Chapter 53: Windfall

Tang Feng paid the bill, the two left the old shop of Tongli Rouyan, on the street, Liu Yue jumped in front, she turned back to Tang Feng very proudly and said: "Such a carefree day is a kind of enjoyment." Tang Feng looked at her excited appearance of releasing her mood, and couldn't help but shake his head, the environment may not be shaping the character but killing the character, otherwise why would so many people have completely different dual personalities?

Life is like a movie, a very few lucky people perform in their true colors, some people are adapting to the role, and more people are just passers-by.

We have long been changed by the environment to be extremely false.

Liu Yue pointed to an antique shop called "Wenfang" not far in front and said to Tang Feng: "Let's go there and have a look." ”

With the popularization of computers, the way of writing gradually began to shift to the keyboard, and the people who use fountain pens and ballpoint pens are decreasing, and those who understand calligraphy are rare, so it is not surprising that the antique shop that operates the four treasures of the study is full of birds.

Tang Feng and Liu Yue walked into the store together, the first thing that caught their eyes was the rows of brushes, the antique shop is naturally different from the stationery store, the price of these brushes is not low, they are aimed at the high-end market. Although there are very few people who know calligraphy, most of these few people are outstanding social elites, and there are very few leaders above the city level who do not know calligraphy. There are not many people like Lin Muyu who practice calligraphy purely for hobbies, and those elementary school students who learn calligraphy are basically forced to practice by their parents.

Among the four treasures of the study, except for the inkstone, the other three treasures are difficult to equate with antiques, Tang Feng was not interested in these, he just wanted to buy a better set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Lin Muyu. The most prestigious four treasures of the study are the pen of Huzhou, Zhejiang, the ink of Huizhou, Anhui, the paper of Xuanzhou, Anhui, and the inkstone of Duanzhou, Guangdong.

The four treasures of the study, the first of the lake pen, the brush produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province is referred to as the lake pen, the birthplace and main production area of the lake pen in Shanlian Town, Huzhou City, which is known as the "pen capital" reputation. Lake pens are all handmade, the production process is very complex, a lake pen from the raw materials imported to the factory, generally need to go through 12 large processes, more than 120 small processes, this only refers to the use of bamboo tube to make the lake pen, if the use of other high-quality materials to make the pen tube, the process is more.

Tang Feng fell in love with a set of Zihaohu pens with golden silk nanmu as the pen tube, a set of brushes composed of three brushes of different specifications, just such a set of brushes, the price is 3,000 yuan. This price sounds staggering, but it is also reasonable, because it is made of golden silk nanmu, which is a very precious high-quality good material, it has few straight knots, smooth texture and is not easy to deform, and it is not rotten or moth-eaten for thousands of years, and its value is higher than that of other high-quality hardwoods. Like rosewood, the golden silk nanmu was extinct as early as the early Qing Dynasty, that is to say, the golden silk nanmu used in this set of brushes must be ancient wood. Similarly, Zihao is also the most expensive raw material for making pens, and the price of a good pen is a little more expensive.

A brush of 1,000 yuan, Tang Feng was born as a farmer after all, and he must be reluctant to buy it if he changes it, it is not a matter of money, but since it was given to Lin Muyu, he bought it generously without saying a word.

Walking into a shop, you can see the difference between the boss and the guy from his expression, the owner of this antique shop is obviously not there, at first, the young guy only cares about peeking at Liu Yue and ignores Tang Feng, but when Tang Feng buys the most expensive brush in their store, he immediately becomes enthusiastic. The guy said while packing for Tang Feng: "This gentleman has good eyesight, there are only ten sets of this kind of golden silk nanmu purple hair, and this is the last set." ”

Tang Feng and he politely said a few words without nutrition and then began to choose rice paper, Chinese rice paper is a famous paper throughout the ancient and modern times, writing bones and spirits, painting is vibrant, it is the best embodiment of Chinese art style of calligraphy and painting paper, it is resistant to aging, does not change color, less insects, long life, has the reputation of "the king of paper, millennium paper". Most of the rare books and calligraphy and painting inkblots that have been handed down in China to the present day are based on rice paper. Xuan paper is not only good and cheap, even the price of old paper is only a few dozen yuan, Tang Feng then bought a knife of aged rice paper, paper stored for more than five years can be called old paper, the knife is a measure word, a knife is a hundred. Tang Feng then prepared to select the ink, and the guy who had completely turned his attention to Tang Feng whispered to Tang Feng: "This gentleman, there are other ancient papers and ancient inks left by other customers in our store to consign, do you want to take a look?"

Tang Feng immediately understood in his heart, no wonder this guy suddenly became so polite, and he kept asking where he was from, it turned out that there was such a thing. Tang Feng will not believe the so-called consignment in this guy's mouth, this is a black goods that cannot be put on the table, just like the people who sold discs on the streets and alleys in the past, looking at the obscene guests, he said, buddy, do you want to be fierce? There is also a possibility, these things may be this guy hiding from the boss to make extra money, no matter what, this kind of thing is to sell to passers-by like Tang Feng to rest assured.

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Take it out and take a look." ”

The guy continued, "It's going to be good, but it's ...... price," and he only said half of it.

Tang Feng said: "The things are good, and there is no problem if the price is not too outrageous." ”

"Okay, wait a minute. As soon as the man finished speaking, he opened the innermost container in the store

Liu Yue was beside Tang Feng, she heard their conversation, she asked Tang Feng in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that what he took out is black goods?"

"It doesn't matter if the black goods arrive, the most afraid is that they are fakes. Tang Feng smiled before he continued: "A few pieces of ancient paper and ancient ink are not enough to deal with the big crime of reselling cultural relics." ”

"It's coming. The guy pulled out a black plastic bag from the cupboard.
