White jade is valuable among jade articles.
Generally, coffins in ancient tombs are divided into several categories: stone coffins, bronze coffins, or gold coffins. However, very few people use jade coffins, let alone white jade coffins, which are known as "fairy jade" .
The white jade has a special color and can emerge from the mud without being stained.
Although the thing in the woman's hand at this moment is only the beveled part of a coffin, the proportion of white jade is fully covered.
Li Bai has a poem that goes: When I was young, I didn’t recognize the moon, and I called it a white jade plate!
White jade that can be compared with the moon is naturally valuable.
Especially in ancient times!
It's no wonder that the big golden tooth was directly referred to as "living flesh" just now.
It is indeed a good thing. Even if it is not complete, it can be resold for a lot of money if it is cut off.
The most important thing is that if a corner of a coffin is so precious, what specifications must the things buried with it be like! What kind of specifications does this tomb for storing coffins have to have?
Thinking of this, Chen Hao subconsciously thought about a plan.
Just at this moment
Xu Yuan, who was next to him, immediately said: "Shopkeeper, look."
After the voice of making a wish fell, Chen Hao raised his eyebrows and looked up.
I saw a man wearing a leather jacket coming back to sit next to the woman with a smile, and he was talking about something.
The woman had not moved her chopsticks just now, but was pulling on her clothes to cover her legs tightly. Now that the man in the leather jacket came back, the expression on her face suddenly became tense, and she was obviously a layman. .
"It seems that someone is one step ahead of us!" Xu Yuan shook the wine glass gently.
"Hey~~ What's the matter? You have to look at everything before saying anything. Before there is a transaction, you can't say anything for sure." Da Jinya turned the ring on his thumb and said with a chuckle.
Indeed, in the antique trading industry, as long as the final transaction is not completed, there are many variables. Even if someone is one step ahead of them, there is no rush.
Chen Hao also agreed with this situation.
The sound falls now
Chen Hao raised his head slightly and gave Da Jinya a look.
Da Jinya immediately stood up, walked to the possession on the second floor, and shouted: "Hey, man, add three plates of mutton to our table 82, hurry up!"
"Hey~~ Please wait a moment, our kitchen is busy, there are a lot of people, please wait a moment." The voice of the waiter came from downstairs, which was exactly what Da Jinya wanted to hear.
The place where these two people were sitting happened to be near the stairs.
And Big Jinya came to the stairs to greet and urge, and he was very close to them. Even though Big Jinya was looking down and mumbling, his ears had already been stretched at this moment and he was listening to the two people here. Talked.
"Oh, eldest sister, I have already given you the highest price. The other side of this jade has too many cracks and is not smooth at all. As for jade, it looks smooth and flat. Besides, you have this thing. The road is unknown, and if someone finds out, I will be sued. I will give you five thousand, which is a lot." The man in the leather jacket shook the ashes from his cigarette and said helplessly, scratching his head.
The big yellow teeth were chattering, which made Lao Jin frown subconsciously.
"Oh, hurry up. Really, we are waiting to be cooked." Da Jinya urged, and then he immediately squatted down to tie his shoelaces, taking advantage of this time to hear the sound from behind.
"This...this is a life-saving thing for me to treat my child's illness. My child is lying on the bed waiting for me to collect enough money for the operation. Boss, you should be kind and give more , Even if it’s just a little charity, it’s okay. This is the only valuable thing in our family, and this is me..." She gritted her teeth, pursed her lips in hesitation, and then said: "Please You! Please.”
After hearing this, Da Beitou put out the cigarette butt with helplessness, scratched his head and said: "Oh, sister, I sympathize with your family situation. But I have already told you, this piece of jade has another side. It's uneven and has too many broken places, and this jade is all about color and naturalness. Your appearance is not excellent, so I really can't increase the price for you, and you don't have to Did you tell me, the child is lying on the bed waiting for money to treat the disease, what use is it for you to stay here with me? Why don't you get the money early and go to treat the child, this is the key."
"But...but five thousand is really too little." When the child was mentioned, the woman's heart was obviously touched. She frowned, and the expression on her face was almost about to cry, and she held her hand. The clothes' hands squeezed hard, and he gritted his teeth and tried to plead again: "Boss, you are kind-hearted and Bodhisattva-hearted. Just treat it as a good deed. Good people will be rewarded. Give more, give more." I’ll sell it, please.”
The woman couldn't take a single bite of the food. She kept begging her and almost fell to her knees in front of the man in the leather jacket.
This scene also allowed Chen Hao, who was not far away, to see more or less some clues.
At the same time, it also made Da Jinya frown slightly.
Perhaps this plea really worked. Leather Jacket sighed in confusion, lit a new cigarette, took a puff, and then gritted his teeth and said in embarrassment: "Hey... forget it. Forget it, just think of me as doing a good deed, so be it, I'll give you another thousand or six thousand, okay? If it doesn't work, just go find someone else, I can't help you."
Da Jinya finally tied his shoelaces at this moment
At the same time, the newly cut mutton was also served.
"Hey~ your mutton, pick it up~"
"Slip carefully, we just mopped the floor."
The waiter greeted and handed the mutton to Da Jinya.
Da Jinya took the mutton with a smile, turned back to his seat and sat down.
"Shopkeeper, I understand, it's a young child with broken wings, and it was targeted by a wolf." Da Jinya put down the mutton in his hand, and relayed the story in front of him simply and clearly using the code words often used between the three of them. Condition.
Xu Wan immediately raised his eyebrows after hearing these words, and couldn't help but squint his eyes and said: "This guy is lucky enough. This kind of thing can happen to him."
"What accent?" Chen Hao stared straight ahead and asked with a calm expression.
"Sounds like a minority."
"What's the asking price?"
"Five thousand, the woman begged him for a long time, and he gave him an extra thousand." Da Jinya raised his finger and answered.
"Six thousand?" Chen Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, held the mirror with one hand and said: "Even if the other side of the white jade coffin corner is broken, cracked, and the color is dull at worst, it can be sold for at least 80,000 yuan! Six thousand, Not even a fraction of the lowest price.”
"I see, this guy is anxious to catch this woman's family trouble, so he took this bite of fat."
"This grandson is so greedy!" Big Jinya bared his teeth and couldn't help but muttered.
Although making money is the first priority for businessmen, it is unethical to overprice such life-saving money!
Even if you don't increase the price, just give a normal price that matches the price of this jade! Even if you can earn a part of the original price, even half of it, but considering the other party's desire to save lives and lack of understanding of the business, deliberately lowering the price, and lowering the price by so much, this kind of behavior is a bit unacceptable.
"Wait a minute! Shopkeeper, could this be a game?" Xu Yuan's eyebrows lit up at this moment, he stretched out his hand to interrupt Lao Jin's speech, and asked in a more sober manner.
Although the previous situation is very sympathetic and worthy of attention, the antiques industry is really too deep, with all kinds of scams and situations emerging one after another. Even so, many businessmen flock to it.
Of course we should sympathize with the scene before us today, but we also need to analyze it rationally to see if it is a set-up, the purpose of which is to force the so-called good Samaritans to come out and be taken advantage of.
After all, what they saw was just a corner under the woman's clothes. It is difficult to guarantee the authenticity of antiques without careful inspection.
Moreover, this question is also based on the premise that Xuanyuan and Da Jinya do not have twin pupils of Jin Yuan.
After hearing these words, Chen Hao looked at the woman in front of him very quickly, shook his head slightly, and then said: "This woman's skin is dark and yellow, her face is dry, there are many wrinkles, her arms and face are... Her neck is all the same color, which should be the result of years of exposure to the sun. This means that she lives in a place where there is always strong sunlight, and she usually wears very little. Her nails are short, and her hands have obvious needlework. There are many wrinkles and scars on the back of her hands, which are obviously caused by years of farm work and craftsmanship. The pattern on the hem of her clothes is typical of ethnic minorities in my country. It feels like it should be from Yunnan and Guizhou. From the Sichuan area.”
"From the above, this woman is indeed a rural woman from a remote area. Perhaps she brought her son to the Imperial Capital for treatment."
"No wonder, I think her accent sounds a bit like that of an ethnic minority." Da Jinya nodded frequently and couldn't help but say.
"White jade coffin corners... ethnic minority accents... Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan areas..." Several factors appeared, causing Chen Hao to murmur softly, and the thought came to his mind involuntarily. a place!
A mysterious and dangerous place.
Thinking of this, Chen Hao also became interested in the origin of the thing in the woman's hand.
At this moment, he straightened up slightly and reached out his hand to tap the table.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
Three knocks on the table sounded
The person next to him Xu Wan immediately understood, and saw him curling up the corner of his mouth.
He reached out to pick up the wine glass on the table, drank the wine in one gulp, then stood up and walked towards the stairs with a plate of mutton.
