Chapter 28 Jade Carving Courtyard

Xi'an Suzaku Flower Market, also known as the Flower Market on the South Second Ring Road of Xi'an, is invested and constructed by Xi'an Everbright Property Management Co., Ltd. It is the largest professional flower market in Xi'an with the highest reputation and the most complete varieties. In July 2010, the market was upgraded and opened for business, with a business area of ​​about 7 square meters and more than 200 merchants.

Provincial and municipal Orchid Associations, Provincial and Municipal Kistler Associations, and Provincial and Municipal Ornamental Fish Associations have entered the market.

It takes less than half an hour to get there by bus No. 509.

There are more people here than Xiguang Flower Market. In addition to the main flowers, green plants, and aquarium areas, the newly added home living area and handicraft walking block make the market more complete.The operating varieties include more than a thousand kinds of flowers, orchids, green plants, bonsai, strange stones, crystals, jade, mahogany furniture, porcelain, root carvings, and high-end ornamental fish.

In fact, such markets can be found everywhere, even Beijing has places like Panjiayuan, let alone other places.Xi'an can be regarded as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties at any rate. With its cultural heritage there, it will naturally become a place like Panjiayuan.

The Suzaku Flower Market is nothing more than a combination of flowers, trees, antiques and other appreciation items, making it a larger and more comprehensive market.

If you look around, there are the most flowers, trees and bonsai, but there are also many stone products such as strange stones and rockery, as well as various handcrafts, and there is even a place specially opened for exhibitions and pets.

Not only is this place much larger than Xiguang Flower Market, but the goods are much more diverse, and the price also has an incomparable advantage over other flower markets.

Along the way, there are not a few precious and valuable flowers, and there are several flowers with a price tag of tens of thousands within a short distance.

Some bonsai are even more valuable, even worth hundreds of thousands.The more expensive the item, the more people will stop and watch before it. No matter whether you buy it or not, it is a kind of enjoyment for these flower lovers to take a look at the expensive and beautiful flowers.

Moreover, some people mark the price very high, not because they want to sell flowers, but just to show their own flowers. It is a great honor to get the approval and envy of the majority of colleagues for their favorite things matter.

There are also some people who deliberately speculate, and the price is very high. People who want to talk about the price want to lower the price, but the seller always laughs and doesn't say a word, just quietly waiting for the evaluation of the people in the past, and put the reputation first, and then they can wait for the price And sell.

In any case, as long as these flowers can be displayed, they always have their own special features, and they are worth the price. Generally speaking, there is no random asking price.

The most expensive bonsai is an orchid. I heard from the onlookers that it is a newly cultivated variety, and the price is 40.The money in Zhang Taiping's waist might not even be able to buy a single leaf. There were a lot of onlookers, plus he was not interested in orchids for the time being, so he didn't squeeze in to see what kind of flowers and colors they had.

Don't look at some medicinal materials that have just been sold for two dollars, but many flowers and bonsai here are unaffordable, just to see the excitement and feast your eyes.

Of course, there are many handicrafts that Zhang Taiping can stop and watch for a while.Many of the stone scenes are quite new.

In a stone craft shop, there is a treasure of the town shop.It is a piece of jade carved into a courtyard of an ancient rich and noble family based on the general shape of the jade and a little artificial chiseling.There are all kinds of pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, and the carvings are meticulous and true. Even the expressions on the faces of the ladies and maids who are chatting and laughing together under the pavilion are vivid, as if they have come to life.

The store thoughtfully poured a pool of water into the small garden as a pond in the yard, and planted a strange variety of small lotus flowers, which bloomed small white lotus flowers the size of coins, which added a lot of vitality to this jade handicraft.As if this was originally a shrunken real courtyard.

The courtyard is placed in the most conspicuous place of the stone shop, and it can be seen at the door of the shop before entering the shop.

Zhang Taiping was admiring the jasper cabbage outside the store.The milky white jade is carved into cabbage, and it is dotted with some green bugs that eat the cabbage.Cabbage's "dish" and "wealth" have the same pronunciation, not only the appearance is pleasing, but the meaning is even more beautiful.Basically, it is a must-have item at the entrance of every jade shop, which means to attract wealth and treasure.

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

Someone in the store happened to be looking at jade, seeing that the boss wanted to leave to greet him, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Boss, you are busy with your own work, I just came in to have a look." So the boss continued to be busy introducing the price to the customers, Zhang Taiping himself A person wandered around the store looking at the decorations in the store and the jade products on the shelves.

Taking a closer look at the jade courtyard, it is seventy or eighty centimeters square.In fact, the texture of such a large piece of jade is not a good and well-known jade.Zhang Taiping thinks about it too, if it is of good quality jade, such a large piece of weight alone is a treasure, and with such fine carvings, the price will be difficult to estimate, so it will not be placed here, I am afraid it will be a long time ago Woke up.At that time, I will try to hide it as much as possible, instead of placing it in a conspicuous place like it is now, lest others will not know.

Therefore, the main highlight of this piece lies in the craftsmanship of the carving, which can be described as ingenious, and it is not an exaggeration to turn decay into magic.If it is just such a piece of jade that is not so good in quality or even a bit rotten, it will not be worth much, and it will only cost ten to twenty thousand.But now, after the miraculous sculpting by some expert, the price has immediately increased dozens of times.

I remember that I once appraised a piece of chicken blood emerald in the Central Ten Treasure Appreciation Program.Jade's whole body was half a meter high, and her whole body was blood red, as if she had just been sprinkled with chicken blood.Similar to this one, that one regards the entire emerald as a mountain, and while circling upwards, it carves many scattered houses and pavilions on the places where there is no blood red on the emerald. , all the details are revealed.

It's just that the main material of that piece is expensive, and the good carver highlights the red color of the emerald. The final price is more than 800 million.

This piece cannot be compared with that chicken blood stone in terms of material, but it is better in terms of carving skills.Therefore, the main selling point of this piece is the ingenious thought of the carver and the carver.Zhang Taiping's preliminary estimate is around 60.

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

"Which piece do you like, sir? The shop is full of authentic Lantian jade."

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

"Just kidding, clothes don't necessarily judge a person's purchasing power. Now many people are very low-key and can't tell from their appearance."

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

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

Zhang Taiping smiled and did not speak.The boss explained the jade in the store.

"My store mainly sells Lantian jade, and of course there are other kinds of jade, but there are not too many. Lantian jade can be more complete."

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

When introducing Jade Courtyard, the boss obviously took on some proud tone.

"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 valuable in your shop?"

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

"Then is it for sale?"

"As long as the price is right, it can be sold. After all, we are a jade shop and a merchant, so there is nothing that cannot be sold. As for the significance, as long as you buy a good price, it is the best affirmation for the carver."

"What's the price tag?"

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

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

"The initial price is 120 million. If anyone is sincere, it can still be negotiated."

"Oh..." Zhang Taiping reckoned that the boss had inflated the price a lot, which was a wild asking price, so he didn't bother with this issue any more.asked another.

"Where can the little lotus in your middle come from?" This is the real purpose.

"This one is a relatively rare type of lotus. It is not common in other places, but it can still be found in this market. It is found on the stalls that specialize in selling strange seeds or small objects."

Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay here any longer without thinking about selling jade devices, so I chatted with the boss and left the jade shop.

After going out, he went straight to those small stalls selling strange and weird items, and it didn't take long for him to find a place that sold little lotus seeds.There are not only small lotus seeds on the stall, but also thousand-year-old lotus seeds. The boss strongly recommended it to Zhang Taiping, but Zhang Taiping only bought small lotus seeds.

Buying the little lotus seeds is just Junping's hobby. As for whether it is a thousand-year-old lotus seed or a hundred-year-old lotus seed, it has nothing to do with him, so he ignored it, bought the little lotus seed and left.

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

Zhang Taiping is extremely tall, standing behind can see what happened in the crowd.

It turned out that someone was selling a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus.Xi'an Suzaku Flower Market, also known as the Flower Market on the South Second Ring Road of Xi'an, is invested and constructed by Xi'an Everbright Property Management Co., Ltd.
