Chapter 43: Palm Eye

"It's coming, sit inside. ”

"Don't be busy, take a look at things first. ”

When the two of them entered the house, the old horse was quite anxious, blinking and touching everywhere with small squinted eyes.

"This, just got it back in the afternoon. ”

Xu Fei pushed the two round stools.

This is a typical Qing Dynasty round stool, also called a round pistle, which is a kind of stool that combines a pestle and a pier. The five-legged legs are curved, and the surface is begonia (blooming petal-shaped), which originally had a pattern on it, but it has long since fallen off.

The trowel head (the place on the edge of the edge) is intact, the big edge (edge edge) is also very rounded, there is no flower tooth (a circle of decoration under the edge edge), the bottom foot is round, and the foot tent is around a circle of feet (connecting the stool legs, a rod that plays a stable role, called a tent).

The color is crimson, dark red and dark brown, the texture is oblique and staggered, looking oily, like a layer of wax, very textured.

Ma Wei fiddled for a while and asked, "How much do you charge?"

"One to twenty, in the trust store. ”

"Okay, I didn't look away!"

He picked a thumbs up and said, "It's the real thing, I can't see the specific dynasty, anyway, it should be the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and there will be the most round stools." You are an old mahogany, what I see is generally round noodles, this is begonia noodles, the condition is so good, not bad. ”

Mahogany is a general term that includes 5 genera, 8 categories, and 29 species. The so-called old mahogany refers to sour branch wood.

Ma Wei finished reading the stool, and was itching for a while, "Is there anything else?"

"Recently, I went to the street every day and collected a few gadgets. ”

Xu Fei opened a cabinet, took out three things, and asked the other party to palm.

The first one is like a small gourd, three or four centimeters long, one is large, the other is small, but it is a white copper cigarette holder.

Lao Ma has not been on the road for a few years, and his understanding is limited, not to mention that there are too many antique categories, and it is impossible to be completely proficient. He checked it and said, "I'm not familiar with this thing, most of it is in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and its value is not high, how much does it cost?"

"Grocery shopping for free. ”

"Oh, that's okay. ”

Then the second piece is a copper paperweight.

It is about six centimeters long and resembles a cow resting on the ground. The cow is a buffalo in the south of the Yangtze River, the head of the cow is high, the mouth is Lingzhi Ruyi, there is a base under the body, the lines are exquisite, lifelike.

"That's a good one. ”

Ma Weidu nodded and said, "The ancient literati all liked paperweights, which were both practical and playful, which was called Qing Reward." You've been around for a long time, and the gilding on the outside has been taken off, but it should be fine copper, and the style is also clever, so it's okay to play with it. ”

Then came the third one, and as soon as he looked at it, his little eyes blinked twice, and then returned to normal.

This is a bamboo carved pen holder, about 15 centimeters high, with a large mouth, serious slurry shedding, and a few fine cracks at the bottom. The depict is a man sitting on the ground bare-chested, barefoot, and holding a shoe in his hand.

There is a withdrawal on the side, and it says "no Yu".

"Where did you get it?"

"A few days ago, when I went to the street, I saw a farmer setting up a stall, saying that it was handed down from my ancestors, and it cost me three yuan. ”

Xu Fei held the pen holder and humbly asked, "Which sage is Zhiyu?"

"I know, there was a bamboo carver in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, named Wang Zhiyu. But he went into hiding very early, and there are very few works, I have seen a few, all of which are imitations of the Republic of China. ”

Lao Ma secretly observed his expression and continued: "You are similar, but I'm not sure. Otherwise, I know an old gentleman in the cultural relics store, who is very interested in bamboo carving, if you have time, Ming'er will go over and have a look?"

"Uh......"

Xu Fei thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Another day, I'm not in a hurry anyway." ”

Ma Wei saw that he didn't pick up, and as if he hadn't said it at all, he walked around the hut and said: "Now people are rushing to the refrigerator and color TV, and there are few people who play antiques, look at what you mean, have you learned before?"

"I've read some miscellaneous books, and I know a little bit about fur. Like Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, Ding, Yuan Qinghua, Tang Sancai, Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture, you know that there is such a thing, you don't understand it if you study it carefully, and you have to learn from you. ”

"Hey, I'm also a new glimpse, making progress together, making progress together. The old horse laughed.

It is now the end of September, and the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" set off to shoot the first scene at Taiping Lake in Huangshan.

Xu Fei returned to the small courtyard, didn't do anything else, and ran out every day. When I got up early in the morning and went to the morning market, there were farmers who came to sell vegetables and goods, often taking the old things at home with them.

Then there is the trust store, the trust store in Sijiu City is almost all over, and I will go to see if there are any new goods every few days. In fact, he wanted to enter the cultural relics store, but the cultural relics store was not for sale, only a domestic sales department.

In the 80s, collecting antiques was the most special!

Don't be afraid to buy fakes, there is no antique market, who makes fakes? Even if there is, it is the ancients who imitate their predecessors, and the Republic of China imitates the ancients. But that's also an antique, the price of three melons and two dates, you don't lose money when you buy it.

Lao Ma rarely touched the same people, the more he chatted, the more interested he became, and before he knew it, it was late at night, so he simply went outside to find a small restaurant.

Self-employed, the taste is acceptable, Xu Fei also asked for a bottle of wine, Huadeng brand special song, the manufacturer is very famous - Niulanshan.

The two of them ate and drank, both a little drunk, Xu Fei said: "Please come today, in addition to giving me a palm, there is something I want to ask."

You're an editor, and you're quite familiar with it, but now you have to run a magazine, what formalities do you have to go through?"

"Running a magazine?"

Ma Weidu blinked and said, "The formalities are not important, the name is the most important." What is the name, that is, the organizer, you are a national prefix, a provincial prefix, a party and government organ, a public institution, or any association, research institute, committee, the bigger the name, the easier it is to deal with, otherwise you can't even apply for a journal number.

What, you want to start a magazine?"

"Just find out, I'm interested in this. ”

Xu Fei toasted a glass of wine, it seems that it is similar to the urine of later generations, and it all depends on the organizer.

Just like the most popular magazines now, "Popular TV" is run by Zhejiang Provincial Radio and Television, "Popular Film" is run by the China Film Association, "Health and Beauty" is run by the Sports Newspaper Association, and "Wulin" is the face of the Sports Committee......

The two of them drank until almost midnight before they broke up, and Ma Wei pedaled his bicycle, staggered and went home.

Xu Fei walked in the secluded alley and rubbed his nose, this half-day experience is really amazing!

Just that pen holder, he dared to swear with his knees that it was true nine times out of ten. I also asked the expert, who is the expert with? If you want to touch someone who is not smart, people say, "Oh, you are fake, but I will sell it in the cultural relics store......

It's all routines.

To be honest, Xu Fei is not very interested in these gentlemen in the Beijing circle, but he also has to admit that they do have the ability, and their influence has been directly raised thirty years later.

If you deliberately don't associate with them because you don't have a good impression of them, it's pure pretense. So I still have to contact, but I have to have a number in my heart.

The Beijing circle is the most xenophobic, and of course I didn't want to lick it in. He knows the value of the Beijing circle, and he knows his own value even more, and as the contact deepens in the future, it is basically a relationship of mutual use.

It's a neutral word, not derogatory. In real life, in addition to your parents and close friends, the guys you know are just using each other with these four words.

When you use him, he also uses you, politely, everyone is very good.

"It's far enough!"

Xu Fei scratched his neck, a little tired from walking, "It looks like I have to get a bicycle." ”
