Boss Song pondered for a while, and said: "If the gourd is inherited, the time is not long, the appearance of the early gourd was in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and the local officials paid tribute to the palace for the princes and nobles to play and enjoy, and it would be called an official mold."

The heyday of the gourd is also between the prosperous times of Kang and Qian, with more and more people appreciating the fun, the manufacture of the gourd has been vigorously developed, and then it was introduced to the people.

And the pioneer of the folk model gourd is the first to recommend Sanhe Liu Qiren, his masterpieces like the head of a tall monk, the head of a short monk, a smacking stick, a gourd with teeth, etc., highly respected by later generations, its value has also exceeded the official mold, in the Xianfeng years, many nobles and eunuchs in the palace, playing are the gourd of Sanhe Liu, it can be seen that Sanhe Liu's works are rare to find both at that time and in modern times, collectors who play miscellaneous, but they all want to have a gourd of Sanhe Liu, Brother Zhuang, your luck is really good. ”

Zhuang Rui smiled, he didn't say anything, he knew that what he said at this time would be thought that he was hypocritical, and it was better to be silent than a hundred words.

"In recent years, people's living standards have improved, many people's homes in addition to raising flowers and grass, in the New Year can also be heard the sound of grasshoppers, which is also a fun, not to mention, in our market, at least one hundred and eighty people raise grasshoppers, now Tianjin winter in the people who raise grasshoppers, more than summer, who can raise the grasshoppers in summer and autumn to the Spring Festival, who is the "big player", the price of the grasshopper gourd is also going all the way up, but like Sanhe Liu, such a boutique, that is priceless and marketable. ”

Boss Wang on the side continued Boss Song's words, unconcealing the envy on his face, for collectors like them, the price of things is only one aspect, and more importantly, a certain type of object is too rare, and many times it is not possible to buy it with money.

In fact, what Wang and Song did not say is that with the increase in the number of people playing with grasshoppers, the artificial breeding of grasshoppers has flourished to become an industry, so during the Spring Festival, many families in the Beijing-Tianjin area and the surrounding areas have also become a scene, which also expresses the yearning of urban people for pastoral life, and the high-quality grasshopper gourd with years of age is naturally rising, and even some people who do not play collection are also fond of some good grasshopper gourds.

"Hey, I said two brothers, I've been talking about this for a long time, how much is this thing worth?"

Liu Chuan pricked up his ears and listened for a long time, but he still didn't know the price of this gourd, so he couldn't help asking.

Old Man Lu said angrily when he heard this: "You kid cares about the price, you know, this thing hasn't appeared for many years, I only saw one forty years ago, and you can't buy it if you have money." ”

Seeing that Liu Chuan still looked confused, Boss Song explained: "According to the market situation, Sanhe Liu's gourd is about 5 to 100,000 yuan, but now there are more people playing with gnats, and the price is still rising, so it will be difficult to say in a few years." ”

"Oh, isn't it worth tens of thousands of yuan, don't you just end it with a good talk, you old man is really verbose, by the way, Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu, why did you only give Nobita 100 yesterday......?

Liu Chuan finally figured out the price of this object, heard that it was only tens of thousands of yuan, he didn't care very much, not only him, the people in this store, except for Zhuang Rui, no one would put this money in their eyes, but the price on the market does not fully represent the value of antiques, Liu Chuan will not understand, if you really meet someone who likes this object, it is normal to buy it for more than 100,000 yuan, as the saying goes: it is difficult to buy a thousand dollars I like, that's the truth.

Liu Chuan's words seemed to stab the sore spot of Old Man Lu, raised the old man's angry eyebrows, pointed at Liu Chuan and scolded: "You kid roll the calf for me, I'll open 100 yuan, that's a leak, do you know, that's the exquisite eyesight, do business, enjoy the fun, you stinky boy is gone, in the future, you will sell dogs and raise cats." ”

The two bosses of Song Wang next to him also nodded thoughtfully, the fun of collecting also lies in the process, and the satisfaction in your heart after you successfully pick up the leak is something that outsiders can't feel.

"Isn't it that I didn't pick up the leak, and my brother preempted it, what kind of anger ......", Liu Chuan muttered in a silly voice.

"Brother Zhuang, you also know the origin of the inheritance of this gourd, I don't know if there is any interest in making a move?"

Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Boss Song opened his mouth and said to Zhuang Rui.

Zhuang Rui is also thinking in his heart at the moment, this time has spent a lot of money, and there are tens of thousands of money left in his hand, in case he encounters any good things again, he may not have enough money to collect, anyway, the aura in this gourd has been absorbed by himself, it is better to sell it.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui opened his mouth and said: "I bought this gourd, in fact, I wanted to raise the gourd inside, but I didn't expect this gourd to be a treasure, if Brother Song likes it, I will give it to you, but I want to keep the gourd inside." ”

"Hey, Xiao Song, I fell in love with this thing yesterday, you won't rob it with my old man, you know, I'm playing miscellaneous, I've been looking for this object for a long time. As soon as he heard that Zhuang Rui intended to sell this gourd, Old Man Lu couldn't sit still.

"Hehe, old man, you let me this time, you can't put down the good things in your old house, what are you robbing with us juniors, Xiaozhuang, I will pay 60,000 yuan for this gourd." Although Song Jun was respectful to the old man, he didn't let it go at all, and even shouted out the price.

"I'll give 70,000!"

Boss Wang, who has been talking to the side, actually shouted the price, it's not that they are tearing each other down, it's just that Sanhe Liu's gourd is indeed rare, and this one belongs to Sanhe Liu's masterpiece in terms of quality, pulp, hollow core, and sound reeds.

As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and people who play collects will not let go easily when they encounter their favorite objects, and some collectors can even grind sellers for several years in order to get what they like, which will be no one who will pay attention to respecting the old and loving the young.

"80,000, Xiaozhuang, I'll give you another gourd from the Republic of China period, although it's not expensive, it's worth three or five thousand, what do you think?"

In fact, from the market value of this gourd, if the player communicates in private, 80,000 should be considered a high price, of course, if it goes through some publicity, and then enters the auction house for auction, the price is uncertain.

After hearing the quotation of the shopkeeper Lu, the two bosses of King Song were a little hesitant, the reason why they wanted to accept this gourd of Sanhe Liu, one is really like it in their hearts, and this is also a strange commodity to live in, maybe when the boss who is prevalent in the north to play the gnather takes a fancy to it, and it can also make a fortune, but the price of 80,000 yuan, the profit margin is very small, if the price is raised again, they will have to take a certain risk, and more importantly, they are not specialized in playing miscellaneous, if the price is raised again, it will be a bit of malicious competition。

The two glanced at each other, and shook their heads slowly, although the old man Lu who had no competitors took this gourd, but his heart was also very bitter, this object was originally the first thing he touched, if it wasn't for yesterday's hard work, I wanted to dry the original owner of this gourd, this thing would have already become something in his pocket, in one day, the price has increased nearly a hundred times, how could he be happy.

"I'll give 150,000 ......"

Just as Zhuang Rui was about to agree to the deal, Qin Xuanbing's cold voice rang out.
