Chapter Seventy-Four: Knocking
Meng Zitao and Shu Ze both saw it quickly, one had a goal and didn't care about anything else, and the other had an ability and knew the result, so they only chose what they were interested in.
After a while, the two of them basically saw almost everything in the room.
At this time, Meng Zitao picked up a blue and white jar and directly used the ability, but the result given by the ability made him slightly stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly looked at the thing in his hand.
I saw this blue and white jar, strong and steady. The whole body is painted with blue and white patterns, and the pattern is to visit friends with the piano. The old man rode a horse, in front of him there was a attendant carrying a tree and a flower branch on his shoulder to lead the way, and the attendant behind him was holding an umbrella, and a small boy was carrying a box roll, a gourd, and a Baoqin palace on his shoulder. On the other side, an official man rides a horse, there is a child holding a piano in front, and a child carrying a bookbox and a wine jar in the back.
A pattern like this was obviously made by a folk kiln, but the ability gave a high price, which was really a bit unexpected for Meng Zitao, but when he thought of the time given by the ability, he suddenly had a number in his heart.
Putting the blue and white jar away, Meng Zitao saw Shu Ze walking towards him: "Zitao, help me take a look at these things." ”
As he spoke, he took Meng Zitao to a few antiques he fancied and asked Meng Zitao to identify them.
With Shu Ze's explanation before, Meng Zitao knew that he only needed to make a show now, so he pretended to look at a few things, and it turned out that except for some problems with one of the seals, everything else was genuine.
Shu Ze beckoned to Ergou, asked him to come over, pointed to the few things, and said, "Just these few things, you can move them out." ”
"Okay!" Ergou's eyes swept over a few things, and he quickly nodded with a smile.
At this time, just as Meng Zitao was hesitating whether to open his mouth to take the blue and white jar down, he heard Shu Ze say with a smile: "Zitao, do you have anything you like?"
Ergou hurriedly took over and said, "Yes, Mr. Meng, you can choose whatever I have here, and the price is absolutely fair." ”
Shu Ze said with a smile: "Ergou, listen to what you mean, are you still going to come for two prices?"
"How is this possible?" Ergou waved his hand again and again to show that he had absolutely no such meaning, and he was very disgusted with Meng Zitao in his heart, who told Meng Zitao to ruin his business?
"Alright, that's it and this one. Meng Zitao was not polite, so he pointed to an agarwood Buddha hand playpiece, as well as the blue and white jar just now.
Ergou looked at it, the Buddha's hand is good, what does this Ming kiln blue and white jar mean, there won't be anything greasy in it, right?
Ergou said with a smile on his face: "Okay, you two go up and wait for a while, and I'll move them out immediately." ”
The two of them walked into the hall and waited for a while, and Ergou moved everything out.
Then, the two sides calculated the price, Shu Ze was more cheerful, and Ergou gave a reserve price, and Shu Ze didn't think much about it, so he agreed.
Ergou smiled and said, "Teacher Meng, these two things are worth 300,000 yuan for you, what do you think?"
Meng Zitao looked at Ergou's smiling appearance, he was a little annoyed in his heart, and sneered: "An agarwood Buddha hand play piece, plus a folk kiln blue and white flower, you want me 300,000?"
Ergou said with some grievances: "Teacher Meng, the first time you come here, you may not know that there are some things here that the owner put on our place for consignment, and the price is also opened by them, and I can't help it? ”
Seeing Shu Ze shrug his shoulders, Meng Zitao asked, "Then how much is this folk kiln blue and white flower?"
"The seller said at least 200,000. Ergou said: "Actually, I also think this one is quite difficult, so I can only give you a discount on another thing." ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "Then I won't embarrass you, I'll just want this trick." ”
"Well, you really don't. Ergou's eyes were a little surprised.
Meng Zitao smiled: "I chose this blue and white jar because there is a folk kiln project to study recently, take it for reference, otherwise you think I am full?"
Shu Ze took over and said, "Okay, Ergou, quickly put away your little bit of caution for me, and give me a happy word!"
"Shu Shao, it's not that I don't give you face, the seller really asks for it. Ergou said innocently.
Shu Ze laughed: "Ergou, do you think that you are about to leave, and your self-confidence is bursting? Okay! I don't care about others, if you can walk out of Jinling, I will have someone with your surname!"
Not to mention, Ergou's thoughts in his heart are indeed similar to what Shu Ze said, he feels that he is going to leave anyway, can Shu Ze still be able to hunt him down to the ends of the earth? Besides, there is still monitoring equipment here, and he really doesn't believe that Shu Ze can do anything with him now.
So, when he pretends to be a grandson on weekdays, he wanted to explode, so he threw his anger on Meng Zitao, who "destroyed" his business.
However, when Shu Ze said this, Ergou remembered that the Shu family was completely a behemoth to him, and if he wanted his life, he just had to crook his mouth. What kind of monitoring equipment, that's not a matter at all, do you still want to convict Shu Ze based on a sentence in the monitoring? That is simply wishful thinking.
Thinking of this, Ergou suddenly became anxious: "Shu Shao, you dissipate your anger, I really don't mean that." Otherwise, how about giving these two things to Mr. Meng?"
"No, it's as much as it should be, I'm not short of this amount of money. Meng Zitao directly refused.
"Teacher Meng, I know that you are not short of these money, but this is a little bit of my heart, can you accept it?"
The second dog arched, and he almost knelt down in that way.
Meng Zitao still disagreed: "No, no merit will not be punished." ”
Ergou hurriedly said: "Otherwise, you can just give some as you like." ”
Meng Zitao looked at Shu Ze, and when he saw that he said yes, he thought about it, took out 50,000 yuan in cash from his bag, and slapped it on the table.
Actually, he can give less, but as mentioned earlier, the channel of antiques is the most important, maybe there will be contact with Ergou in the future, and he doesn't have a background like Shu Ze, maybe he will give him small shoes to wear next time. Therefore, there is no need to make a bad deal with the second dog for some petty profits.
As for giving more, then there is no need, otherwise it will be a bit of a loss of face for Shu Ze.
Ergou hurriedly nodded and said, "Too much, too much." ”
Shu Ze waved his hand: "Okay, help us get our things to the car!"
"...... right away"
Ergou took everything to the cart with a cart, and Meng Zitao and Shu Ze got into the car and left.
In the car, Shu Ze said: "These people just don't fight for three days, go to the house to uncover the tiles, if it is not useful in the future, I want to uproot them just now." ”
There is a way for cats to have cat roads, and rats to have a way for rats, no matter how powerful the Shu family is, it is impossible to be comprehensive in every aspect, and sometimes, they can only rely on people like Ergou.
This is also one of the reasons why Shu Ze did not force his way into the basement before. And the other main reason is that there is a self-destruct device in the basement, and it is not pleasing to break into him.
After a few words, Shu Ze said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, is that porcelain just now really just a folk kiln?"
Meng Zitao nodded: "It is indeed a folk kiln." ”
Shu Ze was surprised: "Ah, you don't mean to say, what you said to Ergou just now is true." ”
"Of course it can't be. Meng Zitao smiled: "I don't know if you have ever heard of the term 'blank period'?"
After Xuande, the Ming Dynasty experienced a series of political changes, during which the society was in turmoil, external and internal strife successively, and the economy was depressed. The so-called blank period is the orthodox, Jingtai and Tianshun dynasties, which lasted nearly 30 years.
In this case, the porcelain industry has been greatly affected, and the official kiln porcelain has basically stopped firing. So far, among the handed down or excavated vessels, the age can be clearly determined, and the heirloom porcelain with the date written on it has not been found.
It is precisely because there is no official kiln porcelain with the year model in the heirloom so far, and the porcelain seen is produced by the people's kiln, and the production appearance of this period has always been confusing, so the academic community has the "blank period" and "black three generations" said.
Shu Ze immediately reacted: "In other words, that blue and white jar is a folk kiln work in the blank period?"
Meng Zitao nodded and said: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a folk kiln work of the Jingtai period." ”
Shu Ze was very interested when he heard this: "You park the car for a while, I'll take a look." ”
"Row ......"
Meng Zitao stopped the car, Shu Ze took out the blue and white jar, looked at it carefully, and asked while looking at it: "Zitao, how do you judge that it is from the Jingtai period?"
Meng Zitao said: "I didn't have time to look at the specifics, I only talked about the green materials and brushes. During the Jingtai period, the pigment was mainly made of domestic materials, with low cobalt content, so the hair color was clear, which was very suitable for depicting the scene of human activities, and this blue and white jar was such a performance. ”
"That's right. Shu Ze nodded.
Meng Zitao continued: "Looking at the painting, the composition is distinct, sparse, finely drawn, the characters are smart, the clothes and ornaments are not messy, and they are extremely exquisite; ”
In addition, in the brushes of flowers and trees, etc., the characteristics of the times are obvious, which is the typical characteristic of the blank period. Coupled with the natural pulp, I think the eight achievements are undoubtedly the folk kiln works of the Jingtai period. ”
Shu Ze said while watching: "You are right, the tire of this blue and white jar is a little rough, and the bottom of the utensils is a white sand bottom. The glaze layer is thick and has fine bubbles. The glaze is white and blue, showing a jade texture. The thick part of the cobalt material is dark blue, grayish black, with brown spots, and the thin part of the cobalt material is light, gray-green, not bright. These are also the characteristics of the Jingtai period......"
