The stall owner was also stupid. He probably didn't expect to meet a customer like Li Rui.

Seeing that he did not answer, Li Rui pulled Tao Yuanyuan to continue walking.

The stall owner was stunned and said: Oh, ah, don’t leave! Then can’t we discuss it anymore?

Tao Yuanyuan almost squirted.

Can you discuss it again at 200? She almost agreed to the price of 45,000 just now!

Li Rui turned around: How to discuss?

The stall owner said with a grievance: There are hundreds or thousands of stones next to him. I am aa-level natural crystal!

Level A. Li Rui corrected his way.

The stall owner sighed: Okay, I said, "Young man, you really understand, and I won't be able to shake the price with you." So, you can add some more, how about 500 yuan?"

Li Rui was happy: Is this a point added? It’s doubled and it’s a turn!

Four hundred!

Three hundred. Li Rui said, if I don’t sell it, I’ll leave.

Three hundred is three hundred. The stall owner gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. I lost some money today and became a friend!

Tao Yuanyuan watched Li Rui count three red tickets, exchanged for the yellow crystal ball, and handed it into her hands.

Holding the crystal ball, Tao Yuanyuan said incredibly: He asked for 5,000 yuan, but you bought it after spending 300 yuan? The price difference is too much. Is this the antique market all done in this way?

Li Rui whispered: What do you think? I'll give you more than three hundred. If you don't like it so much, you probably can buy it for 100 yuan!

Taoyuanyuan usually buys things in luxury stores, but there is no bargaining rule in that place. I was really confused when I suddenly encountered such a scene.

And when she looked at the crystal ball again, she couldn't like it anymore. It turned out that what she liked was not the crystal ball, but the crystal ball worth 5,000 yuan.

The two continued to walk forward, with all kinds of stalls, only they could not imagine, and nothing they didn't sell here.

All kinds of fakes are emerging one after another, including Qi Baishi's shrimps, Xu Beihong's horses, Zheng Banqiao's bamboos, and Qingming Shanghetu and Lantingxu. The stall owner swears that it is the original work, and almost laughs at the big teeth of the two.

Tao Yuanyuan smiled and said: How dare he say it?

Li Rui said: You dare to ask, why don’t he say it? People who can make these things are just playing around with them!

Tao Yuanyuan curled her lips: They are all fakes, they are boring. I don’t want to go shopping anymore, I want to go back and rest.

Li Rui breezes forward and says: Go ahead, there is something good!

Keep moving forward, there is a row of small houses at the end of the market, which are decorated in extremely exquisite and elegant styles, and are completely different from the messy stalls and shops in front, which is refreshing.

Tao Yuanyuan said in surprise: What is the purpose over there?

Li Ruidao: Jade Carving Studio, go and take a look.

These studios are the targets of Li Rui's visit this time.

When he came to the Confucian Temple Antique Market in his previous life, it had passed its most prosperous period. Many stores were moved away, and the jade carving studio had already been moved to other places, leaving only one legend.

The end of 2010 happened to be the beginning of the explosion of the Gusu jade carving market. Some famous local jade carving masters began to focus on creating their own brands. The techniques and creativity became more mature, and a large number of exquisite jade carving works emerged.

Especially in the Confucian Temple, new-style jade carving masters represented by Wang Xi, Huang Xi, Zhou Ting, Cao Jinxing and others are emerging. In another two years, they have won the title of master of arts and crafts awarded by the state, and even become national-level.

The inheritor of intangible cultural heritage has seen the price of works soaring, and it is no longer something that ordinary people can collect!

The two of them looked at the studios one by one. Each studio had a small store, about 30 to 40 square meters. There were jade carved by craftsmen in front and carved workbenches behind.

Tao Yuanyuan said excitedly: I just want to buy a jade token, go in and take a look!

Wait a moment. Li Rui pulled her all the way and suddenly his eyes lit up.

【Wang Xi Studio】

[Wang Xi, born in 1964, joined the Gusu Jade Carving Factory in 1983, established a personal studio in 1992, and held the first national personal jade carving exhibition at the Gusu Arts and Crafts Museum in 2006]

Go to this house. Li Rui walked in.

In the small shop that is more than 40 square meters, there are various jade pieces on several rows of antique shelves at the door.

Most of them are Guanyin cards, Guanyin pallets, hand cards, pendants, rings, ornaments, bracelets, and some exquisite crafts that Li Rui cannot call their names. Each piece is full of charm and exquisite.

Tao Yuanyuan was stunned: So beautiful! He couldn't move his steps while standing there.

Li Rui turned around quietly, standing in front of a medium-sized ornament. Judging from the label, this is one of a series of works called "Sketching Jiangnan".

Speaking of Jiangnan, people always think of small bridges, flowing water, misty rain, elegant gardens, ink painting, and eternal elegance.

The jade carving style of Jiangnan also adheres to the impression given by Jiangnan. It is known for its exquisiteness and delicacy, with an ethereal, clean, simple and quiet atmosphere.

One stroke and one stroke, one stroke, one stroke, one trace, one strand, one strand, one wisp, one spring breeze, one chop and one stumble, one small bridge, this work slightly carves the lines of the jade solidified, and it makes it vivid

Images give people endless imagination space.

Li Rui really likes this work, in fact, it is not the first time he has been here.

When he came to this studio in his previous life, the owner had moved away, and only a few samples were left. Li Rui was fascinated by the time and lingered in the air. He really wanted to buy one and collect it and play with it.

But after looking at the price tag, Li Rui could only silently disturb him and turned around and left.

Can't afford it!

Thinking of this, Li Rui turned around and looked at the studio owner who was concentrating on carving in front of the workbench. He was in his forties, with very short hair, exposed blue hair, and his eyes were staring at the jade token in his hand, and his carving knife.

It was smoothly swiping over it, and it seemed that it did not notice the arrival of the two of them.

Suddenly, Tao Yuanyuan said in surprise: Li Rui, I like this!

Li Rui looked in the direction of her finger. It was a Hetian jade seed material lotus Guanyin card, which was as crystal clear as breasts and was as plump as snow. A white lotus bloomed on the jade card, which was beautiful.

Not bad. Li Rui nodded.

At this time, the studio owner was also alarmed and looked up.

Sorry, I disturbed me. Li Rui said politely.

The master stood up, smiled shyly and said: Don’t bother you, do you like anything?

Tao Yuanyuan pointed at the Guanyin card and said: How much does this cost?

The master said: Eight thousand.

It's so cheap! Li Rui thought to himself that this thing will be put in five years and will be the base of 80,000 yuan!

Just when Li Rui wanted to get close to the other party, Tao Yuanyuan suddenly said: Will it be sold for 500 yuan?
Chapter completed!
