Eyes open to the money in the city

Chapter 232 deceive yourself
The alchemy furnace is the legendary Taoist alchemy vessel.

Alchemy stove.Tang Wangji's "Ode to Beishan": "Wipe the alchemy furnace to adjust the stone marrow, and take the emerald cauldron to produce the gold essence." Song Luyou's poem "Send to Qiongzhou Song Taoist": "Looking at Linqiong in the west, the green pine is exhausted and the alchemy furnace is cold. "Volume [-] of "Surprise at the First Engraving": "This room must be a pill furnace. I am afraid that I will offend it, and I will regret it." Qing "Suizhou Chronicles? Fuxiang Pavilion Anecdote Quatrain? Yuan Shi (Yuan Keli) Lu Garden" :"The song of golden strands is finally withdrawn, and the Lupan Dan furnace is almost moved."
It can be seen that the ancients respected and cherished the alchemy furnace.

Because of this, there is no record of the sale of the pill furnace over the years.

The alchemy stove that Populus euphratica received has a ring on the cover, two ears beside the ring, and three legs below.It is in line with the Taoist theory: "One life is two, two is three, and three is all things."

After being reminded by Hu Yang, these people suddenly woke up...

Qiu Chengze asked: "Hu Yang, how did you know it was from the pill furnace at a glance?"

Hu Yang naturally wouldn't say that everything else has a price, but this guy has a question mark on it.

"Haven't you ever stayed in the countryside? The earthen stoves and pots in the countryside are all dilapidated and uneven. It's left over from cooking for a long time. This is also the case under this tripod. Besides, who has seen this? A bronze vessel. Are there mysterious carvings on it?"

"Carve pattern?" Xia Zongliu asked, "What is that?"

Hu Yang said: "That's a Taoist talisman. It's similar to the talismans used in novels to catch ghosts and destroy evil spirits. It is said that carving specific talismans on the alchemy furnace can keep the temperature of the furnace fire from leaking too much. According to the legend , a real master of alchemy, puts the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace to refine them, and the elixir can be made naturally. Unlike the pills we use in cash, they are all rubbed out by hand."

"I thought those were just legends, could it be true?" Xia Zongliu murmured.

Hu Yang said with a smile: "I don't know if it's true or not, so this thing is not considered a leak. It's just that it's rare, so I'll collect it."

In fact, after Hu Yang obtained the inherited memories of Ge Hong's two disciples, he certainly knew that these were true.

Refining the elixir of immortality is nonsense, but there are real things about the first-class healing and health-preserving elixir.

Populus euphratica, who has read many ancient classics, is convinced that the ancient martial arts schools have their own prescriptions, but they have the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life.

He already knew a lot of alchemy recipes and refining methods before, what he lacked was a alchemy furnace that could make alchemy.

Unexpectedly, let him meet today.

Not to mention 15, even if the boss doesn't counter-offer and asks for 80, Hu Yang will give it...

Qiu Chengze said with a smile: "You, it's just that you don't mean what you say. Antiques are the rarer they are, the more valuable they are. I think you must have made a fortune in silence again, little guy."

Hearing what Qiu Chengze said, Su Wanying's eyes shone with the same brilliance. "Pupulus euphratica, can I part with this thing?"

Hu Yang shook his head, "No!"

"Why?" Su Wanying raised her mouth, pretending to be an innocent little girl.

Hu Yang, who knew her details well, couldn't help curling her lips...

"You don't know what this thing is for, and you don't know its true value. What's the use of coming?"

Su Wanying said indignantly: "Could it be that he is valuable only in your hands?"

Hu Yang nodded, "That's right! Don't forget, I have another identity as a Chinese medicine doctor."

"You mean, you can use this thing to make alchemy?" Su Wanying came to her senses.

Hu Yang nodded, "That's right."

Su Wanying said disdainfully: "I don't believe it anymore. Could it be that the elixir refined from this thing is more effective than traditional Chinese medicine purified by modern technology?"

"You are really right." Hu Yang said: "The reason why modern people rely on modern technology is that the inheritance of ancient skills has been lost. To tell you the truth, modern purification technology sounds like purification. It's a waste to say the least. Moreover, whether it can achieve the effect of increasing the efficacy of the medicine is still uncertain."

Su Wanying didn't believe in evil, and said: "Then, can you prove that the medicine produced by this pill furnace can better exert the effect of medicine?"

"This, I can really do it." Hu Yang nodded.

"That's good!" Su Wanying confronted Hu Yang. "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to go home. Why don't you perform alchemy with Master Hu when you have time?"

Hu Yang thought for a while, and said, "Alchemy, I definitely want to practice it. But why should I perform for you? Could it be that you pay the appearance fee?"

"You!" Su Wanying was speechless for a moment.After holding back for a long time, he said, "Okay! I'll give you the fare to go out of the city. Tell me a price."

Hu Yang weighed it in and said, "Okay, let's make it 15."

"The calculation is pretty good. Make a pill and earn back the pill furnace." Su Wanying said: "Well, this lady is not short of that money. Then we will all see your master Hu's methods."

Hu Yang shook his head and said, "I'm talking about 15 yuan per person."

"Huh?" Su Wanying thrust her waist and said angrily, "Why don't you grab it?"

Hu Yang waved his hand, "Would you like to see it or not! Could it be that I'm going to beg you?"

Su Wanying really wanted to say "I don't want to watch it!" However, thinking about such a fun thing as alchemy, maybe she would never have the chance to watch it once in her life. 15 is 15.Whether others like to watch it or not, I didn't say treat it.

Also stopped talking.

However, Hua Shaoqiang immediately responded: "The price is not expensive. You know, in this world, I have never heard of anyone who can make elixirs. Count me in."

"That's right!" Gan Nairen also said, "I'm one of them too. It's best to sell me another elixir that you've practiced. When I go back later, I'll have something to show off."

Qiu Chengze and Xia Zongliu, you look at me, I look at you...

"Count me in. It's fine if you don't know about this thing. If you know it, if you don't participate, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

"That's not true." Xia Zongliu also said: "It's worth 15 yuan to see this lost craftsmanship of Huaxia with my own eyes."

"Hey!" Su Wanying was so angry.

It feels like she is short of money!

……

Hu Yang called Qin San to come over and take the incense burner back first.Although with his strength, it doesn't feel too heavy to hold, but it is still a bit inconvenient.

After instructing Qin Sanhaosheng to keep it safe, Hu Yang followed everyone to continue strolling in the antique city.

After walking for a while, they saw a large number of people gathering in the distance, and they all followed to watch the fun.After all, it is very difficult to miss such a thing.

If you can't pick it up, it's not bad to see the excitement.

When they got closer, Hu Yang and the others realized that they didn't know which merchant was so talented.There was actually a poor auction here.

Even Qiu Chengze, the landlord, didn't know that there were such specialized merchants here, and he couldn't help but smile...

"Young people nowadays have flexible brains."

Xia Zongliu nodded, "Yes, we are all old." As he spoke, he glanced at Populus euphratica inadvertently.Thinking about it, I still worry about not buying Populus euphratica.

Or, thinking that he himself was a legend in his own life.Since childhood, his family was poor, and he gained a foothold in Jiangcheng through his own hard work. With not only hard work, he has achieved today's reputation and status.

However, compared with Populus euphratica, it seems that his so-called legendary life is so bleak...

Hu Yang didn't know what Xia Zongliu was thinking, so he said matter-of-factly: "The form is one aspect, the main thing is that people have real things."

Hu Yang said, everyone looked in the direction of his finger.

In the middle of the simple auction house, there is a big sign: fake one pay ten!

That's amazing.After all, in Antique Street, there are almost no people who dare to hang such a sign.No wonder it attracts so many people.

However, most of Hu Yang and his team are experts, and they can understand things just by looking at them.

They are all porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty. Although they look shiny and colorful, they are not worth a lot of money.

If it were sold at the regular price, it wouldn't be worth much.

The merchants are ingenious, and the form of holding the auction is also to let ordinary people experience the addiction of the rich.I have to say that this merchant is still really interested.

When they walked over, the sound of asking prices never stopped...

"Five thousand!"

"Five thousand one hundred!"

"Five thousand five hundred!"

……

Those who have actually been to a large auction can't help but feel amused seeing this situation.

However, these people in front of them were indeed cheering loudly, as if they were venting some emotion in their hearts.

In this kind of emotional infection, countless people are addicted to it, and people who didn't want to buy it, often don't know why, and start bidding.

One hundred and two hundred plus...

When the price of the product was called more than [-] yuan, the voice slowly stopped.

Xia Zongliu smiled and said: "Old Qiu, small businessmen often complain that business is not easy. It seems that they are still out of their minds. You can see that they do business well. They don't buy or sell by force, and they don't need to hire donkeys to solicit customers. Just satisfying people's vanity and creating an atmosphere can increase the original value several times."

Qiu Chengze nodded, "Well, they are very good at doing business, which is worth learning from. You see, their low price is actually the minimum value of the product. In this way, no one will ask the price to sell it without losing money. But yo, under the exaggeration of this atmosphere , People unknowingly shouted a price that far exceeded their own estimates, but they still enjoyed it..."

After speaking, Qiu Chengze looked at Hu Yang: "What do you think?"

Hu Yang thought for a while and said: "In addition to what the two of you said, I think there is another thing, first of all, the authenticity of the goods. Even if it is expensive, it is not fake. First of all, people's psychology has a bottom. However, the most important thing is It’s a dream come true for everyone.”

"?"

Both Qiu Chengze and Xia Zongliu looked at Hu Yang, as if they didn't understand what he said.

Hu Yang said with a smile: "It's actually very simple, just like Japanese comics, American movies, Bangzi's TV dramas and Huaguo's online articles. In this atmosphere, people unconsciously regard themselves as rich people. Only those who pay Only when you can't tell the truth..."

Everyone followed the eyes of Populus euphratica, and admired the merchant even more.

It turns out that the payment procedure is in the opposite direction of the auction.

Many people took pictures of their own auctioned goods there, under the urging of the merchants.

Those people were holding the goods in their hands, and the smiles on their faces... looked like they were crying.

Seeing this, Hu Yang and the others all burst out laughing.

After laughing for a while, he couldn't help shaking his head again.

That's the way life is, it's so funny watching other people do stupid things.In fact, they often do stupid things themselves.

Especially Gan Nairen, when he saw those people, it was like seeing himself when he bought a painting...

People are always so good at deceiving themselves.
