Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

Chapter 38 Ding Mao’s uncertain statue

Ding Mao is most willing to look at the goods alone, without unruly interruptions or prying, and avoids many people who want to talk nonsense, so that the transaction price can be negotiated more easily.

Not long after, the stall owner's brother came back. After asking him to look at the stall, he took Ding Mao and others to see the goods.

It's a coincidence that the stall owner parked his car very close to where the Dingmao people parked. It was an old-style van!

As soon as he opened the car door and saw the scene inside the car clearly, Ding Mao was filled with 1 fucks in his heart!

I saw that the back seat of the car had been removed, a pair of huanghuali four-glazed poufs, and an official hat chair of huanghuali gall wood were randomly placed there without any protection. This is too inappropriate. It's happened!

However, what made Ding Mao even more worried was that the young stall owner brought over a wooden box filled with huanghuali official boxes.

After opening it, he took out several small objects which left Ding Mao speechless.

I am really blessed with good luck after my rebirth. Could it be that I have given all my luck from the previous life to this life!

I thought I would rely on my memories and experiences in my previous life to make a fortune, but now it seems that I will be unstoppable just by luck!

Several small objects are: a snuff bottle with a full green jade tourmaline cover, a full green jade ring, and a full green jade ring inlaid with gold.

And everyone is old and doesn’t want it!All are products of the Qing Dynasty!

The finger wrench was originally an archery tool that was worn on the thumb to prevent hand injuries when shooting arrows.

Later, it gradually evolved into decoration and became a symbol of status for some dignitaries.

Before the Manchu and Qing Dynasties entered the customs, most finger ring materials were made of antlers or bones. After entering the customs, they gradually developed into precious and smooth materials such as jade, jade, crystal, and porcelain.

The ring rings worn by ordinary bannermen are mostly made of white jade, while the ring rings worn by nobles are made of jade.

"Brother, these things are fine, you can negotiate the price!"

"Brother, to tell you the truth, I have just started this business and I don't know the prices very well, but I mistakenly thought that this jade snuff bottle is worth [-], and these two rings are also worth [-]!"

"Brother, the price of your snuff bottle is reasonable, but these two rings are not cheap!"

The young stall owner was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and said: "That pipe is still selling for [-], these two rings are not worth [-] each?"

Ding Mao smiled and said: "Brother, that pipe is a plume pipe. It was used to distinguish the official's hat. It is of different nature. Let's say this ring is worth ten thousand, and this one is probably gold. It’s only about ten grams, and the hourly gold price is 1200, and this and that are 3000, so this is only over [-]!”

The young stall owner thought for a moment and felt that what Ding Mao said made sense, so he asked: "Brother, how much do you want to give me?"

Ding Mao could only pretend to think for a moment and said, "Thirty thousand, maybe!"

The young stall owner quickly refused: "That won't work. You can't sell it for [-] yuan. If you want to buy it sincerely, just [-] yuan!"

"Thirty-five thousand is really a bit high, so let's put this box on top and let it be thirty-five thousand!"

While Ding Mao was bargaining, he also tested whether the stall owner understood the nature of the box.

"That's not possible, there's something else in the box!"

When Ding Mao heard it, he felt that there was something wrong. The stall owner probably didn't know that the box belonged to Huanghuali, let alone its value.

"I just want the box and nothing else, just to show my brother that he's in a hurry! In this way, since there are still things, you can show them all to me. Maybe I can buy them all!"

Hearing this, the stall owner hesitated again and said: "I don't really want to sell those two pieces of porcelain. I haven't figured it out yet. They seem to be the official kilns they said!"

Ding Mao couldn't help but feel a little excited when he heard the word "official kiln". He had never had the opportunity to buy it before, but he didn't expect to see it here today.

But he said: "Official kilns are not necessarily valuable. If there are hundreds or thousands of kilns from the Qing Dynasty, there are many, unless they are from the Song Dynasty, they are still very valuable!"

The stall owner thought for a while and said, "Then I'll take it out for you and take a look!"

With that said, he took out a piece of Ji-red glaze porcelain from the official box and the front seat of the car respectively!

One is a jade pot spring bottle, the other is a water vase, both are glazed with red glaze, and the glaze is evenly applied, the shape of the vessel is regular, and the texture is delicate!

"I heard them say that the yellow glaze ones are valuable and are only used in the palace. The red ones are probably worth less!"

Ding Mao deliberately pretended not to understand very well, but he understood a little bit. He took the two pieces of porcelain and tasted them carefully.

Both pieces are inscribed in regular script with two lines and six characters, "Made in the Yongzheng Year of the Qing Dynasty". Judging from their styles such as pedicure and body glaze, they are from the Yongzheng Dynasty.

And while Ding Mao was looking at these two pieces of porcelain, the stall owner brought out a Buddhist statue that even Ding Mao couldn't understand.

Gilt bronze double statue of Yamantaka with 34 arms, about 22 centimeters high.

Yamantaka is the angry incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva to suppress heavy ghosts. The Tibetan name is "Yamandaga". It is one of the main deities enshrined in the Supreme Part of Tantra. It is the major of Gelug Sect and Sakya Sect. object.

The double body statue with 34 arms, together with body, speech and mind, represents the 37 qualities of the Bodhisattva Buddha, namely the four mindfulness, four right efforts, four spiritual feet, five roots, five powers, seven factors of enlightenment and eightfold path.

The 34-arm right hand holds a gaoyang, moon knife, white tube, pestle, hook knife, javelin, moon axe, sword, hook knife, arrows, stick, bone staff, Dharma wheel, vajra, awl, dagger, tambourine, and the left hand holds an elephant skin, Bone bowl, king's head, shield, fresh left leg, rope, bow, intestine, bell, fresh left arm, mulberry cloth, three-pointed spear, stove, skull tool, human left arm, military flag, black cloth and other weapons, implying wisdom, Bravery, diligence, perseverance, etc.

The head has nine faces, representing the nine categories of Buddha's teachings. The head in the middle represents the King of Hell. The two horns represent the two truths. The three heads on the right symbolize anger, power, and tranquility. The three heads on the left symbolize purity, death, and anger. The head in the center The upper end symbolizes the man-eating Yaksha, and the top end shows the original image of Manjushri, symbolizing charity and peace.

Three eyes means clairvoyance, seeing everything. The erect hair means pointing to the Buddha's land. The giant mouth can swallow the three realms. The angry lines on the eyebrows are like fire.

Embracing the Ming concubine "Luolang Zawa" (Chinese translation means "Resurrection of the Dead") in her arms.

The two feet have great power and can press on the world. The right leg is flexed, the left leg is stretched, and the eight right legs press the eight heavenly kings. The symbols are men, buffalo, ox, deer, snake, dog, sheep and fox, indicating the eight achievements. , the left eight legs press the eight female Mingwangs. The symbols are eagle, owl, crow, parrot, eagle, duck, rooster and wild goose, which represent the eight freedoms and purity.

With Ding Mao's current level, he couldn't tell the age of this Yamantaka, but he felt that he had a good eye for it.

"Brother! This is all I can sell here. We don't care whether it is red glaze or yellow glaze. Anyway, I feel it is an official kiln. If I am not afraid of brothers' jokes, I am also afraid of losing it. Look at this Can you get thirty-five thousand for three? If it works, I’ll sell them to you together, if not, just buy those few!”

At this time, Ding Mao actually wanted to pay for it immediately. Just that snuff bottle would make him a lot of money in the future, although he would definitely not sell it!

Ding Mao plans to keep these jade pieces permanently. Unless he cannot sell them like in his previous life, he has no plans to liquidate them.

It was impossible for him to agree immediately. After all, he was still thinking about the few pieces of huanghuali in the carriage, and he had to bargain for a replacement.

"Brother, let's be honest. I can't tell the year of this Buddha statue, but I know a little bit about these two pieces of porcelain. The price you want is not ordinary. Last year, a yellow glaze engraved dragon official kiln bowl was auctioned. At [-] yuan, these two pieces are not as expensive as the other one!"

Ding Mao is really not talking nonsense. At the spring auction in 02, he did buy a yellow glaze engraved dragon official kiln bowl, but it was from the Guangxu official kiln.

"Then take those few pieces. I'll keep these for now, and then I'll talk about them after I study them and understand them!"

The stall owner was probably really afraid of losing the sale, and things didn’t develop according to Ding Mao’s ideas!

This made Ding Mao a little bit embarrassed, so he thought for a while and said: "Brother, when you understand the research, there may not be any more buyers. What's more, no matter how you calculate it, it may not be as valuable as the yellow glaze official kiln. Now the problem The key is that none of us understand Buddha statues. Otherwise, the total price is [-] yuan. You can give me all these things in the car! I will also bet on it!"

Hearing this, the young boss had nothing to hesitate. He bought these stools and chairs very cheaply. He originally wanted to take them to the market to get rid of them, but when his younger brother went to buy food, no one was watching the stalls, and he didn't have time to move them to the market. .

"Okay, I'll sell it to you then. It's up to you whether I sell it or not!"

When Ding Mao heard this, he stopped inking and counted the cash directly, and then several people moved the things directly to their car!
