Chapter 174 Tribute from the Early Tang Dynasty, six-character chisel inscription!
The two treasures turned out to be the glazed saucer and the gilt Feihong silver cage!
Fang Dahai looked over and over at the cultural relics in his hands, his eyes filled with little stars!
He also heard about the glazed saucer and asked curiously: "Brother Lin, shouldn't this thing also have a tea cup?"
It is said that cups and cups do not separate families, but now there is only a cup holder and no cup, which makes Fang Dahai feel confused.
Lin Ran didn't want to hide it from him, and explained: "Indeed, when I was digging, I only dug out the glass saucer. If it were a glass set, the price would probably double. But even if you only sell accessories, you will definitely make a profit. of."
Lin Ran said with a smile.
Fang Dahai rolled his eyes and felt that this was indeed the case.
"What is the origin of this glazed saucer?" Fang Dahai saw the pattern on it, which was somewhat unique.
"This glazed saucer was a tribute from the countries in the Western Regions to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but the specific emperor is unknown, but it is definitely from the early Tang Dynasty." Lin Ran explained.
In fact, Fang Dahai also knows that although China has already mastered glass production technology, it has not promoted it.
Most of the glassware are tributes and commodities imported from Central and West Asian countries.
The glass coaster in front of me is a product of West Asia, and its shape is also a popular style at that time.
And in order to make offerings, they also carved the white crane, which symbolizes Chinese culture, on the glass saucer, which represents the friendship with the Tang Dynasty.
Basically, this tea set should be enshrined in Famen Temple or in the palace ruins of the Tang Dynasty.
But for some unknown reason, Prince Teng got the glass cup holder and brought it to Gexian Temple. By chance, it was discovered by Lin Ran.
"This tea cup saucer is clear and free of impurities, and its style is simple and elegant. Even if it is mixed with my tea set, it will not feel out of place." Fang Dahai smiled and placed the glass saucer on the table.
Another prop attracted him very much.
Lin Ran explained to him: "The gilt-gilt Feihong's silver cage is decorated with gilt patterns. It is a gilt-silver cage. The whole body is molded and decorated with gilt patterns."
The cage has a diameter of 16 cm, a height of 17 cm, and a weight of 650 grams. "
It is composed of cage cover, cage body and lifting beam.The cage has a straight mouth, deep belly, flat bottom, four legs, and has lifting beams on the outside.
The cover is a dome, and the mouth edge is folded down to fasten with the cage body.
There is a flying dragon on the cover. The flying dragons in the inner circle lead their necks inward, and the flying dragons in the outer circle face each other.
The upper edge of the mouth is decorated with a circle of lotus petals.
At the lower edge, a circle of broken flowers is decorated.
There are even fish patterns on the bottom, and there is also a six-character chiseled inscription of "Guan Chen Wu and Li Yuejin"!
Lin Ran felt as if he had returned to the National Museum and explained the cultural relics to the students who came to visit.
Fang Dahai had already listened with rapt attention. When Lin Ran finished speaking, he showed an expression of unfinished meaning: "Are you done?"
"Brother Fang, you must have deserted just now, right?" Lin Ran smiled.
"No matter where it is," Fang Dahai said with clasped fists, "Brother Lin's explanation was so detailed that I was dumbfounded and resigned myself to defeat!"
Fang Dahai has been in the industry for many years and boasts of countless treasures. He believes that although he is not as good as Jiang Hua and others, he is still among the best among the people.
In front of Lin Ran, I felt like a primary school student.
If other people told these stories, he would definitely not believe it and would kick him out.
But he believed what Lin Ran said!
Decided to buy it on the spot.
"Brother Lin, since you brought something here, you must want me to accept it, so you can make a price." Fang Dahai was so impressed that he had lost all desire to bargain.
Lin Ran evaluated the price, and based on the current prices, he gave Fang Dahai 500 yuan, so that everyone could make money.
After Lin Ran quoted the price, Fang Dahai opened the drawer directly and started counting the money from inside.
A pile of money was folded and placed on the table in front of Lin Ran: "Brother Lin, please click."
Lin Ran put the money directly into his pocket without counting it, and said, "Brother Fang, I can rest assured."
Fang Dahai felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Lin for your love!"
"Brother, you're welcome. I have something to do today, so I'll take my leave now!"
After sending Lin Ran out of the store in person and watching Lin Ran go away, Fang Dahai still waved enthusiastically: "Brother Lin, you must come here often when you have time."
I was extremely happy. Befriending Lin Ran was definitely my best decision!
……
Lin Ran saw that it was still early, so he was not in a hurry to go home.
He remembered that Yang Jianlong was looking for him, but Wangjing City was not something ordinary people like him could enter and exit at will. Even if he said he was going in to find Zheng Xueming, the security guards would not believe him.
Therefore, I can only call my great eldest son first.
In Beijing in the early 80s, there were already public phone booths on the streets, but if you wanted to make a call, you needed to put in coins.
Lin Ran also got playful for a moment and went to a public phone booth. There was a man in a suit shouting loudly in front of the phone. People are not used to talking on the phone now, so they thought they had to shout to the other party to hear him.
After he finished the call, it was finally Lin Ran's turn.
He didn't remember Zheng Xueming's home phone number, but he remembered Yang Jianlong's BB number very clearly.
It's an extremely arrogant six-eight!
Being able to get this number also proves Yang Jianlong's strength and fashionability from the side.
So, Lin Ran dialed the paging station and called Yang Jianlong's bb phone.
After a while, Yang Jianlong called back.
"Hello? Who is it?" Yang Jianlong said in a disdainful tone, because the bb machine only knew that someone was looking for him, but he didn't know who it was.
The phone number in front of me is another unfamiliar number.
"Jianlong, it's me." Lin Ran said.
Although they were separated by the phone, there was only one person speaking to him in this tone.
"Godfather!" Yang Jianlong was overjoyed.
After explaining his intention and hanging up the phone, Lin Ran stood on the side of the road waiting.
Not long after, Yang Jianlong's car appeared in front of him.
"Here." Because there were so many people on the road, Lin Ran was worried that Yang Jianlong couldn't see him, so he waved to say hello.
When Yang Jianlong saw Lin Ran, he parked the car aside, got out of the car, and hugged Lin Ran directly.
Such enthusiasm shocked Lin Ran.
"Godfather, I was worried to death because you weren't at home a few days ago." Yang Jianlong joked.
"What's there to worry about? What do you want from me?" Lin Ran was almost out of breath from being hugged.
Passers-by looked sideways. They only saw a middle-aged man driving a luxury car getting out of the car, then holding a young boy in his arms and calling him godfather.
Fortunately, neither Yang Jianlong nor Lin Ran cared about what others thought, and then got into the car.
Lin Ran put on his seat belt naturally, and made Yang Jianlong laugh for a while: "Godfather, the co-pilot doesn't need to wear a seat belt."
"Who told you that you must wear a seat belt as long as you sit in the front seat. Remember it for me in the future." Lin Ran had not passed the driver's license test in this era, but he knew that what Yang Jianlong was talking about was definitely not traffic regulations, but The rules he set himself.
Yang Jianlong replied: "Yes, the child will definitely remember it."
The car started and Yang Jianlong said: "Godfather, since it's still early today, let's go to Uncle Chen's house now!"
