Subsequently, it was the bonsai of the jade carving, and the poplar took out the jade carving inside and separated the "pot".

"Leave Lao Cheng's stall and you will find this treasure?" asked Sun Zhidong.

Andy replied: "Yes! It cost more than 80,000 yuan." ”

Sun Zhidong did not rush to look at the "pot", but observed the jade carving taken out, which is a jadeite carved plant, and the quality of jadeite can only be said to be average.

"Brother Hu said, this is a green jadeite. Andy added.

Sun Zhidong nodded slightly: "Sort of!"

What does that mean?

Seeing Andy's suspicious gaze, Sun Zhidong explained: "It can only be said that it can barely be regarded as a cyan jadeite, which belongs to a relatively ordinary quality of cyan jadeite." ”

The cyan jadeite belongs to the low-grade jadeite, so the price of the general quality of the cyan jadeite is not high, and most of the cyan species can be bought within 1,000 yuan for making mid-range jadeite pendants, play pieces, ornaments, etc. The price of the jade pendant with poor color and water is within 1,000 yuan, and the price of the pendant with a slightly better color or water is between several thousand and 10,000 yuan.

Good seed water can improve the transparency and warmth of jadeite, and at the same time, it can also improve the vitality and penetration of the color, and increase the price of jadeite.

"It is not impossible for a true color of the pure cyan jadeite, hundreds of thousands. Sun Zhidong told Andy.

The carving of this cyanine plant in front of me is so big, plus the carving, it is only more than 80,000, and it can only be said that the quality of the jadeite itself is indeed average.

After reading the jade carvings, Sun Zhidong focused his attention on the "basin".

According to Populus euphratica, it was a fish tank in the Song Dynasty. When he first heard this, he was also surprised.

He has been playing this business for more than ten years, but the ancient fish tank, Sun Zhidong has encountered it for the first time, and it is still a fish tank so old in the Song Dynasty, it feels even more incredible.

Even Old Zhou shook his head with a smile: "My old man is also the first time to see the fish tank of the Song Dynasty, and he has only heard relevant rumors before. ”

However, such a small fish tank seems to have never been heard of.

In ancient times, raising ornamental fish was a relatively luxurious interest, generally some dignitaries, or the family has a little status, some wealth, will have leisure and elegance to raise ornamental fish.

Raising ornamental fish, or fish tanks for raising goldfish, is generally in the large yard of the home, with a relatively large fish tank, or a relatively large tank, which is generally in the open air.

Zhou Lao expressed his opinion, so he was a little unsure about such a small fish tank.

In the final analysis, he is not a professional antique player, and his research on antiques is not up to a professional level, so he can only be said to be a collector.

"I didn't know that week, what you said was true, but some information was missing. Hu Yang said to him.

"Oh, but I heard it!"

Hu Yang said eloquently: "In ancient times, ornamental fish were usually goldfish, as you said, they were generally kept in a large tank in the yard, or simply dig a pond in the yard, introduce live water, or even a little more elegant, make some rockeries or something in it."

However, it is impossible for the host to go to the yard every time to watch, and sometimes, they have a whim in the study, living room and other places, what to do when they want to see?

At this time, there is often a mediocre person who is responsible for taking care of the fish, fishing the beautiful goldfish into a small pot, and then giving it to his master to appreciate. In the evening, they were put back in the same vat. ”

Zhou Lao and Sun Zhidong looked at the small white porcelain jar of the kiln: "Is this kind of small pot?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be. Populus nodded.

This is one way that ancient people appreciated ornamental fish. Because the fish can be raised in a large tank, but it is not convenient to admire. Therefore, in order to make it more convenient to enjoy it at ordinary times, a small fish tank was specially prepared.

"The ancients paid more attention to the sense of ritual, which may also be regarded as a ritual. Zhou Lao thought about it and made up for it by himself.

However, this kind of brain supplement is not without reason. In ancient times, people with status and status did pay attention to a sense of ritual, in today's words, that is, pretending.

The audience in the live broadcast room disagreed: "Isn't that a toss? Play a few times, and the fish will be played to death." ”

Some people also think it is reasonable: "Whether it is in ancient times or now, do you care about the life and death of a fish? Isn't raising fish just to improve the quality of the fish?"

Hu Yang explained: "I can't say that, I personally appreciate the farming methods of the ancients. Isn't it better to put it in an outdoor environment than to fix it in a small fish tank? ”

In today's world where every inch of land is at a premium, few people have the luxury of getting a large fish tank indoors to raise fish, which is too wasteful of space.

"Even if it was stocked in the same fish tank, many fish tanks in ancient times were better designed than they are now.

Friends in the capital may have seen that some aristocratic palaces have put a few large tanks in the yard to raise goldfish, which are shallower than ordinary water tanks, but the caliber is larger, so that the contact surface between the tank mouth and the air is larger, and more oxygen can be dissolved. In winter, these vats will be lifted to the flower cellar to prevent the goldfish from freezing to death and the vat from freezing and cracking. ”

Of course, that kind of design can't be helped. In ancient times, it was not as advanced as today's technology, and there could be aerators. Even if it is a small space, as long as you get an aerator into it, you can also make the fish have enough oxygen in it, so that the ornamental fish can survive.

The topic of the fish tank stopped, and Zhou Lao carefully observed the small white porcelain jar of the Dingyao.

"Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, Jun" kiln is known as the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, of which "Ding kiln" is one of the five famous kilns, has been a recognized and indisputable fact in the collection circle, academic circles, auction industry, etc.

"Look at this carved flower, it should be an object from the middle and late Song Dynasty. Zhou Lao said.

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the carving, composition and pattern of the kiln became simplified, with the heavy lotus petal pattern being the majority, and the beauty of bas-relief carving. The carved flowers in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty are exquisite and unique. Decorative patterns are often printed, scratched and piled up, beautiful and elegant.

This judgment, as the anchor said before, feels that it is something from the middle and late Song Dynasty.

However, the angle of Populus euphratica was different before, not to look at the carving, but to analyze the so-called "tear stains".

But no matter what, the conclusion is the same, that is, the Dingyao white porcelain in the middle and late Song Dynasty.

Unlike the last wash, this time Zhou Lao did not take the initiative to make a bid, but asked: "Brother Hu, how much do you plan to transfer?"

Because the price of white porcelain in the Song Dynasty was uncertain, the highest, there were hundreds of millions of auction records, and it was normal for tens of millions to be auctioned.

Hu Yang thought about it, his current treasure hunting eye is still at a low-level stage, and being able to see through this piece of Song Dynasty Dingyao white porcelain shows that its value is less than five million.

This fish tank, in fact, has a shortcoming, and Populus euphratica did not say it.

"Two million, what do you think of it?"

This price was lower than Zhou Lao's expectations, so he responded quickly: "Okay, just do what you say!"

There was another howl in the live broadcast room, and it was too enjoyable to watch the anchor get rich.

The last birdcage, Zhou Lao just looked at it, he didn't have much interest, and Hu Yang didn't force it, anyway, Sun Zhidong swore that he would be able to help him find a buyer within a week.
