Chapter 519 The Heavy Wooden Box

Hearing what Lao Qiu said, Yu Yao just smiled in response.

In fact, Lao Qiu had already been taught a lesson about buying the "Chen Yinsheng Copper Ink Cartridge".Now, Lao Qiu came to the door to show his kindness. In the future, he would say that he would not deal with him, but in front of his eyes, he would not hit the smiling face.

After Lao Qiu finished speaking, he sat down, then took out a cigarette and handed him a cigarette.

After lighting a cigarette, Lao Qiu slowly took a puff, "Boss Yu, when you are in the industry, there is always a high level and a low level of vision. I have shallow eyesight, and I can't see things clearly. Because you said it was an old imitation, I came here on purpose." please teach me."

Yu Yao was a bit picky, and Lao Qiu talked about the matter, and he didn't hold it when he just talked about things, and simply talked about the identification on the copper ink cartridge.

"I am taught, I am taught." After listening to Lao Qiu, he cupped his hands, "Thank you, Boss Yu, for your guidance."

After finishing speaking, Lao Qiu didn't leave, but just smoked with a smile on his face.

But those who can bend and stretch are always not so simple in their minds. Apart from Lao Qiu's desire to show favor, Yu Yao can't see anything else for the time being, but it's not easy to drive people away directly.

After smoking for a while, Lao Qiu chatted up again, "Did Boss Yu live in Jiangzhou for generations?"

"I don't know if it's far away. According to my father, at least my grandfather grew up in Jiangzhou."

"Oh, then I'm considered an outsider. My grandfather was originally from the north. He joined the army in the 40s and settled in Jiangzhou after liberation. My grandfather had a second brother, my uncle, who later went to Taiwan. Then Bian is different from Dalu, he changed his surname and removed the word Qiu from his ears."

Yu Yao was really bored by Lao Qiu's gossip, but when he mentioned Qiu's and Qiu's surnames, Yu Yao also knew, "Yeah, there was no Qiu's surname at first, and the original Qiu's surname was added right to avoid Confucius' taboo. Er, I have another surname."

Avoiding taboos is a tradition in China, but there are light and heavy ones.In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongzheng issued a special edict, saying that in order to respect teachers and respect the Tao, the name of Confucius should be taboo, so Qiu's surname was changed to "Qiu".

After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, some people changed it back by themselves. Later, the well-known member of the Republic of China Qiu Fengjia publicly suggested that the surname Qiu originated from Jiang Ziya's fief "Yingqiu", which was earlier than "Kongqiu", and his name should not be avoided. name taboo, calling for the restoration of Qiu's surname.However, since then, mainly people from Taiwan Island and some Fujian and Guangdong areas have changed, and most provinces and cities have not changed, and still maintain the Qiu surname.

"Huaxia pays attention to avoiding taboos, ha ha." Lao Qiu heard that Yu Yao knew, and followed with a smile, "If it wasn't for avoiding the name of Liu Bang's wife, maybe there is no such thing as a pheasant now!"

He was right. Before the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as a pheasant, and they all said "pheasant". However, the wife of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was called Lu pheasant, so she had to avoid it, so she changed it to a pheasant verbally.

However, Yu Yao didn't answer any more, just nodded.He didn't want to gossip with Lao Qiu all the time. While nodding, he took out his mobile phone to check the time.

In fact, there are no guests at the moment, and Yu Yao has nothing to do for the time being.

Lao Qiu saw it, and immediately said again, "Oh, Boss Guanghe Yu is chatting, actually, I have one more thing I want to talk to Boss Yu."

"Boss Qiu just say it."

"I don't know if Boss Yu accepts things?"

"Does Boss Qiu have something to sell?"

"Yeah, I haven't found a suitable buyer. After I met Boss Yu, I thought that Boss Yu has great eyesight. I might as well let you take a look."

Yu Yao looked at the bag that Lao Qiu put aside, the bag was not big, it was similar to a computer bag, and it didn't look too bulky, "Boss Qiu brought it?"

"Then Boss Yu will take a look first?" Lao Qiu said, and opened the bag.

Yu Yao thought to himself, could it be that this old Qiu wanted to "save the country with curves"?As long as he accepts his things, he will go out and say that he has done business with him, and then sell the cupronickel ink cartridge, but there will be someone to say.Even if Pu Jie let it out and said that he would not accept it after seeing it, Lao Qiu could say that he confiscated it because he gave it to him.

Lao Qiu took out a small square wooden box, and took out a small red rattle statue from the wooden box.

This rattle statue is originally a shape on porcelain. It is shaped like an upside-down bell with a long neck, so it got its name.The rattle statue is a type of utensil only after Kangxi, because the "long neck" on it is not easy to burn, so the yield is not high.

The rattle statue that Lao Qiu took out was not made of porcelain, but made of red material, that is, a red material vessel.To put it bluntly, the feeder is glass, but with some coloring materials added, the process is more complicated.

Yu Yao took a closer look, and found that this red rattle statue was a palace artifact from the Guangxu period. It may not be very expensive, but it is not a good thing either. The current market price is roughly within tens of thousands.

The things are real, but they are not very valuable, Yu Yao confirmed his own thoughts even more.Lao Qiu did this, firstly, to draw closer to the relationship, and secondly, it can remove the obstacle of selling the cupronickel ink cartridge.

"Boss Qiu, the stuff is good. It's a pity, I don't do this kind of feeder business!"

"Oh?" Lao Qiu was slightly taken aback, "It is said that Boss Yu has all-round eyesight, but he never refuses anyone who comes to antiques, why?"

"I really can't take this thing." Yu Yao didn't explain, and got up slowly, "Boss Qiu, I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment today. It's almost time, I have to go out."

Lao Qiu played too much with his eyes.This cupronickel ink cartridge is an old imitation, and Yu Yao has already identified it. Lao Qiu knew that it was impossible to make Yu Yao change his mind, but he came up with such a trick again, which made Yu Yao lose even the patience for hypocrisy on the surface.

"This? Look, it almost delays Boss Yu's business. Well, hurry up and talk later." Lao Qiu had no choice but to put away his things.

I don't know if it was because he was a little flustered when he realized that he was seen through, Lao Qiu held the rattle statue in one hand, and went to get the wooden box with the other, but he didn't hold the wooden box properly and dropped it.

The wooden box touched the edge of the table, and then fell down.

Yu Yao happened to glance at it at this time, and the position was also favorable, so he quickly copied it with his hand and seized the small wooden box.

After copying this, Yu Yao suddenly felt something was wrong.

This wooden box is not big, and the wood looks like black rosewood, so Yu Yao didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after he got it, it was a bit heavy, it didn't feel like black rosewood, black rosewood should not be so heavy.

Black rosewood is also a kind of mahogany. Some people used to call it big-leaf red sandalwood, but later, in order to distinguish small-leaf red sandalwood, the standard name in the national standard became black rosewood.

The proportion of black rosewood and small-leaf red sandalwood is similar, but even small-leaf red sandalwood should not be so heavy.

Of course, whether it is heavy or not is not the obvious deviation like wood and stone, it is just slightly heavier, but for a master like Yu Yao, he will know it once he tries it.

After Yu Yao picked it up, he took advantage of the opportunity to look inside the box.The lid of the box is still made of wood, and a thick piece of yellow flannelette is placed on the bottom of the box, but it is not fixed.When Lao Qiu took it, Yu Yao didn't look carefully, it should be wrapped with this piece of yellow flannel.

Yu Yao took out the flannelette without any hassle, exposing the bottom of the box, the bottom is also made of black rosewood, nothing abnormal can be seen.However, this wooden box is obviously not tailor-made for the rattle statue.
