Reborn Jewelry

Chapter 340
The incense burner has a long history in our country and is one of the indispensable utensils in the sacrificial activities of the ancient ancestral temple.

In modern times, although incense burners are not so common, you can still see all kinds of incense burners in the homes of some people who pay attention to inheritance, or in temples.

The incense burners that appeared in the past dynasties in our country have many shapes and a wide range of materials.

Among them are copper, pottery, and even incense burners made of gold, silver, bamboo wood, jade, etc.

Incense burners made of different materials have different values.

The incense burner in Uncle Li's house was determined to be ceramic before it was cleaned.After cleaning, the appearance of the incense burner naturally became clear.

This incense burner was originally enshrined in the Li family's ancestral hall, and it was used to insert incense. It is not big, and it can barely fit in the palm of an adult.

The shape of the incense burner is also very simple, with two ears and three legs, which is a very common shape.

However, the decoration on the surface of the incense burner is very strange, it is a rare bamboo shape.

These bamboo branches are well arranged, not only looks very beautiful, but also has a special meaning, with the unique style of ancient Chinese literati.

Most importantly, this incense burner is white glazed and black colored!

In other words, the glaze color of the incense burner itself is white, but the bamboo branches on the surface of the incense burner are black!

Such a rare style of ceramics made Meng Dongyue frown and puzzled, but Chu Ning's heart skipped a beat.

This incense burner must not have been fired by the kiln she guessed...

"Brother Meng, can you show me this incense burner?" Chu Ning couldn't help but asked.

Meng Dongyue just couldn't understand the origin of this incense burner. Seeing Chu Ning speak, he knew that she must have a plan, and immediately passed the incense burner over: "Hold it and see. But this incense burner is a bit thorny, so be careful not to scratch your hands." .”

Uncle Li was displeased when he heard it: "I said young man, my incense burner is in good condition, how could it prick my hand? You can't talk nonsense!"

Meng Dongyue was really just talking nonsense.

He was just afraid that Uncle Li would see something and would take advantage of them again.

"Grandpa, don't be angry, I'm not afraid that my little junior sister won't know the importance, so I've just asked you one more thing!" Meng Dongyue said flatteringly, "Your old things must be good things, just to open our young people's eyes. "

Uncle Li glanced at Meng Dongyue lightly. Although he didn't say anything, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed that he was in a good mood.

Chu Ning held the incense burner in her hand and looked it over carefully, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that her guess was right.

She turned the censer over, exposing the bottom of the censer.

Two rows of characters are engraved on the bottom of the incense burner.

It is "Family Country Yongning" and "Xining Three Years".

Chu Ning was determined, she winked at Meng Dongyue, and suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Senior Brother Meng, I think this incense burner is very beautiful, why don't we take it back along the way?"

Is this incense burner really a good thing?
Meng Dongyue muttered in his heart, but his expression was a little impatient: "What are you bringing! It's just such a small stove, and it's everywhere in the wholesale market. If you like it, I'll take you around when I go back this time. I’ll buy you ten or eight of them to play with, they’re sure to be much prettier than this one!”

Chu Ning pouted unhappily.

Uncle Li knocked on the pipe in his hand unhappily and said, "I said, young man, what's the matter with you?! Didn't you just say that my incense burner is a good thing? Why are you saying that the city is much more beautiful than this now?" Is that right? Could it be that you were coaxing me just now?!"

Meng Dongyue hurriedly laughed and said: "Master, how dare I coax you! This little girl is too outrageous, she wants everything when she sees it, how can she do it?! No matter how much money the family has, it is not enough for her." Lost!"

"I think the little girl is very good at appreciating things, it's very good!" Uncle Li was eager to make more deals, so naturally he praised Chu Ning vigorously, "My incense burner is so good in our ancestral hall." For many years, I don’t know how much incense has been soaked in it, but it is spiritual! The fact that the little girl can see this incense burner shows that she has vision!"

Meng Dongyue glared at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning drooped her head and said timidly: "Brother Meng, I really think this incense burner is pretty..."

Meng Dongyue sighed helplessly, and glanced at Tao Fei unobtrusively.

Tao Fei immediately understood.

It's time for him to play again.

"Uncle Li, we are not outsiders. Since my friend likes your incense burner so much, why don't you make an offer." Tao Fei stepped forward and said with a smile, "If the price is right, we can buy this incense burner."

Uncle Li looked at the aggrieved Chu Ning, and then at the dark-faced Meng Dongyue. After several turns in his mind, he finally made a decision: "Boy Tao, this incense burner, sir, is a thing handed down from our ancestors. It is different from before. Those jewelry are different. I think the little girl really likes this incense burner, so I won't ask you for more, just give me 6000 yuan, and you can take the incense burner away!"

what? !

6000 dollars? !

This asking price is several times more expensive than the previous silver jewelry!

"Tao Fei, I don't think we should talk about it." Meng Dongyue said with a look of unbearable, "6000 yuan? I can buy a thousand of these incense burners in the wholesale market! Then I can directly open an incense burner shop!"

Chu Ning was hesitant to speak when she heard that, she looked at Uncle Li and then at Meng Dongyue, although she didn't say anything, the look on her brows clearly favored Meng Dongyue.

Uncle Li was a little anxious, but he held back anyway.

Tao Fei hurriedly advised Meng Dongyue not to worry, and said to Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, your asking price is too high! It's just an ordinary incense burner, even if it is as you said, it has been passed down for a long time. It’s a bit expensive, but it’s still worthless! If you really want to sell it, then tell us a real price. If you insist on this price, then we really can’t talk.”

Uncle Li pondered for a while, then sighed: "Hey, after all, this is something left by our ancestors. If the ancestral hall is not even gone now, I would not sell this incense burner anyway. Since you think I opened this The price is not suitable, why don't you pay the price first and let me hear it."

The three of Meng Dongyue didn't show it on their faces, but they were speechless in their hearts.

This old man, at this time, still wants to impress them with that little feeling!
If Uncle Li really valued the family and the ancestral hall so much, how did he get the cutting board transformed from a plaque in his kitchen?

Tao Fei looked at Meng Dongyue, and Meng Dongyue said impatiently: "600 yuan, I'll buy your incense burner! If you don't think it's enough, sir, let's forget about this business!"

"Brother Meng..."

"Be obedient!" Meng Dongyue glared at Chu Ning, "Isn't it just an incense burner? Brother will buy it for you when you return to the city. You can buy as much as you want, okay?"
