"This White Jade Guan Yin should be from the Ming Dynasty. The carving technique is exquisite and has the unique style of the northern region. It's extremely rare. You've struck it rich." Yang Bo said.
Hu Yaoloong was surprised, then laughed out loud: "I never thought that he would tell me that he was at the middle stage of the Qing Dynasty, so it turns out that he was from the Ming Dynasty.
As they spoke, Hu Yaoloong placed the Brocade Box on the table, and smiled brilliantly, "I have kept a piece of jade for many years, what do you think?"
Yang Bo did not hold back and when he opened up the Brocade Box, he saw a fist-sized Fine White Tallow Jade in the box. The jade was warm and exquisite, sparkling and translucent, it was a rare good material!
Yang Bo stared at the jade for a long time as he tried to guess what kind of theme he should be carving in order to gift it to his as a birthday present.
After a long while, Yang Bo finally regained his senses, he raised his head and looked at Hu Yaoloong, "Do you still have any other jade materials on hand?"
Hu Yaoloong stared at Yang Bo in shock, "You're not satisfied?"
"No, no!" Yang Bo shook his head, "Perhaps it's because my skills are limited. After obtaining this piece of material, I keep feeling that I don't have the ability to fully display the advantages of this piece of jade."
Hu Yaoloong looked at Yang Bo, "Alright, then let's change it."
With that, Hu Yaoloong took the jade and left. He knew that some sculptors had special hobbies and would pay attention to jade, so he did not care.
Very quickly, Hu Yaoloong took out the second piece of ingredients.
The second piece was Hetian Yellow Jade. This piece of jade was only the size of a seal. The color of the jade was like amber. Although it wasn't transparent, it still looked very luxurious.
Hu Yaoloong pointed to Huang Yu and said: "This is the best Huang Yu from He Tian Mountain. My countrymen respect Huang Yu, I accidentally found this material twenty years ago on He Tian Mountain."
Yang Bo looked at it and nodded, "This piece of material can be considered top quality!"
"I can carve a Coiling Dragon seal." Hu Yaoloong said.
Yang Bo stared at Huang Yu and shook his head: "I'm not good at seals, I'm afraid it's not suitable."
This time, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Yang Bo, "Come with me to the study room and take a look at the other collections?"
Yang Bo turned his head over and hesitated slightly, "Is that alright?"
"Sure." Hu Yaoloong said, "Jades is a small matter, no matter what, if you can change Qing Qing's mind, even if you give me all of your wealth, I would not care."
Yang Bo lifted his head to look, and naturally understood that Hu Yaoloong was hinting at something, but he was unwilling to accept these words.
Hu Yaoloong was disappointed, but he still led Yang Bo upstairs.
Very quickly, Yang Bo followed Hu Yaoloong into the study. On the bookshelf in the northeast corner of the study, Yang Bo saw several jade pieces.
Yang Bo was shocked and looked towards Hu Yaoloong, "You have done the jade business before, I'm afraid it won't be for a short period of time, right?"
When I first came in contact with the jade, the price was not very high with Tian Yu. At that time, the good materials were only worth a few hundred yuan per ton, and I had quite a lot of materials stored up. Hu Yaoloong explained.
Yang Bo remembered that he had heard of Hu Yaoloong's deeds when he first became rich, and then asked: "Are you still hoarding wood?"
"Yes, you're used to doing this sort of business. It's profitable, so you can do it." Hu Yaoloong said.
Yang Bo said that, but his eyes did not land on it. He stared at the jade for a long time, and finally chose a slightly smaller piece of material, "Forget it, I will carving a birthday present."
Hu Yaoloong laughed, "No matter what you're carving, the elders will always be happy!"
"Thank you for your blessings!" Yang Bo said.
Yang Bo picked the ingredients, and just as he was about to ask for the price, he did not expect Hu Yaoloong to already think of this. He signalled to Yang Bo, "Wait a moment, help me look at something else!"
With that, Hu Yaoloong turned and walked over. Very quickly, he took out a green flower pattern large plate from the safe, he smiled at Yang Bo: "You chose a piece of material, I cannot lose out, help me look at this large plate, we are even!"
Yang Bo looked at the big plate. He was very clear, this piece of jade would cost at least three hundred thousand gold, and appraising a piece of porcelain would not take too much effort. This was clearly Hu Yaoloong purposely trying to be friendly with him.
Yang Bo picked up the big plate and started observing it carefully. The bottom of the big plate was filled with the words "Great Qing Qianlong Year System", written in calligraphy.
A light flashed before his eyes and very quickly, a halo formed on the large plate. Yang Bo took a look and finally confirmed it.
After hesitating for a bit, Yang Bo looked at Hu Yaoloong, "Since Mister Hu has obtained this information, then you should naturally be clear about the origins of this large plate!"
Hu Yaoloong slightly hesitated, but still nodded: "I had previously asked an appraiser to appraise it, so this large plate is the annual set of Qianlong s?"
Yang Bo shook his head, "This large plate should have been burned during the period of the Republic of China. Does Mister Hu know of a place called the Moon's Xin Zhai during the period of the Republic of China?"
"Lunar Sisters?" Hu Yaoloong was a little confused.
Yang Bo hurriedly explained, "During the Republic of China, there was a place that was able to imitate most of the porcelain that was burned in the world, but because of the uneven distribution, this place disappeared very quickly. Even though this place only appeared for more than half a year and disappeared, there was still a small portion of people who remembered this place."
"What Mr Yang means is, this platter was created by the Moon Sing Temple?" Hu Yaoloong was a little surprised.
Yang Bo nodded, "Precisely so."
"How do you know?" Hu Yaoloong still felt that it was hard to believe.
Yang Bo smiled, he picked up the Winding Disk, and pointed at the pattern on the side: "Look here."
Hu Yaoloong looked carefully and saw that there was a spot on the side of the huge plate that had two intertwined branches and flowers, forming the shape of a crescent moon. If this crescent moon could be considered as a coincidence, then the word "letter" formed by the "Twisted branch and flower" at the side could not help but be trusted!
Hu Yaoloong was shocked, he had to react after a long while, "There is actually such a place under the heavens, luckily the place did not exist for long, otherwise it would be a disaster!"
Yang Bo nodded his head, "That is indeed the case, for a plate like Mr Hu, if it was an ordinary person, they would not be able to see the difference!"
Very quickly, Yang Bo left with the white jade. He needed to carve the jade as soon as possible.
