1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 192 Sun Zhangyan brought the hosta to guide the way
Luo Tao did not blindly agree and follow him. Instead, he first observed the terrain and environment, and was careful not to see any danger waiting for him and the others to jump in.

The pavilion was very simple to build. Apart from a few thick trees, there was nothing else that could provide shelter.

It's not too far from the low wall of the temple. There are fewer tourists there, but it's still a place that attracts attention.

Luo Tao glanced at Mr. Wang and asked for the opinion of this old Jianghu, but Mr. Wang didn't stop him, just nodded.

"Okay, please." Luo Tao wanted to get to know him. He has been in the industry for so long and has never really met such people.

When they stopped Luo Tao to do business with him, Luo Tao had a rough guess about the identities of these three people. They were either guerrillas shoveling land, or they were tomb robbers.

Land shoveling specifically refers to traveling to rural areas to collect goods, and then selling them to various merchants. People in the industry call them "guerrillas", also called "land shoveling", and it also generally refers to tomb robbers.

"Haha, please."

This person is also of high quality and does not lose any etiquette. Let Luo Tao and Mr. Wang go first.

When I came to the pavilion, there were no stone tables or benches.

The pavilion is covered with a funnel canopy and four wooden stakes. Don't think too much about the railings and chairs.

Fortunately, I don’t know which senior left behind three piles of blue bricks, each pile containing about three to four bricks.

Luo Tao and Wang Lao sat down with this gentleman, while Xu Le and Qizi were holding their purchases and standing beside the pillar when they came in. The other two were more experienced and turned their backs without telling them, observing. All around.

If he were taller and taller, and wore sunglasses, he would definitely be a professional bodyguard.

The three of them sat down and began to walk further.

"I don't know what to call these two gentlemen?"

"Oh, my surname is Luo, and this is my teacher's surname Wang. I don't know what your surname is, sir?"

After listening to Luo Tao's introduction, he secretly glanced at Mr. Wang several times before replying: "I don't dare, my surname is Sun, and my friends all call me Sun Yi."

"Oh, really? Then Mr. Sun's ability is definitely not small, otherwise he would not get such a nickname." Luo Tao also took the opportunity to praise him a few words to lighten the atmosphere.

"It's a small skill, just to make a living. It's not like the two gentlemen are engaged in big business. If I read it correctly, the large flower vase should be from the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods! I don't know if I am wrong."

As soon as he said it, Luo Tao had a basic understanding of what he was capable of. The large vase was from a private kiln during the Qianlong period. Without getting started, just by looking at it from a distance, he could almost touch it. This man definitely had the skills. Real ability.

He also wanted to use this to show off his abilities and let Luo Tao know that he was also an expert in the industry, so as to pave the way for the next thing.

A person like him should be at the level of the palm of the eye in the tomb gang.

That's right, they also have their own level assessment. The palm eyes are also borrowed from the antique shop. From bottom to top they are: "coolie", "legs", "pot support", and "palm eyes".

Let's first talk about what this "coolie" means.As the name suggests, these guys are all hard-working and have no technical content.Generally, they are responsible for excavation work, and they are paid hard work. Most of them are "temporary workers."

The "legs" are already very "cultured" in the industry. They have also mastered the basic skills of tomb robbing and have sufficient practical experience.Those "coolies" were recruited by them, and they had to obey his orders when working.It's just that the financial resources and interpersonal relationships have not reached the level of "supporting the pot".

The level of "pot support" is very unusual.They can be said to be the souls of this industry, and many "legs" under them work for him.

At the top is the palm eye. Generally, people like this do not participate in specific work. They are responsible for appraising things, contacting big buyers, and steering the overall situation.

Nowadays, the levels in their industry should not be so strict. Although this level has been established for a long time, when the big era came, they really didn't dare to take the risk and continue to do it. As time went by, they almost fell apart.

Now is the time when the spring breeze is blowing, and some bad thoughts have begun to sprout, trying to make a buck against this gust of wind. "Mr. Sun has a good eye. I wonder if you are a pot-holder or a palm-eye?"

Luo Tao needs to ask clearly. They are also ruthless people in the Guo Guo business, and they also have the job of finding sellers.

"Haha, Mr. Luo is well-informed. He even knows this. I admire you. I must be considered an expert now!"

No matter how you say this, it doesn’t matter what you call it.

"Oh, sorry for Sun Zhangyan. I don't know what kind of business you want to do with Luo?"

Now that you basically understand the details, you can go straight to the topic.

He didn't rush to talk, but took out a cloth bag from his left upper body pocket. It looked like the length of the cloth bag was about twenty centimeters. It looked like his pocket wasn't that big, but he could actually take out something of such a length. , thinking there should be a mezzanine inside his clothes!

He took off the cloth bag, put it on the ground with experience, and made a gesture of invitation, "You two, why don't you take a look, is it still eye-catching?"

Luo Tao and Mr. Wang looked at each other and were shocked by the jade hairpin in front of them. This jade hairpin was about seventeen centimeters long and well preserved. It was made of white jade and was smooth and flawless. The head of the hairpin was engraved with unicorns and auspicious beasts and cloud patterns, with a little bit of cinnabar. trace.

The body of the hairpin is also engraved with cloud patterns, and the tail end of the hairpin is in the shape of a pointed cone and is polished very rounded.

This hosta looks even more beautiful when reflected in the afternoon sun.

"Can you take a look?" There is a good thing in front of you, how can you not touch it?

"of course can."

Luo Tao got Sun Zhangyan's consent and suppressed his inner excitement. He carefully took the hosta in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The quality of the jade should be mutton-fat white jade, and the sword technique has the charm of the "hairspring carving" of the Han Dynasty. Luo Tao was not sure about paying attention for a while, so he asked Mr. Wang to take care of it.

"Mr. Wang, please take a look." Luo Tao handed it over.

Friends who are too familiar with each other don't need to pay too much attention to the rules.

This gossamer hair carving was popular during the Warring Period of the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, there were two distinctive carving techniques: "Eight Swords" and "Mao Sword Carving".

This kind of carving technique is called "hairspring carving" or "jumping knife".

"Yes." Mr. Wang took it and looked at it for a few times, then handed it to Luo Tao. At the same time, he also got his hint that it was genuine.

This made Luo Tao feel a lot more at ease. He really didn't know much about jade. Even Mr. Wang only dared to conclude that it was not a new product because he had more experience.

"I wonder how much Sun Zhangyan plans to get this thing out?" Luo Tao carefully placed the hosta in the cloth bag on the ground and asked about the price.

"Mr. Luo, don't worry, I still have a few more here, please show me, the price is easy to negotiate."

Sun Zhang saw that Luo Tao was also a man who knew the goods, so he couldn't help but want to sell all the remaining goods at once.

"Oh, then Luo has a lucky eye today."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, it was because they had their own agenda.
