Boss, is there a relatively large antique market selling jade in Ningdu? When Yu Fei came to Ningdu for the first time, his eyesight was blank, so he could only ask the shop owner.
The boss smiled naively and said: I sell duck blood vermicelli, who knows where to sell jade?
This is true, Yu Fei just said this casually, and I didn't expect him to know. After all, it was the beginning of 2000, and the collection of antiques was far from that popular.
At this moment, the conversation between two people next to him attracted Yu Fei's attention.
Brother, I only have nine hundred yuan now. Please sell me this piece of Han jade. The person speaking was a young man in his early twenties with short hair. Although he wore black-rimmed glasses, he still couldn't hide it.
He could feel the strong energy in his body. At this moment, he was pointing at a piece of jade and making a counter-offer.
For nine hundred yuan, you want to buy this jade from me. A thin, dark man in his thirties across from me said anxiously. The clothes on his body showed a slight white color after being washed many times. He was neat but embarrassed. He raised the jade in his hand.
Bi: Let me tell you, although my piece of jade is not Hetian jade, it is also white jade, and it is worth at least several thousand yuan. Yu Fei was farther away, and felt that the jade was indeed old, and it still had some dark yellow Qin on it.
.
If it is really a jade passed down from the Han Dynasty, it might be able to replenish the green energy in the right hand.
Yu Fei couldn't help but get interested and leaned over.
Brother, I really want to buy your jade, but I really don’t have that much money with me. Look at the short-haired young man who turned out the pockets on his jacket and pants. They are indeed empty.
Little brother, you come to judge. The thin black man said to Fei: This piece of jade is definitely an old item from the Han Dynasty, and it is an ancestral treasure of my family. Look at the color, the carving, and the Qin.
Sexy. If something hadn't happened at home and the children were waiting to eat, I wouldn't have sold it even if I starved to death. This man actually wanted to buy this piece of jade from me for 900 yuan. What do you mean this is not blackmail?
Yu Fei saw behind the thin black man, a little girl of seven or eight years old with a simple braid. He knew at a glance that it was made by his father.
Facing Yu Fei's gaze, the little girl looked a little shy and shrank back slightly. But she still looked longingly at Yu Fei's unfinished bowl of duck blood vermicelli.
Yu Fei's heart was shocked. It seemed that such a scene had occurred in his memory, but he couldn't recall it no matter how hard he thought about it.
Seeing that Yu Fei didn't answer his question, the thin dark man couldn't help but feel anxious. He took a step forward and said, "Little brother, please take a look. This jade from the Han Dynasty costs more than 900 yuan."
Jade bi is a sacrificial tool. According to the Zhou rites, "use jade as six utensils to honor the four directions of heaven and earth. Use green jade to honor the sky, yellow cong to honor the earth, green gui to the east, red canopy to the south, and
The white amber is used as a gift to the west, and the standing cross is used as a gift to the north. "As a jade article used to pay homage to heaven, bi occupied an important position among jade articles before the Han Dynasty, and formed a system of jade bis such as the plain bi with the valley pattern and the jade with the animal face pattern and the chi pattern.
The thin black man handed Yu Fei a grain-grained jade. The material was sapphire, which was dark white and had a heavy turquoise color. The surface of the jade was decorated with two weeks of patterns on the inside and outside, and the outer periphery was grained. The grains were spiral-shaped and looked very sparse.
;The inner periphery is lined with thin negative lines.
This is a piece with a spiral grain pattern, also called lying silkworm pattern, but the grain pattern is sparse, which is different from the dense features of jade before the Han Dynasty, like the imitations of the Song Dynasty.
Brother, let me tell you the truth. The short-haired young man said: This jade of yours is not from the Han Dynasty at all, but a forgery from the Song Dynasty. It is not worth that much money at all.
Hearing this, the thin black man looked at Yu Fei nervously and asked: "Little brother, you are a good man. Tell me the truth. How could this jade of mine be a counterfeit? This is an ancestral treasure of our family."
Hearing the man's words, Yu Fei sneered in his heart, you can see that I am a good person, but have you seen that I once used a telescope to peek at the girls in the opposite dormitory taking a shower? The oboe of these two was too bad.
, with such acting skills, you still have the nerve to come out and make a living. Just pick two extras and you can beat them eight blocks.
However, these two people obviously put in a lot of effort. They did not expect that the so-called Han jade could fool people, but used the guise of imitation from the Song Dynasty. Although it was a imitation, after all, the imitations from the Song Dynasty are still old objects today.
, the price will naturally not be low. If someone has the mentality of picking holes, they are likely to fall into a trap.
Especially novices who have some theoretical knowledge but no practical experience will find everything specious and are most easily fooled. However, Yu Fei has the biggest cheating device, and that is his right hand.
In Tianning Temple, Yu Fei discovered that his right hand could absorb the green energy in old objects, but new objects did not. Yu Fei did not know the reason for this, but he guessed that these jade objects may have gradually faded over the long years.
It stores an unexplainable gas, which is temporarily called the gas of chaos. And my right hand happens to be able to sense and absorb the gas of chaos. These can be seen from the jade cicada and lotus-holding boy jade that I wear.
Get confirmed.
Yu Fei took the jade bi, but there was no reaction in his right hand. It was obviously made from modern handicrafts.
Yu Fei smiled slightly and said: I can't tell. In the collection world, if you encounter an old object, you usually don't say it's fake, but say it's not real or that it's new. However, Yu Fei's words are more vague and unclear.
It can be understood that he cannot tell the truth from the false, or it can be understood that he has seen that this thing is a fool's errand but is too embarrassed to say it. These rules he learned from Dong Dechang in the car.
He gently put the jade on the table and said: Please keep this jade. The reason why he did not hand it directly to the black and thin man, but put it on the table for the man to pick up, is to prevent the porcelain from touching the porcelain.
It is a jargon in the antiques industry that refers to a seller who intentionally lets a buyer damage his or her item and uses the opportunity to extort money.
Seeing that Yu Fei spoke jargon and acted calmly and calmly, the dark and thin man knew that there was no chance of success today, so he put away the jade and greeted the short-haired young man to leave.
Yu Fei waved to the little girl, and the girl timidly came to Yu Fei.
He squatted down, held the little girl's shoulders, and said warmly: Tell uncle what your name is.
Niuniu, the little girl whispered.
How old are you this year?
Seven years old.
Are you hungry?
Niu Niu glanced at the thin black man and nodded.
Yu Fei shouted to the shop owner: Boss, three cages of steamed dumplings, three bowls of vermicelli, I want a bigger bowl.
Okay. The boss agreed and soon brought out three large bowls of vermicelli.
Yu Fei took Niuniu back to the table, picked her up and put her on the bench, then pushed the hot steamed dumplings and vermicelli in front of the girl, and said: Eat quickly if you are hungry.
Unexpectedly, Niuniu looked back at the thin black man and said: Dad hasn't eaten yet.
The thin, dark man burst into tears when he heard his daughter's words.
Niu Niu quickly ran to her father's side and said in a tearful voice: "Don't cry, Niu Niu won't eat, Niu Niu is not hungry."
Yu Fei walked over, patted his shoulder, and whispered: Don't do this kind of thing in front of your children in the future.
The thin black man choked and nodded.
Okay. Don't keep the children waiting, let's eat quickly. Yu Fei pulled the two people who were still a little nervous to the table and sat down.
The two of them were indeed hungry. They ate two large bowls of vermicelli without even the soup left. Worried that Niuniu wouldn't be full, the thin black man didn't even touch the steamed dumplings. Yu Fei ordered three more steamed dumplings and two bowls of vermicelli before giving in.
They are full.
During the conversation, Yu Fei learned that the black and thin man's name was Qi Yue. His hometown was in the countryside of Yancheng and he worked in a construction team. His wife ran away with someone years ago, so Qi Yue took his nephew Qi Zhi, who had just retired from the army, with him.
The short-haired young man went to work on the construction team with his daughter Niuniu. But what he didn't expect was that when the project was about to be completed, the contractor ran away with the money. After working hard for half a year, he didn't even get a penny. In fact,
I couldn't stand it any longer, so I had no choice but to come up with this trick.
Grandpa Qi Yue used to be a minister of a pawnshop in the old society, and he was also well-known in the world of antique collecting. Qi Yue had been exposed to collecting since he was a child and knew a little about collecting, so he bought a few pieces of fake jade with relatively good quality and good workmanship from the market.
, after being old-fashioned, they came out to deceive people. However, this deception was really not very good. In addition, the two of them heard about the whole deception process, so the show was full of loopholes. I went to several places with dry mouth.
can succeed.
I just heard that Yu Fei wanted to buy antique jade, and he was young and still had a bookish air about him. At first glance, he knew that he was a student and had little social experience, so he targeted him, but Yu Fei easily saw through it.
Yu Fei didn't show much interest in Qi Yue's experience. Instead, he asked Qi Zhi: Were you not an ordinary soldier before? He felt that the aura of Qi Zhi was not just as simple as being a soldier for two years, but only experience.
This kind of coldness and indifference can only appear in people who have gone through swords and swords and fought flesh and blood.
Qi Zhi glanced at Yu Fei in surprise, hesitated for a moment but said nothing, and Yu Fei stopped asking.
After finishing the meal, Yu Fei paid the bill, gave Qi Yue another five hundred yuan and said, "It's time for the child to grow, so we can't starve her."
Some people may wonder that there are so many poor people. If Yu Fei treats everyone like this, no matter how much money he has, he will not be able to spend it. In fact, Yu Fei also wonders why he would do such a thing. The only explanation is
When he saw Niu Niu, it seemed that the tenderness deep in his memory was evoked, making him unable to control himself.
Qi Yue's tears fell again, but he turned his head stubbornly.
Yu Fei patted his shoulder and was about to go back to the hotel, but Qi Zhi unexpectedly stopped him and said: Brother Fei, I just heard that you want to find a place to buy antique jades. You can go to Chaotian Palace, but there are
Everything is fake.
Chaotian Palace Yu Fei nodded, took note of this place, and decided to go to Chaotian Palace early the next morning to have a look, maybe he could find some old jade.
