Luo Tian recovered very quickly. Ten days later, he was out of the hospital. In his words, it was okay to lie in the hospital. It took a short time to take a break, but after a long time, a useless man would lie out.

Without myself, the earth will still be the same, whether it is antiques or jewelry, it will be open as usual. After Luo Tian’s heroic deeds spread, it is equivalent to another invisible advertisement. Such a way of making a fortune in disguise is really unexpected. It is praised as a hero, which makes Luo Tian even more ashamed of being a hero. At this time, it is also the right time to quickly flash people.

After arranging the work on both sides, Luo Tian and Cheng Zhen flew to Guiyang together. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived in Guiyang. They were going to Mengzheng Village. There was still a long way to go. They couldn't arrive before dark, so Luo Tian simply stayed with Cheng Zhen and went to the largest antique market in Guiyang for a walk.

Luo Tian, ​​who had seen Liulichang and Panjiayuan, was still shocked by the antique market in Guiyang. The antique city revolved around the word "ancient", imitating the style of the antique city in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The antique city covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters and has 51 pavements. The courtyard is paved with bluestone, with vermilion as the main color, plus the curtain corners and ancient archways, making people feel like they have returned to the street alleys of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"Wow, it's too serious." Cheng Zhen burst into Hong Kong Mandarin.

Luo Tian couldn't help laughing: "This is in line with the characteristics of the antique city, but don't be fooled. No matter which antique city it is, it's a mixture of fish and dragons. After a while, look more at the eyes, but talk less."

Cheng Zhen, who is good at cleaning and maintaining antiques, was at a loss when he arrived here, so he naturally listened to Luo Tian. She followed Luo Tian in. There were a few people in the antique city today, but it was a weekday after all.

As soon as Cheng Zhen walked in, he excitedly pulled Luo Tianchao a carving work. It was a very eye-catching Guanyin carving with smooth lines, lifelike facial expressions, kind eyebrows and eyes. It can be said that it is both form and spirit. Just talking about this carving is a masterpiece, no wonder it is placed in the most conspicuous place.

"However, why is this Guanyin statue orange-yellow?" Cheng Zhen was a little confused: "This kind of yellow Guanyin statue is rare."

"Because this is a wood carving made of boxwood as the material. The boxwood is originally milky yellow, and after the work is painted, it will turn ginger and eventually turn orange and yellow. The longer the time, the darker the color, until it finally turns reddish-brown." Luo Tian nodded: "It seems that this work has not been put out for a long time."

The shop owner on the side nodded repeatedly: "Young man, someone in the circle, you are right, my boxwood Guanyin has just been here for just one month."

"You are so magical." Cheng Zhen admired him repeatedly.

"This is nothing extraordinary. Those who know some of the boxwood know this characteristic." Luo Tian's modesty made Cheng Zhen laugh out loud: "I am the one I don't know."

"You..." Luo Tian shook his head helplessly: "I don't mean this."

"I know." Cheng Zhen continued his voice and said, "But, is this kind of wood carving valuable?"

"The boxwood carving is named because the wood carved is boxwood. Boxwood grows slowly, with a diameter of only about fifteen centimeters in 40 or 50 years, so there are 'blockwood difficult to grow for a thousand years' and 'blockwood'. According to legend, it was first a folk artist who sculpted the statue of gods and Buddha statues. By chance, he discovered that boxwood has a tough and smooth texture, fine texture, yellow and ivory color. It has become darker over time, simple and beautiful, and moderate hardness. It is the best material for carving small round carvings." Luo Tian continued to explain: "Now boxwood carvings are based on Yueqing, Wenzhou. The boxwood carvings, Dongyang wood carvings and Qingtian stone carvings are called the 'Zhejiang Three Carvings'. This Guanyin statue belongs to the Yueqing boxwood carvings."

The boss who was listening to the side was very energetic. To be honest, there were many people here. If they were as wise as this young man, there were not many people. They were all half a bucket of water. If they were not good enough, they would not even be as good as themselves. This opened his eyes. Although Luo Tian did not mean to patronize him, he still enthusiastically brought two glasses of water: "You two are outsiders, come and have a glass of water."

"Thank you, boss."

"It's okay, it's okay. I've been sitting here for most of the day today. I'm drowsy. When you come, I'm in my energy." The boss looked at the more and more people watching, and was secretly happy. This young man was simply his life sign.

"How do you know it must be a yellow wood carving in Yueqing?" Cheng Zhen wanted to regard Luo Tian as his idol at this time.

Luo Tian pointed to the clothes pattern on the Guanyin statue: "Looking at this pattern, it is very natural, it does not look like the carving site at all. This is because the boxwood carving in Yueqing uses split carving. After splitting the yellow wood, it takes the natural texture after splitting it to carve, so that it looks natural and further enhances the original flavor of the carving. This is what is said to be both form and spirit."

"Is it worth it?" Cheng Zhen asked a question that the store owner was most concerned about, and also attracted the attention of the onlookers.

"Since the 1980s, the folk boxwood carving collection market has gradually heated up. Since boxwood carvings from the Ming and Qing dynasties are rare, boxwood carvings are very popular in the auction market in recent years, and the market price is surprising. A boxwood carving ornament from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty is 24 cm long and has a mahogany carving pine, bamboo and plum pattern seat. On the base is a ivory carving shepherd boy, and is decorated with eight treasures composed of coral, pine, jade, sapphire, and tourmaline.

Flowers were sold for 44,000 yuan at an auction in 2002; a 11.7 cm tall boxwood carving pen holder of Qing Dynasty boxwood carvings engraved with the words "March of the Renzi of Qianlong, Chen Bi water storage", with an estimated price of only 120,000 to 180,000 yuan, and sold for 682,000 yuan in the same year." Luo Tian's words attracted a burst of surprise, and Luo Tian immediately clarified: "Of course, specifically, these are antiques after all, and they are different from modern craftsmanship, and their historical value is higher."

Luo Tian had attracted the attention of a group of people. He smiled and put the cup back, and gave the boss a good word: "Boss, you will sell it for a good price."

"Oh, I'll lend you auspicious words, and I'll lend you auspicious words. By the way, young man, what's your name?"

"Luo Tian." As soon as Luo Tian finished speaking, the boss stared straight: "Oh, I finally saw that I was alive today."

As Luo Tian said this, he patted himself: "I'm not just alive, boss, I wish you a prosperous business."

After Luo Tian said that, he wanted to leave, but the boss grabbed Luo Tian: "No, I saw someone alive today, so I have to take a photo no matter what. Xiao Li, hurry up, take out the camera!"
