"This is the jade belt," Fatty said with a smile. There were two types of belts that people wore in ancient times: big belts and leather belts. The big belt was made of cloth and used to tighten the waist. The leather belt was mostly made of raw leather and was mainly used to tie seals, bags, swords and so on. There was a total bag ribbon, which was used to hang on the leather belt.”
"Such leather belts are also known as jade belts, gold belts, silver belts, and so on. Among them, jade belts are the most noble and can only be used by officials.”
" The revolution was brought to the Ming Dynasty," Fatty said softly." It evolved into a set of strict rules and systems. It didn't even serve as a corset like in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Instead, it became an ornament for the class."”
"Brother Fatty, your knowledge is really vast! Admirable, admirable." Yi Yi said with admiration.
Fatty shook the flesh on his body and said,"Brother Fatty's amazing part is still to come. According to the records, the shape, quantity, and combination of the Ming Dynasty's jade belts and belts are very regular. Among them, the front of the leather belt is called Santai, the left and right sides are lined with three round peaches, the left and right sides are lined with squares called fishtail, there are two small squares to assist, seven in the back and thirteen in the front.”
"From this, it can be seen that the ribbon in the box meets this standard. Moreover, the carvings on the belt were cloud and dragon patterns. The five claws were the dragon, and it was used by the emperor. The four-clawed python could only be used by princes, dukes, nobles, and high-ranking officials.”
"This is a four-clawed beast." Li Fei picked up a round peach-shaped piece of jade and carefully examined the patterns on it.
The cloud dragon pattern on the pattern had four claws and a slender body. The edges of the decorative patterns and the frame had been polished off, revealing a smooth outline. The meticulous polishing made the front and side of the belt perfectly reflect the lustrous luster.
Under the sunlight, this round peach jade belt was crystal clear and flawless.
"This is Hetian White Green Jade."
Fatty continued to show off." Brother Fei is amazing. It's white with a tinge of green. It's a green jade. The surface of the jade has a soft luster. It's crystal clear and moist, with the texture of glass. Moreover, the knife skills were exquisite and the dragon patterns were layered and had a three-dimensional effect.”
Li Fei nodded and picked up the remaining jade pieces. After observing them one by one, he placed them into the box.
"Brother Fei, how do you feel?"
"You've already said what you should say. What else do you want me to say?”Li Fei said with a smile.
"I think this is indeed a jade belt from the Ming Dynasty.”Li Fei gave an affirmative answer.
The reason why he was so sure was that when Li Fei was observing the jade, he had already scanned it with the Divine Appraisal System and appraised one of them.
[Item: Dragon-patterned Jade Belt (1 out of 20)]
[Year of production: 680 years ago]
[Market price: 800000 yuan]
[Description: The jade is white. The board is carved with embossed dragon pattern on the mat pattern brocade. It is divided into two images: the front and the side. The scale pattern is carved with an intaglionic technique.]
With this evidence, Li Fei was naturally certain that this jade belt was definitely authentic.
After getting Li Fei's confirmation, Fatty heaved a sigh of relief. A trace of excitement flashed across his face. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. His expression calmed down.
After he calmed down, he said,"Boss, the things are not bad, but isn't the price you asked for too high?"”
"600,000 isn't too high!"
The shopkeeper's words were firm." The quality is in good condition. Twenty jade belts with all the accessories are mostly in the museum. It's already very rare on the market. It's just that you might not be able to get it if you have money."”
Although the boss's words made sense, he still had to bargain.
Fatty patiently argued with the boss. He cut the 600,000 yuan in half and then slowly increased it bit by bit.
The two of them bargained happily.
Li Fei and Yiyi felt bored and began to size up the collection of this antique shop.
The antique shop was not big, about 30 square meters. There were two rows of shelves and four glass counters in the shop. Inside the glass counter, there were some jade and jade pendants.
On the two rows of wooden shelves, the things piled up were rather messy.
"Brother, can you help me explain these items?”Yiyi hugged her brother's arm and shook it.
"Alright, let me tell you about the origin and cultural implications of these things.”Li Fei said with a smile.
Look at the few blue and white vases here. There were words written on them, such as Zhizheng, Zhiyuan, Tianshun, and so on. These were all the year titles of the Yuan Dynasty emperor!
There were only a few left now, Yuan Qinghua!
"So many Yuan Blue Flowers came out from here at once! Do you think it's true or false?" Li Fei smiled.
"That's a fake! It looks pretty good." Yi Yi stuck out her tongue and laughed.
Li Fei carefully picked up a blue and white porcelain bottle. The bottle was very heavy, and it pressed down on his wrist by a few inches.
"Look at the bottom of the foot. The traces of the machine's polishing are still there. The imitation now is not sincere at all. The workmanship is too rough.”Li Fei pointed at the foot and said to Yiyi.
"Brother, look at the wooden sculptures of Buddha, Guanyin, and Arhat. They look good.”Yiyi said as she looked at the row of decorations.
"It's a pity that they're all new. Look at the incision on the back. It was cut by a machine. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so smooth.”
"And the wood used for the decorations is also ordinary wood. It will break into pieces in three to five months at most.”Li Fei said with a smile.
"Brother, look over here. Many items are covered in dust. Are they antiques?”Yiyi said as she looked at the items in the corner of the shelf.
Li Fei saw that there was too much dust on it, so he did not do anything. He directly used the Divine Appraisal System to scan it.
The system showed that there were treasures. Li Fei was quite excited and was about to start searching.
"Li Fei, what are you guys looking at?”
"My brother is explaining it to me!" Yi Yi said with a smile.
"You're amazing, young man!" The boss said.”
"No, no, I'm looking for treasures!”Li Fei said with a smile.
"Oh, what treasure did you find?" Fatty asked curiously.
"There are quite a few treasures, but none of them are new to me.”
With the shop owner beside him, Li Fei naturally wouldn't be too straightforward. He had to pay more attention to avoid angering the shop owner.
The boss was a businessman, so how could he not understand what he meant? He didn't get angry and said with a smile,"I do have a lot of treasures in my shop. Are you still interested?”
Li Fei glanced at Fatty, who shook his head slightly. He knew that the treasure the boss mentioned was nothing special. At least Fatty didn't take a fancy to it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have only bought the jade belt.
"No matter how good the treasure is, it's a pity that we don't have enough money.”Li Fei replied.
The boss smiled and went to open the transaction receipt with Fatty.
Li Fei found the treasure from the dust and gently wiped off the dust before carefully examining it.
(Thank you, everyone. Thank you very much. I wish everyone a happy weekend.)
