Chapter 139: Heavenly Mansion Zhao
In the words of Sanhe Town, Zhao Qiwu is a person who wants to come out of the way.
Sometimes I don't do what I think of every day, and sometimes I don't do it when I think of something, so I scratch my whole body, and I can't sit still with nails on my buttocks.
So early that morning, he carried a shoulder bag and gold into a small village.
It is no different from the countryside over there in Sanhe Town, Zhao Qiwu thought that he had to inquire slowly to find a craftsman, but when he found a bare-ass baby by the pond at the entrance of the village, he pointed him in the direction and asked him to find Grandpa Fang Simao.
The first thing you heard when you entered the village was a burst of barking dogs, and a puff of people running in front of him and Jinzi.
It seems that this guy Jin is still quite unpopular, and after a while, several dogs came over to pounce. But they didn't pounce, and there was no fighting.
Zhao Qiwu grabbed the gold, and soon the people from the nearby village came over to ask who he was looking for.
As soon as he heard that he was looking for Fang Simao, he helped shout for those dogs to get out of here.
And pointed him to the place again.
......
When he arrived at the place, he knocked on the door, and the middle-aged man who opened the door asked him suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"
"Is this Fang Simao's house?" Zhao Qiwu was even more puzzled, he stretched out his head and looked into the courtyard, it was a small courtyard that was quite clean, and there was nothing!
"I am. The middle-aged man nodded. "Are you here to see the bronze?"
"Yes!" Zhao Qiwu nodded.
"Then come in!" Fang Simao leaned sideways to open the door. "I saw that you were not very old, and I thought you were coming to play! You dog is so majestic, there are people in the house, you should be careful!"
"It's okay, it's okay, you can see that it doesn't bark when it sees you, and you know that this dog is very peaceful. "Find the right place, Zhao Qiwu will be happy. "Why haven't you seen any bronze artifact?"
"Where's the backyard!" Fang Simao said. "Now don't put the front, put it in the backyard. What do you want? How big?"
"I'll have to see first, and if it's the right fit, I'll have more. Zhao Qiwu was talking, walking along the gable to the back, and suddenly he was speechless.
This backyard is much bigger than the front yard, it's like a small factory.
Those all kinds of bronzes are randomly placed in the courtyard, from the large bronze tripod to the small wine vessel, what copper plates and bronze mirrors are everywhere, as well as bronze carriages, horses and flying swallows, and so on.
Better than museums!
Fang Simao stretched out his hand and pointed: "You can look at it casually, these can be taken directly." Listen to the accent, you're also a fellow?"
"Well, from Lanwei City. Zhao Qiwu spoke, looking around to find a place to tie up the gold.
Fang Simao pointed to a copper tripod: "Tie it to the top first." ”
Zhao Qiwu is not polite, anyway, no one cares, so he will tie himself up.
In fact, this rope is just an ornament, and Jin Zi really wants to run and run away as soon as he breaks free. But when you go to someone else's house, it's reassuring to bring a rope.
Then he began to look at the bronzes all over the yard, looked at it and asked, "You made it all yourself, right?" Don't give me a real guy, I will be arrested and I can come out of you." ”
"That can't. Fang Simao laughed. "I brought you to the backyard to see that you are a fellow countryman, if you come from outside, I will lead you to another yard, maybe I can earn more." ”
Zhao Qiwu was happy at the time: "Is this the best?
"It depends on what price you pay, these ordinary goods are cheaper. If you want to do it well, it will take time, and it will take half a month to a year or two to bury me in the soil if you do it well, and then you have to ask for a higher price. ”
"But these are all right, I'm not blowing, our village is the best I do. Other people's skills are all passed on to them by my Lao Tzu, and the best level is these in the courtyard. ”
When Zhao Qiwu came, he thought about it, so he stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: "If I want to leave my own unique mark on this, can I keep it?"
"What's left?" Fang Simao asked.
"Just leave a seal or something, or make a mark or something, like that. Zhao Qiwu pointed to the inscription under a bronze vessel and said.
"Then I'll have to do it for you all over again. Fang Simao frowned. "This thing has to be one, let's not talk to you about it, you have to say that it's easy to smash a mark on it. But isn't that not like an antique? It's all done at the beginning, and then slowly old, and then it comes out as one, right?"
Well, pretty really.
Zhao Qiwu began to ask the price, pointing to a plate weighing two or three catties and asking, "How much is a plate like this?"
"That's two hundred. Fang Simao said casually, obviously this price is also very arbitrary, it is estimated that he didn't believe what Zhao Qiwu said, so he bought more.
Zhao Qiwu continued to ask a few.
Fang Simao had already started to remove rust from a bronze vessel next to him, and he didn't mind asking next to him.
After chatting a few more words, Zhao Qiwu felt that he could try to talk seriously: "Do I want to make a batch of lines? ”
"That's fine. What do you want, keep a fixed amount of money, and come to get it after a while. Fang Simao said. "It's a month or two if it's fast, half a year or a year if it's slow, and I guess you won't like it until it's done." ”
"Can't it be faster?" Zhao Qiwu was anxious.
"That's it, and here's it. Fang Simao pointed to the other side - there were mounds of earth, pools, and open spaces...... Everything is in there. "It will come out in three or five days, and it will come out in the slowest month. ”
Zhao Qiwu still wanted to leave a 'unique' mark for himself, so he hesitated.
Fang Simao continued to be busy with himself, busy for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, there is a batch of money here, not the era dynasty." Do you want to?"
"Why isn't it the dynasty of the era?" Zhao Qiwu was curious.
"Hey, it's not a penalty. Fang Simao sighed. "Some people buy it back and sell it as antiques, but as soon as they are caught, they come to their homes. If you catch it, you will be fined, and you can't do it. This was not fined in half a year, and I was thinking about simply getting a payment that I didn't have. ”
"Can you sell it?" Zhao Qiwu asked again.
"I don't know yet, I just made it. Fang Simao said.
"What's the payment?" Zhao Qiwu asked again.
"That's a lot, everything. Fang Simao recalled. "What is the ...... of the Yellow Crane Tower of King Teng's Pavilion?"
Zhao Qiwu was happy all of a sudden: "I guess you can't sell it!"
In the age of bronze, there are no such pavilions and buildings!
"It is to make it to deal with the above, so as not to be punished by old age. Fang Simao also felt that it was nonsense at that time, mainly because he was always being looked for, and he was also annoyed.
At the beginning, this village made this kind of bronze ware by Fang Simao's family, but it was annoying to be found, so the technology was passed on and more people made it - there are more people who want to do it, and you can't keep an eye on my family anymore.
As a result, people are still looking for their house, and they are also depressed.
In fact, now they are making serious handicrafts, and they also participated in the provincial selection last year. But others have to be sold as antiques, there are always people who are deceived, and once a case is involved, they still come to find it.
......
Zhao Qiwu moved his mind, the 'unique' payment he originally thought of was related to the resurrection of the dead in the clouds, but I feel that this kind of attic and what kind of building seems to sound very good.
What do you want to do, Tengyun Pavilion, Flying Tower, Flying Tower, Flying Man...... Well, someone used the name.
Then let's call it a celestial, a celestial...... House, go back and hang a plaque on your big house.
"Well, I'll make it. Zhao Qiwu said. "You make me a payment for the 'Heavenly Mansion Zhao', I want the best, and I can wait for half a year, what do you think?"
"I'll do it given the money, what style do you want? You don't like these in the yard, I have a book, show you. Let's say okay first, you have a specific model, and you will have to give a deposit for a while, so I can't sell it if you don't want it in the future. ”
Zhao Qiwu hasn't looked at the goods yet, so he doesn't plan to say the price first: "Then look at it first, you have to explain it to me, otherwise I won't understand anything." ”
Fang Simao didn't want to get the notebook: "You tell me what you want first, if it's a small piece that is worthless, it won't bother you." ”
Zhao Qiwu opened the satchel: "Can you get a 200,000 first?"
......
Then the two of them were busy, Fang Simao's cultural level was actually average, but he was proficient in this, what kind of thing and what era could be said to be very different.
Zhao Qiwu nodded as he wanted and said what he wanted.
Jot down a few pieces of paper in a moment.
Once the item is determined, the price begins.
Zhao Qiwu stared, and in the end, the total price exceeded 200,000.
Then without waiting for him to speak, Fang Simao himself began to reduce him again, explaining while reducing it: "I am not afraid that you will sell this as an antique, so I will give you a discount, and I will not reduce the price of anything else......"
But you're too casual about the price, aren't you?
Zhao Qiwu was a little speechless, did he do such a business?
So put forward an opinion: "I won't talk about the price, you can send me a few small items when you go back! It just so happens that I'm okay today, you let me learn some professional terms with you here, you don't worry, you teach me your skills, I don't learn, I just learn a few words and go back and brag with people." ”
Fang Simao waved his hand: "You can pick whatever you want in the yard, you can't have more than five." ”
"That bronze tripod is also counted?" Zhao Qiwu pointed to the tripod with a leashed dog, and the yard was the largest.
"Count!" Fang Simao hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said.
He asked Zhao Qiwu and didn't grind: "Then I'll give you a deposit of 50,000 yuan first, and you can do a good job for me." I'll say okay first, and if it's not as good as this when the time comes, I don't want it. If you look at my notebook, I have memorized a number of places to make this thing, and the first one will come to you. ”
"That can't. Fang Simao reassured him. "I'm also in the front business, and what I do is a word of mouth. We don't just run away from doing a business, and when the time comes, even if you inspect the goods, you will be disposed of if you are not satisfied. ”
Very confident.
I wrote a small note and pressed my fingerprint, and 50,000 yuan was taken away.
Zhao Qiwu is also big-hearted, and he doesn't care about anything else, just watching him work here and listening to him say something about this knowledge.
Fang Simao's craftsmanship is no problem, his eloquence is average, and he is dry.
And it's an old job, if you look at it live, you really can't see it.
Now what Fang Simao is doing is digging and fishing.
Dig it out of the soil, or from the water with an unpleasant smell, take out the bronze and dry it first, and Zhao Qiwu, who is watching it, doesn't want to look at it for a while.
simply looked at the finished product in the yard, picked and found five pieces to take with them.
......
When I returned to the capital and put these things away, under the backdrop of the old house, I felt different at that time.
The courtyard of the Fang family is too buried with these things, although it is fake, it is also a handicraft, and it looks good in this house.
Then he put the tripod in the courtyard and looked at it, and suddenly felt that it was too small.
Fang Simao wouldn't really give him a copper tripod of several thousand catties as a gift, this one was only a few dozen catties bigger, not much bigger than a larger incense burner.
After watching it for a long time, I feel quite satisfied.
Then I ate and played games and slept.
The next day, I got up early in the morning, and I didn't bring any gold, so I went to the antique market with my hands behind my back to drive away the ghost market.
Don't buy it, just watch.
When you are tired of standing and watching, find a good business location and squat next to you.
Don't look at what people sell, just look at how the seller sells.
While watching and summarizing, I also met Lao Yang.
Lao Yang was stunned when he saw him, a small rich man worth tens of millions, he just knew how to sell antique replicas two days ago, and today he squatted on the street to watch people do business, what do you want to do?
At that time, Lao Yang wanted to pretend that he didn't see anyone and quickly slipped away, but Zhao Qiwu had a good look and called him.
Lao Yang came over and said a few words and left, resolutely not squatting there with this person to watch the excitement - he didn't know anyone, but he knew a lot of people in this market.
When I left, I was a little frightened, and I always felt that this thing was going to do something bad, but unfortunately I had no evidence.
......
Zhao Qiwu squatted until the end of the morning market and found a place to buy a world map.
When I got home and studied for a long time, I didn't think it was useful, and I couldn't see anything about this thing!
And then I thought and thought and thought and thought and thought ......and thought
One last slap on the head, can you come up with a fart in the house, go on a field trip!
I didn't understand anything before, and I was reckless when I wanted to do anything, but now it's good, I don't know much, but I have learned to be indecisive.
Prepare food and water for Kaneko from the kitchen and leave it alone at home. Then he packed up a small bag and took off with a whoosh, leaving Jin Zi in the yard looking at the cold water jerky, a dog's face full of resentment.
Zhao Qiwu flew eastward, flew over the Goryeo Dynasty and the Great Han Kingdom, and then flew over the sea, and came to the Thousand Islands.
I walked around the sky, found a bigger city, and fell.
He also memorized the dictionary in the Thousand Islands, and when he came down, he walked around the streets and knew what this place was.
Then I began to wander around, where there are many people, listen to people's talk, I silently muttered a few words in my heart, I felt that it was almost, and I began to inquire where there was an antique market.
After a few times of chattering, you will be proficient, at least you can inquire about it.
However, when he looked at it in the past, he was disappointed that the antiques here were not called markets, but just shops, and they were not concentrated. The places that the person asked to himself said were all separate antique shops.
It seems that he still hasn't found the right place, and he thinks that he may not have met an antique lover, otherwise, he would definitely know where there is an antique market.
But there is another question, I don't have a thousand island coins now, have I been walking on the street by my legs?
You have to think of a way to make yourself have a little money in your pocket, otherwise there will always be a feeling of being penniless on the streets!
