    This Buddha statue made of old beeswax has a calm and solemn expression. Judging from the style and carving techniques of the Buddha statue, Chu Chen thinks it should be a product of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. From this point of view, this Buddha statue is considered valuable.  More importantly, the beeswax used in this Buddha statue is quite extraordinary in texture and color, and the height of this Buddha statue is nearly 20 centimeters. Such a huge piece of old beeswax is not easy to obtain.  This also makes this Buddha statue even more precious.  The fake beeswax was regarded as a good thing by Nian Dasha, but the real beeswax was thrown into the corner by him. Chu Chen felt funny just thinking about it.  However, without the fool Nian Dasha, Chu Chen would not have been able to pick up such a mistake. To a certain extent, Chu Chen would have to thank this fool.  After a while, Nian Dasha walked in from the door cursing. You didn't need to guess, he asked about the result of what Meng Yi first said just now.  Seeing this, Chu Chen stepped forward, raised what he was holding, and asked, "Boss Nian, I want to take this Buddha statue back. How much does it cost?" Nian Dasha looked at Chu Chen's hand. He was slightly startled because he didn¡¯t even remember when he received it. Of course, although he couldn¡¯t remember when he received it, it didn¡¯t stop him from quoting it. He asked Chu Chu with a smile on his face. Chen gave a thumbs up and said: "Boss Chu, you have good taste. This is a Buddha statue made of old beeswax" "Okay, okay!" After hearing this, Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "This thing is obviously made of Xiuyu. If it were really old beeswax, would you be willing to put it in a corner?" Xiuyu is a jade that has a long history of development and utilization in my country.  It is called one of the four famous jades in our country.  Except for a few parts of Xiu jade that are relatively expensive, other prices are relatively ordinary.  Now on the market, Xiu jade the size of the Buddha statue in Chu Chen's hand only costs tens of yuan, so the purchase price is even cheaper.  The colors of Xiuyan jade include dark green, green, light green, brown, dark red and other colors.  The depth of the color is related to the amount of iron content. When the iron content is high, the color is generally dark, and vice versa.  Xiu jade also has a strong waxy luster, glassy luster, and some have a greasy luster.  Because of this, Chu Chen felt that Nian Dasha must have mistaken the material of this Buddha statue for Xiu jade. As for the artistic style, Nian Dasha had such a vision.  How can you tell?  "MD, this kid is as smart as a monkey!" Just as Chu Chen thought, Nian Dasha did think so. He cursed secretly, then was stunned for a while, and slapped his thigh fiercely,  He said in shock: "Ah! I thought it was made by Old Beeswax, but that profiteer deceived me again!"  He looked very angry again, and for those who didn't know, he thought he had really been deceived again.  Chu Chen didn't want to accept his trick. He asked again: "Boss Nian. What's the price?" "Hey! Since it belongs to Xiuyu, Boss Chu, you can give it to me. I think you won't let me suffer.  !" Nian Dasha sighed.  He waved his hand angrily.  Chu Chen smiled and said: "What do you want me to say? I also think that the carving of this Buddha statue is good. That's why I want to invite you back. How about I give you fifty?" "Boss Chu. You are the big boss, fifty."  It¡¯s a little too little, maybe three hundred!¡± ¡°To be honest, Nian Dasha would actually agree to it even if it¡¯s fifty yuan, because he would write down the items he purchased for more than fifty yuan in a small book.  However, seeing how Chu Chen didn't care at all when he took out 40,000 yuan, he felt that Chu Chen was also a wealthy owner, and of course he would have to spend more money on such a person.  Chu Chen frowned and said: "My money was not stolen. You can actually ask for three hundred for Xiuyu's things. You really think I'm a stick! The maximum is eighty. If it doesn't work, forget it!" Look  Seeing Chu Chen's resolute look, Nian Dasha slapped his lips together, thinking that Xiuyu had a lot of things, so he agreed with a smile.  To avoid a long night of nightmares, Chu Chen paid the money directly and then put the things back into his bag.  Nian Dasha saw that Chu Chen and his performance seemed a little anxious, and felt something was wrong. However, at this moment, Chu Chen, who was standing in front of him, looked behind him and let out a light sigh, which immediately interrupted him.  thinking, and quickly looked behind him.  There was an ordinary wooden statue beside Nian Dasha. Because it was placed behind the door, it could only be seen when tilted, so when everyone walked in just now, they didn't pay attention.  This statue didn¡¯t look like anything special. The reason why Chu Chen found it strange was that the image of this wooden statue did not coincide with the many statues in his memory. ?You must know that Chu Chen has a photographic memory. The information he has read now can be said to be diverse. He can clearly remember the images of ancient statues as long as they are mentioned in books.  Just like that, there was a statue that he didn't recognize. How could he not be surprised?  Chu Chen stepped forward and found that the statue was dressed like an ancient craftsman. In other words, this statue was probably carved to commemorate a certain craftsman. This also explained why this statue had no seal.  Like the reason.  The material of the statue is also made of very ordinary wood. Because of its age, small cracks can be seen everywhere on the surface of the statue.  Originally, if this statue was just like this, Chu Chen would not pay attention to it anymore, but the other two characteristics of the statue still made him feel that this statue was quite extraordinary.  First of all, after the statue was completed, the lacquer gilding process was used. Although after the baptism of time, most of the gilt on the statue has fallen off, but at that time, for a statue of nearly 90 centimeters in height,  The gold gilding cost a lot, which also shows how much people valued this statue at that time.  Secondly, the carving craftsmanship of this statue is also quite extraordinary. The face is lifelike, the clothing lines are smooth, the sculpting technique is skillful and sophisticated, there are no traces of knives and axes, and it looks delicate and expressive. It belongs to the style of statues of the Han Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty.  It can be said that it is not inferior to the carver who carved the Buddha statue just now.  Therefore, although the material of this statue is ordinary, in terms of these two aspects of details, it appears to be quite extraordinary, which made Chu Chen immediately interested.  Nian Dasha was extremely happy when he saw that Chu Chen was interested in this wooden statue.  This wooden statue was an object he received when he came out of prison and first arrived in Aurous Hill.  At that time, he didn¡¯t know what kind of statue it was, but he knew that it was very old-fashioned and thought it should be a good thing, so he received it from the owner for two hundred yuan.  Originally, Nian Dasha wanted to make the first pot of gold from this wooden statue. Unexpectedly, the reality turned out to be very cruel. Many people who had seen the statue did not buy it. Firstly, it was because no one knew what the wooden statue represented.  Who is it? Secondly, it is also because the material used in the statue is too ordinary.  Although people who came to see the statue in the same year thought it was not too late, because of these two points, the price everyone offered was not high, hovering around two hundred.  Although Nian Dasha bought this statue for two hundred yuan, he would have sold it at that time as long as he did not make a loss. But the key point is that he also spent a sum of money to transport this thing back. In this way,  , the two hundred yuan must have been a loss, so he gritted his teeth and didn't sell it, and the result has been until now.  Now, since Chu Chen has taken a liking to this thing, Nian Dasha feels that no matter what, the other party can't offer only two hundred. Maybe he can not only get his money back, but also make a small profit. How can he not feel happy about this?  ?  So, when Chu Chen withdrew his gaze, Nian Dasha quickly stepped forward and asked, "Boss Chu, are you interested in this statue?" Chu Chen nodded and said straightforwardly: "Yes, I don't know what you want, Boss Nian."  How much do you want to give up? However, I explained in advance that the material of this statue is not good. If the price is too expensive, then forget it. " "If the material is good, it will still be your turn!" Nian Dasha muttered to himself,  Then he thought about it, stretched out two fingers and said, "This is the number!" "Twenty?" Chu Chen teased him.  "How can it be twenty!" Nian Dasha said with a bitter smile: "If you want it, two thousand!" Chu Chen looked at the other party with a half-smile but said, "I hate it when others use me as a mallet. Since  If you ask me this price, boss Nian, forget it!¡± After saying that, he shrugged and was about to leave to find something else.  This statue was already a problem for Nian Dasha. He quickly stopped Chu Chen, nodded and bowed and said: "Boss Chu, I have never seen money. Don't be the same as me. Let's do it!"  "Thousand, what do you think?" "One thousand is too expensive!" Chu Chen shook his head.  Nian Dasha said with a bitter face: "Boss Chu, to tell you the truth, I bought this statue and it cost several hundred including the shipping fee. Please let me make a little profit! I will give you a 10% discount."  "How about it?" Chu Chen chuckled and said, "To be honest, I like to collect some rare things. I just think that I have never seen the statue of the Lord before, so I plan to buy it and study it.  How about the statue? I think you should know that if it is good, there won't be a thick layer of dust on it." Nian Dasha smiled and said, "How much do you think it should be?""Six hundred, I think that's about it!" Chu Chen gestured.  Nian Dasha said with a slightly exaggerated expression: "My boss Chu, I will lose even 600 yuan! Eight hundred, this ancient statue of 800 is yours!" Chu Chen thought for a while and said  : "Then I'll take a step back, six hundred and six hundred and six hundred and sixty-six dollars at most!" Nian Dasha thought about it and felt that although the price was not as expected, it was still acceptable, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Okay then.  Well, I¡¯ll leave it to you!¡± (To be continued)
