Chapter 004 Old Birthday Star

Hongji Road is actually a street outside the antique city. This street is not the main street, but a village street. However, because the main gate of the antique city is on this street, this street is also very famous in the middle city.

Because it is Saturday, this street is already full of people, and both sides of the road are full of stalls, ancient books, carved stone calligraphy and paintings, flowers, insects and beasts, plus food sellers, it is like a vegetable market.

There are too many stalls, and most of them are similar. In addition, the picture in the dream is also a little vague or even intermittent. Chen Ran is not sure which booth it is. He knows that he can only find it based on his feelings, but obviously there is not much time left for him. He must buy things before that person. OK.

The place Chen Ran came first was at the door of a hot pot restaurant, about 100 meters away from the gate of the antique city. He stood at the door of the hot pot restaurant and recalled the scene in his dream. At that time, the familiar sign he saw was the sign of the hot pot restaurant.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Ran's nervous and excited mood slowly calmed down. Then he felt that he was walking towards the south of Hongji Road. As he recalled the scene in his dream, he looked at the surrounding environment.

"The superior Tieguanyin..." came with a shout, and Chen Ran's heart suddenly moved. He remembered that there was such a tea stall in his dream, and he also kept shouting. The man in the dream also went up and pinched a handful to look.

Chen Ran looked back, but did not find the man in his dream. Instead, he found that although there were three tea stalls, only one sold Tieguanyin.

The owner of the tea stall is a young man with a black hat, who is also a familiar figure in Chen Ran's dream.

"Little brother, do you want to take some back?" The young man looked at Chen Ran stopping in front of the stall and greeted him enthusiastically. Although Chen Ran's hair was messy and his clothes were ordinary, even a poor beggar could not be underestimated in the antique market.

Chen Ran was pressed for time, shook his head and walked forward.

Next, Chen Ran found three or four familiar stalls, but what disappointed him was that he never found the familiar person in his dream.

Just as Chen Ran was about to look back again, suddenly, his eyes seemed to be fixed, staring at a 13- or 14-year-old boy who was walking towards him with a white plastic bag in his hand.

After a few seconds in a daze, Chen Ran came to his senses and walked towards the boy.

The boy turned to the street before Chen Ran, and Chen Ran's eyes also looked in the direction he turned around. Suddenly, a familiar scene came into view...

This is a booth selling ceramics. Chen Ran didn't find it before because the stall was not on the street, but a little inside.

The booth is not big, and it is full of small pieces. The owner of the stall is a middle-aged man in an overcoat, and the boy is his son who brought him lunch.

While looking at this booth, Chen Ran also saw the familiar figure in his dream. This is a 50 or 60-year-old man wearing a casual Zhongshan suit. At this moment, he is squatting in front of this booth and looking intently.

Without any hesitation, Chen Ran immediately walked to the stall and looked at the familiar corner. There was a ceramic jar alone, which was said to be a ceramic jar, but in fact it was not as good as a piggy bank.

While Chen Ran saw the ceramic jar, the old man in Zhongshan suit also noticed the ceramic jar. He didn't think much about it. He just felt that he was too far away to see clearly, so he stretched out his hand to get it.

Unexpectedly, before he got it, he suddenly stretched out a hand from the side and grabbed the ceramic jar.

It was not until he grabbed the ceramic jar in his hand that Chen Ran's heart was completely relaxed. Unconsciously, he was shocked by a cold sweat and almost lost his arm.

"Brother, do you like this one?" Generally speaking, Chen Ran did this, but the old man in Zhongshan was not angry, but looked at Chen Ran with great interest. In fact, the main reason why he was not angry was that he saw that the ceramic jar was just a handicraft at a glance.

"I look at this thing like a piggy bank and want to buy it for fun. You are always interested in it. Why don't you take a look first?" Chen Ran pretended to be a little embarrassed and said so, but he shook the ceramic jar unnoticedly. A crisp voice came and asked him to say secretly. Sure enough!

The old man in Zhongshan shook his head: "Ha ha, you can play with it."

"Boss, can you give me a price?" Chen Ran looked at the stall owner who was eating.

The stall owner also noticed the scene just now, but Chen Ran opened his mouth like an inside story, which made him hesitate for a moment and then smiled, "The price is 580 yuan!"

As soon as the price came out, Chen Ran and the old man in Zhongshanzhuang frowned, and Chen Ran suddenly felt tight. He remembered to buy this thing, but he forgot that there was only more than 50 yuan left in his pocket.

Although the old man in the dream only paid ten yuan, the price of this thing is not good.

"Not very reliable!" Chen Ran frowned and put down the ceramic jar.

The stall owner glanced at the old man and said slowly, "The lowest price is 500 yuan."

The old man in Zhongshan frowned again, and then understood the stall owner's calculation. He hummed, stood up and turned around and left.

Looking at this scene, Chen Ran felt a little guilty, but he needed this money more than the old man, and this money was also of great significance to him. Therefore, he could only silently apologize to the old man, hoping to have the opportunity to compensate the other party in the future.

As soon as the old man left, Chen Ran became more determined. He put down the ceramic jar and turned around and left. As a result, before taking two steps, he was stopped by the stall owner: "Oh, little brother, don't go. The price is good. If you ask for a suitable price, I will give it to you, okay?"

After a bargain, Chen Ran still paid 25 yuan to take down the ceramic jar, more than twice as much as the old man, but there is nothing he can do. The antique industry is like this, and the price is generally not specifically positioned.

......

Without having lunch, Chen Ran rushed back to his residence as soon as possible. After returning to his residence, Chen Ran threw the ceramic jar into ** and never looked at it again. He knew that what he needed most now was not to open the ceramic jar, but to calm down!

When Chen Ran picked up the carving knife, he forgot the ceramic jar, Liang Bo, time, and everything... His expression was so focused, with a trace of self-abuse concentration. He didn't want to let himself relax. In fact, he also knew that I'm afraid that the ceramic jar is not what I thought...

"Bumbang..."

I don't know how long it has passed. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Chen Ran was suddenly awakened.

After a daze for a minute, Chen Ran straightened his mind and opened the door. It was the landlord standing outside the door.

"Aunt Luo, I forgot that today is the time to pay the rent. It's dark now. Do you think I can withdraw money for you tomorrow?" After Chen Ran was stunned, he quickly said to the landlord.

The ghost believes you.

The landlord curled his lips, looked into Chen Ran's room, and said without saying, "Forget the rent. You can't live here in the future. Didn't you read the notice posted downstairs? If you want to demolish and rebuild it, all of them will be moved within two days. If you don't move away, you will bear the consequences!"

Chen Ran looked at the landlord with a little surprise, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

After the landlord left, Chen Ran closed the door and couldn't help but feel heavy. This can be said to be a snowfall. It's not easy to find such a cheap old house.

Looking at the beautiful ceramic jar in his hand, Chen Ran straightened his mood and tried to calm himself down. He was silent for two or three minutes. He turned over the ceramic jar with his hands and turned it upside down.

This ceramic jar is actually a ceramic piggy bank with a mouth on the bottom, but it seems to be sealed by glue.

He shook his hand and only heard a hula sound. The reason why he bought this ceramic jar was not that the ceramic jar was valuable, but that something stored in the ceramic jar was valuable.

He took a knife from the work table, and Chen Ran scraped off the glue that was sealed. With a crackling sound, the plug was bounced away by Chen Ran, and a small round hole appeared in front of him.

Although Chen Ran was calm on the surface, he could feel his heart beating "bang" as if he were about to jump out of his throat. He was a little anxious to cover his mouth with his hand and turn the ceramic jar upside down.

With a hula, a beautiful bright red flashed by, and a cool thing fell into Chen Ran's hand.

Chen Ran's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he had already learned the result from his dream, when he looked at this thing, his heart still seemed to have overturned the five-flavor bottle, and the joys and sorrows surged into his heart.

Carefully put this thing in **. Chen Ran went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold tap water before his mood was relieved.

Chen Ran is not unfamiliar with this thing. It is also a jade pendant, but it is obviously very high-grade. Although he has seen a lot of pictures on the Internet, he has not seen it with his own eyes.

The jade is carved from natural Hetian seed jade. The jade seed is moist, bright, moist and oily, with gorgeous red skin, exquisite and gorgeous, with gold skin on the back, which makes people love it.

Jade is generally divided into soft jade and hard jade, and hard jade is jade. Soft jade has different colors, including white jade, topaz, green jade, jasper and ink jade. Among them, Hetian jade is the most famous. The raw stone material often used by Chen Ran is Nanyang jade.

Nanyang jade is produced in Dushan, Nanyang City, Central Plains Province, and is known as the four famous jade in China. However, compared with the price of Hetian jade and jade, the price of Nanyang jade is still at a low level.

At present, a good jade bracelet or Hetian jade bracelet is priced at hundreds of thousands, even millions or tens of millions, but the price of a similar jade bracelet is only tens of thousands of yuan, dozens or even hundreds of times different.

Among the soft jade, Hetian jade is the most famous, correspondingly and the most expensive.

And this old birthday star pendant is carved by He Tianyu!
