Chapter 81: Stone Eyes

The night in the countryside is a bit boring, there is no hustle and bustle, it is only about ten o'clock, and many villagers have already fallen asleep.

Populus euphratica is the first time they came, so Brother Song did some other programs and took Populus euphratica to the river to take pictures of the fish, saying that the fish at night are very easy to catch, as long as they are irradiated with a flashlight, they are like a stupid fish.

Sure enough, in less than two hours, they caught a lot of fish and shrimp, and made a pot of fresh river porridge for supper at night.

The next day, Brother Song took Hu Yang and them to the town to find the old master.

The master's surname is Feng, and he is sixty-nine this year, but his hands and feet are still very sharp, and he is still very stable in carving things. It is said that his ancestral home in Yangzhou has been carved for generations.

It was only in his generation that he moved here to earn a living, and his superb craftsmanship made him quickly famous and established himself in this town.

Before looking for Master Feng, Hu Yang and the others went to the inkstone factory and paid some money to let the material be completely opened and the extra rocks in the outer layer were removed.

When the complete material was solved, Brother Song exclaimed: "If the third uncle is here, he will definitely regret that his intestines will be blue." ”

Because he saw the stone eye, the so-called "stone eye", which is a "stone core" that naturally grows on the inkstone like an eye, and is a unique feature of Duan inkstone and Tho but inkstone.

The shape of the stone eye is round or pointed, growing on the azure or blue-purple inkstone, it is blue-green or emerald green with a slight yellowish, the pupils are turquoise and black, and the shades are alternate. The chic one is faint for several or even ten weights, and if it has both pupils, it looks like the eyes of some kind of bird or beast.

It is said that since ancient times, due to the love of the literati, the Duan inkstone with stone eyes is very precious and rare.

"The position of the stone eye is very clever, this gentleman, can you transfer this inkstone? I can pay 300,000 yuan. The owner of the inkstone factory said to Hu Yang.

Obviously, I fell in love with this inkstone.

They have a saying in this industry, saying that those who have eyes are the most expensive.

Coupled with the white frost of banana leaves, this inkstone is particularly precious. In particular, the stone eye found after solving it is simply the best stone eye that the owner of the inkstone factory has seen in recent years.

The offer price is 300,000, and he also tried it with the mentality of picking up leaks.

"Boss, 300,000 yuan? You are treating us as laymen! I have been doing quarrying for more than ten or twenty years. Let's not talk about the stone eye, just this burnt leaf white, is it more than this price?

Let's talk about this stone eye, it's a high eye, right?"

You sister! You can even see that you are an expert!

According to the position of its growth, the stone eye is divided into high eye and low eye. If the stone eye appears in the middle or side of the top of the ink pool, it is called a high eye, and if it grows in other positions, it is called a low eye. The high eye is conducive to artistic processing, easy to appreciate, and can play the role of turning stones into gold, which is very precious.

The owner of the inkstone factory looked at Brother Song twice in surprise, and his face was slightly embarrassed.

"Hehe! This friend, a local?" As soon as he heard that it was quarrying, the owner of the inkstone factory guessed that it was local.

"What do you say?"

"Haha! That's me abrupt, how about I add another 100,000?"

Populus euphratica wanted to say: Not good!

The audience in the live broadcast room wanted to laugh even more, is Brother Hu such a 108,000 person? 300,000 starts, it has risen by 100,000, which is not Brother Hu's style at all!

"The owner of the inkstone factory wants to laugh at me. ”

"He wants to pick up the leak, but he doesn't want to see who Brother Hu is, Guan Gong is playing a big knife in front of him!"

"At a glance, you can see that there must be more than 400,000. ”

"Nonsense! Find a good master, carve it and sell it, and the value can be doubled. ”

……

"Boss, I have no plans to transfer this piece of material for the time being. But do you sell your pot of pine trees? I like it when I look at it. Hu Yang pointed to an old pine tree less than half a meter tall in the inkstone factory and asked.

As soon as these words came out, not only did the boss of the inkstone factory not react, Andy, Brother Song, and the audience in the live broadcast room all overturned, and it was really a bit anxious for Hu Yang.

"Mr. Hu still plays with potted plants?" the owner of the inkstone factory was surprised.

To be honest, he didn't do much research on flowers and trees. In fact, he has only taken over the inkstone factory for more than two months. The previous boss thought that this industry was not so easy to do, so he put it out.

And that pot of old pine, naturally, was left by the previous boss, and he didn't know how to appreciate it.

"It's not much fun, but it's interesting to look at, looking at a very old pine tree, why can't it grow tall?" said Hu Yang.

The audience who is familiar with Brother Hu's routine thinks that it is not so simple, and friends with sharp eyes quickly recognize that it is Black Song.

The black pine is dark green in all seasons, with two needles and a bunch of needles, dark green, coarse and hard, the bark is gray-black, and the scales are cracked. The growth is slow, the branches are spread horizontally, the crown is like a cover, and the vigor is wonderful.

In recent years, black pine is very popular, and there was a period of time when a pot of black pine bonsai from the Bonsai Association shouted a high price of hundreds of thousands, especially the wild pile head, and the price was even more expensive.

"You say, could it be a black pine worth hundreds of thousands?"

"It's estimated that it's not far off, Brother Hu said that he doesn't play much, but his eyesight to see things has never been bad. ”

"Inkstone Factory Boss Pill!"

"If you can't pick up the leak, but you will be picked up, then it will be embarrassing. ”

……

The owner of the inkstone factory saw that Populus euphratica was not joking, as if he really took a fancy to the pot of pine trees, so he smiled firmly: "Now these old pine potted plants are not cheap, ordinary ones are thousands, slightly better ones cost tens of thousands, and more than 100,000 are not nothing." ”

Since someone has taken a fancy to it, there is no reason not to sell it! What is he keeping it for?

However, the price must be considered.

He pretended to understand: "My pot is in excellent condition, if you make a shot, you can get seventy or eighty thousand!"

"It's too expensive, it's not like I haven't seen the bonsai exhibition, this is in good condition, at most 50,000. "Populus euphratica is also talking nonsense in a serious way, what bonsai exhibition, I haven't seen it at all.

But the boss of the inkstone factory took it seriously, thinking that Populus euphratica had played more or less and understood the market.

Just now, he was just testing the psychological price of Populus euphratica.

"Okay, make a friend, 50,000 is 50,000. ”

Don't say 50,000, even 5,000 he sells. If it's really valuable, the previous boss won't leave it to him.

The familiar lines once again made the audience in the live broadcast room laugh, and it was "making a friend", which is completely the panacea of this industry!

Coming out of the inkstone factory, there is an extra pot of pine trees in his hand, Andy thinks it is quite funny.

"Brother Hu, this pine tree is quite valuable, isn't it?" he asked.

Hu Yang said casually: "I don't know, I don't know about bonsai." ”

Belch!

Everyone was suddenly stunned!

I don't know?

Then you still spend 50,000 yuan to buy it? What is the situation? It can't really be a benefit for the boss, right?

"Is this flower pot valuable?" Andy suddenly felt that he had guessed correctly.

What is Brother Hu best at? Isn't it an antique? The audience in the live broadcast room also reacted. This has happened before, and they still remember the pot of jadeite carvings.

However, Hu Yang still shook his head, leaving everyone confused.
