314 Black pottery
"Mr. Xu, you continue to look at the jade carvings, and my cousin and I will go to see the antiques. Murong Xian said.
People have business, unlike her, who is the shopkeeper, so she takes separate actions.
"Then what should I do?" Ning Xin'er was embarrassed, she was only one person, and she couldn't take care of it at the same time.
"You go with Mr. Xu and the others, and go back to the hotel to settle the bill. Murong Xianxian said.
"Then be careful. Shen Huixin and Xu Peijia didn't insist, and after giving an instruct, they followed Ning Xin'er to continue shopping on Jade Street, while Murong Xianxian, Jiang Caijing and Tu Xuan turned into the old street that sold antiques.
Most of the shops in the old street still sell jade, and there are two real jade processing workshops, the sound of the machine inside is very harsh, but there are not many people selling wool, and most of the stalls outside are peddling old items, as for whether they are real antiques, it depends on the eyesight of the officials.
After walking through a few stalls that really didn't have any quality, there was a very large stall in front of me, with ceramics, ancient coins, and ancient jade on it...... It's quite complete, and there are even two strings of pearls brought by Qing Dynasty officials.
"Hey, three young ladies, don't miss it since you're passing by, I have a few treasures here that you can't see anywhere else......"
The stall owner's saliva was obviously convincing, Jiang Caijing dozed off, Murong Xianxian directly thought that he was a wild donkey and farted, only Tu Xuan looked at the stall owner with some admiration...... This girl is so good at talking, she squirts so much saliva, and she doesn't have a thirsty expression at all. ”
"Xian Xian, you look at it first, I'll go take a turn. ”
Jiang Caijing was really depressed, she looked at those porcelain and other 'antiques' a little dizzy, in her opinion, according to the stall owner, the goods on this stall are all antiques, and the price is not expensive. Although she is not very good at it, she also knows that there is absolutely no such reason. Anyway, with Murong Xianxian staring here, she simply slipped away.
"There you go. ”
Murong Xianxian replied casually, she was squatting there holding a large vase to look at it, and she didn't hear what Jiang Caijing said clearly at all.
"You've got a good eyesight. This is the blue and white porcelain of the Qianlong Dynasty, and it is worth your weight to keep it......" The vendor said a lot.
"How much?" Murong Xianxian interrupted him, if he was left to play, he would not be able to prepare dinner here.
"One price, forty thousand. The vendor had a hemorrhagic expression.
"You're not afraid of broken teeth, aren't you?"
Murong Xianxian rolled her eyes, turned over the bottom of the bottle, and pointed to the words at the bottom of the bottle: "This is a simplified word." Do you recognize it?"
"Yes. The stall owner nodded innocently.
"Then I'll give you some knowledge. ”
Murong Xianxian: "The simplified character began to be called for in the twenties of the twentieth century, but the final large-scale implementation was after the fifties. Is it difficult that the master who burned porcelain for Qianlong is also a figure who has traveled through history?"
"Uh...... Haha, this one is also wrong, it seems that I was also fooled, and I will go back to settle accounts with the guy who cheated me, which is fortunately found by you, otherwise I would have suffered a loss. The stall owner's face was a little scornful, but people like him still have a strong ability to adjust their mentality. Immediately, a smile appeared on his face, "You're looking at something else, I'll introduce you......"
"Excuse me. ”
Murong Xianxian shook his head. This is going to be introduced to him again, and you don't want to introduce her to the ditch?
"My Persian cat broke the bowl and found an old one...... Hey, this is quite suitable, it's not black, and it's not big or small, that's it. Murong Xianxian casually took out a large black porcelain bowl from the stall and said.
"This one, it's black porcelain...... You give two thousand dollars, and this bowl is taken away. The stall owner said a little listlessly.
"Boss, are you looking for me to be happy?"
Murong Xianxian was unhappy: "I spent 2,000 yuan to buy a cat food bowl." Whether I'm sick or you're sick, five dollars at most. ”
"Miss, what are you kidding, how can there be such a bargain? I have all antiques here. Eighteen hundred, no less. The stall owner put on a look that he would never be accommodating.
"It's all antiques?"
Murong Xian squinted at him: "Just that simplified word ancient attack?"
"Ahem......" The stall owner was choked and coughed, and it took him half a day to blush. A little angry, he said, "Are you going to threaten me?"
"Wrong!"
Murong Xian smiled and corrected: "I'm just threatening you!"
"You ......"
The stall owner was so angry that he 'you' for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Take ten yuan away." ”
"Ten dollars?"
Murong Xianxian frowned: "Just such a bowl, forget it, ten yuan is ten yuan." ”
Reluctantly, she took out ten yuan and handed it to the stall owner.
"Alas!"
The stall owner sighed...... This ten yuan is not enough to even take a taxi, but fortunately, a coarse porcelain bowl is not worth anything, and no one cares about it for three or four months. In fact, everyone knows that it is impossible for the goods on every stall to be antiques, but this problem of 'simplifying antiques' is too much of a joke, and if it spreads, even peers will leave a laughing stock.
Today is a good day...... Murong Xianxian really wanted to play a song, but thinking that this thing was not his own, he thought about it for a while. However, with this thing in hand, it can avoid Jiang Caijing's verbosity.
Someone said, what's so great about a big porcelain bowl?
Yes, black porcelain, white porcelain, blue and white porcelain are nothing remarkable, the key is that this porcelain is extraordinary, it is Longshan black pottery.
China's porcelain appeared in the Neolithic Age, and the earliest one was red pottery. Red pottery appeared the earliest in China, the firing temperature of red pottery is about 900 degrees, according to archaeological excavation data, the Peiligang culture of 8,000 years ago in the Yellow River Basin and the Yangshao culture and Dawenkou culture period of 5,000 years ago are mainly clay red pottery and sand red Chu pottery.
The black pottery appeared in the Longshan culture period. The firing temperature of black pottery is about 1000 degrees, and there are three kinds of black pottery: fine mud, mud and sand, among which the thin clay thin-walled black pottery zuò has the highest level, and it has the reputation of 'black as lacquer and thin as paper'. The clay of this kind of black pottery has been washed, wheeled, the thickness of the tire wall is only 0.5-1 mm, and then polished, fired into pitch black and bright, it is called "eggshell pottery", and the table xiàn has amazing skills, and it is well-known at home and abroad. The black pottery of this period is mostly polished on the plain surface, and there are fewer with ornamentation, and there are several kinds of string patterns, scratches, and perforations.
Murong Xianxian is not good at archaeology, but he knows a lot of knowledge in ceramics, which is mainly practiced under Zhu Guoen's ears and eyes, if it is compared with other ancient cultural relics knowledge, it will be much worse.
And she knows one more thing...... There are thousands of museums in the world today, but there are less than seven museums that can store black pottery. I heard that two years ago, the famous Garters auction house auctioned a black clay pot and sold it for 5.4 million Hong Kong dollars, and the price of this pottery bowl will definitely not be lower than that one.
Modern collectors are looking for it in every possible way, and it is an honor to collect a piece of Longshan black pottery, so there is absolutely no problem for Jiang Caijing to use it as a gift.
After the transaction, when Murong Xianxian was about to go to find Jiang Caijing, Jiang Caijing didn't know where to come from, and she seemed to be holding an ancient jade in her hand.
"Cousin, it's really worth this trip today, I'll show you. Murong Xianxian snickered alone for a while, and when she saw the main master coming, of course she wanted to show off, grabbed her, and showed her the pottery bowl.
Jiang Caijing saw that Murong Xianxian was talking mysteriously, so she looked at it carefully...... At this glance, he was greatly disappointed, and said with a disdainful face: "Cut! What is so beautiful about a black and black stoneware bowl, I thought you were holding a cornucopia." ”
"Double-word cut!"
Murong Xianxian showed even greater disdain for someone: "Cousin, this pottery bowl is still a cornucopia......
Teaching people tirelessly, Murong Xianxian is not as knowledgeable as Jiang Caijing, and proudly told the origin and value of Longshan black pottery, looking at her eyes shining, her heart was extremely satisfied...... The satisfaction brought by this kind of stall leak detection is something that ordinary people can't experience, and the beauty is not enough to talk to outsiders.
"Is it as mysterious as you say?" Jiang Caijing was a little unconvinced, she couldn't see anything strange about this pottery bowl.
"You know what?"
Murong Xian glanced at her, shook his head and said: "I have a treasure bowl, which has been locked by dust for a long time, and once it is gone, it is worth a huge amount of Hong Kong dollars!"
"What kind of mess, you shouldn't be being shot in the eye, right?" Jiang Caijing asked.
"I'm still smashing my head!"
Murong Xianxian and the others were now far away from the 'simplified character antique' stall, but in order to avoid trouble, she still pulled Jiang Caijing and walked a few steps quickly, and then said, "If you don't believe it, go back and see." Tu Xuan, you go to the shop next to you to find out if there is any selling tung oil and white gauze...... Well, you're fine, right?"
"Yes. Tu Xuan agreed, turned and left.
"Hey, Xian Xian, what do you think of this ancient jade I bought?" asked Murong Xian Xian.
Ancient jade?
Murong Xianxian looked at the jade in her hand that looked like a stone...... She didn't understand this piece of jade in other places, but there was a trace of residual yin qi wrapped around it, and it was really an ancient jade.
"Cousin, how much did you spend on this piece of ancient jade?" asked Murong Xianxian.
"It's not much, twenty thousand. Jiang Caijing said.
"It's not expensive, if you want to sell it, it's worth at least a dozen or two hundred thousand. However, "
She paused slightly: "You don't use this as a birthday gift." ”
"Why?" Jiang Caijing couldn't understand.
"Do you know where this ancient jade is usually placed?" asked Murong Xianxian.
"I don't know, it's physically worn, right?" Jiang Caijing wasn't sure.
"It's on the body, but it's not worn, it's stuffed into the body. Murong Xianxian said.
"Uh......"
Jiang Caijing suddenly had a feeling of vomiting, of course she knew that this was not intended to be stuffed somewhere. (To be continued) RQ
