Xi'an Zhuque Flower Market, also known as Xi'an South Second Ring Flower Market, was invested and constructed by Xi'an Everbright Property Management Co., Ltd. It is the largest, most well-known and most complete professional flower market in Xi'an. In July 2010, the market upgrade was completed and opened. The business area

It covers an area of ​​about 10,000 square meters and houses more than 200 merchants.

Provincial and Municipal Orchid Associations, Provincial and Municipal Strange Stone Associations, and Provincial and Municipal Ornamental Fish Associations have settled in this market.

It takes less than half an hour to take bus 509.

There are more people here than Xiguang Flower Market. In addition to the main flowers, green plants, and aquarium areas, there are also new home living areas and handicraft pedestrian streets, making the market more complete. The business varieties include flowers, orchids, and green plants.

, bonsai, strange stones, crystals, jade, mahogany furniture, porcelain, root carvings, high-end ornamental fish and more than a thousand kinds.

In fact, markets like this can be found everywhere. Even Beijing has a place like Panjiayuan, let alone other places. Xi'an can be regarded as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties after all. The cultural heritage is displayed there, so it will naturally create a market like Panjiayuan.

place.

The Suzaku Flower Market just integrates flowers, trees, antiques, and other ornamental items into a larger and more comprehensive market.

If you take a look around, you will find the most flowers, trees and bonsais, but there are also many stone and stone products such as rockeries, and there is no shortage of various handmade crafts. There is also a specially developed area for exhibitions and pet buying and selling.

Not only is this place much larger than the Xiguang Flower Market, the goods are much more diverse, but the prices here are also unmatched by other flower markets.

Along the way, there were many rare and valuable flowers. Within a short distance, there were several flowers with prices in the tens of thousands.

Some bonsais are even more valuable, even hundreds of thousands. The higher the price tag, the more people will stop by to look at the items. Whether they want to buy them or not, just looking at expensive and beautiful flowers is a big deal for these flower lovers.

It's all a kind of enjoyment.

Moreover, some people mark the prices very high, not because they want to sell flowers, but just to show off their own collections. It is a great honor to have your favorite things recognized and envied by your peers.

things.

There are also people who are deliberately hyping up the goods and setting a very high price. Someone comes to bargain with them and wants to lower the price, but the seller always smiles and says nothing. He just waits quietly for the comments of people who pass by to build his reputation first, and then waits for a price.

And sell.

No matter what, as long as these flowers can be displayed, they always have their own special features and are worth the price. Generally speaking, the prices are not arbitrary.

The most expensive bonsai is an orchid. According to onlookers, it is a newly cultivated variety and the price is 400,000 yuan. Zhang Taiping may not even be able to buy a leaf with the money in his waist. There are many onlookers, and for the time being, it is not suitable for bonsai.

I wasn't interested in orchids, so I didn't squeeze in to see the specific flower shapes and colors.

Even though I just sold some medicinal materials for two bucks, there are many flowers and bonsais here that I can't afford. It's just a feast for the eyes to watch the excitement.

Of course, there are many handicrafts that can make Zhang Taiping stop and look at them for a while. Many of the stone scenes are quite innovative.

There is a stone crafts shop that displays a treasure that is the treasure of the store. It is based on the general shape of the jade and a little manual chiseling, and it is carved into a courtyard of an ancient wealthy family. There are pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard.

Everything is available, and the carvings are meticulous and realistic. Even the expressions on the faces of the ladies and maids clustered together under the pavilion, chatting and laughing, are vivid, as if they have come alive.

The store owner cleverly poured a pool of water into the small garden to serve as a pond in the yard, and planted a unique variety of small lotus flowers. Small white lotus flowers the size of coins bloomed, adding a lot of vitality to this jade handicraft. Just like this

It was originally a scaled-down version of a real courtyard.

The courtyard is placed in the most conspicuous place of the stone shop. You can see it when you stand at the door of the store before entering the store.

Zhang Taiping was admiring the jasper cabbage placed at the door outside the store. The milky white jade is carved into the cabbage, and it is dotted with some green bugs that eat the cabbage. The word "cai" in cabbage has the same pronunciation as "cai", and it looks very pleasant.

, the meaning is even more beautiful. It is basically a must-have item at the entrance of every jade shop, with the meaning of attracting wealth.

Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I saw the jade-carved courtyard, so I walked into the store out of curiosity.

Someone happened to be looking at jade in the store. Seeing that the boss wanted to leave and greet him, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Boss, you are busy with your own business. I just came in to take a look." So the boss continued to introduce the customers to the price, and Zhang Taiping himself

A man was walking around the store looking at the furnishings and jade items on the shelves.

After carefully looking at the jade courtyard, I saw that it was seventy or eighty centimeters square. In fact, the texture of such a large piece of jade is not a good and famous jade. Zhang Taiping thought about it, if it is good quality jade, the weight of such a large piece is...

The price of a piece of treasure, coupled with such fine carvings, is hard to estimate, so it won't be displayed here. I'm afraid it has been collected a long time ago. Then it will be hidden as much as possible, instead of being displayed like it is now.

In a conspicuous place, as if others don't know.

Therefore, the main highlight of this piece is the carving craftsmanship, which can be described as ingenious. It is not an exaggeration to turn decay into magic. If it is just such a piece of jade that is not of good quality or even a little bit rotten, it will not be worth much.

The money was only ten thousand or twenty thousand. But now, through the magical carvings of some expert, the price immediately increased dozens of times.

I remember that I once appraised a piece of chicken blood jade in a treasure appraisal program of the 10th Central Committee. The jadeite was about half a meter tall and red with blood, as if it had just been sprinkled with chicken blood. Similar to this piece, that piece was made of chicken blood.

The entire jadeite is like a mountain at first glance. As it spirals upward, many well-proportioned houses and pavilions are carved out on the areas where there is no blood red color on the jadeite. The carvings are equally exquisite and magical, with cornices hanging from corners and every detail showing.

It's just that the main material of the piece is expensive, and the good carving highlights the red color of the jadeite, so it was finally priced at more than 18 million.

This piece cannot be compared with that piece of chicken blood stone in terms of material, but it is superior in terms of carving skills. So the main thing that sells this piece is the carver and the ingenuity of the carver. Zhang Taiping initially estimated that he was in his sixties

About 10,000.

After a while, the boss finished his work and came over to entertain Zhang Taiping with a smile. Judging from the smile on his face, the last customer must have made him a lot of money.

"Which piece do you like sir? All of them in the store are authentic Lantian jade."

Zhang Taiping shook his head, shrugged and said, "Do you think I am someone who can afford jade?"

"Just kidding, clothing and other things may not necessarily judge a person's purchasing power. Nowadays, many people are very low-key and can't tell from their appearance."

"I really don't have the purchasing power now."

The boss still smiled and said: "If you can't sell it now, it means you can sell it in the future, right? It's good to look at it now. If you want to buy it in the future, you can come and buy it at any time."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said nothing. The boss explained the jade in the store.

"My shop mainly sells blue field jade. Of course there are other types of jade, but not too many. Blue field jade is more complete."

As a native of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, Zhang Taiping has heard of Lantian Jade. After all, he is also a person who has experienced the tough college entrance examination. He still remembers some poems. Li Shangyin has a famous saying "Lantian Sun warms the jade and creates smoke" which has been passed down through the ages.

.

When introduced to the Jade Courtyard, the boss obviously sounded proud.

"This piece was carved by my grandfather himself, and it has been passed down to me as a family heirloom."

Zhang Taiping asked curiously: "Is this the most expensive thing in your store?"

"That's not true. I have jade that is better than this one, but the reason why this piece is a treasure is because it was carved by my grandfather, so it has some commemorative value."

"Then will it sell?"

"As long as the price is right, it can be sold. After all, we are a jade shop and a businessman, so there is nothing we can't sell. As for the meaning, as long as you buy it at a good price, it is the best recognition for the carver."

"What's the price tag?"

"Brother, are you interested in this?" the jade shop owner asked in surprise.

"I really like it, but I can't afford it now. I just want to understand it." Zhang Taiping replied.

"The initial price is 1.2 million. If anyone is sincere, we can still discuss it."

"Oh." Zhang Taiping estimated that the boss had exaggerated the price a lot, so he didn't bother with this issue anymore. He asked in addition.

"Where did the little lotus flower in the middle come from?" This is the real purpose.

"This is a relatively rare species of lotus. It is not common in other places, but you can still find it in this market. You can find it at those stalls that specialize in selling strange seeds or small items."

Now that the goal was achieved and there was no need to sell any jade items, there was no need to stay here anymore, so I chatted with the boss for a few words and left the jade and stone shop.

After going out, he went straight to the small stalls selling strange and strange items. It didn't take long for him to find a place selling lotus seeds. Not only did the stalls have lotus seeds, there were also thousand-year-old lotus seeds. The boss strongly recommended them to Zhang Taiping.

But Zhang Taiping only bought small lotus seeds.

Buying small lotus seeds was just a hobby for Junpei. As for whether thousand-year-old lotus seeds or century-old lotus seeds were not relevant to him, he ignored them, bought the small lotus seeds and left.

After walking a few steps, I saw a group of people gathered together, pointing and talking in the circle.

Zhang Taiping is so tall that he can see what is happening in the crowd from behind.

It turned out that someone was selling a pot of osmanthus.
