Chapter 363: A Good Show
Pu Jie pulled Yu Yao and whispered, "I was in a hurry to urinate just now, so it's convenient to find a place." When I was done, I saw that you were still talking, so I walked along and found this thing, how about you take a look?"
There were several people around, Yu Yao couldn't get closer, so he looked at it for a while, feeling like something from the Tongguang period of the late Qing Dynasty.
During the Tongzhi and Guangxu periods, there was "Tongguang Zhongxing", known as the last return of feudal society, and the economy improved and developed slightly, which was also related to the economic invasion of the West after the Opium War.
However, the porcelain of the Tongguang period, the best official kiln, is not the year name, but the hall name related to Cixi, such as the "body and hall system", "Chuxiu palace system", "Le Shoutang system" and so on.
In fact, the earliest name of the Tongzhi Emperor was not "Tongzhi", but "Qixiang"; however, Cixi and Prince Gong joined forces to launch the Xinyou coup, which opened the curtain of the two palaces to listen to the government, and "co-govern" with the emperor, so the era name was changed to "Tongzhi".
The official kiln of the Tongguang period basically has no artistry at all, and it is fired according to a fixed pattern.
About 30 years earlier, Tongzhi and Guangxu official kilns, in the market old players are disdainful; buy a Qing three generations of things, bargaining a little bit of a small gap, the owner may be easy to take a Guangxu thing, maybe the players are not willing to want.
However, this is talking about general products, not high-quality products. And now it's different, the official kiln of the late Qing Dynasty is also an official kiln, and such things are not easy to touch.
In addition to Cixi's hall number, there is also a category of official kiln products in the Tongguang period, that is, the porcelain customized by Tongzhi and Guangxu at the wedding.
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there were ten emperors, four of whom were married in the Forbidden City; Among them, there are Tongzhi and Guangxu, and the other two are Shunzhi and Kangxi.
This alum red color double dragon play bead plate, the more Yu Yao looks at it, the more he feels good. At this time, the bargainers turned over again, and Yu Yao saw the bottom money, red color regular script: the Guangxu year of the Qing Dynasty.
Pu Jie couldn't help but ask again at this time, "How is it?"
"I'm afraid we don't have a chance to make a move!" Yu Yao responded. This big plate, Yu Yao can't be completely sure if he doesn't get started, but he vaguely feels that it should be a customized official kiln at Guangxu's wedding. However, there are still people who have already taken the lead in talking.
Moreover, I don't know how much money the stall owner is willing to pay.
The stall owner is an old man, with a square face and a very stable appearance. There was also a young man sitting next to him, like a grandchild, watching the stall together.
The one holding this big plate in his hand right now is a middle-aged man who cleans up neatly, his hair is combed neatly, and he speaks softly:
"Uncle, it's almost the New Year, don't bite it, it's real, right?"
The old man was not in a hurry or impatient, "You don't have to worry about selling good things at any time, you can't even watch and talk for more than ten minutes." 500,000 is the last price. I just got it, and I brought it to the big set, and it's almost the New Year, otherwise I will send it to the big store in the city!"
This Guangxu official kiln alum red color double dragon play bead plate, if it is genuine, 500,000 is indeed not expensive, even if it is an old player, you can see about 600,000 market.
If Yu Yao had this thing in his hand, he would probably send it to the auction to try his luck. Because the official kiln of Guangxu's wedding is very popular with some nouveau riche, it is really lucky, and it is not impossible to fry more than one million.
It's just that this is on the stall of the antique market, 500,000 things, even if you have eyesight, you will be cautious.
In the end, the middle-aged man let go.
However, there was no scrambling scene among the people around him, only a young man asked the price again. The stall owner still insisted on the reserve price of 500,000 yuan.
The young man hesitated for a moment, but did not ask for it. The other onlookers didn't get started, only one stayed by the stall to watch things, and the others dispersed. I didn't go far after I dispersed, so I walked around the stalls nearby.
Yu Yao felt that something was wrong, there were two or three onlookers, like a nursery. However, now that he has come, he still wants to take a look at this big market.
Squatting down, Yu Yao nodded at the old man, and then took the plate with both hands and looked at it carefully.
Pu Jie also squatted next to him.
The original onlookers did not come back. Even if it was a nursery, with Yu Yao next to them just now, it would be impossible for them to repeat their old tricks.
However, not long after Yu Yao watched it, the man who had mixed with the little washer of the brother kiln and borrowed fire from Pu Jie came over, but he didn't see the woman who was eating with him.
The two of them squatted down next to Pu Jie, and the man didn't pretend not to know each other this time, and spoke directly, "Ouch, friend, such a coincidence!"
Pu Jie glanced at him, mumbled, and turned his head again.
At this time, Yu Yao had already finished reading it, and asked the old man for the price with a smile, but the old man was still the same, and it was not okay to lose 500,000 yuan.
Yu Yao glanced at the man who had just arrived, intentionally or unintentionally, and then put down the big plate, and then glanced at the other things on the stall.
As soon as Yu Yao let go, the man said, "Since this friend doesn't want it, make a room, I'll take a look, this plate is big, I'm afraid there will be a mistake when I take it." ”
"You please. Yu Yao got up without hesitation, moved to Pu Jie's side, and picked up a blue and white bowl, which was also a porcelain with the Guangxu official kiln, and it looked okay.
The man looked at it for a while, his face was excited, and he said in a low voice: "Big wedding porcelain!"
said it was a low voice, but in fact, the volume was enough for Yu Yao and Pu Jie to hear.
When Yu Yao put down the blue and white bowl, the man was already bargaining, and he still didn't give up a penny for 500,000 yuan. However, the man's hesitation was very short, and he actually took out his mobile phone to transfer money on the spot.
"Give me a good bag, the plate is too big!" the man said to the old man.
"Don't worry. The old man carefully took the plate and put it on a newspaper behind the large suitcase next to him, and let the young man next to him guard the stall while he was busy in the back.
At this time, Yu Yao stood up, Pu Jie looked at him with some doubts, but Yu Yao's eyes pointed to the man, and then waved his hand, signaling Pu Jie not to ask first.
"Okay, didn't you say you'll go back with me when you go to the bathroom?" a crisp sound sounded, and the woman who was eating with the man in the snack shed appeared.
"Ah, daughter-in-law, didn't you say that you would wait for me at the city gate?" the man looked frightened.
Yu Yao glanced at Pu Jie and turned around to leave, but Pu Jie pulled Yu Yao, smiled, and whispered, "I understand." Since it's a good show, let's take a look, it won't be delayed for a few minutes!"
Yu Yao thought about it again, he really hadn't seen the bottom of the Tao here, and if he didn't continue to mix, it would be fine, so he complied with Pu Jie's wishes.
