Yu Yao walked to the door of Gegu Zhai, "Ahh

"Who's scolding me behind my back?"

"I'm scolding you. Where have you been? I've been waiting for a long time!" Pu Jie walked out of the lake pen shop next door, still holding a scroll of water writing cloth in his hand.

"Go and take down the bronze statue of Zhao Gongming. Yu Yao opened the store, went in with Pu Jie, and closed the door again.

Pu Jie put the calligraphy on the table, Yu Yao lowered his voice and smiled, "You still practice calligraphy like you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, the boss and the lady are in the store. I'm waiting for you in someone's store, I'm embarrassed to sit down, and I only spent thirty yuan. ”

"I'll give you two keys later, one for the roller shutter and one for the gate, and I'll open them myself." Yu Yao said.

"Hmm. Pu Jie lit a cigarette, "What about the bronze statue, how much did you get it?"

"Two hundred thousand. ”

"What? It's so high? I don't understand the price!"

"I didn't understand it, but I sat on the ground and started the price. I went to the store and talked to him for a long time, but in the end it was not 190,000. However, I don't have to pay for it. ”

"What's going on? Why do I get more confused the more I listen?"

Yu Yao said the cause and effect, Pu Jie was happy, "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, I will say that you are confused." ”

"I'm really not confused. Send it to auction, there are pros and cons, but the receiving price is so high, and people are willing to advance money, the pros still outweigh the disadvantages. ”

"Well, that's it. Pu Jie took a puff of his cigarette, "I said, there is another deal!"

"The young man has been very diligent lately!"

"It's stressful to follow your boss Yu. Pu Jie said, "That's the case, there is an old house in the east of the city, and the old man lives alone; a few days ago, the old man left the family, and the two sons almost fought when they divided the family property······!

Yu Yao heard it, "The house and things left by the old man are not easy to divide, is this going to be sold for a penny?"

"Not really. But I got the news too late. The old man liked to collect a lot of things when he was alive, but now the large items are sold, I made an appointment to go this afternoon, and I heard that there are still some small pieces. ”

"What are you going to do after being picked by someone? Let me tell you, not only are the big items gone, but the small ones are also the remaining goods. ”

"It's better than nothing, right? ”

"If there are dates, there are no dates. Yu Yao looked at Pu Jie, "Anyway, you also struggled." ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two came to a courtyard in the east of the city. The courtyard is not big, there are four main rooms, two left and right wings, and a small gatehouse. In addition to this courtyard, there is also a small area of old buildings of the Republic of China around.

At the gate of the small courtyard, Yu Yao and Pu Jie had not yet entered when they saw two men walking out. One man was carrying a bag in his hand, and the other was directly holding a small plate with bean green glaze in his hand, his face excited.

Walking to the door, the excited man shone the small plate of bean green glaze to the sun, and couldn't help but smile at the man next to him, "I've picked up the leak now, this Kangxi thing is good, you can see the clam light in front of the sun!"

The other man glanced at Yu Yao and Pu Jie, gave them a look, and the two stopped talking and hurried away.

The bottom of this small plate is indeed the blue and white double-circle regular script "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty", but Pu Jie and Yu Yao both shook their heads.

Pu Jie then smiled and said, "These two mallets! Clam light is only available on colored porcelain, what do you say about clam light when you make a monochrome glazed plate!"

The so-called clam light is a kind of film produced on the surface of the glaze color, which generally takes at least several decades to oxidize and gradually thicken over time. How to look at it, facing the light, looking sideways, a bit like the colorful feeling on the inner wall of the clam shell, mainly produced around the color material.

Yu Yao said, "Clams just talk nonsense, the key is that this plate is not Kangxi's." ”

"Huh? You can see that, too?"

"Monochrome glaze is one of the most accomplished porcelain in the Kangxi Dynasty, just now he was to the light, I took a look, the glaze is definitely not right. ”

"New job! This old man has such a vision?"

"It's not a new job, Guangxu imitates Kangxi, and it doesn't look like an official kiln. It's an old thing, and it's fun to play. ”

"Damn, you're getting dragging now!"

The two walked into the courtyard, and there was a grape trellis in the middle, and a large vat under the shelf, in which goldfish were raised. The doors of the main house and the side rooms were open, and it seemed that they were basically empty.

In the main room, there is a simple folding table in the center, and there are two middle-aged men, a fat and a thin, sitting next to them.

There were also two men in the hall, one in his thirties and forties, and the other in his fifties, looking at something on a simple folding table.

Pu Jie stepped forward to say hello to the fat man, and the fat man said, "That's all left, let's watch it together." ”

On the folding table, there were a pair of dusters and a snuff bottle with a picture inside; in addition, the man in his thirties and forties picked up a white jade card and looked at it; and the man in his fifties picked up a large blue and white bowl that had been placed on the table and looked at the bottom.

In addition, next to the folding table, there is a large cabinet, the four corners are equipped with auspicious cloud copper ornaments, and the lock above the front is also auspicious cloud pattern.

Pu Jie looked at the duster first. The duster, as the name suggests, is used to put a duster, which is relatively tall, with a thin neck and a large belly. This pair of dusters is very complete, a picture of pastel landscapes.

Pu Jie looked at Yu Yao for a while, and Yu Yao put down the snuffbox in his hand and shook his head slightly.

This pair of dusters is from the Republic of China, and the craftsmanship is not good, especially the paintings, and the landscape pattern is very awkward.

The snuff bottles that Yu Yao has seen are also average, they are things from the foreign exchange earning period in the fifties and sixties of the last century, and the painting is rigid, a bit like assembly line work.

The man with the white jade card began to ask the brothers for the price, and the brothers didn't know whether they understood or not, whether they were looking for someone to palm, but they were all confident, and they opened their mouths to be 30,000.

The man began to bargain, and in the last one he bought it, and the two of them fell nine thousand.

At this time, the man in his fifties put down the big bowl in his hand and sighed, it seemed that he didn't like it.

The thin man among the brothers said to him, "That big mahogany cabinet is not bad, don't be stupid, good thing!"

The man in his fifties smiled, "How can there be mahogany painted!"

The brothers were stunned, it seemed that they really didn't understand.

Mahogany, now has two meanings. One meaning is a category, such as red sandalwood, pear, red sour branch, wenge, etc., which are all categories of mahogany. Another meaning, referring to the red sour branch, when talking about the old mahogany, is often this.

No matter which meaning it is, the lacquer of mahogany is a snake to add to the painting, because the material itself is often fine and not easy to deform, and many of them also have patterns, at most they are oiled and maintained.
