Chapter 255 Dog Head Gold, Gold Gate

Mu Weiwei put the brocade box on the table. Everyone looked over curiously, but saw that the brocade box contained a piece of about five or six centimeters long, almost as thin as the big mother's fingers, with a yellow color and a rough surface like coral, giving people a kind of dumplings wrapped in dumpling skin made of gold. Generally, this dumpling seems to have been biting by a dog, and the overall shape is still like a dog.

Liu Cui'e stretched out her hand and nodded gently, and asked hesitantly, "Isn't this a gold bar?"

"Haha." Hearing Liu Cui'e's words, Lv Lingfeng suddenly laughed: "This is not a gold bar. The gold bar is not worth it."

"It's not a gold bar." Liu Cui'e said something wrong and smiled awkwardly, but she was still a little puzzled. This is obviously a gold bullion. Why is it not a gold bullion?

When he heard that it was not a gold bar, everyone present looked at Lv Lingfeng, as if asking what the gold bar was. Of course, Chen Ran naturally had to exclude it. He still looked at the thing in the brocade box.

Others couldn't recognize it. Naturally, he could see that although he had never seen this thing before, he looked at it and recognized that this thing was a piece of dog-headed gold.

Dog head gold is a natural block of gold produced from vein or sand or ore, that is to say, it is a naturally generated gold nugget. This natural gold is called dog head gold because its shape resembles the shape of a dog's head.

Dog head gold is a good thing. All countries in the world are proud of having dog head gold. This kind of dog head gold is completely accessible but not sought. Once found, it will be retained as a treasure.

It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, in order to win the favor of the old Buddha, local officials wanted to dig a piece of dog-headed gold for her as a birthday gift. They mobilized many people to find dog-headed gold but did not find it. The birthday was getting closer and closer, and finally they had to give up. It can be seen how much this kind of thing is.

The texture of natural gold such as dog-headed gold is not pure. It generally contains a small amount of other metals, which are most common in silver, as well as copper, iron, platinum, etc. Large natural nuggets are particularly small and can only be obtained by chance.

Dog-headed gold is sparsely distributed in the world and is not easy to obtain, but due to the high value of gold, it is regarded as a treasure. Finding dog head gold is often accidental. Once dog head gold is found, it often causes social sensation.

Before that, Chen Ran had never seen a dog-headed gold. Unexpectedly, the Lv Lingfeng in front of him had found a piece, which was a good omen.

Out of curiosity, Chen Ran took the brocade box and watched the dog's head rise.

The three members of the Mu family looked at Lv Lingfeng, but Lv Lingfeng did not say anything. It can be said that Chen Ran couldn't stand it anymore, even Zhao Ying couldn't stand it anymore. They looked at Lv Lingfeng, smiled and said, "Auntie, this thing is called dog head gold."

"Dog-headed gold, I know..." When she heard that it was dog-headed gold, Liu Cui'e suddenly cried. There are still many stories of dog-headed gold circulating among the people. There is a river in Liu Cui's old village, and there is a story of dog-headed gold in this river.

"What do you know?" When Liu Cui'e was about to tell the story of the dog-headed gold circulating in her hometown, Mu honestly stared at her and kept her from being ashamed and conspicuous.

Liu Cui'e stared at Mu honestly angrily and closed her mouth, but stretched out her head and looked at Chen Ran's dog's head.

"What? Brother Chen, have you ever seen this kind of thing? Seeing Chen Ran tossing and turning observation of the dog's head gold in the brocade box, Lv Lingfeng asked with a smile.

His words also made everyone's eyes focus on Chen Ran, and for a moment, the room became silent.

"I haven't seen it." Chen Ran shook his head without question, weighed the dog's head gold in his hand, looked at Lv Lingfeng, and asked leisurely, "Is your dog's head gold about fifteen taels?"

"I didn't see that Brother Chen is still an sconnomer. Your estimate is very accurate, exactly 712 grams."

Hearing Chen Ran's words, Lv Lingfeng was surprised. He asked Chen Ran, and it was just a casual question. If he didn't understand this thing, he could hear it as soon as he opened his mouth. He heard that Chen Ran seemed to understand a little. He was very excited. He had just picked up the leak and naturally wanted to show off.

Liu Cui'e and Mu honestly don't understand. It's meaningless for him to show off. At most, he just said how much money he made in front of them and surprised them, but the value of dog-headed gold can't be measured by money at all. Although Liu Cui'e and Mu Laoshi shocked him a little sense of achievement, but he didn't It is naturally interesting to show off in front of an influent who also knows this industry.

"Brother Lu is so lucky. It's more than 700 grams. This dog-headed gold is worth a lot." Chen Ran did not disappoint Lv Lingfeng. He said such a sentence very face, which made Lv Lingfeng laugh.

"This dog-headed gold was bought when I passed by Zhongdu. It was collected at the gold market price and cost 160,000 yuan."

"160,000?"

Hearing Lv Lingfeng's price, Liu Cui'e and Mu honestly were shocked. Even Mu Weiwei was surprised and turned her eyes to the dog's head gold in Chen Ran's hand, as if they were looking at why this thing was so valuable.

"160,000?" Chen Ran nodded: "The leak that Brother Lu picked up is not small."

Lv Lingfeng laughed and said, "A friend here paid 1.6 million yuan to buy my baby, but I didn't sell it."

1.6 million?

Not to mention that Liu Cui'e and Mu were honestly dumbfounded this time, even Mu Weiwei was also scared. For her, 160,000 is already an unimaginable large amount of property. Has anyone offered 1.6 million yuan to sell this broken stone? This is simply unimaginable for her. Even such a piece of gold is not worth so much money.

Looking up, Chen Ran looked at the dog's head gold in his hand and said, "You really can't sell it. This thing is something you can't find..."

"What Brother Chen said seems that Brother Chen really knows a lot. Not everyone has such a chance to collect a piece of dog-headed gold."

Before Chen Ran's voice fell, he was interrupted by Lv Lingfeng excitedly. The meaning of getting a piece of dog-headed gold can't be measured by money. This thing means to attract wealth and treasure. First of all, dog-headed gold itself has gold. Gold has always represented wealth in China. In addition, there has always been a folk saying that cats come to be poor, dogs come to be rich, and the shape of dog-headed gold itself is quite similar to dogs. In addition, the gold with itself is still so unattainable, and in the end it will be. Whoever gets such a thing means to get rich, not to mention getting it. Even if it is just a first sight, it is a good omen, just waiting for the money to roll in.

Therefore, Lv Lingfeng is still very proud to be able to find such a thing. This is not even a matter of picking up leaks, but that he can meet a piece of dog head gold and let him get it, which is enough to show that he has good luck, good fortune and good character...

With a slight cough, Chen Ran looked up at Lv Lingfeng, turned around and suddenly said, "I don't know much about this thing, but I remember that I saw someone in a special way to imitate dog-headed gold, but this imitation of dog-headed gold is still How was it discovered? I remember that it was like putting the dog's head gold into a glass full of lime water and then sealing the opening. If there is no response, it is true. If it bubbles, it is imitated by that method. The imitation method seems to be in the late Qing Dynasty. What is the name of one? The master studied it, but it was lost later.

As soon as Chen Ran's abrupt words turned around and said this sentence, Lv Lingfeng was stunned. When Chen Ran said it later, Lv Lingfeng's face had changed greatly. He suddenly grabbed Chen Ran's put down and took out a magnifying glass to the light and observed it carefully. After a long time, he didn't see anything, so he was relieved.

Although he is not old, he has exquisite antique skills and is also famous in the domestic collection world. Although Chen Ran is famous, he is only in the circle of the Central Plains, while Lv Lingfeng is well-known in the domestic circle. This is because Chen Ran has not come out of the Central Plains after all. The capital and pearls are famous in the collection world.

Lv Lingfeng is still very confident in his eyesight. The meaning of dog-headed gold can't be measured by money. He was also proud to find this dog-headed gold, but he didn't expect that Chen Ran suddenly said such a sentence. Although he was confident that he would not get it wrong, Chen Ran's words also made him feel like a thorn in his heart. In the same way, he frowned and looked at Chen Ran: "Brother Chen, how do you say this sentence?"

"Brother Lu misunderstood. I just suddenly thought of this."

Chen Ran shook his head with a smile. Naturally, this is not the case. At first, when he observed the dog's head gold, he did not observe it, but when he couldn't help detecting it with the energy aperture, he was surprised. It is said that the dog's head gold is naturally formed at all, and the energy aperture detects the sculptor or Work, that is, craftsmanship, is naturally formed and cannot be detected, but this dog-headed gold strangely detects an energy aperture, which is obviously problematic. An aperture has a history of more than 100 years. Even if the energy aperture can detect naturally formed things, there is no doubt that in this short period of time It can't form a dog's head gold, and the result is self-evident.

It came out that this dog-headed gold was not formed naturally at all. Chen Ran thought about it and came up with a way to imitate dog-headed gold.

Chen Ran saw this imitation method of dog head gold when he was reading at Mr. Ma's house.

The book was written by Mr. Ma himself, and Mr. Ma himself translated it from an ancient letter, saying that it was about the birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi in the late Qing Dynasty. In order to win the favor of the old Buddha, local officials once wanted to dig a piece of dog-headed gold to give her as a birthday gift. They launched Many people didn't find the dog-headed gold, but they couldn't find it. However, one of the officials did not find the dog-headed gold at that time, but found a master who could imitate the dog-headed gold. The master's name was Gou-headed gold, or his title.

There are 36 kinds and 72 lines of craftsmanship handed down by the ancestors of China, as well as eight other eight gates such as golden dots, beggars, ringing horses, thieves, inverted fighting, walking mountains, leading fire and collecting water. In fact, no one knows that in addition to these, there is also a very ancient and mysterious craft that has been circulating. In the folk, that is the gold mining gate.

The currencies circulating in ancient times are generally gold and silver, so how were gold and silver mines discovered?

This is related to the Jinmen faction, which aims to find the golden vein hidden in the mountains and rivers. This method of finding gold veins can be said to be able to turn stones into gold. Once leaked, it will inevitably cause disputes in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, the Jinmen faction acts low-key and mysteriously, and many outsiders do not know it.

And the highest honor in the Golden Gate faction is dog head gold. Whoever finds the most dog head gold can get the title of dog head gold in the Golden Gate faction.

At that time, the dog-headed gold of that generation was not only good at finding dog-headed gold, but also developed a way to imitate dog-headed gold. The official found the dog-headed gold and forced the dog-headed gold to imitate a piece of dog-headed gold.

This official is just a seven-grade sesame official. Obviously, an official like him can't see the old Buddha. He first wrote a letter to a classmate who was a senior official in the court. As a result, the letter was not sent to his classmate, but leaked out, and later provoked the murder. In the disaster, the dog-headed Master Jin also escaped, and this matter is over. Even outsiders don't know this at all, and there is no record in history.

Mr. Ma accidentally found the letter, and later checked a lot of information and wrote the manuscript. Chen Ran read a book in Mr. Ma's study on the day he visited Mr. Ma and happened to see the manuscript.

Although there is indeed such a plot in the movie Dog Head Gold, the counterfeiting method is not the counterfeiting method of the Dog Head Gold, but the identification method is somewhat similar, so it was moved here by Chen Ran.

The reason why Chen Ran said this is that he is a little unhappy with Lu Lingfeng in front of the three Mu family. They don't understand antiques. What do you think about them?

With dissatisfaction, Chen Ran also poked out this matter angrily.
