Chapter 9 Birdcage (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
Kang Bo is an authentic Yangcheng person, who worked hard when he was young, and with the benefits brought by reform and opening up, his family lived a good life.
By his age, he had already retired. On weekdays, in addition to bringing grandchildren or something, it is to raise flowers and plants, play with birds and insects.
Every morning, it is his habit to go to this teahouse with old friends to have morning tea.
Lao Liang's situation is similar to him, every day is to walk the dog, play Tai Chi, and sing Cantonese opera with some old ladies when he has time.
Lao Zhou, who has the most serious baldness, is no worse than them, after all, they are all residents in this neighborhood, where can they be worse? Even if he lies down and doesn't do anything, he can't starve to death.
However, Lao Zhou has not retired and still works in the newspaper.
In his words, the kind of person he will die if he is idle.
Today, it is rare for Lao Zhou to give himself a holiday, and after eating morning tea, they plan to walk around and take a walk or something.
Suddenly Comber noticed that someone was talking to him, and turned his head to see a young man at the next table.
"The offspring! It's a canary. Comber smirked.
Speaking of birds, insects, flowers and plants, he has more experience now and is happy to talk to everyone.
"It turns out that the canary looks like this. An audience member in the live broadcast room said.
This anchor is also a bit weird, other anchors usually go to talk to beautiful women, but he went to talk to the old man, chatting with people about pet birds, and seems to be very interested.
Many people have heard the name of the canary, but not many people have actually seen it. Even Andy knows for the first time that a canary looks like that.
Liang Bo on the side also likes to talk to young people, and feels that people will become energetic.
"Brother Housheng, Lao Kang, the canary, is still wild when it comes to it......"
Before he finished speaking, he was pulled by another old man: "Old Liang, pay attention." ”
Liang Bo was depressed: "What are you afraid of? It wasn't caught by Lao Kang, and he didn't break the law." ”
Poplar was surprised and asked, "How do you know it's wild?"
"Wild canaries are usually green or olive, and pet canaries are usually baby yellow. ”
At this time, Hu Yang couldn't help but stretch out his finger and approached the canary, wanting to tease.
And the next scene not only surprised the people present, but also the audience in the live broadcast room.
I saw that the canary pecked the fingers stretched out by the poplar, and then tilted his little head, looked at the poplar, and screamed a few times from time to time, as if he had met an old acquaintance to say hello.
"Hey, I'm a canary, it's the first time I've been so close to someone. Comber was surprised.
At this moment, even he, the owner of the breeding, is a little savory.
Not to mention other people, even the poplar was surprised, I didn't expect this bird to be close to him.
"It's fun, this canary is related to me. Old man, can you cut love?" Hu Yang hurriedly spoke.
Before Comber could react, Liang Bo on the side persuaded: "Old Kang, I can see that this canary does have a bit of fate with other people's pretty boys, and there are a lot of insects and birds in your family, so let one out!"
Wild birds are difficult to raise, and some of the more stubborn birds will even choose to go on a hunger strike. Lao Kang has been taking this bird out to slip away all these days, just to enhance the relationship, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
That's why Uncle Liang persuaded him so much, since he couldn't raise him well, and he met someone who was destined, just let it go!
Comber pondered for a while, and finally sighed: "That's it!"
"How much?" asked the poplar again, carrying the birdcage and teasing the canary.
Comber waved his hand: "I'll send you, take care of it." ”
Now, on the contrary, Populus euphratica is very difficult. The more generous people are, the more ashamed they are. Because in the beginning, he didn't look at the bird, but the cage. Originally, he was going to pick up the leak.
Chinese people have been playing with birds for at least 1,000 years. In the spring and autumn period, the phenomenon of cage birds has begun to appear, when the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese people playing with birds have gradually formed the climate, after the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, raising birds to play with cages has become a very common public leisure cultural activities.
After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the birdcage gradually evolved into a kind of artwork, known as the capital of bird walkers.
Today, the birdcage is a traditional utilitarian work of art that serves both purpose and ornamentation. With the heat of the art market, they gradually entered the antique market from the flower and bird market.
Antique birdcages usually survive in relatively small quantities, and most of them come from the hands of famous birdcage artists at that time, and the craftsmanship is relatively sophisticated, and there is strong historical value and ornamental value.
Because of the age, part of the structure of the bird cage may deteriorate, and if it is used simply to raise birds, it will inevitably cause irreparable damage to the bird cage. Therefore, this kind of bird cage has lost the function of raising birds, and has become a highly ornamental work of art.
Faced with the old man's sincerity, Populus euphratica was embarrassed.
can be solved with money, he is not very willing to feel this guilt.
"Old man, the canary gave it to me, but the cage should be bought at your own expense!" Hu Yang hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to pick up the leak.
To be honest, with his current ability, there is no need to make this unfortunate money. If it is an old man with a bad character, he naturally has no psychological burden, but the problem is that the old man in front of him is different.
Comber was unhappy: "An old cage, what is it worth?"
Hu Yang was very embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Don't, this cage is really valuable." I'm ashamed to say that at first, I only fancy the birdcage, and I plan to pick it up. By the way, it's a bit rude to introduce yourself. Populus euphratica, currently playing with antique appreciation. ”
As soon as these words came out, Comber and the other three old men looked at each other, shocked and a little relieved.
The live broadcast room exploded again, and the audience has risen to more than 3,000, excluding more than 1,000 virtual data, there are almost 2,000 real viewers.
Just now, they really thought that the anchor had taken a fancy to someone's pet bird, especially when they saw that the canary was close to the anchor, they didn't doubt it.
Unexpectedly, the anchor was worried about other people's birdcages early on and wanted to come to the routine.
"People who play this business have a bit of a heart!"
"It's okay! Compared to some people, the anchor is good. ”
"It's a little stupid, why do you say it? Isn't it good to make a fortune by muffling?"
"What kind of muffled money to make a fortune? The anchor doesn't care about making this money at all, the rich second generation comes. ”
……
"Antique?" Comber was surprised.
"Not bad!"
Hu Yang explained that the cage in front of him was an object left over from the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Palace Office organized skilled craftsmen from all over the country to make bird cages for the palace, and its artistic quality reached a very high level, and it had reached its peak in the time of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
"What is really valuable is this base, made of sandalwood, you see this carving, it is very exquisite, not an ordinary craftsman can carve it. Moreover, there are several pieces of jade inlaid here. Let's put it this way, the base of this cage alone is worth 100,000. ”
Rao is Comber and they are rich, but also slightly surprised.
Viewers who watched the live broadcast of Populus euphratica yesterday were no longer surprised, after all, a porcelain box that was not as big as a palm yesterday sold for more than 200,000 yuan.
"Brother Housheng, are you right?" Liang Bo couldn't help but ask.
It's really Populus euphratica at this age, which gives people an unreliable feeling. Although they don't play antiques, they still know more or less, and there are a lot of antique shops in their area, which seem to be played by old men.
"Yes, if you really want to buy it for 100,000 yuan, you will lose a lot. The bald old Zhou also said.
Yes, they are all kind-hearted people.
Seeing Hu Yang's determined expression, as if he thought that his birdcage was a treasure, Comber asked, "One hundred thousand, do you really want it?"
If that's the case, he doesn't mind, and he will brag to his friends in the future, and he will have the capital to brag?
"Then you're going to lose......"
Without waiting for Hu Yang to finish speaking, Comber clapped his hand and said, "Since this is the case, then 100,000 will be given to you." ”
Hu Yang was stunned, he still had some words to finish! However, when everyone talked about this, Hu Yang didn't say much. Everyone quickly completed the deal, and everyone was happy.
When the old man paid the bill, he also settled the table of poplar by the way.
Seeing the three old men leave, Hu Yang glanced at the live broadcast room and saw many people asking: Did you make money and how much did you earn?
Andy also looked over.
Hu Yang nodded: "Earned." ”
