Chapter 157 Inside-painted snuff bottle

"Aren't there any good things? Today these things are not very good." Qin Zhouxu complained after reading the whole thing, and Xiao Niqian smiled bitterly, "Boss, there is no need to sell vegetables for this antique. If I There are good goods every day, why do you come here to set up a stall now, go enjoy life earlier.”

Qin Zhouxu wiped his hands, "By the way, where do you usually receive these things? Is there a fixed purchase channel?"

Little Niqiu's heart moved. Why did this guy ask this? Could it be that he followed the clues and even gave him his old nest? "I'm just running around, and if I see something suitable, I'll take it. I'm counting it as a first-hand deal, and I can't afford a second hand."

"Come on, who doesn't know that antique stores don't open for three years, and open for three years. If you don't move usually, if you move a little, it's a big business. It's estimated that you won't have to stay here for a month. Then you are from Where did you collect it?" Qin Zhouxu patted the dust on his body, Tianjing was really gray in the morning, and his body was particularly easy to get dirty.

When he was in Liangcheng, Qin Zhouxu only polished his leather shoes once a week or two. Now, he has to wipe his shoes almost every day when he goes out. Take care of it, Qin Zhou thought about it humbly.

But Qin Zhouxu really didn't understand. It's not a good thing to inquire about other people's purchase channels.

In fact, most of these things for Little Loach were collected from distant farms, and of course some of them were obtained by bartering from small stalls. Although Little Loach’s vision is not very good, his bargaining skills are quite good. , so after going back and forth, Little Loach still made a lot of money.

Qin Zhou looked at it for a long time, and found that Little Loach really didn’t have any good things here. He really didn’t have time to go to the farms to collect it. He couldn’t make the collection into a protracted battle. His time was precious, and there were many. Things to do.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the business here is pretty good for Little Niach, and there are always people coming up to ask the price. Qin Zhouxu saw that there were more and more people around him, and he didn't want to block Little Niach's way of making money, so he got up and left.

Going all the way to the depths of Gaijia Alley, Qin Zhouxu found another acquaintance, the young man who sold him the porcelain shards last time. The young man came late, and he just started paving the way.

Qin Zhouxu saw that he was sweating profusely, so he helped him pack a few things. When the young man turned his head, he found that it was none other than the previous buyer, "Boss, you are here, sit down quickly." Let's take a break, how can I let you do it?"

The young man's face was blooming. After all, the young man is still inexperienced. Compared with the little loach, the young man who sells porcelain pieces is much more real. He insisted on pushing Qin Zhouxu down and sitting on the chair next to him. Busy inside and out, get everything in order.

"How is it? Is the business going well recently?" Qin Zhouxu looked at a snuff bottle on the young man's booth. It was pretty good. The snuff bottle was painted inside, and the artist was very good. However, it seems that more and more people are paying attention to the collection value of snuff bottles, which are things that old Tianjing people play with.

Snuff bottles have also developed into a large collection category. The young man wiped off his sweat and watched Qin Zhouxu keep playing with the snuff bottle. He felt a lot of affection in his heart, "Boss, you are from Tianjing, right? Also like this thing? My grandpa is very fond of it, and he often picks it up and never leaves it. You see, this patty is made by playing with it for many years."

Although the snuff bottle is a small device, it can be played in various ways.As early as the late Ming Dynasty, the Europeans introduced snuff bottles into China. After the Qing Dynasty, snuffing snuff became a fashion. From the royal family to the common people, everyone took snuff one after another. , Turn back to play with the snuff bottle.

In fact, the snuff method is very particular. It is not just simple tobacco, but also a series of precious Chinese medicinal materials such as mint, borneol, musk, etc., which are absolutely miraculous for relieving fatigue and refreshing the mind.

Qin Zhouxu heard people say that even in modern times, some minority Hui people still have a hobby of snuffing snuff. As snuff is so popular, all boats rise with the tide, and snuff bottles have become objects for the princes and nobles to play with.

Because the princes, nobles and Hui people have a special liking for this snuff bottle, the snuff bottle is made of excellent materials, and the craftsmanship is spared no expense. Gold, silver, jade, jade, coral, agate, ivory, glass, porcelain, etc., almost All precious materials are available.

However, it is popular among the people that glass, porcelain and agate are more popular. Modern snuff bottles are mostly made of glass. The snuff bottle in Qin Zhouxu's hand is actually a porcelain snuff bottle. It will not exceed Jiaqing at night, it is an old thing.

It's a pity that the material of the pot lid is not very expensive. It is made of tourmaline. Although the price of tourmaline has been soaring in recent years, compared with jadeite and Hetian jade, the price is still a lot lower. It can only be said that it has potential. There is no advantage in price.

The young man watched Qin Zhouxu play with it for a long time, and took out a small spoon made of bamboo inside, and kept stirring it in the snuff bottle. He seemed to be an expert, "Boss, have you used the snuff bottle together? "

Qin Zhouxu smiled, and he remembered the past again. His master Shan Yue liked to use this snuff bottle when he was alive, and often took a few puffs. The snuff bottle in Shan Yue's hand was an emerald snuff bottle, which was a snuff bottle It's a pity that things are the same as people, Qin Zhouxu sighed.

The young man thought that Qin Zhouxu was dissatisfied with his snuff bottle, so he was in a hurry and quickly introduced it to Qin Zhouxu, "Boss, don't look at this thing as small, it is a fine product of the Qing Dynasty. Absolutely no loss."

Qin Zhouxu smiled slightly, and he patted the young man on the shoulder, "I didn't say this thing is bad, how about it, let's make a price."

The young man was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Qin Zhouxu not only had no intention of leaving, but was planning to take the snuff bottle into his pocket. He hurried over. This was the second time that Qin Zhouxu helped him open the business. Fate is what the antique shop pays attention to. , the young man felt that Qin Zhouxu was really his blessing.

"Boss, I think you are a real person, and I don't deceive you. My snuff bottle is a little flawed. Look here." The young man pointed to the inside of the snuff bottle, where there was a crack. If it is particularly influential, I will quote a real price, [-], what do you think?"

In fact, Qin Zhouxu has already discovered this flaw, but it is really rare for the seller to pick out his own minor flaws. Qin Zhouxu nodded secretly. Ji Ji returned the price, "I'll give you a whole number, ten thousand."

"Boss, this thing is really good. If it weren't for this, next time, there is no possibility of considering it below [-] yuan. You can add some more. How about taking care of my business for the first wave of business today?" The young man started It's a pity that he is inexperienced after all with Qin Zhou, and it's like begging for a price.

Qin Zhou was amused, he purposely stuck with the young man for a while, and finally the two of them set the price at [-], "Okay, you can't do this when you sell things, you have to learn to figure out the psychology of customers, what are you talking about?" It’s like asking for help, it’s not like doing business at all.”

The young man scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Boss, I know I'm not good enough for business, but I can't help it. My family is too poor, so I came out to sell a few things to subsidize my family."

"Well, I have to change it in the future. By the way, I'll ask you something." Qin Zhouxu held the snuff bottle in his hand and kept ###. The young man happily agreed. His business here is deserted and there are not many people. , There is no way, who told him that he is not as good at fooling as Little Loach.

The young man earned more than 1 yuan today, and even if he doesn’t come to the business for a few days, he doesn’t have to worry about eating and drinking. For the time being, no one cares about his business, so he just chatted with Qin Zhouxu, “Boss, just ask, as long as it’s me If Jiao Xiaoniu knows, I will definitely tell you."

Qin Zhouxu nodded, he only now knew that the boy's name was Jiao Xiaoniu, "Xiao Niu, where do you get these things from, and what is the channel of purchase?"

"Boss, so you asked this. Some of them were handed down from the family, but not many. Most of them were collected from a fellow villager like me. He ran around and collected treasures all over the world. I just got them directly from him. Got the goods." Jiao Xiaoniu said truthfully.

Qin Zhouxu frowned, "How much stuff does that fellow of yours have? How's the quality?" Jiao Xiaoniu was busy for a long time before he had time to relax. He took out a cup of very strong tea, "To be honest, he Most of the things there are mediocre, you can tell from me, I’m telling the truth, if you want to collect good things, I guess it’s useless.”

Jiao Xiaoniu shook his head, he didn't seem to be very flattering to his fellow villagers, Qin Zhouxu's mood sank, and the little hope that had just been ignited seemed to be dashed again, "Yes, that's such a pity. "

"Boss, are you going to collect a batch of good things?" Jiao Xiaoniu asked Qin Zhouxu, clutching his teacup, Qin Zhouxu nodded, "Yes, I want to collect a batch, and not a small batch, it's better It would be nice to have dozens or hundreds of pieces.”

Jiao Xiaoniu counted his thumbs at Qin Zhou imaginarily, "It's amazing, I've seen it for a long time, I know that you are a big boss, a few hundred good things are worth a lot of money, how can ordinary people have such courage, huh ,correct."

Jiao Xiaoniu paused for a moment, as if he remembered something, Jiao Xiaoniu put down the teacup suddenly, and pulled off Qin Zhouxu's clothes with excitement on his face, "Boss, maybe I can really help you .”

"What's the situation, tell me." Qin Zhouxu saw that Jiao Xiaoniu didn't look like a fake, and became interested, "I remember that my fellow villager mentioned to me some time ago that there seems to be an auction recently, and there are a lot of them. The collection is going to be auctioned, and it is said that after a company went bankrupt, it owed a lot of debt, and the court auctioned off their collection to pay off the debt."
