My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 235 The Millennium Stone
On this day, the National Day Golden Week has come to an end, and some tourists are starting to return home.

But there were also some tourists who just arrived, which made Fang Xing a little confused, their vacation arrangements were so strange, they only started when others finished.

Among them was a couple who went straight to Fang Xing's house.

"Do an appraisal?" Fang Xing was a little surprised.

"Yes! I picked this up in the river when I was a child, please help me to see it!" the young man begged.

Fang Xing nodded, and took the box from the young man.

While opening the box, he asked: "Brother, where are you from? Are you studying or working? Relax, you should have watched my live broadcast, right? You should know that I am a relatively casual person."

Seeing their constrained expressions, Fang Xing deliberately chatted to reduce their sense of restraint.

They were slightly relieved when they heard Fang Xing's words.

In fact, when they came here just now, they were a little worried that Fang Xing would ignore them, it would be embarrassing.

The girl smiled and said, "Brother Fang, my boyfriend and I are both from Henan. We just graduated and haven't started working yet! We..."

Once a girl starts talking, she can't stop.

"Then why didn't you come earlier?" Fang Xing asked.

"There are too many people! We deliberately staggered some, and came here to catch the tail of the National Day holiday. Not only can we stagger the peak period, find a place to live, but also feel the atmosphere of the last day or two of National Day." The girl said with a smile. .

Fang Xing opened the box and found five pieces of white jade inside, like shells, with words engraved on the surface.

"Boss, is this jade worth much?" the young man asked nervously.

This is the treasure he has treasured for more than ten years!He always believes that this is a treasure, so it is well preserved, and there is another one that he wears around his neck.

Liu Shijun came over and took a look: "This is a shell coin."

"Shell coin? But it's not a real shell." The young man was taken aback.

He has heard of shell coins, but in his impression, shell coins are currency made of shells, and it seems to be the oldest currency.

"Haha! Don't you know? There are many kinds of shell coins. The most common ones are made of natural shells as you imagined.

But in addition, there are jade shells, bone shells, stone shells, copper shells and so on.These, also known as imitation shell coins. "Liu Shijun explained a few words.

Seashells are colorful, clean, portable, durable, and countable. When humans entered the primitive society of fishing, hunting, gathering, and farming, they were only passed down as ornaments.

Entering the slave society of the Xia Dynasty, merchants and tribes in the south began to exchange goods, and the number of seashells increased, and their application range changed from single to multiple.Due to the continuous appearance of commodities, seashells began to have the qualifications to act as a medium for commodity exchange.

From the mid-to-late Shang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, due to many factors such as population increase, agricultural progress, handicraft industry development, and frequent business exchanges, the demand for shellfish soared, and imitation shellfish such as stone, bone, clam, and pottery appeared.Its value is the same as that of a small seashell.The value of a sea shell or imitation shell is slightly lower, while the pearl and jade shell is called a coin, which is expensive.

"Imitation shell coin? Is it still worth money?" The young man's heart was half cold.

Fang Xing suddenly smiled and said: "It depends on what kind of imitation is used, like this, jade-imitated shell coins belonged to the top coins at that time, that is, the best kind.

I think yours should be shell coins from the Warring States period, and they still have value.But you also have to be mentally prepared. Shell coins are relatively weak in the ancient coin market, and the price is not very high. "

In addition, Fang Xing also told them that because these jade shell coins have characters, some of them look like ants crawling their noses and others look like ghost faces, so they are commonly called "ant nose money" or "ghost face money".

"This is Chu's mantra shell coin, and one piece is about [-] yuan." Liu Shijun still knows the market.

In fact, there are two types of shell coins in Chu State's own characters: "turbulent" and "mantra".

After the shape of "turbulent", the top of the money body is pointed and the bottom is round, the face is convex, and the back is flat. After the word "curse", the body of the money is the same as that of ant nose money. The word "mantra" seems to be a ghost face, so it is called "ghost face money" by later generations.

5000 yuan?

The young man thought to himself, including the one he was wearing, there are six pieces in total, wouldn't it be about 9 yuan?

This price is slightly higher than his psychological price.

The young man also took off the one on his neck and said, "I have another one here, do you want to take it?"

Fang Xing didn't say a word, he had so many treasures that he had to sell, so he wasn't interested in buying, unless it was very special.

Liu Shijun was more casual, picked up one, looked at it for a while, and said, "Six, I'll give you one hundred thousand, how about it?"

The two couples looked at each other with joy on their faces: "Okay, thank you Brother Liu."

"Yo! Know me too?"

"Brother Liu, you are the number one local tyrant around the boss, can you not recognize me?" The young man smiled.

The two of them are planning to open a small shop or something, and the family can give one hundred and eighty thousand, which is not enough.If you add the [-], it's almost the same.

Liu Shijun laughed when he heard this, and the two parties quickly completed the transaction.

Fang Xing looked at the girl and asked, "Do you know that your bracelet is also valuable?"

what?
The girl and her boyfriend looked surprised.

"Is it worth it? I bought it at a street stall for 20 yuan." The girl confessed.

After speaking, take it off.

"Let me see." Liu Shijun took it.

But he looked at it for a while: "What kind of gemstone is this? It's not like emerald."

To be honest, he doesn't know much about gemstones, but he can recognize the more popular ones like emeralds.

Everyone looked at Fang Xing.

"This is Shujulai. To be precise, it is a multi-element ore known as the Millennium Stone." Fang Xing explained slightly.

As a new gem material in the jewelry market, its gem mineralogy is still blank in the field of research. Through routine testing of gemstones, it can be seen that Suji stone samples are aggregate jade, mostly blue, purple and brown, with a fine structure.

"The one you are wearing is the cherry blossom species Shukura, which belongs to the top-level Shukura gemstones, and the price is not bad."

The top cherry blossom species, Shujulai, is all pink with uneven white patterns. It is also the cherry blossom species with the highest gram price at present. Most of them are finished products from the early villages, and there are no new mines.

"It turned out to be Shu Julai, but I've heard of it. The good cherry blossom species Shu Julai, I heard that one gram can cost tens of thousands of yuan." After speaking, Liu Shijun returned the bracelet to the other party.

When the young couple heard this, they quickly took it back and carefully tried to rub it a few times.

One gram costs tens of thousands of dollars, so the bracelet must weigh twenty or thirty grams, right?Worth 30 million?
If Fang Xing hadn't reminded them, they might have ignored it in the future. After all, it was bought at a street stall for 20 yuan, so how much attention should it be?
