Chapter 562: Yellow Earth Blue and White, Gamble or Don't Bet
"If it's on the pitch, it's hard to say. Yu Yao responded.
"You want to send it to the auction?" Uncle Ghost immediately stretched out his finger and clicked twice, "Two million! Okay, right? Even if it's a big auction, this is a high point." ”
Yu Yao groaned and was silent for a while.
"You're a businessman, and even if you have eyesight, you have to make money. Two million, you don't have to wait for the auction results, and you don't have to waste time to settle the payment, why not?"
"Uncle Ghost, let's do it, you let me think about it, it's been shipped away anyway. Let's get back in touch. ”
Uncle Ghost thought for a while, "Are you in a hurry to leave now?"
"It's not in a hurry, but I really didn't think about it, it's useless to waste time here. ”
"Can you sit down, let me tell you?" said Uncle Ghost, who actually sat down directly on a stone under the tree, and pointed to another stone by the way.
Yu Yao hesitated, but sat down.
Uncle Ghost lit a cigarette, as if talking to himself, "This seated statue of Sakyamuni was originally in the Lotus Temple in the west of this Lotus Village; ”
Yu Yao was going to light a cigarette too, but when he heard this, the fire of the lighter was extinguished again; it turned out that Uncle Ghost knew the bottom line! He asked in detail before, thinking about it just to determine if it was this one.
Uncle Ghost continued, "Of course, I haven't seen it. But I heard an elder talk about it. ”
Yu Yao lit the cigarette again, his heart moved, what he said might be his master Huai Dabiao. However, Huai Dabiao should not be very old at that time, because it has been 80 years since the Japanese invaded and occupied Rudu.
"This senior only met once when he followed his parents to visit relatives in Lotus Village when he was a few years old. But this time, he did something he regretted for the rest of his life. ”
"What can a child at what age be he do?" Yu Yao couldn't help asking.
He slipped into the monastery, and there was no one in the main hall, so he poured a soak of urine on the bronze seated statue. Uncle Ghost sighed, "Although this matter can be regarded as young and ignorant, he has always been obsessed with it." ”
Yu Yao silently took a puff of his cigarette and did not respond.
"This elder is now deceased. Uncle Ghost sighed, "I invited this Buddha to make up for my remorse as an elder." ”
Yu Yaoxin said that this matter sounds true. In this way, not to mention what Uncle Ghost is like, his feelings for Huai Dabiao are indeed very deep.
Uncle Ghost said again, "After please, I plan to reshape the golden body." ”
"It seems that Uncle Ghost has a deep affection for this elder. Yu Yao spoke.
"I shouldn't have told you why I wanted to invite this Buddha, you are the seller, I am the buyer, and when you say that, it becomes a strange thing. Uncle Ghost looked at Yu Yao, "However, although you are young, I feel that you are different from ordinary antique dealers. ”
Yu Yao smiled faintly.
"That's it, let's gamble!" Seeing that Yu Yao still didn't agree immediately, Uncle Ghost actually said so.
"Uncle Ghost, are you so anxious? I said that I would think about it before replying to you, but it doesn't mean that I will definitely refuse. ”
"Do you dare to bet?" Uncle Ghost asked.
"Bet on what?"
"Bet on your eyesight!"
Yu Yao smiled, "If you lose, won't you invite this Buddha?"
"I'm going to lose, I'll add another million to you, three million to please! But if you lose, sell me at my first price, 1.5 million. Uncle Ghost dusted off his cigarette ashes, "Even if it's one and a half million, that's higher than the market price, and you won't lose anything." ”
"What do you gamble with?"
Uncle Ghost squinted, reached into the inner pocket of his coat, took out a piece of porcelain that was slightly smaller than the palm of his hand and had smooth polished edges, and held it in his hand, "How about this?"
"Porcelain tiles?"
"Hmm. After you look at this porcelain, you can still have a choice, that is, if you don't gamble, I can still pay two million. ”
"Who said I only have one choice?" Yu Yao waved his hand, "I can sell it to you." ”
"You won't. ”
"Oh?"
"I mean, you don't want to gamble. Because, without thinking, you blurted out and asked me what I gambled with, and when I took out the porcelain, your eyes lit up!" Uncle Ghost said, his fingers clasped and covered the porcelain.
This piece of porcelain, Yu Yao had already seen it just now.
This is a piece of blue and white porcelain on a yellow ground.
In fact, Uncle Ghost's so-called gambling is nothing more than adding a million chips, which is not very attractive to Yu Yao.
But the appeal of this piece of porcelain is great!
Yellow ground blue and white is a special variety in blue and white ware, or it is the product of the combination of high temperature underglaze color and low temperature yellow glaze;
High temperature and low temperature are relative, the high temperature is 1300 degrees, and the low temperature is only lower than this, but it is also as high as 800 degrees or more, and generally does not exceed 900 degrees.
This kind of yellow ground blue and white was founded in the Xuande Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty; in the Ming Dynasty, the two dynasties of Chenghua and Hongzhi had the largest amount of firing; in the Qing Dynasty, the amount of Kang Yongqian and the three dynasties was not small.
Among them, the oldest and rarest is naturally the Xuande official kiln yellow ground blue and white.
Generally speaking, yellow ground blue and white is more expensive than regular blue and white ware. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was even a forgery method of hanging yellow glaze on Xuande blue and white porcelain. It is impossible for this kind of thing to happen now, because the genuine products of Xuande blue and white are rare now.
Yu Yao only glanced at it a few times in Uncle Ghost's hand, and it was definitely impossible to see through it, but he vaguely felt that this piece of blue and white porcelain on the yellow ground was very similar to the Xuande official kiln!
The yellow glaze on the porcelain tiles is moist, and the blue and white pattern has only two auspicious clouds. This is just a piece of porcelain, and it is impossible to determine what the original overall pattern was, but judging from the size of the porcelain piece, it should be the center of the plate, and it is not in the center, because the auspicious clouds are small, not like the main picture, but the edge around the main picture.
Uncle Ghost has already covered this piece of porcelain, and he can't continue to look at it, and he can't do it if he doesn't get started.
Yu Yao lit another cigarette, "Even if it's a gamble, just the two of us, how can we judge?"
"Am I like an unreasonable person? You convince me that I don't cheat. Moreover, this piece of porcelain, I have been studying it for so long, and nothing will go wrong. ”
After a pause, Uncle Ghost shook his hand, "If you are right, that is, you win, I will add another one, and this piece of porcelain can also be given to you!"
Yu Yao didn't really care if he wanted this piece of porcelain; after all, it wasn't a whole vessel, with his thoughts, the collection was a little chicken-ribbed; the key was that he wanted to get started and see it clearly.
"I didn't expect Uncle Ghost to carry this kind of thing with him. ”
"It's a coincidence. How could I have thought that I would run into you, and after I met you, I would have to rely on this method!" Uncle Ghost explained, "I got this porcelain piece from the Wa Kingdom, and it was originally inlaid on an interstitial screen; ”
