Chapter 171 Rhino Horn Cup in the Mid-Ming Dynasty
He Chong didn't drive his own car. He didn't want to be too arrogant, otherwise he would be showing off, which would be bad.
Although they are young, they are both veterans of shopping. They know that only by going to the flea market for this kind of antique can you find more good things.
So it was only half past six when the two arrived at Yingshan Antique Market, but there was already a rush of people there.
"Boss, I only know jade." Zhu Chen said, "I can't understand other things."
"I understand." He Chong smiled, "If I receive something else, it's not counted in this competition, only looking at jade artifacts, right?"
"Okay." Zhu Chen made an OK gesture and smiled, "Then let's start separately? I'll look for it from the east, you search from the west, and return to here after all."
"Okay." He Chong took out his magnifying glass, "I wish you a good thing."
"Boss, too." Zhu Chen smiled confidently, "Don't forget to treat him if you lose."
"Hahaha, no problem!"
Without further ado, the two of them started searching in the designated direction. Two young men who were a little out of place in the market quickly got into the antique stall that looked like a long snake.
The antique markets across the country are similar in structure, and there must be areas where shops are run, but those stalls must exist, especially in Yingshan Antique Market, but they are more than twice as big as the antique street in Binhai.
Although the area is much larger and there are more stalls, the situation is similar. There are many fakes, which are really hard to find.
He Chong looked at him one by one. Now he no longer needs to pick up things one by one to check. With his eyesight at this time, he could see what things had their own tricks by just a few glances. It would not be too late to pick them up and observe them.
The weather today was very good, not very hot, and the sun was abundant, and He Chong was even more lucky. He only looked at seven or eight stalls and found the real thing.
"How much does this thing cost?" He Chong squatted in front of the stall and seemed to pick up a blue and white porcelain bowl casually.
"Two thousand!" The stall owner saw that he came to business and immediately became energetic, "If you want it sincerely, you can be cheap."
"Why don't you go and grab it?" He Chong pretended to be scared, "It's too expensive, what about this one?"
The second one I picked up was a bracelet. The black one was not visible in any material, but it looked quite old.
"Brother, you have such a good eye. This is a bracelet of agarwood." The stall owner hurriedly said the material, then lowered his voice and said, "I think we are destined to be together. If you want it, just 1,500, how about it?"
"Bah!" He Chong glared at him, "If it's so expensive, don't you want to make money anymore?"
"Brother, look at what you said, how could I not want to make money?" The stall owner said aggrievedly, "What I said is fair price. If this agarwood is placed in a regular market, it will be sold by Lunke."
"Stop it, you know it's a street stall." He Chong looked at these two things for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, but finally sighed and let it go, but then picked up the third thing, "What about this one? If you want to lie to me again, I will leave immediately!"
The so-called drunkard's intention is not wine. He Chong took the two pieces before just to confuse the other party. The one he really liked was the horn cup in his hand now.
The exact material is unknown, but it must be horn-like. The cup-shaped tilt is like an inverted helmet. The outer wall is simply embossed with flower and fruit patterns such as magnolia, lychees, grapes, etc., and the branches and leaves are surrounded by circles. The carving is not very good.
"Oh, brother, your eyesight is really amazing. This thing is my best one." The stall owner is also a wise man, and he has something to deal with whatever he picks up.
The reason why He Chong picked up this horn cup was because he saw the old-fashion on it, but he didn't see the material. He felt that at most it was a buffalo horn cup.
However, after the middle finger of God touched the surface, the information presented in his mind made him feel a little earth-shaking.
"Rhino Horn Cup, in the mid-Ming Dynasty, was made of rhino horn..."
The horns of rhino are not only precious in modern times, but also in ancient times. Looking at the five thousand years of history, there has never been any period that this thing is bad. No matter who gets it, it will be hidden like a treasure.
You should know that the function of this rhino horn is not only carved into shapes for people to appreciate or play with. Its greatest value is medicinal use, but also a very expensive medicine, which often has a priceless state.
The price of rhino horns internationally ranges from 1 ooo-15 o'clock per gram, and this price refers to more valuable foreign currency. You can imagine how expensive this thing is.
"I'll just say it's OK if I take one, I'm afraid you're not bad, right?" He Chong made up his mind to buy it after getting the information, but at this moment he was silently suppressing the price. "A cup with a broken buffalo horn, not to mention it as mysterious, this thing will last for ten years at most."
"Brother, I'm a rhinoceros horn cup that I'm like to change." The stall owner wanted to scare He Chong.
"Stop, don't tell me these useless things. If it were rhinoceros horn cups, would you sell them?" He Chong reached out and interrupted him, "Just say it, the minimum price is, I will take it if it is suitable, and I will leave if it is not suitable. Everyone is happy. I still have something to do and don't want to waste time."
"This..." The stall owner obviously didn't open the store, so hesitated for a long time before saying, "Why don't you? This is really the lowest, I'll ask for a store."
"Trade!" He Chong didn't say anything, "Transfer money to you on WeChat."
The stall owner saw that the deal could be completed, so he hurriedly took out his cell phone, He Chong scanned the code to pay, pretending to be nothing, he collected the horn cup and continued to go shopping in the stall.
Although He Chong's face has not changed, he has long been happy. You should know that rhino has been killed in our country for a long time because of its extinction. Therefore, this thing is so precious and very useful, and it can save people at critical moments.
So He Chong didn't plan to sell this horn cup, but wanted to keep it yourself in case there was an emergency in the future that he could use it to save people and treat his illness.
He Chong was very happy when he won the first battle. It would be enough to get this thing today. Even if there is nothing next, it doesn’t matter. The rhinoceros horn cup is really the treasure among the treasures.
But let alone, He Chong really didn't encounter any good things in the next time, all of which were fakes, which made him a little helpless.
While walking around, I suddenly heard Zhu Chen's voice. When I looked up, I realized that I had met him in this long-distance stall.
"Boss, how about it?" Zhu Chen asked, "Have you found any good things?"
"I didn't find the jade artifact, but I got one of the other good things." He Chong was not anxious and asked with a smile, "Where are you?"
"Hehe, I'm not talented, I found one." Zhu Chen smiled mysteriously, "But I can't show it to you now. The suspense is that it will be fun to reveal it in the end."
"Hahaha, OK!" He Chong was not very concerned about this competition, and it didn't matter whether he won or lost. "Then let's continue shopping." The two of them simply touched each other, and then went wrong to continue searching. He Chong didn't know whether he would find the real thing next, but Zhu Chen would definitely not meet the real product again. After all, it was a stall that He Chong had searched for, and there would definitely be no misses.
