Chapter 133 Jade Carving Pixiu 2

There is a jargon in the antique circle for identifying antique jade accessories, which is called: jade cannot be made without Qin. (Dingdian Novel Handwritten Novel) Visible Qin color is one of the important criteria for the identification of ancient jade, but it is not an absolute standard.

The bright color on ancient jade is due to the jade being buried in the soil for a long time, and the color change is caused by the interaction between its trace elements and the materials in the soil. Because the soil in the buried area contains different materials and the length of burial is different, so

As a result, the colors on jade are also different, showing ever-changing colors.

Chen Yuanxin of the Qing Dynasty made a detailed classification of the refreshing colors of jade in "Jade Records". There is a record in it: "The origin of the refreshing colors of various colors is difficult to study deeply, and they are collectively called the Thirteen Colors." So generally Generally speaking, the soil in the north of my country is mostly alkaline, and the color of jade is mostly yellow soil. The soil in the south is moist and acidic, and the color of jade is mostly white water.

Most of the above mentioned jade objects are generally buried with jade objects, but there are also extremely individual cases.

For example, the Bashan jade carving Pixiu that Cao Yong saw was because southern Yunnan is located very close to Myanmar, which is rich in jade. Many people have played with jade carvings since ancient times. Some of these objects have been passed down from generation to generation and have not been used at all.

After being buried in the ground for a day, the jade cannot be said to have such a clear color.

As for the fat boss, his attitude is similar to what Cao Yong used to do. He is setting up stalls in this antique market to earn some money. Such a half-jealous character will naturally not be able to understand the jade carvings that have no trace of ancient jade.

Ye Huan just used the spiritual energy in his eyes to identify the jade carving Pixiu. Judging from the faint golden color, this object should be a jade carving from around the early Qing Dynasty. He was still silently thinking about this gadget.

When it was time to find out how much silver it was worth, Cao Yong over there had already shouted: "Oh, boss, are you sincerely not planning to sell it, or what? Ten thousand yuan? What kind of ice jade material do you think this is for sale?

Already?".

"Ice material? Cut it."

The fat man sneered and said: "Brother, if this was ice material, I would sell it to you for ten thousand yuan? It's enough to give you a look."

This guy seems to be a veteran who has been hanging around in the antique market all year round. He teased Cao Yong, and then said mysteriously: "Brother, don't look down on the material of my Bashan jade, but the quality of my jade carving Pixiu."

The object is different from other mass merchandise, it has some origins."

"Is there an origin? What origin?".

Cao Yong looked at the fat man with suspicious eyes, took out the Hongtashan cigarettes he had just bought from his pocket, held one in his mouth, paused, and handed another one to the fat man opposite.

Although he knew in his heart that the fat man was definitely trying to deceive him, Cao Yong couldn't help but still be a little curious, and asked in a semi-ridiculous tone: "Brother, tell me, what's the origin? It can't be on the table of some long-lived master.

Gadget? If so, then your gadget is really valuable and I can’t afford it.”

"Haha, brother, don't be ridiculous. If there really was such a valuable thing, I would have gone out to enjoy the blessings in this big sun. Standing here setting up a stall, I am not crazy."

The fat man chuckled, moved a little closer to Cao Yong, and whispered: "Although my jade sculpture of Pixiu is not on the desk of Lord Long Live, it is an object that has been personally blessed by the famous Master Huichen in southern Yunnan."

"Is that so? Brother, don't you be fooling me?".

Cao Yong was shocked when he heard this. He knew that ninety-nine percent of the time, the fat man was deceiving him, but when he heard the eminent monk personally consecrating it, he still felt itchy and uncomfortable.

He has been outside for so many years and has been exposed to a lot of things from various religions. He knows that consecrating ordinary objects is relatively simple, but consecrating this Pixiu is a more troublesome matter. The only way to consecrate this Pixiu is to go to the temple.

Please ask a master to consecrate it, because the consecration of Pixiu is different from that of the God of Wealth, Kirin, etc. It is generally not easy to consecrate Pixiu. To consecrate the God of Wealth, you can just burn a talisman and recite a mantra. However, Pixiu must first chant sutras and pray to God, otherwise it will not be consecrated at all.

"Why are you fooling me? That's what I said."

The fat man curled his lips, rummaged around on the ground with great disdain, found a piece of paper, handed it to Cao Yong, and said proudly: "Well, brother, take a look for yourself, what's valuable about our jade carving Pixiu?"

Just go here, why am I fooling you? It’s genuine, fair, and authentic, a good item that has been opened.”

The fat man's dexterous mouth kept twisting and turning. Cao Yongte was too lazy to pay attention to this guy and reached out to take the piece of paper handed to him. This was a consecration certificate.

The so-called consecration certificate is actually a paper certificate issued by the temple to the consecrated items. The consecration certificate represents the type of consecration, and it also indicates that it is not a consecration by the temple, because the Buddha's Dharma body cannot be certified by paper, which devalues ​​the Buddha's Dharma body.

The consecration certificate represents a layman.

Nowadays, some commercial Feng Shui shops describe lay consecration as temple consecration to confuse believers. The real consecration certificate has the signature of the temple abbot, the temple's seal, the layman's signature, the layman's seal and other things.

And the fat man’s certificate of illumination actually looks genuine.

"Hey boss, do you really have this thing?".

Cao Yong looked at the piece of paper over and over in his hand, but his tone of voice was obviously suspicious. He knew the market. In southern Yunnan, it is easy to get a consecration certificate. As long as you spend

For a little money, you can even get an appraisal certificate issued by the National Jade and Antiques Association.

He had heard that many novices who had just started hunting for antiques invested a lot of money in the hands of unscrupulous traders because they saw the appraisal certificate. Afterwards, after expert appraisal, they realized that what they bought was a fake, and everyone screamed.

The one who was deceived was looking for death, so he didn't really believe in this piece of paper.

"Haha, brother, if you really don't believe it, then I have no choice."

The fat man heard the meaning of Cao Yong's words and reached out to take back the opening certificate. He held the cigarette in his mouth, took a puff, and said lazily: "Brother, I saw that you really wanted to buy my goods, so I gave it to you."

You see, if you are not sincere in buying it, then forget it. You have also seen my jade carving Pixiu, I am not bragging about it, there are many people who want it."

Cao Yong still felt uneasy and picked up the jade carving Pi Xiu and looked at it under the sun. Although he believed in his buddy's eyesight, after all, this was the first jade carving object he had set his sights on. Nowadays, there are many fake jade carvings.

, the sellers are considered to be conscientious if they are shoddy, and some simply use plastic products as fakes. The cost of thirty or fifty yuan has been doubled many times. After the owner who was deceived found out, he could only

Ability stares.

"I said, brother, don't look at it. It must be genuine. I, a fat guy, don't do business in this antique market for a day or two. After lying to you, I can run away."

The fat boss obviously knew why Cao Yong was looking at the jade carving Pixiu. Seeing that this guy didn't believe him, he muttered something dissatisfied.

Then, the fat man packed up his belongings slowly, but his eyes secretly glanced at Cao Yong from time to time. After a while, he said casually: "Have you thought about it? Brother, if you really want it, you can take out the money. It depends on you two.

He's also a big boss with a lot of money, so what are you doing with a few scraps of money like us, a street vendor, right?"

Cao Yong burst out laughing. How could he be a big boss with the same outfits as his brothers? It was a joke that a Montagnard T-shirt on this fat man cost as much as the clothes we two brothers wore. This fat man also

It's really deceiving

"Brother, can't you say that 10,000 yuan is just that much? You have to give us a little bit, right?"

Cao Yong licked his lips a few times and said with a smile: "How about I take the six thousand yuan? It will save you trouble."

"Six thousand? You might as well kill me."

The fat man shouted exaggeratedly: "Brother, your knife is too harsh? No, no, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Someone offered me 8,000 yuan a few days ago, but I didn't even blink. You still pay 6,000 yuan."

?”.

Ye Huan frowned and looked at the sky. The sunshine in Kunzhou was really uncomfortable for the other person. The fat man and Cao Yong were like brothers in need. They were both good talkers. If he didn't say anything,

, I don’t know when this business will be completed.

Shaking his head, Ye Huan said: "Boss, I think you should stop talking so much. You can also see that my buddy really likes this jade carving Pixiu. If you sincerely want to sell it, give a real price and if it is almost suitable, we will pay for it."

Bought it”.

"That's right, I like to hear what this brother talks about, it's refreshing."

The fat man chuckled, turned to Ye Huan and said: "Since you are so happy, brother, how about I give you a lower price, eight thousand and five thousand? That's the price. I won't sell it for a penny less."

"Eight thousand and five?".

Ye Huan murmured and made some calculations in his mind. Although this Bashan jade is not a good material, it is better because it is quite old, so it should not suffer a loss, so he simply said: "Deal, deal, boss, let's do it too

Don't waste so much time, the sun will almost bake the oil off your body."
