    "Haha, Mr. Wei is indeed a dragon among men. Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wu, where are you two?" Mr. Liu praised, and then looked at the remaining two people.

    The four of them are all playboys in the same circle. How can they back down in the face of this situation? If they back down this time, they probably won’t be able to hold their heads up in front of them. Mr. Zhang looked at Mr. Wu and nodded.  "This is a very interesting idea. I originally thought this antique party was a bit bland, so this is just right. I'll join."

    The three young masters immediately looked at Mr. Wu who was sitting next to him. A smile suddenly appeared on Mr. Wu's face, "I also have great confidence in the pawn shop I chose. This time, the first place,  I am bound to win, I will participate.”

    Although he said that he was bound to win, Mr. Wu's heart was broken at the moment. He knew that Mr. Liu had bad intentions, but in this situation, he could only pretend to be fat.

    He looked at the two pawnshops he selected, hoping that the other pawnshop would be able to come up with a valuable antique. As for Xinglong Pawnshop, he really didn't have the slightest confidence.

    "I knew Mr. Wu would definitely agree." Mr. Liu showed a thick smile, and then continued: "The four of us will catch the eunuchs, write the numbers on each, display the antiques in order, and divide them into two  Wheel, you guys have no objections."

    After the other three people nodded, Mr. Liu asked his servant to bring a piece of paper, wrote four numbers on it, clenched it into a ball, shook it in his hand, and then asked the other three people to start choosing, "Come on, Mr. Wei. You guys."  Three people pick first.”

    The three young masters of Wei each chose a paper ball.  Mr. Liu then took the last paper ball in his hand, opened it, and smiled immediately, "Haha, it's better to be lucky than to pick well. Mine is one."

    "Mr. Liu's luck is really amazing, mine is number two." Mr. Zhang smiled and showed off his paper ball.

    "Mine is three. Fortunately, this is not a ranking at an antique party." Mr. Wei shook his head and smiled.

    Mr. Liu looked at Mr. Wu.  "Mr. Wu's should be number four, but fortunately this is not the ranking of antique gatherings."

    Mr. Wu smiled coldly and tore the paper ball in his hand into pieces. He felt that his luck was indeed a bit bad today.

    If he loses and Liu wins, then they will definitely choose the most valuable antique among themselves. In that case, he will definitely be laughed at in the circle during this period.

    “It’s just that the two pawn shops he chose really feel a bit unreliable.  He could only pray for God's blessing.

    "Okay, now the first round begins. Let me show you first. Shopkeeper Qi, you go first. I believe you won't let me down."

    Mr. Liu said with a dull look. He really didn't know what the two pawnshops brought this time, but judging from the previous gatherings, the things brought by shopkeeper Qi and the other shopkeeper were all of high value.  Antique, so he had the confidence to set up this game.

    Shopkeeper Qi had a thick smile on his face. Even if the quality of the antiques he got had nothing to do with Mr. Liu, every time he would choose the best antiques, not only in exchange for money, but also in exchange for money.  It is to establish a good relationship with Mr. Liu so that he can come to attend the party every time.

    "Young Master Liu, I will not disappoint you. What I have brought is the token of the Tiger Head Army of the Yuan Dynasty." Then, shopkeeper Qi waved his hand behind him, and the man in his pawn shop immediately handed over the box in his hand.  Gave it to him.

    After taking the box, Shopkeeper Qi opened it and handed the box to Mr. Liu with both hands. When Mr. Liu took it out to look at it, he continued: "This tiger head army token is made of gold. The tiger head on it is  It is very majestic and shocking, and what is engraved on it is Basba script, which was also the official secret text at that time. This text means Genghis Khan, the military order is like a mountain."

    "This also proves that this tiger-headed army token was used by Genghis Khan, Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty. According to legend, after Genghis Khan established the Mongolian Kingdom, he continued to expand territory and occupied many places. In order to exercise command and control over the army,  Dignity, dispatching troops and generals use gold tiger head cards to express majesty and nobility.”

    "This Tiger Head Army token is very well preserved. It can be said to be a rare thing. It is more meaningful than other items from the Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, this token has been appreciated by Master Li of Baoyuan Hall.  , considered to be the Tiger Head Army token from the Genghis Khan era of the Yuan Dynasty.”

    Listening to Shopkeeper Qi’s introduction, Mr. Liu played with this Tiger Head Army Token with great interest. It was made of gold. It felt heavy and felt very good.

    And antiques are about mystery and rarity. This Tiger Head Army Token undoubtedly achieves these two points.

      "Okay, it looks really good. Come to Mr. Wei, the three of you can take a look." Then Mr. Liu handed the token to the other three people for viewing.

    The other three people were also quite interested in touching this Tiger Head Army Token. After all, such tokens are used by the military and can be handed down and preserved well. I am afraid that there are only a few of them.

    The purpose of holding this antique party is to see if there are any good antiques in these pawn shops, and then they will buy them.

    And Mr. Zhang, after repeatedly looking at the Tiger Head Army token, bit it with his teeth, leaving shallow teeth marks on the token.

    "Haha, Mr. Zhang, stop biting it with your teeth. I have a touchstone here. You will know after you try it." Seeing this scene, Mr. Liu smiled and then took a stone from the servant's hand.  Passed it to Mr. Zhang.

    "Oh, there is a touchstone, which is really convenient." Mr. Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he scratched the stone with the token.

    Seeing this scene, Chen Yi nodded and smiled. There were several ways to identify gold in ancient times. One was the common method of biting with teeth. Like silver, the hardness of pure gold is also low. If it is mixed with copper, it will be very hard.  hard.

    In addition to biting it with your teeth, a more authoritative way is to use a touchstone, which is a hard black stone. If you draw a stripe with gold on it, you can see the color of the gold. According to the records of the Yuan Dynasty,  There have been touchstones, and even in modern times it is still one of the main methods of identification used by some professional appraisers in banks and gold shops.

    When touching the touchstone, Mr. Zhang drew a few stripes, looked at the golden color on it, and immediately smiled, "It is indeed gold." If the gold contains a lot of silver, the stripes drawn will be cyan, and if the gold contains copper, the stripes will be cyan.  If there are more, then a scratch on the touchstone will make a sound.

    Finally, it was Mr. Wu's turn. He took the token in his hand, looked at it carefully, and finally sighed and smiled. The value of this token will definitely not be low. Liu is lucky.

    "Three of you, you have finished reading. Do you have any opinions? Do you think this Tiger Head Army token is real?" After the three of them finished reading, Mr. Liu took the token in his hand and asked with a smile.  .

    "I think it's true. Baoyuantang is the largest pawnshop in the capital, and Master Li is the number one antique connoisseur there. His vision is absolutely unmistakable." Mr. Wei said without hesitation.

    Mr. Zhang also nodded, "This tiger head army token is made of gold, the tiger head on it is exquisite and full of majesty, and it has been appreciated by Mr. Li. I also think it is authentic."

    "I also think it's true." Mr. Wu has no objections. After all, Mr. Li from Baoyuan Hall is the number one person in appreciating antiques, and his vision is unmistakable.

    Hearing the words of several people, Chen Yi smiled slightly. This Tiger Head Army token is indeed real. Master Li from Baoyuan Hall must have a very high appraisal level.

    "Okay, since everyone thinks it is true, now whoever wants to get this token can bid. Let me first say that the value of this antique is related to the final ranking. Therefore, the four of us cannot  If the price is too much higher than the previous price, otherwise, the value of this antique will be decided by the other three people. I think the three of them will have no objection. "

    At this time, Mr. Liu said to the other three people with a serious face. After all, the value of the antiques this time was related to the ranking. He was worried that some people would be desperate and pay too high a price at one time.

    Hearing Mr. Liu’s words, the three of them nodded, thinking this method was better.

    "Shopkeeper Qi, what's the starting price for this sign?" Seeing the three people agreeing, Mr. Liu smiled and asked Shopkeeper Qi on the side with the token.

    Shopkeeper Qi nodded, then stretched out a finger, "One thousand taels of silver."

    Mr. Wei pondered for a moment, and then said: "This Yuan Dynasty tiger head army token is not expensive for one thousand taels of silver. I will pay one thousand one hundred taels."

    "I will pay one thousand two hundred taels." Mr. Zhang, who was sitting next to him, said without hesitation that he would increase the price.

    "I'll give you one thousand three hundred taels." Mr. Wu added another hundred taels. This Tiger Head Army token is really good, and it can be used to decorate the appearance.

    Hearing everyone's bids, Chen Yi felt that Shopkeeper Qi really didn't dare to ask for it. If this tiger head army token were in modern times, it would be worth at least 10 million yuan. Even in the Ming Dynasty, according to the information from the appraisal system,  It can also be worth thousands of taels of silver.

    After all, in the modern world, many high-value antiques are speculated. In ancient times, they naturally shrank a lot.

    "I'll pay one thousand four hundred taels." Mr. Liu also offered a price. This was not only the one he chose.The thing that the shop brought out, and he himself really wanted to get this token.

    The price is slowly increasing, and shopkeeper Qi's face is constantly showing a thick smile. He only spent seven or eight hundred taels of silver on this Tiger Head Army Token, but now it can be said that he has made a lot of money.  Sent.  (To be continued)
