The lettering on the note is a line of calligraphy, and the three words "Zhou Zhiruo" are not very difficult to recognize at first glance, and because "Zhou Zhiruo" is so familiar, it will come out all of a sudden.

However, after careful examination, Wu Duo found that there were scratches and wear on the word "if", especially the upper part of the wear was more serious.

There is wear in the middle of the cursive prefix, but on both sides of the wear, it can be seen that there are horizontal and two vertical.

At the same time, under the cursive prefix, there is also a pit, which is the place where the "pit" comes out of the "right" word.

"Zhou" and "Zhi" must be fine, the problem is on this "if".

Wu Duo gently rubbed it with his hand a few times, and found that the pit in the middle of "Ruo" was not engraved, and there should have been no nick here, because it was extremely incoherent with the apostrophe below.

Could it be a "stone" below?

But Wu Duo didn't know what words there were, with a cursive prefix on the top and a stone below.

Wu Duo couldn't help but shake his head slightly, let's listen to it.

At this time, seeing Wu Duo shaking her head, the female clerk's heart sank for a moment, and she said: Yes, I won't want it again!

The shopkeeper Sun Hong couldn't help but step forward and smiled, "I thought Mr. Xiao Wu had taken a fancy to the plate above!"

In fact, this pen holder, which is placed under a plate, acts as a "stand".

But Wu Duo's attention was on the "bamboo and stone map", so he didn't pay too much attention to the plate.

After hearing this, Wu Duo replied, "Put the pen holder here first, then let's take a look at that plate!"

Sun Hong couldn't help but feel a little proud, even if you have high eyesight, but these routines in the antique shop, can I still not be clear?

This plate is a Guangxu blue and white lotus pattern plate. It is indeed an official kiln, but there is a small collapse on the edge of the plate, and there are two thin glazes in the center of the plate.

This is not a big problem, but there must be a discount in the price, so Wu Duo asked the price after a little bit.

Wu Duo pointed out, and Sun Hong did not shy away from it, "If it is a full product, this is a hundred thousand things." As I just said, Mr. Xiao Wu will definitely give the lowest discount for what he likes, I will come to this plate for 50,000, add 10,000, 60,000, and when I make a profit. ”

Assuming that he really comes for 50,000 and sells for 60,000, that is 20% of the profit. Twenty percent of the profit, in the antique shop, is indeed to make a shout.

As the old saying goes, grain and cloth are very profitable, Chinese medicine pawnshops are 100% profitable, and antique calligraphy and painting are 1000% profitable; now that the market has become more open, the antique shop is still a special trade. The thousand-point profit is a bit exaggerated, and it has to be picked up, but even if it is a normal transaction, for the businessman, it is often indispensable to have a 100% profit.

However, he said that 50,000 came may not be true.

And this plate, even if it is a complete product, is not something of 100,000, it is originally something of 50,000 or 60,000. But the problem is that this plate is not a complete product, and 50,000 is considered to be the top.

Between Sun Hong's words, it is all a fool and a trap.

"I wanted to take it together, because this plate is on the pen holder, not to mention, it looks good. Wu Duo smiled, "What if you take this tube alone?"

"This cylinder is also an old object of the Qianlong Dynasty, a good bamboo carved pen holder, more expensive than the Guangxu official kiln! The bamboo carved pen holder of Jiading Sanzhu in the Ming Dynasty, that is a few million things!" Sun Hong said.

The bamboo carved pen holder, the material itself is worthless, the value is all in the author, all in the artistic level. For example, Sun Hong just said that the works of Jiading Sanzhu in the Ming Dynasty are worth millions, but the things of ordinary craftsmen in the same period may not even be able to hang 10,000 words.

Jiading (now part of Shanghai) is the most popular place for bamboo carving in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Jiading bamboo carving is also the most famous first bamboo carving school in history.

The so-called three Zhu is the Ming Dynasty Zhengde to Jiajing period, Jiading's ancestors and grandchildren three generations of bamboo carving masters: Zhu He, Zhu Ying, Zhu Zhizheng;

In particular, Zhu Zhizheng carried forward the bamboo carving in Jiading, and a large number of apprentices appeared, and the reputation was far and wide;

"Boss Sun, I really haven't heard that there was a famous bamboo carver named Zhou Zhiruo in the Qianlong Dynasty. Wu Duo had already "heard" and understood just now, and he also felt that Sun Hong didn't realize the value of this bamboo carved pen holder at all.

In Sun Hong's shop, although the things are very miscellaneous, he is still relatively good at porcelain and jade, and he can't say that he doesn't understand other things, but he is also a skin. Moreover, this tube was brought by the receiver, and he didn't take it seriously.

The most important thing is that he always thinks that Wu Duo has taken a fancy to the plate, but he took the pen holder on the side to talk about something.

"During the Qianlong period, all kinds of handicrafts were very prosperous; it was normal to meet unknown bamboo carvers! This name is good, very charming, maybe she is really a female carver! As for the same name as later martial arts figures, it is not unusual. ”

"Since it's unknown, then give this pen holder the lowest price, right?"

"Mr. Xiao Wu, let's stop the ink, I'm the happiest, in this way, don't you like this pen holder as a shelf? If you buy this plate, I'll give you the pen holder!"

Wu Duo groaned slightly.

He thought to himself, if he didn't want a plate and insisted on buying a pen holder alone, don't be surprised by this Boss Sun!

Now Sun Hong should think that he wants a plate but borrows a pen holder to talk about things.

"Boss Sun, the key is that the price of your plate is too high, I think, it is twenty or thirty thousand things. ”

"Isn't it funny? This is an official kiln! The official kiln of the Qing Dynasty is very strong today, because it is difficult to touch it on the market if it goes forward! You buy this plate for 60,000 yuan, and I guarantee that you will turn it over within five years!"

"Thirty thousand, by the way, take a pen holder. ”

"I'm a person, I admire the eye-catching! So, I don't make your money anymore, 50,000, let's make friends!"

Sun Hong called for 50,000, and Wu Duo then spoke again, but he couldn't talk about it.

At this time, there were two more customers in the store, Wu Duo took a look, yes, take it!

The payment was cleared, Wu Duo put the two brocade boxes containing the plate and the pen holder into a plastic bag, carried it and continued to look at it, and then did not see anything agreeable, so he said goodbye and went out of Honggu Zhai.

50,000 yuan bought this plate, which cannot be said to be a loss, but it is also expensive.

But with this pen holder, you can make a lot of money!

Zhou Zhiruo is not Zhou Zhiruo, but should be Zhou Zhiyan!

Zhou Hao, the word Jinzhan, the number Zhiyan, was born in the Kangxi period, died in the Qianlong period, the Qing Dynasty Jiading school bamboo carving master.

If the most famous bamboo carving master of the Ming Dynasty is the first to recommend Sanzhu, then in the Qing Dynasty, the master-level figures, there are Wu Zhifan in the front, and Zhou Zhiyan in the back, the most prestigious.

Moreover, Zhou Zhiyan is good at painting bamboo, and his bamboo carving works, with bamboo, are often worth a higher level.

However, Wu Duo only knew about the three Zhu of Jiading in the Ming Dynasty, and even heard of Wu Zhifan, the first bamboo carving master in Jiading after the three Zhu, but he didn't know Zhou Zhiyan, otherwise he wouldn't have wondered for "Zhou Zhiruo" for a long time.

After all, bamboo carving is a small item in antiques.

Fortunately, Sun Hong didn't know.

However, what Wu Duo "heard", in addition to the year and Zhou Zhiyan's name, there is also a sentence: more than 200 years, second to none!

In other words, from Zhou Zhiyan onwards, in the past two hundred years or so, he has the highest level!

In that case, even if you haven't heard of it before, you have to take it without hesitation!
