Play treasure master

Chapter 282
"Boss, this hanging screen of yours is very pretty, why don't you place it more conspicuously, but instead fold it upside down?" Yu Yao opened his mouth while squatting down.

"Hey, it was on display just now, but it turned out to be two yuan in total. Someone insisted on buying only one piece, and after paying for it, I took advantage of the situation and put it aside!" The round-faced stall owner explained with a happy expression on his face. "Do you like it? I want to give you a cheaper price."

"A pair?" Yu Yao secretly exclaimed that it was a pity, "Which one also has the same pattern?"

"It's different! This piece is close to mountains and far away, and that one is far away. But the jade materials used are similar, including Hetian jade, Xiu jade, carnelian, Beijing white jade, jadeite and so on."

Yu Yao deliberately asked, "How can there be jade on this hanging screen?"

"How can you look carefully after just a few glances?" The stall owner pointed to the pagoda, "Here, isn't it?"

Yu Yao's heart skipped a beat, "Black jadeite?"

"Look, let me go to class again." The stall owner gestured, "This is Mo Cui, it looks black, and it's still green when lit!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yao felt relieved.

This is indeed emerald, but it is not Mo Cui, it is much rarer than Mo Cui!
Of course, it's worth more.

Because this is a piece of black-bone chicken jadeite, the color looks similar to ink jade, but the "species" are different.

The species of Mocui are very common, and can be summarized with conventional ice species and glutinous species, so it looks black on the surface, but it is still green when lit.

But the black-bone chicken species is different. The black-bone chicken species is a separate "species". It looks black on the surface, but it is still black when lit.

In other words, black jadeite.

Of course, black-bone chicken jade is also graded.Only pure black ones are truly rare, and grayish green ones are relatively cheap.On the market, most of them are "black-bone chicken species" that are unevenly black or even spotted.

Different from the general black-bone chicken jadeite, the pure black black-bone chicken jadeite has another name called black enchantress.

This is also because the luster of pure black black-bone jadeite is different from the glass luster of ordinary jadeite, and it also has a greasy luster. Such a situation is considered "heterogeneous" among jadeites.

The pagoda on this hanging screen is made of black-bone chicken jade, and it has reached the level of a black enchantress!

The black enchantress is very rare, even rarer than the glass species, and its rarity is second only to the aloof "Dragonstone species".Therefore, the price can be imagined.

Merchants often carry common black-bone chicken jadeite, also called black enchantress, and the prices are also called high or low.

But for a real black enchantress, such a small piece of material the size of a pagoda would cost more than a million!

The stall owner regarded it as an ordinary ink, and the price difference was even greater; such a small piece of ink, even if it is a high-quality goods, a few thousand yuan is enough.

This hanging screen is from the period of the Republic of China. Perhaps the stall owner didn't pay much attention to it because the other jade stones were too ordinary.

Since the stall owner didn't see it, how could Yu Yao not pick up the leak?

However, he still asked first, "There is also 'Mo Cui' on the hanging screen you sold?"

"No, the hanging screen is a distant mountain inlaid with green jadeite, and there is nothing else on the mountain; this one is a nearby mountain of Hetian green jade, and a pagoda is inlaid on the top of the mountain."

"Why did he pick that hanging screen?"

The stall owner smiled, "How do I know why he chose that one?"

Yu Yao didn't ask any more questions. Since that person was so picky, he didn't understand that the pagoda on the hanging screen was a black enchantress.

For some unknown reason, the buyer insisted on picking one piece, but since this piece was kept, it was Yu Yao's luck.If Yu Yao buys it, even if he doesn't see anything particularly precious, he just likes hanging screens, and he won't be singled out, he will definitely buy a pair.

"Oh, this person is very interesting. I really like the hanging screens, but it's a pity that I took a pair apart."

"Actually, why did I agree to disassemble and sell it? Because this hanging screen is a horizontal strip, not a vertical strip, and it looks good when hung alone. And each can be regarded as a separate pattern, and it is not something that can be combined or strongly related. of."

"What you said makes sense." Yu Yao nodded.The stall owner was also quite interesting. Most people would not tell the truth about the fact that there was a couple, but he didn't hide it, and even introduced his views in a serious manner.

Saying that, Yu Yao handed the stall owner a cigarette, "Then I'll take it, can you give me a floor price?"

The stall owner took the cigarette and lit it, "It's the same as the rabbit charm, if I lose [-], I will lose money."

"How much did you sell for the other piece?" Yu Yao asked with a smile.For this kind of question, the stall owner is unlikely to tell the truth, just laying the groundwork before bargaining.And Yu Yao has nothing to do for the time being, he mainly waits for Wu Chen to call back, so that he can grind it out.

"[-]!" The stall owner said right away, "I'll give you only [-], isn't that interesting?"

It also costs [-] yuan, so the hanging screen is naturally very different from the rabbit charm.The jade material of this hanging screen is real, the inlay technology is good, and it has a certain year, which is something from the period of the Republic of China.

"If I want to pay back two hundred, you won't be in a hurry, will you?"

"Extravagant asking prices, sitting idle and spending money, I'm in a hurry, that looks so amateurish, besides, you can't do it!"

"Okay, you've said so much, and I'll be honest, 1 yuan, how about it?"

"Big brother, if you dig out these jades, they can be worth [-] yuan, right? The frame, the lacquer base, and the workmanship are all good. You can't make me lose money!"

"I just said that it's an amateur or not—it's not a handicraft, and the cost can't be calculated that way. Maybe you collected it from a village for thousands of dollars?"

"You're really good! I said you're not wandering around and you still don't admit it!"

The price they negotiated was mixed with nonsense, and in the end, Yu Yao won the hanging screen for [-] yuan.

The stall owner wrapped it in a foam bag, even the handle, and fixed it with scotch tape.The service is in place.

Yu Yao carried the hanging screen and continued to stroll around. After walking a few steps, Wu Chen called back.

"Fall asleep in the office just now." When Wu Chen spoke, he yawned.

"Huh? How can you be so slack during working hours?"

"Are you imitating Ju Yang's tone?" Wu Chen said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"Can you check on Shangguan Yu for me?"

"Why are you checking him?"

"Isn't he well-connected in calligraphy and painting? I'm in the antique business, and the channel to receive calligraphy and painting is the most difficult." Yu Yao definitely can't talk about ghost eyes.

"What do you want to check?"

"Is the source of his calligraphy and paintings reliable? How come there are so many? Are they inherited from the family? Or were they purchased overseas?"

"It's hard to find out. We paid attention to him, but there was no result. However, it should not be inherited from the ancestors. Of course, I didn't talk too much when Guan Yuanli mentioned him last time, but in fact, I know that his father is a college student of workers, peasants and soldiers, and his family definitely It’s not a big family; his mother was also from a worker’s family, and she went to the United States to study later, and she may have divorced his father because she didn’t want to come back.”

Wu Chen continued, "However, I don't know how his mother developed in the United States. She may be very rich and bought a lot of good things overseas; moreover, he has been back to China for several years. How much has he collected after returning to China? It's hard to say."

"So you know so much!"

"These are learned incidentally, but they are not of much use to us. We also want to know more about his collection, but we only know a few pieces that have been displayed to the outside world."

Wu Chen paused, "By the way, his father's surname is not Shangguan."
