Chapter 250: Ten thousand

The middle-aged man surnamed Cui left on the spot, obviously only interested in the Ru kiln pendant.

The next item is a bit interesting, it's a wooden box. The reserve price is not high, and apparently the auction house is not expecting it to fetch any good price.

Although for some, this thing is a bit of a novelty, but the artistic content is not high. The material is ordinary wood, which is not very precious.

If you have to find its merits, it is the carved patterns on the surface, and the tricks.

The box is two palms the size of a slap and is closed, and the box can only be opened as long as the mechanism is unlocked.

This modern Rubik's Cube is a bit alike, but it's not the same. The surface is divided into pieces, but instead of rotating like a Rubik's cube, you can slide left and right to move the left piece to the right.

Mechanism is the representative of ancient Chinese scientific and technological civilization, whether it is in production, life, military or even all needs, it can be seen. The use of mechanical power, skillful control of things, and achieve magical effects is the contribution of the ancients to the world.

As an important part of ancient Chinese culture, some of the techniques of ancient Chinese institutions have been passed down to the present day and become the cornerstone of modern science and technology. And many have been lost, lost in the vastness of history.

When it comes to mechanical arts, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is nothing more than two characters: Lu Ban and Mozi.

Needless to say, Lu Ban, as a figure who is regarded as the ancestor of the woodworking industry, has invented many tools, such as saws, etc., which have been used to this day, and the impact is very huge.

Some people may want to say, carpentry and mechanical skills can't be related, right?

In fact, Lu Ban's tricks are quite clever. Legend has it that he once made a wooden bird that could fly into the sky. If not, it would have been the first aircraft in human history.

As for Mozi, the Mojia machine technique has long been like thunder, who doesn't know?

But in fact, in all dynasties, there are very good machine heirs, far more than the two people everyone knows. For example, Zhuge Liang and his wife are both masters of playing tricks.

Zhuge Liang's light is too strong, so we won't talk about it. Let's talk about his wife, Huang, who is also said to be an inventor.

Folklore has an interesting story about how she invented a wooden man that could be used to push the grinder, and the wooden man tirelessly pushed the stone mill as soon as the mechanism was activated. If the legend is true, then this wooden man became the first robot in human history.

"I think this box can be photographed, and if there are treasures in it, it will make a lot of money. Someone in the live broadcast room spoke.

Some people couldn't cry or laugh: "How can you see the box and think there are treasures in it?"

"It's hard to say! Brother Hu hasn't encountered it before, didn't he see a box containing gold pearls in the demolition area a few days ago?"

……

Hu Yang gave a negative in his heart, he did take a look with perspective eyes just now, and found that it was an empty box. Therefore, even if its floor price is not high, he is too lazy to do it.

Just when he thought that it was useless, he inadvertently looked at it with a treasure hunting eye.

What the treasure hunter saw made him a little surprised, the trap box was actually a treasure.

So, Hu Yang pondered, the only factor that could cause the box to be a treasure should be the carved pattern on the surface of the box itself.

In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the surface of the small wooden blocks that can be moved is very complicated to carve, and the carved knife skills are very good.

It's a pity that it's so messy that people don't have a clue to put it together.

After Hu Yang found out that it was a treasure, he began to observe it carefully, and constantly reorganized it in his mind from the trivial and trivial carved patterns, and after a while, he found that it seemed to be a little familiar.

Now let's start the bidding for the second lot, with a reserve price of 10,000 yuan, and there is no limit to the price increase. Jiang Xiaobai introduced it violently, and after "gilding" the box of the organ, he announced the start of the auction.

With a reserve price of only 10,000 yuan, everyone found that the auction did not seem to be as high-end as the legend, and the threshold did not seem to be particularly high. There are only about 10,000 things, but they can also be put on the auction, is it lowering the grade?

"It's low-end? It's only 10,000, and I'm not willing to give it. People with a salary of more than 4,000 a month, items that are overpriced, for me, are all luxuries. ”

"Indeed, some new mobile phones are six or seven thousand, and I feel that they are expensive and reluctant to change them. It's just a box made of wood, all of which start from 10,000, and it can't be said to be low-grade. ”

"It depends on what income level you have, if your monthly income is not more than tens of thousands, it is estimated that it is expensive. ”

……

This time, everyone didn't seem to buy it. Auctioneer Jiang Xiaobai wasted so much saliva, but no one responded, could it be that this item was going to be auctioned?

It's only the second one, and it's going to be unsold, and it's a bit ugly to say! Zhou Xing blames the planner a little, how can he put this thing in the second place? Isn't it uncomfortable?

"It seems that everyone still doesn't know much about this treasure, so I'll tell you about it again. Although the materials used to make it are ordinary, the implied mechanism is very complex, which is of great help to the study of ancient mechanism techniques, and it is a Mohist work......"

Even the Mo family moved out, and the people present were very puzzled.

Zhao Xindu couldn't help but say to Zhou Xing: "Old Zhou, there is a bit of a problem with your planning this time! It seems that this one is going to be auctioned, and there are too few people who collect this kind of thing." ”

Zhou Xing nodded, he didn't have much hope, although on the stage, Xiao Jiang was still working hard to "sell" everyone.

Just when everyone thought that the box was going to be auctioned, Hu Yang quoted a price and directly gave the reserve price. Since you don't have a limit on the price increase, then he will also give the reserve price.

"Ten thousand!"

Zhou Xing gave Hu Yang a grateful look, in his opinion, Hu Yang did this completely to give face, not to let the auction house be too ugly, only the second bid, will make a fuss.

The people from the auction house hurriedly gave the auctioneer a look, and Jiang Xiaobai also understood that as long as he could get rid of it now, it would be a good thing.

So, he hurriedly hammered the mallet three times and announced that the No. 2 auction item was sold for 10,000 yuan.

"Thank you Brother Hu for your care. Zhou Xing said.

Hu Yang hugged his fist at him: "It's just a mutual photo, and I think the box is worth 10,000 yuan, so I don't suffer a loss." ”

Look! The little Hu Duo can talk, this young man is really good, and he deserves to be deeply friends.

Zhao Xin looked at Hu Yang a little puzzled for a while, according to his understanding of Xiao Hu, he was not the kind of person who made a casual move. He's loving and righteous, but is your auction house pitiful?

In addition, I am not very familiar with your auction house, so there is no need to take care of you.

He always felt that there was a conspiracy here, and Populus euphratica was not as simple as simply helping the auction to break the siege, there should be other factors, right?

has the same idea as Lao Zhao, as well as many viewers in the live broadcast room. They are all people who know Brother Hu as a person and know his urine.

That's right! Brother Hu has helped a lot of people, and even been sprayed with a virgin, but not just anyone helps. Like your auction house, it is obviously not on the list of pitiful sympathies.

"Brother Hu is interested in the trick?" After all, the complex small wooden blocks are dazzling, and it feels like it was high-tech in ancient times, right?

"It should be, although today, that is not much technology, and the mechanical structure of a watch may be more technological than it. But in ancient times, it was a proper magical object, such a thing should still be collectible, right?"

In the eyes of some viewers, the technical content of the box itself is enough for people to collect.

"If you want me to see it, it's still the same sentence, I guess there are treasures inside. ”

"I guess your sister! Brother Hu has not been in contact, just look at it a few times, do you have a clairway eye? You can still see that there are treasures inside? Isn't this bullshit?"

"Thinking too much, if there is really something, will the auction house not know about it? You can feel it after shaking it a few times! If there is something, no matter what it is, the auction house will not be able to set a reserve price of 10,000 yuan. ”

……

The people in the live broadcast room were still arguing, and the third auction item appeared.

This time, the item is familiar to everyone, it is an ancient calligraphy painting.

Auctioneer Jiang Xiaobai introduced to everyone, it is a finger painting of Gao Qipei, the characters and rocks in the painting are dyed with finger painting hook lines and rubbing, because they are not constrained by the brush, so the lines fly and float, and the dot dyeing is loose and lively, which is very interesting.

"According to the appraisal of our appraiser, this is Gao Qipei's work in his later years, which is a masterpiece ......," Jiang Xiaobai said.

Hu Yang saw that everyone in the live broadcast room didn't know what finger painting was, so he popularized it to everyone: "The so-called finger painting is to use fingers dipped in ink instead of brushes to paint, and use fingertips, nails, backs of fingers, palm edges and other different parts of the paper to draw lines with different textures, which not only maintains the traditional charm of brush painting, but also has its own simple and robust special flavor, so as to be able to express objects with ease." ”

He told everyone that Gao Qipei was the originator of finger painting, a well-known painter in the Qing Dynasty, and an official.

When he was young, he studied traditional painting, and his landscapes and figures were influenced by Wu Wei, and after middle age, he began to paint with his fingers, and the flowers and trees, birds and beasts, fish, dragons and people he painted were all simple and vivid, and the interest was high. In his later years, the reputation of finger painting spread far and wide, such as the DPRK and Xian.

In ancient times, being an official really required to be versatile. If you want to be able to calligraphy, you must know how to write a few poems, and it is best to know a little about painting. Some officials even have to know music and be able to play a few songs.

Therefore, the imperial examination in ancient times was much more difficult than the current civil service examination.

After listening to Brother Hu's explanation, everyone was surprised, there were still paintings without brushes in ancient times? That is too unusual, it is simply non-mainstream!

The appearance of the finger painting changed the cold situation just now, and after announcing the start of the auction, in just a few minutes, the reserve price rose from 800,000 yuan to more than 3 million.

In the end, it was patted away by a person with a scar on his face for 3.65 million.
