The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 39: Lively antique night market

   bought a bracelet, because the workmanship of Yudiao Shanzi is still relatively rough, and the two have no appetite, so they spent 60 yuan to buy a bracelet of more than 20 kilograms and plan to take it home and give it to Zhang Hui.

   This is a mountain similar to the yellow jade in the jade. It can be put in the office in the future. It is said to be beneficial to business operations and prosperity!

   And it is said that you have to sit west to east, you can’t put it wrong—this is what the salesperson said, the yin and yang and the five elements are all used, and it makes sense!

   There are hundreds of bracelets, and a jade carving mountain of dozens of kilograms with very good quality is only a few dozen yuan. This is jade, and it may be the price of other things.

   "Tell them our work unit can be cheaper?" After coming out, Guan Xingquan asked Zhang Nan.

"Yes, this will cause us to buy a lot of quantities. I'm talking in the industry, plus people who are from the capital of the country. Although they buy a single product, they can still get the relative wholesale price, otherwise the price will at least Several times!"

   The prices marked on the cartons are all hundreds of pieces, and they all have half a year's salary!

   "If we pretend to be a southern customer to buy goods, we can get the lowest price, but we have to buy a lot of miscellaneous goods, and then people will give the real wholesale price, which is slightly cheaper than the price given to us."

   This is the jade industry. If you don’t buy it from insiders or retailers, no matter how much you buy, they won’t give you a wholesale price. Just wait for the hemorrhage!

   I waited until I put my things back in the hotel before coming out, it was only after three o'clock.

   took the bus to the Wuhou Temple in Wollonggang, west of Nanyang City. There was still an hour to visit. The two went in and took the time to make a circle.

   Zhang Nan has been here before, and he didn't have the intention of traveling. Unexpectedly, Guan Xingquan turned out to be a fan of the Three Kingdoms when he was a child. When he saw the promotional photos of Wuhou Temple in the hotel, he was full of interest.

  After a circle, Wuhou Temple’s biggest impression of Guan Xingquan is not about ancient buildings and history, but the floor of the temple: almost all of it is paved with huge and heavy Dushan jade slabs!

   Other ancestral halls and temples are already very particular about using stone slabs. Nanyang people directly use jade!

   And it can be seen that these jade plates are old, and the surface has been dented a lot by people, and rubbed smoothly!

   There was a light rain just now, and the jade slabs on the surface were more transparent. Standing in the courtyard of Wuhou Temple, I was dazzled by a glance!

   This is a world built by jade!

   It is not only the huge and thick jade plates that are used on the ground. There are a lot of inscriptions left by different dynasties in Wuhou Temple. Almost all the monuments are also carved with Dushan jade seal!

  ...

   I sighed for the Nanyang people's generous use of Wuhou Temple, and the two of them stepped on the closing time of Wuhou Temple before they came out after four o'clock.

   "Go, eat."

   There are several state-owned hotels near Wuhou Temple. Walk into one at random.

Zhang Nan ordered three soups: Stir-fried beef tripe with garlic seeds, braised beef, stir-fried Chinese cabbage and meatball soup. There were three dishes and one soup plus two steamed buns, which made the two people full of food. .

   Compared with restaurants in Jiangnan Province, the dishes in Nanyang are as big as the first three. The amount of dishes is more real and the prices are cheap!

  As Jiangnan natives, Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan will have to complain about the dishes from their hometown. It's too small!

   Eating and drinking, it’s dark too.

"Go to train station."

   As soon as he finished eating, he walked out of the shop and went straight to the train station.

  I’m not going to catch the train. NY Municipal Government is still very open-minded. They set up a jade and antique night market in the railway station square, and the two are going there to shop for Taobao.

   The first time Zhang Nan came to Nanyang in his last life was to take a train. It was in the 1990s. As soon as he left the train station, he was attracted by the bustling night market-brightly lit, crowded, and things were so varied and dazzling.

   And this night market existed in the 1980s, so I don’t know how many stalls there are now.

   The two walked as a walk for digestion, and it didn't take long to arrive at the train station.

   Said it is a square, but in fact it is not too big, and the railway station building is quite small, which is incomparable to Nanyang Railway Station 20 years later. But there are not many people at all: rows of stalls have been set up in the square, with all kinds of messy wires above their heads.

   "The things here are not as good as those of the state-owned stores."

   looked around at random. In front of a booth, Guan Xingquan pointed to the bracelets and decorations in the booth and said.

  Yanxian dialect, the stall owner can’t understand, otherwise he has to be annoyed!

   I look down on other people's things, saying that the order of their goods is not authentic.

   "Do you think what you buy in the afternoon is a local stall? Good mines and good rough stones are all controlled by the state-owned factories, and self-employed people will eat bits and pieces."

   After finishing talking here, Zhang Nan spoke Mandarin and said to the 30-year-old stallholder in front of him: "Boss, do you have any old jadeware?"

   The stall owner has long noticed that these two big men who speak southern dialects feel like two fat sheep.

   "Yes, of course there is!"

   said this took a small paper bag from a bag under the booth.

   "The jade axe of the Warring States period, a ritual weapon, absolutely rare!"

   speaks quite proudly.

   This is a small white jade axe with a handle that is more than ten centimeters long. There is a bit of soil under the light. The quality of the jade seems to be a bit dry because it has been buried in the soil for too long.

   But Zhang Nan didn't answer it, but smiled and shook his head and said: "Boss, we can't afford to buy things from the Shang Dynasty."

   Upon hearing Zhang Nan's words, the stall owner smiled awkwardly.

   "The boss is particular!" He put the jade ax away as he said, but he was not angry.

   Be careful, that's because Zhang Nan didn't open his mouth and said that what he took out was wrong.

   What kind of sheep is this? expert!

  Because Guan Xingquan did not understand the subtext in Zhang Nan’s dialect, Zhang Nan took the initiative to say to him in dialect: "This style of jade axe is a copy of the Shang Dynasty jade axe in the museum, and a little artistic creation has been added to the shape.

After    is done, it is heated with fire and put in cold water at once, and it looks dry and white. Then use the loess and glue together to process it, just like it was just dug out. "

   Actually, Zhang Nan felt very kind when he saw the jade axe. It would be mass-produced in the 90s, with various sizes and unique shapes. He has seen it many times, but he didn't expect this to be there.

   "Boss, from Jiangnan?"

   The business failed, and the stall owner didn’t take it seriously.

   "Well, from Jiangnan." He handed a cigarette to the other party.

   The stall owner took the cigarette, "Do you two want old jadeware, or?"

   This is a cliché: Such a connoisseur is not here to buy new jadeware when he comes to the night market stall.

   "Look at them all."

   Zhang Nan didn't say he died either.

   "Two people, talk inside."

   The stall owner took out two small folding chairs and placed them inside the stall.

   Zhang Nan and the two were not welcome, and went around and sat down.

   It seems that the stall owner should be a bit of a real guy, otherwise they won't let the two talk inside: just now there was a stall, if the good things were handed over and the target was too big, it wouldn't be good if one inadvertently caused crowds.

   "The old jade I have on hand is really not good, but yesterday I bought two bronze mirrors. Good things. Would you like to take a look?"

   Seeing the slightly mysterious look of the stall owner, Zhang Nan smiled and said: "Take it out, boss, have you ever seen any policeman who can speak Jiangnan dialect come to your place to fish?"

   "Haha!" The stall owner also smiled: Jiangnan merchants have seen a lot of them, there are ten different pronunciations, and a dialect is like a heavenly book. Outsiders can't learn it for decades! I haven't seen the police from Jiangnan Province come here to handle the case, so I can rest assured.
