Chapter 250 Palace Made Gold Powder Box

The three of them walked forward for a short distance, and saw a stall full of various fruit wine vats, selling fruit wine in bulk, and there were quite a lot of people buying it.

"Little uncle, there is a fruit wine over there that is also quite delicious. Every year our family will buy a few bottles and go back to taste it. The alcohol content is very low, and girls can drink a bottle without any problem."

After Chen Xiaoyan finished speaking, she looked at her brother anxiously, but Chen Xiaojun didn't understand what she meant, but instead coughed and said, "You don't know that little uncle can't drink alcohol."

"Okay, you're a stickler."

Chen Xiaoyan looked at Li Mo helplessly.

"I'll go over and taste it." Li Mo walked to the fruit wine booth, where a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was holding some wine for tasting, and handed it to anyone who wanted to drink it.

"A little bit of apple flavor."

Li Mo took the small paper cup and tasted it a little. Sure enough, the taste of alcohol was very light, and there was a faint apple flavor in his mouth.

"When I go home, go here and buy a few bottles to take back."

Going forward, I saw Chen Xiaoyan squatting in front of a booth. The booth was full of various jewelry boxes, including gold and silver, and some boxes were inlaid with agate beads and the like.Some jewelry boxes look old, and the surface is oxidized and blackened.

"Swallow, do you have a favorite jewelry box?"

"Little uncle, look at this jewelry box, it can hold a lot of things." Chen Xiaoyan was holding a wooden box, not expensive wood, but the surface was inlaid with a lot of agate beads, and there were various carvings. It looks very gorgeous and beautiful.

Girls generally have insufficient resistance to this beautiful thing.

"Boss, how much is this packing box?" Li Mo asked.

"That's 480 yuan."

"Tch, I thought it was 48." Chen Xiaoyan murmured as soon as she heard the price and put it on the booth.

"Little girl, you really know how to joke. I came from another county, and 48 yuan is not even enough for the car gas. If you really like it, I can give you 30 yuan cheaper. 450 yuan is already the lowest price. Let me earn it no matter what. Just a little."

"It's too expensive. I don't have so much pocket money." When Chen Xiaoyan heard the price, he only needed to buy fish and shrimp chili sauce for four days to make it back, or he would stop buying it for a year without hesitation.

Li Mo glanced around the booth. Some of the gold and silver jewelry boxes on this booth were genuine, at least they contained real gold and silver.

From hundreds of jewelry boxes, he picked up a gold box that was no bigger than his palm, and it looked like a begonia-shaped gold powder box.At this moment, in his eyes, this gold powder box emits a red light, and it is from the Tang Dynasty.

"Boss, how much is this?"

"That's not cheap, it's a gold-plated jewelry box. Let me tell you, this gold-plated jewelry box cost me a total of [-] yuan when I bought it. If you like it, I will definitely not make you more money. Two thousand is enough, I earn some hard work."

"Boss, are you crazy about money? Do you think we are fools? If it is gold-plated, you still put it up for sale? From my point of view, this jewelry box is made of chemical gold, not pure gold at all. And this It’s so small, there’s no room for two sets of earrings, and you’d be a fool to spend two thousand to buy them back.” Chen Xiaoyan fought back in a hurry, and Li Mo was ready to pay, hearing what she said, she quickly put it in her mouth. Swallow your words.Otherwise, in her eyes, she would be a fool.

"Little girl, I can't say no to you, then you can make a price, and I will do as long as I don't lose money."

"180 dollars."

What Chen Xiaoyan said was categorical, and he did not allow him to question it.This knife really hurt the vitality of the boss, he looked at Xiaoyan, didn't know what to say, finally shook his head and said: "Okay, I don't do business with you, I'm just here to make trouble for me."

"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, and I won't buy it."

Li Mo sighed secretly, it would be easy for him to find a leak.If you talk like that, people have put you on the blacklist long ago.

"Boss, this jewelry box sounds exquisite and beautiful. You can even offer the cheapest price for that wooden box. If it's about the same, I'll buy them all, so that you can make some money and we can get a good deal, okay?"

"I still like what you say, young man. That's good. Give me 1000 yuan for two pieces. Young man, I really only earned a little hard work at this price. I would rather not sell it at a lower price. Who would do a loss-making business? .”

Li Mo stood up and said, "Okay, one thousand is one thousand, I'll transfer your money."

After Li Mo paid the money, he put the gold powder box into his pocket, and the boss packed the wooden box for Chen Xiaoyan with a smile on his face, and told her: "Little girl, the things are a bit heavy, you can carry them well."

"Businessman, I don't want to talk to you." Chen Xiaoyan packed up the wooden box and turned around to leave. She didn't know whether it was because she felt sorry for the money, or because she really felt that the boss was a bit annoying.

Chen Xiaojun has been with Li Mo for a long time, and he knows that he will never buy such an exquisite jewelry box for no reason, it looks like it is for women.After the three of them walked for a short distance, Xiao Jun asked, "Uncle, is that gold-plated jewelry box an old thing?"

"Yes, you have good eyesight." Li Mo smiled, then took it out and took a closer look and said, "This is a gold powder box, which was used to hold rouge and gouache in the past. There are many people here, so I will tell you in detail when I go back. "

Then Li Mo took the two of them around for nearly two hours before returning the same way. There were too many people here, and it took a long time to buy something delicious.

Back in Chenjiacun, Li Zhongsheng and the others had already started playing mahjong, and Shiyi was standing outside chatting with Chen Feng.

"Swallow, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Auntie, this is the jewelry box my little uncle gave me. There are three layers inside. I can put a lot of things in it. Don't you think it's pretty?"

Chen Xiaoyan swayed in front of Chen Feng as if showing off, but didn't let her take a closer look.

"Junior brother, when will you buy me a gift?"

Chen Feng looked at Li Mo with a half-smile, but the latter calmly took out the gold powder box from his pocket and handed it to her, "If you can get married next year, this will be a wedding gift for you."

"What is this?" Chen Feng flipped through it a few times, but the workmanship was quite delicate, so she didn't know what it was.

"The begonia gold powder box handed down from the Tang Dynasty, when you arrive in Kyoto after a year, you can find a professional organization to test it. If the pure gold content reaches 80.00%, it is made by the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty. If the pure gold content is only 70.00%, then it is For folk forging, the price difference between the two is several times."

Ah, Chen Xiaoyan couldn't help but reach out to snatch it and take a closer look. It's not gold-plated, but pure gold mixed with other metals and forged together.

"Don't move, this is your aunt's dowry next year." Chen Feng patted Yanzi's hand gently, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Junior brother, tell me in detail, and I can show it off in front of others in the future."

Chen Xiaoyan immediately carried the wooden box into the house angrily.

"The Tang Dynasty was the time when our country's gold and silverware production reached its pinnacle. If you open the lid of the box and take a closer look, there is a pearl pond inside. Then open the frame on the pearl floor and carve patterns like flowers and birds. The carve flowers are very dense, and The flower tendrils inside have some Middle Eastern Persian patterns, and the craftsmanship is quite complicated. Don’t look at such a small powder box, it is actually very difficult to make.”

"If the gold content reaches 80.00%, it means that it is still made in the palace of the Tang Dynasty and made by royal craftsmen. If you don't want to sell it in the future, you can use it as a small family heirloom."
