Chapter 485: Jade plug nine orifices
...After having breakfast, helping his mother wash the dishes, and sending them to school, Liu Dong drove to the city. △In addition to buying a heaven and earth pole for his father, he also made an appointment with Chang Fangtao
, let’s go to Taifeng Antique Market together! Liu Dong also wants to see if he can get some good treasures at the street stalls in his hometown!
The car drove into the city and picked him up at the gate of the community where Chang Fangtao lived on Dawang Road. Under the instructions of the other party, Liu Dong drove along Linglongshan North Road towards the Taifeng Antique Market on the south bank of the Nanyang River!
"Yes, that's it! We can just park the car outside on the roadside!" Chang Fangtao said.
It was exactly 9:30 in the morning when the two of them came. This time is in winter and happens to be a time when there are many people.
"Hey, there's a pancake and fruit seller over there, let's go and have some breakfast first!" Chang Fangtao pulled Liu Dong after getting off the car.
"You go ahead and eat! I had dinner at home this morning!"
"Really? You still get up as early as you did in high school?" Chang Fangtao said in surprise.
As an old classmate, roommate, and bunk bed, Chang Fangtao knows very well Liu Dong’s habit of getting up at five o’clock every morning during his three years of high school!
"Go quickly! I'll wait for you at the door!" Liu Dong did not answer directly.
"You are such a freak!" After shaking his head, Chang Fangtao quickly ran towards the roadside stall.
After he bought something and came over early, the two of them followed the flow of people and walked towards the intersection. After passing a green belt of about 20 meters, a concrete brick paved ground appeared in front of them. A small square of about 2,000 square meters appeared in front of them.
, the small square is crowded with people at this moment, and antique stalls that Liu Dong is familiar with are placed randomly on the ground, everything is the same as Quancheng Antique City!
"Let's go!" Liu Dong said, ready to move.
"Hey, wait for me, it's still early, why are you walking so fast? Liu Dong...!" Chang Fangtao shouted.
"I didn't expect to find something good as soon as I arrived!" Liu Dong thought to himself.
By the time Chang Fangtao caught up from behind, Liu Dong had already squatted down in front of a stall displaying porcelain, ancient jades, but also more ancient books, calligraphy and paintings.
Liu Dong did not look at the porcelain, ancient books, calligraphy and paintings next to him. His attention was on the jade in front of him, which was still stained with yellow soil and looked a little dirty.
Because in ancient times, in addition to being ornamental, most of the jades were used as funerary objects. Therefore, 80% of the jades on the market today were dug out from tombs by ancient and modern tomb robbers and resold. Therefore, many cultural relic dealers are selling jades.
Sometimes, they will also deliberately make them a little dirty in order to pretend to be freshly unearthed and deceive newbies in the antique industry who know a little but not very well.
Of course, Liu Dong will not be deceived by these appearances!
As Liu Dong's hands continued to flip through the thirty or forty jade articles, he soon picked out a dozen jade articles of different sizes and shapes one by one and piled them together! However, each of these dozen jade articles was
None of them are big, the largest one is just a little thicker than your thumb, about ten centimeters in length.
"Boss, how do you sell these pieces of jade?" Liu Dong asked, pointing to the dozen or so pieces of jade he picked out.
Hearing this, the middle-aged boss, who had been paying attention to him just now, hurriedly came over, took a look at the jades Liu Dong selected, and said with a smile: "Little brother, let's not talk secretly. These jades are 100% ancient jade from the Han Dynasty."
, if you really want it, then I won’t ask you for more, five hundred pieces, what do you think?”
The boss spoke with a Henan accent, and he was obviously coming from there to participate in the Qingzhou First Calligraphy, Painting and Antiques Exchange Meeting that is being held these days!
"Five hundred is too expensive, I'll pay ten yuan at most!" Liu Dong shook his head. Having been in the Quancheng antique market for more than three years, Liu Dong knew very well that the words of antique dealers were the most unbelievable!
Moreover, when bargaining, you must be very ruthless in bargaining, otherwise you will definitely suffer in the face of these old people who "talk to others and talk to ghosts"!
"Little brother, it seems you are not sincere!" The middle-aged boss twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a hint of reluctance in his expression.
"If I weren't sincere, I wouldn't have asked the price just now!"
"However, little brother, the price you gave is too low. If I sell it to you for ten yuan a piece, I will lose the money!" the middle-aged boss said quickly.
After listening to what he said, Liu Dong showed a thoughtful look on his face, as if he really believed what he said!
Seeing this, the middle-aged boss showed a hint of joy on his face! But this joy soon froze on his face!
"Ten dollars is indeed a little less, so I'll give you another five dollars, which should be enough!"
"Please add more!" the middle-aged boss said with difficulty after regaining his composure.
"Thirty-one items, I'm already very sincere. If you don't sell them anymore, I won't want them anymore!" As he said that, Liu Dong stood up.
At this time, both of them were testing each other's bottom line to see who would miss it first. But what surprised the middle-aged boss was that the young man in front of him looked young, but acted extremely calmly, no matter what he did
After testing it, there wasn't even the slightest bit of strange color on his face.
"I'm so sorry, little brother! I really can't sell it for thirty yuan!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded and said nothing more. He greeted Chang Fangtao who was standing behind him and turned around to leave without any nostalgia.
"Liu Dong, you really don't want the jade just now!" Chang Fangtao said in surprise.
"Of course I do, but it's just a little more troublesome!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
Now it's a mental battle between him and the middle-aged boss just now. Whoever can't hold on first will lose! The loser will naturally suffer!
"One, two, three!" Just when Liu Dong was reciting three in his mind, a familiar shout suddenly came from behind him, "Little brother, wait!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile on his face, but the moment he turned around, his expression quickly returned to his original state.
Chang Fangtao, who was standing next to him, was shocked at this sudden change of expression. When did he, an old classmate, have such a deep palace?
"Let's go!" After patting Chang Fangtao on the shoulder, Liu Dong turned around and returned to the previous stall!
"Little brother, thirty-one is indeed a bit too little. What do you think of forty? It also allows me to earn some hard money, right?" The middle-aged boss, who was defeated, directly expressed his inner price. Of course.
Even with forty-one items, he can still make more than half the profit!
"Okay, just forty-one!" Liu Dong pretended to lower his head and thought for a while, and finally agreed.
"Haha! Little brother is indeed a cheerful person!" When Liu Dong agreed, the middle-aged boss breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, he counted the jade pieces that Liu Dong had mixed just now, and there were eleven pieces in total! According to the previously agreed price of 40 yuan per piece, the total was four hundred and forty yuan.
Liu Dong gave him four hundred and fifty, but there was no need for him to look for it again!
After packing the jade pieces in a small bag given by the middle-aged man, Liu Dong took Chang Fangtao and left with satisfaction!
"Why are you always looking at me? I don't have flowers on my face!" Liu Dong said in surprise after noticing the old man's straight eyes.
"Liu Dong, it seems that you have really changed a lot in the past three years outside. The 'play hard to get' just now fooled even me, who has been your classmate for three years!" Chang Fangtao said.
"Of course people change, aren't you the same?"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, Chang Fangtao nodded, with a hint of emotion in his words: "Yes, people will change. Now we are in society, and we have long passed the youthful and carefree high school years.
Got it!"
"Okay, don't be sour! Even if you change again, you will still be my old classmate!" Liu Dong patted Chang Fangtao's shoulder as he said, "Let's go, I have gained something now, and it's up to you next!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Fangtao quickly asked: "Hey, Liu Dong, what are the jades just now, and why did you spend so much effort to buy them?"
"You don't know?" Liu Dong said in surprise.
"What do I know? I studied calligraphy and painting appraisal, but I don't know much about jade!" Chang Fangtao shook his head.
After nodding his head in understanding, Liu Dong said: "Have you ever heard of Yusai Nine Apertures?"
"Of course I have heard that when nobles in the Han Dynasty were buried, nine jade objects were stuffed into two eyes, two nostrils, two ear holes, one mouth, genitals and anus, also called 'Nine-Aperture Jade'!" At this point!
, Chang Fangtao suddenly understood, "What you bought just now is the 'Nine Aperture Jade'!"
"Not bad! I didn't expect to be able to buy a complete set of 'Nine Aperture Jade' when I first came here, and I didn't know that the tomb robber dug it out!" Liu Dong shook his head as he spoke.
"Xiaodong, show me! I only need to look at the 'oral' part, forget about the rest!"
Among the 'Nine Aperture Jade', the most exquisite ones are usually the 'Kuowu'. The ones in the Han Dynasty are usually cicadas, especially the jade cicadas from the Eight Dao of the Han Dynasty. If the jade quality is good, the price is more than 100,000 yuan.
Liu Dong did not refuse Chang Fangtao's request, and quickly took out the mouthpiece from the small bag. But before handing it to him, Liu Dong had already taken a piece of white toilet paper and wiped the loess from the jade cicada.
I've cleaned it up, and although it's not completely clean yet, at least it looks much better than the dirty look before.
"Xiaodong, is this the Jade Chan from the Eight Blades of Han Dynasty?"
"Yes!" Liu Dong nodded.
"But why are you so ugly?" Chang Fangtao frowned.
Indeed, the surface of the jade cicada in Liu Dong's hand is black and red, but it is mostly black. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see the red color at the bottom.
"This is raw jade. It hasn't been plated yet, so it won't show its quality!" Liu Dong said.
