Chapter 090 Long Life Lock

The energy aperture was detected, and Chen Ran was stunned!

There are only two big things in the big box of the stall owner, and the rest are small things, and Chen Ran doesn't care about these two big things at all. What he releases energy aperture detection is also those small things other than the long-life lock.

However, those things are too small after all. When Chen Ran detected, he had no target, but just released an energy aperture at will. When the energy aperture flew by, he inadvertently detected one of the two large items first.

This large piece is exactly the porcelain cup used by the stall owner to drink tea.

The detected result is even more unexpected. The energy aperture is directly adsorbed on the porcelain cup, which undoubtedly shows that this porcelain cup is also an old thing, at least a hundred years ago.

Only after detecting such a result, Chen Ran was a little dumbfounded. Then he re-observed the porcelain cup that he ignored. From the surface, the porcelain cup is no different from the new porcelain teacup sold in the supermarket, and he can't see the shabby appearance at all, as if he had just bought a new one.

On the outer wall of the cup, the pattern is a kind of flower. Chen Ran can't explain exactly what the flower is. In addition to the flower pattern, there seems to be poetry.

Chen Ran frowned and thought about what was going on with this porcelain cup. Since he stepped into the antique industry, he hasn't seen this kind of porcelain. He doesn't seem to have seen it in the books he read. This porcelain cup doesn't look like an old thing at all. Could it be a folk kiln...

Without any hesitation, Chen Ran then released an energy aperture, releasing a total of six energy apertures to draw out the aperture of the porcelain cup. The aperture is white, with a total of three.

"In the early Qing Dynasty, at least in the Kangxi period..." Chen Ran was extremely happy. No matter what kind of porcelain this porcelain cup is, it is a good thing. In any case, he had to find a way to receive it. Unexpectedly, an inadvertent move would detect such a good thing.

"Little brother, look at this long-lived lock..."

At this time, the stall owner's voice came, interrupting Chen Ran's meditation. As he spoke, he handed him a long-lived lock carved in ivory.

At this time, Chen Ran's heart was like being scratched by a cat. It was extremely itchy. People were curious, and Chen Ran was no exception. At this time, he was not only curious about the porcelain cup he just found, but also the ivory carved long-life lock handed over by the stall owner.

After taking a few deep breaths, Chen Ran calmed down and quickly took over the long-life lock of the ivory carving. After starting to get the long-life lock, a warm heat came. The ivory used to carve in front of the long-live lock in front of him is old ivory, which looks solid and dense, soft and smooth in color. The whole object is slightly white. Some yellowish, like something from some years.

Although ivory is described as white gold, its color is mostly yellow. Ivory is divided into African ivory and Asian ivory. African male and female elephants have teeth. The teeth are mostly pale yellow, with fine texture, good luster and high hardness. The color of Asian ivory is relatively white, and it will turn yellow over time, so look The old ivory carving is generally distinguished by its color.

In recent years, for the sake of protecting elephant populations, many countries, including China, have issued bans on ivory trade, which has had a great impact on the ivory carving market and made the price of ivory carving crafts rise steadily. Correspondingly, It is enthusiastically sought after by collectors.

Out of habit, every time Chen Ran observes the sculpture, the first thing he goes to see is the carving. The carving of this long-life lock is extremely profound, the lines are simple and smooth, and the details are clear and natural. As far as the carving man is concerned, this ivory carving long-life lock is a rare good thing.

The carving on the front of the long-lived lock is hollowed out. The shape is elegant and exquisitely carved, with the words "100 years of long life" in the middle.

Generally speaking, these four words are carved on the longevity lock, of course, not all of which are, as well as "double longevity", "long life and wealth", "thousand longevity" and so on. Most of the decorative patterns are auspicious eight treasures, lotus bats, auspicious clouds and beasts, as well as some related folk stories and myths and legends with auspicious meanings. Wait, it's very colorful.

The decoration in front of us is an auspicious beast.

"Little brother, look at the back..." The stall owner saw that Chen Ran had been staring at the front of the long-lived lock, and couldn't help stretching out his finger and reminding Chen Ran.

Chen Ran turned the long-live lock to the back, and Guo Hai, who also looked at it together, couldn't help blurting out: "Well!"

Yes, in addition to the decoration, there is a big word "ran" on the back of the ivory long-life lock. Looking at this scene, Chen Ran was also slightly stunned, but then he thought that there was also a word "ran" in the name of the original owner of the long-lived lock.

Chen Ran didn't know who the original owner of the long-life lock was and couldn't guess it, but when he saw the sculptor of this ivory long-life lock, he was a little moved. Now when he saw the word "Ran", he decided to buy this long-life lock.

Although it is impossible to lock his life on his body, it is also good to collect it at home. Speaking of which, Chen Ran is also a member of the antiques, but now he still doesn't even have a collection. Speaking of it, it's really blushing.

Let you make my first collection.

Looking at the ivory life lock in front of him, Chen Ran said silently.

After making a decision, Chen Ran continued to observe the long-life lock on the surface, but thought about how to take over the porcelain cup. He was not worried about this ivory long-life lock, but even if the stall owner wanted to kill him once, it was not much higher.

"Little brother, how about it? If something like a pendant has your name, it's not strange, but it's strange to lock a long life. You know, there may not be a name in a thousand pieces, not to mention ivory. Now ivory is becoming more scarce, and there is no one at all. Then use ivory to carve the long-life lock. All the ivory carved long-life locks are standard old things. Besides, there is also a word on this long-life lock, which is fate.

The stall owner looked at Chen Ran happily and said, looking completely for Chen Ran's good, but what he said was the truth. It was really a rare thing in a hundred years to encounter such a coincidental long-life lock.

"How much is this thing?" Before Chen Ran said anything, Guo Hai turned his head and asked.

"Not much!"

The stall owner smiled and seemed to have thought about the price for a long time. Hearing Guo Hai's question, he directly quoted: "A price, 16,000 yuan!"

When he was talking, he had been looking at Chen Ran. Guo Hai seemed to be very moved, but after all, this thing was not what Guo Hai wanted to buy, and it must have been Chen Ran who bought it in the end. Therefore, he also valued Chen Ran's attitude.

Although Chen Ran has made a decision in his heart, he does not show the intention to buy it on the surface. The most taboo thing about antiques is to be happy. Don't show interest in what you like, otherwise, just wait to be slaughtered.

"Damn it, 16,000, why don't you rob the bank!" As soon as he heard the price quoted by the stall owner, Guo Hai almost jumped up. He thought that this thing was only two or three hundred yuan each. Looking at Huang's price, it was not new at all. Unexpectedly, the stall owner actually asked for tens of thousands of yuan.

"Little brother, you don't understand. This is ivory. If you don't believe it, you can ask others. I asked you for this price, but I definitely don't ask for much!" The stall owner said honestly.

Seeing what Guo Hai was going to say, Chen Ran quickly said, "Boss, please make a suitable price. 16,000 is too high. Even if I want it, I can't afford it. Besides, although ivory is expensive, it is not so ridiculous. I can't spend so much money just because there is a word on it. If I want such a thing, I can buy a jade pendant or pendant or something, and wear it on my body. Why did I buy your long-life lock? Pass it on to my son. It is definitely impossible for my son's name to have a word. Even if I buy this thing, I will throw it into the house and spend too much money. It's not cost-effective. You'd better tell me the real price. OK, I'll buy it. No, I'll just leave without delaying your time.

No matter how expensive this ivory long-life lock is, it can't cost much. In addition, the stall owner is also a human spirit, and he must know the value of this long-life lock. It is definitely impossible for Chen Ran to buy it at a low price. He thought about it and simply bargained with the other party generously. Besides, although the long-life lock is to be bought, But the key is the porcelain cup.

"Aran, let's not take it. What do you think is the use of this broken thing? It's better to buy a gold chain belt." The person who knows Chen Ran best is undoubtedly Guo Hai. As soon as Guo Hai heard Chen Ran's words, he understood Chen Ran's thoughts, immediately helped him set him up, and even said the gold chain he had always wanted to buy.

Whenever he sees a bright gold chain around his neck, Guo Hai will say to Chen Ran with envy that he will buy a thicker gold chain in the future. Of course, this is just his thinking about it. If he really wears a gold chain, it will be strange that Lao Guo does not break his leg.

When the stall owner heard Chen Ran's words, he also understood that it was true. The long-life lock can only be used for collection. Looking at the young people in front of them, they are definitely not collecting. It is really difficult for them to spend more than 10,000 yuan to buy such a thing.

"Well, why don't you pay the same price?" The stall owner smiled carelessly.

"A fixed price, 7,000 yuan, okay, I'll buy it. No, I'll just leave!" Chen Ran didn't talk nonsense with him and directly quoted him. This price is higher than the price of the ivory long-life lock. Although Chen Ran does not know the market of the long-live lock, he knows the market of ivory carving.

In his estimation, this ivory long-life lock is only worth about 4,000 yuan, but the stall owner happens to know that there is also a word in his name. This price will be increased by another 1,000 yuan. In the end, the price of the ivory long-life lock is 5,000 yuan, and he gave an extra 2,000 yuan to the stall owner for the convenience of negotiation. The problem that comes down.

As soon as he heard Chen Ran's quotation, the stall owner shook his head decisively: "No! Absolutely not. I have to pay a lot of money for this price. Didn't you see that I put this long-life lock in the box? Originally, I was not going to sell it, that is, I happened to meet a word Ran in the name of the little brother. I felt that it was really fate, so I took it out to sell it to you. This is you. Man, I don't want to sell it yet..."

Chen Ran listened and pulled Guo Hai away without saying a word.

"Alas...don't go!" As soon as he saw Chen Ran pulling Guo Hai and leaving so resolutely, the stall owner suddenly became anxious and quickly stood up and stopped Chen Ran: "Seven thousand is 7,000. One point is indispensable!"

Stops, Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief and locked his life in his hand. Next, he had to think about how to collect the porcelain cup unconsciously.
