Wang Xiaoshan took one of them out of the box and showed the audience the front and back sides. The material on both sides was the same, not the kind of bone mahjong that uses bamboo on the back and ivory on the front.
The material on both sides is the same. If nothing else happens, this box of mahjong should be all made of ivory. I don’t know how many elephants were killed for this box of mahjong.
The mahjong tile Wang Xiaoshan just held in his hand is 3.2 centimeters long, 2.1 centimeters wide, and 1.5 centimeters thick. The mahjong tiles in the box are neatly arranged, and the other tiles should be of this size.
Except for the colors, mahjong is the same in other parts, so you can just show one to the audience, and there is no need to read each one.
There are more than 100 tiles in a Mahjong deck. If you look at each one, it will take you an afternoon. If you are a buyer inspecting the goods, you can look at them one by one slowly.
"I'm lucky today. The box contains mahjong. The mahjong pattern is very beautiful and the workmanship is very exquisite!"
"If I buy this set of mahjong, it would be great to play with a few friends in my free time!"
[Lao Wang, you buried this yourself, right? How come you even dug up modern mahjong? How much is this thing worth? A pair costs more than 100 yuan!]
[Who told you that mahjong only exists in modern times? It existed in ancient times. Some emperors liked to play mahjong in the past, but I just don’t know what the material of the pair dug out by Lao Wang is.]
[Mahjong has been dug out, should we play bridge, poker, and chess next time? After digging out more, Lao Wang’s family can open a chess and card room!]
[I think it should be ivory. Just now, the mahjong has intertwined herringbone patterns on it. If it were not artificial ivory, this mahjong would be worth a lot of money!]
[Lao Wang, my mahjong skills have improved. Can I play a game another day? I beg you to play a few rounds of ivory mahjong. I can bring my own mahjong table!]
There are quite a lot of sharp-eyed viewers in the live broadcast room. Some people can actually tell the material of a mahjong just by looking at it. It’s really amazing. There are so many talented people.
Mahjong is actually a game invented by the ancients, and it has a long history. It was once loved by people from all walks of life, from emperors to common people, who all like to play mahjong.
Mahjong is now known as the world's intellectual sport. Many people around the world like playing mahjong very much. Mahjong has been integrated into people's lives.
There are still some mahjong museums in China, which contain many precious ancient mahjongs, some made by celebrities and some used by the royal family.
Wang Xiaoshan once read a report on the Internet that the last emperor liked to play mahjong very much, and the mahjong used by this emperor was made of ebony as an important material.
This royal mahjong set is of the highest quality both in workmanship and material. It took a lot of energy and time from skilled craftsmen to complete it.
Moreover, some experts estimate that this royal pair of mahjong is worth at least 200 million. It is conceivable that this is not just a pair of mahjong, but has become a work of art.
However, Wang Xiaoshan is not very interested in playing mahjong. He only plays it with his family during the Chinese New Year. He doesn’t play much in daily life. For people his age, everyone prefers to play computer games and mobile games.
Even if Wang Xiaoshan likes to play mahjong, he will not play with this pair of ivory mahjong. If he gets interested in playing mahjong, he will slap the mahjong on the table hard when he is playing, and it will be a little heartbreaking if the pat is broken.
If someone buys this set of ivory mahjong from Wang Xiaoshan, he will probably keep it as a collection. He will not use this set of ivory mahjong when playing mahjong!
"In the next two days, I will get it to the appraisal center to identify the material it is made of. Audiences who are interested in buying this mahjong set will have to wait a little longer!"
"My mahjong skills are not very good, and I don't have much interest, so I have to find someone else to make an appointment. Remember to get up and walk around if you sit for a long time while playing mahjong, otherwise your waist will be in trouble!"
Just going for appraisal will take half a day. If this happens, Wang Xiaoshan may not be able to dig things in the mountains tomorrow.
Wang Xiaoshan was anxious to dig things in the mountains and upgrade his skills at the same time, but there were still many things at hand, which was really a waste of time. If time was really tight, he might have to sell this pair of mahjong another day.
[Lao Wang dug out two boxes of about the same size in a pit before. The other box is not mahjong. If this box is ivory, the other box buried so deep cannot be gold!]
[Gold mahjong is not applicable. How can you play it when it is so heavy? And when Lao Wang picked it up yesterday, it didn’t look very heavy. The things inside should not be heavy!]
[I’m so irritated. Why don’t I have the luck of Lao Wang? God is unfair to me!]
[It is inevitable to regret in life. My biggest regret in this life is that I did not become the best friend with Lao Wang!]
[Now I watch the videos of beautiful ladies on the live broadcast platform every day, and I feel like I’m in love. Unlike before, I had to fall in love in person. The same goes for digging for treasures. You don’t need to dig for them yourself!]
The audience in the live broadcast room became more and more tongue-tied, and they were all born jokers.
If you can't guess, more viewers will like to watch it. If the audience can guess everything inside every time, then no one will want to watch Wang Xiaoshan's live broadcast.
Just like a movie or TV show, as long as they know the ending, many people don't want to continue watching it. If they continue to watch it, they won't feel the same.
"I don't know what the other box is. You can guess what's in it. Let's take a ten-minute break and let's continue to open another one!"
Wang Xiaoshan pointed the camera at two mahjong tiles, one placed frontally and one placed backwards, so that the audience can see both sides.
Then Wang Xiaoshan put the box and the remaining mahjong in the box in front of Li Miaomiao. It belongs to her now. Girl, take your time and take a look. He needs to rest, drink some water, and go to the toilet.
It just so happens that the audience can watch the mahjong that was played just now. The live broadcast room has designated viewers who come early and viewers who come late, so everyone can watch it first.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
During the break, Wang Xiaoshan read the message Liu Yali sent him back. This time, the car endorsement fee, after deducting taxes and other miscellaneous expenses, was 3.5 million a year.
The endorsement fee of 3.5 million is much less than that of some big stars, but it is already quite high for ordinary people like Wang Xiaoshan. It can be said that the net profit is more than 3 million.
When the time comes, all Wang Xiaoshan will need to do is shoot a promotional video and take some photos, and the money will be made very quickly.
However, this time Wang Xiaoshan is endorsing a car, and he will need to attend a large-scale auto show later. The purpose of going there is just to interact with fans at the scene and increase the popularity of the car he is endorsing.
Wang Xiaoshan thought it was pretty good and could sign it. He asked Liu Yali to send a copy of the specific contract to his email address at that time. He would need to take a closer look at it in the evening.
After resting for ten minutes, Wang Xiaoshan was ready to continue opening the next box. He put the two mahjong tiles on the table into the mahjong box.
"Now we continue to open the next box. Those who didn't watch enough Mahjong just now will show it to you later!"
After Wang Xiaoshan told the audience in the live broadcast room, he took the tools and opened another box. Except for the size, the two boxes were almost the same.
The locks on the box are all about the same length and can be opened with a single pinch of the lock pliers. Wang Xiaoshan continues to use a knife to remove the sealant and some impurities from the seal.
After finishing picking, continue to hold the flat-blade screwdriver and start to separate. However, the second box is rectangular, so it takes a little longer to open it than the first one.
After Wang Xiaoshan opened the box, he found that there were two small boxes inside. He took the two small boxes out and put them on the table.
The two boxes are square and black, with patterns painted on them. The patterns are very delicate and look like flowers. The patterns are engraved on the boxes.
Wang Xiaoshan opened one of the boxes and found that the thing inside was a very common thing in modern times, and you can often see some elderly people playing this thing in the community: chess.
The box contained chess, with four chess pieces placed on one floor. Wang Xiaoshan opened another box. The box contained chess pieces again, with four chess pieces placed on one floor. It seemed that there should be 16 chess pieces in each of the two boxes.
Chess pieces.
The chess in one box is engraved with Chinese characters such as chariot, horse, and cannon in red regular script on the front, and the font is very regular. The chess in the other box is engraved with the characters chariot, horse, and cannon in black regular script on the front.
Wang Xiaoshan took out a chess piece from the box and found that the chess pieces in the box were about the same size as modern chess pieces.
However, the main color of the chess pieces is different from that of modern chess pieces. The main color of the chess pieces in the box is green.
There is a Chinese character Tuanshou in the middle of the back of the chess piece, the color is red, and two bats are engraved on both sides. The color of the bats is gold, and the work is very delicate.
The words and pictures on the front and back of the chess pieces are all engraved secretly.
Wang Xiaoshan took out a total of 2 chess pieces from the box, placed them on the table upside down and reversed, and then used the camera to take a closer look at the audience in the live broadcast room.
"There are two small boxes in the box just now, and the small boxes are filled with chess pieces!"
"If there is an audience who likes chess, you are in luck."
Chess has a long history in China. There are many people who like to play chess, and many people like to study chess.
[It was mahjong just now, and now it is chess. Lao Wang is so awesome. Two people can play chess, and four people can play mahjong. There are many leisure and entertainment projects!]
[Why is there only chess but no chessboard? Lao Wang goes to the whole chessboard. I want to fight you for a game. I will take the lead and the horse will jump. I am coming!]
[Why are these chess pieces all green? The color is so weird. They have been buried for too long and have become rusty. Lao Wang, please wipe it with paper!]
[Ancient chess is usually made of wood, stone or jade. Is Lao Wang’s one made of jade, or ivory?]
"These chess pieces are neither wood nor stone. Judging from the texture and feel, they should be ivory. The specific material will be subject to the final identification result."
"The green on it is not rusty, but the ancients used a crimson color on the chess pieces. In ancient times, the ivory crimson color was very popular, and the crescent color is what we often call dyeing now."
"The colors on Akane above are all mineral colors, not the chemical colors we often use in modern times, and the colors above should be the colors of that year."
The chess pieces on Wang Xiaoshan's table are red, blue, purple, and gold. There are many colors on them, but the main color of the chess pieces is green.
These chess pieces are first engraved with text and pictures secretly on the chess pieces, and then they start to fill in color. This process is very complicated.
In recent years, more and more people have begun to collect chess, because there are many kinds of materials for chess, which also makes their prices different.
There are many wooden chess pieces, among which chess pieces made of green sandalwood and golden nanmu can be said to be the top and most valuable chess pieces, followed by rosewood, and some chess pieces made of red sandalwood and mahogany are also very valuable.
Not bad.
In fact, chess made of jade is also very good, especially white jade chess is the most precious, and those made of high-quality black jade and Xiu jade are also worth collecting.
However, there are very few chess pieces made of jade in existence, and the price has remained high, making it impossible for ordinary collectors to afford them.
Although the material of chess is very important, the production process is also very important. High-end chess are generally exquisitely made, and some have complicated craftsmanship such as withered flowers.
This type of high-end chess is widely loved by collectors and they usually rush to buy it.
And if you collect chess, you also pay attention to whether a chess set is missing chess pieces. If it is a complete set, it is more valuable. If it is not a complete set, the price will be greatly reduced.
The chess set Wang Xiaoshan dug out this time is made of ivory, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. The pieces are well-proportioned and there is no shortage of chess pieces. Therefore, this chess set is of the highest quality and is worth collecting.

There once appeared on the market a chess set that was very similar to the chess set discovered by Wang Xiaoshan this time. It was sold for hundreds of thousands, which shows how popular this type of chess set is.
[Mom, all the things Lao Wang bought out today are ivory products. Is this going against the grain? It’s not good to keep selling such precious things!]
[Old Wang knows so much, everyone knows that it’s Qianse’s technique, it’s really awesome, you’re really understating your talents by staying in a small mountain village!]
[Lao Wang quickly made a price. I want this chess set. I can pay a deposit first. Can you read my private message first and chat privately!]
[The local tycoons are all anxious. Lao Wang made this deal. It seems that today’s mahjong and chess Lao Wang will sell for sky-high prices again. It’s so mahjong!]
[Lao Wang has reached the pinnacle of his life at such a young age. Excellence is really scary!]
Some viewers are already anxious to buy it, but Wang Xiaoshan is still prepared to sell it after appraisal, so that some buyers will say it is not ivory after buying it. He doesn't like to do this kind of nonsense.
What's more, many buyers have just sent private messages to Wang Xiaoshan, but he didn't have time to reply. As long as it is a good thing, there is no need to worry about selling it, and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it for a good price.
The chess set excavated by Wang Xiaoshan is not a cultural relic in terms of age. Although it is an ivory product, not all ivory items are cultural relics.
It seems that Wang Xiaoshan still needs time to appraise these two items, so that they can be appraised as soon as possible and sold as soon as possible.
"Gold coins, mahjong and chess will all be sold after they have been authenticated, so they are not for sale for the time being. Viewers who are interested in purchasing please pay attention to the remarks in the live broadcast room!"
"As expected, these three items will be on sale in the next two days!"
It just so happens that all three items need to be appraised, so let’s sell them together after the appraisal. Fortunately, Wang Xiaoshan did not appraise one item and sell one. Instead, the three items were appraised together and sold together, which saves time and effort.
After Wang Xiaoshan finished speaking to the audience in the live broadcast room, he placed one gold coin, one mahjong, and one chess piece each on the table for the audience to watch for a while.
Wang Xiaoshan had checked online what kind of items these identification centers could identify and what time he got off work. All of them were recorded on his mobile phone.
As for which appraisal center you want to go to, just check it on the memo.
Wang Xiaoshan turned off the sound in the live broadcast room, and then gave the remaining mahjong and chess to Li Miaomiao. Li Miaomiao could watch whichever one he wanted. He was going to make lunch now.
After lunch, Wang Xiaoshan still had a lot to do. He was going to go to the village to ask about the price of the wild lake first, and then go to the city to appraise all the things that needed to be appraised.
Today, Wang Xiaoshan and Li Miaomiao did not move much in the morning. They spent most of the time sitting on stools, so they were not very hungry.
At noon, Wang Xiaoshan cooked three home-cooked dishes. It was wasteful to cook too much and not finish it. Eating leftovers all the time is not good for your health, so you should eat fresh ones every time.
After cooking, Wang Xiaoshan asked his elders and Li Miaomiao to eat. During the meal, he told his grandfather that he would ask about the price of Yehu in the afternoon and asked his grandfather to accompany him in the afternoon.
It would be cheaper to take grandpa with you, but you still need to save what you can, not to mention that Wang Xiaoshan doesn’t know what’s going on down there in Yehu.
Everyone had lunch at noon, and when it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Wang Xiaoshan and his grandfather went to the village to ask about the price.
Li Miaomiao continued to write her manuscript at home. She wrote two things in the morning. She still had a lot to write, and she still needed to write them all and send them out today.
Wang Xiaoshan went directly to the village committee with his grandfather. The leaders of the village committee were very happy when they heard that he really wanted to contract the wild lake. After so many years of neglect, someone finally wanted to contract it.
Village committee leader: "You want to contract for a few years. If you contract for a long time, the price will be cheaper!"
The village still hopes that Wang Xiaoshan can contract for a few more years. The contract will provide a year's income, and it will not be a problem if it is always wasted.
Contracting a wild lake is nothing more than fish farming, but everyone who contracted it before lost money. After the news spread in nearby villages, no one was willing to contract it anymore.
Although it doesn’t cost much to contract Yehu, no one is willing to do a loss-making business.
The leaders of the village committee also hope that Wang Xiaoshan can revitalize this wild lake. Even if he does not contract the contract in the future, there will be people who are willing to take over. This is a virtuous circle.
Wang Xiaoshan: "I want to contract for one year for the time being. After the contract, I will drain the water from Yehu. Is that okay?"
Wang Xiaoshan's plan is for one year. If the digging is not completed, he will continue to contract at that time, and if he contracts, he will need to drain the water, so he needs to ask these things clearly in advance.
Wang Xiaoshan has never contracted before, so he doesn't understand many things. He just happened to come today and asked everyone. When the time comes to save the contract, he will not allow this or that.
Village committee leader: "These are all possible, but after contracting, you need to set up warning signs or protective fences. If there are safety problems, you need to take responsibility!"
When contracting ponds or wild lakes for farming, you need to pump water and clear out the silt. These are routine operations. If you don't do this, who will contract it?
After the contract, Wang Xiaoshan became the person in charge of Yehu. If something like drowning happened, he would be responsible, but there were no other things to pay attention to.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Okay, how much will it cost if we contract for one year?"
Village committee leader: "If you contract for one year, one acre of land costs 100 yuan. There are 21 acres of land in Yehu. They are all from the same village and are cheaper for you. A total of 2,000 yuan a year."
Wang Xiaoshan's price is 2,000 yuan per tin, which is really cheap. Fortunately, it has been abandoned for many years, otherwise it would not be so cheap. This time he really got a bargain.
At this price, you don’t need to ask your grandfather to accompany you. Wang Xiaoshan thought it would be at least tens of thousands of yuan, but he didn’t expect it to be incredibly cheap.
The village has not found a contractor for a long time. Today it is rare to find someone willing to contract. If the asking price is too high for fear of scaring the other party away, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Now the village just hopes that it can be contracted out, and the price increase will be considered later.
Wang Xiaoshan: "The price is no problem, can I sign the contract today?"
Village committee leader: "Okay, please wait a moment!"
Contracting a wild lake for 2,000 yuan, Wang Xiaoshan felt that even if there were no valuable treasures in it, he could make back the money just by fishing out the fish in it.
Wang Xiaoshan doesn't need to go scan in advance. He will contract it first and then make a few warning signs in the afternoon and put a few more beside the lake to avoid drowning.
As for the fence, Wang Xiaoshan plans to install it when the water is pumped out. Then he will have time to look at it every day, but now he has no time to look at it.
After a while, the contract was brought. After both parties signed the contract, Wang Xiaoshan took the contract to make warning signs. After booking the warning signs, he went home directly.
I really got a bargain today. 2,000 yuan directly made Wang Xiaoshan the Lord of a Lake. The name Lake Lord is quite good.
When Wang Xiaoshan returned home, he saw Li Miaomiao still writing a manuscript in the yard. He asked Li Miaomiao if she would go with him to the city for appraisal later.
If he goes to Wang Xiaoshan, he will wait for Li Miaomiao. If he doesn't go, he will pick up the things and go by himself. Li Miaomiao has already taken a look at the three things on the table, and there is no need to look at them for the time being.
Therefore, if Wang Xiaoshan takes it directly for appraisal now, it will not affect Li Miaomiao's writing of the manuscript. After he asked, Li Miaomiao said that she would go and have a look with him.
Li Miaomiao is also planning to write the results of the appraisal into the manuscript, which will be more convincing, and her manuscript will probably take more than 20 minutes to finish.
Since Li Miaomiao wanted to go with her, Wang Xiaoshan sat in the yard and waited for her to finish writing. It was still early and it was too late to wait for her to finish writing before driving there.
Wang Xiaoshan first posted the photos of the mahjong and chess games played in the morning on a certain blog to promote them himself. The live broadcast cannot be on all the time, but everyone can view the photos at any time.
Then Wang Xiaoshan went online to check how much the baby sold today is worth, so that he can sell it tomorrow.
