Chapter 322 Old Trade Beads

Yu Shan had known for a long time that you should not be greedy for cheap things in the antique market. You must pay attention to being too cheap, because none of those antique vendors are fools. The reason why they are cheap is probably not a mistake, but a pitfall.

The current market price of ordinary beeswax is at least 200 yuan/gram. Some exquisite beeswax carvings carved by the chicken oil master have exceeded 1,000 yuan/gram. If the seller originally offered 2,000 yuan, you should be more careful at this time. Expensiveness and cheapness are related to the seller's profits. If you don't make money, how can others sell it to you?

Therefore, don’t always fantasize about having the mentality of “picking up bargains”. “picking up bargains” requires rich knowledge and experience. If you can’t see it, it only means that you lack vision, not others are mistaken.

For any collectible, seeing more and buying less is always a motto worth remembering.

Ivy said with some emotion: "Looking more is the best way to gain knowledge and experience. At the same time, you also need to learn more, learn more, and compare more. Don't get angry and be moved by the few words of those fake merchants. Once the money is paid, the result will never be returned."

Yu Shan was speechless this time. Although he seemed to have been deceived, the loss was really not big, only ten yuan. That boss was not so professional, right?

After a moment of silence, Yu Shan spoke, "I know someone who knows what he knows and opens a shop not far away."

"That's good! Why don't we do it and communicate?" Ivy was not embarrassed at all, but was eager to appreciate it together.

Although he didn't think about trouble with Artemisia quinoa, he had already said that Yu Shan just pulled down and asked Artemisia quinoa for help.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment between the two sides, Yu Shan said without saying a word: "This year is a bit special! Why is it the New Year now? There are so many people entering the mountain?"

Walking in front of the red gate, Yu Shan could clearly see that many people were hurriedly entering the mountain, and the atmosphere was a bit wrong.

Originally, Yu Shan said it out loud. Now when I think about it, it is indeed not true.

Ivy was even more wrong. His face twitched twice before saying, "These people are crazy. It's not a good thing to run into the mountains at this time."

Yu Shan was stunned. He didn't expect Ivy to answer his question, and what does he mean now?

Yu Shan wanted to continue asking, but after looking at the Ivy, he found that he had no intention of continuing to speak. Yu Shan could only continue to move forward silently.

At this time, Yu Shan had already opened his eyes. He looked at the tourists who had entered him. Only then did he realize that these people were all stronger by ordinary people.

At this time, Yu Shan realized that there seemed to be something in the mountains that had not been finished. It was not as he imagined that after the Fan Cliff had a master, the whole thing was settled.

The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts and walked out of the antique market. They went straight into the shop of the Artemisia quinoa, and the shop was drinking tea.

"Ha, rare guests! Mr. Chang, you still have a day to walk into my shop." The quinoa was happy when he saw the Ivy.

Evergreen smiled and said, "Who am I talking about it? It turns out that it is you, the fox girl. How about it? How many good things have you fooled me, a little brother?"

"Fair trading! How can it be said to be a fool? Yu Shan, I really didn't expect that you knew Old Man Chang. I wouldn't have come forward if you knew him. I wouldn't have come forward. I will buy medicinal materials in the future and find him." The citrus citrus was contrary to the coldness of the past and was very enthusiastic at this time.

Yu Shan looked a little wrong, but he couldn't say that he was really fooled by the Artemisia quinoa, right?

In fact, since he learned that the essence of wood is beeswax and the magic glue is mercury. Yu Shan realized that he had been fooled, but the transaction had been completed and it was too late to say anything, so he didn't mention it, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the market to look for old beeswax.

Yu Shan just wanted to determine the price of old beeswax and determine how much money he earned by quinoa.

I didn't want to see Artemisia quinoa, but now there is nothing I can do. The old man, Ivy, could not judge what quality beeswax beads he bought. This requires a real expert to identify them.

"Xiao Yu bought a string of beeswax beads and let you identify them. I looked so perfect, so I was a little unsure. You are playing with miscellaneous things, so let's take a good look." Ivy said.

The quinoa looked at Yu Shan and found that Yu Shan's face was tense. He immediately held back his smile and said, "Beeswax! This is a good thing, and it is easy to identify this. As long as you understand the classification of beeswax, it is not difficult to identify beeswax. For example, chicken oil yellow beeswax refers to beeswax that is as bright as a layer of chicken oil, which is the best among beeswax.

Half amber and half honey, the best one is like the legendary egg white protein. The honey inside is clearly distinguished and is a rare collection. Jinfu honey is a combination of honey and amber, and belongs to the medium-grade beeswax level. White honey is also called fragrant amber. Because of its unique fragrance, white honey has been sought after by everyone in recent years, and the price has risen all the way, which is very rare.

These classifications of beeswax are just pure conceptual knowledge. In reality, we should learn more, learn more, read more, compare more, combine theory with practice. As long as we have read it once, no one will admit his mistake."

As she said, she took the beeswax bracelet handed over by Yu Shan. As soon as she got it, she felt something was wrong.

"Because some jade jewelry I bought in that store before was very good, I relaxed my vigilance when buying beeswax," said Ivy.

As Ivy was talking, I saw the quinoa holding a flashlight and shining it with a strong light. Seeing this situation, whether it was Ivy or Yu Shan, I felt a secretly complaining.

At this time, I was really sure that neither of them was professional, and professionals were like Artemisia quinoa. They always held a small flashlight and took photos of everything they saw. This is professional.

"It's broken, I bought recycled beeswax. I said what was wrong!" Ivy felt embarrassed.

But Yu Shan didn't care. He felt that he had really gained knowledge this time. It turned out that there was a saying that beewax was regenerated.

There is agarwood that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and agarwood that is produced by agarwood. It seems that even if you open the eyes of the sky and see some things that others cannot see, you cannot think that you can definitely find a gap on Taobao.

"I did buy 'recycled beeswax'. I know what recycled beeswax is? The ingredients of recycled beeswax are actually also beeswax, which are just made of hot melt and solidified by beeswax powder and crushed beeswax.

Although in some sense some people would call the secondary synthetic recycled beeswax, noble beeswax, and snow-mounted waxes as beeswax, for me, I only like natural beeswax without human intervention." The quinoa smiled and returned the beads to Yu Shan.

Yu Shan naturally understood what she meant. Only real natural beeswax is valuable, while others are all fakes.

Evergreen looked at it and sighed, "It's really like a mountain. It's really easy to distinguish between natural beeswax and recycled beeswax. Just use strong light to see the texture. I was just negligent, didn't look at the texture, and was deceived by the appearance! I took the medicine."

Wei Lihua smiled and said, "Where do we have any shoes that are wet when we are standing by the river? Do you still want to see Yushan? This is the texture under strong light, and there are recycled beeswax specimens on the Internet. As long as you know it, you will be clear after comparison. Look at this, the real natural beeswax texture is cloud-shaped, and it is definitely not a silk feather-shaped stirring state. This is a natural old beeswax texture."

I don’t know when, I actually wore a string of chicken oil-yellow beads on the wrist of Artemisia quinoa. I stepped down at this time, just for Yu Shan to see it.

"As for the so-called 'noble beeswax' of plastic resin and the so-called 'cracked old beeswax', I won't say anything about it. As long as I have the intention, I will take some pictures from the Internet and read it myself! There is no need to read this kind of open-cut style, it's a blast!" As the quinoa spoke, a little disdain came out of her expression.

Yu Shan smiled bitterly in his heart. He was really capable, but after reading a little information, he went to Taobao on the street. He was really a little bit of a newborn calf and was not afraid of a tiger.

It’s no wonder that someone else can be blamed for being greedy at this time.

Yu Shan opened the newspaper on the table a little discouragedly, picked out all the beads inside, and only retained the jade ornaments.

"Since you are embarrassed, Sister Li, please give me some advice and see what these strings of beads are." Yu Shan threw down the jar. Since he had taken medicine, he fell down and grabbed the sand. It was also good to learn the identification knowledge of beeswax.

"Haha, you're all this. This string is golden honey. I just said this. However, yours is fake. In fact, it is stirred by hot melt. As for what material it is stirred, you can use various resins, plastics and other synthetic materials according to the price."

"Hey, although this string is plastic beads, the patina is good, the old patina." The quinoa kept identifying, and even though he didn't see a string of beads, he would laugh at Yu Shan.

Yu Shan was hit several times, but it doesn't matter. After all, he doesn't even count on getting started, so it's normal to embarrass him.

Now that I heard the old patina plastic beads, not only Yu Shan was strange, but Ivy also asked strangely: "Are you saying that these plastic beads are old?"

After looking carefully for a while, he said, "I didn't expect there was really good stuff. Although it was not worth a lot of money, it was rare to be able to buy plastic beads from more than a hundred years ago."

"Plastic beads from more than a hundred years ago? Did there be plastic at that time?" Yu Shan asked in surprise.

Evergreen said without believing it: "Fox, don't lie to me. Although I am a little educated, it is not that easy to lie to me."

Artemisia chuckled and said, "What's wrong? It's strange? Plastic beads can't last 100 years? More than 100 years ago, European colonists made a large number of plastic beads to Africa for resources. This is the historically known as the "trading beads".

100 years later, these 'extremely precious' very old plastic beads flowed back to European antique shops and sold to Europeans at a price that is expensive! Have you never heard of it? This string should be one of them."
