Chapter 4 The Old Birthday Star Got It (This chapter is free)

Hongji Road is actually a street outside the Antique City. This street is not the main street, but a street in the village. But because the main entrance of the Antique City is on this street, this street is also very famous in Zhongdu. .

Since it was Saturday, the street was already full of people coming and going, and both sides of the road were full of street stalls, ancient books, rare books, carved stone paintings, flowers, insects, birds and animals, everything that one expects to find, plus food sellers, it looks like a vegetable market land.

There are too many stalls, and most of them are similar. In addition, the picture in the dream is also blurred, even intermittent. Chen Ran is not sure which stall it is. He knows that he can only look for it by feeling, but it is obviously left I don't have much time, I have to buy things before that person.

Chen Ran first came to the entrance of a hotpot restaurant, about [-] meters away from the gate of the Antique City. He stood at the entrance of the hotpot restaurant and recalled the scene in his dream. The familiar sign he saw at that time was the signboard of the hotpot restaurant.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Ran's tense and excited mood slowly calmed down, and then he followed his feeling and walked towards the south of Hongji Road. While recalling the scene in his dream, he looked at the surrounding environment .

"Excellent Tieguanyin..." There was a burst of yelling, and Chen Ran's heart suddenly moved. He remembered that there was a stall selling tea like this in his dream, and he kept yelling, and the person in the dream went up. I pinched a handful and looked at it.

Chen Ran looked back, but did not find the person in the dream, but found that although there were three tea stalls, only one was selling Tieguanyin.

The stall owner who sells tea is a young man wearing a black hat, who is also the familiar figure in Chen Ran's dream.

"Little brother, do you want to take some back?" The young man greeted Chen Ran warmly when he saw Chen Ran stopped in front of the booth. Although Chen Ran's hair was messy and his clothes were ordinary, in a market like antiques, even a Those who are poor and beggars should not be underestimated.

Chen Ran was pressed for time, shook his head, and walked forward.

Then Chen Ran found three or four familiar booths, but to his disappointment, he never found the familiar person in his dream.

Just when Chen Ran was about to look back, suddenly, his gaze seemed to be fixed, and he stared closely at a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, who was holding a white plastic bag in his hand. is walking towards him.

After being in a daze for a few seconds, Chen Ran came back to his senses and walked towards the boy with his whole mind.

Before the boy reached Chen Ran, he turned and walked towards the street, and Chen Ran's eyes followed the direction he turned and went. Suddenly, a familiar scene came into view... This is a pottery seller. The reason why Chen Ran didn't notice the stall before was because the stall was not on the street, but a little bit inward.

The stall was not big, and there were small items on it. The stall owner was a middle-aged man in a coat, and the boy was his son, who brought him lunch.

While looking at this booth, Chen Ran also saw the familiar figure in his dream. This is an old man in his 60s and [-]s, wearing a casual Chinese tunic suit. At this moment, he is squatting in front of this booth and watching intently.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ran immediately walked to the booth, and looked towards the familiar corner with a glance. There was a ceramic jar standing there alone. It was said to be a ceramic jar, but it was actually a piggy bank.

When Chen Ran saw the ceramic jar, the old man in the Chinese tunic suit also noticed the ceramic jar. He didn't think much about it, but felt that it was too far away to see clearly, so he stretched out his hand to get it.

But he didn't expect that before he took it, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed the ceramic pot in his hand.

It wasn't until he grabbed the ceramic pot in his hand that Chen Ran's heart that had been holding it was completely relaxed. Before he knew it, his body was covered in cold sweat, and he was almost about to miss it.

"Little brother, have you taken a fancy to this one?" Ordinarily, Chen Ran's actions were very unruly, but the old man in the Chinese tunic suit was not angry. Instead, he looked at Chen Ran with interest. This ceramic jar is just a handicraft.

"I looked at this thing like a piggy bank and wanted to buy it to play with. You are always interested, why don't you take a look first?" Chen Ran said with some embarrassment, but he said so, but he didn't attract attention. The man shook the ceramic jar attentively, and there were bursts of crisp voices, making him think to himself, sure enough!

The old man in the Chinese tunic suit shook his head: "Hehe, you can play with it."

"Boss, can I ask for a price?" Chen Ran looked at the stall owner who was eating.

The stall owner had also noticed the scene just now, but Chen Ran spoke in an insider way, which made him hesitate for a moment before laughing: "Buy it now, 580 yuan!"

As soon as the price came out, Chen Ran and the old man in the Chinese tunic suit frowned, and among them, Chen Ran's heart suddenly tightened. He remembered to buy this thing, but he forgot that he only had more than 50 yuan left in his pocket.

Although the old man in the dream only paid ten yuan, the price of this thing is not good.

"It's not very reliable!" Chen Ran frowned, and put down the ceramic pot.

The stall owner glanced at the old man and said unhurriedly, "The lowest price is five hundred yuan."

The old man in the tunic suit frowned again, and then he understood the stall owner's plan. He snorted, stood up, turned around and left.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ran felt somewhat guilty, but he needed this sum of money more than the old man, and this sum of money meant a lot to him, so he could only silently say to the old man I apologize, and I hope to have the opportunity to make up for the other party in the future.

As soon as the old man left, Chen Ran became more determined, put down the ceramic pot, turned around and left, but within two steps, he was stopped by the stall owner again: "Hey, little brother, don't go, the price is easy to negotiate, please ask for a suitable price, I'll let you, how about it?"

After some haggling, Chen Ran still paid 25 yuan to get the ceramic pot, which was more than twice as much as the old man's, but there was no way around it. The antique business is like this, and the price generally has no specific positioning.

Without even eating lunch, Chen Ran rushed back to the residence as quickly as possible.After returning to the residence, Chen Ran threw the ceramic pot on the bed and never looked at it again. He knew that what he needed most now was not to open the ceramic pot, but to calm down!

The moment Chen Ran picked up the carving knife, he forgot the pottery pot, Uncle Liang, time, and everything... His expression was so focused, with a hint of masochistic focus, he didn't want to Let himself relax, in fact, he also knows that he is afraid, afraid that the ceramic pot is not what he imagined... "Bang bang..."

I don't know how long it has passed, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and Chen Ran was also awakened suddenly.

After being in a daze for a full minute, Chen Ran regained his composure and opened the door. It was the landlord standing outside the door.

"Aunt Luo, I forgot that today is the time to pay the rent. It's getting dark now. Can I withdraw the money for you tomorrow?" Chen Ran was startled, and quickly said to the landlord.

Only ghosts will believe your words.

The landlord curled his lips, looked into Chen Ran's house, and then said in a neutral tone: "The rent is fine, and I can't live here in the future. Didn't you read the notice posted downstairs? It's going to be demolished and rebuilt. Within days, all of them will be moved away, and if they fail to move away, the consequences will be at their own risk!"

Chen Ran looked at the landlord in a little surprise, never expecting to encounter such a thing.

After the landlord left, Chen Ran closed the door, and couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart. This can be said to add insult to injury, and it is hard to find such a cheap old house again.

Looking at the beautiful ceramic pot in his hand, Chen Ran straightened his mind and tried to calm himself down. After two or three minutes of silence, he clasped the ceramic pot with both hands and turned it over so that the bottom was up.

This ceramic jar is actually a ceramic piggy bank with a hole on the bottom surface, but it seems to be sealed by glue.

He shook it with his hand, only to hear a whirring sound. The reason why he bought this ceramic jar was not because the ceramic jar was valuable, but because something stored in the ceramic jar was very valuable.

Taking a knife from the work table casually, Chen Ran scraped off the glue that sealed the mouth.With a snapping sound, the plug was bounced away by Chen Ran, and a small round hole appeared in front of his eyes.

Although Chen Ran was calm on the surface, he could feel his heart beating "thumping", as if it was about to pop out of his throat. He covered his mouth with his hand and put the ceramic jar with a little urgency. upside down.

With a hula, a beautiful bright red flashed, and a cool thing fell into Chen Ran's hands.

Chen Ran's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he had already known the result from his dream, when he saw this thing, his heart felt as if he had knocked over a five-flavored bottle for a while, with all the ups and downs flooding his heart.

Carefully putting this thing on the bed, Chen Ran went to the bathroom, and after washing his face with cold tap water, he felt relieved.

Chen Ran is no stranger to this item. It is also a jade pendant, but it is obviously of high grade. Although he has seen many pictures on the Internet, he has never seen it with his own eyes.

The jade ware is carved from natural Hetian seed jade. The jade seeds are moist and bright, as moist as oil, with a gorgeous red skin, which is exquisite and gorgeous. There is also a golden skin on the back, which makes people love it.

Jade is generally divided into nephrite and jadeite, and jadeite is jadeite.Nephrite jade is divided into white jade, topaz, sapphire, jasper, and black jade due to its different colors. Among them, Hetian jade is the most famous. The raw stone that Chen Ran often uses is Nanyang jade.

Nanyang jade is produced in Dushan, Nanyang City, Central Plains Province. It is known as the four famous jades in China. However, compared with the price of Hetian jade, the price of Nanyang jade is still at a low level.

At present, on the market, a good jade bracelet or Hetian jade bracelet is priced at hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions, but the price of a single jade bracelet of similar quality is only tens of thousands of yuan, with a difference of dozens of times or even several hundred times.

Among nephrite jade, Hetian jade is the most famous and correspondingly the most expensive.

And this old birthday star pendant is carved from Hetian jade!
