Chapter 68 Buying a Jade Bracelet
Fu Xicheng, Master Jiang's apprentice, is still well-known in the antique circles of the imperial capital. The boss also saw that everyone is an expert, so he spoke,
"How many of you have brought something here?"
Shen You took out the jade pendant, the token that Prince Da Qi traded to her.
"What a great thing!" The boss's eyes lit up, "It's in perfect condition. If you offer it, I'll charge you 160."
Shen You shook her head politely. She lost money to her grandma's family for this price.
"I just brought this thing here to look at today, I haven't decided to sell it yet."
Hearing this, the boss hinted that the price could be negotiated. This jade pendant looked like a royal item, and even if it cost 2 million, you could make a lot of money.
When you encounter something good, you must accept it. Seeing that Shen You really didn't let go, he left his contact information and said that he could contact her later if he came up with it.
In fact, Shen You came to the antique street today. In addition to shopping, the other purpose was to bring some valuable small items to wander around.
Her name gradually became known in this industry, and people in the industry knew that her shop had good products, so it would make sense for her to sell more in the future.
Next door to the antique street is the jade and jewelry market. Shen You met her parents who were drinking tea in the teahouse, and Shen You took them there.
This is a shop owned by Gu Shaoyu's family. Hearing that Shen You and the others were here, Gu Shaoyu made a special call.
Shen You looked at two jade bracelets and said she wanted to choose one as a gift for her mother.
It was Shen's mother's birthday in two days, so she specially arranged a trip. The old couple had never been to the imperial capital in their lives, and they always wanted to have a chance to visit. If nothing happened at home, they would have come long ago.
In the past, my cousin-in-law liked to give some rags that she didn't like to her and her mother, with a giving look on her face.
She didn't want any jewelry worth more than 50 yuan or an old coat that was peeling off, so she had to give it away.
It's a beautiful name. I have too many things to wear, so I want them to thank me for it.
In the end, she had to pack it up and throw it out.
Those people thought their homes only deserved old things, so she bought them for her family.
The other one was chosen by her for herself. The planting water was very good and the words could be seen through. There was just a section of purple in the light green.
Shen You didn't want to buy it at first, but because of the small ring, most people couldn't wear it, so the price was relatively cheap, only more than 10,000.
Xu Jiayan originally said that he would pay for Shen's mother's birthday, but Shen You didn't agree. The total price was 50,000, which she paid herself.
Although she knew Gu Shaoyu, she didn't take advantage here. The price was reasonable, and she didn't choose high-end products worth hundreds of thousands.
It’s just that you can buy it from any store. It’s better to go to a store you know, so you don’t have to start with an inflated price and work your way down to save trouble.
The store employees were also stunned by Shen You's insistence on buying it by herself.
In the past, when seeing someone paying for something in a store, everyone would be extremely happy, and few would refuse.
"Daughter, this is too expensive at more than 30,000 yuan, in case it breaks." Shen's mother said worriedly.
"A broken jade article will ward off disaster."
Shen You gave a reason that was acceptable to the elders, so that her mother could wear it without worry.
She didn't do anything stupid like lying to her parents about two hundred yuan. She had to let her parents know that it was expensive so that she wouldn't be taken away by plastic relatives.
I also made an agreement with Shen’s mother. When anyone asked, they would always say they didn’t know how much it would cost.
That night, while I was eating authentic copper-shabu hot pot, a message from Huo Huanbu came to me on my phone.
It is said that it is a shocking discovery that shocked the traditional craft circle, Huohuan cloth made from a lost weaving technique.
This news has been forwarded by many self-media. Although there is only one picture, it has become popular on various platforms.
In addition, it was mentioned that someone from abroad came to buy it, but the owner refused and directly donated part of it, which caused a lot of comments.
After finishing the meal, I heard the guests at another table talking.
"I heard that this is the only piece of fire cloth in the world, and the donated piece is worth a fortune."
"The donor has donated porcelain worth several small goals before. You see, he made his fortune by inheriting the inheritance from his relatives. He is still very young." "When did my long-lost rich relative find me! ”
"This thing is so beautiful. In ancient times, only princes and nobles would have worn it. I still haven't caught up with their living standards."
When Shen You passed by, she silently added: They were all collected by the emperor alone. They are used as symbols of imperial power, and even the princes and nobles cannot wear them.
The standard of living is still far ahead of the modern times.
On the third day after arriving in the imperial capital, Shen You sent his parents to the gathering place of the tour group in the morning and transferred another 20,000 yuan to them.
This is a customized high-end pure entertainment group with good food, accommodation and transportation.
Father Shen and Mother Shen happily joined the group, got on the comfortable minibus, and headed to the first scenic spot.
Along with young people, they are also restrained and have more words to say with their peers.
The three of Shen You, together with Master Jiang's other female disciple Hua Yun, went to the ancient palace and various collections to check in.
Hua Yun was very interested in the cloth bag Shen You was carrying. She concluded that it was a traditional method but slightly different.
Many people think that ancient bags were just a piece of cloth carried on the shoulder. In fact, there are all kinds of bags, and there are even ones that can adjust the length of the straps. Our ancestors have long used today's satchels.
There are studios similar to the one used by Shen You. Hua Yun took a closer look and realized that the details were still different.
"Can I take some photos? I want to take them back and try to reproduce them."
During the break, Hua Yun blinked and looked at Shen You expectantly.
"No problem." Shen You handed the bag to her.
"It's all handmade. Apart from our studio, there is such good workmanship." Hua Yun asked Fu Xicheng to look at it together as if he had discovered a treasure.
"Shen You, where did you buy it?" she asked curiously.
"Still the friend who traded Huo Huanbu with me." Shen You smiled and was able to answer this question without any hesitation.
It seems that the craftsmanship of the best fabric shop in the capital of Daqi cannot be compared with the styles in the palace among the modern replicas, but it can still be used.
Otherwise, Hua Yun would not pay attention to it.
Shen You looked at the high vermilion walls and glazed tiles in the palace. On the table was the afternoon tea they ordered. The atmosphere was good, but the taste was average.
The Collectors Association group and people she met in the circle were all sending messages.
All of a sudden, there were so many messages on my phone.
It's a good thing she's not in Jiangcheng, otherwise the store door would probably be broken through this time.
Boss Huo: "Boss Shen, you keep it secret too well. You don't even let me take a second look at such a good thing."
This is the person who introduced her to a big client, so she can't just deal with it casually.
Shen You replied quickly,
"I wasn't sure if it was true before, but when the results came out, they were hurriedly sent to the Imperial Capital. After a while, the remaining part will be sent back, and you can go to my place for tea."
Boss Huo was happy now. He knew that Shen You would never come out with this thing again, but he had learned a lot after seeing it.
Zheng Mingbo and Mr. Zhou, who bought golden nanmu, were also asking if they were willing to sell it.
These two wealthy men both said they wanted enough meters to make a piece of clothing, and the price was very high.
Shen You replied helplessly, "I really can't sell it this time, there's not enough left."
She still has to collect it herself.
I would like to ask for a recommendation vote~ (look at my sincere eyes)
