Jiang Tan Lao is well versed in the way of doing business, and he knows that he can't let go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info opened his heart to call the lowest price, but he didn't see that when Zhuang Rui turned around, the corners of his mouth already showed a smile.
"Boss, the thousand dollars you said won't be dollars, right?"
Zhuang Rui deliberately asked with an honest look, causing a burst of laughter all around, and the onlookers thought that Zhuang Rui was ridiculing the stall owner, because this black thing didn't look like a valuable thing, and it was called from three thousand to one thousand, which directly shrank by two-thirds, indicating that the boss was not optimistic about this object at all.
"Dude, do you have US dollars?
ā¦ā
The stall owner's face became a little unsightly. Although everyone knows that the things sold here are fake, it can't be said on the face, what Zhuang Rui asked just now is a bit of a crowd.
"I didn't say no, I just asked clearly before buying, and you will say it will be dollars later,"
Zhuang Rui took out the wallet from the pocket of his jeans, counted the dollars and handed it over, he usually put forty or fifty thousand cash in the bag he usually carried, but the weather was too hot, he was too lazy to take the bag, so he put a knife in the wallet. Yuan, if the stall is 3,000, he really can't pay for it for a while, and this stall can't be swiped.
After the stall owner took the money, he squeezed the meat skin together with a thin face, like a chrysanthemum, and took out a cardboard box with his hands and feet very quickly, of course, there was no packaging of the Qing Kangxi jar, put the clay pot in the box, and stuffed some plastic foam and other fillers in the middle, and then found a rope to tie a knot, which was handed over to Zhuang Rui.
"Hey, boss, why don't you play it up again?
"Thanks, next time my house has been renovated. Come and buy something from you to fill the door. ā
Zhuang Rui's words once again attracted a look of contempt. Especially seeing such a graceful and lovely woman as Miao Feifei by his side, it made many people who boasted that they were more handsome than Zhuang Rui and their pockets were more uncomfortable than Zhuang Rui's eyes.
After walking out of this corner and walking forward for thirty or forty meters, until he couldn't see the stall, Zhuang Rui couldn't help it, laughed, attracted the sideways eyes of the people around him, and pulled his body away from Zhuang Rui a few meters.
"Zhuang Rui, don't giggle, what is that thing you bought, Le Cheng is like this?.
Miao Feifei stood in front of Zhuang Rui, and even admired it as a rare animal, and hurriedly pulled Zhuang Rui and squeezed into the crowd.
"Hey, slow down, don't squeeze my thing. ā
Zhuang Rui held the box with both hands, this object is expensive, I didn't expect Pan Jiayuan to have this harvest next time, and it was a worthwhile trip.
The two walked to the door of a shop, and when they were no longer crowded by the crowd, Zhuang Rui said: "This thing is called black pottery, and the age should be the Longkou culture period in Shandong in the late Neolithic period." The production process of black pottery is more sophisticated, delicate, delicate and unique than the original painted pottery, as early as the production of porcelain about the edge of the force, Chinese black pottery has reached a level of craftsmanship comparable to porcelain. The value of this thing. It's much more expensive than the chicken bowl cup we saw in Zhonghai
Black pottery has been not famous in history until the year of yo, Liang Qi's son Mr. Liang Siyong, led the Kaoran team in the cultural site of Rizhao Liangcheng in Shandong Province to present Chengkou's rare pottery high-handled hollow eggshell pottery cup many years ago. Unglazed and black and bright, thin and hard in texture, its wall is the thickest, millimeters, the thinnest is only millimeters, the weight is only a knife, and the craftsmanship is fine. It is a unique in the world.
Therefore, the black pottery has become a typical representative of Longshan culture, also known as "standard black pottery" embodies a simple and simple ultimate beauty, with a high degree of artistry, occupies an important place in the history of Chinese arts and crafts, and is praised by the world archaeological community as "the most exquisite production of the earth's civilization four thousand years ago." ā
The black clay jar that Zhuang Rui found naturally couldn't be compared with the eggshell pottery cup. However, it is also extremely rare, the number of black pottery in the world is not small, but the fine products of thin tires are rare, maybe this jar in Zhuang Rui's hand. It's a one-of-a-kind product, and in that case, the price is incalculable.
"Zhuang Rui, how much can this jar sell for? .
Miao Feifei wasn't very interested in the origin of this thing, she just wanted to know how much Zhuang Rui was worth the things he bought with Qu Yuan?
Zhuang Rui glanced at the four sides, deliberately made a mysterious appearance, and said: "If you sell in the industry or exchange it with people, you should be able to sell it for tens of thousands, but if you get it in the auction house." The minimum is more than three million, and how much it can be sold is very talkative
"Three million? God, you bought it for money, Zhuang Rui, I'm only here now, you're really dark." ā
Miao Feifei was shocked by this price, although she had a good family background and had never been short of money in her hands, but it was not earned by herself, she never thought that this money could be earned so easily, which made Officer Miao's thinking a little confused, and Zhuang Rui's image was also infinitely higher in her heart.
In fact, Zhuang Rui's price, just now is already less to say, in recent years to play fine pottery people have also increased, especially the price of black pottery, white pottery and painted pottery, in recent years is rising by leaps and bounds, compared to some of the Ming and Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain is not much better, but the number of such collections is relatively rare. Naturally, the number of auctions is very small, so the public knows less about them.
However, in the circle of playing pottery, there is naturally such a group of people who pay attention, if Zhuang Rui's black pottery work is put up for auction, as long as it is slightly publicized in advance, the reserve price is estimated to be higher than four million.
"I said this little brother, you are in this box. Is it really Longshan black pottery?"
Zhuang Rui and Miao Feifei were taken aback by a voice next to them, and following the reputation, it was a thin old man in his sixties and sixties, wearing a one-piece gown and a pair of cloth shoes under his feet, looking a bit like the big shopkeeper in the pawnshop before liberation.
"Does it have anything to do with you?
Officer Miao glared with a pair of phoenix eyes, this old man's appearance was a little obscene, and Miss Miao had never been very interested in unbeautiful things and people.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all. But can this little brother make me gain knowledge of the old man?"
The old man turned his face to Zhuang Rui, he could see that this thing belonged to Zhuang Rui, and naturally he was in charge.
"I'm sorry, I just said it casually. It's not necessarily true, it's better to avoid it, this place is a bit miscellaneous, Zhuang Rui didn't want to show this object in front of people, he had thought about it just now. After the renovation of the courtyard is completed, this thing will definitely be the first to settle in.
Seeing that Zhuang Rui was leaving, the old man hurriedly pointed to the shop in front of him and said, "Hey, little brother, don't worry, I'm not a bad person, oh, I opened this shop, let's go in and sit." Is it Longshan black pottery, everyone can also learn from each other
Zhuang Rui looked up, and the storefront was not on the top of the signboard, which read, "Porcelain Workshop." Three. Big characters, there are a lot of people coming and going from the side, this will also be a little tired, just to sit down and rest, so he nodded and said, "Okay, that kid please advise."
Miao Feifei was a little unhappy, but when she saw Zhuang Rui entering, she reluctantly followed behind
This antique shop specializes in ceramics. On the large and small wooden shelves, there are all kinds of ceramic objects, and Zhuang Rui took a general look. There should be no less than a thousand pieces of ceramics, but there is also a counter in the store, and there is also a row of shelves in the back. Presumably, what is on top of that is the old thing with inheritance.
The old man who walked in front was surnamed that, and he could be regarded as a second-generation widow of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and he had a lot of old gadgets in his family since he was a child. It's just that his old man, who can only eat, drink, prostitute, gamble and smoke, is all ruined.
However, Xiao Na was quite competitive, relying on a few small items left by his ancestors, and resold antiques in the early eighties. The antiques in Beijing are not worth much, and the square table of pear blossom wood is only five yuan a small one, and the antique business has been done for decades, and people have become old ones, and they have also bought a lot of money with their bare hands.
The shopkeeper overheard the conversation between Zhuang Rui and Miao Feifei just now, and he didn't pay much attention to it. It was only when he saw the confident look on Zhuang Rui's face that the ghost sent him to think about it, which led to the previous scene.
Under the leadership of the shopkeeper, the three of them entered a private room inside, and after calling the man to pour the tea, the shopkeeper's eyes fell on the cardboard box.
Zhuang Rui didn't say anything wordy, after reporting each other's names. So he reached out and opened the cardboard box, grabbed the edge of the black clay jar, and took it out. Place it on the table.
"This thing, but it's a little hard to say, this fetus is quite thin, but it's a bit like dragon's mouth black pottery. However, the glaze color of this package of pulp is a little uncertain
The shopkeeper took a magnifying glass, circled the wide-brimmed potbelly jar for a long time, and knocked it with his hand. His face was a little disappointed, he had never seen the real Longshan black pottery, but this thing was a bit like a later imitation, and the legendary black pottery's "black as lacquer, thin as paper" characteristics, not very consistent.
The "black as lacquer" quality of Longshan black pottery. It does not refer to simple black, but the brightness of the black, but the color of this black pottery is dull, and even the pulp is not so porcelain.
Zhuang Rui laughed a few times after seeing the shopkeeper's expression, and said, "That boss." You should have tung oil and white gauze, right? Please bring some and I'll clean this black pottery. ā
"Isn't that for furniture maintenance?"
The shopkeeper was a little puzzled when he heard this, he had been immersed in the porcelain industry for decades, and he had not heard that tung oil could clean ceramics, but since Zhuang Rui said so, there must be his reason, so the shopkeeper hurriedly confessed and went out to prepare tung oil and gauze.
Chapter 303: Black as Paint, Thin as Paper (II)
Tung oil is the oil extracted from the seeds of tung oil, a special oil tree species in China. Tung oil belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family Tung oil, native to our country, the cultivation history is long, more than 1,000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty is recorded, the Yuan Dynasty by the Italian Marco Polo introduced, tung oil on the travel far overseas.
The appearance of tung oil is a clear transparent liquid, which has the characteristics of rapid drying, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and can replace coatings such as varnish and paint, and is directly used for machine maintenance and indoor wood flooring. Wooden ceilings. Sauna board. wooden balcony handrails, etc. Exterior wooden floors. Flower stands, wooden houses. Gazebos, fences, wooden bridges, boats, chairs, etc.
However, few people know that the tung oil diluted with water can also be used for ceramic maintenance, which is also the unique formula taught by Uncle De to Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui only agreed to the shopkeeper, nothing more than to borrow a little tung oil from him. It's going to take a lot of effort to let him buy it himself.
"Xiaozhuang, I've kept you waiting, I didn't store this thing in this store, and I still borrowed it from someone else. ā
In the general furniture store, some tung oil will be stored for backup, but the porcelain shop is gone, Zhuang Rui waited for about ten minutes, and the shopkeeper walked in with a small bowl and a thick stack of white gauze in his hand.
"Shopkeeper, please bring me two more large bowls
Although tung oil is transparent, there are some impurities in it, which must be filtered before it can be used, and Zhuang Rong is also the first time to use this formula taught by Uncle De, and he can't help but feel a little nervous.
Zhuang Rui took the big bowl handed over by the shopkeeper. Covered the mouth of the bowl with white gauze, slowly poured the tung oil in another small bowl, and it can be seen with the naked eye that there are some impurities left on the gauze, and then Zhuang Rui changed another gauze and filtered the tung oil in the big bowl again. After doing this three times, the impurities are cleaned up.
After filtering the tung oil, Zhuang Rui took a clean big bowl, took two-thirds of the water, and then poured a little of the filtered tung oil, about a spoonful of roots, and the tung oil did not dissolve in the water. Zhuang Rui took a chopstick and kept stirring. After three or four minutes, the tung oil, which looks like egg whites, melts into the water.
After mixing the tung oil and water, Zhuang Rui took a piece of clean white gauze and soaked it in it. Because tung oil is relatively fast and easy to dry, this gauze can only be taken out when it is used. After doing these things, Zhuang Rui cleaned the black clay jar again, and then wiped it with a dry cloth. Put the sunlight at the door of this room to the backyard can shine to the place, the density of the pottery is not as large as the porcelain, after the water, it will seep into the inside, just wipe the outside clean is not enough, but this August weather, the sun is very strong, and it is estimated that the water inside can be dried after a while.
"Brother Zhuang, old man, I really gained knowledge today, it turns out that tung oil can still be used like this? .
After Zhuang Rui finished this series of actions, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and he firmly knew Zhuang Rui's every move just now, even if it was a slight move. People who come to know this skill are all secretive, and Zhuang Ruiken uses this method in front of him, for him, it is a great opportunity.
"It's just a trick that makes the boss laugh
Zhuang Rui didn't care much, when Uncle De taught him this technique, he didn't say that he couldn't use it in front of people.
"By the way, boss, do you have any study utensils for sale?"
When Zhuang Rui walked into the store just now, he saw that there seemed to be a few inkstones behind the counter, Zhuang Rui knew that the ancient old man's calligraphy was good, and he usually liked to grind and wave his own inkstone when he was fine, and it was good to go to see the old man buy the inkstone at night.
"Hehe, I'm specializing in ceramics, the four treasures of the study are really not, the little brother saw the inkstones in my store, right? That thing was sold by someone some time ago, I looked good and accepted it, if Brother Zhuang is interested, I'll take it to you."
The palm pole stood up while talking, and he had not been able to make a move after receiving the inkstones, although the price was very cheap when he received it, but it was uncomfortable to press on his hand.
"Brother Zhuang, take a look, if you like it. Just take it and play with it. ā
The shopkeeper also found someone to see it, these inkstones are very common, and the age is not very long, it is estimated that it was made in the Republic of China, but although he said it generously, Zhuang Rui can't really not give money and take it, so it is too unsophisticated.
Zhuang Rui knows very little about inkstones, only that there are four famous inkstones in China, namely the Yanhe stone inkstone produced in the Tonghe River in Lintan County, Gansu Province, China. Qin inkstone produced in Wuxi at the western foot of Longwei Mountain, Poyuan, Jiangxi Province, is a Chengni inkstone made of fine mud materials that flow through. and the end inkstone, which was pushed to be the group of inkstones. But how to tell the difference, he is a layman.
I can't say, Zhuang Rui can only use the aura to investigate, but the result makes him very disappointed, there is no trace of aura in these inkstones, and the materials are rough, it should be just the most ordinary stone inkstone.
Zhuang Rui shook his head and said, "The boss." I can't see these inkstones, hehe, forget it
The shopkeeper was not disappointed when he heard this, he was not optimistic about these inkstones, and it was naturally best to fool them out, but after listening to Zhuang Rui's words, he obviously saw it, and said at the moment, "If you have time in a while, I will take you to the Shuyazhai opposite to have a look, and it is estimated that you can get a good inkstone there." ā
"Cheng, then I have to trouble the boss when I go back. ā
Zhuang Rui nodded, stood up, took the clay pot at the door to the house, and rubbed it on it with his hand, but there was no longer a feeling of wetness, and the water that must have seeped into the jar body. It's all steamed.
Although this clay pot has been cleaned, the black color still looks very dull and looks inconspicuous, but Zhuang Rui knows that this is due to the characteristics of the pottery, like the porcelain after a long time, the porcelain will be slightly yellow, and the pottery will form a substance on the surface after the oxidation and erosion of time, so that its surface is dusty and dull.
Zhuang Rui stretched out his hand to take out the gauze soaked in the bowl containing tung oil, and then used the gauze soaked in tung oil water. Carefully and evenly wipe the black clay jar until the jar is covered with tung oil and water. Zhuang Rui hurriedly took another piece of clean gauze and quickly rubbed it the jar. And where he rubbed it, it was "as black as paint." bright as a mirror", the color was presented in front of the shopkeeper and Miao Feifei.
After seven or eight minutes, the whole clay pot has been renewed, this pearl of Longshan black pottery that was dusted for several years ago finally revealed its original appearance in Zhuang Rui's hands, the kind of black translucent, bright with light, light with flesh in the dark color. Zhuang Rui, who was sweating profusely, was also fascinated by it.
No matter what color it is, as long as it is pure to the extreme, it can reveal its unique charm, which is the case with this black pottery from the Longshan culture period. Although there is no trace of ornamentation on it, the lightness, elegance and purity of the simplicity to the extreme make it exude a mysterious charm.
The black pottery placed on the table is so dignified and graceful after revealing its original face, its material is delicate and moist, calm and elegant in the luster, and has a soft and quiet beauty like a pearl.
Zhuang Rui picked up the clay pot, stretched out his hand and tapped it gently, and a pleasant sound of jade came out of it, and the black jar was like black jade, and there was a hidden bronze light, reflecting Zhuang Rui's face clearly, like a mirror.
"Brother Zhuang, what a good vision, I am ashamed of myself as an old man
Seeing the birth of this black pottery with his own eyes, the shopkeeper had already seen it with a light in his eyes, and he couldn't help himself. He is a porcelain player, so he naturally knows the value of this object, and I am afraid that all the genuine porcelain in his store is not worth as much as this black pottery.
"Where, the boss is too polite, I happened to hear the elders describe the characteristics of black pottery, so I was lucky to pick up a leak, luck, luck. ā
Zhuang Rui smiled modestly, I am afraid that the matter of buying black pottery by myself will spread all over Panjiayuan in a few days, I don't know what the clever stall owner will be angry like if he knows that it is the treasure he sold.
"Brother Zhuang, you black pottery, do you want to make a move? My old man can follow, the price will definitely satisfy you." ā
After observing for a long time, the shopkeeper finally couldn't bear it, such a fine black pottery, not to mention in the folk, is in the major museums in China. Not necessarily, but it was with that palm that the thought of taking it into his pocket.
Before Zhuang Rui could reply, the shopkeeper heard the voice of the girl who came in with Zhuang Rui: "Zhuang Rui, you can't sell it, such a beautiful thing, when your courtyard is decorated, how good it is to put it in the living room." ā
Zhuang Rui smiled like the shopkeeper, but he didn't say anything, what Miao Feifei said, as he thought, he would not sell this object for money. But as for what Miao Feifei said, it was placed in the living room. Zhuang Rui has to think about it, after all, this thing is too expensive, I am afraid that when the time comes, I will have to learn viagra and his father, and specially order a booth to make a few spotlights in it, although it is a little ostentatious, but buddy This is also to promote the traditional national culture. The reward is suffocating, the pipa is smothered, and the female knife hoe is dare.
