The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 682 Century-old Jade
"This thing will definitely crack if it is kept for a long time. Only in this way can it be proved that it is an old thing." The middle-aged man used strong words and actually said that the cracks were proof of time, allowing Xiaojun to come up with a price no matter what.

"If something is broken, it will be of no use even if it has been stored for thousands of years, unless it is a rare orphan item with scientific value. But that kind of orphan item is rare to find in ten thousand years, and the acquisition is from some scientific research institutes. I can't tolerate it here. Such a great god."

Xiaojun's talk about business was eloquent, and soon he slashed the man to the door and almost pushed him out of the house.

"What are you doing? Don't think that I don't know what kind of business you do. Either you accept these pens today, or I will go to the police station to sue you and arrest you."

When the middle-aged man saw that Xiaojun was not fooled, he started to act rogue and planned to use this method to extort money from Xiaojun. This kind of person is what Bai Meixi hates the most. If he gives it once, he will do it a hundred times.

Bai Meixi wanted to see how Xiaojun would handle it and whether he would comply with the middle-aged man's wish.

"I'm just a scrap collector. If you want to sue, just go ahead. Anyway, this is a legal business, but this is not necessarily the case with your pen. Although it is cracked, it is indeed an old thing. I heard that the market The museum in the center lost a batch of collections some time ago. Although they are defective items stored in the warehouse, they still have a lot of research value. This is probably where this thing came from."

Xiaojun turned over the box containing the pen. Sure enough, there was a red seal stamped on the back of the box, which was the logo of the downtown museum.

This special era really wastes things. Collecting antiques is like playing with them and losing one's ambition. What's more, most of these defective items are piled up in warehouses and not properly preserved.

However, many historians strongly opposed this approach. They fought hard with their weakened bodies and protected all the things that could be protected. However, even if they tried their best, they could only save a small part, and the rest They are all living outside, and even more of them are in bad condition.

But this matter can only be a private transaction in any case. If it were revealed, theft alone would be a felony in this era and would be jailed for ten years.

"I don't know what you are talking about. In short, this is my family's ancestral inheritance." Seeing that his secret was exposed, the middle-aged man walked out with the pencil case.

He didn't steal this batch of goods, but he did take it from someone else. The price offered by that person was 5 yuan a piece. When he saw that this set of pens came from a museum, he felt that it must be good. Big profit.

In addition, someone had already introduced Xiaojun as a buyer to him at that time, so he accepted it without hesitation. Unexpectedly, after getting the pen, he asked an expert to appraise it and found that it had no value at all. Even Xiaojun, a young boy, Can't be fooled.

"Xiaojun, you are really getting more and more experienced now." Bai Meixi feels that Xiaojun's ability has improved by leaps and bounds, he can advance and retreat when encountering difficulties, and he can relax with a degree of relaxation. He is much better than her in handling many things.

"Sister, you're flattering me. I'm just familiar with what's happening in the city. If it were another city, I wouldn't be able to do anything about it." Xiaojun looked outside and locked the courtyard door from the inside, mysteriously. He took out a small brocade box from behind a shelf, and inside was a crystal clear ancient jade.

"Sister, look at this thing, I think it looks like an old thing." The jade pendant Xiaojun took out was a pair of lionesses. The two lions were very close to each other, and the relationship between mother and son looked very special. close.Similar jade pendants were later produced, which symbolize family happiness.

"Bring the flashlight over, I have to take a good look." Bai Meixi turned on the flashlight and kept shining it on the jade pendant. The jade was crystal clear and the green color was very much like emerald. "Sister, you can see that the edges and corners of these lions have become very rounded. It should be caused by being held in someone's hands and caressed and played with them for a long time."

Xiaojun has his own opinions. His current professional knowledge is not enough. Everything depends on intuition, but his intuition is very accurate. Eight out of ten things are correct.

"This thing is really good." Bai Meixi has watched a lot of TV dramas from the Qing Dynasty before. This lioness looks very much like something belonging to a concubine of Emperor Qianlong. Even if it was imitated later, it would have been decades ago. , plus the transparency of the jade, it should be worth a lot of money.

"How much did you get it back?" Bai Meixi saw that Xiaojun bought the yard, and she probably didn't have much money in her hands. Now that she can buy this piece of jade, she must have spent a lot of money.

"Sister, I got this for a dime a pound." Xiaojun smiled mysteriously. This lioness was the biggest mistake for him. At first, the man thought the jade was made of glass and treated it as a toy. Just thrown in the trash.

"A dime per catty?" Bai Meixi was shocked when she heard the price. Even if the stone weighs less than a pound plus the brocade box, doesn't it mean that the stone only cost a few cents.

"Yes, I didn't think it looked like glass when I looked at it. Although they are all dark green, they are very different from the material at the bottom of the wine bottle. I just wanted to let you take a look, sister."

Xiaojun has recently collected two months of scraps. Among them, there are not many antique calligraphy and paintings, and only a few can be considered good things. This lioness is one of them.

"Sister, I'll give you 200 yuan for this piece of jade. If you have any other good things, bring them out." Bai Meixi has always been generous in giving, not to mention that emerald is a rare jade for future generations. Even the mines in Myanmar have already It's rare to see a stone of such good quality. Maybe this piece of lioness can be sold for a high price of 200 million in the future.

"Thank you sister, I have a few more items here, please wait." Xiaojun began to rummage around at home. What he had recently collected were small things that were easy to store. In addition to this piece of jade, there was another one similar to Coral bracelet.

Bai Meixi has no experience with corals and cannot tell whether they are genuine or not. Moreover, if the coral bracelet is not well maintained, it will easily turn into dead coral, which will then be worthless.

The bracelet Xiaojun took out already had a lot of small black spots on it. It looked like a real coral bracelet, but the corals were definitely dead, and had been dead for a long time, and the quality was very poor.

"This won't work. Even if it's really coral, it's not worth anything." Bai Meixi shook her head. Xiaojun was not angry. Instead, he took a notebook and carefully wrote down what Bai Meixi said to avoid making the same mistake again in the future. .

Xiaojun took out a few more items. The quality of these items was average. Except for an inkstone that was not bad, they were all jade seals and the like. Bai Meixi settled the bill for Xiaojun at the previous price of 20 yuan each. In one night, Xiaojun earned more than 400 yuan, which is a lot of money even for two months.
