Chapter 12 Phoenix pattern hosta, produced by the royal family!
When the people around saw Lin Dong's appearance, they persuaded him one after another: "Just tell me! Anyway, it will also increase our knowledge!"

Peng Wenhui also wanted to hear what Lin Dong had to say. She took the things in her hand and looked at them repeatedly, but she really didn't see anything, so she poked Lin Dong: "Just tell me, I want to know too!"

Lin Dong looked at the stall owner, and asked with a half-smile: "Then I'll talk about it?" He really wanted to ask the other party's opinion, and if the other party didn't want to talk about it, then he wouldn't say it.Face slapping is also a matter of dividing people.

The stall owner has basically decided that he must have lost a lot, but he doesn't know where the loss is. He said weakly: "Speak up! Let me know if I die!"

"Then I'll tell you!" Lin Dong took the two items from Peng Wenhui's hand, and said, "In your opinion, which one is more valuable?"

Peng Wenhui instinctively looked at Yuan Datou, who was in good condition.Because the other half-destroyed jade hairpin, although it looks simple and has cloud patterns, is not very good looking. Not only is it pale yellow in color, but it also looks not very clean.

"It must be that Yuan Datou!" The stall owner said directly: "Look at that jade hairpin, it looks like that. Although it is a bit older, it can't be cleaned anyway. Such a appearance is really not worth a lot of money!"

He also asked someone to appraise this jade hairpin, and the decorations are all clear, and he has also had someone clean it. I really don’t know what the stain is, and it can’t be cleaned at all, and I’m afraid it will damage the jade hairpin, but others I also said that this thing is definitely not very valuable, so he didn't care, and put it on the stall casually.

Originally it was 200 yuan, but now that Yuan Datou has sold it for a high price, he is naturally happy, and the price has doubled several times!

Lin Dong knew that you would say that, he shook his head and said, "Actually, if this jade hairpin is complete, it will be worth at least one hundred thousand yuan!"

"How is this possible?" The stall owner's eyes fell on the unremarkable jade hairpin, oh, it should be half of the jade hairpin, "It's just such a thing, it's still dirty..."

"Actually, it's not dirty." With the knowledge in his head, Lin Dong said clearly, "That's just the decoration on the hairpin. The overall decoration of this jade hairpin is cloud pattern, which everyone can see from."

This is true, but anyone with a little knowledge in this area can see it.

"The dirty things you mentioned," Lin Dong tapped the jade hairpin lightly, and then lifted it up for everyone to see clearly, "it is actually a part of the phoenix pattern. This jade hairpin cleverly uses the original jade hairpin. Of course, this is not all, and you can see this. If I am not mistaken, this phoenix pattern is only half, and the other half is carved on another part of the hosta."

"Impossible!" The stall owner asked for the jade hairpin from Lin Dong, looked carefully, but still couldn't see where it looked like a phoenix pattern.

Lin Dong didn't answer, and turned to Peng Wenhui, "Did you bring paper and pen?"

Peng Wenhui shook her head, she only brought a small bag, paper and pen are usually not brought with her.

"I have it here!" An enthusiastic audience nearby said loudly: "I have it here!"

That person squeezed in from the outside. Although the people in the inner circle were reluctant, they had no choice. If they wanted to continue reading now, they had to have a pen and paper in this kid's hand.

Lin Dong thanked the young man, took the pen and paper, and then took back the jade hairpin from the stall owner, pressed the jade hairpin on the paper, and began to draw with the pen.

Within 3 minutes, a sketch was drawn. Lin Dong put away his pen, continued to press the jade hairpin on the paper, and then motioned to the stall owner: "Look now, can you see that it is a phoenix pattern?"

The stall owner glanced at it, and then widened his eyes: "How is this possible? The 'dirty thing' that looked messy just now has become the tail feathers of a phoenix looking west!"

The stall owner's expression surprised everyone else, and they gathered around to see what happened. Lin Dong simply took the paper, pressed the jade hairpin, and slowly looked around the crowd to let everyone see clearly. .He just told everyone to read it, when Yuhan even snatched the paper by Peng Wenhui.

"Ah! It's so beautiful!" Peng Wenhui didn't care whether the jade hairpin was real or not, and the first thing she admired was Lin Dong's beautiful drawing!

Lin Dong smiled lightly and shook his head, then returned the pen to the young man.

"Even if this jade hairpin isn't dirty, it's a fragment. It's missing such an important half, so I'm afraid it's not worth much!"

Some people in the crowd questioned.According to Lin Dong's words, the ornamentation on the jade hairpin was accepted by everyone, but people who read it did not agree with Lin Dong's statement about how much it was worth.

Lin Dong smiled: "I think everyone can see that the overall color of this jade hairpin is yellowish, right?"

There is no dispute on this point.

"Actually, if I'm not mistaken, although this jade hairpin is a fragment, it is still complete." Lin Dong said something contradictory in itself, "so it cannot be regarded as a fragment."

This sentence confuses everyone.Fortunately, Lin Dong didn't mean to be tricky, and continued to explain: "Actually, I think the other half of it should be a gold insert. Of course, the other half of the phoenix pattern is also drawn on the gold insert. And the half of this hosta is Complete."

All of a sudden, the people around came to their senses: If the jade hairpin is not a fragment, but only half of it, then the value will increase immediately.Fragments have the price of fragments, and accessories have the price of accessories.Although it is not as good as a complete piece, the price of accessories is definitely much higher than that of fragments.

As if the words were not surprising, Lin Dong ignored the expressions of the others and continued: "If I guess correctly, this jade hairpin should have been made in the palace in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, but the logo engraved on it should be It's on the gold plug-in side, so I can't see it now. But it's nothing, as long as you bother to check, you can still find out the truth!"

Some knowledgeable people immediately came to their senses, while others didn’t understand, and someone immediately explained to him: “Think about it, during the Qing Dynasty, it was a feudal society! There were regulations on what people used and what kind of things they used. Decorations like the phoenix pattern , can ordinary people use it?"

If it can be proved that this is made in-house, then it would be no wonder if the price did not go up a few somersaults!

This time, the stall owner is really convinced!

However, he still had some doubts. He pointed to the other Yuan Datou in Lin Dong's hand and said, "Is there anything to say about this Yuan Datou? Could it be that you picked it up too?"

Lin Dong smiled: "It's the ordinary Yuan Datou. I don't buy the two together. It's no wonder you can sell it to me so cheap!"

It was so!
