The stall owner is talking about the clichés used by people who run the rivers and lakes, and how to deal with it has its own charter, and outsiders really don't know how to answer. This "outsider" is not just a layman who doesn't know much about antiques, but also refers to those who know a little about antiques, but have never dealt with antique dealers.

The stall owner also asked this to see the details of Zheng Zheng, to see if he was a collector with a single eye, or a peer who knew a lot about this industry.

Zheng Zheng's learning can be said to be derived from family tradition, and Zheng Zheng also knows this kind of set of words, although it has not come in handy before, but it is still firmly remembered in his heart. He smiled at the stall owner and said, "The waves in the river are fast, the water in the river is deep, and I have never held up the boat or helmed it." I used to drive a car for someone, and now although the reins are still in my hand, I am already roaming around on horseback, but this horse has a groove and I have a bowl, and a place to eat and settle. ”

"Brother, you are young and promising, not bad. ”

The stall owner understood what Zheng Zheng meant, complimented Zheng Zheng twice, and said: "I walked in shallow water, although my shoes and socks were wet, I still walked more on the flat ground." Brother (brother), if you have anything to want, you open your mouth and say, the people in our line don't look at these goods on the face. ”

The two of them talked back and forth like a black cut, and Wang Di scratched his head as if he understood what he didn't understand. He touched Song Tang on the side, frowned, and said, "I see that you also know some antiques...... How's that? Can you understand what they're saying?"

Song Tang shook her head slightly, and she said in a low voice: "Although I know a little about antiques, this kind of jargon ...... I don't understand what it means. ”

Saying that, Song Tang glanced at Zheng Zheng deeply, and there was something strange in his eyes.

She used to think that Zheng Zheng was just a young antique dealer who opened a small shop and had some insights into antiques, which was not surprising. But after listening to the conversation between Zheng Zheng and the stall owner, Song Tang felt that he couldn't see the young man in front of him clearly.

Who is this young man who seems to be only in his twenties? How did he come from this kind of jargon in the antique shop? You must know that although Song Tang's Wang Group is involved in antiques, and she herself is an antique collector, she has never heard anyone say what Zheng Zheng said to this stall owner.

Song Tang thought of this, glanced at Zheng Zheng again, and felt that he didn't want to. Although she doesn't dare to say that she has never missed people, her eye for people is also quite powerful, Zheng Zheng does not have the kind of Jianghu gas on people who "run the rivers and lakes", she can still see this.

The ancestor of the family ran into the antique business, and he was a family heirloom? Song Tang thought about it and felt that this was very possible. Although in today's society, the word "family" has no weight, and it is even more difficult to see a real family with inheritance, but Song Tang knows that this statement is not a vain statement. She heard her father talk about several families in the antique shop, although they are not well-known outside, but they have a lot of say in the antique shop. One of them has the same surname as Zheng Zheng, and the surname is Zheng.

However, there is only one person in the Zheng family who is the same age as Zheng Zheng, and that is Sun Zhengbei, the head of the Zheng family, and in addition, there is no second young man in his twenties in the Zheng family. Although Song Tang didn't know that Zheng Bei, he had also seen that Zheng Bei at auctions and banquets in some antique shops, so naturally he would not regard Zheng Zheng as the grandson of the Zheng family.

But it is precisely because of this that Zheng Zheng, who is very likely to be from a family in an antique shop that he doesn't know, makes Song Tang feel that this young man is a little interesting. But it's just "a little interesting", Song Tang is not a young girl, she will be interested in some mysterious people of the opposite sex and even want to understand this man more deeply, and finally let herself fall into it. This kind of brainless vase can only do, Song Tang can't do it.

Zheng Zheng pointed at Song Tang and smiled at the stall owner: "This friend of mine is a little interested in literary play, brother, you should ask her." ”

"Oh......" The stall owner looked at Song Tang and then at Zheng Zheng, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, girl, you can say it." I won't hide it from you in front of my peers. ”

Song Tang smiled gratefully at Zheng Zheng, thought for a moment and then asked softly, "The 'lion head' that is more than twenty years old, do you have it?"

The twenty years that Song Tang said were not twenty years there. But if you say that you play walnuts every day, when you talk about the year, you are talking about the year of playing with the grinding, and if you play for a year or two and then put it for 20 years without touching it, you can't use it to make up the number.

"This ......"

When the stall owner heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, shook his head and said, "It's not easy to find this for twenty years...... Do you know what kind of years and months were there when you counted down to 20 years, who still had the heart to play this thing in those years? Even if you could play it at that time, you can still play it until now? Even if there are those left before New China, they were smashed or copied when they were 'breaking the four olds', and there are too few of them handed down.

This thing is no better than a porcelain painting or something, maybe you can lose it if you are not careful, it is not certain, it is very difficult to keep it well. ”

"But ......" The stall owner looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "I have a pair of lion heads at the bottom of the box, they are in good condition, and they are old things that have been played with for more than fifteen years." In front of this little brother, we don't say dark words, it's hard to say whether this thing has been played with for fifteen years, but there are more than ten years of hard work. If you want to see it, I'll show it to you. ”

The stall owner's words were open, and Zheng Zheng nodded secretly when he listened. Walnuts are no better than other antiques, if they can play with a good condition for thirty or forty years, then they are considered the best, and walnuts that have been played for ten years can also be regarded as top-grade. After all, this thing needs to be played with every day, but how long can a person play with it? Thirty or forty years is about the same, is it possible that it can be passed from father to son and grandchildren from generation to generation? That is unrealistic after all.

"Yes. ”

Song Tang also knew what it meant to play with walnuts for twenty years, and he just did his best to look for them on the black market, and he didn't have much hope. Now the stall owner said that she has been playing with walnuts for about fifteen years, which is different from what she expected, but it can be regarded as a gain.

The stall owner nodded, took out a small cardboard box from the cardboard box on the side, and then took out two dark red walnuts from it, which were packed in a small sealed plastic bag, and it could be seen that the stall owner was also quite attentive to these two walnuts.

"That's it, look. The stall owner handed the two walnuts to Zheng Zheng and Song Tang respectively, and said: "These two walnuts are not only long enough, but also in good condition, and there are no insect scars." Although it is still a lot different from the best walnuts, it is also a rare sight. ”

Zheng Zheng took the walnut in his hand and weighed it, and nodded secretly in his heart, the weight of this walnut is still very reliable. He took out the walnut and held it in his hand, rubbing it slightly on the walnut with his thumb and fingers, feeling the touch of the walnut.

The color of this walnut is very authentic and natural, only by playing with it for a long time, the walnut can become this dark red that is not thick or light, and this color cannot be made artificially. Therefore, it is impossible to say that this walnut is genuine, Zheng Zheng just judged the approximate year of this walnut, and then saw if the oil had been used on the walnut.

"What are you looking at? This thing shouldn't be fake, right?" asked Wang Di with interest.

Zheng Zheng nodded and said: "The thing is true, just to see if this walnut is 'oiled and waxed'." ”

"What do you mean by 'oiling and waxing'? Quickly give me some science, so that Di Shao can turn around and pretend to be forced. ”

"Uh......" Zheng Zheng glanced at Wang Di helplessly and said, "What do you say...... Some walnuts are genuine, but sometimes they choose to coat them with a layer of oil. Because the buyer is not a player, it is impossible to play with a pair of walnuts all the time, so a layer of oil is applied to maintain the luster of the pulp on the surface of the walnuts, so that the walnuts will not lose their moisture because they are not played with for a long time. ”

"This kind of thing is actually nothing, I've seen some players rub oil on the wood when they maintain it. For example, the common "bolted horse pile" on the market, that is, the kind of bracelet commonly known as Bodhi, many players will apply oil to it when maintaining it, in order to make the luster more beautiful. There is nothing wrong with this practice, and the wood used at home will also be oiled and waxed in order to look better. But in the eyes of high-end players, it is a bit of a waste to use this method to play with wood. You must know that woodware, especially walnuts, which have not undergone much processing, are looking for a natural taste. ”

"Yo he?" Wang Di raised his eyebrows and was surprised: "The more you say this, the more mysterious it becomes." ”

Zheng Zheng shook his head, ignored his interruption, and said: "If you talk about it, playing walnuts through their own body temperature, sweat and even spirit makes walnuts change and become introverted, which itself is another fusion of man and nature. ”

"By "oiling" to make the wood more beautiful, this is willing to take the line, but also a little too eager for quick success, because the play of grinding this kind of thing depends on the water grinding work, although there is nothing wrong with oiling and waxing, but it always seems too eager.

Even if you take a step back, although the method of oiling will make walnuts more beautiful and moisturized, after this layer of oil is impregnated into the walnuts, the layer of "divine light introverted" on the surface of walnuts that has been ground for a long time becomes a little dry, and it looks very good-looking, but it is not bearable, and I always feel that there are shortcomings. ”

And the feel of the walnut after this "oiling" will also change, and it will become a little sticky and slippery after playing for a long time. And if you want to remove this layer of oil, it will be troublesome, then you have to spend time and slowly grind to grind off this layer of oil, so that you can repeat the true color. ”

After Zheng Zheng finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Di thoughtfully, and asked, "Can you understand?"

"Yes. Wang Di nodded very dryly and said: "This is the same as Niu'er, although it was very cool at the beginning, but slowly I found that it was not as cool as pure natural." ”

“…… You summed it up perfectly. ”
