Chapter 413 A false alarm

"The craftsmanship of this box is very good, and the wood inside must also be of good material!" The stall owner was young, in his thirties, with a well-trimmed beard and personality.

Lin Fengcao coughed, but Yu Yao just nodded and didn't answer.

Really good wood, how can it be painted?No matter whether he doesn't understand or fools people, there is no need to say more.

Still, the box was a decent thing, too.According to Yu Yao's observation, this should be from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the paint is very smooth and smooth.

The most important thing is that the mother-of-pearl inlay on the box cover is not low.

The mother-of-pearl is mostly white, and the mother-of-pearl is inlaid with black lacquer, which is a classic craft since the Tang and Song Dynasties.In ancient times, the word mother-of-pearl means shell mosaic, snail is shell, and tin is mosaic.But today, mother-of-pearl has become a special term, referring specifically to things like shells and fish bones.

This small box is the cover of heaven and earth, Yu Yao directly took off the top cover, and found that the inside is also black paint.

However, in the center of the bottom of the box, there is a semi-circular protrusion with a bottom diameter of about two centimeters. The top is not black paint, but a nearly transparent "glue-like paint" thing.

And this semicircular protrusion seems to be embedded in the bottom of the box.That is, it should be a bead.

Through the almost transparent surface, one can vaguely feel that the color of this bead is a bit like the true color of bronze.The true color of bronze is not blue, but mainly yellowish, slightly darker.

But the color of this bead is separated by a layer of "membrane". It's just a bit similar. It seems to have a metallic feel, but the color is darker and a little purple. It seems more appropriate to describe it as "black gold". .

Because of the bump in the middle, it looks like a box for bracelets.

Seeing Yu Yao inspecting the beads at the bottom of the box, the stall owner said again, "Maybe there is a wooden bead of purple pear inlaid underneath!"

Yu Yao smiled, "A small-sized purple pear bead is not worth much. But this lacquer box is still quite beautiful. It would be interesting to buy a bracelet and give it along with it."

"That's right! This box is not suitable for ordinary bracelets! And it's an old box!" The stall owner replied.

Yu Yao had almost read it at this time. Seeing that Lin Fengcao was inconvenient to read, after carefully handing it to him, he said to the stall owner, "What's the old way?"

"I think at least it was in the Qianlong Dynasty. There were so many skilled craftsmen at that time!"

Yu Yao squeezed his chin, took out a cigarette, and handed one to the stall owner.

"Good cigarettes!" The stall owner Xinxin picked up some, "My friend, you are here to travel for the Chinese New Year, right? Be careful, I will earn less! Just like you said, buy another bracelet, Go back and give it away, a sharp weapon for picking up girls!"

"Then how much can you pay at least?"

"This thing, I received it from a rich family, and it's a good thing handed down. It's not cheap! Actually, I wanted to give it to the antique city, because there are not many connoisseurs in this spontaneous market, and many people rush to buy it. Wooden utensils." The stall owner babbled, "Make up the whole number, you can give it [-]!"

"Why is eighteen thousand a whole number?"

"I cut it for you first. The whole number of [-] is cut into [-], which sounds nice."

Yu Yao couldn't help laughing, "Then cut off ten thousand and then eight thousand, wouldn't it work?"

"Just for the craftsmanship of mother-of-pearl inlays, eight thousand is not enough!" The stall owner took a puff of cigarette, "I didn't play tricks on you. There are not many such things in this market. They are old enough and well-crafted. It hasn't been damaged yet. You want to buy a good bracelet these days, but it's worth 20 or [-]? This box, a good horse with a good saddle!"

Yu Yao fell silent.

Lin Fengcao said, "I think eight thousand is too high, three or five thousand is about the same."

The stall owner grinned, "Two fists can't beat four hands. I can't resist the two of you working together to bargain."

Yu Yao thought for a while, then stretched out a finger, "You said the round number, I won't cut it too much, if it's [-], it will be successful, if not, I'll go and buy a high-quality huanghuali bracelet box, it will only cost so much .”

"I can't even collect [-] yuan!" The stall owner looked "difficult".

Lin Fengcao unceremoniously nodded at the things on his stall, "Is there anything more expensive than this box on your stall?"

"This brother's words are enough to choke people!" The stall owner frowned.

Yu Yao laughed and said, "The truth is often not pleasant."

"Hey! So you're saying that my [-] is not true?"

"Okay!" Yu Yao took out his phone, "[-] is fine, I'll transfer the money to you right away, how about it?"

The stall owner still hesitated, Lin Fengcao put down the box and got up directly.Yu Yao also got up, "My friend is impatient, I can't do it, I have to go!"

The stall owner looked at the two of them and smiled, "You said this..."

Lin Fengcao turned around, and Yu Yao also turned around.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you! There were too many overstocks a year ago, and I have to pay back the money!" The stall owner agreed.

At this time, a man and a woman came over. Both men and women were about forty years old. After the man squatted down, he picked up the box.

Just as Yu Yao turned around, he hadn't swiped the QR code handed by the stall owner.

Yu Yao muttered inwardly that it was not good.Lin Fengcao's expression remained unchanged, but she could not help clenching a fist with one hand.

When the two turned around, they looked at one side at the same time, but unexpectedly, a man and a woman quickly came over from the other side.

The stall owner looked at Yu Yao, and said to the man, "Sir, he has negotiated a price for this box, and he will pay for it soon."

That's what I said!Not to mention that it has been sold, it means there is still a chance.

Yu Yao coughed, with a displeased face, and said to the stall owner, "How did you do it?"

At this moment, the man spoke first, "How much?"

The stall owner cupped his hands at Yu Yao, and then said to the man, "The price I negotiated with him is [-]."

Unexpectedly, when the man heard this, he put down the box in a hurry, and walked away with the woman, muttering, "Steal money!"

It turned out to be a layman, just looking at it casually for the sake of beauty.

Yu Yao knelt down and picked up the box again, but he didn't transfer the money immediately, he weighed it in his hand, "They said you stole money."

The stall owner cursed, "It turned out to be a stick!"

"According to the rules, I can't even buy this item at the original price." Yu Yao smiled lightly, "You won't let it go?"

"Small business, don't worry about it with me! I'm a big fan of money, so I will definitely give you the lowest price for anything you like."

In fact, it was also because of a false alarm that Yu Yao calmed down and just smiled after hearing what the stall owner said.After scanning the QR code, I entered [-], "The things I bought don't even look down on sticks, so let's forget about everything else."

Yu Yao took the box and left the stall with Lin Fengcao.

"Do you understand the beads inside?" Lin Fengcao asked in a low voice after walking a certain distance.
