Chapter 616: Hutian Kiln

……

"Since it's called a ghost market, it naturally has its origins. That's right, Mr. Guo. I have a few words for you before I go in again. ”

"Excuse me?"

"The ghost market pays attention to 'heroes don't ask where they come from, and babies don't ask where they come from', so no matter what you encounter after you go in, you can bid if you want to, but you can't ask randomly. There is also 'not recruiting people to shine on things', you can go in with a flashlight, you can't take a superhuman face, you can only look at things!"

Guo Shouyun nodded and said, "Is there anything else besides these?"

"It's enough to go in later, don't make a lot of noise. Zhou Ziqi shook his head. Then he handed over a flashlight.

"Mr. Zhou has a heart, but I'm ready!"

He took the flashlight that Matthew handed him over and shook it in his hand.

"I'm doing it too much, let's go!"

Guo Shouyun nodded and followed Zhou Ziqi into the flow of people. Compared to his leisurely stroll, Matthew, who was following behind, was indeed highly nervous. In a place with such a crowded flow of people, the security breach is too big, and the slightest carelessness can lead to danger. If you know that you can't persuade the big boss, you can only be as vigilant as possible.

Not to mention Matthew's nervousness, Guo Shouyun, who knows the most about the security situation in China, is not worried about his safety at all. As soon as he entered the flow of people, he looked around curiously.

The large and small stalls are no different from what he saw in Panjiayuan, porcelain, pottery, calligraphy and painting, ancient books, bronzes, jade carvings, wood carvings and other types, and there are a variety of artworks of different shapes, as long as you can imagine here, you can't think of it here. Of course, true or false is another story.

Although there are a lot of things, Guo Shouyun knows how many catties and taels he has. Come here and look at it, just buy it. With his level of appreciation, ninety percent will be pitted!

But looking at him, I found a very interesting phenomenon. Most of the people who go shopping have eyes and look polite.

After noticing his expression, "Most of the Taobao people who come here are university professors. They have high incomes, higher spiritual pursuits than ordinary people, and know some connoisseurship knowledge, so they are frequent visitors here. However, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer things in the 'new pit', and there are more and more fakes, and the people on Taobao have become mixed!"

"What does Xinkeng mean?" Guo Shouyun noticed a new name.

"It's something that has just been dug out of the tomb, and it's called a 'new pit' in the industry. If it is an object that is inherited in an orderly manner, it is called an 'old pit'. These are all terms handed down by the elders of Chinese antique shops. ”

"I see!"

Guo Shouyun nodded knowingly.

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"

Zhou Ziqi took a few steps forward and squatted down in front of a stall about 3 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. The vast majority of the stalls are porcelain and pottery, with a small number of paintings and calligraphy, and there are many broken porcelain pieces in the right corner.

The stall owner was a man in a thick blue coat, and because he was wearing a mask, his hair was covered by a hat, and the dim lights around him made it impossible to tell his age, let alone his appearance.

When Guo Shouyun looked at the stall, Zhou Ziqi had already taken out a flashlight and looked at a big bowl.

It is a large bowl with a length of about 20 centimeters, oblique straight walls, blue and white glaze, and a child-frolicking and continuous floral pattern inside.

For identification, Guo Shouyun is just getting started. Because I usually like calligraphy, I study more calligraphy and painting, and porcelain, jade and other categories are much worse. At this moment, Zhou Ziqi really had no clue about the name of the big bowl in his hand.

"Boss, let's take a hand!"

The stall owner glanced at Zhou Ziqi and stretched out his right hand. However, while reaching over, he also put a wide, sleeve-shaped thing on his arm.

Zhou Ziqi also put his right hand deep into the sleeve, and outsiders couldn't see the situation inside. Moments later, both sides pulled hands at the same time. Zhou Ziqi didn't care about the bowls on the stall, got up and pulled Guo Shouyun to the side.

"That's it?"

After leaving the stall three meters away with Guo Shouyun, Zhou Ziqi lowered his voice and said, "That bowl just now is the Hutian kiln doll bowl. Hutian kiln, also known as Jing ~ Dezhen kiln, is the largest kiln system in the south of the Song Dynasty, thousands of kilns in the Song Dynasty were fired at the same time, and the kiln fire was all night long. The Hutian kiln is fired using a dragon kiln, with a length of up to 200 meters, and tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain are fired at one time. There is a large number of surviving people to this day. ”

"The largest surviving bowl in the Hutian kiln is a bowl called "sandbag tire", which is extremely poor and can only be used as a burial vessel, and such a bowl is about 100 yuan. If the glaze is good Hutian kiln bowl, the price is higher, according to the quality of the glaze, the degree of art, the degree of carving, printing and decoration, the size, the price ranges from thousands of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. ”

"The Hutian kiln doll bowl just now, the color is like white jade, the peptide glaze is smooth, and the fetal quality is very thin, which is the top grade in the Hutian kiln. Although the amount of firing is large, the price is also more than 50,000 yuan. But it's a pity that it's not a pot, a bottle, a statue and other standing utensils, otherwise the price will be even higher. ”

"Since it's a good thing, why didn't Mr. Zhou take the opportunity to buy it just now?" asked Guo Shouyun.

"The stall owner is obviously a knowledgeable person, too. When he got the hand just now, he asked for 45,000. Although it is less than the market price of this Hutian kiln doll bowl, the profit margin is already very small. In addition, I already have a bowl from the Lake Field kiln in my collection, although the decoration outlined in the bowl is different, but there is no need to pay a high price to buy another one. ”

"I see. By the way, Mr. Zhou just said to take a hand...?"

"Oh, that's a common way to trade in a 'ghost market'. Since ancient times, price has been the most sensitive place in trading, especially in the ghost market, many of the things are newly unearthed, unclean, and the price is different. In order to avoid competition from harming their own interests, stall owners like to join hands when trading. In this way, no matter whether the transaction is successful or not, they will not reveal their reserve price!"

Guo Shouyun nodded clearly, "I don't know how to get a hand...?"

"It was my mistake to forget to tell Mr. Guo this. … Generally speaking, the unit of transaction has a single digit, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, 100,000, and million, but the five commonly used in the antique ghost market are ten, hundred, thousand, 100,000, and 100,000. If the other party knocks on your palm when you start to join hands, it means that what you want is in the unit of ten, and two knocks are in the unit of 'hundred', and so on. If it's ninety, it's 'Knock it in the palm of your hand, and then use your index finger to make a nine', if it's nine hundred, it's 'Strike twice in your palm and then use your index finger to make a nine,' and the same goes for the rest of it. ”

"If it's nine hundred and fifty yuan, isn't it now a gesture of two taps in the palm of the palm, a gesture of nine with the index finger, and then a gesture of 'five' in the palm of the palm?"

"Mr. Guo is really smart, that's it!"

"If there is an agreement between the two sides, how will it be expressed?"

"A handshake, a handshake means agreement. If you refuse, make a fist. ”

"I see, thank you Mr. Zhou for informing me!"

Mr. Guo was polite. By the way, does Mr. Guo have any objects that he is optimistic about?"

"My level of appreciation is not as good as Mr. Zhou's, it's better to see more and buy less in this kind of place!"

"Mr. Guo doesn't have to be too scrupulous. If you want to improve your appreciation, you will inevitably have to pay tuition, and that's how everyone comes here, and so do I! As for the final result, it is secondary to you and me. ”

Everyone is not a person who is short of money, even if it is an eye, how much money can be wasted?

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Let's go ahead and see!"

The two continued to move forward, compared to Zhou Ziqi's frequent shots, Guo Shouyun still watched more. Although he is not short of money, he hates being cheated, so even though he knows that the money he loses is not even a drop in the bucket for him, he still feels a little awkward. The most important thing is that this eye is full of antiques and artworks, and nothing that makes him feel that his eyes are shining appears.

"Huh!"

Just when he thought he was going to get nothing, a somewhat different stall appeared in front of him. Compared with other stalls where porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and jade are mixed, this stall is basically full of books. There are both old-fashioned thread-bound books and modern bound books.

Perhaps because he has been a writer for two lifetimes, Guo Shouyun has different feelings for books.

After striding over and taking a quick look, Guo Shouyun's gaze stayed on the place where the comic book was placed.

Comic strips are also known as comic strips, comic strips, villain books, small books, doll books, etc. It originated from the portrait stone of the Han Dynasty and the Dunhuang murals of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and is an ancient traditional Chinese art that was finally formed after the popularization of printing in the Song Dynasty. Telling stories and portraying characters in successive pictures is a form of popular reading that is suitable for all ages, with a wide range of themes and diverse contents.

In the previous life, Guo Shouyun saw a lot of this kind of comic book when he was a child, "Chicken Feather Letter", "Railway Guerrilla", "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", etc., which were one of the few things in the village where he could pass the time, and even now he is very impressed.

But unfortunately, at that time, I didn't know that the value of comic books would increase in the future. Grandpa's drawer, hundreds of comic books, were ruined by him.

Of course, not all comic strips have room to appreciate. Comic strips that are in too poor condition, too many in quantity, and too low in quality do not have much value for collection.

At the moment, most of what he saw in the stall were this kind of comic strips that didn't have much value. The general psychology of the truly precious things who will be placed casually.

Therefore, Guo Shouyun simply drew a few copies in it, picked it up and looked at it, and then looked at the innermost position where the comic book was placed, and it was also the position closest to the stall owner. If there is anything good on this stall, it will definitely be placed in the nearest stall owner's place, commonly known as 'pressing the hall'.
