Jianbao life

Chapter 687

This Buddha statue made of old beeswax looks serene and majestic. Judging from the style and carving techniques of the Buddha statue, Chu Chen thinks it should be a product of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. From this point of view, this Buddha statue is rare and precious.

More importantly, the texture and color of the beeswax used in this Buddha statue are quite extraordinary, and the height of this Buddha statue is nearly [-] centimeters. Such a huge piece of old beeswax is not so easy to get. This also makes this Buddha statue more precious.

The fake beeswax was regarded as a good thing by Nian Dasha, but the real beeswax was thrown in the corner by him. Chu Chen thought it was funny when he thought about it.

However, without Nian Dasha, a fool, Chu Chen would not have picked up such a leak. To a certain extent, Chu Chen would have to thank this fool.

Not long after, Nian Dasha walked in from the door cursing, and he knew without guessing that he had asked the result of what Meng Yi said just now.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen stepped forward, raised the things in his hands, and asked, "Boss Nian, I want to invite this Buddha statue back. How much do you want?"

Nian Dasha looked at the things in Chu Chen's hands, and was slightly taken aback, because he didn't remember when he received the things. Of course, although he no longer remembered when he received the things, it didn't hinder He made an offer, and with a smile on his face, he gave Chu Chen a thumbs up and said:

"Boss Chu, you have a good eye. This is a Buddha statue made of old beeswax..."

"Okay, okay!" Hearing this, Chu Chen waved his hand directly and said, "This thing is obviously made of Xiuyu. If it is really old beeswax, would you be willing to put it in a corner?"

Xiuyu is a kind of jade with a long history of development and utilization in my country. It is known as one of the four famous jades in my country. However, except for a small part of Xiuyu, which is more expensive, other prices are relatively common. Now the market is like Xiuyu, the size of a Buddha statue in Chu Chen's hand, only costs a few tens of dollars, and the purchase price is even cheaper.

The colors of Xiuyan jade are dark green, green, light green, brown, dark red and other colors.The depth of the color is related to the amount of iron content. When there is a lot of iron, the color is generally dark, otherwise the color is light.Xiuyu also has a strong waxy luster, glass luster, and some have a greasy luster.

Because of this, Chu Chen felt that Nian Dasha must have regarded the material of this Buddha statue as Xiuyu. As for the artistic style, with Nian Dasha's eyesight, how could he tell it?

"MD, this kid is as smart as a monkey!"

Just like what Chu Chen thought, Nian Dasha really thought so. He cursed secretly, then froze for a while, slapped his thigh fiercely, and said in shock: "Ah! I thought it was made by old beeswax." Yes, that profiteer has tricked me again!"

As he said that, he showed an angry look again. If he didn't know, he thought he was really cheated again.

Chu Chen didn't like him, so he asked again: "Boss Nian, what's the price?"

"Hey! Since it belongs to Xiuyu, Boss Chu, you can give it to me. I think you won't let me suffer!" Nian Dasha sighed and waved his hand vigorously.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "What do you want me to say? I also think that the sculpture of this Buddha statue is good, so I want to invite you back. How about I give you fifty?"

"Boss Chu, you are the big boss, fifty is too little, three hundred!"

To be honest, even if it is 50 yuan, Nian Dasha will actually agree, because he will write down the goods purchased for more than 50 yuan in a small notebook.However, seeing that Chu Chen didn't care about giving out 4 yuan before, he felt that Chu Chen was also a rich and powerful man, so of course he should make more money for this kind of person.

Chu Chen frowned, and said, "It's not like I stole my money. You can actually ask for three hundred for Xiuyu's things. You really think I'm a stick! Eighty at most, forget it!"

Seeing Chu Chen's resolute face, Nian Da foolishly smacked his lips, thinking that Xiuyu has a lot of things at [-], so he agreed with a smile.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Chu Chen paid the money directly, and then put the things back in his bag.

Nian Dasha saw that Chu Chenhe seemed to be in a hurry, and felt something was wrong in his heart, but at this moment, Chu Chen standing in front of him looked behind him and gave a light sigh, which immediately interrupted him thinking, quickly looked behind him.

There is an ordinary wooden statue next to Nian Dasha, because it is placed behind the door and can only be seen from an angle, so when everyone walked in just now, they didn't pay attention.

There was nothing special about this statue. The reason why Chu Chen found it strange was that none of the images of this wooden statue coincided with the images of many statues in his memory.

You know, Chu Chen can never forget with his photographic memory. He has read all kinds of materials. As long as the images of ancient statues are mentioned in the books, he can remember them clearly.Just like that, how could he not be surprised that there was still a statue he didn't recognize?
Chu Chen stepped forward and found that the statue was dressed in the appearance of an ancient craftsman. In other words, this statue was probably carved in memory of a certain craftsman, which also explained why he did not print this statue. like reason.

The material of the statue is also very common wood. Because of its age, small cracks can be seen everywhere on the surface of the statue.

Originally, if this statue was just like this, Chu Chen would not pay attention to it anymore, but the two other characteristics of the statue still made him feel that this statue was quite extraordinary.

First of all, after the statue was made, it was made with lacquer and gilt technology. Although after years of baptism, most of the gilt on the statue has fallen off, but at that time, in a statue with a height of nearly [-] centimeters Gilding cost a lot, which also shows how much people attached importance to this statue at that time.

Secondly, the carving process of this statue is also quite extraordinary, with lifelike face, smooth clothing lines, skilled and sophisticated sculpture techniques, no traces of knives and axes, delicate and vivid, which belongs to the style of Han Dynasty statues in the early Ming Dynasty.It can be said that it is not inferior to the sculptor who carved the Buddha statue just now.

Therefore, although the material of this statue is ordinary, it is quite extraordinary in terms of these two details, which made Chu Chen immediately interested.

Nian Dasha was very happy when he saw that Chu Chen had become interested in this wooden statue.This wooden statue was also an item he received when he first came out of prison and arrived in Jinling.

At that time, he didn't know what kind of statue it was, but he knew it was very old-fashioned and thought it should be a good thing, so he received it from the owner's house for 200 yuan.

Originally, Nian Dasha wanted to earn his first pot of gold on this wooden statue, but the reality is very cruel. Many people who have seen the statue do not buy it, because everyone does not know what the wooden statue represents. Who it is, and secondly, because the material used for the statue is too ordinary.

Although people who have seen the statue in the year of the statue feel that it should not be too late, but because of these two points, the price given by everyone is not high, and it hovers around [-] or so.

Although Nian Dasha spent 200 yuan to buy this statue, he would sell it at that time as long as he did not lose money, but the key point is that he spent a sum of money to transport it back. The 200 yuan must have been a loss, so he didn't sell it as soon as he gritted his teeth, and the result has been put until now.

Now, since Chu Chen fell in love with this thing, Nian Dasha felt that no matter what, the other party would not be able to pay only two hundred, and maybe he could not only get his money back, but also make a small profit. How could he not feel happy about this? ?

So, when Chu Chen looked away, Nian Dasha hurried forward and asked, "Boss Chu, are you interested in this statue?"

Chu Chen nodded, and said bluntly: "Yes, I don't know how much you want, Boss Nian, are you willing to give up? However, I explained in advance that the material of this statue is not good. If the price is too expensive, then forget it."

"If the material is good, it's your turn!"

Nian Dasha muttered to himself, then thought for a while, stretched out two fingers and said, "This number!"

"Twenty?" Chu Chen teased him.

"How can it be twenty!" Nian Dasha smiled wryly, "Two thousand if you want!"

Chu Chen looked at the other party with a smile that was not a smile, and said: "I hate others to use me as a stick. Since Boss Nian is asking such a price, forget it!"

After speaking, he shrugged his shoulders and was about to leave to feature something else.

This statue was already a foolish young man, he quickly stopped Chu Chen, nodded and bowed and said, "Boss Chu, I just haven't seen money, so don't be as knowledgeable as me, how about it! Qian, what do you think?"

"One thousand is too expensive!" Chu Chen shook his head.

Nian Dasha said with a bitter face: "Boss Chu, to tell you the truth, I bought this statue and it cost hundreds of dollars including the shipping fee. Please let me earn some money! I'll give you another [-]% off ,How about it?"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "To be honest, I like to collect some rare things. I just think that I haven't seen the statue of Shezun before, so I plan to buy it and study it. As for this statue, how about it? Presumably you should also know that if it’s good, there won’t be a thick layer of dust on it.”

Nian Da foolishly smiled and said, "Then how much do you think it should be?"

"Six hundred, I think it's almost there!" Chu Chen gestured.

Nian Dasha said with a slightly exaggerated expression: "My Boss Chu, I will lose money for six hundred! Eight hundred, eight hundred, this ancient statue is yours!"

Chu Chen thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll take a step back, Liuliu Dashun, I will pay six hundred and six at most!"

Nian Dasha thought for a while, and felt that although the price was not as expected, it was barely acceptable, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay then, I'll leave it to you!"
