Play treasure master

Chapter 229

Comparing prices between gold and emeralds, emeralds are at a disadvantage, because gold is relatively heavy, and the weight of a small piece of gold can catch up with a large piece of emeralds.

Even with this disadvantageous price comparison method, 82 grams of emeralds is equivalent to 410 grams of gold; in the Ming Dynasty, a catty was basically 500 grams, but it was 16 taels a catty, and 410 grams was more than 13 taels.One tael of gold is worth ten taels of silver, that is 130 taels of silver.

In the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver was enough to hold a high-end banquet.

People often make calculations, how much is one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty worth now?In fact, there is no way to calculate it at all. The stages of social development are different, the levels of productivity are different, and various material needs are different.

However, it can be determined that Yupo was very precious in the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Fengcao and Yu Yao summed it up, and this 82-gram piece of amber is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars just for raw materials.At the same time, this is only the value of the material, not the value of the antiques. After all, this is something from the Ming Dynasty.Therefore, this Ming Dynasty pen holder is worth more than a million pieces.

The person who used this piece of amber to make the pen holder at that time was obviously very knowledgeable. Maybe the shape at that time was similar to the pen holder, so in order to reduce loss, he carved it according to the shape.

At the same time, the sanding is also very coarse, because the finer the sanding, the more the grinding will be removed.This makes the grain pattern on the surface plus patina, which is a bit like the caviar pattern of rhinoceros horn.

It is of course a big leak to buy more than 100 million things with [-] yuan.

"Why do I feel that today is a bit of a fantasy?" Yang Rui rubbed his head.

"That's why I said that luck is very important. And these few leaks are not picked up, they don't sell this kind of thing at all! Just your sapphire gem is from a jade stall, but the stall owner is still making modern ones. Crafts." Yu Yao said to Yang Rui.

Lin Fengcao sighed, "There is another sentence, I understand it very deeply, listen to people's persuasion, and eat enough! I didn't really want to visit Panjiayuan, but I am sorry to refuse your invitation; later on, I didn't want to visit either. Street stalls and greenhouses, it was you who made me change my mind again."

Yang Rui laughed loudly, "Okay, you can invite me at noon."

"That's no problem. But, now you listen to me, if you don't like shopping, go for a walk." Lin Fengcao replied.

The three went to the shop area together again.

In fact, for many shop owners, a considerable part of the supply is obtained from street stalls and sold in the shop.Generally, those who open a store have more capital, vision, and contacts.

The advantage of the store is that there is a place where you can talk about business, so you pay more attention to regular customers and big customers, and the shopkeepers who don't know the face often don't pay much attention to it, especially those who shop at lights, and they are dismissed with a few words.

Only those who look like real players will say a few more words and have the opportunity to develop long-term customers.Then there are those who come to sell things, and they will be more attentive when they have good things.

I went in and out of several stores, but I didn't find anything that was eye-catching. There are real things and good things, but the price is not ambiguous at all.

The three of them walked to the door of a shop that mainly deals in old wooden wares. Lin Fengcao wanted to go in again, but Yang Rui waved his hands, "You two go in and have a look, I'm smoking a cigarette outside."

In fact, Yu Yao wasn't very interested, "Well, Mr. Lin, look at it first, I'll smoke one too, and go in after I'm done." This means, if you come out before you finish smoking a cigarette, you can save yourself .

If you haven't come out by then, then you may see something, and it won't be too late to go in.

In the end, Yu Yao kept smoking until Lin Fengcao came out, so he went into the shop.

Going in and taking a look, Lin Fengcao really took a fancy to something and was negotiating the price with the shopkeeper.

This is a huanghuali matza from the Qing Dynasty, but the soft mat noodles are not original, but newly made; the material is beautiful, light yellow bran pear with patterns.

The price could not be negotiated. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses, and he refused to budge. "You get what you pay for. You can't buy good things at the price you said."

"Good things can cost more. But you, Maza, are about the size of a small worker, and the main reason is that the material is beautiful."

"To be honest, I'm really high on this thing, and I really can't lower it."

On this point, the shopkeeper did not lie, the price was indeed high and could not be lowered.This is not something like a batch of wooden bead strings. You have already made money before, and the last one or two pieces can even be sold at the cost price.It is impossible for this single old thing to go up and down.

"Forget it then." Lin Fengcao understood and was ready to leave.Yu Yao thought, well, it's better not to come in.

"Wait a minute, I still have old things that haven't been displayed, and they are even older, from the Ming Dynasty." The boss continued, "But——"

"What? Is it defective?" Lin Fengcao asked.

"That's not true, all beards and tails, but the price is much more expensive than this horse."

"As long as it's good." Lin Fengcao nodded, "What object, what material?"

"The top chair, made of red sandalwood, and with a carver..."

Before the boss finished speaking, Yu Yao turned his head and walked out of the store.

Lin Fengcao sighed, "Okay, don't read it, you are busy." After saying that, he walked out.

"Hey? What do you mean?" The boss yelled, but Lin Fengcao didn't turn his head back.

The two came out together, Yang Rui smiled and said, "It's been so long, is this the end of the negotiation?"

"The first one is, and the second one is unnecessary." Lin Fengcao waved his hand, "Let's go."

Lin Fengcao walked to the front, and Yang Rui asked Yu Yao from behind, "Don't look, what do you mean?"

"The boss said that there is a top-ranking piece from the Ming Dynasty, made of red sandalwood!" Yu Yao smiled, "Is this still worth looking at?"

Yang Rui is not a layman when it comes to wooden ware, but he is really not smart, "There are high-ranking chairs in the Ming Dynasty, and there are also a lot of red sandalwood furniture, why don't you take a look at it before leaving?"

"There has never been a red sandalwood top spot in history!" Yu Yao had no choice but to explain to him casually.

Most people are familiar with the word top spot, top spot.In fact, the top chair evolved from the Maza. It can sit and fold, and is easy to carry. It also has more armrests and backrests than the Maza, making it more comfortable to sit on.

The reason why the top chair has become synonymous with power is because it is easy to move and carry when hunting and traveling; if the emperor hunts and has a group of followers, during the rest, the top spot must be the emperor, and everyone else must also sit. There is a priority order according to identity.Gradually, the top chair has an additional meaning.

Since the top chair requires portability and mobility, the material must be as light as possible.Therefore, in history, the heaviest wood that can be used to make top chairs is huanghuali.Phoebe is more, strong and light.

But red sandalwood will definitely not be used, because red sandalwood is too heavy, obviously heavier than huanghuali.

Therefore, there has never been a top chair made of red sandalwood in ancient times.

The owner of the shop explained that the red sandalwood top spot in the era, so what a fart!Designation is a new job to do the old one.

The two were talking in the back, seeing Lin Fengcao stopped in front, and picked up something from a long table in front of a shop.
