God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 861

The cigarette pot that Tang Ziyan took out was also made of brass, and there was a cigarette holder made of Hetian jade on the cigarette rod. For the sake of the cigarette holder made of Hetian jade, if there is no cigarette holder made of Hetian jade, this cigarette bag and pot will only cost a thousand dollars.

But the shape of this pipe and pot is a bit strange. At first glance, it looks like the pestle commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. The head of the shredded tobacco is huge and round. , but the opening in the hollowed out place is very small, a little bit thicker than a commonly used pencil, but the space inside is slightly larger, which can hold a lot of shredded tobacco.

The head of the rod is round, and the shaft is also round, but the diameter near the head is larger, and the diameter becomes smaller as it goes further back. After all, is it a medicine pestle? When it reaches the end of the rod, the diameter of the tobacco rod is less than five millimeters, and the length is [-] centimeters long, which is relatively long among the cigarette pots. Even if you can't smoke this pipe and pot, among other things, the brass tobacco rod alone can exhaust you to death, after all, you have to hold it with your hands all the time.

Of course, if it’s just this kind of shape, it’s not too unusual, it’s because the craftsmen design the tobacco rods into various shapes. After all, there has never been a shortage of curious people since ancient times, let alone those who are curious. Think craftsmen.

But there is a very shallow layer of bas-relief on this copper tobacco rod. The pattern is very exquisite and the lines are very smooth. At first glance, it is not an ordinary craftsmanship. After all, it is never an easy task to paint on the surface of metal utensils.

Xu Jingxing was an expert in carving, so he could tell at a glance that the bas-relief craftsmanship on this copper cigarette rod was excellent, even if it wasn't a master class, it wasn't much worse.

Seeing this, he reached out and took out the cigarette rod.

The moment he got the pipe, his first reaction was that it was heavy.

This tobacco rod is very heavy to start with, weighing five or six catties. If it weren't for his strong hands and steady palms, he might really be given a flash by this weight.

Then he became a little suspicious-is this tobacco rod really made of brass?And not made of gold?

The color difference between gold and brass is indeed not that big, especially when the purity of brass and gold is not so high, it is even more difficult to distinguish. In some cases, brass looks more like gold, which is why the ancients would One of the main reasons for using copper as gold.

Of course, gold must be heavier than brass, and the difference in chemical properties is also very large.

It's just how to put it, when people can only observe with the naked eye, most people really can't tell the difference, especially those who haven't had much contact with these two metals are more likely to confuse the two metals, Xu Jingxing is one of them.

Even though he has a little money, he has also come into contact with a few old gold jewelry, but it was determined that it was gold under the preconceived situation, and he didn't think about other directions at all. Now give him such a cigarette to let him It was really difficult for him to distinguish between brass and gold.

Of course, there is only a little bit of difficulty. After all, apart from the element of color, gold and brass are still very easy to distinguish. The specific gravity alone can distinguish the two very accurately. Brass is much taller, and the feel in the hand is completely different.

So he just hesitated for a moment and came to the conclusion that this is a golden tobacco rod. Although it is definitely not pure gold, for the ancients, this kind of purity is not low. If it is really pure gold, the color will be Reddish gold, that is, with a little red light, the red gold said by the ancients is gold with high purity, and the so-called platinum and lapis lazuli are just gold of different purity, because the gold of different purity shows The color is also different.

If he remembers correctly, when the color of gold is yellow, the purity is around 80.00%.

In other words, the tobacco rod in his hand is made of 80.00% pure gold. Although the purity of such gold is not as good as the current pure gold jewelry, it has a historical bonus, so the price in the market may not Lower than new solid gold, maybe even a little higher.

Thinking about it this way, this tobacco rod is a bit interesting. After all, not everyone is willing to use gold to make pipes and pots for smoking shredded tobacco. Moreover, gold is so heavy that it is not tiring to hold it in your hand?

Of course, it is not ruled out that this is not a utility, but for playing.

Thinking of this, he took a look into the pouch in front of the tobacco rod, but he did not see any traces of smoke.

Look at the cigarette holder again, it is Hetian jade, and the quality is not bad. allusion.As for the carving, it is also not bad, the lines are soft and clear, and the expression is lively. Even if you look at it alone, it is also a very delicate handle, and with the quality of this jade, it can be sold for [-] to [-] in the market. .

After such a calculation, this cigarette rod is worth nearly one million.

He doesn't know the specific market price of gold, but the price of pure gold for one kilogram of gold is around 30 recently, which looks like two to three kilograms of tobacco rods. Even if there are only two kilograms left after smelting, it can be sold at least When it comes to 60 yuan, including the white jade cigarette holder, it is 70 yuan less.

But this is an antique, a work of art, plus a bas-relief of a smoke rod, it is not a fantasy to sell for 100 million, and I don't know where Tang Long got it.

But the problem is that what he wants is a prop with healing function, what does Tang Long mean by looking for such a cigarette stick?
Tang Long on the side noticed his doubts, pointed to the bas-relief on the tobacco rod and said, "Look at this."

What is the connotation of this relief?
As he thought about it, he focused his attention on the bas-reliefs, and after careful observation for more than ten seconds, he realized that the contents expressed in these bas-reliefs were really related to medicine, and they were all about doctors and medicine. Historical allusions, such as "Shen Nong Tasting Herbs", "Hanging Pot to Help the World", "Tiger Guarding Xinglin" and so on, basically include the most famous medical masters in the history of Chinese medicine.

This theme, coupled with the shape of the medicine pestle of the tobacco rod, can barely be related to the healing property.

But, can this stuff really heal?

To be honest, he thinks this is a good handicraft with the tobacco rod. I don't believe it.
