Chapter 100: You Don't Want It, I Want It
The beautiful woman on the side saw Su Chen answering her grandfather's inquiry so "proudly", her beautiful eyes couldn't help but squint, she didn't have a good impression of Su Chen because of Du Chenghai and others, but her impression was even worse at the moment.
On the contrary, the old man didn't care at all, but continued with great interest: "Young man, I also read your little medicine bottle, I don't think the quality is good, how can you be so sure that this is Yongxuan blue and white porcelain?"
This old man spoke quite politely, but he just said that the quality was not good, and if it was an ordinary person, it was estimated that he would directly say that it was rubbish.
But indeed, this small porcelain vase does look quite rubbish, and there is no trace of authentic blue and white porcelain at all.
Seeing that this old man was obviously also an antique lover, and Lin Wanqing and the others were also curious, the corners of Su Chen's mouth lifted slightly, and explained: "Old man, you have said that this is a small medicine bottle, you should know that this is used to hold medicine." Some drugs, over time, will have a certain effect on porcelain. So it's not right for us to just look at the glaze, or the blue and white color. I think you should know the characteristics of Yongxuan blue and white porcelain, the blue is black, the crystals are deep into the fetal bone, and there is a concave feeling when you touch it with your hand......" In fact, when Su Chen was halfway through the explanation, the old man almost understood what Su Chen meant, and carefully recalled the characteristics of the small medicine bottle he had just seen, and his face suddenly showed a look of amazement: "I didn't expect that young man, you are not very old, and you are so proficient in antiques." What's your name, I don't know where you got there?"
"Old man, you don't have to be polite, just call me Su Chen, now I am the shopkeeper in an antique shop. Su Chen said with a smile.
Hearing that Su Chen was the shopkeeper of the antique shop, the old man was a little surprised: "No wonder, no wonder, he is really young and promising." ”
The old man smiled. ”
Du Chenghai on the side naturally didn't understand what Su Chen said, but he knew one thing, that is, the small medicine bottle in his hand was a treasure, and there was a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed.
And the stall owner was so depressed that he almost vomited blood after hearing that what he had just sold was a blue and white porcelain from the Ming Yongxuan period, but the thing was now in Du Chenghai's hands, and he didn't dare to say anything at all, plus the rules of the black market, he could only secretly blame himself for not having enough eyesight and not knowing treasures.
Because he has already obtained a genuine product, and he has spent such a low price, although Du Chenghai is still excited, he also knows that this kind of thing is indispensable.
So he thought for a while and said, "Brother Su, if you have anything to like next, just tell me, just take the elder brother's gratitude to you." ”
For Du Chenghai's kindness, Su Chen did not refuse and accepted it calmly. Just now, the blue and white folded branch Ruiguo vial, if you really want to follow the price of Yongxuan blue and white porcelain, the minimum is about 100,000 yuan, but he helped Du Chenghai take a big advantage.
After chatting with the old man for a few words, Su Chen knew that his name was Shen Deshan.
Subsequently, Shen Deshan and his granddaughter did not continue to stay longer, and when they were about to leave, Su Chen squatted down, picked up the black jar he put down just now, and said, "Grandpa Shen, you don't want this black clay pot, do you?"
Shen Deshan turned his head and saw the object in Su Chen's hand, he was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: "This is a black pottery, it is an old thing, but there are many surviving things, and it is not valuable, so it has no collection value." ”
"Oh, then, you don't want it, I want it. ”
After Su Chen replied, he said to the stall owner, "How much?"
At this time, the stall owner no longer dared to underestimate Su Chen, his eyes were firmly fixed on the black clay jar in his hand, and his eyebrows were tangled into Sichuan characters.
"Little brother, this ...... This black clay pot, as the old gentleman said just now, is an old thing, so the price is ...... 10,000 yuan?" When he said this price, the stall owner's tone was cautious, because Shen Deshan still had a sentence, that is, this kind of black pottery is not worth much.
This time, Su Chen didn't speak, but Shen Deshan did: "Boss, there are a lot of this kind of black pottery in the world, although it is an old thing, but the price of 10,000 is a bit outrageous." ”
The stall owner's face was also a little embarrassed, he had been in the black market for so long, and he usually took some objects with good origin to sell in the antique street during the day, how could he not know the price of black pottery, but he just saw that Su Chen took away antiques from him that might be worth hundreds of thousands of yuan for 1,400 yuan, and his heart was really a little unbalanced.
Just when he was thinking about whether to take the initiative to reduce the price, Su Chen waved his hand and said, "Ten thousand yuan is ten thousand yuan." I bought it. ”
As soon as he said this, the stall owner was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, but when he saw Su Chen's serious face, he immediately became excited: "Okay, good, good, 10,000 yuan, it's yours." ”
Du Chenghai saw that the two sides had already spoken, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and then he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to pay.
"Su Chen, that Grandpa Shen said that this thing is not worth 10,000 yuan, why do you still spend ......?"
Lin Wanqing took his hand and asked in a low voice why Su Chen had to spend such a high price, but halfway through, she remembered that the 10,000 yuan was not from Su Chen, but from Du Chenghai, and she suddenly felt that she had thought of something.
This is not to treat your own money as money.
And Shen Deshan and his granddaughter also thought so after thinking about it slightly, and looked at Su Chen with a little more strangeness.
Du Chenghai is not a stupid person, so he naturally thought of this, to be honest, he didn't care about the 10,000 yuan, because Su Chen helped him earn more than that, but if Su Chen really had this idea of "not treating other people's money as money", then his impression of Su Chen would undoubtedly deteriorate.
On the contrary, it was the stall owner who thought that this young man was a kind-hearted person and took advantage of himself, so he gave himself a little compensation here.
Seeing the changes in the expressions of the people around him, Su Chen could know their thoughts even if he didn't need to read minds, and immediately smiled and said, "Ordinary black pottery utensils are naturally not worth the price, but if it is Longshan black pottery, it will be different." ”
"Longshan Black Pottery?"
At this time, even Shen Deshan was a little puzzled.
Su Chen immediately explained: "Everyone knows that compared with pottery and porcelain, the value of the latter can be regarded as more than ten times or even hundreds of times that of the former, but that is also the case. Among the pottery, there are also valuable ones, such as painted pottery and red pottery in the Yangshao period, and there is another one, which is the black pottery of the Longshan period!"
"Longshan black pottery, thin as an eggshell, as black as lacquer. This black clay pot is the black pottery of the Longshan period, and it is one of the finest products. ”
"But this is too ugly, isn't it, it's still a fine product like this? Moreover, didn't you say that it was as black as paint? This gray is not slippery, where is it as black as paint?" The beautiful woman standing beside Shen Deshan spoke for the first time, her voice was soft and very good.
However, what she said was also the confusion of everyone on the scene.
In any case, the reason why antiques are valuable is completely because people hold them out, and no matter who they are, it is impossible to be crazy to hold a black clay jar that is too ugly to be good.
Su Chen smiled: "This thing is three or four thousand years old, it is normal to get dust, just clean it." ”
"How do you get it clean?" Lin Wanqing asked curiously with wide eyes.
"Wash it, wash it with tung oil, mix it with water, there is no tung oil here, and when I go back, I will wash it for you." Su Chen replied.
Now that he had already explained this problem, Su Chen didn't continue to say more.
Speaking from the heart, he bought this Longshan black pottery for 10,000 yuan, and the shape is so huge, he already feels that he has picked up a big leak, if he talks about it a little more, he is afraid that this stall owner will not be able to accept it.
It was precisely because of this that the beautiful woman beside Shen Deshan was still frowning and looking at the black jar in Su Chen's hand, obviously not believing what Su Chen said.
But Shen Deshan showed a thoughtful expression, and the eyes that looked at Su Chen were completely different from before, and after thinking for a while, the old man smiled and said to Su Chen: "Su Chen, what is the name of your antique shop? It just so happens that during this time, I want to collect some old gadgets, and I will go to your store another day to have a look." ”
"Treasure Pavilion, Grandpa Shen, welcome at any time. ”
After making an appointment with Su Chen to go to the Treasure Pavilion in the next few days, Shen Deshan left here with his granddaughter.
Exiting the gate of the black market, a car slowly stopped in front of them.
After getting into the car, the beautiful woman said to her grandfather, "Grandpa, what about that painting?" ”
"Don't worry, since we have made an appointment to meet tomorrow night, let's go and meet, but I won't go to that kind of scene. When the time comes...... Ah Hu, you accompany the young lady to take that painting back. Shen Deshan squinted his eyes slightly and commanded softly.
"Yes, sir. A middle-aged man with a grim face sitting in the co-pilot replied in a deep voice.
After ordering this matter, Shen Deshan stopped talking, but he didn't know what to think, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Xiaoice, what do you think, how about the young man named Su Chen I met just now?"
"Su Chen, hmph, it's not good. Because of preconceived reasons, even if Su Chen showed his excellent understanding of antiques later, Shen Luobing's impression of him still did not change, "Full of words, how can that black jar be worth 10,000." ”
"Oh? That's what you think. Shen Deshan shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Then you can go to the Treasure Pavilion with me in two days to have a look." ”
"Ah, oh, good, grandpa. Although she didn't have a good impression of Su Chen, she definitely had to meet her grandfather's request.
On the other side, after Su Chen got the Longshan black pottery, he asked Lin Wanqing if he had anything he liked, and he paid to buy it for her, but Lin Wanqing didn't have much of a hobby in collecting antiques, and everything that should be visited was almost gone, so a group of people also left the black market.
After arriving home, Lin Wanqing couldn't wait to call Qin Shuyun.
"Aunt Qin, is there still tung oil at home?"
Qin Shuyun had just cleaned up the housework at this time, and when she heard this, she thought about it for a while, and said, "There should be a little more, not much, I bought it last time to maintain the furniture." ”
"One little is enough, no more. Su Chen said after walking into the house with a black jar in his hand.
At this time, Lin Xiongye was reading the newspaper in the living room, and when he heard this movement, he immediately looked over and said, "What do you want tung oil for?"
"Uncle Lin, I didn't do anything, I just bought a Longshan black pottery, so I was going to wash it with tung oil. ”
"Longshan Black Pottery!" As soon as he heard these four words, Lin Xiongye immediately stood up and walked over quickly.
He is not Du Chenghai or Shen Luobing, who doesn't know much about antiques, as a big man in the Jinnan antique industry, Lin Xiongye clearly knows what these four words represent.
He saw the black pottery jar in Su Chen's arms at a glance, and his attention was immediately on it: "This is the black pottery of Longshan?"
"Well, after washing it with tung oil, you will be able to reproduce the highest pottery process in ancient times. Su Chen was also slightly excited.
