Chapter 25: The plum bottle is silent
Wu Duo heard Zhang Lao say "return" to Daya Zhai, instead of "going" to Daya Zhai, so he understood that Daya Zhai should be the shop under Zhang Chengjin's name.
And it seems that Zhang Chengjin may not go often, and there should be someone in charge.
Wu Duo will definitely not refuse such an opportunity.
He originally wanted to have the opportunity to go to Dongshan Antique City to further verify it. The good things of Dongshan Antique City can be higher than the Chixia Mountain Antique Market, and this Daya Zhai is one of the best.
"I'm afraid that I will bother Zhang Lao too much. ”
"The Tibetan friends of the world are one family, and I haven't communicated with a young person like Xiao Wu for a long time. Zhang Chengjin said, and looked at Lao Pan again, "Is Director Pan interested?"
Lao Pan is a smart person, if Zhang Chengjin invited the two of them together at the beginning, he would definitely agree, but Zhang Chengjin first said it to Wu Duo alone, and then came to ask him, here, it is mainly polite.
"I want to go too, but Mr. Chen said at the meeting yesterday that he will continue this afternoon. Why don't you ask for a leave of absence?"
"Business is important, then you are busy with yours, and we have a chance to have tea together. Zhang Chengjin nodded, "Yongjun is indeed a talent, your board of directors hired him as the general manager, he is very visionary!"
The general manager of Qixiang Pawnshop, named Chen Yongjun, Wu Duo was only a probationary staff member before, and he hadn't seen it a few times, but his impression was not bad, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
When leaving, Wu Duo gave Lao Pan a look, "Let's talk about Director Pan later." ”
Lao Pan understood in his heart, and he knew that Wu Duo was talking about what he promised to give him three percent before. It's just that Wu Duo can't transfer money to him in front of Zhang Lao.
Assistant Li drove, Wu Duo sat in the co-pilot at his signal, and Zhang Lao sat in the back seat.
Zhang Lao's car is a black Audi A8, calm and solemn, slightly low-key.
Wu Duo had been to Dongshan Antique City before, but he had never entered Daya Zhai.
This time, he had Zhang Chengjin with him, and he said that he could take a good look at the boutiques.
When I arrived at the door of the store, Hu Yunde, the person in charge of Daya Zhai, was already waiting at the door.
Hu Yunde is already in the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and Daya Zhai is not only a storefront, but also a "venue". In fact, he is responsible for many businesses related to antiques under the name of Zhang Lao, and he can be called his right-hand man.
Listening to Zhang Lao's introduction of Wu Duo, Hu Yunde was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Mr. Wu, I am fortunate to meet you." ”
Wu Duo said politely, saying that he was here to learn from Zhang Lao.
After entering the store, Zhang Chengjin first took Wu Duo straight to the center of the store's lobby, where there was a column-like glass display case with a piece of porcelain on display.
Wu Duo fixed his eyes and looked at it, isn't this also Yuan Qinghua?
Yuan blue and white cloud dragon pattern plum bottle!
"Xiao Wu, take a look, this Cloud Dragon Pattern Plum Vase and Cloud Dragon Pattern Goblet, do they have the feeling of a complete set?" Zhang Chengjin said with a smile.
This "set" is a joke, but the earliest plum bottle, that is, the wine bottle.
It became popular in the Song Dynasty, and it was called the Sutra bottle at that time. Because the Song Dynasty royal family had a so-called lecture system, they couldn't do it, and they had to get a banquet when they were done, and the shape of the wine bottle on the banquet was this kind of plum bottle. Hence the name Sutra Bottle.
By the Ming Dynasty, the ornamental value of the plum vase was far greater than the practicality. The name from the warp bottle to the plum bottle also reflects this.
These two pieces of Yuan blue and white, a wine bottle and a wine glass, are a complete set.
The plum bottle is known as the first porcelain shape in China, and basically the well-known kiln mouth has been fired, so don't say that Wu Duo, but whoever likes porcelain a little, there is no one who doesn't know the plum bottle.
At the same time, the plum vases of the Yuan Dynasty are generally relatively large, and the plum vase style of the later Ming and Qing dynasties is still easy to distinguish.
"It complements each other!" Wu Duo looked at the plum bottle in the glass case, and said in his heart that this one is much more valuable than my tall cup!
Zhang Chengjin saw that Wu Duo had been staring, and asked with a smile, "What?
"Is this appropriate?"
"Since you are here, and you have the fate of the goblet, let's appreciate it. After Zhang Chengjin finished speaking to Wu Duo, he nodded at Hu Yunde and motioned for him to open the lock.
"I'll go wash my hands again. Wu Duo hurriedly said.
There are people who believe that connoisseurs of porcelain cannot wear gloves and are easy to slip. In fact, there are some situations that need to be worn.
One of the most common situations is when someone doesn't like their things being touched directly? What can they do? Wear gloves and be careful.
Although Zhang Chengjin let Wu Duo get started, Wu Duo and him are new acquaintances after all, so they have to talk about some etiquette; Originally, Wu Duo wanted a pair of gloves, but if he handled them lightly in the display case, he would definitely not be able to fall.
However, he wanted to "identify" directly with the middle finger of his left hand, so he compromised and said to wash his hands first.
Zhang Chengjin smiled, "It's up to you." However, the store also needs to be wiped regularly. ”
After Wu grabbed his hands, he first appreciated it with his meager eyesight.
The flint red at the bottom of the tire is very natural, the fat glaze is slightly blue, the blue and white hair color is blue and bright, the traces of rust spots are obvious, and the painting of the dragon pattern is vigorous and smooth······ Everywhere is in line with the typical characteristics of Yuan blue and white.
In the end, Wu Duocai put the middle finger of his left hand on the plum bottle.
Well?
No sound?!
This ······
Wu Duo took a deep breath, carefully placed the plum bottle in the display case, and then pasted it with the middle finger of his left hand again.
Of course, Zhang Lao was next to him, and when he did this action, his body was cooperative, and he looked like he was seriously scrutinizing.
However, after sticking to it for a full minute, my mind kept starting to think, but there was still no sound!
What's going on?!
If you refer to the existing experience, then this thing is a complete imitation! And it is not even an old imitation, not as old as Wu Duo's twenties!
Wu Duo finally withdrew his finger.
"What's wrong, Xiao Wu?" asked Zhang Chengjin.
Hu Yunde didn't speak, just watched quietly from the sidelines.
"Elder Zhang, let me take the liberty of asking, did you get this blue and white cloud dragon pattern plum vase from the auction?"
"It's not. Zhang Chengjin looked at Wu Duo, "Xiao Wu, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't scruple." ”
Wu Duo smiled bitterly, "I don't have enough eyesight, so I still don't talk nonsense." ”
"Didn't I let you come just to communicate? This antique, in addition to appreciation, communication can also produce great fun. ”
Wu Duo thought for a while, "Elder Zhang, then I will express my true opinion, don't laugh at me!"
"Hahahaha. Zhang Chengjin laughed, "Then I'll laugh first, and I won't laugh when you're done!"
Wu Duo didn't expect Zhang Chengjin to be a little humorous, and then said: "Old Zhang, I think this blue and white cloud dragon pattern plum bottle can't reach the yuan!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Lao's face changed slightly. Hu Yunde showed a surprised expression.
