Chapter 89 Chapter 089

"What's the matter? Are you frightened by the situation in front of you?" Liu Yufei looked at Jia Sidao's dazed expression, and couldn't help asking a little amusingly, "I, who needs Moyu's birthday star, don't even pay for it." You are not discouraged, you look a little listless." "Who is listless, I'm just sighing." Jia Sidao responded casually. It can't be said that Jia Sidao didn't care about it. The architectural layout around the Town God's Temple is in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the interior decoration is extremely modern and commercial.With such a contrast, at the beginning, Jia Sidao was quite happy. After all, the market can really spread out when it is commercialized.

Didn't you see that the surrounding area is full of people coming and going, and there is a lot of traffic? Regardless of the skin color, nationality, or knowledgeableness of these people, whether they want to pick up the loopholes here, or just come to join in the fun, you can feel the sincere love for these antiques on their faces. admiration.The heritage of history is far from disappearing with the passage of time, on the contrary, it will become more fragrant as time goes by. However, there are so many things, and it is not easy to find something good. Antique furniture, the four treasures of the study, ancient calligraphy and paintings, agate jade, Chinese and foreign coins, shadow puppets, religious tokens, ethnic costumes, etc., are all available.For a novice like Jia Sidao who came here with enthusiasm, ready to pick up the loopholes, but lacks in actual ability, it is really confusing.

It is no wonder that Jia Sidao's mood is not so high. In this way, it is not easy to encounter leaks in the antique market.If not, I'm afraid everyone will play with some antiques, right?Jia Sidao liked a few things that looked good, but when he asked the price, he dared not make a move. He really didn't know what to do! Fortunately, most of the people are like Jia Sidao. There are many people who ask, but few people who actually take action.Unless it is a fake that is obviously bought for fun, the price is low, and it is not bad as a souvenir, so everyone will have fun. Compared with the general antique market, the storefronts of the Town God's Temple are very neat and orderly arranged, which looks very grand.It's like Liu Yufei's black jade birthday star carvings, so naturally he started with jade shops and the like.Perhaps, apart from those specific enthusiasts, there are still relatively few people who are interested in these jade and jade raw materials.Most of these stores are concentrated at one end of the Town God's Temple, which is considered to be in the corner, and the location is not too conspicuous.

At the entrances of several shops, the number of people has decreased significantly.The shop still has antique blue bricks and white tiles, but it is even more cool.After visiting a few stores, the internal products and furnishings are similar.There are mostly pieces of jade products, such as jade bracelets, necklaces, pendants, ring faces, jade Buddha statues and so on. Every time Liu Yufei hurriedly went to the counter beside the Jade Buddha Statue to have a look, but he always got nothing.There are not many materials of black jade, but there are still some white jade.As for those carved into birthday stars, they are even rarer.Images of Maitreya and Guanyin are quite common.Moreover, the decorations of the jade Buddha statues are almost not too big, and many of them are even pendants.This is undoubtedly too small for Liu Yufei's goal.

The old man is talking about one, so you can't take one back like a jade pendant, right? "Hey, the plaque of that shop is quite interesting." Just as he didn't know what to say, Jia Sidao saw a familiar name, "Shi Zhixuan".This is an attractive store name for young people like Jia Sidao. "Come on, let's go take a look." Previously, the two of them went to the jade store, but after entering this "Shizhixuan", the store is not big, but it is very neat and clean.There were not many people inside, and the boss seemed to be in his forties. When he saw Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei coming in, he didn't say hello.With his mouth facing a few customers in front of the counter, he was explaining a seal!

Compared with the bosses of the previous jade shops, this boss is obviously much more enthusiastic.At least, he didn't have to wait for the guest to ask before he would answer a few words. This made Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei's initial impression of this store not bad. Liu Yufei naturally went looking for the Jade Buddha statue.Jia Sidao looked at the products on the counter slightly, most of them were strange stone ornaments in different shapes, which were completely carved according to the shape of the stone, adding a bit of natural beauty.There are also a lot of ink cartridges, with different colors and countless seals.Moreover, Jia Sidao also saw the bloodstone that one party had admired for a long time, but the amount of blood on it was not much, and the carving was not perfect, and it looked a bit defective.

Fortunately, it was a fresh picture, so Jia Sidao took a closer look. It was Liu Yufei who called Jia Sidao at this moment.Jia Sidao heard the reputation, and in the window on the wall, there is a sculpture of a birthday star. From a distance, it seems to be made of jade. No wonder Liu Yufei is excited.Jia Sidao stepped forward and took a closer look through the counter. The appearance of the birthday star was quite vivid, showing a kind of robustness, especially the expression of the whole face, which was very plump. Just looking at it, its material is not quite like Moyu, and Liu Yufei obviously discovered this too.

Speaking of which, based on Liu Yufei's familiarity with Moyu, such a mistake would definitely not occur.It's just that the two of them have been shopping for a long time, but they haven't found a decent one.At this moment, when he suddenly saw a similar shape and a more suitable size, Liu Yufei felt a little ecstatic for a while. "Boss, what material is this birthday statue made of?" Seeing Liu Yufei's somewhat embarrassed and disappointed expression, Jia Sidao asked the boss. "It's a frozen stone from Shoushan Mountain in Fujian." The boss knew what Jia Sidao was asking about without even looking at it.Who made Liu Yufei and Jia Sidao so excited and happy just now?

However, even before asking the question, the result was already guessed. After hearing the words, Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei still had some disappointment on their faces. Turning around, Jia Sidao turned his head and asked the boss: "Boss, do you have Moyu's birthday statue here?" "Moyu's?" The boss hesitated for a moment, then muttered, "How big is it? There are small ones." "It's similar to that one." Jia Sidao pointed to the frozen stone birthday star in the window. "Then there is no more." The boss shook his head, and continued to talk about the seal with the guests. He seemed to have caught a glimpse of Jia Sidao's disappointed eyes, so the boss raised his head again and said, "If you are not in a hurry, On weekends, you can go to those brokers and ask, maybe you will gain something."

"Thank you, boss." Jia Sidao echoed, went out of the store, looked at Liu Yufei, and asked, "Let's go, what are your plans now, are you really planning to wait here until the weekend? ... This is Nothing right." When it comes to collecting things, most of them have no fixed goals. Basically, they only collect what they encounter.For example, Liu Yufei rushed to Yangzhou to collect Jasper's Avalokitesvara jade pendant. After all, it is still a rare thing.Most of the time, people who play collection want to get something from the front line, so they have to go to the countryside to find it by themselves.

Liu Yufei naturally understood these ways, and if he had time, he might as well entrust some acquaintances to find more ways.After all, if the brokers have something on hand, most of the objects they sell are some regular customers, or shops in the antique market and other places. Seeing Jia Sidao's schadenfreude look, Liu Yufei couldn't help saying angrily: "You think I'm stupid, I'm going to..." Just as I was about to say something else, my phone rang. Picking up the phone, Jia Sidao only vaguely heard Liu Yufei saying, "The buyer has been found?...the person is still there?...Oh, okay, I'll be there right away." Seeing Liu Yufei happily clapping Looking at Jia Sidao's shoulder, he said with a little joy: "It seems that my luck has returned, and the road has turned around, and there is no unparalleled road..." "Why, that Moyu birthday star has come back?" Jia Sidao asked speculatively. "It's not that easy, it's not sure." Liu Yufei said, "However, I asked the informant over there to check the buyer's information based on the information provided by the seller. No, I just got some news right now. The man was found, and he is still in Yangzhou. So, buddy, I’m sorry, you can continue to wander here slowly, I have to go to Yangzhou as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the buyer leaves Yangzhou , when the time comes, it will be even more troublesome to find another person.” "It seems that this is really good news." Speaking of it, it was the first time Jia Sidao saw Liu Yufei happy all morning. "That's right." Liu Yufei praised, "As long as there is still hope, I will not give up. Let's go, call if you need anything." Saying that, Liu Yufei didn't hesitate, and went directly to the station.Leaving Jia Sidao watching his back, thinking about what he said before leaving. Perhaps, even Jia Sidao himself did not expect that for a long time to come, he would become like Liu Yufei now, chasing the seller for a favorite antique, from one city to another. ? However, when it comes to collecting, who hasn't spent ten days and half a month with others for a good thing?Some of them can even last three to five years, because they like it from the bottom of their hearts!Even if the process is rough, collectors will enjoy it!
