    Meng Zitao walked to an antique stall and stopped. After looking at it for a moment, he picked up a bamboo carving of Arhat from the stall.  It can be seen that this image is made of natural bamboo roots, and the Arhat god is too calm, with a tiger bowing its head to listen to the sutra.  The figures are shaped like protruding eyes, the folds of clothes are tight and tight, and the slope stones are shaped like lake rocks.  The bottom is decorated with the official script "Shi Tianzhangzao".

    The stall owner is a young man in his thirties. The skin on his face is tanned, obviously from running a stall for many years. Like most stall owners, this man shouted loudly when he saw Meng Zitao coming to the door.  He recommends his own stuff as if his stuff is rare in the sky and unparalleled on earth.

    Meng Zitao already knew the authenticity of this Arhat statue. He raised his head and asked, "Boss, what do you think of this Arhat statue?"

    "This is Shi Tianzhang's work, at least this amount." The stall owner did not directly tell the price, but stretched out four fingers.

    Meng Zitao smiled inwardly. He knew very well the purpose of the other party's deliberately vague words. Some uninformed buyers would often raise the price in order to show that they were well-informed, and the result would be exactly what the stall owner wanted.

    So, he deliberately pretended not to understand: "Did you mean four hundred?"

    "Four hundred?" The stall owner looked at Meng Zitao with a sarcastic face: "Do you know who Shi Tianzhang is? I want to buy his works for four hundred yuan. I want as much as you have!"

    "That's four thousand?" Meng Zitao asked with some uncertainty.

    The stall owner seemed to be furious: "Little brother, you are here to cause trouble, Shi Tianzhang, the author of this Arhat statue is Shi Tianzhang!"

    "Boss, tell me who this Shi Tianzhang is." Meng Zitao said.

    The stall owner looked at Meng Zitao and seemed a little speechless: "Okay, today I am in high spirits, so I will teach you. Shi Tianzhang was a famous sculptor in the Qing Dynasty. He was a disciple of the famous Feng Xilu. The Feng family was famous for its bamboo-root figures. Shi Tianzhang was awarded the title  The family's method is also a craftsmanship. During the Yongzheng period, he was ordered to worship the Ruyi Pavilion, and the works he made were exquisite and unparalleled. He was appointed to the preface class of Honglu Temple. Later, he was punished for a crime. When he returned home, he was already ill and stopped carving.  It happens to be an object and then burned. To put it simply, his works are very expensive."

    "How expensive can it be?"

    ¡°For example, my statue of Arhat is worth at least 400,000 yuan!¡±

    "Four hundred thousand?!" Meng Zitao couldn't help but be a little stunned. Isn't this guy a fool? Or does he think he is a fool?

    There is no shortage of people who like to join in the fun on the antique street. Seeing that Meng Zitao's place is very lively, he can't help but gather around him. Fortunately, the camera has already occupied a position, otherwise it would be troublesome to squeeze in.

    The stall owner became excited when he saw that his stall was crowded with people. After asking for the statue, he explained: "You see, this statue uses the round carving technique with ease, and the facial expressions are very vivid. The pleats of the clothes are graceful and flowing, and the carvings are  Every detail is taken into account, and the whole thing is made according to the material conditions and is made by heaven. Isn¡¯t 400,000 yuan still expensive?¡±

    Speaking of this, the stall owner said with some reluctance: "Hey, to be honest, if I didn't need money urgently, I would really be reluctant to take it out."

    Meng Zitao pretended to be hesitant on the surface, but secretly laughed in his stomach.

    At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a boss next to him began to urge him to make a decision quickly: "Brother, can you hurry up? If you don't want to, just say so. There are still people waiting behind us."

    There was an old man with white hair next to him who said: "Playing with antiques depends on fate. It is rare to encounter good things. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

    Meng Zitao turned back to look at the middle-aged man who had just spoken: "Do you want this Arhat image?"

    The middle-aged man was obviously stunned: "You don't want it?"

    Meng Zitao said: "I didn't say no, but I see you are in a hurry, so you can take a look first."

    The middle-aged man obviously did not expect that Meng Zitao would make such a move. After saying "inexplicable", he turned around and left.

    Seeing this, the buzz around him stopped. Meng Zitao smiled at the stall owner, took out fifty yuan and handed it to the stall owner.

    The stall owner had a look of astonishment on his face, and it took him a while to realize: "What do you mean?"

    "That's what I mean." Meng Zitao raised the money in his hand.

    The stall owner also reacted and said angrily: "Let's go, let's go! You are not welcome here!"

    Meng Zitao smiled, said nothing, got up and left.

    At this time, the old man who just spoke said angrily: "Every business has its own rules. You can bargain, but there is no way to bargain like this! Young man, you have to be kind. Who will do business with you!"

    Meng Zitao looked at the old man: "Old man, you said that I am unkind,p; Meng Zitao did not answer and seemed unwilling.

    "Five hundred yuan to buy a quill, it's really not expensive."

    "I just said that there are good and bad feather tubes. As for the quality of this feather tube, it is really not that good. I will give it a hundred and fifty at most."

    "How can you buy it for one hundred and fifty? If you really want it, give me four hundred and eighty."

    Meng Zitao added more money one by one, and finally bought it for 350 yuan. Although the money was too much, this was an entertainment program, and it was nothing more than 100 yuan, not to mention that the price was too much.  worth it.

    After paying the money, Meng Zitao turned and left. After walking for a while, he said to the camera: "Brother Wang, let's go. Our goal for the morning has been completed. Let's go have a meal."

    "Okay."

    Because we had to shoot in the afternoon, we found a restaurant nearby. Just after we ordered the dishes, Qian Siling came over and said she wanted to know the progress, so she ordered two more dishes.

    After Qian Siling arrived, she learned about what happened in the morning. When she learned that Meng Zitao had spent three hundred and fifty yuan to buy a quill, her eyes lit up and she quickly asked: "Where is the thing? Can you give it to me?"  Let me see?"

    "Do you understand?" Meng Zitao asked with a smile as he took out the feather tube.

    Qian Siling rolled her eyes at him: "You are looking down on me too much. Since I took over this show, how could I not be prepared at all? For example, this plume tube was a symbol of official status in the Qing Dynasty, and a civil servant was a first-class official."  The Duke of Zhen Guo and the Duke of Fu Guo use jade plume tubes; military attach¨¦s up to the first rank of Zhen Guo General and Auxiliary General use white jade plume tubes. Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, wearing jade plume tubes and white jade feather tubes was often a symbol of first-grade civil and military officials."

    "The hollow part at the lower end of the plume tube is as big as a cigarette holder, and the plume is inserted through it. The inserted plume is what is commonly called a flower feather. The top, plume tube and flower feathers are all symbols of the status of officials in the Qing Dynasty. In  At that time, plume tubes were often given to ministers as a reward for meritorious service from the court as a token of commendation. Zeng Guofan recorded in "Jiang Zhongliegong Shendao Stele": "For meritorious service, a second-grade crown will be rewarded, and plume tubes, class fingers and other items will be given."  '"

    Meng Zitao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, there are indeed two brushes."

    "of course."

    "Then do you know where this feather tube is?"

    Qian Siling was stunned for a moment, then said: "How do I know what's good about it? If I know, I can pick it up."

    "How do you know that I must have missed it?" Meng Zitao asked with a smile.

    "Then I'll give you three hundred and five, how about you give it to me?" Qian Siling said with a smile.

    "Haha, no problem." Meng Zitao smiled.

    Qian Siling was slightly startled and confused: "Is it true or false?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said nothing.

    Qian Siling put the feather tube in front of Meng Zitao: "You are so boring, please reveal the answer to the mystery quickly."

    Meng Zitao stopped pretending: "Do you know about crow skin?"

    "What crow skin?" Qian Siling was a little confused.

    Meng Zitao explained: "Crow skin is actually a kind of seed material. Its shell is black and grayish, and can be light or thin. Generally speaking, there are more weathered black Qin metamorphic rocks, a higher degree of jade, a high degree of water washing, and the jade meat is warm and moist.  Delicate. Due to the special elements and conditions that form crow skin, the jade quality of crow skin is better than that of non-crow skin.¡±

    ¡°Generally speaking, although crow skin is ugly in appearance, it has noble qualities such as black skin, good jade, and bright color. Top-grade crow skin has fine leather, no variegation, and no sand spots. It is a rare high-quality seed material and is very rare.  , the price is high. Of course, this feather pipe is not made of top-grade crow skin, otherwise it would not be cheaper for me."

    After hearing the explanation, Qian Siling quickly asked: "How much is this feather tube worth?"

    "About fifty thousand," Meng Zitao said.

    Everyone else at the table was extremely surprised. Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars turned into fifty thousand in the blink of an eye. This money was so good.

    Qian Siling came back to her senses: "You are looking for trouble. Since it is so valuable, it doesn't matter if you buy it for five hundred yuan. Don't worry about the other party not selling it to you."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "You don't understand. Bargaining the price one after another, for me, can prevent him from betraying; for him, in the end, it can make him feel that he is not at a loss. If he is really like you, he feels that he is picking up the slack.  If you just agree to the price, you are likely to regret it." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
