Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Uncle Ming complained: "Are you mistaken? What kind of elixir have you, uncle, I, and these three friends never seen? These rotten young men are not in our eyes at all. Do you have anything decent here? No. If so, don’t waste our time.”

He said in embarrassment: "There are indeed good things on the island of Coral Temple, but you have to try your luck. It's unlucky for you to come here. A few days ago, a group of French people found a Ming Dynasty treasure ship in the trench. It was very well preserved. , the green heads inside are all as good as new. When the people behind hear the news and rush, the frame of the treasure ship is left. I have the last box here, and I put the green heads at the bottom of the box. I will only accept it when I meet an expert. Take it out and let some brothers take notice..."

As he spoke, Bai Wu limped out and dragged out another old wooden box. The box gave off a fishy smell. He opened the wooden cover and found several layers of dirty soft cloth inside. When he opened it, After peeling it apart layer by layer, Da Jinya and the others looked into the wooden box casually, but it didn't matter. It felt like our bodies were suddenly shocked by electricity, and our eyes seemed to be firmly attracted by these green heads. I was stunned and couldn't take my eyes away anymore. Except for the fat man, Uncle Ming, Da Jinya and I all stood up and couldn't wait to ask Nai Wu: "Where did you get these green heads from?" Coming?"

The wooden box that "Bai Wu" took out at the end was filled with a bunch of strange-shaped ancient jades. Some were shaped like porcelain shards, some were shaped like dead bones, and some were shaped like animal horns and teeth. Not only were their shapes weird and strange, these The color of ancient jade is even more mottled and bizarre. Because it is a green product that has been eroded by the natural environment in the sea, it is mostly dark gray, but some parts are particularly old and have a color like ginger or... The color is like rotten sauce, and there are also spots as bright as red dates.

The big gold tooth is the most exquisite way of jade. When I saw this box of green heads, the gold tooth in the mouth and the eyes suddenly shined together. Of all the thousand-year-old jade found in the sea, there is often no one that is perfect. The ancients said there were three taboos in hiding jade. Avoid oil, dirt, and fishy smell. Greasy things will block the fine pores of jade, making the jade no longer crystal clear and moist, and losing the green light of chalcedony. Ancient jade in the sea has been immersed for a long time, and the fishy liquid and sea smell in the seawater The salt brine and other ingredients contained in the jade are blocked by the dirt and dirt, so most of the jade is damaged.

Uncle Ming is also a person who knows things, but his knowledge is based on the authenticity of the objects. Seeing that these green-headed jades are all simple and rare, and they must be of a very old age, he discussed with Da Jinya in a low voice that this box How valuable can green-headed goods be?

The big gold tooth chewed the flower seeds and said: "I am afraid these green heads have been on the seabed for thousands of years. They are definitely not things from shipwrecks on the sea. Some are semi-exposed, some are not exposed, and some are slightly exposed. Preserve The degree is very different, but the shape and shape are all ancient relics from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It is really puzzling to see these real things on this isolated island in the sea. You see, there is a glass-like light in some places. It is really all kinds of, but the ancient jade is In this way, the older they get, the weirder they become. How can secular people understand the mystery? According to me, these things are valuable if they say they are valuable, and they are not valuable if they are not. Whether they are valuable or not depends on how you say it."

Big Jinya, Fatty, and Uncle Ming were muttering about how to bargain with "Bai Wu", but I watched the jade in the box come out of the box. In the "Xianwang Tomb" in Yunnan, I have seen countless rare treasures. Naturally, there are many jades from the Qin and Han Dynasties, but this box of green-headed goods that came out of the sea surprised me. They were all ancient jades from the Yin and Shang dynasties, and their shapes were extremely rare, especially the jade figure of a woman. The head portrait has lifelike eyebrows, a fishbone crown on its head, a slender neck, and dense scale patterns. Since there is only a head portrait and no trace below the neck, it is impossible to tell whether it was originally a human head with a snake body, or some other unusual shape. The jade head is something we have never seen before in our lives, and we have never even heard of such a thing.

It is easy to distinguish the authenticity of these strange ancient jades. Since the Song Dynasty, some people have used jade retting with chicken blood to fake corpse blood soaking, and some have fried it in oil pans and soaked in latrines, but those who know how to handle it will warm their hands. Then we can distinguish the authenticity. After a little identification, we know that the green heads in the hands of "Baiwu" are indeed ancient relics. Could this woman's jade head be the ancient relics of the Kingdom of Hatred mentioned by Professor Chen? It seems that this coral spiral sea area is really not simple. I immediately asked the tavern owner "Baiwu" where did these green heads come from?

Xie Wu said: "Brothers, you are all people who know how to trade, and I dare not deceive you. To tell you the truth, a few months ago there was a tsunami, and the body of a giant beast floated out of the sea. It died after the water receded. On the beach, due to the hot weather, it rotted quickly. No one could tell what kind of sea beast this thing was. However, judging from the size, it was two sizes larger than a humpback whale. It was probably some kind of monster in the deep sea. This is rare. There is the wreckage of a small boat in the belly of the big sea beast, and there are these green heads in the ship's cabin. So does it smell a bit stinky to you? I can't get rid of it no matter what I do. I think it may be an unlucky guy who fished for green heads. I encountered a shipwreck and was swept into the bottom of the sea, and was swallowed by that thing. Later, I collected the box of goods from the fishermen."

The dealer believed that the rare items were worth living, so he naturally raised the price very high. There were indeed a large number of ancient ruins in the coral forest on the seabed, but there were not many that could be found. Even though the jade was damaged and the quality was not good after being soaked in the sea for a long time, the price was still high. The year is displayed there. This kind of green head is only seen once every few decades. There are many people who want to buy it.

I was dubious about "Bai Wu"'s words. Who knows whether he got the green head from the belly of the sea monster or the black goods that the pirates robbed and sold as stolen goods. But these are not important. The key is that we are interested in this In order to batch the goods, in case the King of Qin's bone mirror cannot be found, it would be an explanation to pick out a few ancient jades from the Kingdom of Hatred and give them to Professor Chen.

At this time, Da Jinya and others had also finished discussing in private. I suggested Da Jinya to bargain with "Bai Wu". Da Jin Ya immediately grinned at "Bai Wu" and said, "I said Lord Wu, don't look at you. They specialize in picking up green heads, but you may not know the way of jade. To be honest, these green heads of yours are really hot to handle."

Whether you are a newbie in trading or a well-versed trader, if the buyer and seller deal with each other with knowledge, it will be very different from the ordinary buying and selling. First, the future is long, and you cannot make a one-time deal with your peers in this industry. Second, The antiques industry is an industry that requires vision, courage and financial resources. Without sufficient knowledge, buyers and sellers negotiate prices and do not argue over every detail, but rather convince people with reason. If you say your things are valuable or not, then you You have to say something convincing, so antiques are also called antiques. They cannot be rough and rough like buying and selling animals. Once the antiques are sold, the buyers and sellers will gain more insights and become peers. The main point of inter-trading is to improve one's own level. In this case, price is secondary, because some knowledge cannot be bought with money. (To be continued. If you want to know what happened, please log in. There are more chapters.
