Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

The quality of the antique weapons in Binggexuan is very disappointing, and I don’t know where the boss collected them. Especially those waist knives and chopping knives, the surface oxidation is relatively serious. Although someone has specially treated them, the original blade quality cannot be restored.

"Brother, is there anything that can catch your eye?" Niu Sanpang asked in a low voice.

"Any one of the antique weapons in my museum is worth more than the total value of everything here combined."

Li Mo was very disappointed and his trip was in vain.

At this time, a woman in her sixties pushed open the door and walked in. She was holding a rectangular wooden box in both hands. The wooden box looked old, with a thick layer of patina on the surface. The old woman was very plainly dressed. After entering the door, she walked to the counter and asked, "Can we collect antique weapons here?"

The female clerk in her twenties hurriedly said: "I'll take a look at it first, okay?"

"Can."

The old woman put the wooden box gently on the counter, then opened the lid, and saw a short knife covered in black lying quietly on the bright yellow cushion.

"What kind of antique weapon is this?"

The clerk put on gloves, took out the dagger from the wooden box and took a closer look. Then he pulled out the dagger. There was a layer of black oxide material from the inside to the outside. This dagger did have a history, but it was of little value.

"Little girl, how much do you think this short knife is worth?"

The old lady asked eagerly.

"This short knife is very ordinary and has no value. Our store will not accept it." The clerk put the knife back into the box and refused to buy it.

There was a look of disappointment on the old lady's face.

Li Mo and the others just came out. He glanced at it and stopped. Then he walked to the old lady and asked, "Can I see this knife?"

The old lady was about to leave when she saw a young man who wanted to take a look. She nodded hurriedly, but didn't have much hope.

Li Mo took out the knife and felt heavy in his hand. The handle of the knife clearly has Mongolian characteristics, and the tip of the knife is slightly curved. Judging from the appearance of the short knife, it should be from the Mongolian people.

What surprised him was that there were carvings on the handle and scabbard of the knife, and the shapes of several gemstones were carved into it. The entire blade and the gemstones formed one body. It was obvious that the gemstones were not inlaid.

Li Mo touched the blade with his fingertips. It was obviously made of silver and had been oxidized for hundreds of years to form such a patina. But if it is made of silver, the weight will not be so heavy. In other words, the surface of the original short knife is wrapped with a layer of silver. This kind of craftsmanship that is neither gorgeous nor useful is simply useless. Who would be so boring to do this? What about.

As soon as the strange pupils opened, a halo of orange and blue light suddenly shot out from the black short sword, and then spread out into circles of light.

Under his perspective, this was no longer an ordinary short knife. It was actually a golden knife. The handle was wrapped with gold wire and the top of the handle was inlaid with rubies. There are two ethnic minority characters on the blade, which Li Mo doesn't recognize. He will ask the locals later. The scabbard is inlaid with more gems, including rubies and sapphires. The surface of the scabbard is also engraved with a wolf howling toward the sky.

This golden sword is definitely not simple. It must have a great background. After all, only the royal family in the Yuan Dynasty could own such a gorgeous golden sword.

"Sir, do you want to buy this antique dagger?"

The old lady asked in a weak voice.

Li Mo came back to his senses and turned to look at her with a smile: "Auntie, how much do you want to sell this knife for?"

A hint of surprise suddenly appeared on the old lady's face. She hesitated and then slowly raised three fingers. She stared at Li Mo and whispered: "Thirty thousand."

"Thirty thousand?" Before Li Mo said anything, Niu Sanpang said in surprise, "This does not look like an antique short knife. How dare you sell it for thirty thousand? I think it is worth three thousand at most."

Li Mo glared at him, and Niu Sanpang realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Three thousand is too little, at least thirty thousand. The old man in the family is still waiting for this money to save his life." The old woman was a little anxious, with tears rolling down her cheeks. "This is the dowry given by my mother-in-law when I got married when I was young. It is worth dozens of dollars." I have been keeping it for many years, and if I had not been desperate, I would not have taken out the family heirloom and sold it."

Li Mo quickly comforted her and said, "Auntie, this short sword is not simple. Let alone 30,000 yuan, even 300,000 yuan, 3 million yuan or more may not be able to buy it."

ah. . .

The old woman was stunned immediately, and even the people around them focused their attention on them. What kind of treasure can't even be bought for three million?

Then use a black knife? How many millions is that knife worth?

"No, no, I don't need that much money, just give me thirty thousand."

The old woman thought that the young man in front of her was being sarcastic. She ran to more than a dozen antique stores, but none of the store owners was willing to accept it. The young man said that the knife was very valuable, which made her heart drop instantly.

"Brother, this knife?"

Niu Sanpang couldn't understand it anymore. He thought Li Mo wanted to help the old woman.

Li Mo thought for a moment and said: "Auntie, I will first transfer 300,000 yuan to you for urgent needs. After the appraisal of this dagger is completed, I will arrange for someone to contact you to see how the money can be compensated to you. Do you think this will work? "

The old woman's mouth was so wide open, this. . This is not irony. . This young man. . .

Li Mo took out his mobile phone, asked the old woman to give him a card number, and then dialed 300,000 yuan in front of everyone. It was only when the old woman received a bank text message on her mobile phone that she realized that all this was true.

"Thank you, thank you young man, I will kneel down and kowtow to you." The old woman burst into tears with excitement and was about to kneel down, but Li Mo stopped her.

"Auntie, give me a number, and I will leave a number for you. The results will definitely come out in three days at most. Don't worry, if this short knife is really worthless, you don't have to return it to me for the 300,000 yuan just now. If it's worth far more It's much more than 300,000, I'll have someone contact you and give you the balance."

The old woman no longer knew what to say. She nodded with tears and told Li Mo her phone number. She shaved her head and left her own number with the old woman.

"Auntie, if you have any difficulties that you can't solve, just call this phone in time and I will help you."

The old woman hurriedly walked out of Binggexuan with many thanks. With this huge sum of money, the old man in her family was saved and could continue to be hospitalized for procedures.

As soon as the old woman left, the clerks in Binggexuan looked at Li Mo with fiery eyes. This ordinary-looking short knife could be sold for 300,000 yuan, and the antique weapons in the store were even more valuable. But Li Mo didn't give them a chance to open their mouths. He put the dagger into the box and said, "There's nothing to see here. Let's go."

After leaving Binggexuan, Niu Sanpang hurriedly asked: "Brother, what is so special about that knife just now? Is it really worth millions?"

"I'm afraid even millions may not be able to buy it. I'll reveal the secret to you when we get back to the hotel."

So it’s worth over ten million!

Niu Sanpang kept scanning the box in Li Mo's hand. He really wanted to take it over immediately and take a closer look at what the secrets were.

The next few people continued to browse the street stalls outside, and Li Mo also made four purchases one after another. The most expensive one cost 800 yuan.

"It's a great harvest, and the results this morning are outstanding." Niu Sanpang was very happy, as if he could pick up the mistakes all by himself, "Brother, if these things change hands, how much can they sell for?"

"It's not too valuable. If you resell it, it can probably be sold for seven to eight hundred thousand. If you find one you like, you can probably sell it for around one million."

"Okay, okay, I'm not greedy."

Just as he was about to finish browsing the stalls outside, Li Mo paused again and stopped in front of a stall with porcelain. There are quite a lot of types of porcelain on the stalls, ranging from large pedestal vases to as small as a wine cup, blue and white, pastel, underglaze red, jade red, and even cloisonné. Although they look quite exquisite, they are almost all modern handicrafts. . . No, one of them is interesting. . .

Li Mo squatted down, pointed at a flat pot on the ground, and said to the boss, "Can I see that porcelain?"

The boss was a tall and thin middle-aged man. He glanced at Li Mo and said, "Take it yourself, be careful not to damage it."

Li Mo smiled and reached out to pick up the flat pot on the stall. It was the color of azure glaze and had animal-shaped ears. There were two characters written in block letters on both sides of the pot. One was 'Everything', and the other was 'Ruyi'. Together, everything goes well.

The front of the flat pot is painted with peonies. This pattern is different from the previous dynasties.

Turn it over and look at the bottom of the flat pot. There are four characters in red in block letters that read "Hongxian Year System".

"Boss, how much does this flat pot cost?"

The boss was haggling with others. He looked at it and said casually: "Thirty-eight thousand."

Li Mo chuckled, and then handed it to Niu Sanpang: "Look at this porcelain. It's quite interesting. How much do you think it's worth?"

Niu Sanpang took the flat pot and looked through it for a while, then he murmured in his mind, whose reign name was this Hongxian year system? Either this was made-up porcelain, or it was a very unpopular year name. Now that Li Mo has been handed over to him, it means that this porcelain has a certain value, but he is just ignorant.

However, he pretended that he couldn't help but laugh, and then said to the boss: "Boss, can you tell us what this porcelain is about? You should know a lot about it since you asked for 38,000 yuan."

"I am the boss, and I have the final say on how to price. You are the buyer, and you have the final say on how to bargain."

Hey, this boss is a bit interesting. He clearly states the bargaining price. It's almost like I dare to make a price, so you can bargain too. Maybe I can accept the price you pay.

Niu Sanpang thought the boss was interesting, and then said casually: "I will take away the three hundred and eighty, buy them back and put them next to the fish pond in the yard to put fish food."

The boss turned to look at the casual Niu Sanpang, then nodded and said: "Deal."

Even the second bargaining was given up, and the deal was settled at 380.

Niu Sanpang handed him the cash, then happily held the porcelain and left. After leaving the street stall square, he asked: "Brother, what dynasty is this porcelain from? Why haven't I heard of this year name?"

"There are indeed very few porcelains of this type on the market, and this is the first time I have encountered it. This flat pot has the flavor of the Republic of China in terms of its porcelain body, glaze, and glaze painting. The year of Hongxian was 1916 In the year of the Republic of China, which is equivalent to the fifth year of the Republic of China, when Yuan Shikai became emperor, he fired a batch of porcelain made in Hongxian year, Huairentang and other styles. However, his time as emperor was too short, and very few such porcelains have been preserved, so The appearance of such a piece of porcelain is of great significance."

"Even if Yuan Shikai was emperor for a short time, he was still an emperor. This kind of porcelain is quite meaningful. And I have never seen this kind of porcelain. Maybe it is an orphan so far. It must be very valuable. ."

Niu San is hugged to his chest like a treasure. Antique porcelain itself is very popular in the auction market. Although this flat pot made in Hongxian year is only more than a hundred years old, it is itself famous because of its relationship with the short-lived emperor Yuan Shikai. The value has increased a lot, and because it may still be an orphan, it's hard to say if it will actually reach an auction price.

"Three Fatties, don't think twice about putting this piece of porcelain up for auction. I want to keep it in the museum. It will also be a very rare antique porcelain in the future."

"Yes, I know." Niu Sanpang nodded, and he had already made a plan in his mind. Even if it cannot be auctioned, he can print it on a leaflet when the time comes, so that more collectors can raise the price, and he can also Be aware of it.

Seeing more and more tourists pouring in, Li Mo felt that it was pointless to continue shopping. He was holding a box in his arms, San Pang was holding a piece of porcelain, and there were several antiques and miscellaneous items in the shaving bag. But you can't be touched by others, otherwise you won't even have a place to cry.

"Boss, should we go to other shops to check out?"

"There are too many people, so let's go back first. We have to explore the vast land in front of Palm Peak in the afternoon. Business is more important. I'll come back here when I have the chance. I estimate that in the next two days, people's curiosity will be gone, and the passenger flow here will be reduced. It’s going to be a lot rarer.”

"Okay." Sha Tou secretly informed the security behind him, and everyone finally squeezed out. The third fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead and gasped, "It made me very nervous all the way, for fear that someone would bump into me."

"You're just too weak to squeeze through others."

Niu Sanpang had a grimace on his face. When did this brother become so talkative? He really suspected that he was physically weak.

When I returned to the hotel, I happened to see the Tori experts and the others sitting boredly in the leisure hall on the first floor, drinking tea and chatting. Seeing Li Mo and the others coming back, Tori hurriedly waved.

"Expert Tori, come to the room with me and show everyone a rare treasure."

Tori asked in surprise: "Are you coming back from the jade trading market?" As he asked, he had already stood up. Even Li Mo said it was rare, which meant that the treasure he found was really rare.

Everyone walked into the elevator, and Tori couldn't wait to ask: "Academician Li, please reveal it first."

"It's a golden knife."
