Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Holiday Jade Bowl

Chapter 38 National Day Holiday Jade Bowl

Guo Hao wandered leisurely.

Guo Hao walked to a stall and looked slowly one by one, Guo Hao saw a jade bowl and found that the jade bowl was simple and meaningful, as if it was good.

Guo Hao asked the boss: "Boss, can I get started with this jade bowl?" As soon as the boss heard that the young man in front of him seemed to be an insider, such a person might often buy it, so he said to Guo Hao: "Sir, please." "

Guo Hao first carefully observed that there was a problem with the wood, holding the jade bowl with both hands, holding the edge of the bowl with his thumb, Guo Hao was not afraid of someone hitting him, just in case, sometimes some bosses would partner with others, and when they saw customers pick up things, they would bump into them, and the things fell and hit people but ran away, and the boss asked customers to lose money, especially when there were many people, they should be most careful to prevent unnecessary trouble.

The jade bowl can be held directly by hand, because the jade is generally hand-panned, so the hand can directly touch the jade bowl, of course, the hand should be clean and do not leave bad things on the jade.

Guo Hao saw that this jade bowl was made of Hetian jade, like a relatively poor jade material, Hetian jade, one of the "four famous jades of Huaxia" (the third is Lantian jade in Western Shaanxi, Xiuyu in Eastern Liao and Dushan jade in Nanhe).

The traditional narrow category refers to jade produced in the Hotan region of western Xinjiang, which is famous for its "sub-material", and the broad sense of Hetian jade refers to nephrite (real jade).

Although Hetian jade is named after Hotan in Western Xinjiang, it is not a regional concept in itself, and does not specifically refer to the jade produced in the Hotan region of Western Xinjiang, but the name of a class of products.

Huaxia named the stones with more than 98% tremolite composition as Hetian jade, which are all within the scope of the national standard.

Hao is strange that if it is a poor jade material, how can there be such a good carver, a powerful famous sculptor should not be so serious about carving such a poor jade material, Guo Hao stabilized his mind and decided to give it a try, control the current to turn to the jade bowl, sure enough, there is a mystery, Guo Hao was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was silent.

Let the boss who has been paying attention to him not see any changes in his face.

Guo Hao asked the boss: "Boss, how can I sell this jade bowl." Boss: "Twenty thousand, no two prices." "

Guo Hao pretended to be stunned: "Boss, if you make such a poor jade material, you sell it for 20,000 or 500." "

The boss also knew that he had met an expert and underreported: "Ten thousand." Guo Hao: "Eight hundred, a very suitable price." "

The boss said, "I can't sell it for much, two thousand." Guo Hao: "One thousand, that's already a high price." "

Of course, the boss wants to sell high: "One thousand and five, or I'll keep it." Guo Hao pretended: "One thousand two, I'm not learning carving, I want to refer to the carving of this jade bowl, I don't want five hundred." "

Boss: "Okay, 1,002 deals." "

The boss was happy, five hundred sold for one thousand two, Guo Hao reluctantly took out one thousand two and grabbed it in his hand and did not give it to the boss immediately, showing a look of wanting to buy but not wanting to buy, the boss said: "Sir, we have talked about it, we can't break the rules in the antique industry." "

Guo Hao pretended to be helpless to pay for the jade bowl and left listlessly, not even the packaging bag given to him by the boss, Guo Hao secretly despised himself in his heart, as if he was acting a little exaggerated, he didn't dare to take a bag, is it necessary to pretend like this.

After Guo Hao left, the stall owner next to him: "Lao Wang, okay, you are simply a professional actor who graduated from college." Lao Wang next door: "Where, where, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning." "I was very proud in my heart, as if I had re-established a tall and glorious image for the title of the old king next door.

After Guo Hao walked away, he carefully put the jade bowl into his bag, Guo Hao's bag was always hung on his chest to prevent pickpockets, and it was safe.

Guo Hao is not in a hurry to continue to walk slowly, while walking, Guo Hao saw a stall selling brushes, this stall has all kinds of brushes, Guo Hao also wants to pick a few brushes to practice calligraphy is easy to use.

These brushes are not antiques, Guo Hao chose a few cents, and was about to ask the price.

Guo Hao suddenly found that there was a relatively large brush next to him, he picked it up and looked at it, he felt strange in his heart how there was such a big brush, is it used to write on the floor, but he found that the weight was wrong as soon as he got started, he couldn't help but control the current, the current went around the brush, sure enough, Guo Hao was choosing a brush with his head down, he almost screamed, but he controlled himself well.

Guo Hao thought to himself that his luck was too good today, could it be Li Yawen, Chen Minjia and their wangfu, well, this is very likely, I can praise them when I go back.

Guo Hao asked the boss: "Boss, how do you sell these brushes?" The boss said: "These are all 300 yuan a piece, you see, the pen barrel, the pen head are made of good materials." "

Guo Hao nodded: "I'll buy three, but yours will give me the big one, and I'll hang it in the study for decoration." The boss looked at the big broken brush and said, "You buy five, and I'll give it to you." "

He doesn't remember where this big broken pen came from, it seems that the corner of the house has been turned out, and I don't know how he brought it with him, if he sells it, it should be bought by someone else.

Guo Hao deliberately thought for a moment: "Okay, wrap it up." Guo Hao took out 1,500 and handed it to the boss, and after the boss took the money and counted it, the two quickly completed the transaction.

Guo Hao thought about it and went to the place where the carving knives were sold first, and bought a few sets of carving knives, these carving knives were all alloy, obviously very sharp, he bought carving knives for wood carving and jade carving, and bought a few sets, he suddenly felt as if he was rich, and he bought things very simply.

After buying so many carving knives, Guo Hao also wants to carve and carve when he is fine, because he has "read" a lot of books about various carvings, so he wants to learn to carve, and now buy good tools for backup.

Guo Hao has read books and knows what carving is, and carving is the cutting or carving of wood, stone or other materials into the expected shape in sculpture, which can be called carving. Tools used for this purpose are knives, chisels, chisels, cones, flat axes, and hammers.

In the most common method of carving, a chisel is held in one hand and a mallet in the other, and the chisel is hammered into the wood or stone with the mallet.

Although some metalworking techniques, such as welding and assembly, have become increasingly important over the past century, engraving and mold-making are still the two main sculptural techniques. A finished sculpture can be referred to as carving, but the term sculpture is often used to refer to a work that has serious artistic or aesthetic connotations.

Guo Hao thought about it and went to the big bookstore again, looked for books for a while, he secretly "looked" a few books, then bought more than ten copies, and then called back to Li Yawen's house.

Guo Hao knocked on the door: "I'm back." Guo Hao went out for a spin and came back at just over ten o'clock in the morning.

Guo Hao entered the door and closed the door again.
