Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

  Chapter 494 Gloomy Wooden Inlaid Silver Carved Plaque

   It’s still such a comfortable life. If you have time, you can go out and visit various antique old streets. If you encounter good ones, you can go back and enrich the Guyunxuan Museum. It’s just that there aren’t many good things in the folk. If he has time, he still wants to go to Europe and the United States to shop. Because of the huge cultural differences, many lost national treasures in China are likely to be thrown aside by them as mortal things, making the pearls dusty and making people feel sad. regret.

Li Mo went to a few antique shops, and the things in them were very ordinary, probably the rich in the mainland, or they wanted to show off to their relatives and friends after going back, so even if it was cumbersome to carry, even if the same things were more expensive The mainland is much more expensive, and they are willing to pay for it.

   "Boss, can you go in and have a look at this jewelry store?"

  The poisonous snake asked in a low voice.

  Li Mo looked up and smiled: "Do you want to buy a gift for your girlfriend?"

The poisonous snake was a little embarrassed: "I'm not a girlfriend, but I have a crush on her. I think she's interested in me, so I want to buy a nice gift for her. Boss, help me choose one. Budget It’s fine within 10,000. It’s too expensive, and I’m afraid she might be pressured not to accept it.”

   "Okay, let's go in and have a look."

  The styles in this jewelry store are all-encompassing, including gold, silver, jewelry and jade, and the styles are even more diverse. A small half of the styles feel like products from Southeast Asian countries. Because of curiosity, tourists who come to choose jewelry are very interested in those exotic goods.

   "What do you want to buy for the woman, bracelet, necklace, pendant or bracelet?"

   "It's fine, I trust the boss's vision."

   "I've convinced you too. It's obvious that you are chasing someone to give you a gift, but in the end I want to choose a gift for you. Maybe people are looking at your thoughts rather than any gift."

   "Hey, boss, you are tired, I will treat you to a big meal tonight."

  Li Mo smiled slightly, and then looked along the counter. The size of this jewelry store is not large, but there are many types. The layout of the counter is carefully designed, and the jewelry is placed inside. Under the blessing of some special lights, the style and grade have been improved a lot.

   "A lot of beautiful jewelry."

  The poisonous snake is dazzled.

   "If you boast like this, then you will be taken advantage of, so don't talk too much later."

   "Okay, I just watch and don't talk."

  Li Mo looked while walking. The workmanship of the things here is still acceptable, but they are all clearly marked with prices. It is almost impossible to bargain for a cheap price. If it is sold as an antique, the boss can ask for a price, and he can also bargain on the spot. Whoever can take advantage of it depends on whose vision is stronger.

"Hello, sir, do you need any help?" A fat middle-aged man came over with a smile on his face, and he said with a business card in both hands, "I am the boss here, because the shop assistants are too busy, if you want If you want to see any jewelry, you can tell me."

Li Mo took the business card and looked at it and said, "Hello, Boss Chen, my friend and I want to come here to buy some more interesting jewelry. We can buy the things in your counter anywhere in the mainland. There is nothing new. As for those Southeast Asian styles Jewelry, we can't appreciate their beauty, so I don't know if there are other things in the store that we can look at again."

   "There are still quite a few in the warehouse. If you two want to take a look, how about I take you to the back to have a look?"

   "Okay, if you like it, we can choose a few more."

   It turned out that there was an independent small courtyard behind the store, with bedrooms on the east and warehouses on the west.

  The boss opened the warehouse, and the space inside was quite large, with two rows of shelves erected, filled with all kinds of jewelry.

   "Boss, where are these things purchased from? They are not of the same grade as those sold at the counter."

"Haha, sir, you have good eyesight. I usually buy these from the flea market. When I have free time, I will go there to set up a stall and sell them. The route I take is different. You and your friends pick and choose. How about I give you a package price?"

   "Then thank you boss, let's take a look first."

The jewelry on the shelf in this warehouse is mainly bracelets, bracelets, ordinary jade and heavily oxidized silver, and some jewelry are inlaid with many things that look like various gemstones, but in fact they are all plastic things. .

  Li Mo reached out and picked up a hanging tag from the shelf. It was a rectangular piece of wood carving, and the surface was carved with auspicious clouds and phoenixes. If you touch it with your hands, you can feel that the wood carving plaque has a thick layer of pulp. The hanging tag is also bordered with oxidized gray-black silver. If you look closely at the light, there are many small dragons engraved on the border.

  Wood carving cards are slightly pressed, which is a little different from ordinary wood. With his boss behind his back, Li Mo took a closer look at the light. It was crystal clear and translucent. At first glance, it had both the texture of wood and the texture of jade. Good guy, this hanging tag is actually carved out of gloomy wood, and the craftsman even wrapped it with silver, which has the meaning of dragon and phoenix bringing good luck.

  If it is a modern handicraft, the owner must know its value, and it will not easily appear on the flea market.

   Li Moyi swept his pupils, and sure enough, a dark gray halo was emitted from the wooden tablet. This is an ancient artifact from the early Qing Dynasty. In that era, dragon and phoenix patterns could only be used by the royal family.

  Judging from the small dragons carved on the border, they are all three-clawed dragons, and the phoenix on the surface of the tag is also without a crown, which shows that this thing did not come from the palace, but from a prince’s mansion, or the prince’s or princess’s mansion.

  Li Mo kept it calm, and then picked four more pieces from the shelf.

  One tag, two bracelets, two bracelets.

   "Boss, let's see how much these five items cost in total?"

The fat boss was always smiling like Maitreya Buddha. He stepped forward and took a few glances and said, "Sir, I won't ask you for a price, just earn some hard work. If it's a single piece, it's three thousand for each piece. Buy together, how about I give a package price of 10,000 yuan?"

"Boss, you can't lie to us. I have been to the flea market not far away before. The price of such things is usually between 200 and 500. You gave me a discount and the average price is 500." Six times the profit, it's too easy for you to earn it so hard."

   "Sir, you also have to see how the goods are, me." The boss didn't feel embarrassed at all when he was exposed, but wanted to continue to fool around.

Li Mo directly interrupted him and said, "I won't let you be busy, I'll give you two thousand and five for these five items. If you want, we'll pay right away. If you think you can sell more at the flea market in the future If it's one or two hundred yuan, we won't bother you and leave immediately."

   "Okay, Mr. Wang is a straightforward person, and I am also a cheerful person, so I will make the deal according to your wishes. Here, please, we will pay at the front, and I will pack the five things for you."

  Viper paid 2,500 yuan, and the boss personally took out five exquisite boxes, put them in one by one, and graciously sent them to the door of the store.

   "Boss, you can buy five pieces for 2,500 yuan, which is really cheap."

   "Keep that hanging tag, and throw the other four in a trash can."

  The poisonous snake was stunned for a moment, and then a surprise appeared on its face. The boss found a treasure, and the two bracelets and bracelets were used to cover people's eyes.

   "Boss, what is the origin of this hanging tag? Tell me, so I can show it off in front of her when I go back."

   "Have you heard of golden nanmu?"

"I've heard that He Shen, a corrupt official of the Qing Dynasty in the TV series, used golden nanmu to build a nanmu hall because of violation of regulations, and his house was ransacked. Boss, you mean this hanging tag is made of golden nanmu, then It's really worth spending two thousand and five hundred yuan."

"It is a gloomy wood formed after the carbonization of golden nanmu. It is known as the oriental **** wood. The price is several times more expensive than golden nanmu. Moreover, this gloomy wooden hangtag is carved with dragon and phoenix, which was only used by the royal family in ancient times. You I want to tell the woman, if you take out this hanging tag and resell it, you can easily get 200,000 yuan, so don't just throw it away and lose it."

  The poisonous snake's eyes widened suddenly, and said quickly: "I will tell her well, thank you boss."

   "The bracelet is made of stone, and the bracelet is made of chemical plastic. Throw them away. It's harmful to put on your body."
