Play treasure master

Chapter 574 If you miss the gold, you will get the silver medal

This is a Warring States bronze inlaid with gold and turquoise with a hook.

The hook is not only a practical tool, but also an ornament; clothing is different from ancient times, so it is not necessary to use it, but the size and shape of the hook are very suitable for play, so it can be regarded as a "bestseller".

This curved phoenix head with a hook is covered in gold, with a turquoise inlaid in the center of the hook surface and animal face patterns on the hook body.Casting, staggered gold, and inlay techniques are relatively complicated.

However, after Yu Yao took a few glances, he waved his hand lightly.

This is a modern imitation, and the level of imitation is extremely high; but it is still too late to hide it from Yu Yao's eyesight.

"Why?" Zhang Yiming also asked.

"I still like old things." Yu Yao replied lightly.

Zhang Yiming was slightly embarrassed.Although Yu Yao misunderstood that the golden flat pot was a real good thing, but he didn't know Yu Yao's eyesight very well, so he thought that this top-notch high-quality imitation Yu Yao could catch his eye.

Originally, Yu Yao had a good impression of Zhang Yiming, but seeing him bring him in, the first thing he wanted to do was to fool him, and a turning point happened immediately.

As the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance, whether high or low, good or bad, looking at the soft-spoken Zhang Yiming, he also has a cunning mind.

Zhang Yiming adjusted quickly. After putting down the wooden box, he quickly arranged the two brocade boxes without any pause, and opened them one after another.

Yu Yao remained calm on the surface, and took a quick look.

In the brocade box next to him, there is a "Xuande stove"; and in the other brocade box, which is relatively large, it contains a bronze gui with a height of more than 20 centimeters.

After reading it, Yu Yao thought to himself, no wonder he wanted to take a bronze and gold flat pot and put it outside, so there is nothing real except for this flat pot!Taking out a genuine boutique, saying that it cannot be sold, and then offering a bunch of high-quality imitations, it seems that they want to deceive one by one.

"Boss Zhang's Golden Pavilion really deserves its reputation. It's all bronze and gold." Yu Yao didn't comment on what Zhang Yiming brought out, but the meaning was already obvious, and after he finished speaking, he stood up slowly.

"Mr. Yu really has a good eye! It seems that ordinary things can't catch your eyes!" Zhang Yiming showed no embarrassment at this time, "There is one more thing that may satisfy Mr. Yu, that is, the price is too high a bit..."

"Boss Zhang is inconvenient, so don't read it, and I can't delay Boss Zhang's business, can I?" Yu Yao cupped his hands, "Why don't you be busy first, and I'll bother you when you have time?"

"Don't!" Zhang Yiming raised his hand, "Since I invited Mr. Yu in from the street... so, let's take a look! If you want it, I will give you the lowest price; if you still don't want it, at least I will It’s a decent thing, and Mr. Yu’s visit is not in vain if you appreciate it.”

After speaking, Zhang Yiming turned around and walked behind the counter without waiting for Yu Yao's answer.

Yu Yao lowered his head and lit a cigarette, thinking that this is not too bad, it will be a matter of minutes.

This time, Zhang Yiming brought over a very high-grade wooden box.

Although the wooden box is small, only the size of an adult's palm, it is made of high-quality red sandalwood, and the surface of the box is inlaid with gold and silver silk patterns of blessings and longevity.

Buddha depends on gold, people rely on clothes, and treasures depend on box packaging. Looking at this box, it seems that the things contained in it should not be bad.

This time, Zhang Yiming did not open it himself, but put the red sandalwood box in front of Yu Yao, "Mr. Yu, please!"

Yu Yao stretched out his hand to open it, this time he was not disappointed.

Inside is not bronze, but a silver medal.

Look, the length is [-] or [-] centimeters, the width is [-] or [-] centimeters, the shape is elliptical, and the head of the card is auspicious. And it feels more formal.

The decoration of this silver medal is quite exquisite.

On the head of the card is Xiangyun, and on both sides are "two dragons playing with pearls". It is not an ordinary dragon. The five-clawed dragon, dragon beard and dragon scales are all carved very delicately.

In the center of the card is a column of inscriptions: The Emperor Taishang bestowed pensions for the elderly.

There is also an inscription on the back: The feast of thousands of seniors in the Taiji Hall in the year of Bingchen weighs twelve taels.

It turned out to be a silver medal of the Qianlong Banquet for the Elderly.

This silver medal was held in Yu Yao's hands, it felt heavy and felt.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were 16 taels per catty, and one tael to thirty grams came to the fore. Ten taels is almost equivalent to more than six taels today.The face of the card said ten taels, and the weight of the brand was also the same.

If this silver medal of the Thousand Seniors Banquet is genuine, it is indeed a good thing.

In the year of Bingchen, the first year of Jiaqing, Qianlong had abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, so there was such an inscription on the plaque.

The emperor Qianlong can be regarded as the most "comfortable" emperor in Chinese history.He ascended the throne in his twenties, abdicated in his 80s, and served as the Supreme Emperor for three or four years; his grandfather Kangxi and father Yongzheng laid a solid foundation for him, and basically there are no major problems in governing the country.

When Qianlong was old, he complacently called "the perfect old man"; at the same time, he believed that the living conditions of the elderly could best reflect the state of a country.

So, in the first year of Jiaqing, that is, the year of Bingchen, he held a "thousand old people's feast" and gathered about [-] old people from all over the country to participate.

Qianlong rewarded every elderly person who attended the banquet with a silver medal.

Not all pension silver medals are the same, and they have different shapes and structures.This kind of "twelve taels" is the most common, and it is issued to people aged 74 to [-].

另外，75到79岁的，发的是“15两”；八十到84岁，发的是“20两”；85到89岁，发的是“25两”；90岁以上，发的是“30两”。

Don't think that there is a silver medal of 3000 yuan, and the one that "weights ten taels" is the most common and the most common.In fact, hundreds of years have passed, and now there is no silver medal of "20 taels" in the market today.

Only "15 taels" and "[-] taels" have been found.Even the "twelve taels", according to Yu Yao's knowledge and information, only exist in single digits on the market.

There was once a silver medal of the "Thousand Old People's Banquet" that "weighed ten taels" appeared at an auction, and the transaction price was as high as more than 100 million.

Needless to say, the material of this kind of silver medal is silver; although the craftsmanship value is exquisite, it is not considered a top art masterpiece; its value lies in the combination of special historical significance, cultural connotation, beautiful meaning, and collection psychology After that, it is easy to bid a high price.

After Yu Yao took a closer look, he asked, "Boss Zhang, you said the price is high, how can you be so arrogant?"

"If Mr. Yu wants it, I will report it."

"Whether I want it or not depends on the price."

"Okay, have fun, 180!"

When Yu Yao heard it, good guy, this is higher than the hammer price at the auction!

"Boss Zhang, I can't afford this price."

"Then Mr. Yu, let me listen to it?"

"I still can't pay back the price you asked for."

"Excessive asking price, just sit back and pay back the money. If you want, you can still discuss it!" Zhang Yiming is still very energetic in doing business, no matter how small the opportunity is, it is still an opportunity.
