also surprised.
Li Jian was also extremely excited.
"The century-old one is similar to Xiao Gao's three-legged golden toad." Bai Lao looked at it carefully, touched the lines on it, and finally nodded, half regretfully, half solemnly.
"A hundred years is better than modern times." In the end, everyone could only accept this result and began to congratulate Li Jian.
"The price of the red sandalwood dark wood pendant is 500,000 yuan, and the other ornaments are 50,000 yuan." Bai Lao nodded.
"Okay." Li Jian happily wrote the check and gave it to Li Fei.
Now Xiaofei's hand when borrowing the check was a little trembling, but he just handed it over one check after another. When he thought that many treasures had been bought by the previous group of people for 500,000, he couldn't wait to do something about it.
"What about this toad and the copper coins?" Xiao Fei suddenly pointed at the last three-legged golden toad. He didn't know its name, but he thought it was a good thing, but he was sharp-eyed and didn't slip past it. There were four or five copper coins in it.
"Total 200,000, I will help this little friend out first." Mr. Bai glared at him, what a toad, he has no education, he has lived with Mr. Fei for so many years.
"Okay, 200,000 is 200,000." Xiao Fei couldn't see the pros and cons, but he felt that 200,000 was a lot. A toad could be worth 200,000, not to mention that he was afraid of Bai Lao from the bottom of his heart.
"Lao Bai, this money?" Gao Shaoyu said slightly surprised.
"Just think of it as a blessing for this bastard." Mr. Bai snorted coldly and wanted to write a check, but Zheng Taihua on the other side said: "How can Mr. Bai let you spend money? We, Bao Renxuan, sign this check. "
"I'm doing something for little friend Gao, and you should fight with me too. Don't worry, this three-legged golden toad is yours, I won't want it." Bai Lao glared at Zheng Taihua and said.
"Lao Bai, that's not what I meant." Zheng Taihua nodded with a wry smile.
"I don't care what you mean, just don't interfere in this matter." Mr. Bai snorted stubbornly without giving Zheng Taihua a chance to explain.
Everyone seemed to know Mr. Bai's temper, and everyone smiled helplessly.
"I still have Bai Lao's 200,000 yuan, and I will pay it back to you immediately in two days." When it came to this, Gao Shaoyu could only scratch his head and said with a bitter smile.
"Xiao Gao is quite rich, he has two hundred thousand now." Mr. Bai joked and handed a check to Xiao Fei.
"By the way, there are still these books. Take a look and see how much they cost?" Gao Shaoyu quickly put the books in his arms on the table and said hurriedly. He really wanted to take this book away.
of.
"These books are given to you." Xiao Fei raised his hands and said nonchalantly. He also saw that they were just notes and some quilts, which were not very valuable, but they were very generous.
