The Book of Appreciation

The proprietress of this crystal maker is very familiar with Xiaoru, so what she gave them were genuine products, the magical gourd carved with blond crystal like hair, the light pattern with imitation silk, and the yellow-brown cat's eye. The tiger eye stone bead string, and the green ghost agate, as if there are aquatic agate like water plants growing inside... Each piece, each piece, is so magical and beautiful that the two women can't help but be obsessed with it.

Of course, the most attractive thing about the crystal stone is that it is obviously much cheaper than other gemstones, which allows the two of them to buy freely with peace of mind.The most expensive ones are less than 10,000 yuan, and they are so colorful, how long will it be better not to buy more?As a result, when Doraemon secretly went to checkout, he discovered that [-]+ had been thrown out in just a short while!

this!This is clearly what shopping and supermarkets do!It's a jump price again, and it's a big discount, which makes you look cheap, and you buy a lot of useful and useless things, but in the end you spend all of them!

Seeing that Wu Di was still enjoying an agate cup after paying the money, the proprietress couldn't help laughing and said:

"These are all made by machines. It's not uncommon. We still have an agate cup handed down from our ancestors hidden in our house. It's something from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. That's beautiful!"

When she saw Wu Di spend 10,000+ without blinking, she thought of her antique agate cup. Some people said it was worth 100 million, but others said it was worthless, but it was true. She is very beautiful, how about asking him to try?

"Oh, during the Qianlong period? Take it out and have a look."

What the proprietress took out was an agate single-ear cup, about 7 cm high, 9 cm in diameter, and engraved with the four-character official script "Qianlong Year System" on the bottom.

This agate cup is made of flower agate, with yellow-brown markings in the off-white agate.The vessel is irregularly round, with a chilong carved on one side as the handle of the cup. The Chilong’s forelimbs and mouth rest on the rim of the cup, and the lower limbs and tail are connected with the peach blossom branches and leaves carved in bas-relief on the outer wall of the vessel to form a vessel. foot.It is a standard Ming Dynasty style, and the carving technique is also the Ming Dynasty jade cutting technique, but why is the inscription dated to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty?

Wu Di recalled that he had heard people say that because some jade carvings had no inscriptions, their historical value and commercial value were greatly reduced, so some people added some plausible inscriptions to them in order to sell them for a high price. Unexpectedly, today I did see one.

He put down the cup, shook his head and smiled:

"This cup is from the Ming Dynasty in terms of style and technique, but the inscription is from the Qing Dynasty. It is obvious that someone deliberately faked it. I think it is probably a fake. But it looks pretty, and it is okay if it is cheap. Take it."

The proprietress's heart skipped a beat. Her husband spent 3 yuan to collect this cup. After the museum's appraisal, it was exactly the same as Wu Di's. She even scolded the man.But after someone said that it could be worth a lot of money, she always had a little fantasy, to see if she could really meet someone who was taken advantage of and sell it for a sky-high price.Seeing this young man recognized at a glance at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and said:

"But this thing is indeed passed down from the ancestors, so it should be worth some money, right?"

"Of course! This cup is still quite old, but someone should have told you about its flaws, right? If it didn't have this inscription, it might be worth more. It's a pity."

The proprietress is anxious, this person is really, he keeps talking about things, but you are talking about how much it is worth?

"If this thing is what I want, it is not worth selling more than 30 yuan, because it is probably something from the Republic of China."

The proprietress breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although it's not worth millions, it's not worthless like the guy in the museum said!Now it has doubled ten times, should it be sold or not?

"Then... little brother, can you add some more? Look at how beautiful it is!"

Wu Di smiled and shook his head,

"There are a lot of beautiful things. I can get many more beautiful things than this one for only one or two thousand. Ma'am, things don't sell like this."

The proprietress laughed and said:

"Or, 35?"

This cup is indeed something from the Ming Dynasty, and its real value should be around 150 million, but the inscription of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty makes people uncomfortable, so Wu Di thinks that 30 is almost the same, and the proprietress doesn’t know the goods. For Xiaoru's sake, if he didn't directly ask for fifty thousand or one hundred thousand, he would be regarded as a kind person.

In the end, the proprietress gave in, and the transaction was 30 yuan, allowing Wu Di to pick up another rare item.

"This village is all made of Afghan jade, do you want to see it?"

The scientific name of Afghan jade "marble", also known as marble, is not what we usually call jade in the true sense.The reason why it is called jade is mainly to attract more people to buy, and its value is quite low.

The reason why Xiaoru asked this question is that Wu Di and the others probably looked down on them. Judging from the performance of the previous two villages, this whole is a prodigal young man who doesn't treat money as money!

"Since you're here, let's take a look together, so that you can avoid being fooled in the future."

Because Afghan white jade is very fine and uniform in quality, its luster is oily, and the jade flowers cannot be seen with the naked eye, it is often used to pass off high-quality white jade or mutton fat jade. Most people who don't know how to identify it will be fooled.In fact, the method of identification is very simple, as long as you scrape it hard with your fingernails, if you can scrape off a little white skin, it is not white jade.

The yard of the house at the head of the village is not big, mainly because a lot of houses have been built, and there are jade carving machines inside, and many workers process jade carvings inside.Wu Di took a look, most of them were statues of Avalokitesvara, and he understood.White jade Avalokitesvara faked from Afghan jade sells very well in Guangdong Province, so it is very popular with counterfeit bosses, and most of these are made for them.

"Xiao Ru is here, why, and brought guests, who can fancy your goods, most of them don't like us, come, sit in the house, the yard is too dirty!"

The fat proprietress saw Wu Di and the others, and greeted them enthusiastically. The one who can let Xiaoru personally lead them must be the big boss. These people love to cheat. If they can get this line, they might become a big family in the future!Of course, you can only think about such things in your heart, and you still have to be polite with your mouth.

Wu Di saw the white mist floating in the sky above the courtyard, and then looked at the workers processing jade pieces in the workshop. Some of them didn't even wear masks!He shook his head, now he is making money, but at the cost of sacrificing his health, he didn't understand this account before, don't he know it now?

The house that the proprietress said was not much better, except for some commonly used ones, there was a thin or thick layer of white ash on the surface of other things.

"This room is messy and there's no time to clean it up. Let's just make do with it."

The proprietress looked at the white jade Guanyin statue on the ground, and said in embarrassment.Then when he noticed that Wu Di was looking at the statue that seemed to be carved out of a mold, he couldn't help laughing:

"Now that the machines are getting more and more advanced, and the supply volume is too large, handmade ones have gradually become less popular. Boss, I can pick up anything here, not just Guanyin statues. Otherwise, I'll get you two. Samples out to see?"

After a few words of politeness, the proprietress changed the topic to business.

Wu Di nodded noncommittally.Some small pieces of Afghan jade still have certain collection value.Because it has a special physical structure and chemical composition, it has certain functions of absorbing water, locking water, and moisturizing. If it is in contact with the human body for a long time, it will easily absorb the sweat and oil of the human body, and the beneficial ingredients will be absorbed by the human body.Therefore, the longer Afghan white jade is in contact with the human body, the more oily the jade will be, and the smoother and more delicate the human skin will be.

In addition, Afghan white jade also has a photoelectric effect. In the process of rubbing and rolling, it can accumulate heat and store energy to form an electromagnetic field, which makes the human body resonate and promotes the coordinated operation of various parts and organs, so as to stabilize emotions and balance physiological functions. Function, play the effect of health care and physical fitness.The beneficial trace elements in white jade can also improve the appearance of the skin, balance the secretion of sebum, help maintain proper moisture in the cells, and make the skin look more moisturized and younger!

Since white jade has this effect, if the two women don't mind, it's still okay to buy a few small things and go back to play.

The proprietress went in to get things, Wu Di turned his eyes back to the Guanyin statue on the ground, suddenly his expression changed, he paid attention to his feet, stretched out his hand with difficulty and bent down, and picked up a white jade Guanyin with a thick and warm texture like cream.

The proprietress took out some Afghan jade pendants, bracelets, massage sticks and other small items. Seeing him holding a statue of Guanyin and looking at it, she smiled and said:

"This kind of thing is very popular in Guangdong Province. People there are superstitious, and many stores have it. Where is the boss's shop? You might as well take two of them back and try them out. If they don't sell, just bring them back."

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Wu Di said yes, and ordered Doraemon to take out two more pieces from the Avalokitesvara statue on the ground, and said with a smile:

"Bring three in total, and you won't lose any money if you try."

"That's right, this thing isn't worth much. It's only [-] for a wholesale piece, and if it's sold for hundreds of thousands, someone will want it! Look at this white jade comb. If you use it for a long time to comb your hair, your hair will become shiny, shiny, and moisturised. This is not my nonsense, it is written in many books!"

Wu Di nodded, picked out a few pieces himself, and handed them to Doraemon. This thing is often used, even if it has no obvious effect, it should be better than not having it.

Wen Lan and the others couldn't see through Wu Di's actions, but Doraemon knew that there must be ghosts in it, and most of them were on the Guanyin statue that Wu Di picked up with his own hands, so they asked for extra yellow mounting paper when loading the goods. Otherwise, running around on the dirt road in the countryside, if it gets damaged, it will be troublesome. (To be continued.)
