Chapter 180 Treasures(1/2)
After having a sumptuous dinner, Bai Gaorui was anxious to go back to the study to continue reading the baby. Grandma couldn't persuade him, so she let him go. Anyway, her family was fine.
In the past, he received calls from an old friend and ran out in the middle of the night, but now there are a lot less.
There are mainly not many antiques that can excite him.
He also asked Xia Yu to act with him, but Bai Yujiao didn't go with her and talked to her mother and grandma. Bai Hanhai was happy. He was not so interested in antiques and cultural relics. After a day of busyness, he wanted to have a good rest.
Bai Yujiao soon went to the study and took out the red sapphire and pearls that Xia Yu gave her, and said she would come back to see these cultural relics later.
Xia Yu continued to check these porcelains with Bai Gaorui.
He chose the best products, but he didn't move the usual ones and didn't have time to clean and desalinate them.
Bai Gaorui is particularly interested in these types of celadons, platter bottles, water bowls and other celadons. The patterns of these celadons vary greatly, with bird patterns engraved with thin lines and a large number of flowers and plants, which are of great research value.
What excited him the most was a particularly exquisite deer-shaped lid box.
The object is not big, about ten centimeters long and five or six centimeters high, but the workmanship is delicate and delicate. The box is shaped like a deer sitting on the ground, bending his head to lick his hair, and a deer antler is still intact. This is the cover part, and the box body is the lower body of the deer, with the legs crossed and overlapping, which is clearly visible.
Such deer-shaped lid boxes are quite rare in Yue kiln porcelain.
Bai Gaorui and Bai Yujiao who came from behind were consistent with Xia Yu's original judgment. He believed that this was very likely to be a lid box specially customized by Buddhists.
Bai Gaorui also mentioned the legend of the nine-colored deer in "The Deer King Bensheng".
It is said that Sakyamuni was a nine-colored deer in his previous life. He saved a man who was about to drown and was betrayed by him.
In addition to such a special lid box, there is also an octagonal cup ears, which are made of animal heads, and are very exquisite in engraving skills.
These Yue kiln celadons can all be regarded as treasures.
But Bai Yujiao said with regret, "It's a pity that even the secret color porcelain is still far from matching their true value."
Bai Gaorui also nodded, "This is the market for ancient porcelain and has not been fully cultivated."
Then he also asked Xia Yu, "Ayu, what are you going to deal with these porcelains? Or what if you communicate with them?"
Xia Yu still had the same method as Bai Gaoze’s side, “If you have a large number of them, you can communicate with them appropriately, and keep the treasures with a small number of them yourself.”
Bai Gaorui is not sure which quantity is more and which quantity is less, but Xia Yu himself knows the most.
This shows that he has also thought about it carefully, whether it is Yue Kiln celadon or the most exquisite secret color porcelain. It is a good thing to communicate part of it, cultivate the market, and let more people know and understand it.
Then, he and Bai Yujiao can also earn more.
It is not realistic to rely solely on selling high-priced Yuan blue and white porcelain.
Another main reason is that there are too many porcelains on this ship, and there are more than 100,000 pieces of complete ones alone, so it is time to communicate with them.
Bai Gaorui and Bai Yujiao naturally agreed that they had good things in hand and were not short of money now, so they didn’t have to be so anxious to take action. If they wanted to communicate, they would also communicate to experts who truly understand these porcelains. Otherwise, it would be a pity to throw the pearls into secretly.
Then he briefly talked about the cooperation with Bai Gaoze and others in the Hong Kong City. Bai Gaorui naturally understood that it was too risky to get things like ivory, coral, rhinoceros horns to the mainland. There was no need to do so, just communicate in Hong Kong City.
As for things like red sapphires and pearls, Yuxiangzhai mainly makes antique cultural relics. Although he can get involved in jade, he cannot ship large-scale goods like a jewelry company.
It is the best to cooperate with Bai Hanfei's Bai's Jewelry.
The two of them finally understood how many good things Xia Yu had made after so long this time.
But Xia Yu also said that there are still many things that have not been brought back yet, so they just wait for him to get them back later.
After counting all the things brought, Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao also left.
Bai Gaorui continued, and he would probably be fine if he stayed in the study until dawn.
Xia Yu didn't plan to go back that night. He was used to living here with thick skin, and Bai Yujiao wouldn't let him go.
After the two returned to the house, Bai Yujiao also said that after she gave the pearl necklace to her mother and grandma, they both liked it very much and asked her to help express her gratitude.
Xia Yu smiled and said, "Actually, they were all salvaged. If I really wanted to go to sea to find pearls, I really couldn't find so many pearls."
"Yeah, now all the pearls are breeding. In the past, the value of these pearls alone is astronomical. The owner of this ship is really rich!" Bai Yu said with a smile.
"I guess the owner of the ship is an organization that many people invest together, similar to the joint business names, because there are too many things on the ship and there are everything. Not to mention anything else, just the porcelain on it, it is very difficult for ordinary business names to get together." Xia Yu speculated.
"It's a pity that the merchant ship sank in the end, and it turned out that we were all cheaper." Bai Yujiao continued.
"Yes! According to my analysis, it should be the boats there. The shapes and wood are not the mainstream types of ships in our country at that time." Xia Yu said that after talking to her about the relevant situation, he also talked about the gems salvaged on the ship.
Bai Yujiao naturally didn't think about taking all these gems as herself because there were too many gems.
Xia Yu also said that he left behind gems of higher quality, and some used poor quality to practice. Then he also said, "What I was thinking about is whether to give some red sapphires to Xiaoxue, her mother and grandmother. This is much more expensive than a pearl necklace."
"It depends on my husband's own thoughts." Bai Yu said with a giggle, "Anyway, I already have it, and my husband won't want to go back, right?"
Xia Yu was also funny, "What am I going back? I don't wear it. My wife is so beautiful. After the gemstone is made, it will definitely complement each other and become more beautiful after wearing it."
"I'll talk about it after I'll design it first, husband, can we do it together?"
Xia Yu nodded and said yes. Bai Yujiao happily said, "My mother just said that my husband was so kind to me. She gave me such a precious gem."
"No matter how precious the gems are, they are not as precious as your wife! Wife, you are the real priceless treasure. I am also worried that these gems are not worthy of your wife's talent and beauty!" Xia Yu's tongue-in-law was full of lotus flowers, and he picked up all the good things and gave them all out. Isn't it boring to say things like being reluctant to let go?
"Husband is so nice!" Sure enough, Bai Yujiao became more and more happy when she heard this, and threw herself into his arms and kissed her.
I haven't met for several days and it soon became in full swing.
Xia Yu's shiny gem was not given for free, but eventually became a star that illuminated the deep communication between the two.
When the love reached deeper, Bai Yujiao shouted that she would be his own vixen in this life.
Finally, the two top students who love to study hard and study hard have played some new jobs that are not talked about by outsiders this night.
Bai Yujiao is more keen on this than him now, so he will not refuse such a beneficial way of physical and mental exercise.
Bai Yujiao was full of energy after getting up the next day. Xia Yu seemed to be very energetic, no matter how many hours he had rested at night.
On Friday, I still went to work and school normally.
After breakfast, Xia Yu drove Bai Yu to school.
After hearing from Xia’s parents that the storm and waves on the sea were so strong that he could not get out of the sea these days, he had no plans to go back to his hometown, so he stayed with her in Yuhai.
In this way, the happiest thing is Bai Yujiao, discussing with him how to spend the weekend. Xia Yu has no special thoughts, just look at her own.
Bai Yujiao didn't make the decision by herself, saying that she was asking Xia Xue and the others what she wanted to do. She still remembered Xia Xue's sister-in-law. Xia Yu came back from Hong Kong City and didn't meet them. I hope he wouldn't be said to be yes, just have a wife and forget her sister.
Bai Yujiao did not plan to go back to her home this night, but went to Xiangli Binxue Community to gather with Xia Xue and the others, and also tasted Xia Xue's cooking skills.
They will naturally not discuss any results at this time. Anyway, it will be the weekend tomorrow, so we can discuss it carefully at night.
After sending Bai Yujiao to school, Xia Yu drove to Yulin Temple to buy some materials. Bai Yujiao was sure to use platinum as a ring support and inlaid with some broken diamonds.
All these materials were bought, but Xia Yu didn't have them. He could have taken them from Bai's Jewelry in Hong Kong, but he didn't go to their processing factory when he felt it was troublesome.
It’s okay to go back to Yuhai and buy it yourself. Yulin Temple specializes in jewelry and jade, and you can buy all kinds of materials.
Xia Yu bought a complete set of ring processing tools, which is not complicated, and can be made and processed at any small gold shop on the side of the road.
Naturally, you have to buy the materials. In addition to platinum, Xia Yu also bought rose gold, k yellow and k white.
He did his homework and knew that platinum and k-white gold are both precious metals and are often used in the production of jewelry. The difference is that platinum is a precious metal that is naturally white and is relatively expensive.
White K gold is a white alloy made of gold and palladium or metals such as nickel, silver, copper, zinc, etc., and its main component is still gold.
He has money now, so he doesn't mind buying more.
After Bai Yujiao has finished designing it, he will process it out.
In addition to giving it to Bai Yujiao's red sapphire, my sister Xia Xue naturally has a share. However, you don't have to give her a red sapphire that big, just one carat is enough. Such red sapphires also need to be inlaid, and light sapphires are not.
After buying all these things, Xia Yu went home.
He has space, but in fact he is the same wherever he lives. Now he has hardly gone to Tianguangxu and antique market Taobao because there is no need to do so. Now he is trying to find ways to take out the good things in his hands!
Unless it is a bronze ritual vessel, that thing is really not easy to do now.
However, after Xia Yu accumulated some strength, he also began to become a little ready to move.
If you want to get bronze ware, in addition to spending a lot of money to buy it, there is another way to use the characteristics of his space to exchange for the prince.
But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, prepare the replaced bronzes in advance.
It is best to imitate exactly the same thing. Of course, Xia Yu has to do this job himself. If he uses the hand of others, he will inevitably leave flaws and expose himself.
Of course, the operation of changing the prince of the raccoon must also be cautious.
The monitoring equipment is too developed now, and if you are not careful, it will reveal flaws. If it is found out, it will be troublesome. Even if you don’t catch it on the spot and pursue it later, it will be a troublesome thing.
In short, it is just Xia Yu’s idea now, and he is not ready to take it into actual action.
But you can make preparations in all aspects in advance. The most important thing is to make the things used to replace the genuine products first. Try not to be discovered or transferred within a short period of time. If it is discovered after a few years, or his skills have reached its peak and are not discovered, it is the best.
As for the materials used to make bronze ware, they are mainly copper and tin, which are all in his space. Among the cultural relics salvaged by several wrecked ships, there are things like copper ingots and tin blocks, and there are quite a lot of them.
Xia Yu also found that he would be very excited when he was trying to do these things.
If this happens, Xia Yu got home and made lunch himself.
Then I will first confirm this on the sunken ship in the early Song Dynasty and organize the salvaged cultural relics.
This huge project cannot be completed in ten days and half a month.
Xia Yu must also seize the time he can seize and order these cultural relics.
To be continued...
