Chapter 51 The Three-legged Golden Toad (2)
"Of course it's a good thing."
At this time, the shop owner came over, opened his eyes and lied: "This three-legged golden toad is also a treasure in our shop. It is carefully carved from yellow wax stone. You know the yellow wax stone, it is the kind outside,
Also called Huanglong Jade..."
"Okay, boss, you really think we don't understand."
Yu Feibai said contemptuously: "There is a difference between yellow wax stone and yellow dragon jade. Yellow wax stone may have yellow dragon jade, but yellow dragon jade cannot be yellow wax stone."
"Moreover, the texture of yellow wax stone is smooth and delicate. Whether it is transparent or opaque, the color of the stone is very pure. But although the stone you put outside is yellow, its texture is average. I am afraid it is not yellow wax stone, but comes from the Shangqing River.
Pebbles."
Yu Feibai chuckled and said: "The most important thing is that this three-legged golden toad is black in color with dark gray in the middle, and the texture is even rougher. Even ordinary pebbles are stronger than this."
"Hey, you are an expert, so why do you need me to say more?"
The shop owner didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled and said: "However, don't underestimate these stones. These stones were indeed picked up from the Shangqing River. However, the Shangqing River has been flowing for thousands of years, and it is even more so.
At the intersection, and with Zhang Tianshi sitting in charge, the river water has spiritual energy. The stones soaked and washed by the river water have some spiritual energy, and may be able to drive away ghosts and evil spirits..."
Yu Fei smiled and said nothing. When it came to Zhang Tianshi, even though he didn't believe it, he still said a few words on someone else's territory to avoid making people look down on him. Of course, it's a new era now, and the shop owner is not very old.
At most, they are just using Zhang Tianshi's name to make money, but in fact they don't have much devout faith.
Seeing Yu Feibai's silence, the shop owner also changed the subject and said: "The stone material of this three-legged golden toad is indeed not very good, but it is really old. It is also fine in workmanship and has a good meaning. It can attract wealth and bring peace of mind."
A house can ward off evil spirits and bring wealth. There is an old saying that if a golden toad is in your home, your fortune will be prosperous... You are right to buy it back."
Although we just concluded a big deal, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. How can we not do business if we have it?
I noticed that Wang Guan seemed to be interested in buying this three-legged golden toad. No matter how he didn't pay attention to it before, he even regarded it as rubbish and placed it in the corner of the lowest floor of the wooden frame. But at this time, the shop owner was talking about the three-legged golden toad.
It is boasted that it is a rare treasure in the sky and an unparalleled treasure in the earth.
Wang Guan heard the sound and suddenly smiled and said: "You are wrong. This thing is not carved from stone, but made from red mud and gray pottery. If you don't believe it, look underneath. The mud has not even been dried and burned. It is about to turn into ashes."
"It's really like that."
Yu Feibai lowered his head to look at it, then stretched out his hand to touch it, and his fingers were immediately stained with some plaster.
"This thing should have been placed in the corner when the kiln was fired, and baked at a low temperature. I estimate that when the kiln was opened, this thing was not completely dry, and it was at most a semi-finished product." Wang Guan smiled and said: "After that,
The craftsman simply used a knife to carve it like this, and then slowly dried it in the sun, which gave it this stone-like characteristic."
"That makes sense. Why is it so rough? It turned out to be mud." Yu Feibai suddenly realized.
"To be honest, the shape of this golden toad with beads in it is quite special. I don't know if it's local cultural customs or the shape of a certain historical stage." Wang Guan frowned and said in a consultative tone: "Do you want to buy it back?
,please ask Uncle De for advice?"
Yu Feibai shrugged and said indifferently: "It's up to you."
What he was waiting for was this sentence. Wang Guan smiled and turned around and asked: "Boss, how much does this thing cost?"
"This is the number!" The shopkeeper held out a finger.
"Ten yuan?" Wang Guan said with a smile.
"one thousand."
The shopkeeper smiled and made it clear that he wanted to kill him.
"What, this thing costs one thousand, boss, you want to steal money." Wang Guan frowned, suddenly put down the three-legged golden toad, stretched out his hand to Yu Feibai and said: "Please use your mobile phone, take two pictures, go back and ask for advice.
Just uncle."
"No problem." Yu Feibai chuckled and took out his mobile phone.
When the shop owner saw this, he quickly said: "Oh, the asking price is so high, I'll pay you back when I get there. If you really want to buy it, the price is easy to negotiate."
"One hundred yuan, if you want to sell it, sell it. If you don't sell it, you will lose it." Yu Feibai said impatiently.
"One hundred is too little, let's add another hundred." The shopkeeper started to think carefully.
"Okay, let's wrap it up then." Wang Guan said calmly, looking like he was too lazy to care anymore. He took two hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it over.
“Thank you for your patronage and welcome your next visit.”
The shopkeeper took the money with a smile, picked up a simple paper box, and packed the three-legged golden toad. He didn't suspect anything else at all, and he didn't even see the excitement that flashed across Wang Guan's eyes when he lowered his head.
After holding the box and walking out of the antique store, Wang Guan's excitement calmed down a little.
"Today's harvest is good."
At this time, Yu Feibai smiled and said: "I'm going back. What about you, do you want to go together or continue sightseeing?"
"go back."
Wang Guan said without hesitation: "There are too many people, and you can't feel the charm of the ancient town in the promotional photos."
"That's what tourist attractions are like." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "Any famous landscape is bustling and noisy. Sometimes, traveling not only fails to make people relaxed, but makes people more irritable."
While talking, the two of them walked to the pick-up place and took the car away.
Soon after, the two returned to the visitor center, and when they arrived at the room, Yu Feibai couldn't wait to call Gao Dequan's mobile phone, wanting to show off his harvest to him.
The call went through and Gao Dequan was very interested when he heard Yu Feibai explain the situation and came back soon.
As soon as he entered the door, Yu Feibai waved enthusiastically: "Uncle De, come and see."
Gao Dequan walked over quickly and saw that on the table, Yu Feibai had arranged twenty jade belt boards neatly and orderly according to the rules of jade belt combination.
As soon as he saw the crystal luster on the jade belt plate, Gao Dequan already made a rough judgment in his mind. He touched it carefully and looked at it carefully. He immediately praised it and said: "This thing is very good. Looking at this cloud and dragon pattern, you can tell that it is
The fine jade belts of the Ming Dynasty can only be worn by people of at least the same level as princes and ministers."
"So, I bought the right thing." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "As soon as I saw the carving, the shape, and the quality of the jade, I knew it was the right thing."
"Fei Bai, you are making great progress."
Gao Dequan praised, picked up a square jade belt plate, pointed to the dragon pattern on it and said: "Actually, if you want to know whether this jade belt plate is imitation jade, you can tell by looking at the dragon pattern. Most of the fake jade nowadays
It was carved with a mechanical drill, and then pickled, etched, and grilled to artificially mutilate it, so it looks very unnatural."
"But now looking at the cloud-dragon carvings on this jade belt board, it is clearly a typical feature of the Ming Dynasty. The dragon head is long, and the two eyes are very close together, making it look dull. The Ruyi cloud-patterned nose rolls upward, and two long lines appear on both sides.
The beard stretches upward according to the situation, and the hair rushes upward or forward... This form is also the so-called angry hair!"
Gao Dequan commented carefully: "In addition, there is a kind of chilong pattern. The head is round and slightly long, the facial features are concentrated under the face, there are two crescent patterns on the forehead, and a strand of long hair blows in the wind at the back of the head. The body is long, and the limbs are like leaping.
The joints are engraved with cloud patterns, and the branches at the tail are rolled up... etc. These are all features only found in the Ming Dynasty."
