Chapter 173 Tongxin Jade(2/2)
Su Xiaofan said: "Our Sujiacun specializes in making bronzes. I made this a few years ago and sold it in the antique market."
Su Xiaofan was embarrassed to say that the price he sold for the square lei at that time was 2,000 yuan, purely as a modern handicraft.
Unexpectedly, the guy who bought it was a very shady guy. He turned around and tricked Zhao Zhengshan into coming in. He made fifty times the profit when he changed hands.
"Ah? This...is this true?"
When Zhao Zhengshan heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded. He regarded this square Lei as the most precious bronze in his collection, but he did not expect that it was actually a fake.
Su Xiaofan suppressed his laughter and said, "I still have two more at home, otherwise I'll give them to you later..."
"I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, Xiaofan, that you actually have this skill?"
Zhao Zhengshan reacted, but he was not angry, "Xiaofan, do you think this thing will become a real antique in a hundred years? If nothing else, Uncle Zhao is convinced by your craftsmanship!"
Even an old friend who is an expert could not spot the fake, and Zhao Zhengshan, the loser, recognized it. This only shows that Su Xiaofan's craftsmanship is so good that the things he makes can look fake.
"Uncle Zhao, how about I replenish this money for you?"
Su Xiaofan is really a little embarrassed. After dropping out of high school, he has been short of money and has done a lot of side work. Many things are old and well made.
"What are you talking about? I accepted this thing, which only shows that we are destined."
Zhao Zhengshan smiled and waved his hand, "Keep reading. Don't save Uncle Zhao's face. If it's a fake, point it out."
"That's not possible, I don't have the vision."
Su Xiaofan smiled bitterly and said: "You can only identify the things I made myself. I can't tell anything else..."
Su Xiaofan was embarrassed to complain. If he really pointed out all the fakes, most of the things in Uncle Zhao's collection room would be thrown out.
Miscellaneous items are a major category among antiques, and they are also the most common in the market and the most circulated among collectors. In other words, they are also the hardest hit area for counterfeiting.
From what Su Xiaofan has seen so far, there is one genuine item among the ten items in Zhao Zhengshan's house, and the value is not very high.
Now Su Xiaofan finally understands why Master is unwilling to show Zhao Zhengshan something. Every time he brings a fake item as a treasure, even Su Xiaofan is too lazy to look at it.
"Uncle Zhao, these jade articles you have collected are quite good."
When Su Xiaofan saw the jade collection, his eyes lit up.
Jade is relatively difficult to fake, because the quality of the jade itself is there, and anyone with a little knowledge can tell it at a glance.
Jade counterfeiting usually refers to making new jade old, or dyeing jade a clear color, thereby increasing the price of jade. There are almost no people who like to play with ancient jade who have not been fooled.
Zhao Zhengshan's jade collection includes new jade and ancient jade, and there are also several pieces of blood jade sewn into live lamb legs.
But generally speaking, the quality of the jades collected by Zhao Zhengshan is still good, and there are a few pieces of mutton-fat jade with skin that are of the highest quality.
"Hey, Uncle Jing, where did you get these two pieces of jade?"
When Su Xiaofan saw the jades placed together in a box, his eyes lit up.
The two pieces of jade are put together to form a shape, but the two pieces of jade can be separated separately, and after separation, they form the shape of a dragon and a phoenix.
Although the material of this jade pendant itself is not up to the quality of fine mutton-fat jade, it can be considered a mountain material from Hotan and is of better quality than ordinary jade.
What caught Su Xiaofan's fancy the most was the shape and meaning of this jade pendant.
A dragon and a phoenix symbolize men and women, and together they represent love and affection. It is perfect to give it to Brother Gang as a wedding gift.
Su Xiaofan could feel that these two jade pendants came from the same piece of jade, and they should be ancient jade. It is very rare for them to be preserved to this day.
"When I went to Shanghai a few years ago, I picked it up from an old lady at the antique market."
Zhao Zhengshan glanced at the two pieces of jade and said: "The old lady should come from a wealthy family. She doesn't have a stall, so she may be a little short on money. She wants to exchange some old things from this family for some money..."
Zhao Zhengshan collected these two pieces of jade more than ten years ago and spent 60,000 yuan at that time. He also felt that the jade had a very good meaning and was considered a good little gem among his collection of jade.
"Uncle Zhao, you have to give me these two pieces of jade."
Su Xiaofan was not polite, he just said it if he liked it, "My Brother Gang is getting married, and I don't know what to give him. This Tongxin Jade is very suitable. You have to make it happen for me, Brother Gang!"
"Hey, you kid, if I don't give you my co-authorship, it will destroy your brother Gang's marriage, right?"
Zhao Zhengshan was so angry at Su Xiaofan's words that he discovered that Su Xiaofan actually had such a helpless side.
Zhao Zhengshan knew Zheng Dagang, but was not very familiar with him. He only knew that Zheng Dagang and Su Xiaofan had a very good relationship.
"I don't have anything to give, Uncle Zhao. I won't let you suffer. How about exchanging ancient jade for ancient jade?"
Su Xiaofan thought for a moment and said: "You should also know what a magic weapon is. I will exchange a magic weapon for you, so that you will not suffer any loss."
Su Xiaofan swindled a lot of high-quality ancient jades on Ao Island, and several of them could contain magic weapons.
However, Su Xiaofan didn't plan to start a pottery business, and he didn't want to spend the repair value, so he gave it to Brother Gang to auction.
Later, Su Xiaofan can ask Brother Gang to get a piece back, and after the system is repaired, Yun Yang can produce a magic weapon and give it to Zhao Zhengshan.
"Huh? Exchange it with a magic weapon? Xiaofan, are you serious?"
Zhao Zhengshan was stunned when he heard this. He had a father who had dealt with cultivators and a daughter who was cultivating. He naturally knew what the magic weapon was.
"Uncle Zhao, can I still lie to you?"
It is not difficult for Su Xiaofan to get a magic weapon now.
Even if the system cannot store it, he can just take off the piece of black jade from his sister's neck. Anyway, he also gave Su Xiaoxiao his dragon-shaped jade pendant, so she has no shortage of protective weapons.
"Okay, deal!"
Zhao Zhengshan simply closed the box with a "snap", "Take the things first, then bring me the magic weapon later!"
As a father, Zhao Zhengshan could not give his daughter any resources for cultivation, but now that he had the opportunity to get a magic weapon, the Tongxin Jade was naturally nothing in his eyes.
"Okay, Uncle Zhao, what kind of jade artifact do you want?"
Seeing how cheerful Uncle Zhao was, Su Xiaofan asked with the attitude of serving everyone.
"Is this still a choice?"
Zhao Zhengshan's eyes were a little straightened, and he looked at Su Xiaofan and said, "Xiaofan, don't find a piece of jade to carve something yourself and send it to your Uncle Zhao. I don't know how to do it..."
"How can it be possible?"
Su Xiaofan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. It was all a crisis of trust caused by the square-shaped lei. He was an expert in bronze imitation, but not a jade carver.
"Uncle Zhao, my brother Gang is in the pottery business and is very famous in the Luochuan antique market. If you don't believe me, go and ask."
The magic weapon Su Xiaofan mentioned was not this magic weapon, but Uncle Zhao couldn't tell the difference anyway, so he could just give him a real jade magic weapon later.
"Is it reliable?"
Zhao Zhengshan looked at Su Xiaofan dubiously. He had never confiscated a magic weapon, but the old man would buy one from time to time.
"Absolutely reliable. Your old man bought a jade Guanyin from Brother Gang this year, as well as a Bagua mirror. You can call and ask."
Su Xiaofan also thought of this. The two magic weapons he had raised to test the water were sold by Brother Gang to the old man of the Zhao family. The two items were sold for a total of 20 million.
"It turns out that my father bought those two magical instruments from Zheng Dagang."
Zhao Zhengshan really knew about this, because the old man was very happy at that time and showed these two objects to Zhao Zhengshan.
Zhao Zhengshan believed Su Xiaofan, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Then you can get me a girl to wear."
"Uncle Zhao, the jade Guanyin that the old man received must have been given to your daughter. I will get you a Buddha. The male will wear the Guanyin and the female will wear the Buddha. You can keep it for yourself."
"I'm my age and I don't cause trouble, so how can I protect myself?"
Zhao Zhengshan insisted: "If you let me choose, find me a magic weapon that girls can use. I will send it to Yaoyao later."
"Okay, I'll go look for it at Brother Gang's place, and I'll deliver it to you in a few days."
Su Xiaofan sighed, poor parents in the world must leave good things to their children.
Su Xiaofan felt a little angry when he thought of this. He was a parent, so why was his father so unreliable?
He was obviously a cultivator who had money and wealth at his fingertips, but he acted like he was running around for a living in front of him and his sister all day long.
Before Su Xiaofan was eighteen years old, he always thought that his father went to sea to run a boat because he was poor.
