"Look at whatever you like, I'll sell it to you cheaply."
The female boss has a good impression of Li Mo, who is young and has a sense of justice.
The things in this stall are quite ordinary. Except for the common handicrafts, the inconspicuous little golden dragon is extraordinary.
Li Mo took several things at the stall and took a closer look. Finally, he picked up the little golden dragon as big as his thumb in the corner and asked curiously: "Boss, did those two people talk about this little dragon again just now?"
"No, that's right. This is a golden dragon. Those two people must be called bronze dragons. Do you think it's irritating or not?"
Li Mo smiled, took a closer look and then said: "Boss, I don't blame people for saying it is a copper dragon. There is obviously a patina on this little dragon, which means that the gold content of this golden dragon is not pure. It is estimated that it is only about 80% gold. Look at this With Xiaolong’s size and weight, if you ask someone for two thousand, it would be strange if they don’t hurry up with you.”
The female boss obviously knew what was going on and couldn't help but smile.
"The shape of this little golden dragon is quite unique. It is completely different from the image of our Chinese dragon. If there are several in a group, you can buy it back and put it on the desk as a display. If it is just this one, it will accidentally fall into something. You can’t even find it in the cracks.”
Li Mo shook his head and put the little golden dragon, a relic of the Tang Dynasty, back on the stall.
"Little brother, do you like this little golden dragon?" The female boss immediately felt that there was something interesting and asked quickly.
Li Mo shook his head: "I can't say that I like it very much, I just think this little dragon is quite special. It's a pity that you only have one in your hand and you don't have anywhere to put it when you buy it."
"Who told you that I only have one? To be honest, little brother, our family has a total of six such little golden dragons. Our grandfather bought them from a local family when he was doing fruit business in Shaanxi decades ago. If you really like it and we can agree on the price, how about I call my son and bring over the remaining five little golden dragons?"
"Ah, do you really have several in your hand?"
Li Mo was a little surprised. He scratched his head and said, "Two thousand must be too expensive. If I buy it, the price of such a small golden dragon will not exceed one thousand. What if its copper content is too high? How can I buy it back?" It’s not blood loss.”
"Uncle Master, don't be deceived." When Chen Xiaoyan saw that Li Mo wanted to spend a thousand yuan to buy this little golden dragon, she immediately became anxious and felt that he had been deceived.
"Little sister, judging from what you said, even if I want to lie to people, I won't do it so openly." The female boss seemed a little guilty and said quickly, "If you are really afraid of being cheated by me, then don't buy it. .”
"Yanzi, please stop saying a few words." Li Mo turned to look at her and motioned for her not to interrupt.
Chen Xiaoyan blinked, as if she had realized something.
"Honey boss, one thousand is too expensive, so why don't you get it cheaper?"
"Oh, I offered two thousand and I couldn't counter-offer, but this little brother just helped me once, so I agreed to the counter-offer. If the little brother really likes it, how about one thousand and one little golden dragon?"
"I'll think about it some more."
Li Mo picked up the little golden dragon and looked through it for a while before nodding slightly and saying, "Deal."
The female stall owner immediately became happy. She quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed the number. After a few seconds, she said eagerly: "Girl, please bring over the five little golden dragons in the wooden box under the bed in the bedroom. If anyone wants to buy them, hurry up." Click haha.”
After hanging up the phone, the female boss smiled at Li Mo again and said: "I live very close to here, it only takes more than ten minutes to walk.
"No hurry, let me pay you the price of this little golden dragon first. Then we go to the tea shop diagonally across the street to buy something to drink. How about we come back to you in more than ten minutes?"
"Okay, it will be delivered in no more than a quarter of an hour."
Once a thousand yuan arrives, it doesn't matter even if he never looks back.
After Li Mo paid, the female boss took out a ring box and put the small golden dragon as big as a thumb in it and stood there. He took the box and walked towards the opposite side with Chen Xiaoyan.
The tea shop not only sells milk tea, but also provides freshly baked bread and donuts. There are five tables in the shop, and there is exactly one left.
"Two cups of milk tea and two donuts.
Chen Xiaoyan shouted to the clerk, and the two of them sat directly on the empty table and chairs.
Li Mo opened the box and took out the little golden dragon to appreciate it again. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the little golden dragon was weird.
"Uncle Junior, is there anything weird about this little golden dragon?"
"It's not clear yet, but I'm sure it was made during the Tang Dynasty. After the other five little golden dragons are bought, I will find someone to study it together."
Apart from being able to determine its age, Li Mo knew nothing about its origin and function.
"You two, please use it slowly."
The clerk brought milk tea and donuts, and the two of them ate while waiting. I felt cold all over while walking outside before, but after drinking a few sips of milk tea, my hands and feet finally felt warm.
About a quarter of an hour later, Li Mo paid and walked towards the stall.
"Little brother, everything has been delivered."
Next to the female boss stood a woman in her late twenties, who was playing with her mobile phone with her head down. Li Mo picked up one of the boxes and opened it and took a look. Sure enough, it was a little golden dragon from the Tang Dynasty, but its expression and posture were a little different from the first one.
He checked them one by one and paid all the money after making sure everything was fine.
"Boss, let's clear the payment in full."
"Thank you little brother."
Li Mo put all six boxes into his backpack, and then continued shopping with Chen Xiaoyan.
At noon, the two had a simple meal in a snack bar. Li Mo took the opportunity to take a few sets of photos and sent them to Professor Zhu Changping to see if he could give a clue.
Within five minutes, Professor Zhu called back, and his tone seemed a bit serious when he answered the call.
"Xiao Mo, where did you find these little golden dragons?"
"In an old street in a small county town in Huizhou, teacher, do you know what this is?"
The person on the phone paused for a few seconds before replying: "If you read it correctly, it should be the 'Red Gold Dragon'. Xiao Mo, there is a big problem with the origin of the six red gold dragons in your hand. You can check more information first, and I will check it now. Check out the information about it and we’ll talk on the phone tonight.”
"good."
When Li Mo heard Professor Zhu say that there was a big question about the origin of the 'Red Gold Walking Dragon' in his hand, his first reaction was that the female boss's grandfather was not a tomb robber, and got it by digging a tomb from the Tang Dynasty.
With suspicion, Li Mo logged into an official website. He logged in under his real name. Enter the four words 'Red Gold Walking Dragon' in the search keyword, and then several messages will pop up below.
After clicking on the first message, Li Mo read it carefully.
In the early 1970s, a group of twelve thumb-sized golden dragons were unearthed from an ancient tomb in the Tang Dynasty.
Among a group of small golden dragons, the tallest is 2.8 cm and the shortest is 2 cm. They have a slender figure, a wide mouth and an extended neck. The top of the head has two horns that are bent at the back of the head. The eyes are round and deep, the lips are open, and the jaws and cheeks are decorated with long ornaments. Mane pattern The neck is curved twice, the body is bulging, the tail is dragged down, and the end is rolled up. Except for the long mane pattern on the back and tail spine, the whole body is decorated with deeply concave dot patterns, which are decorated with flake scales, and the whole body is carved with flakes. The moving scales are all between millimeters in size and seem to be made by inserting the tip of a drill. The mouth is wide, the long tail is curled up, and it is walking in various postures.
Because of this, a group of twelve dragons was named "Red Gold Walking Dragon".
As a symbol of the Chinese nation, the dragon is well known and admired by Chinese people at home and abroad. Speaking of dragons, people will naturally think of them as majestic, magical and weird. However, Tang Chijin's dragons are small and exquisite, simple and plain. The craftsman first weaves the body out of gold bars, then inserts the tail and horns, and finally uses a chisel to carve out the fish scale pattern decoration. Since they are handmade, each one is not exactly the same.
"There are actually twelve little golden dragons in total!"
