........."One piece is 100, three yuan is 300!" Liu Dong said after thinking for a while.
However, after hearing what he said, the smile on the middle-aged boss's face froze.
The other two pieces of jade in Liu Dong's hands were nothing, but when he went to the countryside to receive the goods, they helped each other without spending a penny, except for the dragon pendant, although the cost was less than fifty yuan, but
After making it look old and putting in a lot of effort, if he sold it for 100 yuan, he would not lose money and even make a profit, but the middle-aged boss was not willing to do that.
Afterwards, the two bargained, and finally Liu Dong bought the three pieces of jade for 500 yuan.
Don't think that five hundred yuan is very little. In two thousand years ago, this was half a month's salary for an average white-collar worker.
…
"Xiaodong, you spent five hundred yuan to buy three such ugly things?" Mu Gang just stood aside and said nothing while watching Liu Dong buy things. Now he finally expressed the questions in his heart.
"Haha, Brother Mu, even though these pieces of jade look inconspicuous, they are truly priceless things. There are no more than 100 pieces of jade from their contemporaries in the country!" Liu Dong said with a hint of excitement in his tone.
asked.
When his relic aura shrouded these items just now, the dazzling orange aura shocked him for a long time. According to Liu Dong's judgment, any cultural relic emitting orange aura must be worth at least five thousand
Antiques from years ago.
At this time, Liu Dong picked out the dragon pendant among the three jade articles and threw it into the trash can on the roadside.
"Hey, Xiaodong. Why did you throw away the jade you bought with money?"
He reached out and grabbed Mu Gang, who was about to pick up the jade from the trash can again. Liu Dong smiled and shook his head, "Brother Mu, that piece of jade is not worth much, and the stall owner wanted to make Qin on it."
, it’s been soaked in dog blood for at least half a month, it’s so dirty!”
Hearing this, Mu Gang stopped, turned to the other two pieces in Liu Dong's hand with suspicious eyes and asked: "What about these two pieces...?"
"Haha. Don't throw away these two pieces. They are truly priceless treasures!" As Liu Dong looked at the two pieces of jade in his hands, there was a trace of fiery color in his eyes.
"Priceless treasure?" Mu Gang swept his head. For him, only advanced kung fu is priceless treasure.
"Yes, these two pieces of jade are from the Hongshan Culture jade that lived in the upper reaches of Daling River and Xiliao River in northern Hebei, western Liaoning and Ningbos five thousand years ago. This jade that looks like a hook was found in
Among the jades from the Hongshan Culture, there are only four jade pig dragons in the world! The remaining one is a jade figure from the Hongshan Culture. There are more than 10 in the world, and as far as I know, it is better than the jade figure in my hand.
The only ones that are bigger and more complicated are the Hongshan jade human and animal statues in the Forbidden City! Such rare things. Do you think they are precious?"
"It sounds very precious!" Mu Gang said with a smile. Although he didn't understand this, he was naturally happy when he saw Liu Dong finding the treasure.
"Excuse me, you two!" At this moment, a slightly older voice sounded not far to the left of Liu Dong.
After hearing this, Liu Dong turned around and saw a man in his sixties who was wearing a white waistcoat, gray pants, and a pair of dark purple sandals casually. He had an elegant air about him.
The old man appeared in his sight.
Noticing the actions of the two men, the old man smiled kindly.
"I'm sorry, I just heard you two talking. I'm really sorry! I'm just a jade lover, so after I heard that my little brother found a priceless Hongshan jade, I couldn't help but ask. I hope you two
If you can give me a chance, I, an old man, can feast my eyes on it!"
Noticing the alert look in their eyes, the old man continued: "The old man knows that this request is a bit abrupt, but the old man has been working on jade for a lifetime, and has never seen jade from the Hongshan Culture except in museums, so I am taking the liberty of doing so.
Xiangqiu, and the door with the word "Yuzhen Pavilion" in front is the old man's shop. You two don't have to be afraid of me, an old guy, running away with his things. And with the physique of a young man, you don't have to be afraid of me.
Old man." As he spoke, the old man smiled and nodded towards Mu Gang.
"Xiaodong...!" Mu Gang looked at Liu Dong, with a hint of agreement in his eyes.
In this old man, Mu Gang felt the same temperament as Uncle Long, that is, the ultimate pursuit from the heart for the things he likes. However, Uncle Long pursues all kinds of precious wood, and this old man is more
Value jade.
After extending his hand to signal Mu Gang to calm down, Liu Dong looked at the old man in front of him calmly and asked: "You are old, what is your surname?"
"Haha, the old man's surname is Wen. He is fairly well-known in Panjiayuan, and he has some respect in the entire Beijing antique circle!" Having said this, the old man showed a bit of complacency on his face.
Liu Dong didn't care too much about the truth or falsehood of what the old man said.
"Mr. Wen, although we just said that this is a jade artifact from the Hongshan Culture, why do you believe it so much? What if the joy is all in vain?" Liu Dong smiled lightly.
After hearing his words, the old man smiled and said, "Haha, young man! After all, the old man has lived most of his life. Although he has suffered a lot of losses, he has also developed some eyesight and is still a little confident in his own vision." After a pause.
After a while, the old man joined the two of them again, especially after Liu Dong took a rest, he continued: "It doesn't matter even if the last one is empty, I can treat you two to a drink of hot tea and make friends!"
After listening, Liu Dong was silent for a while and said with a smile: "Since you have already said this, it would be unkind for us not to go. We agree to this!"
"Please come first!"
"Haha, little brother is indeed a steady and witty person, okay! You two come with me!" As he said, the old man took the lead and led the way.
The three of them walked less than twenty meters before stopping in front of the "Jinbao Pavilion" that Mr. Wen had mentioned before.
"Master, you are back!" Seeing the old man leading Liu Dong and the others in, a young man in his early twenties with an honest look on his face hurriedly ran over.
"Well, Xiao Mingzi, you go to the back hall, make some good tea from my collection, and then bring it to the second floor. I have a distinguished guest!"
"Yes, master, I'll go right away!" The young man glanced at Liu Dong and Mu Gang curiously, walked through the store, opened the small door next to the counter, and disappeared behind the door.
"Please, both of you!"
"Well! Please come first!" Liu Dong nodded and said politely.
Following Mr. Wen upstairs, Liu Dong also took the opportunity to look at the entire store. The first floor of Zhenbao Pavilion covers an area of about 90 square meters. The left and right walls are covered with large and small jade pieces, but they are not big.
, and most of them are machine products, but fortunately they are all real jade, not inferior goods such as glass and plastic.
After Liu Dong took a few glances at the jade articles on the wall, he lost interest.
Instead, the jade pieces in the four glass cabinets in the middle of the lobby made his eyes shine.
"Not bad, not bad, I haven't seen such a majestic Beijing-style carver for a long time!"
At this time, Mr. Wen, who was leading the way, turned around after hearing Liu Dong's words, looked in the direction Liu Dong was looking, and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Little brother, you also understand.
jade carving!"
"That's right, Xiaodong can't help but make good jade carvings, and his wood carvings and antique collections are even better!" Before Liu Dong could speak, Mu Gang couldn't help but show off.
"Haha, is that so? I didn't expect that little brother is so versatile!" Mr. Wen said with a smile.
"The old man praised me, but compared with the craftsmanship of a pure Beijing jade carving master like you, I can't compare with you!" Liu Dong gave a small compliment.
Of course, although Liu Dong said this modestly, it is not bad. Compared with him who has reached the peak of his wood carving skills and is only one step away from the master, then on the road of jade carving, due to the lack of famous teachers
Guidance, his jade carving craftsmanship is still far away from the peak of 'skill', and even further away from the realm of master.
At this moment, the jade carving in the glass cabinet, with just a few cuts, has already outlined the image of the entire jade carving. It is lifelike, majestic, and has a royal atmosphere and the essence of Beijing School carving.
In addition, Liu Dong's carving skills are generally inherited from the Beijing School, so he has his own understanding of the Beijing School's jade carving techniques.
"Haha, little brother, thank you. Since you also know about jade carving, we can discuss it later!" After finishing speaking, Mr. Wen also indirectly explained that these jade carvings were indeed his handiwork.
"It's not appropriate to discuss this. If you could give me some advice, I'd be very grateful!" Liu Dong said sincerely.
While the two of them were talking, they had already reached the second floor, where they found a room of more than fifty square meters, with armchairs, an Eight Immortals table, and a screen decorated with plums, bamboos, orchids and chrysanthemums, all decorated in the style of a Ming and Qing Dynasty home.
"Come on, please sit down!"
At this time, the young man named Xiao Mingzi had already walked up carrying the teapot and teacup.
"Mr. Wen, please prepare a basin of water at normal temperature, a toothbrush, and a piece of clean white linen!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, the old man's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile: "It seems that my little brother also has a deep understanding of the way of Panyu!"
"Haha, the old man has won the prize, but I'm actually very ashamed. I don't have much time, so I can only use this 'Martial Pan' method! I hope it won't damage these two jade stones!"
Writing disks is time-consuming and laborious, and often fails to work in three to five years. If it takes too long to be buried, the disk playing time is often ten or even decades. The Hongshan jade in Liu Dong's hand dates back more than 5,000 years.
It's also a new one, it hasn't been unearthed for a long time. If you want to use a text disk, it won't work without decades of effort. Liu Dong doesn't have this skill.
As for Yi Pan, which has higher requirements, Liu Dong himself doesn’t know if he has the opportunity to ‘unify man and jade’, so he can only use ‘Wu Pan’! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
