Chapter 104 Jade Pixiu

Cai Hongming thought that the miscellaneous stall was actually a miscellaneous item among antiques, also known as miscellaneous items.

In the category of antiques, besides ceramics, craft collections that can be used for hand-playing, including bronzes, jades, furniture, embroidery, etc., can all be called miscellaneous items.

The thing that lured the jade beads between the eyebrows to shine was on the stall, but there were many things in the stall, and Cai Hongming didn't know which one it was.

So he squatted down in front of the stall. There were a lot of handicrafts such as gold, silver, copper, iron, and jade on the stall. In order to determine what exactly made the jade beads shine, he pretended to pick up the things on the stall and looked at them one by one. After a while, he found something that made the jade beads shine between his eyebrows.

It is a jade Pixiu.

The jade is not very good, with yellow soil mask on its body, which looks good.

The jade Pixiu was a pair of two pairs, so he grabbed the other jade Pixiu. Unexpectedly, the jade Pixiu could not make the jade pearl shine. He tried to grab other things, but this still seems that only the jade Pixiu could attract the jade pearl.

The stall owner who set up the stall is a middle-aged man. He seems to be bored and has picked up a book to read from somewhere.

Cai Hongming picked up the jade Pixiu and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this thing?"

Although the boss was reading a book, he was staring at Cai Hongming's every move. When he heard his question, he said, "This is a jade Pixiu of the Han Dynasty, and the price is a bit high."

From the Han Dynasty? Cai Hongming didn't understand these things. He grabbed the jade Pixiu and glanced at it for a few seconds. It didn't look like something from the Han Dynasty. "Boss, I'm not a collection, nor do I understand these. I just saw that this thing looks good, so I wanted to buy it back and play. Tell me how much it costs. If it's right, I'll buy it. If it doesn't work, forget it."

It doesn't seem like you know anything.

The stall owner thought to himself and said, "Then you are a little cheaper, three thousand yuan."

People who set up stalls here have a consensus, that is, kill animals and not kill old people, you can deceive foreigners and never deceive Chinese people, you can deceive elderly people, women and children, never deceive young people. Especially those young people with a strong and murderous look. Because this kind of young man is so stubborn, if you cheat him too badly, he will not matter whether you are under the feet of the emperor and the capital of China. If you should beat you or beat you as well. At that time, even if you go to the police station, you will be fined some money and detained, and you will be out in a few days. But you will be beaten and lose a few days of business. It’s not cost-effective for yourself, so it means that doing business is to make money with kindness.

When you encounter such a person, everyone will lower the price. At most, it will overflow a little from the original price and dare not be too cheating.

Cai Hongming looked at the jade Pixiu that was only about ten centimeters long in front of him, and felt that three thousand yuan was too expensive.

Jade is not a good jade, and the Hotan mutton fat jade he picked up by himself is not worth the money. His broken jade is sold for 3,000 yuan, is there any reason?

People who can set up stalls here are very good at observing their words and expressions. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are psychological masters. Judging from Cai Hongming's hesitation, he knew that they were close to his psychological price. So he took the initiative: "Young man, seeing that you are sincerely going to buy it, I will save another 200 yuan. You can take it away. You can't lose more. I only earn a little food expenses for you, and if you are less, you will lose more."

Why did Cai Hongming feel that this is so familiar? It seems a bit like the shouting of jumping off a building on the street and selling off.

"Two thousand eight is still too expensive. This thing is not worth that much money. Three hundred. If you feel you can, I will take it away." Cai Hongming said, and asked worriedly: "Boss, you are carved from stone! Don't fool people with things made from glass resin like those unethical and smoke-free guys."

"Young man see what you said, this is jade, not stone or glass resin. If you buy it, you can take it back and smash it to me if you find it is not jade."

Of course, he didn't say whether it was a good jade or not.

"But three hundred is too low, this is not possible." The stall owner continued.

"That five hundred, if it doesn't work, I can't do it." After saying that, Cai Hongming put down the jade Pixiu in his hand and made a gesture to leave.

"Hey, young man, why are you doing so urgent? Five hundred is only five hundred. Depending on your sincerity, I will sell it to you at a loss. I hope to support you when I come again next time."

"Absolute." Cai Hongming responded casually, but in fact he himself didn't know that next time he came, it was the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

The stall owner found a box, packed the jade Pixiu and handed it to Cai Hongming, and handed it to the other hand. It was quite regular. Cai Hongming took the box and took out the jade Pixiu that made the jade pearl shine and looked towards the sunlight. Unfortunately, he couldn't see any tricks, but he felt that there seemed to be something in the body of the jade Pixiu.

The stall owner took the money and looked back at him, and said, "Don't worry, young man, this is definitely jade. Who doesn't know that what I sell is real things."

It is true, but it is definitely not an antique. Except for one of the jade Pixiu in Cai Hongming's hand, one of which was collected from other places, was just something he had someone carved with a machine, but it was just something worth a few dozen yuan, which suddenly turned into five hundred yuan, and he made a lot of money.

When Cai Hongming heard his words, he nodded and wanted to put away his things.

Suddenly I heard someone shouting behind me: "Young man, please wait, can you show me the things in your hands?"

Cai Hongming turned his head and saw an old man in his seventies coming to his side at some point, and a young man with round sunglasses was following him. It seemed that he was a little proud, and he didn't even know that someone was around. If this was a fight, he didn't know how many times he would be cleaned up.

"Young man, can you show me the jade Pixiu in your hand?" the old man said again.

Cai Hongming glanced at him and didn't want to give it to him, because since this jade Pixiu can make the jade beads shine, it must be an extraordinary thing. What if it breaks? So he became more cautious, put down the jade Pixiu in his hand, took out the other one and handed it to him.

"Young man, I'm talking about that one." The old man pointed at the jade Pixiu he had put down and said with a smile.

"Is it different?" Cai Hongming pretended to be stupid.

"Of course it's different."

Unexpectedly, the old man was so sensible. After thinking about it, he was not afraid of him taking it away, so he handed over the jade Pixiu that made the jade beads shine, and he still ordered: "Be careful."

The young man wearing sunglasses next to him couldn't stand it, so he said, "Don't worry, if there is a problem, we will definitely pay you."

"Do you think I'm like a person who is short of money?" Cai Hongming glanced at him and said.

The young man smiled and didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly said, "I'm missing, very lacking."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cai Hongming was too lazy to bother with him.

? The old man took the jade Pixiu and looked carefully, as if he wanted to carve every color and every pattern on it into his mind. After a while, the old man returned the jade Pixiu to Cai Hongming, and then asked: "This jade Pixiu is good, are you willing to sell it?"

"Why aren't it a pair?"

"You probably have been cheated, that one is not a pair with this one." The old man was too lazy to say about such fake things at a glance, and only the so-called rookies regarded them as a pair.

"Is that true?" Cai Hongming said lightly.

The owner of the stall next to him heard their conversation and was about to explain, but seeing that Cai Hongming didn't care, he sat down again.

Cai Hongming was a rookie, but not a fool. He had long seen through the light emitted by the jade beads that the two were not a pair. The reason why he asked the old man this was just a test. He did not mean to sell jade Pixiu, so he put it away. Seeing that he put away his things, the old man was anxious.

"Young man, don't think about it? An old friend happened to have a jade Pixiu like you in his hand. If you add this one of you, just make a pair. Think about it, if it doesn't exceed 50,000, I can help him buy it."

The stall owner was stunned when he heard this. He thought he was slaughtering a rookie today, but he didn't expect that it was his old bird who was blind and flowed out the treasure in his hand.

In an instant, he felt so regretful that his intestines were blue.

Cai Hongming said everything when he heard the old man's words, because he could not sell the jade Pixiu at all. So after putting it away, he said to the old man: "Sorry, I won't sell this thing." After that, he turned around and left.

"Eighty thousand, young people, up to eighty thousand, they can't be any higher. Besides, it's useless to keep a jade Pixiu yourself. It's worth a pair."

Seeing that he was leaving, the old man hurriedly shouted from behind. Unexpectedly, Cai Hongming didn't even listen and left.

"Old Xun, it's just a jade Pixiu, where can I sell it? As for this?" the young man next to him said to the old man.

"What do you know?" Mr. Xun shouted angrily.

In fact, he said that his old friend had a similar jade Pixiu, which was just an excuse to buy the jade Pixiu in Cai Hongming's hand. Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that he would not buy oil and salt, and he would not sell it. He just looked at the jade Pixiu and found that the jade Pixiu was indeed a product of the Han Dynasty, and there were typical Han Dynasty carving techniques. Not only that, he also found that the jade Pixiu was covered with hidden patterns, and he could not see it carefully. There seemed to be ancient characters in the hidden patterns. But he was too anxious at the time, so he didn't have time to see clearly what the hidden patterns were talking about.

The value of such a jade Pixiu is not only the texture and history of the jade Pixiu itself, but also has added value. Just like the ancient tripod, the value of having inscriptions and not having inscriptions is completely different.

Also, if you buy this thing and study it, you might make some major discoveries. At least he didn’t find such hidden patterns on other things. It’s just that others don’t sell it, which is a pity.

After leaving the stall, Cai Hongming continued to stroll in the antique market.
