Chapter 87: The Quadrangular Gourd
Then, the two left each other's contact information and walked out together.
Yu Yao introduced it, exchanged names, Yu Yao also said that they would eat together at noon, but Xiao Ying said that there were still some things that needed to be implemented, so he left first.
After Xiao Ying left, Pu Jie couldn't wait to open his mouth, "Who is he?"
Yu Yao had already thought about it just now, if Yu Jie didn't tell Pu Jie at all, it would be inappropriate, and if Yu Gong leaked the ghost eye door and the six words, it would not be appropriate.
He even mentioned that he had gotten a grimace to spend money, and gave a brief introduction to it in general, but it was remodeled.
The general content is: this set of grimaces spends money, is a token of an antique guild in the Qing Dynasty, this guild is good at identification, gathered a group of capable people, and has several branches. Later, during the Republic of China, it was disbanded due to the turmoil, but it is likely that each has its own descendants to inherit.
For example, I inadvertently got this one with all five lines of characters, which is a token of the head of the guild, and the one with fire characters held by Zhong Qiansu is the token of the person in charge of the ceramic branch.
And Xiao Ying, who met just now, also has one. He is a descendant of the head of the Feng Shui Society.
As soon as Yu Yao said this, Pu Jie's interest immediately dropped greatly, "Hey, I thought there would be some secrets like treasures! Isn't it just that the masters in the circle are entertaining themselves! This grimace costs money, which is equivalent to a VIP work card." ”
"That's kind of what it means. ”
Pu Jie said again, "Feng Shui will be, to put it nicely, it's the work of robbing tombs and digging gold, right?"
"Not exactly, this person is not small, you were 'hypnotized' by him in the Antique Art City, do you know?"
"What?" Pu Jie patted his head, "No wonder I feel a little strange, and then you seem to be familiar with him immediately!"
"I haven't seen it before, but I'll make it clear, you're going to be fine. In short, now that I know, if I encounter a similar person in the Xuanmen in the future, it is better to provoke less. ”
"Well, I've also heard that Xuanmen has always existed among the people. So, because he had some special sense, he found out that you had a grimace on you, and he found you? Is this a special sense, he wants to spend money on this grimace to get it back?"
"This antique guild has already dispersed, and he is not the heir of the head of the chief, what are you going to do back?"
"The word in charge sounds awkward, if it was in the Qing Dynasty, people should be called the chief helmsman, just like Chen Jinnan of the Heaven and Earth Society. ”
"What a mess, just like that, just make it clear. Yu Yao then added, "Xiao Ying will come this time, and it will also be because of Zhong Qiansu's disappearance, after all, the ancestors had a relationship before." He inquired that the owner of Hongbaotang had contacted Zhong Qiansu before, so he came to ask. ”
"Okay, I see. It's a bit of a shame that there aren't big treasures, though. Pu Jie took out a cigarette and lit it, "What, since the two of them are busy with this matter, you, who are halfway home, will return the hot 'fire money' to Zhong Yubei?"
Yu Yao looked at the time, "I don't think there's a need to rush for a while, you can wait and see." It's time for dinner, let's have lunch first, since we've come to the Antique Art City, let's go shopping in the afternoon?"
"What are you thinking about?" Pu Jie looked at Yu Yao, "Forget it, I picked up Jingkang, I'm in a good mood, and I can stay for two more days." I'm so hungry. ”
The two found a fast food restaurant nearby for a quick meal, and then returned to the antique art city.
When they went up to the third floor, they saw that Hongbaotang had closed the door. Pu Jie didn't care about Feng Zhaohong's life or death, but squinted his eyes and thought in reverie, "When do I have a golden-topped incense burner from the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty!"
"There's a chance. Yu Yao smiled and pointed diagonally to the opposite side, "Eh, look, there's a 'Jin Ding Xuan' there, it's a conversation, let's go and see it first?"
"Let's go!"
Jin Ding Xuan is a small shop, the store is not big, and the store is not mainly gold and bronze ware, but very miscellaneous, which is a bit similar to the Gegu Zhai that Yu Yao had not cleaned before.
The owner of Jin Dingxuan is a man with a very well-trimmed beard, and he is alone in the store when he looks in his thirties and less than forty.
"What do you like, whatever you like. ”
"Hey, boss, your shop is complete enough!" Pu Jie said.
"I smiled. I'm just trying to do it. The boss was very talkative, "I used to be a player, and this store was used to offset the account, and I didn't have to pay rent, so I simply opened it to hide and raise Tibet." Rest assured, the price is definitely cheaper than other stores!"
Yu Yao said, "I see. At first glance, I thought that Jin Dingxuan was a gold and bronze ware!"
"Seeing and laughing again, I called Jin Ding, added a Xuan character casually, and formed the name of the store. ”
"It turned out to be Boss Kim. Let's see for ourselves first. Yu Yao didn't say anything more and looked at it.
If there are many things in the store, it will make people feel that there are no good things. Indeed, there are not many large items in this store, most of them are small gadgets, and there are few ceramic things in the antique city of the porcelain capital.
However, it is also easy for people to be interested in watching slowly.
Yu Yao found a pen holder in the corner of the shelf.
This pen holder is red and yellow, the mouth and inside are inlaid with purple and black material, and the outside of the pen holder has a flower pattern of entwined branches.
This is made by cutting the inlay with a gourd.
The reason why Yu Yao was able to notice this pen holder was because it was square. Common gourds, even if cut, can only cut out an arc.
At the same time, the surface of this pen holder does not have the slightest trace of splicing. Obviously, this special square shape was finally produced by using a mold during the growth of the gourd.
There are a lot of players today, most of them are small cultural gourds, and they are played in their hands. Of course, it is not just a matter of picking it off and playing with it, it requires a series of processes such as skinning and drying. After playing, the color of the gourd skin will turn from yellow to red, shiny and moist, which is very pleasing to the eye.
The gourd is homophonic Fulu, and the lip gloss is also better.
The production process of this pen holder is even more complicated, and the setting time and replacement of the mold alone require extremely high skill. Moreover, the entwined flower pattern on the surface of the gourd is also molded, and it is difficult to imagine that it is clear and smooth.
This kind of gourd utensil is different from the simple archetypal play gourd, and is called a pao device.
The most common folk gourd and cricket gourd, which are mostly made by molding, are generally inlaid with tooth horn texture or good wood mouth, and will be equipped with a top cover.
Nowadays, many players, when they find the old gourds and cricket gourds, naturally they will not really use them to raise insects, but to play with them. Many of the things in the genre have evolved from utility. For example, the wrench was originally used for archery with a bow, and eventually became a pure plaything and accessory.
But this square gourd pen holder is by no means an ordinary folk pottery.
