Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

Chapter 59: Golden Snake

  Chapter 59 Golden Snake

   This is an antique bracelet from the Tang Dynasty.

  Li Mo took a deep look, and there was actually a jade bracelet under the gold and silver covering. The jade bracelet was crystal clear and white, delicate and moist without any blemishes. This is the best mutton fat jade bracelet.

   No wonder the bracelet feels precipitated in the hand, there is really a superb bracelet inside.

   It's just that no one knows.

In the Tang Dynasty, the main common currency was copper coins, and gold and silver circulated less. It was not possible for ordinary mansions to wrap jade bracelets with gold and silver. Moreover, the top-quality jade bracelets were very valuable at that time. The purpose of this is to what?

   "Boss, this bracelet is exquisite in workmanship. It looks like it was left by the ancestors. I like it very much. If you want to buy it, please ask for a price."

   "I dug this out from a pile of antiques. I like it myself. I have worn it for more than a month. I am about to clean the oxide layer on the surface thoroughly. Maybe it will be more beautiful."

   "Boss, you're in business anyway, try asking a price you're willing to sell."

The boss then looked at Li Mo squarely, and thought this kid was quite interesting, she smiled and said: "You can also see that this is left by the ancestors, if you say that the gold and silver are really worthless now, but the things belonging to the ancestors are worthless." It’s not cheap anymore. Seeing that you really like it, I’ll make an offer, and if you accept it, I’ll transfer it to you.”

   "My shop is called Friday, and the asking price is 80,000."

  The boss saw that he was young, wearing ordinary casual clothes and carrying a bag, and thought he was just passing by for fun, so he offered a price that she thought was sky-high.

  Little kid, let him know that life is not easy.

   Li Mo was indeed stunned for a moment, he thought the boss would charge an exaggerated price, this price.

   Picked up the bracelet and played with it again, with a hesitant look on his face.

   "Boss, can you make it cheaper, I don't have so much money on my card."

  The boss blinked and asked back: "How much can you offer, 80,000 is the lowest price in my mind."

   "It's less than 55,000 yuan, and I want to save a few thousand yuan to play around here in Jinling. But I like this bracelet immediately, so can the boss sell it to me at a cheaper price?"

   Really misjudged, this kid still has money, the boss looked Li Mo up and down and said, "You really like it?"

"definitely."

   "My parents bought this before. I'll call them and ask them. As long as I don't lose money, I will sell it to you."

  The boss picked up the phone and went out to turn it around. Li Mo picked up the bracelet and studied the texture of the surface. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that these regular carvings were not simple.

   "I asked, if you really like it, I'll earn you 2,000 yuan on the basis of the cost, and you can pay 52,000 yuan. This price is not negotiable, otherwise I will keep it for myself."

  Li Mo didn't agree immediately, but thought for a while before saying: "If it's 500 cheaper, I'll save the fare to go home."

   "Okay, I see that you really like it, I'll give you a receipt, and we'll pay you both."

   "Okay, thank you boss."

  The boss is very happy. She hasn’t been this happy for a long time. This month has been a kind of torture for her, and she is mentally and mentally exhausted. As soon as more than 50,000 yuan arrives in the account, he will immediately be resurrected with full blood.

   Before leaving, he gave Li Mo the wooden jewelry box, saying that it was originally a set.

   Li Mo is naturally very grateful.

  Watching Li Mo go out, the boss finally couldn't help laughing, as if sweeping away the gloom before.

  The old items collected over 3,000 were sold for more than 50,000, which is a big pie that fell from the sky. No wonder my parents have been insisting on running the antique shop, and the profit from one order can catch up with the net profit of jewelry in two or three months.

  Li Mo laughed happily when he walked out the door. This bracelet needs to be studied carefully, and he found that what he likes most is this process of discovery and exploration.

   Putting the jewelry wooden box into his backpack, he dug out Professor Yu's phone and called.

   "Xiao Mo."

   "Professor Yu, I remember that you mentioned a delicacy and a bowl of soup in Jinling in the last interview. Tonight, you are always honored. I invite you to drink the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Soup, which is near the Confucius Temple."

   "Haha, Xiao Mo, you've got a heart. Okay, I'll be there on time at night, and you can send me the address."

   "I'm not very familiar with the other two curators and four experts, so I don't know if it's appropriate to invite rashly. Professor Yu, please help me make an appointment, just say it's a little kindness from my junior."

   "It's simple, we'll drink tea together, I'll convey your thoughts later, see you tonight."

"OK."

  Li Mo contacted Gu Zhijun again and asked him to reserve a large box for eight people.

   Next, he walked around the Confucius Temple for a few hours, mainly to feel the atmosphere and taste some delicious food.

  I picked a piece of Jade Buddha in a chain high-end gold store. The Jade Buddha is inlaid with gold, and it won't look high-profile when a girl wears it around her neck.

  At about half past five, Li Mo came to the gate of Tang Tianxia, ​​and saw Gu Zhijun whispering something to an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, while his wife stood aside depressed and silent.

   "Dad, it's because my mother didn't pay attention when choosing a birthday gift. Last year she gave me a head flower, and this year it's still a head flower. It just looks different."

   "Mom and Dad have a distinguished guest today, so I will definitely buy you a beautiful gift tomorrow, okay?"

   "It will deceive people."

   "Jiajia, who said your parents lied to you, they just want to give you a surprise."

  Li Mo walked over and greeted with a smile.

   "Are you Brother Mo?"

   "Uncle Xiaomo." Gu Zhijun patted her on the head.

   "No, I'm going to call Brother Xiao Mo." The little girl became stubborn and no one could do anything about it.

   "Second Brother Gu, we each go our own way." Li Mo didn't care about the address, and besides, he was not too old, making his uncle look old-fashioned. He took out a jewelry box from his backpack and handed it to Jiajia, "Happy birthday to the little beauty in advance."

  Gu Jiajia took it, opened it, and then smiled: "Thank you, brother Mo, I like the gift you bought for me very much."

  Gu Zhijun stretched out his head to take a look, and was about to grab it immediately.

   "What Brother Mo gave me is mine." Gu Jiajia ran away with the jewelry box in her arms.

   "Xiao Mo, this birthday present is too expensive."

  Gu Zhijun rubbed his hands a little embarrassed. The gold inlaid jade that Li Mo bought cost 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.

   "Second brother Gu, you treat me as an outsider by being polite to me. I didn't pay for lunch and just walked away with my ass."

   "Okay, brother, you wait, the second brother will prepare a big table of delicious food for you tonight."

  Li Mo didn't wait long at the door when he saw Professor Yu and his group walking over on foot, chatting and laughing all the way.

   "Professor Yu, Director Fu, Director Shi, hello, all experts."

   "I heard from Professor Yu that you are not only good at appraising antiques and curios, but also very good at gourmet food. The few of us will come here together to benefit from your credit."

  Curator Shi said jokingly.

   "Curator Shi, don't dare to say anything else, I will satisfy you when I can eat."

   "I know this 'Soup World' restaurant. The soup called Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is really amazing. Except for Xiaogui, everything else is fine."

  Curator Fu looked up at the signboard and said, "The words on the signboard are quite powerful, I'm afraid a famous artist was invited to help."

   "Everyone, let's advance to the private room. I still have something to ask everyone later."

   "It seems that this meal is not for nothing!"

   A group of people laughed and followed Li Mo into the second floor box of the restaurant.

  The nimble waiter has already brewed a pot of fragrant tea and poured a cup for everyone one by one.

   "Li Mo, you just said something happened, what is it?"

  Professor Yu really thinks that he is a very caring young man. He mentioned that sentence during the interview, and he still remembers it in his heart.

  Li Mo took out the jewelry box from his backpack and put it on the round table, opened it and took out the bracelet from it.

"Hey, it's a golden snake, and there really is such a bracelet." Curator Shi was surprised at a glance, "Old Fu, do you still remember that there was a similar folklore record in an ancient folk miscellaneous record when we read it at that time? We also discussed it."

Curator Fu picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully, and said, "This is an old object. A layer of oxidized paste has been formed on the surface. One end of this gold wire is round and pointed, and the other end is slightly conical and flat. It looks like a golden snake at first glance." The image of the bracelet is wrapped around the bracelet, and the first is connected."

   "The record of the golden snake wrapped around the bracelet is really not a folklore."

  Others saw the two curators being amazed again and again, so they couldn't help leaning over to have a glimpse.
