After confirming the authority of Zhang Taiping's words, the eyes of those who understand the market will be brightened.

There is a saying about boxwood: the king of birds is called the phoenix, and the king of trees is the boxwood. This shows how precious it is.

Boxwood is a shrub that does not grow in the soil, but grows on the rock walls shrouded in clouds and mist in thousands of meters high mountains. In this pollution-free environment, it uses rain and dew as nutrients and absorbs the essence of the spirit between heaven and earth for its own use.

, known as fairy wood in the mountains.

It grows very slowly, with an inch growing in a thousand years. It is extremely precious and is comparable to gold and jade. In some cases, boxwood of the same quality is even more valuable than gold of the same quality.

The growth environment and growth speed of boxwood determine that it cannot become a pillar material, and is only suitable for carving or making wooden comb engravings and other small objects for people to play with. It is tough in texture, has a fine texture, and has moderate hardness. It can be used after careful carving and polishing.

It is comparable to ivory carvings. As time goes by, the color changes from light to dark, becoming simple, beautiful, unique and very cute. Just like this wooden fish.

Another reason why boxwood is respected by people is that it has a light fragrance, which has the effect of sterilizing and stopping bleeding, and also repels mosquitoes and flies. Therefore, people believe that boxwood is immune to all evils and uses it to suppress evil and ward off evil.

Keep peace and good luck.

Zuo Shuai said with a smile from ear to ear: "I didn't expect it to be boxwood. Haha, you really have found a treasure."

Others also looked envious. Both of these items were extraordinary. If they were available to the right person, they would be worth a sky-high price. Even if they didn't buy them, they would still be valuable to their own collectors.

Tian Feng didn't know boxwood, but judging from the expressions on several people's faces, it should be a very precious and rare wood. Then these two items would be sold at a good price, so he asked curiously: "So this

What price can two items be sold for?”

Zhang Qianlong smiled and recounted: "If you meet someone who knows the goods, it won't be too much to sell a piece for hundreds of thousands."

Tian Feng's expression didn't change much after hearing this, but he was secretly stunned in his heart. Something he bought for three thousand yuan can be sold for hundreds of thousands. This is a hundred times the profit. No wonder some people are desperate to buy it.

It’s the best in the antiques, flowers and trees industry.

Zuo Shuai put away the two things and asked, "What did you bring?"

The four people showed what they had brought. Although Zhang Qianlong's lion paperweight was valuable, it had the least appeal to everyone because it was the most common. The fat man's jade pendant was played with by several people in turn. On the other hand, Yang Wanli's "Golden Dragon"

"Tangzhao" made a few people marvel. When they got Zhang Taiping's things, the other four were puzzled.

Not knowing which jar was which treasure, Zhao Qingsi first took a fancy to the rough stone and said to Zhang Taiping: "Sell this stone to me later, and the price will be the high price on the market."

Zhang Taiping made a helpless expression and said: "Well, I have already agreed to give it to Qianlong."

Zhang Qianlong smiled apologetically at Zhao Qingsi. Zhao Qingsi knew that Zhang Qianlong was traveling with him and felt a little pity, but he didn't take it to heart.

"What the hell are you doing, baby?" Zuo Shuai asked, pointing to the wine jar.

Zhang Taiping said: "A jar of wine."

"Wine?" After thinking about it, I felt that there must be something special about bringing it here, so I asked, "What's the speciality of this wine?"

Before Zhang Taiping could answer, the fat man smiled beside him and said: "This is ten years of fine wine. It is definitely the best wine. You will know the taste in a while. I guarantee that you will never forget it after drinking it." He said and took a sip.

Suck your tongue, it tastes delicious.

"Ten years of fine wine is indeed a great treasure. Do you plan to sell it?" Zuo Shuai continued to ask.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "This jar is not for sale, it is here for publicity."

Zuo Shuai nodded and stopped asking questions. Zhao Qingsi also opened a box. Inside was a jade letter seal. At the bottom were the four characters "Qingzhou Notice", but it was a county seal.

Zhao Qingsi introduced: "This is an ancient official seal bought at a high price from outside. Judging from the font and jade quality, it should be from before the Song Dynasty. As for the specific age, I haven't authenticated it yet. I just got it back and didn't have time.

"

Liu Fan and Tian Feng were both interested when they saw this official seal. The value of such a thing is only the few typings below, and the jade quality of the seal itself comes second. Imagine putting an ancient one in a modern official's home.

Official seal, let’s not talk about the superficial appearance, but there are some extraordinary meanings in it.

Seeing that Liu Fan meant that he was very interested in this official seal, Zhao Qingsi smiled and said: "Jingtian only brought it for people to appreciate and communicate with each other. I have no intention of taking action."

Liu Fan thought the same thing. Based on her family background, it would be more meaningful to keep this item at home rather than sell it, so she wisely did not even pay the price.

Finally, everyone focused their attention on Tian Feng. He said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know the rules here, and I was unprepared when I came here."

Zhang Qianlong smiled and said: "It's nothing. Many of the people sitting here don't bring anything to buy or see."

More people came to the house one after another, and finally there were nearly a hundred people in the house.

It was almost time, and a woman walked in. It was a red cheongsam from the auction at noon. She was not wearing a cheongsam at this moment, but a casual dress.

Yang Wanli said: "It seems that he will host the trade fair tonight."

Hosting this kind of private transaction is much simpler than the noon auction. The woman stood in the middle and clapped her hands and said, "Let's follow the old rules and start with Professor He now."

Seeing Zhang Taiping's doubts, Zhao Qingsi explained to him: "This old rule means that everyone here displays their things in order. If someone sees it, and the owner of the item is willing to take action, the two

People would go into the little room in the back and discuss the price among themselves, and the transaction would continue."

Zhang Taiping couldn't help but feel even weirder, and there was a trace of it on his face. This was all imitating the material exchange meeting in those fairy tales and cultivation novels, and it was also a small circle exchange meeting for the powerful people. I don't know who built this place.

Did people imitate the Xianxia cultivation novel, or did the author of the novel get inspiration from it.

Zhao Qingsi saw the strange look on his face and asked puzzledly: "Is there any problem?"

Zhang Taiping smiled and shook his head and said: "It's okay, I just remembered a scene described in the novel."

The person called Professor He was the old professor from the Department of Archeology of Northwest University who took the first tortoise shell at noon. He stood up and took out a palm-sized jade Buddha from his arms, but the jade was very rare black.

Black Jade Buddha!

This object immediately aroused everyone's interest. Taobao appraisers all voted for rare items. How could such a rare object not make people curious, and several people came forward to appreciate it and confirm the quality of this jade.

Then the three people followed the old professor into the small house in the back, obviously interested in this thing.

Next, not everyone will take out something. Basically, one out of three will take out something. The things here are not authenticated by the auction house, so there is no guarantee of authenticity. It is purely based on personal judgment.

Discrimination by eyesight.

The things that everyone took out were all kinds of things, and some people, like Yang Wanli and Zhao Qingsi, brought things just for display or to estimate the price, without any intention of selling them.

What surprised Zhang Taiping was that the items brought out by Huang Shanren and his group were really valuable.

Huang Shanren took out a jade pillow and introduced: "This is a piece of warm jade. If you put it under your head, it can soothe your mind and improve your eyesight. It has the effect of curing insomnia. It is most suitable for people who have poor sleep quality or are suffering from mental illness."

An old man of his age. I will take action directly, no counter-offer for 300,000 yuan!"

At that moment, a young man and two old men took a fancy to the jade pillow, and followed Huang Shanren into the small house in the back. The three of them entered at the same time and there was only one pillow, so there must have been some competition.

Zhang Taiping didn't know Huang Shanren well, and judging from the expressions of Liu Fan and Yang Wanli, they didn't recognize this group of people.

Zhang Taiping didn't want to inquire about the details of this group of people, but the quiet conversation between two people not far away caught his attention.

One person whispered to the person next to him: "Who is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

The person being asked lowered his voice and replied: "That person and the three next to him are in a group, and the four are..." He made a shovel-pounding motion with his hand.

The person who asked the question had a look of realization on his face, and Zhang Taiping also understood that he was a tomb robber. No wonder the smell of blood on his body was so strong, because the hands of people who do such things are inevitably unclean, or they may have evil intentions for profit, and they may be stained with blood.

Something that happens all the time.

Huang Shanrenzi personally went in and out quickly. The young man looked happy and was holding a box in his hand. It was obvious that he got something. Liang had a place to transfer money. He directly transferred the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.

clear.

When Huang Shanren came out, one of his companions was taking out a scroll of calligraphy and painting. After unfolding it, everyone who saw it was surprised, because the signature below was in four-character seal script. Before Zhang Taiping could see what it was, someone shouted loudly.

"Wang Xizhi!" I guess these four characters represent Wang Xizhi.

Zhang Taiping has no ability to identify calligraphy and painting, unless he encounters calligraphy and painting with aura on it, which can be sensed by holding it in his hand. If it is a calligraphy and painting without aura, he can only distinguish the authenticity of the handwriting and imitate it.

It is too easy to imitate handwriting or rubbing handwriting to achieve the effect of imitating the real thing, so even if his calligraphy is good and he can distinguish the fonts, he cannot distinguish the real calligraphy and painting.

Let's not talk about whether it is true or false, but it is already surprising. Some people who know the identities of these people have their eyes shining slightly, because they know that the calligraphy and painting must have come from underground, and the possibility of authenticity is not small.
