Chapter 215 Ming Dynasty Huanghuali Rosewood Comes with a Few Sets
"It is good to practice calligraphy and self-cultivation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Xiao Zhang, which calligraphy do you practice?"
Zhang Nan's praise caught Zhang Nan off guard: he practiced calligraphy, and he wrote calligraphy in elementary school in elementary school!
Now I almost forget how to hold the pen.
"Hehe, blind practice, blind practice. It's that I got a piece of land at home and wanted to build a Chinese-style garden, and the shortcomings were furnished. In the first half of the year, I bought some in the cultural relics store in Shanghai, but it is estimated that it is not enough at all, these two painting tables are good, and they can be used.
And I also bought a former Qing Baylor Mansion in the capital, which will be being repaired, and if you don't have a little bit to fill the old furniture, it will be an empty shell, and now the furniture factory exports those that don't look good. ”
Hurry up and divert the topic: Half a bucket of water for my calligraphy and painting is largely due to this one's own bad brush words!
I don't have the talent for calligraphy or painting at all.
When Nong Bosheng heard about the garden and Baylor Mansion, he said, "How many courtyards are still kept?"
It was Baylor House that asked.
"I had the garden and all the houses restored to their original appearance, except for the bedrooms, which were renovated into modern interiors, and the living rooms were restored to the same as before. ”
"The foundation of the Qing Baylor Mansion is six feet high, with three main entrances and one open door. The hall houses are five-layered, each wide and five-room, all of which are made of tube tiles. There are two types of ridges: lion and seahorse. The door and pillar are decorated with red and green oil, and the beams and buildings are gilded, and the flowers and plants are painted.
Now there are several palaces in the capital, and as far as I know, there were only three places left in the Baylor Mansion in 59, and there were still missing arms and legs. If you can find a complete one, it is estimated that the whole country will not be able to come up with a second one!"
Zhang Nan smiled, "Luck, I met by chance..."
After talking about the purchase of Baylor Mansion, Nong Bosheng shouted luck: If it doesn't fall into the hands of Zhang Nan, a large area of housing will be demolished if he is not careful!
"Much, how big are you going to build that garden, what style?"
"Soviet-style, imitating the Ming Dynasty, just like the one in the Dream of Red Mansions, up to 50 acres. I have more than 100 acres of land, and the other half is going to be made into a European-style manor. ”
Nong Bosheng thought for a while and said: "Then you have to prepare well, now some antique furniture is so expensive that it is dead, and a lot of craftsmanship is saved, so it deceives foreigners and overseas Chinese, and only cares about earning foreign exchange." ”
The antique furniture he said is those state-run factories: the process is old, but the output of the traditional craft cannot be maintained before, and now it is not that taste after the process is improved, so Zhang Nan can't look down on it.
"Such Xiao Zhang, I will give you a few sets of furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a full set, you see how Huanghuali and Rosewood are, I will give you two or three sets of each. ”
When Zhang Nan heard this, he couldn't believe it!
"The Ming Dynasty has a full set?
Big brother, don't tease me!
Nong Bosheng's expression was very confident, "This is Yongcheng, the place where the big businessmen and the most wealthy people in China before the liberation of China can be one of them."
When I was 32 years old, I became the director of the Revolutionary Committee, and I took charge of this area, copying countless mansions and ancestral homes of old bureaucrats and capitalists. This will say that if I can make you ten sets of eight sets of Huanghuali Ming Dynasty furniture, then I brag, it is still okay to put together one or two sets.
As for the red sandalwood, it's no problem to make up one set in the Ming Dynasty, and I also have eight sets of ten sets in the Qing Dynasty!"
At this moment, Zhang Nan's eyes when he looked at Nong Bosheng were all starry!
Twenty years later, people dared to open a museum with a few pieces of Huanghuali furniture in the Ming Dynasty.
But think about it, this is Yongcheng! Zhang Nan doubted that Comrade Lao Peasant had led someone to turn Lao Jiang's old family upside down!
In other words: Don't treat the director of the Revolutionary Committee as an official!
"By the way, Director Nong, I heard that you sold several batches of Western porcelain that you copied, why didn't you deal with this old Chinese furniture?"
"Haha, who said it wasn't handled. The miscellaneous wood and ordinary mahogany are all sold to the public, and I don't want to give up the red sandalwood and huanghuali, so they are all hidden.
Then two official hat chairs will be sold for 5 yuan, not talking about the material at all, the red sandalwood and huanghuali will be labored for hundreds, not sold!"
Yes, don't ask more, that's what happened in that era, just know it in your stomach.
In addition to the necessary docents on duty, all the people at home in the exhibition hall gathered and began to move, organize and fight under the unified leadership of the curator.
The Ming Dynasty Huanghuali furniture is complete, that is actually chairs, coffee tables, tables, etc., I have not heard of anyone using Huanghuali as a bed.
But what was surprising was that there was Zhang Ming Dynasty Huanghuali's couch! When he was turned out of the warehouse, Zhang Nan was a little unbelievable!
Although I don't understand wood, but the style of furniture can be seen, this couch is an absolute product of the Ming Dynasty, and even the "late Ming and early Qing Dynasties" do not need to be added.
Here you look for a chair, I look for a coffee table, you look for a cabinet and I look for a table, lively!
Looking at this scene, Zhang Nan simply said: "Director Nong, it's troublesome for me to fight everywhere like this, just move out all the large and small furniture of Huanghuali and Rosewood, as long as it is not damaged, I want it all."
Also, some of the classic furniture of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, as long as the wood and workmanship are good, no matter what material, they will also be moved out and sorted out, and I want it too. ”
What Zhang Nan thought in his heart was: "Huanghuali and red sandalwood! A good pen holder is rare in twenty years, and these things can be used when they are finished in Baylor Mansion next year, not to mention the big yard here in Yan County, everything you need will be pulled by train!"
Even if you move out more, you can digest it anywhere.
All the staff of the exhibition hall here are mobilized, and seeing that there are more and more furniture at the door of the warehouse that have been moved out temporarily, Zhang Nan is also getting happier and happier in his heart - Huanghuali is on the left, red sandalwood is on the right, and the miscellaneous station is in the middle.
"The weather forecast says it won't rain at night and tomorrow, rest assured. ”
Zhang Nan didn't say whether there would be a problem in this way, but Director Nong first dispelled the worries in his heart.
After thinking about it, he said to Qiu Bo: "You go and call my brother-in-law, a five-ton one is not enough, find a way to transfer two eight-ton semi-trailers as soon as possible, I have to pull furniture." ”
"Okay, boss. ”
Director Nong directly gave him the key to his office, and Qiu Bo immediately went to call.
The finances of the exhibition hall here are also busy, and all the furniture needs to be recorded, and the two researchers set the price, and the director of the agricultural museum is not involved.
However, Zhang Nan was not worried at all: the two researchers had known each other since the meeting in Xiangjiang, and they were both students of the agricultural curator. And I took a look at the pricing - 10 yuan for the Huanghuali pen holder in the early Qing Dynasty, 300 yuan for a pair of official hat chairs and coffee tables in the Ming Dynasty...
