Reborn Jewelry

Chapter 336
Judging from the fineness of the jewelry box and the peeling off of the paint surface, this catalpa wood jewelry box has a history of at least a hundred years.

At the corner of the jewelry box, there were traces of being eaten by mice, which made Chu Ning feel distressed.

What a waste of money!

If this jewelry box is well preserved, it will definitely not be a problem to sell it for tens of millions.

But now, after this jewelry box was brought back, it had to be repaired first.And this repaired thing, although it looks the same as the complete one, has been greatly discounted in value.

Chu Ning was not distressed by the price difference, but that such a good jewelry box was ruined like this.It would be a pain in the heart to change to anyone who learns antiques.

Looking at the shape of the jewelry box, it is a typical old-fashioned jewelry box, divided into upper, middle and lower layers, and it is quite heavy.

A blooming lotus flower is carved on the box surface, and there are lotus leaves under the lotus flower as a lining.

Although the pattern carved on the surface of this box is very simple, the carving technique is extremely exquisite, and the carving of the lotus is lifelike.Even in such a dark environment, Chu Ning almost had the feeling that she had seen a real lotus by making a wrong eye.

It's a pity that such a beautiful lotus has gaps in many places, as if it was accidentally scratched by something, adding one wound after another to this moving lotus.

These wounds are all accumulated in life, and they are not achieved overnight.

Chu Ning did not reveal her views on the jewelry box, and opened the compartment in the jewelry box, revealing the few pieces of silver jewelry inside.

There are bracelets, silver hairpins, and silver earrings.

All silver.

Not a single piece of gold jewelry, let alone gemstones.

Chu Ning immediately understood why Uncle Li's children didn't like these jewelry anymore.

These things are indeed not worth much, the craftsmanship is ordinary, the style is old-fashioned, and the silver quality has faded a lot.No one would wear these silver jewelry to go out, except for the heavy hit.

Chu Ning looked at the silver jewelry and didn't speak for a long time.

Uncle Li seemed to be a little embarrassed, knowing that the little girl in front of him who was not an ordinary person at first glance would definitely not like these old jewelry of his own, so he hurriedly said: "Girl, if you are willing to accept these jewelry from my family, I will decorate this jewelry." This box is for you! Don’t underestimate this box. It’s a bit worn out, but it’s passed down from my wife’s natal family. It’s an old thing! The jewelry boxes sold outside are pretty, but they’re not as durable as mine. !"

If Chu Ning hadn't known that this jewelry box was indeed not simple, she would have laughed out loud.

This Uncle Li seems to be a very simple person, but he didn't expect to start a business like this.

"Master, it's rare for us to go to the countryside, and we really don't want to run in vain." Chu Ning said with a smile, "It's not difficult for us to accept your old jewelry. However, I don't know your asking price..."

Uncle Li saw that there was a door, and immediately said: "I know these old jewelry are worthless, but they are silver anyway. I don't want too much. You can give me 2000 yuan and take this box of jewelry away. How about it? "

2000 dollars? !

If it weren't for the catalpa wood jewelry box in her hand, Chu Ning would have almost returned the whole jewelry box to Uncle Li right away!

As for these old silver ornaments that have turned black, if they are recycled, they will give you 200 yuan, which is still higher!

This Uncle Li is too dark-hearted, he even asked for 2000 yuan!

Chu Ning glanced at Meng Dongyue.

Meng Dongyue understood and gave Tao Fei a look.

Tao Fei understood.

It seems that these two are planning to buy these jewelry away.

But these jewelry are indeed worthless!
Tao Fei murmured in his heart.

He has been in the middleman business for more than ten years, and he has more or less eyesight. He can basically see the signs of ordinary antiques.However, catalpa wood jewelry is relatively rare, and many people don't even know it.Coupled with the lighting problem in this room, Tao Fei naturally didn't notice anything special about the jewelry box containing the old jewelry.

Tao Fei felt that the reason why Meng Dongyue and Chu Ning were willing to buy these jewelry must be out of sympathy for Uncle Li who lived alone in the countryside.

But this kind of sympathy is often limited. If Uncle Li pushes forward and doesn't know how to restrain himself, I'm afraid these two masters are not so easy to soften their hearts.

Tao Fei had a plan in his mind, so he took the initiative to negotiate the price with Uncle Li: "Master, don't think that we are young, and you bully us for not knowing the market! Your jewelry is all old jewelry, or silver, it doesn't matter. It’s almost too dark to read. Things like this are thrown away in the city, and we are willing to take them away. We just don’t want to make a waste of a trip. Sir, if you are sincere in selling them, just tell us a real price. Let's not come to those fake ones, okay?"

Uncle Li chuckled: "Boy Tao, what you said is wrong. You said it before. It doesn't matter if things are valuable or not. The most important thing is that they are rare. These old jewelry of mine are worthless, but when you come to the city Look around, where can I find old jewelry like mine? Just based on this, I want you 2000 yuan, sir, isn’t it too much?”

Tao Fei was speechless for a while.

Is there such a nonsense?

"Master, you can't say that." Tao Fei argued, "We are looking for rare things, not unusable things! If you want to say that, then our business can't be done. Let's talk!"

Seeing that the group of young people in front of him were really not that easy to fool, Uncle Li rolled his eyes, tapped the pipe in his hand and said, "Forget it, it's rare that people from our countryside can come here, so I'll be at a disadvantage. You guys If you really want to accept these old jewelry from me, including the jewelry box, it’s not too much to give [-]? Not to mention the jewelry, just my box, it’s also made of old wood, and it can be repaired and repaired, which is comparable to the ones sold outside. Much better!"

Tao Fei laughed angrily.

This Uncle Li is really an expert at bargaining. He can still ask for a price of [-], and he looks like he is at a disadvantage!

But he, Tao Fei, has been running around all these years, so he doesn't eat so much for nothing in this line of work!
The two came and went, and finally pressed the price at 800 yuan, and Uncle Li refused to take a step back.

Tao Fei had nothing to do with him, so he could only look at Meng Dongyue.

Obviously, the 800 yuan was already the lowest price Tao Fei could talk about.

As for whether to make this deal, it depends on what Meng Dongyue and Chu Ning want.

Meng Dongyue nodded quietly to Chu Ning.

The corners of Chu Ning's mouth lifted slightly.

In fact, if she hadn't bought this box of jewelry for 2000 yuan for fear of missing a loophole, she would have paid for it long ago.

Now that Tao Fei has done his best, she naturally won't procrastinate the matter any longer, so as not to have long nights and dreams.
