Chapter 246 Blood Jade

Standing behind him was a farmer-looking man with bronzed skin, a red nose, and an embarrassing face.

He scratched his head and said, "If you want to go to jail for stealing money, how dare I!"

I turn around and leave.

But he quickly walked up to me and said, "Brother, I'm not stealing money!"

"I also just came out of that antique shop. I wanted to sell them something, but if I didn't sell it, they couldn't tell the truth."

"But my stuff is really not a lie! I saw you chatting with the store in the store and bargaining, and the store was speechless by what you said. I thought you must be the most professional. Take a look at my thing. , if you think it's suitable, how about you accept it? If you don't think it's suitable, you can leave, it won't waste much time!"

I glanced at him and asked, "Fisherman?"

Red Nose said in surprise: "How do you know?!"

His body smelled very fishy, ​​and the backs of his hands were mainly covered with flesh bumps, which were called fish scale knots in the folk, and scientifically explained as a type of flat warts, typical of the hand characteristics of people who have killed too many fish.

I didn't answer him directly, but asked, "Something fished out of the sea?"

The red nose replied: "Yes! I cut open the belly of the fish some time ago and got it out, a piece of jade pendant."

"Others said it might be a good thing, so I was asked to sell it in the city. Today I deliberately didn't go out to sea and ran for a day, but seven or eight antique shops refused to accept it. It's not true."

"It's getting late, and I'm in a hurry to go back. If you think it's suitable, you buy it. Otherwise, I didn't go to sea this day, and I didn't sell it for a penny. When I go back, my wife will scold me to death."

I'm sure he's not a liar.

For one reason, scammers will never say that their things have been identified as fake by seven or eight antique shops.

It's like going to see a doctor. If the doctor says, I have seen many people with this disease, but none of them have been cured.

But no one would believe him.

Some people may ask, is it possible that this person is a more advanced scam?

possible.

But more advanced scams, like this kind of person who is really a fisherman, can't do it at all.

Primary school students cannot solve calculus.

I said, "Take it out and have a look."

Hearing the words, Red Nose looked delighted, took out something from his bosom, and opened the cloth outside.

My brain jumped.

It turned out to be a blood jade the size of a little finger.

Blood jade is also called Xueqin jade, which means that blood has penetrated into the jade, and it has been formed after hundreds of years. It is very rare and extremely precious.

The reason for this thing is a bit scary.

When the ancient people just died, when they swallowed their last breath, they stuffed the jade into the mouth of the person. The jade would enter the throat with the breath and enter the dense blood vessels. blood jade.

However, not every piece of jade made in this way will form blood jade. It needs a combination of various factors such as geographical conditions, temperature, infection speed, and jade blood-sucking degree to finally form.

Because of its rarity, blood jades, no matter temple princes or nobles or folk peddlers, are extremely sought after. Even blood jades without any inheritance, their prices have always been at the top of the pyramid of jade antiques.

Folk blood jade counterfeiters often stuff the jade into the mouths of dogs, sheep and other animals, suffocate the animals alive with tape, bury them in the ground, and dig them out after several years to get blood jade.

In the antique business, this kind of imitation jade is called "dog treasure" and "sheep treasure".

The blood jade formed by this method is impervious to blood and floats on the surface, not bright in color but exaggerated and vulgar, and has no value.

Of course, some counterfeiters find it troublesome and directly dye it with inferior Xiu jade, which is poisonous instead.

I took a closer look at the one with the red nose.

The ancient jade material is full of blood and goes straight to the heart of the jade, the whole body is translucent and flawless.

This is the real thing!
"Why don't they?" I asked.

Red Nose replied: "I don't quite understand either! They basically say that blood jade cannot be formed in the sea, because people buried at sea will either rot quickly or be swallowed by fish, and blood jade will never be produced."

"I heard what they said. It seems that I dyed a small ancient jade to fool people. Although the dyeing technique is good, I can't make up stories. It's a pity that a small ancient jade is worth thousands of dollars if it is not dyed. It's worthless now, are you angry?"

The judgments of these antique shop appraisers are very reasonable.

An object appeared in a place that could not have existed.

No one would believe it.But it would be even more impossible to say that it was an authentic blood jade that was thrown into the sea by someone else, was eaten by a fish, and then fished out by Red Nose.

This probability is like telling others that you have a relationship with an alien, it is simply not credible.

But I really believe in my eyesight.

This is indeed an authentic blood jade!
There is no flaw at all!

I asked, "Are you sure it was cut out from the belly of a fish?"

Hearing the words, Red Nose raised his hand and swore excitedly: "Several fishermen have witnessed this incident with their own eyes. If I lie, I will be struck with a thunderbolt."

I thought for a while and asked, "What kind of fish is this?"

Red Nose rolled his eyes and recalled: "Cross crucian carp."

I wondered: "In Danshui Creek?!"

Red Nose replied: "That's right! Before I went to sea, I fished it from a stream by the sea. I didn't take it seriously at the time and threw it into the cabin. Later, when I killed the fish, I found something in its stomach." .”

I asked: "You have fished crucian carp by the stream, there are small hills and graves, right?"

When Red Nose heard it, his expression was filled with astonishment: "Hey, how do you know?! It rained a while ago, and the hills collapsed, and there were indeed several rotten graves. It's not... Boss, do you want this thing? I don't want it. But go back immediately!"

I am not only dumb.

It is true that fish cannot live out of water.

But there is a kind of fish called crucian carp, which can climb mountains and live on land for up to six or seven days.

This fish also has a characteristic. Whenever there is a major change in the living environment, it likes to climb up on the land and swing around twice. It also likes to drill muddy ditches.

no doubt.

This blood jade is not from the sea, but from the cemetery in Xiaoshanbao.

The heavy rain washed away the graveyard, revealing the blood jade.

Due to the change of the environment due to the heavy rain, the mountain crucian carp in the stream climbed up the hill. When it was digging into the mud on the mountain, it swallowed the small blood jade, and was finally caught by the red nose.

Wonderful?
This is indeed the most peculiar source of antiques in my antique career!
But I don't need to tell the fisherman in front of me, I guess he doesn't understand much.

I asked, "How much do you plan to sell?"

Red Nose scratched his head: "A thousand lines?"

"Are you sure?" I asked.

Red Nose frowned and said, "Forget it, five hundred..."

I said, "I like this thing very much. I will give you two thousand. If you want to sell it, you can sell it. If you don't sell it, you can take it. I won't say another word."

The red nose suddenly widened its eyes and looked at me like a fool.

I get up and go.

The red nose quickly stopped me: "Sell, sell, sell!"

He took the money and walked away very happy.

Holding the blood jade, I took a few glances at the setting sun.

The jade reflects the setting sun.

The setting sun is like blood.

Really good stuff!
I thought that the guys who opened the antique shop were clever and mistaken for good goods.

After walking a few steps forward, a sentence suddenly came to mind.

An object appeared in a place that could not have existed.

A flash of light flashed by.

My scalp exploded instantly.

Methods for identification of counterfeit Mianjiao imperial caps.

I actually figured it out!
