Peerless little Shennong

Chapter 138 Three Oddities
Antique shops don't talk about buying and selling things, they talk about looking at and giving things away. I have to say that there are quite a lot of ways in this business.

Lu Xiaobei cut to the chase and said, "Do you accept Lingbi stone?"

As soon as his words fell to the ground, the old man walked over with his eyes shining.

"Young man, do you have Lingbi stone?" The man asked happily.

"Yes, there are quite a few!" Lu Xiaobei said bluntly.

"Er Niu, watch tea!" The old man called the clerk to watch tea and then invited Lu Xiaobei to the second floor.

After taking his seat, the old man introduced himself: "My lord, Li Mushan, what's your surname?"

"My surname is Lu. You don't have to be polite. I'm here to sell things. I'm flattered to have you, an old man, be so polite to me!"

Lu Xiaobei could tell from the other party's attitude that he loved Lingbi Stone, otherwise the other party would not have invited him to the second floor so politely.

The second floor of Baichuanfang is an open living room, and the display cabinets on both sides are filled with some old antiques.

The sofas on the second floor are all antique wooden sofas, and the entire second floor gives people the feeling that they are tall and classy.

The young man named Er Niu quickly brought the tea.

Li Mushan greeted Lu Xiaobei and said, "Please drink tea, Mr. Lu!"

When Lu Xiaobei saw that the tea cups were all porcelain cups with blue patterns, he was extremely impressed by the facade project of the antique shop.

Doing business here feels like being in another dynasty.

"Mr. Lu, can you show me your Lingbi Stone?" Li Mushan asked politely.

"Yes!" Lu Xiaobei took out the small piece of Lingbi stone brought out from the scroll space and handed it to Li Mushan, saying: "I only brought a small piece, you can see the quality and purity, if the price is right I have quite a few more!"

Li Mushan didn't reach out to pick up the Lingbi Stone that Lu Xiaobei handed over, but asked Lu Xiaobei to wait for a while, he put on gloves and walked over with a small magnifying glass and a small hammer.

Only then did Li Mushan carefully take the Lingbi Stone into his hand.

Lu Xiaobei really didn't expect people in the antique business to be so particular about it.

You have to wear gloves to pick things up, and you need to use a magnifying glass and a small hammer to see things.

This is really the rhythm of specialization in the art industry.

In Lu Xiaobei's astonishment, Li Mushan began to look at Lingbi Stone.

Lu Xiaobei watched Li Mushan's movements intently and silently remembered.

The other party scanned the entire Lingbi stone with a magnifying glass, and tapped it with a small hammer while sweeping.

When Li Mushan struck, this piece of Lingbi stone issued different notes, which were very pleasant to the ear.

This kind of Lingbi stone, called chime stone, is one of the four famous stones in China, and it is called the four famous stones together with Taihu stone, Kun stone and Ying stone.

Lingbi Qing stone has been recognized as the best stone for chime making as far back as 3000 years ago.

Lu Xiaobei checked the information on the Internet last night, and found out what Li Mushan meant by hitting him with a small hammer.

This is to identify the sound made by Lingbi stone. There is a saying that the stone can be used to identify the sound.

Li Mushan knocked and listened, the expression on his face changed very quickly.

After a long time, Li Mushan completed the appraisal. He took off his gloves and put down his tools and praised: "Although the Lingbi stone sent by Mr. Lu has no peculiar shape, its texture is extremely pure."

"How do you say it?" Lu Xiaobei asked immediately after he didn't understand the texture of Lingbi Stone.

"The hardness of the Lingbi stone sent by Mr. Lu is the best, and it is also the most suitable for long-term collection." Li Mushan said happily.

"What price can it be worth?"

"It's hard to say, but the main characteristics of Lingbi stone can be summarized as three oddities and five strange things. However, the Lingbi stone sent by Mr. Lu seems to exceed these characteristics, and it is actually the top grade among the top grades." Li Mushan eloquently road.

Lu Xiaobei thought in his heart: It seems that Li Mushan is a knowledgeable buyer, isn't this piece of Lingbi stone the top grade?It is a spirit stone, a spirit stone called the omnipotent stone by Dr. Turtle.

"Dare to ask what are strange things?" Lu Xiaobei asked inexplicably.

"The three oddities are strange in color, strange in sound, and strange in quality, and the five oddities are thin, transparent, leaky, wrinkled, and ugly." Li Mushan talked about each item.

"Can you be more specific?"

Li Mushan smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, you drink tea first, and I will explain it to you carefully."

It is rare for Li Mushan to meet a young man who likes to listen to knowledge about antiques, and he is very willing to share knowledge about Lingbi stone with this young man Lu Xiaobei.

Li Mushan opened up the conversation and said: "The so-called color strange refers to the unique color of Lingbi stone. Since it is called color strange, it means that the color of Lingbi stone is very strange. Its black color is like black jade, and its white is as warm as suet. Its color is a combination of red, blue and blue, which is simply too beautiful to behold. I have never seen a colorful Lingbi stone in my life. I have seen a lot of white and black jade, but the one sent by Mr. Lu is earthy yellow. Truly a masterpiece.”

Lu Xiaobei sipped his tea and listened carefully, without interrupting Li Mushan.

As for the strange earthy color he mentioned, Lu Xiaobei understood that the yin and yang atmosphere in the painting scroll space is excellent, while the attribute of Lingbi stone is earthy, Lingbi stone absorbed the wonderful yin and yang atmosphere in the painting scroll space and evolved into the most obvious The earthy khaki color is just in line with the strange color characteristics of the three wonders of Lingbi stone.

Seeing that Lu Xiaobei listened very carefully, Li Mushan continued: "The second of the three wonders refers to the sound. Lingbi stone has always been said to have the sound of gold and stone, and it has a sound and harmonizes eight tones. Lingbi Chime stones have always been loved by court ministers among classical musical instruments, and Lingbi stones with excellent sound can be made into fish chimes, chime chimes and other musical instruments, which is simply the best gift of nature to music!"

Li Mushan seemed very excited, his eyebrows were beaming when he spoke strangely, and there was a rhythm of pointing Jiangshan to stimulate the words.

Lu Xiaobei nodded in agreement and said, "Mr. Li is really knowledgeable and talented. I have never heard of the knowledge you mentioned. This junior has really learned it. Thank you for your enlightenment!"

"Where is it? It's just learning and selling now. Let me talk about the last strangeness. The third strangeness of Lingbi stone refers to its quality. It is the hardness problem I just told you. Bishi is among all strange stones. The hardness is the best, and the best hardness is conducive to long-term collection and more conducive to making handicrafts. In addition, Lingbi stone contains more than ten kinds of trace elements that are beneficial to human health, and the content of strontium is as high as [-]%. Forty-eight, it has obvious effects on anti-cancer and longevity." Li Mushan said with a glance.

Lu Xiaobei was also dumbfounded. Although he checked the information on the Internet last night, he basically just browsed it briefly. He also listened with gusto to what Li Mushan said.

In the end, Li Mushan made a final decision: "So Lingbi stone is a collection of appreciation, collection, practicality, craftsmanship, and health care. It is a wonder among stones that other strange stones cannot match."

"Old Li, what are the five monsters referring to?" Lu Xiaobei's curiosity was aroused, and he asked with frowned eyebrows.
