"If I remember correctly, the Qiu Shui Inkstone should be one of the top ten famous inkstones in the south of the Yangtze River. If the other nine inkstones are collected and sold together, the price will increase ten times, or even dozens of times. Unfortunately, the legend says
The Oolong inkstone, inkstone, and Dahe inkstone are almost extinct, and there is no chance of finding them." Li Jian said. "If it is just Qiushui inkstone, I think the price should be between 300,000 and 600,000. I don't know if you are satisfied with the price.
?”
"Well, it's very pertinent. I spent 200,000 yuan to purchase this Qiu Shui Inkstone." Zheng Taihua smiled and nodded.
Gao Shaoyu secretly nodded. It is normal to double or even triple the price of antiques. When encountering a slightly ruthless merchant, it is reasonable to double the price. Zheng Taihua did not ask for the price himself because he and Qiu Bazhi both belong to the same street.
, I really want to see you all in the future.
"Let's make a compromise, five hundred thousand." Qiu Bazhi thought for a while and gave a price that everyone could accept. According to his idea, even one million would be the price, not to mention that it only cost five hundred thousand.
It's just a wish, it's worth it.
"Okay." Zheng Taihua smiled and nodded.
"Thank you." Qiu said solemnly with his fingers clasped in his fists.
"If you have a chance, please take out your Jiangnan Nine Inkstones and let us take a look." Zheng Taihua suddenly smiled and said.
"It's Jiangnan Shiyan now." Qiu Bazhi laughed, showing a hearty and free-flowing thought. He seemed to be more happy than going treasure hunting in the afternoon, and he looked much younger.
"Boss Qiu really has the other three lost ancient inkstones, and he has also gathered all the remaining inkstones." Li Jian was stunned at first, and then said with surprise on his face.
"Yes, in fact, the top ten inkstones have always been in my Qiu family. Unfortunately, when I was young and ignorant, I took away the Qiu Shui Inkstone to participate in the antique competition. In the end, it was lost by someone. From then on, the Qiu Shui Inkstone was missed. My old father will not forget it until he dies.
Qiu Shui Inkstone, I know my father has never said anything about it, but he is always thinking about Qiu Shui Inkstone in his heart." Qiu Bazhi said, with a strong sense of nostalgia and sadness in his eyes, as if seeing this Qiu Shui Inkstone, it was like seeing his own.
Just like father.
Gao Shaoyu was shocked in his heart. Even before he died, he would not forget the Qiushui Inkstone. How much obsession does this require? He is probably someone who loves antiques to his core.
However, I have never participated in that antique competition. If I have a chance to experience it, I may be able to find skills in anti-counterfeiting.
Everyone was silent for a moment, looking at the autumn water inkstone quietly.
"Little friend Li Jian, there is an antique here that is suitable for you, why not take a look at it too." After everyone calmed down, Zheng Taihua suddenly said with a smile.
"I really want to know what it is?" Li Jian looked at the other box and nodded curiously.
Gao Shaoyu smiled helplessly. He was really impressed by Zheng Taihua's methods of buying and selling antiques.
Zheng Taihua smiled and slowly opened the box. The moment he opened it, his eyes lit up. There was a rope as thick as a mobile phone cable coiled inside. It seemed very thin, but it felt like it was coiled inside.
Like a dragon, it is majestic and ferocious, swallowing stars and rivers, shining in all directions, and the sky wind is majestic, all exuding bundles of intense brilliance that look down on the world.
"Coiling dragon rope." Li Jian's face lit up with joy.
"It's really a dragon rope. Baorenxuan is indeed the number one antique store in Dongyang. It has everything. Hey, your family's income is probably worth 80% of our entire antique market." Qiu Ba pointed out.
said depressedly.
"It's all praise from people in the industry." Zheng Taihua said with a smile.
"Brother, what is the Coiled Dragon Rope? Is it very powerful?" Zixia suddenly asked in confusion, as if she had never heard of this thing.
"I don't know much about it. I just remember the name Panlong Rope. It is said to be the best rope for wearing pendants." Li Jian shook his head and looked at Zheng Taihua for advice.
"Xiao Gao, tell me." Zheng Taihua said with a smile.
"Yes." Gao Shaoyu nodded. He had made all these notes before, thanks to his super memory. Otherwise, he would have been like Li Jian, only hearing his name but not his story.
"The Coiled Dragon Rope has obscure records in the Shanshui Sutra. It is condensed from the strongest bloodline in the brain of the divine dragon. It contains endless essence and the meaning of the divine dragon. When a man wears it, he will be filled with the energy of true yang, which can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil.
Disasters can turn bad luck into good luck, and evil spirits and ghosts cannot approach. Women wearing it can harmonize yin and yang, have good physical strength, white skin, and fragrant body. The next generation born will also contain the blood of the dragon." Gao Shaoyu said seriously.
"Liar." Zixia spat.
"These are all recorded in unofficial history, and naturally they cannot be taken seriously. However, according to later records, the coiled dragon rope is made from the sinews of a kind of ethereal snake. It is said that this snake drinks the morning glow in the day, eats the morning dew at night, and is as light as a swallow.
, can fly in mid-air, and its whole body emits light like morning glow, like a god among snakes." Gao Shaoyu scratched his head again and said, feeling a little mysterious himself.
"It's a lie again," Zixia said with a cute frown.
"Zixia must not be rude." Li Jian pulled his sister and apologized to Gao Shaoyu.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, I thought it was a lie when I first saw it. However, after checking a lot of information, I found that there is such a species of ethereal snake, but it has been extinct for a long time, so I can't really study it." Gao Shaoyu said with a smile.
"Yes, the ethereal snake is extinct, and there are not many dragon ropes left in the world. I finally got one." Zheng Taihua said with a smile.
"Yes, the coiled dragon rope is indeed of great value. I want to buy it after seeing it. Unfortunately, I have the Qiu Shui Inkstone, so it is difficult to buy other ones." Qiu Bazhi laughed dryly, and bought Li Jian's one after he had one.
It's a bit unreasonable.
"I bought this Coiled Dragon Rope." Li Jian nodded and said. At first he was very fond of Qiu Shui Inkstone, but it was a pity that Zheng Taihua sold it to Qiu Bazhi. A gentleman is not easy to be loved by others.
"Brother, how do you judge whether this rope is real or fake?" Zixia whispered.
"Don't blame me for being ignorant." Li Jian glanced at his sister lovingly, and could only apologize to everyone.
"It doesn't matter, what we do business is to hope that someone will question it, so that we can grow." Zheng Taihua said with a smile, and then nodded to Gao Shaoyu.
"Well, I'm going to get the utensil." Gao Shaoyu nodded, turned around and brought in the utensil from outside. It was a smokeless charcoal fire utensil. When he put it into the room, not only was there no smoke, but he could also clearly feel the thick flame and heat.
It can never be faked.
On the other side is a small basin with a basin of ice water placed in it. If it is slightly close to the fire, wisps of white mist will appear due to the steam transpiration.
"It is said that the coiled dragon rope does not burn when exposed to fire and twists on its own; when placed in water, it swims on its own and solidifies into ice." Gao Shaoyu introduced, directly picked up the coiled dragon rope and threw it into the charcoal fire before he finished speaking.
In the appliance.
Hua Hua
"Ah!" Li Jian couldn't help but worry.
"This?" Qiu Bazhi was also startled. He didn't expect Gao Shaoyu to be so quick.
