Xi'an Rosefinch Flower Market was the flower market of Xi'an South Second Ring Road. It was invested and built by Xi'an Guangda Property Management Co., Ltd. It was the largest, most famous and most complete professional flower market in Xi'an. In July 2010, the market was upgraded and opened for business. The business area was about 10,000 square meters, and more than 200 merchants settled in.
The Provincial Orchid Association, the Provincial Strange Stone Association, and the Provincial Ornamental Fish Association were all in the market.
They arrived in less than half an hour by bus No. 509.
There were more people here than in Xiguang Flower Market. In addition to the main flower, plant, and aquarium areas, there were new residential areas and arts and crafts pedestrian areas, making the market more complete. The products include fresh flowers, orchids, plants, bonsai, strange stones, crystals, jade, mahogany furniture, porcelain, root carvings, high-end ornamental fish, and more than a thousand kinds.
In fact, there were markets like this everywhere. Even Yanjing had a place like Panjiayuan, let alone other places. Xi'an was considered the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. With its cultural heritage, it was natural for a place like Panjiayuan to be born.
The Vermilion Bird Flower Market was just a combination of flowers, trees, antiques, antiques, and other things to appreciate. It had become a bigger and more comprehensive market.
There were many flowers, trees, and potted plants. However, there were also many rare stones, rockery, and other gold and stone products. There were also many hand-made crafts. There was also a place specially opened for pet trade and exhibition.
Not only was this place much bigger than Xiguang Flower Market, but the goods were also much more varied. The price was also much higher than other flower markets.
Along the way, there were many expensive flowers. Not long after, there were several flowers that were priced at more than ten thousand yuan.
Some of the potted plants were even more valuable, even worth hundreds of thousands. The higher the price of the item, the more people would stop to look at it. Regardless of whether they bought it or not, it was a pleasure for these flower lovers to look at the expensive and beautiful flowers.
Moreover, some people set their prices very high, not because they wanted to sell flowers, but because they wanted to show off their collections. It was a matter of face for their favorite things to be approved and envied by the vast number of peers.
There were also some people who wanted to hype up the market. The price was very high, and those who wanted to lower the price would always smile and not say anything. They would just quietly wait for the evaluation of the people passing by. They would first make a name for themselves before they could wait for the price to rise.
No matter what, as long as these flowers could be displayed, there would always be something special about them. They were worth this price. In general, they were not asking for a random price.
The most expensive potted plant was an orchid. According to the onlookers, it was a newly cultivated species and was priced at 400,000 yuan. The money in Zhang Wenyuan's waist might not even be enough to buy a leaf. There were many onlookers. In addition, he was not interested in orchids for the time being, so he did not squeeze in to see what kind of flower shape and color it was.
Even though he had just sold some medicinal herbs for two yuan, there were many flowers and bonsai here that he could not afford. He was just here to watch the excitement and feast his eyes.
Of course, there were also many crafts that Zhang Wenyuan could stop and look at for a while. Many of the stone scenes were quite innovative.
There was a stone craft shop that displayed a treasure. It was carved according to the general shape of the jade stone and a little artificial chiseling to form an ancient courtyard of a wealthy family. There were pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, and the carvings were meticulous and realistic. Even the expressions of the young ladies and maids who were chatting and laughing under the pavilion were vivid, as if they were alive.
The shopkeeper ingeniously poured a pool of water into the small flower garden as a pond in the yard, and planted a special kind of small lotus flower. The small white lotus flower the size of a coin added a lot of vitality to this jade craft. It was as if this was a shrunken real courtyard.
The courtyard was placed in the most eye-catching place of the stone shop. It could be seen from the entrance of the shop.
Zhang Wenyuan was admiring the jade cabbage outside the shop. The milky white jade was carved into cabbages, and there were some small green insects eating the cabbages on it. The word "Cai" and "Cai" in Chinese cabbage sounded the same. Not only did it look gratifying, but it also had a beautiful meaning. Basically, it was a must-have item at the entrance of every jade shop, with the intention of attracting money and treasures.
He did not expect to see the courtyard carved out of jade when he raised his head, so he walked into the shop out of curiosity.
Someone in the shop happened to be looking at the jade. Seeing that the boss wanted to leave and greet him, he quickly waved his hand and said,"Boss, you're busy. I just came in to take a look."”Therefore, the boss continued to introduce the items to the customers and the prices. Zhang Wenyuan wandered around the store alone to look at the decorations and the jade items on the shelves.
He took a closer look at the jade courtyard. It was 70 to 80 centimeters square. In fact, the texture of such a large piece of jade was not a good or famous jade. Zhang Wenyuan thought about it and agreed. If it was a good jade, just such a large piece was a treasure. Coupled with such a fine carving, the price would not be easy to estimate. It would not be placed here. It would probably have been collected long ago. At that time, he would have tried his best to hide it, and not put it in an eye-catching place like now, as if he was afraid that others would not know.
Therefore, the main highlight of this piece was the craftsmanship of the carving. It could be described as ingenious. It was not an exaggeration to say that it could turn something rotten into something magical. If it was just a piece of jade with good or even bad quality, it would not be worth much. It would only be worth 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. But now, after some expert's magical carving, the price immediately increased by dozens of times.
He remembered that he had once appraised a piece of chicken blood jade in the Central Department 10's treasure appraisal program. Fei Cui was about half a meter tall and blood red, as if she had just been sprinkled with chicken blood. Similar to this one, the other one regarded the entire jade as a mountain. As it spiraled up, it carved many well-arranged houses and pavilions on the parts of the jade that were not blood-red. The carving was also exquisite and magical. The eaves hung from the corners, and the autumn hair was clearly visible.
However, the main reason was that the main material was expensive. In addition, the good carving made the red color of the jade stand out. In the end, the price was more than 18 million.
The material of this stone couldn't be compared to the bloodstone, but its carving skills were better. Therefore, this piece mainly sold the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the sculptor. Zhang Wenyuan's initial estimate was around 600,000.
After a while, the boss came over to entertain Zhang Wenyuan with a smile. Looking at the smile on his face, the last customer must have made him a lot of money.
"Which one do you like? The shop was full of authentic Lantian jade.”
Zhang Wenyuan shook his head and shrugged."Do you think I'm someone who can afford jade?”
"You must be joking. Clothes don't necessarily determine a person's purchasing ability. Now, many people were very low-key, and one couldn't tell from their appearance.”
"I really don't have the ability to buy it now.”
The boss was still smiling." You can't sell it now, but the competition means you can sell it in the future, right?" It was good to look at it now. If he wanted to buy it in the future, he could come and buy it anytime.”
Zhang Wenyuan smiled but didn't say anything. The boss explained the jade in the shop.
"My shop owner wants to sell Lantian jade. Of course, there are other jades, but not too many.”
Zhang Wenyuan, as a native of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, had heard of Lantian jade before. After all, he was a person who had experienced the deep and hot college entrance examination, so he still remembered some poems. Li Shangyin had a famous sentence that was passed down through the ages.
When he introduced the jade courtyard, the boss obviously sounded proud.
"This was carved by my grandfather himself back then and has been passed down to me as a family heirloom.”
"Is this the most expensive thing in your shop?" Zhang Wenyuan asked curiously.”
"No, I have other jade that is better than this. However, this is the treasure of the shop because it was carved by my grandfather.”
"Are you selling it?"
"As long as the price is right, it can be sold. After all, this is a jade shop and a merchant. There's nothing that can't be sold. As for the meaning behind it, as long as it was bought at a good price, it would be the best affirmation for the sculptor.”
"What's the price?"
"Brother, are you interested in this?”The jade shop owner asked in surprise.
"Ting likes it, but he can't afford it yet.”Zhang Wenyuan replied.
"The initial price is 1.2 million. If anyone is sincere, we can still discuss it.”
" Oh." Zhang Wenyuan estimated that the boss had inflated the price by a lot and was asking for an exorbitant price, so he didn't bother with this issue anymore. he asked.
"Where did you get this little lotus flower in the middle?”This was his true purpose.
"This is a rare lotus. It's not common in other places, but you can still find it in this market. Those stalls that specialized in selling strange seeds or small items had them.”
Since he had achieved his goal and did not want to sell any jade items, there was no need to stay here any longer. Hence, he chatted with the boss for a while before leaving the jade shop.
After he left, he went straight to the small stalls that sold strange items. It didn't take long for him to find the place that sold the little lotus seeds. Not only did the stall have small lotus seeds, but there were also thousand-year-old lotus seeds. The boss strongly recommended them to Zhang Wenyuan, but Zhang Wenyuan only bought small lotus seeds.
Buying the small lotus seeds was just a hobby. As for the thousand-year-old or hundred-year-old lotus seeds, it had nothing to do with him. Therefore, he didn't care about them anymore. He bought the small lotus seeds and left.
After a few steps, he saw a group of people gathered together, pointing at the circle and discussing.
Zhang Wenyuan was unusually tall. He could see what was happening in the crowd from behind.
It turned out that someone was selling a pot of osmanthus.
