Chapter 145 Emerald Cabbage (4)
The gray-bearded old man looked closely and said, "Why is there no porcelain body at the bottom of the washbasin, but there are chiseled silver pieces inlaid where the body should be? Why?"

"Old Huang, take a look, this is something from the Imperial Palace. The silver inlay on the bottom is unique and exquisite, it is a rich man's style, it is a status symbol, and it shows that it is genuine." The owner of the shop is really a master of antiques. .

The respected Huang Lao couldn't help nodding: "You're right. Give me all these things, how much do you want?"

"I don't dare to drive too much for Mr. Huang. If you take 22, you can add 25 if you like it, and make it [-]?"

"If it's in a pair, it's worth a lot. There should be another one of this Zizi?" Mr. Huang was not in a hurry to haggle over the price.

The owner of the shop was anxious, and he couldn't show any signs of emotion, so he could only smile and say, "It's unlikely to find a pair today, only one, and it's not easy to find a good one."

"Well, I'll take the 15 yuan. If it doesn't work, we can talk about it." Huang Lao slashed at it.

The shopkeeper seemed to be irritated, his face flushed red and he held back for a long time without saying a word.Turning around and seeing Jin Qi looking around, he turned away and said, "What does this guy want to buy?" This is actually a way to cool off the excessive bargaining.

Jin Qi hurriedly said, "Just take a look, the owner can take care of the business first."

The shopkeeper sighed: "Business is hard to do. You can still make business by bargaining for real things and fake things?" Breaking the water tank and seeping through, the words of course refer to the gray-bearded old man.

Huang Lao held his breath, stroked his long gray beard and said to Jin Qi: "Little brother, you seem to be an expert, what do you think of this wash?"

This is a round brush washer with a drum nail on the mouth, a three-legged cloud head, and a diameter of about 25 centimeters.There is no porcelain body at the bottom of the washing son, but it is inlaid with chiseled silver pieces. If the body is not visible, there will be one less important evidence to distinguish the authenticity.The dark gray color and tight texture of the Song Jun kiln porcelain body are a major feature, which is different from the kiln mouth products of previous generations.Now that the exposed area is covered by the silver sheet, another feature of the thick glaze of the Jun kiln cannot be clearly seen. Based on these, the authenticity of the Xizi is self-evident.Jin Qi knows it well without getting started. If this is the real thing, let alone [-], adding a zero is worth it!Looking at the so-called "rainy and sunny" sky-blue glaze color, you can guess that the high-quality imitation is not as good, and the shopkeeper's feigned anger and cold treatment are just a show.However, this cannot be said directly!After pondering for a long time, he said: "Novice, I can't say well, I'm leaving." After speaking, he turned and left, and slowed down after a dozen steps.

After a while, Mr. Huang really hurried out of Zhibaozhai, saw Jin Qi at a glance, and said cheerfully: "Young man, are you guarding the old man?"

"Old Huang really understands people." Jin Qi praised.

Huang Lao stroked his beard and smiled: "It's obvious that you walk away without saying anything. But the old man still wants to ask why you think Xizi is fake?"

Jin Qi asked back: "Mr. Huang has done it before, is it heavy?"

"generally."

"That's it. The Song Jun kiln's body glaze is thick, and it is much heavier than the same porcelain, and vice versa is not true. Besides, inlaying silver pieces is a deceitful act, which can explain the problem even more."

Jin Qi went on to enumerate in detail the many outstanding features of the real Jun wares, which made Huang Lao stunned for a while.His eyes were full of admiration, and he said with a smile, "Fortunately, the little brother was there, otherwise I would probably buy it. Little brother has good eyesight, is he in the antique business?"

"It's half of it. I also learned to do some business like gems."

"Oh, it's not easy, it's better than my apprentices. Come, find a place to sit down and talk." Huang Lao pulled the golden flag and left.There is a small teahouse within a few steps, and the business is light and there are few people.The two found a corner to sit down and ordered two pots of tea.Huang Lao took off a jade pendant from his neck, and a string of jade beads on his wrist, and pushed the two items along the glass table in front of Jin Qi, saying, "See if these are real or not? How about the quality?"

Jin Qi murmured in his heart, is there such a thing as a tester?He first picked up the jade pendant and looked at it twice, then put it down; then picked up the bead string and pondered it carefully for a while, then put it down.Looking at the red-threaded old eyes of the other party, he said: "The jade pendant is a high imitation of Ming Zigang brand from the Qing Dynasty. Although the carving and shape are very similar, the jade material is too good to be true. Most of the materials used in Lu Zigang's brand are green and white jade, and he pays attention to 'blue and white jade'. "Being a man", so the material of Zigang card is average, and the workmanship is exquisite. This card is made by the master of the Qing Dynasty. A masterpiece handed down from generation to generation worth more than 20 yuan is rare." Holding it in both hands, he carefully returned the Zi Gangpei to Huang Lao.

Then he continued: "Bracelet jade beads are modern handicrafts. The beads are made of emerald 'Green in the Snow' bean seed material, which is average. But the bracelet is engraved with the words 'Huang Lao Playing'. It is tailor-made and has commemorative meaning, so it is also It should be worth collecting. Honestly speaking, Gao Fangzi’s Gang Pei is not as good as the two, and it is a valuable treasure passed down from generation to generation.”

Huang Lao nodded again and again: "Expert's theory, expert's theory! The jade pendant was given to me by my eldest apprentice, and it cost 32 yuan at auction. This jade pendant is fat and colorful, and it feels moist when worn. The bracelet is ashamed Yes, I bought it myself at Pan’s Courtyard and Yufang, and it seems to be expensive. I always thought that ice plants are green and green!”

The two chatted for another hour, and then Mr. Huang took the golden flag to visit the Pan's courtyard.Although Jin Qi didn't make a move to buy a Dongsha, after all, he saw the largest antique market in the whole country, regardless of whether it was real or not.Jin Qi treats guests for lunch, and they parted ways after eating. He was in a hurry to see little sister XJ.When he turned the corner and there was no one there, Mr. Huang suddenly remembered how he forgot to ask the young man's name!Is the rare fate broken?

Take a car to the International Art Mall not far away. The driver is a chatterbox owner. When he sees a customer rushing to the mall, he flicks away: "BJ is the most fashionable now to play jade, playing with Hetian jade. Like Mr. Hailan sweater, if there is a good jade pendant It's both physically injured and elegant. I'm familiar with the mall, and I can't go wrong with my eyes closed. If you want to buy jade, sir, you should be careful, but you won't buy fake jade that is dyed or filled with glue. .”

Jin Qi asked casually: "How is the market for Hetian jade now?"

The driver yelled: "It's going up! Double the price! Last year's better Ziyu was 25 yuan per kilogram, and it turned over again after the New Year. There is no market for Ziyu at 50 yuan per kilogram. Beautiful jade is calculated by gram, one gram is 1000, do the math, isn’t it [-] million without a kilogram? My God, it’s crazy! The mice are all cats as bridesmaids!”

Jin Qi is also very emotional, and the Hetian jade market will collapse sooner or later like this.This is not love of jade and jade, but copying and profiteering, and like other copied commodities, it ends up in a dilemma.The car arrived at the gate of the shopping mall, paid and got off, the driver was still chasing after him to introduce business, Jin Qi waved his hand and declined.I visited seven or eight shops randomly, and bought an ivory sculpture for 3000 yuan. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I just like it anyway.Seeing a piece of Hetian jade, the size of a fist, the asking price is 38, which is scary!

Keep going, hey!There was a group of people around the corner in front, the voices were loud, and it turned out that Yuzi was arguing with his hands on his hips!The subject was a short, stocky man with a pockmarked face.Yuzi's crescent eyebrows were flying, her almond eyes were round, her face was red, and she was pointing at the man and scolding: "My surname is Chen, Yuzi is not afraid of others being afraid of you bullying me! If there are any poisonous tricks, let the horse come over and try, if the aunt says no Words, 'handed down masterpiece' as you take!"

"Woman, you want to die if you don't sell a piece of jade for 100 million yuan! If you want to die, I, Chen Mazi, will make it happen for you. Today, let's try it out!" It's really a flyover.

After listening to scolding and other people's gossip for a while, Jin Qi realized that Yuzi's "Hetian Meiyufang" had a piece of fine jade, which was known as "a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation".Many people want to buy it at a high price, but Yuzi just doesn't sell it.Chen Mazi is a gangster in the area, and he is good at everything. The merchants in the mall are afraid of him and let him three points, so Chen Mazi is even more attractive.This guy took advantage of the fact that Yuzi was not in the store yesterday and dropped a check for 100 million yuan and left, saying that he would come to pick up the "masterpiece handed down from generation to generation" today.Yuzi didn't sell the money, one didn't sell, and the other bought it by force, and a quarrel broke out.

Jin Qi knew at a glance that Chen Mazi was Yin Yangjun's gunhead, and said that he was really no match for the fit Yuzi.So I stood leisurely and watched the fun with a smile on my face, wondering why a piece of jade material was named "Masterpiece Handed Down" in my mind?

The phone rang, and it was Dragon Drinking Water.

The voice of the dragon drinking water on the phone was a bit deafening, and he seemed very excited: "Brother didn't say anything, just check it out! As expected, a 2.5 cm long, very thin jade thorn was inserted into Zhang Shuai's spinal cord on the detector, which hindered the central nervous system and paralyzed him." It was caused by this ghost thing. Now the hospital is designing a surgery plan, and if it goes well, the surgery will be performed in about a week. You guessed it right, Zhang Shuai must thank you very much in the future."

Jin Qi hurriedly asked, "Did Zhang Li get caught?"

"Hey, this guy is a ghost. He has already been invited to the criminal police team of the sub-bureau, but he accidentally slipped away again, and now he is trying his best to arrest him. However, Zhang Shuai's wife has already confessed the fact that Zhang Shuai was murdered by Zhang Shuai. Weeping bitterly and admitting that I lost my head. It’s a pity that it’s too late to regret it. My sympathetic uncle poisoned my husband. He is completely a modern version of Pan Jinlian. How hateful!” Long Yinshui cursed a few foul words, and then said: “Brother, you Could it be that you really know fortune-telling? You can guess the truth in criminal cases that have been put aside for half a year, my God! Seventh sister is not half-believing now, she is 200% trusting in your divine fortune-telling! Haha, when will you tell me the fortune-telling day? Oh, and speaking of money, bro, when's the [-] million check coming?"

Jin Qi said with a smile: "The investigation fees for the two cases are charged according to the club's standard. I will deduct as much as I want, and I will return the rest when we meet. Anyway, if you win, the brothers will have a good meal at that time."

"Should I collect money from him for Zhang Shuai's case?"

"Forget it, Ruyi Jinhou has been tossing Zhang Li to the point that Zhang Shuai and I are destined to have a drink in Heshi, and I will pay for it."

Long Drinking Water is also a cheerful person: "Okay, 20 has been deducted, and I have 180 million left. I'll see if my brother will come to my shop some other day to make one or two deals. Maybe the money will never be returned!"

"It's fine, as long as there's something worth buying. I figured it out for Brother Long, and you're going to insist on paying for my things, and you're begging to pay." Jin Qi flickered.

Obviously stunned, Long Drinking Water asked on the phone: "Could it be that Brother Jin has a good product to sell?"

He is really a person who can move his head when he steps on his tail. Jin Qi smiled to whet his appetite: "The secret must not be leaked. Let's talk about the second investigation."

Long Drinking Water said seriously: "The situation of Wen's family is not complicated. The situation of the old man's decoration chain company is not good recently. Half of the [-] branches in Hebei Province are losing money, and the furniture factory is caught in a fire. Therefore, Wen's Decoration is in a precarious period. The daughter is a lawyer. She has recently changed her career to jewelry. She is very good. I don’t know the details. The most complicated thing is that my son Wen Sheng has a drug addiction. His daughter is also unclear. I heard that Wen Sheng was rescued from Shanghai by someone. This person is very prominent and has a great background. He may be the son of a leader named Chen in Shanghai and a classmate of Wen Sheng. What's more important is that this person has The large decoration orders at the entrances of the expressways near Shanghai are the God of Wealth in the eyes of Mr. Wen. This is all I have learned from this morning, and I will go into details tomorrow.”

There is another function behind the scenes of the Adventure Club, which is private detective.When Jin Qi got to know him at the banquet table last night, he immediately placed an order, which was the Ruyi Jinlou Murder Order.When Ruyi Jinlou learned that Zhang Li replaced Zhang Shuai, his "state of mind" learned the truth from the knowledge sea of ​​the store manager who came forward to prevent him from making inquiries.At the beginning, he didn't want to interfere. To be honest, it's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong in the grievances between big families, and it's okay to cause trouble with just acquaintances. The society is very ugly, can you manage it?But when he met Zhang Li in the adventure club, he decided to take action when he knew that Zen Gate was the backstage of the murderer.It is easy to deal with the crime if it is clear in the chest. That night, Long Drinking water was entrusted to report the crime, and at the same time, he snatched Zhang Shuai who was half dead at home and sent him to the hospital for examination and treatment. It seems that this plan has been successfully completed today.Rescuing Zhang Shuai can be regarded as doing his best, and I am also happy about this.Wen's investigation was based on listening to Fengjuan's unintentional remarks last night, and always felt that there was something behind Wenchang?So early in the morning, he gave Long Drinking Water another order to investigate Wen's family. 10 yuan per order, really dark!But also very effective.The reason why Wenchang was eager to distribute the profits and took away his share seems to have a lot to do with the embarrassment of the family business.

The phone call ended, and the quarrelsome people dispersed.Sometimes it's like this, if you come across a rogue, it must be a good effect if you come to "rogue".

The crowd dispersed slowly, and Jin Qi stepped into the "Hetian Meitian Square" in front of a store.Although the store is small, the layout is well organized.There are dozens of large and small jade ornaments placed in the glass counter. The quality is average, and many of them are not real Hetian jade.Among them is a piece of beautiful jade about four kilograms. Jin Qi can confirm at a glance that such a clean and white jade product comes from the "Fu Yuchi" of the ancient jade cave for thousands of years.I have been selling large pieces of jade from "Chuyuchi", and the exquisite jade from "Fuyuchi" is sold as high-quality suet, and now the price is as high as 50 yuan per kilogram.So far, more than 70.00% of the "Chu Yuchi" materials have been consumed, and several big businesses are all done by Yue Mengyu Xiao Yaxian. 40.00% of the best products in "Fuyuchi" are also used, but of course they are reluctant to sell because of their preciousness.And the real beautiful jade, that is, the masterpiece "Chengyu Pond" treasured in the Tianshi Jie, has only been seen by Guan Shan, and only three pieces have been released.It's not that I cherish the gems in "Chengyu Pond" too much, but that the goods in "Fuyu Pond" are already scary enough!There are few comparable jade materials on the market, so once the "Chengyuchi" jade product is known to the world, it will definitely cause a sensation. Jin Qi just doesn't like to be too ostentatious.

Could it be that this piece of beautiful jade in front of you is a "masterpiece handed down from generation to generation"?
"Sir, do you want to buy jade?" A girl came forward.

Jin Qi felt very strange, seeing Yuzi rushing into the store in a hurry, and disappeared as soon as he turned around?Where can the little shop be hidden?He couldn't help asking: "I saw your boss come in just now, where is he?"

Just as he was asking, a cheer burst out from above his head: "Brother Jin, Yuzi is here!" Then a telescopic ladder fell from the ceiling, and the tall Yuzi was stepping down with his waist arched, and there were only two steps left to wait. It's not as good as throwing his head into the arms of Jin Qi.Afraid that she would fall, I hurriedly hugged her.Jin Qi laughed and said, "Yuzi still has a small secret library?"

"I live in the store at night, and I feel at ease looking at these jade materials. Brother Jin, have you just arrived at BJ? Is there something wrong? Do you want Yuzi to help?" A series of questions came to Jin Qi, making Jin Qi laugh all the time.It took me a long time to point to a piece of jade about four kilograms in the cabinet and said, "First ask Yuzi a question, why is this piece of jade named a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation?"
